Tyler grinned. "Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, you mess things up, but you fix them too." His expression softened, because it was a flippant answer to a serious question, even if he didn't regret it.
His fingers combed through Reid's hair, slowly, front to back. "You weren't the only one messing things up in those relationships. You made mistakes, yeah, I've seen you make a whole shitload of mistakes. And I know you fix them, if you can. You make it right."
And that was sort of an explanation. And sort of a reassurance, and he wasn't sure how else to explain it so he leaned in and kissed his forehead. And then kissed his mouth, because he could.
God, that was wonderful.
"You're even more amazing because you do have the balls to go back and make things right when you mess things up," he breathed. There, that was what he'd meant to say. "And that's pretty fucking special."
