It Can't Be...

Chapter 18

A/N:  Here is another chapter.  I hope you enjoy it.  

By the way, I didn't have time to photoshop a picture of Tae with light brown hair and red highlights, but I'm sure that you can imagine it yourself.  :)

Dean POV

I can't take my eyes of Tee and Detrick. Well, I have to try and not stare at Tee too much, or Tae will rip me apart.

I still can't believe this. I think the Gods have heard my prayers. Ever since I conceded my defeat to Tae and stopped trying to go after Tee, I have been praying to whatever god would listen to me. I wanted another chance with Tee. No, I didn't wish for him and Tae to break-up, but I did want a chance.

I fight to keep the smile from appearing on my face, but I can't. No matter how hard I try, I just can't control myself. However, I am able to fight the urge to do a celebration dance or even run around the table and wrap my arms around Detrick. No. I can't do that. I might scare him away. I can't have that.

Detrick slides a little closer to Tee, like a scared bunny rabbit. Well, I can't argue the fact that I would love to devour him right now, but I'm not going to force myself on him. No. I'll take it slow as best as I can.

My uncle's harsh voice breaks my trance as he barks, "Dean, you will behave yourself, or I'll have to ask you to leave right now. Detrick has issues dealing with new people, so don't add on top of that perverts. Do you hear me?"

I tentatively look at my uncle and nod my head. I want to protest, but my mind can't get past my uncle's statement that Detrick has issues dealing with new people. Did something happen in his past that made him like this or is he naturally hesitant and shy around strangers?

I steel another glance across the table at Detrick. He is perfect, just like his brother.

One thing is for sure. I'm not going to let him get away. I'm going to make him mine.

I was too late with Tee. I actually saw Tee before Tae did, but I wasn't able to go to him that day. I was helping Tae move some things into his dorm and when I was done, I took a stroll around campus. It was nostalgic being back, since I had graduated the year before. While walking around, I saw this beautiful angel. However, before I could go to him, my phone rang, and my father needed me back at the house right away. So, I left that day without being able to talk to Tee, and when I finally got a chance to go back to the university a few days later, I was pissed seeing Tae and Tee together. I tried to talk to Tae, but it didn't end well. Reluctantly, I backed off and conceded that Tae was with Tee. But in the back of my mind, I've been wishing that Tee had a brother. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that it was possible.

I begin to dish up food, but I keep glancing from time to time at Detrick. I don't want to upset my uncle, but I just can't control myself. He is a perfect angel.

I had a smile plastered on my face for the rest of the night and I slowly tried to get a little closer to Detrick. However, Tae seemed to keep him guarded just like he does for Tee. Why is Tae so protective? It isn't like he is dating both brothers. Ugh..

Usually, I don't stay the night when I visit my aunt and uncle, but today is different. Today, I have decided to spend the night, especially after hearing that Detrick and Tee are also staying.

I found out from Fay which room that they were staying in and I managed to convince my aunt and uncle to let me stay in the room just down the hall from them. I would have rather stayed in the room right across the hall, but that room isn't available for people to use. My aunt and uncle converted it into a game room for my cousins.
