Eric honestly couldn't fathom anyone forgetting about Lily, even the slightest. Granted, they were only together for about three months and the holidays seemingly got in the way, he wouldn't ever forget the time that they were a couple. He was just thankful that the red-head still wanted to be best friends after their relationship ended. It just wasn't far to either one that they were thinking about someone else while not having strong enough feelings for each other. Eric had always liked Sydney, but at the time, he did like Lily as well. It was just a way to forget something that he couldn't have with his older brother's best friend.
Placing an uneasy look on his facial expression, Eric hadn't noticed that someone looking at the way he looked at Syndey. He was in love with her, so there wasn't a reason to not look at her in that particular way, right? "Clothes were going to stay on. I swear," he said, feeling grateful that Daniel had done a verbal warning before Patrick caught the spikey-haired male on top of his best friend. He wanted to have sex. There was no point in lying that it was on his mind, but Eric wasn't sure if he was ready for that next step yet.
Eric looked at his brother, pursing his lips together. What had Daniel mean about an awkward conversation with dad? He honestly thought that it would be worse to have one with Patrick. Hearing things from Daniel was rather easier then others for him. Maybe it was for the fact that he honestly looked up to his elder brother. Even so, the thought of a weird conversation confused him.
He watched Daniel pull out the magazine and Eric took it rather causiously, letting his eyes trail over the attractive woman on the cover. It was then that it hit him exactly what the conversation was going to be about. Sex. "Uh," he said with his voice wavering just a little bit. The spikey haired male looked down at the magazine opening up just a little bit. He felt as though the holy grail was in his hands, shining brightly. It didn't help that he felt bad for even having it in his room while he had a girlfriend. "Obviously," he said blinking just a little bit.
