On buckets, videos and pillows
Summary: Dylan knows that it’s for a good cause. He donated already, he knows how much it means to a lot of people, and how much it means to Tyler. It’s not that he’s afraid of the cold water, or that he’s that opposed to being on camera looking like an idiot. He just… didn’t get around to responding to being challenged, that’s all.
AN: Once upon a time, there was a wave of challenges to pour a bucket of ice cold water over oneself, all in the name of charity. Dylan never responded with a video of his own, but before it was clear that it wouldn’t happen I wrote this, and I never got around to posting it. Blame @derekhaleuniverse for this going up here at all ;)

Dylan grumbles into the phone as he’s tossing shirts into his suitcase.
“D, you’ve been challenged days ago, you’re supposed to do it in 24 hours,” Tyler says on the other end seriously. “And it’s great about the donation,” his voice softens for a moment, “but it’s awareness more than that.”
“I know, Hoech,” Dylan sighs. “But I’m about to go to the press thing in London. I’ll freeze my balls off. You don’t want that to happen, do you?”
There’s a smirk on his face once the words are out of his mouth and it turns into a full-on laugh when he hears the intake of breath over the phone line.
“You could’ve done it before,” Tyler says after a pause. “I’ll…”
“Don’t fucking think about nominating me again!” Dylan interrupts hastily. “I’ll do it. I promise I’ll do it when I get back, okay?”
