4: Love

~Josh's point of view~

I looked at the broken coffee cup and the brown liquid seeping from inside. "T-that can't be true." Tyler muttered. "It is." I said once my eyes left the broken cup and went back up to his. "N-no-," He said, jumping off the counter. "You can't. You barely know me." He said, backing away from me.

"That's true, but I know you a little to at least form a crush, Tyler." I replied, picking of the pieces of the cup. "B-but..." He stuttered. He couldn't seem to process it. I started to clean the coffee. It was so quiet, I had assumed Tyler had left.

I looked at the soaked cloth. Brown and soaked throughly with coffee. I stood up and saw Tyler sitting on the floor. "You're still here?" I asked him. "Yes. I don't know how to get home from here. I could use my phone, but I don't want to leave."

He was starting to process it. "I think I love you too, but I'm scared." He said. "I understand." I replied and walked away to my room; threw the cloth in my hamper and came back out to my living room.

"Are you still going to come to my coffee shop?" He asked me. "Of course, I still need my coffee." I replied. "But you have your own source of coffee." He said getting up, sitting at a chair that was at my counter and pointing to the Keurig.

"Yeah, that may be true, but nobody makes coffee like you, Ty." I replied to him, leaning over my counter. "What'd you just call me?" He asked me. "I called you 'Ty'. Short for Tyler of course." I answered. "Oh, it's.. nice." He replied slowly. "Do you like Disney movies?"

He nodded. "I-I love..them." I raised an eyebrow. "Why'd you answer so slowly?" He shrugged. "It feels.. weird. I'm a twenty-seven year old man and I love Disney and I have no kids." He replied. "I'm twenty-eight. Single with no kids. Although I'm not assuming you're single." Please fall into my trap. I hoped.

"I am single." He replied and I had a victory party inside my head. "Would you like another cup of coffee since you didn't get to finish your last one?" I asked. He looked down at his hands. Put them into fists and then opened them again. "No, thank you Josh. I don't trust the strength of my hands."

I nodded, "What if you just set it on the counter instead of having all the pressure on you. Or on the coffee table." I proposed. "Sure," he shrugged. "Okay," I said turning on the Keurig. It started to shoot brown liquid into the cup again. "Want to watch a Disney movie?" I asked and he nodded.

His face released a smile as bright as a thousand suns, even brighter if possible. "You go pick out what movie you want. I know what you want in your coffee." I said waving him away. He smiled at me and went toward my tv.

I walked over to the couch and set his coffee down on the coffee table. He found a movie but wouldn't let me see the cover. "CLOSE YOUR EYES!" He squealed at me. Disney music started to play. "Can I open them yet?" I asked. "No!" He shouted. I could feel him jump next to me.

"Now?" I asked and he groaned. "Fine, since you're soooooo impatient you can now." He replied, I laughed and then I got a giggle in response. He looked at my arms, I looked down at my arms and then back at him. "What?" I asked. "W-would you mind cuddling?"

I shook my head, "No I don't mind." I replied and he grabbed my torso, laying his head on my lap. "See you're different. Who does this?" I asked him. "I could be a murderer. Why didn't you run." I asked. "You haven't murdered me yet. I didn't run because I trust you. And I do this. I have answered all your questions. Now shhhhh, it's starting."

"This is the story of how I died. Don't worry, this is actually a very fun story. And the truth is, it isn't even mine. This is the story of a girl, named Rapunzel. And it starts, with the sun. Now, once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens." Flynn Rider narrated.

I watched the screen as Tangled started to play. I forgot I even owned this movie. "Tangled?" I whispered to Tyler. "Shhh, you're ruining it Joshy," he whined. "Sorry sorry," I replied. He grabbed the remote and paused it. Looking at me with pouty eyes.

"Are you done moving those beautiful lips of yours? I take my Disney watching time very seriously." He said with a straight face. I started to blush. "Yes, I'm done." I said trying to get the attention off of me. "Good." He said and played the movie. He started to cuddle with me again. My arms around him and his head on my lap.

"And from this small drop of sun, grew a magic, golden, flower." Flynn continued to narrated. "It had the ability to heal the sick, and injured." Mother Gothel entered as Flynn narrated. "Oh, you see that old woman, over there? You might want to remember her. She's kind of important."

Tyler had fallen asleep before the movie was even finished. I had turned the tv off and was making lunch when he woke up. He smelt the food I was making and came to smiling. "Hi Joshy," he said groggily. "Hey Ty," I replied returning the smile. "I know I love you." He said. "But we haven't even dated." He shrugged. "I don't care, I love you."
