word count: 359

joshua sits across from me at our dining table. 

"yes?" i ask, pushing my laptop down and look at his pretty face.

"i miss you."

"i stopped talking four minutes ago."

"well keep talking. i miss you."

"i have to do inventory. you're lucky matty's letting me do it at home."

"can't we do something fun?" he groans.

"not today, i have to work." i reply, pushing the laptop back open.

"fine."

i type away at the computer. i can feel him watching me and i feel bad that he's so bored. but i have to work. 

"if you're so bored, you can go watch tv, j. you don't have to watch me work."

he doesn't answer so i suspect he's playing on his phone or he left and went to play on his taptop too.

-

i finally finish calculating all the inventory and shut my laptop off. i lay the laptop down and look at his face. 

he's staring at me.

"how long have you been staring at me?"

"since you started working."

"i thought you did something else?"

"nope. been here the whole time."

"did you not hear me then?"

"hear what?"

i stare into his eyes and watch him as he's watching me.

"never mind, j."

"okay."

"why were you watching me though? i bet i was so boring to watch."

"no. i just watched you and everything you do."

"like what?"

"how you bite your lips when you're focused, or push your hand onto your cheek when you're thinking. and your tongue comes a little out of your mouth when you're doing math," he says and then closes his eyes.

"what are you doing?"

"it's complete darkness, i can't see you and yet i know you're blushing."

"no."

he opens his eyes, "you're literally blushing, ty."

"okay be quiet. you just always know so much about me."

"you know loads about me too."

"i know."

"i wanna be so married to you, already."

"i'm sorry we're gay middle class men and are broke as fuck."

"me too."

"kiss me."

he leans over the table and over my laptop and places his left fingers on my neck and his right hand in my hair and pushes me closer to him. 

"i love you."

"i love you more."

"you get to win. just this once, because i love you."

"mmm. okay," he smiles at me.

a/n: okay i lied
