josh's pov:

i woke up on saturday morning with a sleeping tyler curled up in my arms. he had his head on my chest and our legs were intertwined. i took this opportunity to really look at him. tyler was breathing steadily, full lips slightly open. he had these super long eyelashes and he had one pink nailed hand on my shoulder. tyler's cheeks were so chubby and soft, i poked them.

'beautiful,' i whispered.

as i said this his eyes slowly fluttered open.

'good morning, tyler.'

'morning,' he muttered.

'did you dream about me?' he went red.

'maybe...'

'what happened?'

'it's... embarrassing.' i was smiling.

'what happened, baby boy?' he giggled at the name.

'well.. you were drumming, and i sat on your lap. we kissed.' he buried his face in my shoulder.

'i like that.'

tyler smiled smugly.

'i actually have a drum kit in my basement. i tried to learn but i'm too uncoordinated. do you want to play?'

'are you sure? will your parents get mad?' this was exciting.

'no, they like the noise. let me get dressed.'

tyler grabbed some clothes and went into his bathroom. he came out half an hour later wearing some denim shorts, a white t-shirt with the words 'pick flowers, not fights.' over that he had a floral robe, and was he wearing makeup?

'come on, joshy!' he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of his bedroom, down the stairs.

inside tyler's basement was paradise. there was a red sjc drum kit in the corner, and ty had three ukuleles along the walls. he also had a bass guitar, and a piano in the middle of the room.

'wow ty, this is amazing.' i sat down behind the drums.

'thank my parents, they're in the music industry.'

tyler sat down behind the piano.

'do you wanna hear what i was singing last night?' his voice shook.

'are you sure ty? you don't have to. i don't mind.' he blushed.

'believe me, i want to. this is called oh ms believer.'
