chapter 7

"hey sleepyhead," tyler snickered as he hopped into the back of the van. josh groaned as he slowly moved his head forward.

"don't ever lean against a truck on the bumpy highway," he said quietly, shaking his head slightly and pinching the bridge of his nose. tyler only chuckled, hugging josh.

"don't worry, since we're best friends yourgraines are ourgraines," he explained in an attempt to cheer him up. josh laughed lowly, leaning a little too much into the hug to be considered friendly. mark jumped up into the van suddenly, startling the both of them.

"cool, i'm cursing the government and all for having so many potholes, but you're paying hourly for the van," he shrugged, grabbing a box to try and help out. blushing, tyler pulled away from their embrace and picked up both of the suitcases, carefully stepping out of the van and into the tall apartment complex. josh watched him almost hungrily, grasping a couple light boxes and following suit.

after a while, all the boxes were in the living room, scattered about. it was late evening by then, and both the boys were exhausted.

"wanna crash on the floor?" josh suddenly blurted out, rubbing his eyes. tyler shrugged, ripping open a parcel near him to grab out a blanket and two pillows. he threw one to josh, placing the other on the ground for him. throwing off his shoes and taking off his coat and beanie, he curled up, waiting for josh. suddenly realizing they were sharing a blanket, josh threw off all his clothes but his shirt and skinny jeans, tossing his pillow next to tyler's and laying next to him. the right corner of the blanket was given to josh, allowing him to wrap it around his backside comfortably.

"love you night tyler," he hummed, keeping his distance still. tyler just groaned in response, pulling josh's arms tightly around him. unused to the sudden close contact, josh inhaled sharply. tyler was shuffling around slightly still, getting comfortable. unfortunately, this involved him moving his butt. repeatedly. against josh. he gulped and tried to ignore the growing uncomfortableness coming from down there. tyler finally decided to reply.

"love you too man."
