Josh's POV

I loved summer more then anything now that Tyler has come along. Today Tyler suggested we go swimming at his dad's house and I wasn't one for swimming. But Tyler's manipulative puppy eyes instantly caused my heart to melt. I had already allowed him to have me without a shirt but making me go swimming is impossible.

"Can I go inside now? It's too hot." I whined. Currently I was sitting in a white lounge chair watching Tyler apply sunscreen. He lifted up his sunglasses, that he looked really hot in might I add, and shot me his signature 'Are you kidding me right now' looks. I smiled and put my hands up in defeat causing him to smile too. His mean look to smile made me laugh uncontrollably and before I knew it he dragged the lounge chair into the pool.

"Is it still hot Jishiwa?" He laughed uncontrollably as I play glared at him. He jumped in and popped up beside me smiling. As if he could get away with dumping me in the water. I don't think so.

I splashed water at him resulting in him doing the same. Soon it became a splashing war that lasted a few minutes before he demanded I stop by saying 'Joshy please stop' while giggling. Cutest thing ever, he's never called me Joshy before and I adored that.

As he swam over to me I noticed his sunglasses were tilted in the silliest way. He made it over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist as I wound my arms around his neck resting my head on his shoulder. We stood that way quiet as the birds in the trees around us chirped peacefully.

Suddenly he dunked both of us underwater and pulled me by my sides to kiss him. Though I can tell it didn't go as he planned since we both resurfaced coughing.

"I guess I should stop trying to be romantic." He says mid cough. I giggled at him then kissed his cheek.

"You're an idiot but my idiot."

"Wow how nice of you." he replied.

"Oh hush you know I meant well." I kissed him as I finished and it eventually turned into a make out session.

I pull back and we look into each others eyes. "I love you Tyler." I smile. I know I have loved him for awhile I have just been waiting for the right time to tell him. He looks at my and smiles as his cheeks turn pink. "I love you too Josh." We kiss each other again.

Tyler's POV

~a few days later~

It's really strange being happy when all your life you've been like yanno not happy. It's great but I feel like it's going to be short lived as I stare at Josh while he sleeps. I put the thoughts aside when Josh scrunches his nose in his sleep. God he's adorable. I never want to be apart from him, he's basically happiness for me.

I'm glad no one else gets to see Josh sleep and how peaceful he looks attached to my shoulder with his leg draped over mine. His hair was messy sticking up in every direction and it was really sexy aside from his slightly ajar mouth which was more cute then sexy. I notice how sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night from being too hot; when he's sleeping my name will leave his lips occasionally.

I knew it was still early since the moon radiated off of his slightly tan skin. I adjusted my head and let myself fall asleep with the lullaby of Josh's quiet snore.

I woke up with Josh gone and his spot cold. I frowned. But then the smell of something burning filled my nostrils and my sadness was washed over with fear. I shot out of bed and ran downstairs only to see Josh holding a single burnt pancake in his hand with his mouth full. I breathed out in relief knowing he was okay and nothing was on fire
