The Truth - Joshler fanfiction

The longer you're in Love

Josh's POV

We just finished another show and I was done with everything. I lay down in our dressing room, staring holes into the ceiling as I looked over to Tyler. He was sitting in a chair, shirless with his head titled back and his mouth slightly open, breathing calmly.

I gulped. This couldn't be true. He looked so gorgeous in everything he did. He was always kind, listened even if he wasn't interested and never sweared, which was the most unbelievable part about him.

I couldn't stand it any longer and decided to wonder off a bit, checking out the city and trying to forget about this beautiful and special human being, called Tyler Joseph, who was making my feelings go crazy and my mind go mad.

"Hey, Tyler." I said, waiting for him to response. "Yeah?" He answred in a hoarse voice, forcing his head in my direction. "I'm going for a walk, cooling down a bit." He smiled and waved me off. "Okay, fine, but be careful."

Another reason why I loved him. He always cared so much about me. Asking me if I was okay 300 times a day. "Will be." I mumbled, standing up in a small groan of agony, before wandering off to take a fast shower. I just hopped under with a little bit of cleaning, before drying and putting on clothes.

I felt delighted as my body collided with the cool night air, my head immediately feeling better. I walked a couple of meters 'till a voice stopped my tracks. "Josh! Hold up, I'm coming with you." Great. I was trying to forget him and he easyly decides to just come with me?

"Oh, yeah okay." I fake-smiled. I didn't hate the idea of him coming with me, but I really wanted to be alone right now.

We walked in silence next to each other as I tried to not look at him. I always fixed my eyes on the calming city lights, watching the cars move in the distance as I grew more nervous with every second passing. I have to tell him. But how? How do you explain your best friend that you've been in love with him since....I don't know?

We wandered over a huge bridge as I distracted myself with taking pictures of the city and mindlessly staring into the water below us. "The city is beautiful, right?" Tyler cut through my thoughts with his question.

"Y-yeah." I stumbled over my words, not really knowing what to say. "U-uhm, Tyler." I said, avoiding his eyes. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see him looking at me with a slight concerned look on his face.

"Hm? What's wrong?" He asked, putting a hand on my shoulder. We continued walking as I stared at my feet moving below me. "How did you know that Jenna is....the one?" Tyler looked confused, but still answered with a smile. Probably at the thought of her.

"Y'know, I just knew it. It's that feeling that you get when you look at the person. You just see them and you know that you want to live with the person until the end of your life and that you would do eveything for this one special human being that you adore."

He was exactly describing what I was feeling.....just towards him and not another person. It was always him and I don't know how he'll react if I tell him. Would he kick me out of the band? Like, for real and not as a joke? Would he hate me? Will he never want to talk to me again?

It didn't matter how scared I was - I had to do it.

"Wow, it's stunning how much you love her." I stated, still staring at my feet. We found some metal benches and Tyler sat down on one. With his butt on the back of the bench and his feet on it. He was so damn cute.

I stood next to him, supporting my weight on the white railing with my arm. "Tyler...." I started, directly looking at him. He returned the look with something questioning and mysterious in his eyes. "What is it? You're not really yourself since the show. Are you okay?" He asked, ruffling a hand through his soft chocolate hair.

"Tyler, I don't really know how to tell you this..." I said, stepping a bit closer as my heart beat sped up dramatically. I really was about to do this? Fine then.

"Josh, you're scaring me. What's wrong?" I inhaled deeply, taking a solid look at him. "Everything you just told me about how you feel for Jenna....is exactly the way....exactly the way I feel about you." I pushed the words out between my teeth, still looking at him to catch a change in his expression.

"To make it short....I love you, Tyler. I know that you love Jenna with all your heart, but I never loved someone that much and so deeply as I love you." I exhaled in relieve, even if I knew that this wasn't over.

Tyler stared at me with a blank expression. I couldn't make out what he was feeling nor thinking. This were probably the hardest 2 minutes in my whole life.

I heard him gulp harshly as he stood up and I feared that he would go and just simply leave me here. But he didn't, instead of that he stood up and spoke up.

"Josh, it's fine. Feelings are feelings and you can't change them. I was thinking the same thing, to be honest. It isn't going really well between me and Jenna, which is probably my fault, because I started to feeling something for you. The same feeling I had for Jenna once, which is now gone."

My jaw dropped. What in heaven just happened? Did Tyler just told me that he was feeling the same way I did?

"Y-you mean...?" I couldn't speak further, my mind went blank. Tyler knew what I meant and nodded with a light smile on his face. "I'm happy you told me first, Josh. I couldn't have done it on my own."

I let out a shaky breath, smiling weakly as I stepped closer. "Sooo, what do you wanna do now? Now that you know what I am feeling for you" Tyler asked with a sly smirk in his voice.

I gulped as I came even closer, putting my arms carefully around his waist as I pulled him close, gently connecting my lips with his for the first time.

I could've bursted out in happyness. I could've giggled like a little school girl, but I was to fixed on Tyler's soft lips against mine. It was perfect.

We disconnected and Tyler smiled brightly at me, his eyes shining beautifully. "I love you, Josh." I laughed out of happyness, pressing him tightly against me. "I love you even more, Tyler." I whispered, smiling to myself.

After remaining in this position for a minute or so, Tyler tipped my arm. "Josh.....air." I chuckled, releasing him from my grip. He smiled, kissing my cheek, before pulling me into the direction we came from.

"Come on, let's go back."
