Joshua may have been affectionate, but Ethan had never seen him like this.
Oh, yes, Josh was hot, but Ethan always knew that Simon was much fitter, and so much more his type.
Simon had gone out into town with Nick, and had promised Ethan something sweet. In the meantime, Josh had seen his opportunity to flirt just a little with him, as of he did like him.
Though a lot of the time, in videos, he'd make fun of Ethan, he did really like him, a lot. So much so he'd often flirt with Ethan when Simon was out.
"Hey Babe."
Ethan rolled his eyes, before looking at him and sighing.
"Josh I'll tell Simon you're flirting with me again..."
"Oh please," Josh rolled his eyes back, before smiling slightly. "Get a grip. You know you love me."
"As a friend."
"Yeah, that's what I meant," Josh looked down, and Ethan could hear disappointment. "As a friend."
Ethan bit his lip, and sighed. Maybe Josh did like him, but Josh was straight and Ethan was already dating someone, as of so there was no way he was going to do anything sexual or flirtatious in any way.
"Ethan?"
He looked back at Josh, who was slowly running his fingers through his black flock of hair.
"Mm?"
"Is Simon... A jealous type?"
"Heck knows," Ethan muttered, shaking his head. "But I wouldn't dare cheat on him, so don't even think about it."
Josh slumped back down into his chair, and swallowed his tongue. Oh, he was silly, he was so silly for even attempting to pull Ethan in the slightest, because he knew Simon would physically hurt him for even laying a finger on him in any sexual way.
"Can't I at least come and sit with you?"
Ethan smiled softy, and shook his head.
"Oh sure, why not."
He tore his eyes off Josh as he leapt forward to join him on the sofa. He was quick in his move, though, and managed to batter away the hand Josh was trying to slip around him.
"What did I tell you?"
"Oh please, he's not even here!"
"Well Tom is," Ethan snapped, and folded his arms. Tom was Simon's best friend, the secret eighth Sidemen, and he was incredibly loyal to Simon. If he found Josh doing anything peculiar with Ethan, then he was bound to tell Simon. "And I don't want to betray them both."
Josh nodded, and slumped on one side of the sofa, curling into a little ball so that he was as far away from Ethan as he could be.
"Alright, you go do that... I'll just sit over here."
A few minutes of silence passed, and Ethan began to feel a little... Lonely. He was never good on his own, because he'd often talk to himself, and the conversations he had were a little bit embarrassing.
He turned his eyes to Josh, who hadn't looked back since he'd gone there. Oh he looked so feeble in his ball, and Ethan... Yes, he did want to hug him.
Badly, too.
Slowly, he shuffled over to Josh, lying a finger on his shoulder. Ethan saw him wiggle, but couldn't actually hear anything. No, Josh was not crying over something little like this, but he was trying to make Ethan feel guilty.
Ethan was fully aware of this. But still fell for it.
"Oh Josh, come on..." Ethan lay his head on Josh's back and sighed softly. "Look back at me..."
Josh lifted his head slowly, and Ethan watched him sigh, before looking over to him.
"Oh Joshua..."
Ethan slipped his hands under his stomach, holding Josh close into his lap.
"Hey hey hey, Josh..."
Josh smiled softly, moving his hands to lock them with Ethan's.
"Oh, Ethan please... I-I'm so sorry..."
"Sorry about what?"
"Sorry that I like you like this..."
Ethan hummed softly, rubbing his head on Josh's back softly.
"Don't worry about it..." Ethan whispered, slowly moving his hands across Josh's waist line, and breathing hard of Josh's back. No, he really didn't want to cheat on Simon in anyway, and so he'd have to be extremely careful.
"But Ethan, Simon and Nick will be back soon..."
"Shh... It's alright." Ethan closed his eyes and smiled to himself. "I know what I'm doing."
---
Ethan opened his eyes slowly, meeting the emerald eyes of someone he knew well.
He felt warm, and felt a mattress beneath his back, one he knew well. From his memory, he knew he was lay on Simon's bed, because he recognised the scent of the room and the feel of the bed.
"W-what happened?"
Simon sat down on the bed side next to Ethan, who slowly sat up to look at him.
"We found you asleep on the sofa. Josh told us you'd dropped off soon after we'd left."
Ethan blinked, suddenly remembering exactly what happened. Oh Josh, what a cover up.
"Oh." Ethan tried not to say much. Simon knew when he was lying, and so it was probably best to remain silent.
"It's alright, I'm home."
Ethan smiled up at him, who leaned in and gently kissed his nose.
"I've got you something, downstairs. Follow me Sweetheart."
Simon held out his hand to Ethan, who clutched onto it, smiling softly at him.
Ethan followed behind Simon as he pushed the door open and made his way to the stairs. He looked right, into Josh's room, spotting Josh in the door way.
Josh winked, and Ethan smiled, before he followed Simon down the stairs.-Behzerkaa is my side ship for if Emon goes wrong. Does anyone else ship Behzerkaa? I'd also take note of Tom because he's going to appear a lot more.-
