Home Planet // Joshler

Part 10

I'm feelin this fic rn guys.

The four men exited the Imprisonment Ward without any question, thanks to Brendon's authoritative presence.

Josh held tightly onto Tyler's hand almost as if he were to let go it would be the end of the world.

"Tyler there are only three Gliders.." Josh mumbled as they approached the small vehicles.

Tyler turned to Josh with a grin.
"So. You can sit behind me."

Josh shied away from the thought of his body pressed firmly against Tyler's in such a public place. But there was no other option.

Josh waited for Tyler to straddle the piece of machinery and grip the handle bars. He looked to Josh and waited.
"Comin trouble maker?"

Josh chuckled lightly. He didn't know how he was going to keep his extremities from stirring on this very bumpy ride back to the estate but he would try his hardest, ironically.

He wrapped his arms around Tyler's middle as the engine roared to life.

Brendon and Patrick followed suit onto the grey rocky path as Tyler took the lead. Josh rested his cheek on Tyler's shoulder and let the cool wind blow through his hair.

As opposed to the tight confines of the cold dark prison cell he'd just been in, Josh suddenly felt so alive. Partially because the fresh cold air of the planet he once called home did him good, and partially because the warmth of Tyler's body pressed to his was the only comfort he'd ever need.

They soon reached the estate and killed their engines. The guards nodded as Tyler snapped for them to come tend to the Gliders.

Josh felt a small curious twinge in the pit of his stomach whenever Tyler would use his authority like that.

They walked through the halls to Tyler's office.

"We have some things to discuss." He explained to Brendon and Patrick.

He entered the office and Brendon closed the door behind them.

"If Patrick is to take my place there is going to be a shift of command before I leave."

Josh felt a little awkward and out of place and Tyler sensed that. He pulled a chair next to his behind his desk and pulled Josh down to sit next to him, not letting his hand go and running circles over the top. Josh's nerves settled and Brendon and Patrick took a seat in front of the desk.

"Patrick you will be handed my duties, however I want you to continue to be the head of the Research and Medication Ward. For this to happen you will have to delegate some of your responsibilities." He looked to Brendon.

"This is where you come in. Brendon you will be given the position of second in command. All this means is that you will be the one that is delegated responsibilities. This way you both keep your positions but you'll also share the responsibility of governing the planet. This is a big responsibility but I trust you two. You've proven yourselves since we were 18 years old. Do you both understand what I have told you?"

"Affirmative." Brendon replied.

"Yes, sir." Patrick added.

"Good." Tyler looked to Josh now.
"Josh I'm going to need your help packing my things. Can you do that, love?"

"Of course, Ty." He smiled.

Tyler smiled back and stood up.
"Alright. We leave tonight then."

Patrick looked dejected.
"Y-you will come back though won't you? I mean just to visit."

"Of course. I have to check on you and black suit here and make sure you aren't ruining everything." He laughed.

"Oh please." Brendon rolled his eyes and a grin began to grace his lips.
"I was born for this."

Tyler and Josh spent all the afternoon packing his things and reminiscing on their childhood together. Once everything was packed and the distant sun had set, they decided to walk the estate halls one last time together before they left.

The two boys laced their finger together and gently swung their hands as they passed paintings in the long hall that led to the kitchen.

"Ty remember when we used to sneak down this hall at night to go steal candy?"

"Oh yeah! You'd always be scared to get caught but I would just tell you I wasn't allowed to be in trouble because I was the prince."

"And then you'd hold my hand and I felt better instantly." Josh beamed at Tyler.

They reached the kitchen and Tyler flinched when he saw the dark mark that streaked the perfect white floor.

That night when he had seen his ability for the first time, the force field brought a pan crashing to the ground by Josh's trembling frame.

The mark was an ugly reminder of all the years he'd had to spend without Josh.

Josh felt him flinch and gripped his hand tighter.
"Hey the past is behind us Ty. Look where we are now."

He gazed at Josh.
"I love you."

"I love you too, Ty." He leaned in and kissed the taller boy gently.

"I also love the chip out of the counter that you left when you tried to play with my sticks." The boys erupted into a fit of laughter.

"Yeah I suppose you were always better with your hands than I was."

Josh blushed at the innuendo that Tyler clearly didn't realize he'd made as usual.

Seeing Tyler like this was truly a beautiful sight. He could definitely get used to it.

After the Melee was packed full of the belongings Tyler decided to keep (which was not much), the boys exchanged goodbyes with Patrick and Brendon.

He wished them well and reassured them that they would do a fantastic job governing the planet.

Josh and Tyler boarded the ship, Josh buckling himself excitedly in as Tyler giggled at him.
"I almost forgot you have never left Aptos by way of your own transportation."

"Nope. The authorities dragged me out the one time."

"Well it's just gunna be me and you for the next few days Joshua."

"I'm not complaining."

Tyler waved to Patrick as the ship pulled out of the hangar and it wasn't long until they were surrounded by distant stars and deep space.

"So," Tyler flipped on auto pilot and turned his chair to Josh.
"What do you wanna do?"
