Nomadic / Joshler

prologue

Josh and Tyler, the best of friends taking a late night walk through the park. It was cold and damp but that didn't seem to matter. Josh had lit a cigarette, the boys passing it between each other taking a drag before passing it back. When it was close to the end, Josh dropped it and placed his foot over it, crushing it to the ground. Tyler's hand reached for Josh's, sliding down his wrist until their fingers came together in a tight grip. They kept walking, wordless and quiet with the exception of heavy steps and breaths. Josh ran his thumb gingerly over Tyler's knuckles, sighing in content.
Tyler gasped from next to him.

"What is it?" Josh mumbled, furrowing his eyebrows.

"It's a pond" Tyler replied, breathy and almost silent. He let go of Josh's hand and jogged over, crouching down to touch the icy water. "Tyler don't, you'll get sick again" Josh frowned.

Tyler removed his fingers from the pond and wiped them on his jeans, dampening them ever so slightly "Josh please, it looks so beautiful".

Josh glanced at the pond, the reflection of the moon bouncing off of it. It did look pretty. "The water is dirty; I'll take you somewhere else".

Tyler smiled, standing up and travelling back over to Josh, joining their hands again. They kept moving, once again in silence.

Josh stopped outside of a wire fence, a pool glowing a dull blue on the other side. He smirked as he looked over at his best friend who was staring in awe. Josh pulled up a section of the fence, previously used by others to sneak into the pool, for Tyler to crawl under. He followed in after, their faces dimly lit by the lights in the pool. Tyler began quickly peeling off each article of clothing, kicking off his shoes until he was just in his boxers. Josh repeated the action, pulling off his shirt and jeans, kicking his shoes off and placing everything next to the pile of Tyler's belongings.

Tyler was the first to jump in, no hesitation when he leapt off of the side of the pool and into the cold water. When he surfaced, he motioned Josh to jump in too, so he did. Josh didn't surface however. He just opened his eyes and looked around for Tyler's body and when he found it, he swam forward and tugged him under taking him by surprise. When Tyler was underneath the water's surface, he turned to look at Josh, smiling and watching bubbles emerge from his mouth.

They stayed there for as long as they could, staring at each other through the freezing water until they couldn't hold their breath any longer. When they returned to the surface Tyler's lips were cold and blue and going numb. Josh could barely feel his own face as he reached out and touched Tyler's which caused a deep blush to set and heat his face up again.

"Joshie, my lips are cold" Tyler pouted.

"What do you want me to do about it?" Josh chuckled.

Tyler moved closer, his face inches from Josh's. "Warm them up for me" he smiled gently and looked at Josh's (C MAJOR) lips.

"Tyler I-" he was cut off when Tyler pressed his lips against Josh's, catching him off guard. Tyler's hands moved to cup Joshua's face, fingers placed delicately to his jaw while Josh hesitantly moved his hands to Tyler's bare hips, digging his fingers into his hip bones as Tyler began to move his mouth against his. Although unsure at first, Josh soon melted into the kiss, heat slowly returning to both of them as they pressed their bodies together. Tyler's hands draped over Josh's shoulders and joining at the back of his neck, Josh's arms wrapped around Tyler's waist. God knows how long they had been there until they heard a voice and saw the light of a torch shine over them.

"Hey! You can't be in here!"

They quickly pulled apart and rushed out of the pool over to the fence, heavy footsteps chasing after them as they picked their clothes up on the way. "Josh" Tyler squeaked as he tried to find the opening at the bottom of the fence. "There's no time" Josh laughed as he launched Tyler over the fence and jumped over himself, the security guard attempting to grab at Josh. The two nearly naked boys laughed as they ran through the trees and away from the path to avoid getting caught. When they stopped to get dressed again, Tyler's face dropped and was graced with pure horror. "Josh"

"What?" he replied, looking up and stepping into his jeans, clinging to his wet skin.

"I dropped my pants, I can't find them" Tyler cried out.

Josh burst into a fit of laughter, zipping his jeans and bending over, gasping for air. (I'm listening to TB saga so I'm getting distracted lmao my bad)

Tyler didn't think it was humorous as he smacked Josh's arm and then pulled his black hoodie back on, lacking pants. Josh stopped laughing, with tears in his eyes he wiped them away, still smiling and tugged his shirt down to cover more of his wet skin "Put your socks on and shut up".

Walking down the street was a nightmare for Tyler, the occasional car would honk at the boy walking with everything but pants on. His bare legs quickly growing cold and going numb. "Jishwa, I can't feel my legs, carry me" he whined but Josh would laugh and ignore his request until he couldn't handle it any longer.

"Josh, you're the worst. You take me swimming and then when I lose my pants you don't even carry me" He pouted and crossed his arms, ignoring yet another car that honked at him and the driver yelling out "Lookin' good sweet cheeks!"

Josh grimaced and picked Tyler up bridal style, his knees and head resting against the man's chest. "Now my ass is even more on display to everyone" Tyler growled and made Josh sigh. "I'm not Jesus sweetheart, I can't just make pants magically appear" Josh chuckled and Tyler blushed at the nickname.

"Just be thankful you have everything else and shoes" Josh pointed out.

Tyler grumbled but partially pulled his hood over his face while clinging onto Josh.

As they neared Tyler's house, his face softened. "Josh, I don't want to go home tonight" he whispered so quietly that Josh couldn't hear him and when he began walking up Tyler's drive way, he whimpered. "Tyler?" Josh asked, confused. "I said I don't want to go home" he choked on his words and tears pooled his eyes, Josh shushing him. "That's alright princess, you can spend the night at my house. I just don't want you getting cold."

Josh set Tyler down and took his hand but the porch light of Tyler's house flickered a couple times and the door began to open. "Run" Tyler whispered and held tightly onto Josh's hand while sprinting forward, dragging him behind.

When they reached Joshua's house, they ran up the steps and swung the door open. Tyler was met with Josh's brother, Jordan. "Where are your pants?" he quirked an eyebrow. "Long story bud" Josh ruffled Jordan's hair and pulled Tyler behind him, both of them struggling to catch their breath. They ran upstairs and into Josh's room, Tyler flicking the light on as Josh searched for a clean pair of pants and boxers for the both of them. He pulled out a clean pair of batman pyjama pants for Tyler and a clean pair of boxers and then red pyjama pants for himself along with a pair of grey boxers. They got changed and threw the dirty clothes to the side, climbing into Josh's bed, snunggling up together and allowing themselves to being taken by sleep.
