why'd you come? // joshler

chapter fourteen

(a.n. / because i was listening to arctic monkeys while writing this so i thought i would put a random song)

Tyler woke up with the biggest smile on his face. he couldn't stop thinking about Josh, his lips, his voice. Tyler loved Josh's voice. it was just so incredibly calming, he could listen to Josh talking for days and feel completely safe and at home.

he read Josh's texts, and thought that he really wanted to see him as soon as possible, too. he loved his kisses, his hugs, the sweet words he said. it all seemed like a fairytale, it was almost too beautiful to be real.

Tyler heard Patrick's familiar knock on the door of his house, so he ran downstairs and opened the door for his best friend.

Patrick kind of looked mad, as he said: "where the hell were you yesterday?".

Tyler remembered. two days before, Patrick's date with Pete had happened, and Tyler had promised he would have stayed home the day after the date, because Patrick wanted to come over and talk about it, as far as he knew. Tyler couldn't help but laugh as Patrick's face turned red.

"i am so mad at you!! i wanted to talk to you so much, and you weren't even available on your phone. where the hell were you? oh my god, i am not going to kill you just because i'm too happy to do it".

"hey, Trick, calm down, i'll tell you later. you wanna tell me how your date with Pete was now, right?"

Patrick giggled. "OH MY GOD, absolutely".

"so, we were out and you know, we went to dinner and - oh my god, let me tell you that he is incredibly hot even while eating a slice of pizza and oh my god, he is just so handsome. and guess what? HE HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE PERSONALITY!! i swear, he's so outgoing, he loves what he believes in, he stands up for his rights, ah, he would be such a perfect boyfriend for me." Tyler started laughing. 

"and when we went to the cinema, he put his arm around my chest, and we stayed like that for the whole film. i asked him if he was uncomfortable, and he said that he felt very good, and he smiled and caressed my cheeks and shit like that, and it was probably the best night of my life. and, when i thought that it couldn't get better..."

Tyler whispered, "he kissed you".

Patrick giggled again. "well, i followed your example and i kissed him first, and he wasn't a bastard, so he kissed back, and he said that we wants to keep seeing me. like, bro, your best friend is dating a guy! i'm so happy, i literally like Pete so much".

Tyler simply smiled.

"so, where were you yesterday, Joseph?".

"it was Josh's birthday, so-".

"please, tell me that you two hooked up or something".

"what?", Tyler looked at Patrick like he had just seen a ghost; Trick started laughing, and said, "i was just kidding, calm down".

"i had to give him my birthday present, i just wanted to go to the mall and leave it there, bt he wasn't working, so he asked me if we could meet at the park, and i said yes".

"and did something happen between you two? i mean, is everything okay or did you throw the gift at him or something and ran away?".

"when i arrived, he kissed me, and said that he likes me but didn't expect the kiss the other day, so yeah, he didn't know how to act". Tyler did a sort of noise that definitely sounded like a giggle.

"i'm happy he could work it out, because if he had left you heart broken, i would have gone and punched him in his fucking bookshop".

"it would have been my fault, anyways".

"stop blaming yourself. so, now you have a boyfriend?", Patrick took his eyes off his friend while he was looking for something to eat in the fridge.

Tyler looked confused. "just because we kissed it doesn't mean that we're boyfriends. it doesn't even mean that we are dating, as far as i know".

"it does mean that you are dating, but whatever".

the two chatted for a bit, but then patrick left, leaving the friend alone.
