Gay/ Joshler

7.

We both agree to pick up Tyler from Jenna's. "Here's the AUX cord" I say passing it to her, I'm trying to make her feel better at any cost right now. I remember when we was younger, I'd make her feel better by giving her a Pokemon card of mine, usually one which seemed cute to her since she never understood how they worked. But now it's taking her out for food and passing her the aux cord.

"Hey Josh" she pipes up, "Remember the time mom caught us playing with dirt in the back yard? And she made us sit in the bath for an hour?" causing us to both break down in laughter. "Yeah! And-and when I pulled off your barbies head and you threw her toy car at my nose and made it bleed?" I recall between chuckles, making us laugh even more. All these memories make me realise how precious family is. I mean, I've always known how important family is but we never recall good times, like this. The car is now silent with faint music playing in the back ground.

I catch a glimpse of her leaning against the window staring out of it aimlessly. Something is up, I can feel it between us. "Ashley, you know I love you, right?" I blurt out. Now probably isn't the time for a lovey sibling moment heading to Taco Bell but I need to get this off my chest. "Yeah I know" she glances back at me and smiles. I sigh in a mix of being guilty and upset, "no I mean like I'm sorry for never being the cool brother your friends like, or who you can talk to about things. Look, when was the last time we laughed like that together?". She looks down in her lap and I feel a pang of anxiety and guilt run through my whole body. "You've changed Josh. And so have I!" She shifts so she's facing towards me, "I know we're not as close as we would perhaps like to be, or how I used to throw things at you when you made me mad." We both giggle slightly before she carries on; "I love you Joshua. You're my favourite big brother." She leans over to kiss me on the cheek making me flush red.
"Hey coming to think of it, that's something I could do to my boyfriend when he makes me mad." She says making me confused "what's that?" "throw a toy car at their head" she looks at me with a smirk and we both burst out laughing again.

"Tacooo bell!!" Tyler said exclaims jumping up and down, "il never miss this smell" he adds whilst walking towards the entrance. "What, the smell of grease and beef?" Ashley adds sarcastically and we all chuckle. "Well, you're not complaining Ash!" I turn to her tapping the end of her nose teasing her which leads to Tyler joining in with 'ooo's and 'aah's . She turns to me and playfully jabs my arm and grins at me, this is the sister I like.

Once we order, we sit down at a four seater table,with Tyler sat next to Ashley and me opposite them. I finish my taco as she explains to Tyler the whole situation of her boyfriend and her, he looks so pure and innocent when he's listening and concentrating, he even has his chair facing her. I watch them both talk to each other in her own world as Tyler aimlessly eats his burrito and gets some cheese on his face. He doesn't even notice bless his heart.

Tyler's pov:
"Tyler!" Josh calls my name and clicks his fingers to grab my attention, "Hmm?" I mumble through a mouthful of burrito and he raises an eyebrow at me, to signal for me to swallow my food then talk to him, which I immediately do. "Sorry, pardon?" I correct myself and Josh's stern face turns back to normal. Before he says anything else, he leans across the table and wipes my face with a napkin. "How did you manage to get cheese there, Tyler?" He asks me in a patronising tone.

"Speak of the devil". Two boys walk in, one with blonde quiffy hair and the other wearing a baseball hat back to front. Who even wears hats like that anymore!? Ashley puts both hands up to the side of her face and keeps her head down, does she know them?

"Ash, what's up?" Josh asks and puts a hand on her shoulder before she shrugs it off, "Shh!" but she hushes Josh, "it's him..."

Josh's pov:
Me and Tyler exchange looks. I hope we're both thinking the same thing. "Kill him!" , "Flirt with her!" me and Tyler both say in unison then go wide eyed at each other, okay, we wasn't thinking the same thing. But my idea was more safe so we'll stick with that. "Flirt with Ashley! Make him jealous!" but neither approve since I hear chimes of 'Gross' and 'Ew's come from them. "I don't swing that way!" explains Tyler and Ashley rants on about how that's weird.

"Just wrap your arm around her, dude!" I nudge Tyler's shoulder and they both look at each other as if they're looking at something they pulled from a river. Tyler snakes his lanky arm around Ashley's shoulder and they both cringe. Tyler looks out the window trying not to seem awkward ."This reminds me of the time with Mel on the swings".
