Him or Her? // Joshler

Chapter 14: Just Between Us

(josh's POV)

We finish another concert and climb back into the tour bus.

"Meet me in the studio room in the back," Tyler whispers to me as we all get settled into the bus and everyone starts fighting over the shower.

I step into the studio, shut the door, and Tyler quickly grabs my waist and pushes me against a wall. He smashes his lips against mine and slides his hand up my still-sweaty back. I push further into the kiss, begging for more, and Tyler opens his mouth to let his tongue join in. I curl my fingers in his hair and moan softly.

The door suddenly whips open.

"Hey guys-" Mark's jaw drops to the floor upon walking in on Tyler and I making out and we both jump away from each other in shock.

"Mark-" Tyler shoves him into the room and shuts the door.

"What the fuck is-"

"Quiet!" Tyler warns him and begins to beg for his confidentiality, "Please don't say anything to anyone. This is a secret, okay?"

Mark's eyes dart between Tyler and I.

"Are you cheating on Jenna with-"

"No! This is VERY IMPORTANT to stay quiet about: Jenna and I are on a break."

Mark's eyes look like they're going to pop out of his head.

"So you two are, like... dating?"

"Yeah, pretty much," I answer.

"And you're just gonna keep it a secret forever?!"

"No, this is fairly recent. We don't want to tell our families yet, before we know what we want to do about this," I explain.

"Cross your heart and promise that you won't make a peep about this," Tyler demands.

Mark nods and motions an X over his heart.

A week later we have a day off and Tyler turns to me as we walk off of the bus.

"Joshua Dun, would you do me the pleasure of going on a date with me?"

"I would love to," I smile back.

We go to Chipotle and Tyler pays for my food.

"You're so cute, it makes me want to stab you," Tyler says as we eat and talk and laugh together.

"How sweet of you to want to stab me!"

We go to a nearby mall and shop around.

"Let's go to Forever 21," Tyler says.

"Why would we go to Forever 21?" I ask.

"Photobooth!" Tyler smiles excitedly.

"What are we, 13 year old white girls?"

"Shut up, it'll be fun!"

So we go to Forever 21 and head straight to the photobooth. We take four pictures: one with duck faces and peace signs, one with Tyler covering my face with a peace sign, one of me licking Tyler's cheek, and the last one of us kissing.

"Adorable," Tyler grins, grabbing our photo strips and examining the pictures.

For our last destination of the night, we take a quick detour to the tour bus and Tyler grabs something but won't show me what it is, and we sit out on the grass, a good distance from the bus.

We lie down on the grass and Tyler intertwines his fingers in mine.

"I had fun today," I turn away from the night sky to look at Tyler.

"I did too," He smiles back at me.

"Are you planning on showing me whatever it is you brought off of the bus?"

"Right," Tyler says and sits up. He reaches over and pulls out his ukulele.

My heart stops as he sings Can't Help Falling in Love to me. I end the night with jittering butterflies in my stomach.
