In Love With A Stripper (Joshler)

>28<

Mark gave Tyler the rest of that week off to recover, but he still expected him back, to which Josh thought was bullshit, but kept his cool.

At the moment, Tyler was at home sleeping, while Josh went to the gym to blow off steam. It wasn't really normal for Josh to go to the gym, but he needed something to distract his mind for a while.

"Josh?"

Josh sighed and stood up, putting on a smile. "Oh, hey Frank."

"Wow, I didn't know you came to this gym."

"Actually, I'm just here for today. Just trying to calm myself down."

"Oh really. What happened?"

Josh didn't mean to, but it just came out. He was just in the moment. "My boyfriend was attacked at the strip club."

Frank looked very surprised. "Your boyfriend? He works at a-"

"Yeah, I know, but he's a really good guy."

Frank looked down at his phone and then back to Josh. "I'm really sorry about your boyfriend. I have to go, but I'll talk to you later. Maybe we can go on a double date."

"Um, yeah sure." Josh lied.

"Alright, I'll text you later."

Frank got up and left, leaving Josh to continue what he was doing.

"Hey, where did you go Frank?"

Frank smiled and put his arm around his boyfriend. "Josh is here. His boyfriend was attacked at a strip club by a customer. Poor thing."

"His boyfriend?" Gerard asked very loudly, causing attention to them.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"Oh uh, just wondering."

"Tyler?" Josh walked through the front door with both hands full.

Tyler came bouncing down the stair, wearing nothing but a pair of boxers. "Hey Josh!"

"I got you your favorite." Josh presented a pumpkin spice milkshake.

Tyler gasped and took the shake. "Thank you!"

Josh wrapped his arm around Tyler's waist and pulled him toward him. "God, sorry If I smell bad. I'm all sweaty."

"Oh it's fine." Tyler ran his hand up under Josh's tank top. "I think it's sexy."

"Oh really?" Tyler winked. "Dork."

Tyler huffed when Josh walked away toward the stairs leading downstairs.

"Where do you think you're going."

"Well, this is my house after all and if you must know, I'm going downstairs."

Tyler rolled his eyes and followed Josh.

"You'll never guess who I ran into at the gym."

"Who? My mom?" Tyler chuckled.

"Actually no. I ran into Frank, well it was more like he ran into me."

"Was-was Gerard there?"

Josh shrugged and walked across the carpet to his prized possession, besides Tyler of course.

"Oh god, I'm leaving. I don't want my ears to bleed." Tyler joked.

"Shut up you love it." Josh laughed and pecked Tyler's lips and watched him walk back upstairs.
