pacify her ➳ joshler

13. v

tyler walked into the front door of his house, not thinking twice about what happened yesterday. that was until the familiar smell of food cooking came from the kitchen, letting him know his mother was home.

he let out a heavy sigh, placing his backpack down on the ground while slipping off his shoes. he didn't want to approach his mom just yet but he had no choice.

tyler began walking in the kitchen, his sock-covered feet tapping against the linoleum floor. he stood in the middle of the kitchen for a second before clearing his throat to make himself known.

his mother jumped turning around to reveal tyler leaned against the isle, cracking a slight smile. "oh, hi hunny." kelly spun back around to finish emptying the contents in the pot into a pan. she walked over to the oven opening it with the pan in her other hand. she slip the pan into the hot oven.

tyler took his lips in between his teeth, swaying back an forth slightly. kelly tore the hot pads off her hands slamming them down on the counter, lightly. she gripped the side of the counter, raising her eyebrows at her son, who was looking around awkwardly.

"so," she started, as a grin crept on her face. "'best friend', huh?" she raised her hands, making quotation marks with her hands at the words 'best friend'.

tyler almost choked on air, surprised that she brought it up that quickly. he widened his eyes, coughing into his fist.

"you know, tyler. you could have just told me he was your boyfriend." kelly commented. tyler winced at the words 'boyfriend'. god, if only josh was his boyfriend.

"that's the problem mom.." he shifted his feet, glancing down at them. "what is?" kelly tilted her head, wondering what was bothering her son.

"he's-he's not. you know, my boyfriend.." tyler stuttered while mumbling under his breath. "what do you mean, sweetie? i-i saw you gu-"

"mom! i know, just- he has a girlfriend, you wouldn't understand." tyler cringed, not wanting her to repeat their actions. "what!" kelly's eyes almost popping out of her head with the mention of josh having a girlfriend.

"and that's exactly why i didn't tell you.." tyler huffed, rolling his eyes. "he has a girlfriend!? what is wrong with him, he's basically che- tyler get back here!" she yelled as Tyler started strolling away, annoyed with her rambling. he groaned turning on his heels at the sound of her voice calling him back.

"what!?" he exclaimed. "it's not as bad as it sounds, mom! he's most likely already told her. then he's gonna ask me out, and we're gonna date and it will all be perfect." tyler sighed, drifting off in his own imagination.

he shook his head coming back to reality to find his mom staring at him with the most baffled look on her face. he groaned, putting his face in his hands rubbing them down his eyes, to then drop them to his sides.

"he doesn't love her, mom." he claimed, looking his mother dead in the eyes. "at least i think he doesn't." he dropped his head, mumbling the last sentence for only him to hear.

kelly just rolled her eyes, stumbling over to tyler. she wrapped her arms around him, tightly, but not to much to hurt the fragile boy. tyler, soon hugged back resting his head on her shoulder.

"just, stay away from him if he does love her. don't be the cause of a relationship falling apart." tyler blinked, her first sentence reminding him of the note he got the other day. he closed his eyes, relaxing into her embrace. "okay." he paused.

"i love you mom, thank you." he pulled away to look her in the face. she chuckled kissing him on the cheek. "i love you too."
