ice cream

Tyler wound and unwound his fingers together, taking short, shaky breaths, and walking silently. Was he really going to meet josh dun the faded hair drummer? He turned the corner looming over a dry bush and frantically looked around the super tiny park. There he was. Facing away from Tyler sat a guy. He had faded red hair which was now pinkish, a black shirt, and black skinny jeans, he had a sleeve tattoo which Tyler didn't notice in the picture because he was to torn on looking at his face.
What did this stranger sound like? They never skyped or facetimed.
What if the stranger didn't like him in real life?
He let out a long sigh before making it to the bench. Josh was still facing away from him and Tyler could now see he was sketching with a broken pencil and on a ripped up journal. "Mr. Dun." He croaked out."Mr. Joseph." Josh said turning around and smiling a radiant smile. His voice wasn't that deep, but it wasn't high pitched either.
Tyler let himself relax a little and smiled too.
"Its nice to finally see your face...jish."
"Thanks, Ty. I didn't expect you to be so lovely (reference) in real life."
"Ty? Why not tyjo?" Tyler asked.
"I like it better. Now let's go, I have money. I'm taking you somewhere. Do you like ice cream?" Josh held out his hand which had at least 200 whole dollars in it!
Tyler felt himself grow sad. When he first got here it seemed like josh didn't even have enough money for art stuff. He'd at least want him to buy a new pencil instead of ice cream. Except he didn't want to hurt Josh's feelings so instead he said, "yes of course I do."
Josh smiled again. "Im sorry I don't have a car at the moment but there's a new ice cream parlor just right down there," he pointed off in the distance, "and I'm sure we can walk."
Tyler eagerly nodded.

The walk started out long and boring with no words being said and no quick 'oh I hope he doesn't look back' glances at each other. But after five minutes josh finally said something.
"You know you never answered my question."
Tyler started winding his fingers together again, has josh asked a question and he hasn't been listening? "W-what?" He uttered.
"When we started texting each other I asked what your favorite color, hobby, and movie. You never answered."
Tyler immediately calmed down, "Oh, OK. Well my favorite color is red, favorite movie is shutter island and favorite hobby is..uh..singing. I guess."
Josh crossed the street, they were almost there. "My favorite color is black, I don't have a favorite movie, and my hobby is drawing mostly although I do play drums sometimes."
"Speaking of drawings can I see yours? I know they are in your backpack." Tyler glanced at the black bag on josh's shoulders with worn out skulls on it.
"Uh... they aren't that good. What about you ty? Can I hear you sing?" Josh smiled again. Tyler thought his smile was adorable how his lips parted opened a crack just barely showing his pearly, white teeth.
"Oh. I don't know, I'm not very good..." Tyler rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
Josh didn't want to pressure him into anything (😉) so instead he just mumbled out something that sounded like, "we're here." And sure enough they were.

Tyler ordered chocolate chip mint ice cream while Josh got cookie dough.
They spent the next 15 minutes talking and talking about the most random things.
"Do you like big or small fish?"
"Have you heard of radioactive whales?, they aren't real but the pictures are pretty cool."
"Who is your spirit animal."
On the last question Tyler wanted to choke out how Josh was his spirit animal but maybe josh would think that's weird.
It was getting late but Tyler didn't want to leave and neither did Josh.
"Hey uhm, you wanna spend the night?" Tyler asked, his hopes higher than usual.
"Yeah!" Josh smiled yet again.
This was it. Their first sleepover.
Tyler felt like a young school person again except better because now he had a friend.
