luckily, tylers day sped past him. before he knew it, he was climbing into his car and driving to troyes house, his mind focused on clearing his thoughts.

he was only a block away from his boyfriends house when his phone started ringing.

"hello?" he held his phone up to his ear, not even bothering to check the caller ID.

"hi bub, it's troye."

"oh hi! i'm on my way to your house now." tyler smiled, glad to hear his voice again.

"yeah, about that. i've been invited to a last minute dinner. they said they'd revoke my college applications if i don't go."

"oh, alright." tyler replied monotonously.

"sorry, ty! ill make it up to you, i promise."

"yeah. well, i'll let you get to it." tyler sighed, overly disappointed. "bye."

"okay, love you-"

tyler hung up before the australian boy could say anything else, quickly turning his car around. he frustratedly ran a hand through his hair, cursing himself.

"you fuck everything up, fucking idiot!" tyler yelled at himself, banging his palms on his steering wheel.

then he had a thought, a very stupid one, for that matter. a thought that could get him into a lot of drama. but hey, what worse could happen? he'd already pretty much ruined everything!

without a second thought, he was pulling up at joshuas house and parking on his driveway.

as he climbed out of his car, he noticed josh talking the trash out, headphones in as he air drummed. tyler laughed quietly, planning on sneaking up on the older male.

he snuck up behind him, trying his best not to laugh as he slapped joshs ass, ducking on instinct. luckily, he ducked just in time to dodge joshs fist, the taller boy placing a hand over his heart.

"you scared the fuck out of me, ty!" josh panted dramatically, pulling his earphones out. "i almost punched you in the face!"

"don't act like you're not happy to see me." tyler rolled his eyes, taking josh off guard with a side hug. tyler didn't even know why he did it, maybe because he was lacking affection?

no, something about josh reminded him of troye. he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"eh." josh shrugged teasingly, wrapping an arm around the younger boy's waist. "why'd you come here? weren't you seeing your little boyfriend?"

"he cancelled on me." tyler sighed, not liking the way those words tasted. "besides, i felt kinda rude for being mean to you. i'm sorry."

tyler was not sorry.

but he needed something to do and well, josh is a sucker for him and he would do literally anything for tyler. anything.

"don't worry, baby. it's cool." josh replied smoothly. "come inside."

tyler followed closely behind, knowing this was wrong, but continuing nonetheless.

"where's your brother?" tyler asked, slipping his shoes off at the front door and following josh inside.

"he went to this restaurant with my cousin." josh shrugged, flopping onto the couch. "i told 'em i didn't wanna go and uh, yeah."

"dude that's so ironic. my boyfriend's at a restaurant with family right now." tyler laughed, sitting next to josh.

"wait, really?" josh raised a brow, vividly remembering his cousin talking about a new boyfriend.

"yeah! it's probably just a coincidence, though." tyler shrugged and josh hummed in agreement.

fast forward two hours and tyler and josh were fiercely making out, saliva stringing from their lips as their chests rose and fell.

"wait- stop." tyler suddenly pulled away, guilt washing over him. "why the fuck did i let you do that?" he chastised, standing up and pacing around the room.

"what?" josh asked, taken aback.

"i'm just as bad as you, fucking idiot!" tyler yelled, pulling at his hair. "i'm a fucking goner if troye finds out."

"wait..." joshs eyes widened as he looked up at the pretty brunette, his mind starting to piece together all this information like a puzzle. "what's your boyfriend's name?"

"troye."

"troye what?" josh stood up, approaching the boy who had finally stopped pacing around.

"troye mellet!" tyler yelled frustratedly. "why does it matter anyways? you're probably gonna stalk him or something."

"uh, tyler." josh began, heart sinking to his stomach as he spoke, "troye is my fucking cousin."

"what? please say you're joking." tyler begged, desperately searching joshs face for any hints of a joke. sadly, nothing.

"fuck." tyler gulped thickly, tears prickling at his eyes. "i just cheated on my boyfriend with his fucking cousin who cheated on my best friend! what the fuck?!" tyler screamed, roughly shoving josh back onto the couch.

"tyler, relax."

"relax? relax?!" tyler fumed, pinning josh down. "i'm sorry, but not everyone is used to cheating on others! i'm a horrible person."

"hey," josh pulled the now crying boy into his arms, rubbing soft circles onto his back. "what he doesn't know won't hurt him."

a knock at the door broke them out of their momentary crisis, josh slowly walking to the door.

"joshua!" an australian accent echoed through the door.

"hey, troye." josh said casually. "i thought you were at dinner?"

"nah, tyde threw up so here we are!" he laughed happily, making tylers heart clench. "i was driving past and noticed tylers car. is he here? i felt bad for blowing him off like that." troye asked solemnly.

"yeah, we were just watching movies." josh smiled, opening the door wider. "come on in."

"ty!" troye smiled, kissing his boyfriends tainted lips. "oh no, why're you crying?" he asked with honest concern.

"sad movie." tyler shrugged, coughing awkwardly. "i gotta use the bathroom, ill be back." he faked smiled, leaving the room.
