Under The Covers {joshler}

junior year - part two

a/n: just to be clear, yes tyler tops in this fic as of right now, bc hes still working out his sexuality etc and josh knows he likes boys so it just feels natural to me that, especially with their dynamic, that tyler would top, doesn't mean josh wont top a bit later on cos switching is perfectly healthy! dont be silly about it its literally fiction and its really not worth going off about? i hope thats okay and if its not then keep it to yourself bc if i see rude comments i will just mute you.

Tyler blinked open slowly around midday feeling the warmth radiating from where Josh was on top of him, his face pushed against his shoulder, his mouth was parted and Tyler could feel his breath ghosting across his chest giving him goose bumps. Tentatively Tyler lifted his right hand, the one not trapped under Josh, to brush green curls off his forehead, he ran his feather light touch down Josh's cheek before tracing the slope of his nose and running a knuckle along his jaw.

Tyler held his breath as Josh shifted slightly obviously rousing from sleep, he was so beautiful. Tyler felt like his whole body radiated warmth, a feeling only Josh ever seemed to provide him, without Josh there he was left in the cold, he felt heavy and tired like he was dragging his feet with every step he took. Tyler knew what it meant, he just didn't want to admit it to himself.

"That tickles." Came Josh's deep hum as he roused, Tyler blushed and withdrew his fingers that had been absentmindedly running over the lines in Josh's face. "Good morning." Josh mumbled shifting impossibly closer to Tyler.

Tyler closed the small gap kissing him, three words threatened to spill out of his mouth as they pulled apart but he urgently swallowed them.

"Last night was nice." Tyler hummed instead.

"It wasn't so bad." Josh joked and Tyler swatted his shoulder in mock offence. "It was amazing Ty." Josh added genuinely.

Tyler smiled and thought back to Josh's thanks the night before, realisation clicked into place as his sleepy brain finally came to terms with the night's events.

"Was that your first..." he trailed off. Josh nodded cautiously, nervous of Tyler's reaction. "Me too."

Josh gaped at him, making Tyler chuckle and play with a stray curl on Josh's forehead.

"You're kinda my first everything, except kiss maybe." Tyler said, cheeks dusted pink. Josh felt his heart swell with pride.

"Same." Josh said quietly, kissing Tyler's shoulder. He didn't add that he hoped Tyler was his last everything too, he knew he couldn't.

"Was Debby your first kiss?" Tyler asked, ignoring the burning feeling that told him he was jealous. Josh nodded.

"Who was yours?" Josh asked settling his head in the crook of Tyler's shoulder, he shifted onto his side, curling against Tyler, so Tyler could move his half numb arm out from under Josh to wrap around him instead.

"Her name was Mandy and she was my partner for the science fair and she only let me erupt the volcano if i kissed her." Josh chuckled and Tyler felt the vibrations rattle through his chest, his whole body tingled at the sensation and he couldn't help but laugh too. "I was twelve I didn't know she was gonna cut me with her braces." Josh winced, burying his head between his hand and Tyler's chest, his laughter picking up.

Soon laughing turned to kissing and kissing turned to slow grinding of hips and boxers being shed and before long Tyler was enveloped in the tight heat of Josh again as they moved slowly, every touch lingering as Josh lay on top of him kissing lazily, mouths ghosting over one another as they headed towards a blissful finish.
