Rubik's Cube (Joshler)

CHAPTER 28: I Love You

Tyler's POV ~

I walk out into the hall closing the door behind me and leaving Josh by himself. "What is it?" I asked coming off more angry then I actually am.
"Oh um... Well... Are you... Is.. Um"
Zack was struggling to form a sentence.

"Am I what?" I asked. He took a deep breath. "Um well this morning when I went to get you for breakfast you and Josh were hugging each other and when I just walked in you were.. Sitting on his um lap... And well uh..." he paused for a moment. "Are you gay?" he whispered.

I felt a lump form in my throat and I couldn't swallow it. I shifted my weight from foot to foot as I bit my lip nervously. I drew in a sharp breath.
"Yes but don't hate me please and don't tell anyone please, please don't tell anyone." I said dropping to my knees in a pleading matter as tears formed in my eyes.

"Its Okay... I don't hate you... And I won't tell anyone... I understand that you need to wait until your ready..." he said kneeling in front of me and giving me a hug.

I instantly relaxed and it felt like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders from finally telling someone other then Josh and his mom. I'm so happy that Zack is okay with it. "Thank you" I said as he pulled away.
He just nodded and went into his room.

I stood up and ran into my bedroom with a smile on my face, closing the door behind me and I jumping on Josh who just stood up as I walked into the room. "Josh!" I screamed as I did so. He stumbled backwards onto the bed as I hugged him tightly.

"Whoaa whats got you so happy?" he laughed. "I told Zack and he was okay with it." I said "that's awesome! I'm so glad he was okay with it." he said returning the hug.

"What about your parents? And your other siblings? When are you going to tell them?" he asked. "Oh.. Um I'm not sure... I still think my parents are gonna take it badly." I answered.

He gave me a sad look "you got to tell them at some point." he said sitting up so I sat on his lap again. "I know." I sighed. "I just don't want them to be mad at me."

He gave a sad smile and rested his head on my shoulder. "Let me know what happens when you do tell them okay?" he said "I will."

Well Zack took it really good so my parents probably will too.... Right? Maybe I'll tell them after Josh leaves tomorrow.

"Come on." Josh said after being quiet for a while. "Where?" I asked getting down off his lap so he could stand up. "It's a surprise. Get dressed and I'll meet you in here after I do the same." he said grabbing some clothes for today and walking out of my room to the bathroom.

I didn't question it. I grabbed some black skinny jeans, a white T-shirt and a red Adidas jacket and put them on. Josh came back into the room a few minutes later wearing black skinny jeans and a light grey sweater.

He smiled at me when he walked through the door. He walked over to his bag putting his previous clothes in it and walked over to me. "You look beautiful.. As always." he said grabbing my hand "you ready to go?" he asked. "Um yea... But where are we going?"

"I told you its a surprise." he said dragging me out of the room and down the stairs. We put our shoes on and left. We didn't take my car we walked. Where ever were going can't be too far away.

We held each others hand the whole walk.

I had my head resting on his shoulder when he suddenly stopped walking. I look at him and he smirks. "Were here." was all he said before running down a path surrounded by trees. "Josh!" I yelled running after him.

The path soon came to a clearing and I stopped in my tracks. My jaw hung low in awe as I looked around the place, it was beautiful. There was a huge grass area surrounded by trees that looked over a lake. There were flowers littered all over the grass.

Josh stood down by the water with his hands in his pockets. I slowly made my way to him still astounded by the scenery.

"Do you like it?" he whispered when I got to him. I just nodded. He smiled. "I went for a drive with my mom last week and we found this place." he said sitting down in the grass. "I was thinking of something we could do today to get your mind off your parents and stuff and this place came to mind.. I thought you'd like it so I brought you here." he said looking at the sky.

"Its beautiful Joshie." I said sitting next to him. "Just like you." he replied. I looked at him and laughed. "That was so cheesy." I said. "I suppose it was." he said with a smile.

I leaned on his shoulder as we just stare at the lake and listen to the birds singing in the background.

After a while of us not moving or talking Josh turns to me and pushes me back so I'm laying down. He crawls on top of me supporting himself with his hands that rested at either side of my head.

"Gosh" was all he said."what?" I asked
"How did I get so lucky?" he asked
"What do you mean?" I said reaching up and putting my arms around his neck. "How did I get so lucky to end up with someone as beautiful, kind, and just overall as amazing as you?" he said stopping for a moment to lick his lips. "What did I do to be able to have you? What did I do to deserve you?" he asked looking into my eyes.

"I ask myself that question all the time." I said playing with the hair on the back of his head. "I always ask what I did to deserve you."

He smiled and leaned down to kiss me. Every time we kiss it feels like the whole world stops. Like its only me and him. Every time I get butterflies in my stomach.

He pulled away and laid down beside me. "...Josh?" I whispered. "Hmm." he replied. "... I love you." I said turning to him, he was already looking at me.
He smiled. "I love you too."

I let a breath out that I didn't realise I was holding and smiled. He pulled me in so I laid right next to him and we stared at the sky.

Eventually we got hungry so we got up and made our way back to my house. The rest of the day we spent watching movies and playing games.
Today was perfect I wouldn't ask for it to be any other way.
