Josh blinked slowly as he began to wake up. His muscles were sore from his odd sleeping position. He lifted his arm and stretched, and then felt his hand hit something. He jolted up and saw he had hit Tyler in the face, who was sleeping right above him. Josh had fallen asleep in Tyler's lap, and Tyler fell asleep sitting up with his head tilted back. Although Josh had just hit him in the face, Tyler laid dead asleep in front of Josh. Josh glanced to the clock above his TV and it read 4:30 A.M., they had slept all through the night like this. Both of the boys had things to do, so Josh decided to make Tyler a breakfast he could eat before having to hurry to school.
Josh isn't much of a cook, so he settles on some donuts in his cupboard that he bought a little bit ago. He makes Tyler some coffee, and uses his favorite creamer. By the time the coffee is perfectly mixed, Tyler walked into the kitchen with sleepy eyes. Tyler stretched his arms up so high that his stomach became visible to Josh. Josh's first thought is that he wants to tickle Tyler, so he does.
Josh reaches his arm out, and pokes Tyler's visible stomach. Tyler gasped in surprise.
"Joshua! We have no time for this." Tyler said with a morning voice that made Josh want Tyler to talk to him for hours.
"I made you breakfast, so the least you could do is kiss me." Josh pulled Tyler in close to him, ad Tyler giggled.
"Morning breath, buddy." Tyler said trying to get out of Josh's hold. Josh didn't even move once though, and Tyler was trying his hardest.
"C'mon." Josh said rubbing Tyler's nose against his.
Tyler gave in and kissed Josh. The touch of Josh's lips against Tyler's made everything feel normal again. Nothing was rushing around.
"Come to school with me." Tyler said pleading up to Josh after they pulled apart.
"I wish, Ty. I need to go to work. How about we do something special tonight?" Josh rubbed circles with both hands on Tyler's back as they stood there together in the kitchen.
"I don't know what we could do." Tyler said contemplating places they could go together. Josh did the same.
"How about a fancy dinner? I know a place." Josh said releasing Tyler from his arms, and now take Tyler's hands in his.
"Alright!" Tyler's eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to go. Maybe I'll just skip school Tyler thought. Josh would kill him though. Josh always wants the best for Tyler.
They pulled apart and, once again, ate on the couch together.
:))))
Josh pulled up to the school, and Tyler grunted as he opened the door.
"I love you!" Josh shouted to Tyler as he walked away from the car. It made Tyler blush, because there were classmates all around.
"I love you!" Tyler turned and said before running into the doors and out of the cold air. He wasn't this kind of person at school. He was quiet. Only a few people knew he was gay, and accepted it. The others knew, but hated it. They called him "slut" ,"whore" ,"faggot", and so many more. It was like a candy shop of slurs as soon as he walked into the school.
When Tyler had tried to tell the principal the names he was being called, the principal simply dismissed it by saying, "We have no proof of this. Also, if they are calling you a faggot- how is that a name? It is what you are. Don't let it get to you." So labeling people of these hateful words was accepted at his school. If there even was proof, Tyler knew nobody would care. Every one would say "Well, you're still alive. I think it'll be fine." Tyler hated this. He knew they would say this because he heard it all over the place when he tried to get help. Sure he was alive, but he was crumbling. It's not like after every insult his emotions reset to the happiness.
There is emotional aftermath, and occasionally physical.
Today when he walked into the school, he immediately saw his friend Brendon chatting with Ryan and Dallon. Of course Brendon is stupid enough to talk to both of his boyfriends at the same time. I wonder if they know. Tyler thought to himself. He walked over to the group of boys, and Brendon waved away Dallon and Ryan. Tyler was relieved he wouldn't need to meet any new people.
"Hey buddy! I hear you have a new boy toy." Brendon said in a jokingly manner.
"Yes, Brendon, I do have a boyfriend." Tyler rolled his eyes at Brendon.
"Where is the fella? Does he go here?" Brendon looked behind Tyler looking for the boy Tyler must be dating.
"Nah, he dropped out a little bit ago." Tyler leaned into the lockers to his left.
"I getcha. Well, I gotta go convince Dallon I like him more than Ryan. So, peace." Brendon gave Tyler a peace sign, and Tyler sighed at Brendon's idiocy.
When walking to the cafeteria, Tyler saw the group of people who always make fun of him.
"Hey little lover boy." The main one- Vic said while pushing Tyler into a locker. Vic rested his hands on both sides of Tyler trapping him, and making them look face to face.
"Get o-off of m-me Vic." Tyler tried to shove him off, but he was almost as immovable as Josh, and it wasn't a good thing in this case.
"Kiss me. Convince me you're a faggot." Vic said moving his face closer to Tyler's. Tyler tried to scream, but Vic already covered his mouth.
"Why would I do that?" Tyler said after Vic removed his hand and slapped him.
"Because you're... a... faggot!" Vic said, making his whole gang behind him laugh. He said faggot in a way that spewed out of his mouth. It made Tyler want to bawl.
Vic moved his face fully in before Tyler could resist again, and now their lips were connected. Vic wouldn't move. He only moved his lips on Tyler, but his body was complete titanium.
At this time- with Vic kissing Tyler, Tyler resisting, and the crowd watching them and laughing- Josh came around the corner holding Tyler's forgotten lunch.
Josh had checked into the office, and they just told him to take it to Tyler. But apparently Tyler was kissing someone. Another guy. Josh was infuriated. He dropped the brown paper bag, and ran up and swung at the guy's face.
"What the fuck man?!" Vic sputtered holding his face. Tyler had now begun officially crying, and Josh ran up to Tyler, but didn't hold him.
"What the hell, Tyler?" Josh yelled at him. It just made Tyler shake.
"Tyler, come with me." Josh took Tyler's arm and walked angrily to the office to check him out.
The office ladies were lazy, so they let them go easily. Tyler continued to sob. He didn't know what to tell Josh. Josh hates you now. He never loved you anyway. You let that happen. Tyler's voices repeated in his mind.
Even once they had reached the car, the voices continued, and Tyler couldn't take it anymore.
"Stop yelling at me!" Tyler screamed when he sat down in the car. He choked more sobs out then, and all of Josh's anger vanished at the sight. Tyler was hurt, and that was Josh's job to fix now.
Josh reached over now, and took him in his arms. Tyler couldn't speak, because of his violent crying, and Josh didn't need him to yet.
A/N: I'll just end that there:))) It's gonna get crazy pretty soon(:
have a lovely day/night :)
