Josh stepped out of the Maserati, still drooling over the car's beauty. Troy stayed inside the car, but Josh wanted to ask him something before he leaves

"Could you- Um, Troy?"

"Yeah?" Troy leaned on the passenger seat to eye Josh.

"Could you give me Tyler's number?" Josh asked shyly.

Troy sighed, but pulled out a paper and a pen from a shelf in the car door "Only because he likes you"

Josh squealed in joy "Thank you!"

Troy snorted, shaking his head as he wrote down Tyler's number. He handed the small paper to the pink-haired boy.

"You can't tell anyone about the five of us nor about what happened at Tyler's apartment now, alright?" Troy said threateningly.

"I don't even know what happened" Josh shrugged, giggling a little.

"Just keep your mouth shut, alright?" Troy said through his teeth now; he was dead serious.

Josh gulped; looks like Troy isn't the person to joke around with "Okay"

Troy nodded and drove off. Josh turned on his heel and paced toward the entrance of the student home. He made his way to the second floor, last door on the left side of the long hallway and opened the door which he knew was unlocked because Brendon leaves it unlocked when he's inside.

"You're back! Finally! Order some pizza, please? I'm starving" Brendon groaned the first second Josh set foot into the apartment.

"Couldn't you have ordered the pizza yourself?" Josh cringed, closing the door behind himself and holding tightly on to the paper in his hand.

"I'm to lazy to get to the phone" Brendon said as an excuse.

"The phone is in your hands" Josh noted, nodding at the device in Brendon's left hand.

"I'm to lazy to dial the pizzeria" Brendon grinned; he always had an excuse. Always.

Josh rolled his eyes and threw himself onto their blue sofa. Brendon jumped to the side a little, because he was in fact sitting on that sofa.

"Now, let's get serious" Brendon started calmly. Then he shouted at Josh "What the hell Joshua?! Blurryface?! Really?!"

"Calm the hell down Brendon! The guy is great!" Josh defended Tyler, shaking his head with a frown because of Brendon's signature screaming. He then sighed, remembering Tyler and the soft kisses they exchanged "I think I'm in love..."

Brendon slapped Josh "No! You're not!"

"Why not?!" Josh gasped, ignoring the pain Brendon's palm sent into his cheek.

"You know nothing about the dude! He could be a rapist!" Brendon accused.

"He's amazing! He kissed me and was very nice to me! And I do know a lot about him actually" Josh crossed his arms on his chest.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" Brendon mimicked Josh's action and pursed his lips for no particular reason.

"He has four identical twin brothers, he's rich as hell, and I guess he's involved in some terrorist attack thingy. There was a gun battle in his apartment this morning. And he hid me in his robot bed" Josh counted all these things on his fingers.

He didn't even think about what the brothers told him about not telling anyone. Brendon isn't just anyone. Brendon is his best friend and roommate, they barely have any secrets.

Brendon's jaw dropped "Are you kidding me?!"

"Nope" Josh shook his head "Everything is entirely true"
