Rubik's Cube (Joshler)

CHAPTER 67: Laugh

Josh's POV ~

I've been working nonstop the entire week. Tyler's cold went away a few days ago and he was out with Melanie when I returned home from work so I collapsed on the bed face first and went to sleep.

°~°

I woke up to the front door slamming shut. I groaned and checked the time. 1am. I crawled out of bed and groggily walked up the stairs after realising Tyler wasn't in bed next to me.

When I reached the top of the stairs I was met with a crying Tyler, sitting on the floor, his back pressed to the door and his knees to his chest.

"Tyler?" I asked wearily, slowly inching toward him. He shot his head up and stared at me. I kneeled down in front of him and wiped his tears away. "What's wrong baby?"

He broke eye contact with me and looked the opposite direction. My mom slowly came down the stairs along with my siblings. They were probably wondering what the slam was.

"Tyler talk to me." I said gently. "I'm sorry." he croaked meeting my gaze once again. "Why are you apologising?" I asked. "cause I just got home and it's late."

"Is that the real reason your crying?" I questioned. He shook his head no. "Can you tell me whats really wrong then?"

"T-there was a guy a-at the mall and he said stuff to me." Tyler whispered. "What did he say baby?" He shook his head. "He called me names. Bad names."

"What kind of bad names? What did he call you?" I asked. "Slut... Fag.... Disgusting... " he whispered, his voice cracking. I shushed him and pulled him up close to me.

"Your not any of those things baby. It was just some asshole okay? Don't let it bother you." I said. He nodded, stood up and started heading to the room.

My mom was still standing there along with my siblings. "Go back to bed." I told them. "What about Tyler?" my mom asked. "He'll be okay Don't worry." She nodded and they went back to their rooms.

I went downstairs to find Tyler crawling into bed. I crawled in with him. He cuddled into my chest and fell asleep.

°~°

It was the morning, Tyler had woken up a few minutes ago. Now we were sitting on the bed laughing and enjoying each others company.

I fell backwards on the bed laughing when Tyler told me that he had tripped and spilt his food and drink on some old dude when he was out with Melanie yesterday and how the old dude started yelling at him and also how he tried to clean it up and ended up slipping on his spilt drink and fell into the old dude again bringing them both to the ground.

Tyler crawled on top of me and straddled my hips. I was still laughing. He sat with a straight face and his arms crossed over his chest. I closed my mouth trying to stop laughing but failed and started laughing again.

I looked up at him. "The poor old dude." I laughed. He uncrossed his arms. "It's not funny. What if I like broke that dudes hip or something?" he said seriously. "Ahhh meh hip!" I said in my best impression of an old dude then continued laughing.

Tyler sat there emotionless waiting for me to stop laughing. When I did I sat up coming face to face with Tyler. He stared at me. I leaned in to give him a kiss but he just got up and walked away. "Tyler don't be like that." I said following him.

I got to the top of the stairs but I didn't see him. "Tyler?" I called out. "BOO!" Tyler jumped out from no where. I screamed. He started laughing, doubling over. "You sounded like a girl. Your-your voice went so high pitched." he laughed his hands on his knees. I stared at him in shock. He fell to the ground clutching his sides.

I couldn't help but smile at him.
