tyler and josh slowly waddled off of their cramped plane. butterflies were flying around their stomachs, bashing into each other and doing flips. this is the moment tyler had been waiting for for years, and josh just wanted to make a good impression.
they got into the airport and the smell of chocolate wafted their way. it's not an airport without some sort of doughnut stand. but neither boys wanted anything. they felt they would be sick even if they only tapped the melted chocolate.
tyler quickly pulled out his phone and began messaging gerard. he was shaking.
"ty calm down. you know these guys, there's no need to be worried." josh said as he placed a reassuring hand on the taller boys left shoulder.
"you don't understand, josh. yes, i know these people. i've known them almost my whole life. but i've put them all on such high pedestals that they feel like celebrities. i feel like i'm meeting micheal jackson right now." tyler whispered, tears welling up in his eyes. he felt arms wrap around him, and he did the same thing.
"no need to cry! even celebrities don't bite!" josh laughed.

tyler and josh sat on a bench near the entrance. gerard said that him and his friends were running late, and said that brendon and ryan would probably the first people to get there. tyler rested his head on josh's broad shoulders. he didn't sleep the night before out of excitement.
"what if we're the only ones who show up and this is all just a big prank on us?" tyler questioned, running his right pointer finger up and down his left thumb. "what if they actually don't like me and want to see me upset so they did this? what if my imagination is just telling me that they're real, and that you and everyone here is just a dream? what i-" tyler was cut of by josh bringing him to his chest and hugging him powerfully. tyler melted in his arms.
"stop questioning it all. i'm real, you're real, and everyone cares about you. we all care about you and would never want to see you upset, okay? they're just toxic thoughts. you need to push them away. you're stronger than they are." his fingers traipsed down tyler's figure, making tyler squeeze him ever-so-slightly more.
"what did i ever do to deserve you, joshua william dun?" tyler questioned, laughing into josh's shoulder.
"you let me be myself." josh answered back.
the two boys remained intertwined. not just their physical forms, but their mental forms too. they were hugging each other, their legs were rubbing together. tyler's hands were in josh's hair, and josh's hands were on tyler's shoulder blades.
their bodies were intertwined
but this wasn't known to them at this moment. but they were feeling the same thing. bliss. complete and utter bliss. they were both thinking "i hope this lasts forever.". they were both humming rose-colored boy by paramore. they were at peace.
their thoughts were intertwined
at this moment. they purely existed. they were alive, and living every moment. through their expression of love and care. it may not be romantic and intimate. it may just be platonic. but the love and care is there. they're there for each other when they are needed most. and that's what makes their relationship special. any relationship, for that matter.
this hug felt like it lasted 20 years.
when it only lasted for 2 minuets.
that's what intertwinement can do.

a short while later, a voice on the loud speaker announced;
"the flight from nevada to la has just landed, the flight from nevada to la has just landed. if you are picking someone up, please wait at gate 7. thank you."
both tyler and josh's faces lit up. that was brendon and ryan's flight. they hopped up and rushed to gate 7. and by rushed, they basically walked a little faster. the airport was cramped, they didn't want to bump into people they didn't know.
they stood impatiently at the gate. it had been so long since tyler had saw brendon and ryan. it'd more than likely be a little awkward. or, it'd more than likely end up that they can't stop talking and it's like they haven't been split up for almost ten years. luckily, fate took the latter.
to tyler, it all felt like it was going in slow motion. he spotted a tall guy with a tall brown quiff, and a smaller guy (still tall) with short brown hair. "that's brendon and ryan." tyler thought to himself. josh was finding them hard to spot, as he had only ever saw a few pictures of the two. but when tyler started bolting towards the two boys, josh was following behind him.
"TYLER!" ryan and brendon exclaimed as they ran up to tyler. they both trapped the smaller boy in a group hug, then noticed the bright-haired boy awkwardly standing beside them. "JOSH!" ryan screeched, josh was immediately tackled by him with a hug. i guess ryan has always had a thing for josh. brendon and tyler both joined the hug. a feeling of ecstasy was running through their bloodstream. everything was perfect.
but, to poor little tyler, the moment was over in under a second, and all he remembered and all he will ever remember is a blur.
