"Tyler!" I call from the living room couch. A few seconds later I hear, "Yeah?" I continue scrolling through my feed when I hear footsteps. I look up at him and put my phone down.

"Can we do something? I'm hecka bored." I say and lean back into the sofa. Tyler raises an eyebrow and smiles, "Hecka?" He questions with a chuckle. I giggle and nod.

"Yes Tyler, hecka bored! Now can we do something?" He plops down next to me and looks at me. "That's a new one." I roll my eyes and turn to face him. "You're minimizing my problem." I say with an annoyed sigh.

Tyler burst out laughing and let his head fall on the back of the couch. I roll my eyes and pretend to be mad. "Y-" Tyler starts but bursts out laughing again. I look at him and try to continue to pout, but fail.

I giggle at him but cover my mouth, in hopes he doesn't notice. "You just laughed!" Tyler exclaimed and pointed to me. I burst out laughing and he does too.

A few minutes later we're laughing so hard tears are freely falling down our faces and we're clutching our stomachs because they hurt so bad.

We slowly start to calm down and start breathing normally. We look at each other with big smiles on our faces. "That was... exhausting." I say.

"Agreed.. I never knew laughing was so much work." He replies. I giggle and nod. "I feel like I just did a major workout." I reply.

He turns his head to face the wall in front of him, even though I continue facing him with a faint smile. "Those were like... belly laughs." I say. He smiles and nods.

"I have to say, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. And i'm glad it was with my best friend." He says, turning to face me with the biggest smile anyone could ever manage.

I chuckle and look at the floor with a smile. "What?" Tyler asks. I couldn't see his face, but I could definitely tell he was still smiling. I shake my head and look at him. "You're such a dork, Joseph." I say and playfully punch his arm.

He chuckles and, after a few moments, puts his hand on my knee which causes me to look up at him. He sighs and looks me straight in the eye. I knit my eyebrows, confused as to what he's planning.

"Listen... Y/N.. I.. um." He starts, his face suddenly expressionless. "What?" I ask, suddenly concerned. "I just.." He starts. He looks at the floor and shakes his head. "Nah, forget it." He concludes.

"What?" I ask, watching him. "Nothing. Just.. uh.. forget it." He says, sounding slightly upset. "I just.. i'm gonna go." He says and gets up. He starts to walk away when I grab his hand.

He stops in his tracks and looks back. And.. is he... blushing? "Sit." I say. "But-" he starts to protest, but I interrupt him. "No. Sit." I say, repeating myself. "No, but-" Tyler tries to protest again.

"Are you deaf? Just sit." I say, snapping a little. He does as told and gently sits on the couch. He refuses to look at me, but doesn't protest to letting go of my hand.

"Tyler. Please, what's going on? You're obviously not yourself." He lets out a sad sigh. "I.. I wanna tell you but.." I rub my thumb over his knuckles and he calms down a little bit. "But what? I promise I won't judge you, whatever it is." I reassure him.

"I know, but, I just.. this thing.. it.. it could ruin our friendship and.. I don't want that. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I can't lose that. I'd go back to my old ways and.." He stops himself and starts sobbing.

"Oh Tyler.." I say sadly. I let go of his hand and reach over to give him a big hug. He cries even harder and hugs back. We sit in a big mess of emotions until he speaks up.

"Listen.. I'm just gonna come out and say it. I like you..a lot." He says while wiping tears. I look up from his shoulder and stare at a wall. "A-And.. I know you don't like me like that but I jus-" I cut him off by kissing him.

I shut my eyes, so I (unfortunately) couldn't see his reaction. But I imagined his eyes were the size of the moon. (a/n: am I cool yet 😎 sorry, i'll go home) And his heart was racing.

He soon melted into the kiss and I kind of wish I knew what he was thinking. After a few moments I pulled back. He was speechless, and didn't even know what to do. To be fair, I didn't either.

We just looked at each other for a few minutes with a smile.. a genuine one. But, I decide to break the silence and tell him something important:

"I like you too, Tyler."

It felt like I went on a rollercoaster of emotions.. and I wrote this?

I was listening to music and now I have so many ideas. Also, shoutout to the people who are patiently waiting for this to be up! Love you ;)

Would you guys be up for it if I uploaded more? I don't know, I just have lots of ideas. Speaking of, feel free to dm me ideas or comment them!

I also wanna say, it took me so long to figure out what picture I wanted to use. So I sat and looked through tons of pictures of Tyler laughing, it was heavenly.

Okay, until next time, love you!
