junior prom - part two

tw// brief mentions of nausea and v*miting oops.

Tyler dragged his chair closer to Josh's so they could sit pressed up against one another as he handed Josh a glass of punch. Josh smiled and let Tyler kiss his forehead before he settled his head on Tyler's shoulder.

"Has everyone voted?" Jenna asked as they all sat around their table. Some people shook their heads.

"Voted for what?" Mark asked as he sat down beside Tyler.

"Prom King and Queen." Sarah replied excitedly.

"Oh yeah, I voted for Tyler and Josh." Mark shrugged and everyone looked at him, Josh confused and blushing.

"Dude same, I just wrote Josh's name in under Queen." Hayley laughed.

"Me too!" Jenna laughed.

Josh went bright red. "Why do I have to be the Queen?"

"Because Tyler is legitimately nominated for Prom King." Sarah replied like it was obvious.

Josh lifted his head to look at Tyler's guilty and embarrassed expression.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Josh asked with a pout and Tyler let out a nervous chuckle.

"Because it's not a big deal. Michael and Jenna are gonna win anyway." He shrugged and Michael snorted.

"I don't even know why I'm nominated, you're the obvious choice dude."

Tyler rolled his eyes but Josh nodded. Quickly hurrying over to the ballot box to vote for Tyler and Jenna seeing as she was the obvious choice for prom queen, especially because she deserved a win after the year she'd had.

"Who'd you vote for?" Mark teased as Josh sat back down again.

Josh bit back a smile as he came back with. "Sarah for King and Brendon for drama Queen."

Tyler burst out laughing clapping a hand to his chest and doubling over which made Josh's whole body tingle with happiness at the sight.

"Bitch I would look fabulous in a tiara." Brendon said with a smirk and Sarah rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night baby." She teased before kissing his cheek. Brendon scoffed but didn't replied.

The conversation turning towards something else, people breaking off into their own conversations, others coming and going from the dancefloor to the table.

When it was finally time to announce the Prom King and Queen most of the teens there were buzzed off punch and gearing up to take the party back to Nick's house or wherever else there was a party going.

No one was shocked when Tyler won Prom King by a landslide. Josh cheered the loudest, pushing Tyler towards the stage because he was being stubborn and whining. Josh beamed at Tyler as he thanked people for voting and let someone put a plastic crown on his head and a sash over his head. He felt ridiculous and stood awkwardly in his tux but he smiled when he saw Josh's little eyebrow wiggle from the crowd.

Josh held his breath as they announced Prom Queen, but was instantly happy and relieved when Jenna's name was called. He cheered and clapped with his friends and jokingly wolf whistled when Tyler had to slow dance with Jenna causing him to huff and Jenna to throw her head back in laughter.

Watching them fondly now was funny to Josh, to think that there was a time he was jealous of the two of them together and then he remembered how Jenna was the first person Tyler had told about Josh and how she'd helped Tyler to come to terms with his feelings for him when everyone else had been completely clueless. He was grateful for her presence now and suddenly one memory was bubbling in his gut and making him feel queasy all of a sudden. He frowned.
