Tyler screamed in a mixture of joy and terror as the rollercoaster plunged downwards. This was one of his favourite things to do and he loved everything about it. The wind in his hair, the way his stomach felt like it was about to spill out of his mouth as the rollercoaster car shot towards the ground and the way his hands automatically rose up into the air. He laughed genuinely for the first time in three months, and it took josh by suprise. Tyler had a light, bubbly, infectious laugh and before he knew it josh was laughing as well.
But all to soon the ride came to an end and they got off of their car, doubled over with laughter, giggly as shit for no particular reason. Everyone was staring, but they really didn't care.
Tyler scraped his hand around the very bottom of the paper bag in an attempt to scoop up the last few kernels of popcorn as he left the theme park with josh, before screwing it up and stuffing it in his pocket. Josh looked at his watch. "We've still got a couple hours left. Anything else you want to do?"
"Nah not really. Let's just go back to your place and play video games or something."
"Sure"
Josh tossed tyler a controller and turned on the gaming system attached to the small TV opposite his bed. He slid his favourite game into the disk slot and before long he was shooting at bad guys and throwing grenades. They played for about half an hour, but josh could tell tyler really wasn't enjoying it. He put his controller down and turned to tyler.
"What's wrong buddy?"
"Oh...N-n-nothibg"
"Tyler Robert joseph! Don't you dare try to tell me it's nothing. I know yoy well enough to know when something is wrong. Spit it out!"
Tyler took a deep breath and wondered if this was a good idea. He hadn't told anyone before...but something about josh made him want to tell him and release the constant ton of pressure weighing on his chest every hour of every day.
"Josh...I...I'm..."
"It's okay! You can tell me!"
"I...imbisexualokay"
Tyler didn't know why he said it so fast. He just wanted to get it over to it he guessed. His heart pounded twice as hard as it ever had before and it took a few seconds for josh to respond. His expression changed from one of concern, to disbelief, and finally to laughter.
"That's...that's it? That's your big thing that been bothering you?"
Tyler wanted to cry. Josh clearly didn't accept him, and that meant the magical freindship they shared would be over.
