everything is red [jd.tj]

ch. 21

"Why would you do this without my say huh?" Josh said in annoyance, although he wasn't really complaining, he loved dogs. 

"Oh c'mon, I know you want to pet him Joshie!" Tyler showed his pearly whites and handed over the little husky that was wrapped with a big, red bow. Josh sighed, but took the pup nonetheless and hugged the little thing to his chest. She was truly adorable, but as adorable as his Tyler.

"Merry Christmas Joshie."

Josh woke up in the middle of the night, sweating like crazy. He looked over to his clock and saw that it read 2:00 am. He groaned, but then laid back down. He was a very static boy at the moment. He had finally asked out Tyler, and what made things even better is that he had said yes, which made Josh's heart swell. But what both boys don't know is that there was someone else there in that music shop, watching the boys carefully. That person was Tyler's mom and oh boy she was not happy. 

Josh had eventually fell back asleep, continuing his cute, little Christmas themed dream. 

Tyler p.o.v. (will be like this until said otherwise)

I can't believe he asked me out, and in front of a crowd as well! Maybe things were finally starting to come my way. I steadily got out of my bed, and got dressed for school. I went upstairs to see my mom cooking. Which is very odd considering that woman hasn't cooked a single thing in her life. I silently waved her as I walked out the jagged front door. I wasn't going to eat anything. Why would I? I have a boyfriend and I have to stay skinny, healthy, and beautiful for him because if I don't he'll break up with me. I sigh happily as I walk to school, the autumn leaves falling around me and the crisp of the wind against my bare skin causing me to shiver. It was truly an enchanting morning. I had a feeling it was going to be precious day. 

The moment I saw Josh at the steps, I rushed over to him and hugged his waist from behind. He tensed up at first, but I think once he knew it was me, he relaxed into my touch. He turned around and almost immediately snuggled his face into my neck, causing me to giggle and blush. I wasn't used to this kind of affection. He removed his face after a few pecks on my neck and looked into my cinnamon, bittersweet eyes. 

"Good morning, boyfriend." I blushed even more than I possibly could. I couldn't imagine how much of a ruby, pink shade they probably were. I most likely looked like a tomato, but a lumpy tomato of course. 

"Good morning, boyfriend." I replied, kissing his cheek. He took my hand and lead us into the school. At a short notice, everyone looked at us. They started at our faces then traveled to our held hands. I hid my face in his shoulder because I was slightly taller than him. I started to get a little frightened, but I knew Josh could protect me, he was very strong. I felt him squeeze my hand, making a smile come to light. We walked into Mr. Way's class then took our usual seats. 

"Ah good morning Tyler, and Josh? You're never here this early." 

"I know sir, but I figured I should escort my boyfriend properly to class. I'm sure you would understand Mr. Way." Josh smirked. I rolled my eyes, but smiled and looked up at our teacher. 

"Ah yes, I see. How adorable, but no pda please, you guys know how mean these kids are. But since no one is here yet, you guys can be all lovey dovey. I understand because my husband, Frank, is quite the cuddler, and he's small like you Josh." 

I found it lovely how Mr. Way was talking about his husband fondly, maybe that can be Josh and I one day.  But let's not jump too far ahead yet, I'm not sure how Josh would feel about that. 

As soon as kids started coming in, Josh gave my hand one last squeeze before directing his attention to the front. I smiled affectionately once I started to see him doodle in his notebook. How cute. He's like a little kitten, so tiny and fluffy. And he's all mine.
