senior year - part five

            

"Star Wars is better than Star Trek." Mark said as he placed his tray down at the cafeteria table, causing Nick to shake his head as he, too, took a seat.

"That's literally not true at all and you know it." He huffed. The two continued to bicker as Hayley and Jenna slid onto the bench on either side of them.

"Josh, help me out here?" Mark begged looking across the table to where Josh was looking at his math homework sheet.

"Hm?" He asked and Tyler looked up from where he was sat, with Josh practically in his lap, legs bracketing Josh on either side, doing the same math homework over Josh's shoulder.

"Star Wars or Star Trek?" Mark asked looking hopefully between them both.

Both teens replied at the same time.

"Star Wars." "Star Trek." They looked at one another and shook their heads, laughing it off instead of bickering like Nick and Mark were still doing.

Tyler pulled Josh closer, his non-writing hand resting on Josh's stomach. The feeling of his fingers shifting made butterflies erupt in Josh's stomach and he twitched, unable to concentrate on his math problems.

After a minute or two Josh grabbed Tyler's hand and moved it away, lacing their fingers together and placing their joined hands onto the table instead. Tyler looked at him confused and Josh twisted so he could whisper to him without everyone else hearing, his cheeks bright pink.

"Your hand was too close to uh, something and I was getting kinda flustered."

Tyler stifled a laugh and pressed a kiss to Josh's nose. "Would you rather I put my hands here instead?" He teased. Putting his pencil down and letting his hand slide up the inside of Josh's thigh. Josh gasped loudly and immediately pulled his hand away.

"Stop it." He said playfully smacking Tyler's arm before turning back to his work as Tyler laughed at how red he'd gone.

"I'm sorry." He said before kissing Josh's neck slowly and then resting his chin on his shoulder. Picking up his pencil and finishing his math homework. His thumb brushed across Josh's knuckles where their other hands stayed locked together.

When Tyler saw Josh chewing on his pencil he glanced over to look at which question he was on.

"Divide the whole thing by x." He said lowly in Josh's ear so as not to embarrass him, as everyone else at their table had gone relatively silent. The star wars/trek debate had ended with an "agree to disagree".

Josh blushed and nodded, before carrying on with the homework. Tyler only took a few more minutes to complete his before he turned his attention to the lunch tray he and Josh had piled with food to share. He opened a bag of chips and began trying to feed Josh.

"Literally why are you like this?" Mark said with an expression of mixed disgusted and bafflement. Tyler flicked him an innocent look before stuffing chips into his own mouth.

Jenna rolled her eyes and gave Hayley a look across the table, causing her to laugh.

Josh laughed as he tried to recoil from where Tyler was trying to force more chips into his mouth. Mark was about to complain again but Ashley bounded over to their table, practically vibrating with excitement.

"Someone's happy?" Hayley commented and Ashley grinned widely.

"Guess who just got accepted to NYU." She practically squealed and Hayley instantly gasped and pulled her into a hug, the whole table breaking out into cheers having known that was her first-choice school.
