senior year - part six

"Pleeeaaseee Mark, pretty please? For me?" Jenna whined following behind Mark closely as he sat at their usual lunch table.

Mark let out a defeated groan. "Fine."

Jenna squealed and shook his arm excitedly, repeating her thanks over and over until Mark told her to get off him already.

Josh watched the exchange with confusion as Jenna scurried off to grab her own lunch. "What was that about?"

"She wants me to help her with yearbook committee, taking photos and stuff." Mark grumbled, resting his head on his hand.

Josh grimaced. "Good luck with that."

"Thanks." Mark huffed, before angrily biting into his apple.

Before Josh could respond he was grabbed from behind making him jump. He turned to see Tyler sliding in beside him, one hand looping around his waist and pulling him close so he could press sloppy kisses onto his cheek. Josh scrunched up his face and pushed him off playfully. "You scared me."

"I'm sorry baby. Can I make it up to you with this?" He said casually as he pulled a ticket out of his pocket.

Josh looked at it confused, carefully taking it and reading it. When he looked up Tyler was grinning widely at him, waiting for an answer.

"Ty?" Josh asked, and Tyler was quick to hold out his own ticket.

"You're gonna be my date, right?"

"Yes, of course!" Josh was quick to say, a giddy feeling in his stomach. "But, you didn't need to buy my ticket, I could've done it." He said and Tyler shook his head. He pulled Josh in by his cheeks and kissed him softly.

Mark made a noise of disgust, but they ignored him.

"I wanted to buy it for you, this is our last prom before we graduate it has to be special. I was gonna do one of those proposal thingies but after helping Brendon with his I realised that was probably overkill." Tyler replied casually, waving a dismissive hand and turning back to his food to begin eating.

Josh watched him lovingly for a minute before shifting right up next to him and wrapping his arms around his shoulders. Tyler smiled at him and Josh let his eyes linger on Tyler's lips for a second before he pressed their lips together firmly, cementing their affection.

"Put him down Josh, you don't know where he's been." Ashley said as she sat down at the table. Josh finally pulled away from Tyler, blushing but they let their foreheads rest together as they chuckled at the interruption.

"Why do you have chunks of glitter in your hair?" Mark asked Ashley, picking out a gold star-shaped piece of glitter and examining it.

Ashley blushed and brushed her hands through her hair to get rid of it. "Oh, uh, no reason."

All three guys stared her down until she finally caved. She couldn't contain her smile. "If you must know, Gerald asked me to prom just now."

"What did he do, throw confetti at you and demand you go with him?" Mark snorted and Josh kicked him under the table.

"Actually, he put the question and some glitter inside a balloon and made me pop it... it was more romantic than it sounds, okay?" She dismissed and Tyler and Mark tried to hide their laughs. Josh lightly smacked Tyler upside the head.

"Don't be rude, Mr. 'Promposals-are-too-much-hassle'." Josh berated and Tyler pouted, sticking his bottom lip out. Josh gave him a look and put his hand over Tyler's mouth. "No fair, you know that's adorable." Josh said pushing their forehead's together and Tyler blinked at him innocently.
