Limerence {Joshler} [COMPLETED]

54.listen

A/N: The photo doesn't really match too well with the chapter but whatever. It's cute.

"Tyler?"
"Y-yes, momma?" The boy answered after he had swallowed his last bite of icecream.
"I'd like to have a picture of you and Joshua. If that's alright with you", she asked while Joshua was bringing back dishes to the kitchen en making some coffee. Tyler nodded, "I-I guess."

When Joshua returned his mom asked him too and of course, Joshua was fine with that. So his mom looked for her phone, Joshua dragging Tyler towards the small fireplace. "J-just d-don't embarrass m-me!" Tyler nudged Joshua's shoulder playfully. "Me? How do I embarrass you?" Joshua acted insulted. "W-well y-you get all k-kissy 'nd s-stuff", Tyler mumbled. Joshua laughed, wrapping his arms around the boy and nuzzling his nose into his neck. Tyler just tried to escape Joshua's strong grip, laughing but anxious his mom would walk in. And of course, she did.

"J-Joshua! Lemme g-go!" He laughed and Joshua caved and let the boy go, pouting. Tyler's mom just played along. "What is wrong Joshua?" Meanwhile she placed Tyler in front of the fireplace, brushing some crumbs from his shirt. Joshua stepped besides him, wrapping his arm around the boy's shoulder. "Tyler doesn't want me to kiss him for the photo." Joshua answered.

Tyler nearly choked, his face melting off his skull. Did Joshua really say that? Oh gosh, how he wished he could just disappear right now. But his mom just laughed, and got ready to snap a photo. "N-not now m-momma!" Tyler hid his cheeks behind his hands. "It's alright, darling", Joshua whispered. "I love your pink cheeks." He friendly squeezed the boys shoulder smiling up to Tylers mom. "We're ready, right Ty?" Tyler looked up to Joshua, then softly nodded towards his mom.

His mom snapped a few photo's, Joshua being casual and beautiful and fine and well, himself. Tyler being awkward and uncomfortable, and well... himself. Then Joshua smiled at him, he smiled too, looking up to the taller man. Tyler lost himself in the man's enchanting eyes again, for a second forgetting about his mom. Joshua took advantage of that, his hands softly on the boys neck and jaws as he pecked a small kiss on the younger's lips. "Got it!" His mom then exclaimed, disturbing Tyler out of his trance, realizing what just happened.
"Y-you're m-mean!" He whined, pushing Joshua away. But the older man didn't let him get pushed away, and hugged him tight. "Sorrryyyyy", he whispered, knowing the boy wasn't angry, just a bit embarrassed.

Tyler's mom had insisted on leaving after coffee, so the two boys were hanging on the couch, stomachs full and tired.
"Oh! I g-got you a p-present!" Tyler suddenly remembered. He jumped up and headed towards the kitchen, giving Joshua enough time to grab his gift from underneath the coffeetable.
Tyler walked back in the room, present in one hand, carrying Doodle on his other arm. "You bought me a cat!? My cat!?" Joshua acted overexcited, clapping his hands. "S-shut u-up", the boy mumbled, proud smirk on his lips for saying that. "Oww, bratty." Joshua huffed before sitting up straight and laughing. Tyler sat down next to him, Doodle finding a place on his lap to crash down immediatly.

"D-don't laugh a-at it o-okay?" Tyler asked, looking up to Joshua with a slight fear in his eyes. "Laugh? Why would I laugh..." Joshua spoke softly as Tyler pressed a carefully wrapped gift into his hands. He slowly unpacked it, finding a clear case in it, reading the words written on the CD. He smiled. "Can I listen to it? Now?" Tyler nodded.

Joshua walked towards the cd player, sitting cross-legged on the floor putting the CD in. Tyler held his breath, so anxious. So very, very anxious. Then the CD started playing.

"Joshua, t-this one is for y-you."
...

"Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you..."

Tyler chewed his lip anxiously till it started bleeding, watching Joshua for as much as he could since the man's back was towards him.
Joshua listened in silence, and Tyler was freaking out. He must hate it, why did he think this was a good idea? This was stupid, he was so stupid! He should have-... Until the song was done, and there was this huge, heavy silence.

Tyler pushed Doodle off of his lap, got up from the couch cautiously, softly walking towards the pink haired man. Joshua looked up to Tyler, and the boy noticed his wet cheeks. "D-don't c-cry, I'm so-", but Joshua shushed him and reached out to his hands. Tyler got the hint and dropped to his knees between Joshua's legs. He softly brushed a tear away from the man's cheek.
Joshua just pulled him closer, his face pressing into the boy's chest, strong arms wrapped around him. "That's the most beautiful, sweetest thing I have ever heard", he whispered. "The sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me." He tried to wipe away the tears that were left, Tylers arms now gently closing over Joshua's back. "Thank you so, so much... You are beautiful, Tyler Joseph", he pulled back a bit and got the boy's face in his hands. "You are beautiful and amazing", he took a deep breath before getting back to hugging the boy tight. "And I love you."
