Josh curls up on his couch, a knee to his chin while his other foot rests in Jon's lap. The smell of nail polish is high in the air as Jon swipes a coat of a light pink color across one of his toe nails.

"I've never done this before." Jon says quietly as he stares at the nail he's just painted.

Josh curls his toes, smiling. "You're doing great." And it's not a lie, Jon hasn't smeared any of the pretty varnish on his skin despite his application being shaky.

"Yeah, thanks dude." He grabs Josh's foot and inspects his job before setting it back in his lap. He sighs. "I still don't know why i'm the one doing this, you do have working hands."

"It always turns out better when someone else does it." Josh smiles and inspects his toes, stretching his legs out.

"Still, im sure you could've found someone better then me."

Josh just shrugs and he thinks of Tyler. He's sort of stealing his brand by painting his toes. "Sure, but you live right across from me."

Jon gently pushes Josh's feet out of his lap. "Hey, they're still drying!" Josh frowns and Jon stands up.

He rolls his eyes at Josh's protest. "I'm just getting a red bull, this is exhausting."

"I want one too." Josh grins.

Jon walks into the kitchen and Josh listens as he rummages around through his fridge. It's getting late, evident by the dark sky outside. Josh isn't even really that tired, he's having fun with Jon, his only actual friend besides Tyler and Brendon.

Tyler who hasn't texted him in a week. He hasn't even seen either of them at the bar and it makes him nervous. He misses them and to fill the void of not seeing the two men who've made his life so interesting over the past month, he's spending time with his best friend and having too much sex.

"Jon." Josh says after a moment, watching as Jon is comes back into view with two large cans of red bull, perspiration cooling down the sides.

"Yeah?" He says as he passes Josh his respectful can.

"I kind of like these two guys." Josh says, he smiles. It's nice to admit that he likes them out loud. It's a good reminder too, he doesn't bother mentioning that he hasn't seen them in far too long.

Jon nods, taking a sip of his red bull. "And you want to have sex with them?"

Josh rubs his forehead, his cheeks are pink. "No."

"No?" Josh raises his eyebrows. He knows Josh too well and there's no way he can hide the fact that if Tyler or Brendon initiated anything with him that he'd be dropping his pants in seconds.

"I mean, yes I do.. want that." Josh groans and leans back in the couch. "But I also want to date them." Jon gives him a weird look. "I want to date both of them and do all that stupid romantic shit."

"Okay." Jon hums, moving over to the kitchen and sitting on top of the counter. He swings his legs like a child. "Yeah, so what's the problem?"

"I don't know." Josh sighs, he has no idea. He pops open the tab of his red bull.
