After giving it A LOT of thought, Tyler had finally agreed on joining Sarah in the crowd. They'd be front row, and Sarah promised about 10.000 times that she would stay with him and they would be near the exit. So eventually Tyler agreed, anxious but also kind of excited to see Joshua play from inside the crowd. 

So a few minutes before the show started Sarah grasped Tyler's hand tightly and dragged him along into the crowd. They made their way over to the barricades, slightly on the left side of the stage. Because thats where Joshua's drums were and Tyler insisted on standing right there.
"Tyler? Do you have your phone?" Sarah asked as soon as they were at their spots. Tyler nodded, questioning why she asked. "Can I have it for a second?" Tyler reluctantly let go of her hand, grabbing his phone out of his pocket. He unlocked it for her, blushing at the background of their christmasphoto. "Cute", she mumbled with a soft smile on her lips. She typed away, Tyler curious to what she was doing. Within a minute she handed his phone back. She smiled. "I put my and Brendon's number in your contacts." Tyler frowned, slightly confused. Why? She seemed to read his face. "Because you're our friend now too Tyler. And we care for you and Joshua. So if you ever need anything, and for some reason you can't reach Joshua, just try Brendon or me. Okay?"
Tyler felt a blush and a smile creeping up his face. His friends too? So they didnt just tolerante him because he was with Joshua and well, Joshua was their friend. They actually liked him? "O-okay. Thank y-you!"
"Don't thank me, that's what friends do! Send us both a text later, so we have your number too, alright?" Tyler nodded happily.

Exactly at that time the lights dropped and his heart skipped. His eyes grew wide, and Sarah caught it een while the darkness fell over them. She quickly reached for his hand, holding it tightly. She smiled sweetly. "We will watch our boys together", and she winked. Tyler's heart swelled with pride when Joshua and Brendon came onto the stage. Our boys. How was he so lucky?

Joshua sat down at his stool behind the drums after taking a moment to absorb the crowds enthusiastic cheering. Brendon did a small talk, thanking everyone for being here and making some jokes, the way only Brendon could. But Tyler only looked at Joshua, being so infatuated that he didnt even notice the girls behind him screaming and fangirling when he winked their way, but only it was directed at Tyler. Tyler knew. He saw it and it made his cheeks so warm, and smile so big. The girls behind him didn't and got all giggly.

Sarah never let go of his hand, well maybe only a few times just to switch the hand she was holding. They watched with their hearts full of pride, and Tyler loved the little smiles Brendon and Sarah exchanged during the show. For a second it made him a tiny bit jealous, until he realized Joshua did exactly the same. The yellow haired man drummed his heart out, his eyes squeezed shut, head fallen back while he bit his bottom lip. It stirred in Tyler's stomach, the boy biting his lip too while staring at his boyfriend intensely. He was almost a bit startled when Joshua then opened his eyes and stared directly at him. It was right that second that the lyrics of the songs were all for you, at a moment that the beat dropped and Joshua winked at Tyler while pointing his drumsticks his way. Cheesy, maybe, but Tyler was about to explode from the gesture, so happy, so proud, so in disbelieve and so very much in love.

The show ended way too soon, and to Tyler's surprise he hadn't felt anxious for a second. Sarah stuck with him the whole time, and apart drom that Joshua had so much attention for him he felt on top of the clouds. Sarah and Tyler waited patiently for the most of the people to leave to the lounge, where Brendon and Joshua would do a little signing after their performance. "T-thank you for k-keeping me company", Tyler started once he was confident enough to let go of Sarah's hand, since most people had left by now. Again she smiled her beautiful reassuring smile. "Thank you too Tyler. I always had to watch the shows on my own. It's a lot more fun to share." She nudged his shoulder softly. "Did you see how your boyfriend winked at you? And the girls behind us thought it was for them?" She laughed. Tyler laughed, but stopped just as quickly. Wait, what? What if he didn't wink at Tyler? But at those girls? They were pretty after all. And what if-. "Hey! Stop thinking!" She waved her hand in front of Tyler's eyes. "It was meant dor you, and not for those girls. Okay? It was as clear as day." Tyler frowned but nodded softly. "I g-guess."
"It was Tyler. Don't worry. I had to get used to it too."
"U-used to..?"
"Brendon being so populair and 'wanted' and there's always girls swarming around them after shows and they pretty much offer themselfs right then and there. It's weird and it makes you insecure, makes you wonder if they will ever take an offer."
Tyler shifted his weight from one foot to another nervously, seeing her point. That would be hard. He was easily jealous, but he was also sure he could trust Joshua. Right? Joshua was with him.. because he only wanted Tyler. Right?
"Really, don't worry. I know both Brendon and Joshua long enough to know they wouldn't forget about us and hurt us. Really Ty, don't worry. Tour boyfriend is crazy about you and no other girl or guy is gonna change that."
It did make Tyler feel a bit better. Sarah was already with Brendon for so long. And she knew Joshua so muxh longer than he did. It was just difficult to believe Joshua would choose him over all those other beautiful people.
