Old Friends [{Joshler}]

When the forehead's got money

(Tyler's pov)

Brendon grabs my coat off of the coat rack and waits for me to put it on. Once my coat is on, he grabs my hand, and pulls open the door. I glance at Josh to see if he is jealous, but he is invested in Debby. I don't know why, but I want him to pay attention to me. I mean, the least he could do is be phased by the fact that he just ran into a boyfriend from high school! It's literally been 6 years. Ugh.

I pull the gloves out of my pockets, and Brendon has his on. We walk down the beautiful, snowy oasis of New York, hand in hand. He looks so good with the snow falling in his hair, and landing on his eyelashes. Man.

"Brendon?" We've kind of been awkwardly holding hands, not saying anything. I was creepily staring at him. But now I'm acting nonchalant.

"Yeah, Tyler?"

"This is awkward."

"Ok, listen, it was less awkward before you pointed it out." He laughs, his cheeks and nose turning red as an apple.

This makes me smile. He's so gorgeous! He pulls me over on the sidewalk and turns to face me, fear in his eyes. "Uh, behind me, do you see that guy back there?"

"With the brown hair?"

"Yep."

"That's Ryan. We dated in highschool."

"I guess it's a reunion for everyone today."

"He's with my other ex from high school. Dallon."

I laugh. "The tall one. Alright. Just say hi! It was high school!"

He looks back at them, and then at me. "Uhhhhh, no."

"Why?"

"Because, I was dating them at the same time. Without the other's knowledge. I'm different now, but I was kind of a douche canoe."

I turn to look behind me, where I see Josh and Debby, standing. They both look great in the snow, but a weird urge takes over me. "Brendon, make them jealous. They are looking at us."

He looks into my eyes. "Alright. Permission to kiss you?"

"Permission granted."

He comes in for a short kiss, but I hold him there longer, not that he's complaining. When I slowly pull away, the snow is all over Brendon, but he's smiling wide.

He looks over his shoulder to see their reactions, and I look over mine. Debby is checking out some guy who's walking by, and Josh is staring straight at me. Our eyes meet, and Josh quickly looks away. I should've winked.

I turn to look at Brendon, who's eyes are screaming. "Tyler, they're coming!"

I look over his shoulder and the couple is approaching. "Let's just go." I grab his hand again and turn to go the other direction, but remember Josh is that way, so I cross the street. Since it's snowing, there isn't really many cars. Well, it's New York, there's cars, but they are driving slow, so we can cross.
