Jyrus Oneshots - Part I (COMPLETED)

The Gossip

This is the fourth Jasher oneshot.

During an interview at the launch of Season 2, Joshua is asked many questions, but one in particular has everyone talking.

Joshua POV

I was super excited for today. We were all going to the launch of Season 2. I knew that everyone would be looking forward to what was coming up.

When I arrived I met the others. Peyton was the first to greet me.

Peyton: Hi Josh, it's good to see you.

Me: Hey, great to see you too.

Before I could speak to Sofia or Asher, I was dragged away to do a quick interview. It took me by surprise that we didn't have much time to prepare.

Interviewer: So, the promos look interesting, can you give us any hints?

Me: You'll have to wait *smiling mischievously*.

Interviewer: Are you happy with how Cyrus' storylines are going?

Me: Definitely, he's developed so much.

I was pleased with how I was answering the questions quickly and without having to think of the answers. Just as I was relaxing, I was asked something that took me by surprise.

Interviewer: Is it true you're dating Asher?

Me: W-what?

Interviewer: You must know about the rumour that's going around.

Me: I don't know what you mean.

I ended the interview and walked away, wanting to get as far away from everyone as I could. It was a confusing time, and I didn't know how to deal with it. Sofia and Peyton walked over and saw that I was in distress.

Sofia: What's going on?

Me: Apparently people believe that I'm going out with Asher.

Peyton: Oh, I see. But why is that a bad thing?

Me: Because we aren't going out, Asher isn't even gay!

I felt my blood boil as I hated when people talked about me behind my back. Why could they not just leave me alone.

Sofia: But if Asher was and if he liked you, would you be so upset?

Sofia and Peyton were clearly interested in the situation and I had never thought about any possibility of Asher liking me. When I thought about it though, I felt confused.

Me: No, I would be really happy.

Peyton: I wonder if they will ask Asher the same question.

Me: If they do, I bet he'll give a better answer than me.

Asher POV

I have to say, this day had been so confusing, I had been asked several questions about the show, to which I was careful about my answers, but I was asked on personal question.

Interviewer: So, you and Joshua are together them?

As soon as I was asked that, my heart stopped. I don't know where this started, and I couldn't answer the question. I left and was met by Peyton, Sofia and Joshua.

Me: That was the weirdest interview in the history of interviews!

Joshua: You're telling me.

Peyton: What did they ask you?

Me: I don't know if I should say.

Sofia: Go on, we want to know.

Me: They asked if Joshua and I were together!

I looked over to the others, but was most interested in Joshua's reaction. He looked a little bit distant, yet strangely assured.

Joshua: They asked me if it was true I was dating you, Asher.

Me: Where has this come from? I don't understand.

Peyton: Perhaps because of Jonah and Cyrus?

Sofia: That must be it.

Looking at the girls, I saw the logic of their reasoning. However, this was little comfort to me.

Joshua: Does it make you angry that people think we're going out?

Looking at Joshua in confusion, I saw that he was worried about asking that question. I have to say, I have always had a bit of a thing for him, but I tried to ignore it.

Me: No, I don't see it as a bad thing.

Joshua: Then why are we both so upset about it?

Me: You're upset?

Joshua: Well, a little. Mainly because I hate people discussing my personal life.

Me: I feel the same in all honesty.

Joshua: I guess we're making a big deal out of--.

I was quick to notice that Joshua had a pained look on his face. It was really difficult to look at him, because it felt like my fault.

Me: What?

Joshua I was going to say we're making a big deal out of nothing, but I don't want it to be... nothing.

Without realising, a smile had crept onto my face. This was quickly brought to my attention.

Sofia: That's a confident smile.

Peyton: Wait a minute, you don't want it to be nothing either, do you?

Me: I... okay, I must admit, the thought of being with Joshua makes me really happy.

Joshua's head shot up and I felt myself trembling. This was going to be a very big moment, which could change everything.

Joshua POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Does it meant that Asher actually wanted to be with me? I wasn't sure.

Me: You really mean it?

Asher: I do. I wish I had said something sooner, but I was not sure what you would think.

Me: In that case, without sounding weird, would you, maybe, like to hang out sometime?

Asher: Just to be clear, are you asking me on a date?

I loved Asher, but boy he could be clueless sometimes. I thought it was sweet, so I didn't argue, and answered his question.

Me: Yes, Ashy will you go out with me?

Asher: Yes Joshy, I would love to go out with you.

I was taken by surprise by two arms pulling me close. Asher was properly hugging me now, I can't tell you how warm and comfortable it was, but I can tell you in confirmed we definitely loved each other.

Hope you liked this one.
