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.
