when they both pulled away slowly, josh's eyes remained closed contently. that was the best kiss he ever shared with someone. it was slow, and passionate, and filled with so many emotions that josh had yet to let out.

a large grin was on tyler's face as he stared at josh, examining all of his flaws and features that made him perfect.

"wh-what w-was that for?" josh finally said in a teasing manner after a few seconds and opened his eyes, meeting tyler's soft gaze.

"shut up, josh." tyler teased back and pushed his arm playfully.

suddenly, they could hear the bell ring from the field, so tyler got up and held his hand out for josh to take, which he gladly accepted.

josh felt lighter than he used to be, and tyler pulled him up a little too hard, causing their chests to collide with each other.

josh quickly grabbed onto the front of tyler's hoodie to steady himself so he didn't fall back down.

josh looked up at tyler innocently, a small blush creeping on his face as tyler smiled down at him.

"oops?"

josh chuckled before letting go of tyler's hoodie and brushing himself off.

"g-good job, j-joseph." josh playfully rolled his eyes and looked up at tyler again.

"hey, leave me alone. I didn't do shit to you."

tyler glanced at the school building and sighed quietly.

"do you want to skip the rest of the day and go somewhere?" he looked down at josh, a soft smile on his face.

josh nodded excitedly. "wh-where would w-we g-go?"

tyler shrugged. "we could hang out at my house. or yours." then tyler gasped. "we could go get taco bell!"

"i-i don't h-have a-any money though." josh frowned and looked at the ground.

"oh, josh, don't worry about that. taco bell is cheap and have my card on me. don't feel bad. now let's go!"

tyler grabbed josh's hand and started running across the parking lot, josh trying not to stumble over his feet while giggling like crazy.

"t-tyler! s-slow d-down!" josh yelled, but tyler didn't and kept running until they got to his car, tyler panting lightly as he held the door open for josh.

"o-oh, wh-what a g-gentleman." josh teased and climbed into the car before tyler ran to the driver's side and hot in starting the car.

"taco bell, here we come!"

"t-tyler! i'm t-too sh-short!" josh pouted as he tried one last time to reach the cups.

"oh my god." tyler snorted as he watched josh struggle and bursted out laughing when he almost fell.

"i-it's n-not funny! n-not everyo-one can b-be 5'11", t-tyler!" josh crossed his arms over his chest and huffed.

"oh but josh, it is hilarious." tyler said, snorting again as he tried to hold in a laugh when josh threw a pencil at him, but missed.

"i-i h-hate y-you s-so m-much!" josh groaned.

tyler stood up from the couch and walked over to the kitchen where josh was pouting like a 4 year old.

tyler bent down on the floor. "get on my shoulders."

"e-excuse me?"

"get on my shoulders." tyler said again, smiling.

"f-fine." josh got on tyler's shoulders and he stood straight up, josh gripping tyler's short for dear life.

"do you feel tall yet?"

"n-no, i f-feel t-terrified th-that i'm g-going to d-die." josh stuttered.

"dude, relax. i'm not gonna drop you."

"y-you b-better n-not."

tyler let josh grab 2 cups from the cupboard and then let him down, josh letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding in as he clung to tyler.

"i-i'm n-never d-doing that again." josh shook his head and grabbed onto to tyler's arm.

"josh, relax. you don't have to. hey, at least you got us the cups."

"sh-shut up, t-tyler."

tyler smirked. "ya know, i don't really want anything to drink anymore."

josh looked up at him, his mouth fell open.

"t-tyler i-i swear t-to g-god!" josh yelled and that's when tyler took off running, josh following close behind.

tyler ran upstairs, laughing his ass off as josh ran as fast as he could to catch up with tyler.

tyler ran into his ran and josh jumped on him, tackling him onto the bed.

"y-you m-motherfucker!" josh yelled playfully and hit tyler's chest lightly. "after a-all o-of my st-struggling a-and you just r-reject it. r-rude!"

tyler laughed loudly. it was amusing to him seeing josh so 'mad'.

"it's not my fault you're short!"

"h-how d-dare you! u-using m-my height a-against me."

"that's the only I can make fun of you for, though." tyler deadpanned, making josh raise an eyebrow, his cheeks going pink like his hair.

tyler sat up with josh still on him and looked at him with a soft smile.

"seriously. your pink hair is super soft and suits you well because of how shy you are, and your brown eyes are so beautiful to look at. and i love the way they crinkle up in the corners whenever you smile. your little nose is super cute," tyler paused and pressed a small kiss to the tip of his nose. "and i love your nose ring and your gauges and your lips..." tyler trailed off at the end before pressing a soft kiss to josh's lips, josh immediately melting into it.

they pulled away and josh wrapped his arms around tyler, resting his head in the crook of his neck.

"thank you." josh muttered. no one has never said anything that nice to him before, and it made his heart melt since it came from the person that stole his air catcher.

he just hoped he could eventually steal tyler's.
