After about an hour and a half of Josh explaining the math homework, and Tyler doing it, Josh gave Tyler some extra problems to do, to make sure he understood it. 

Josh wrote down 3 problems, easy, medium, and hard. He handed the paper to Tyler with a pencil. He was pleased to see how he pretty much flew through the first two. He watched his face as Tyler contently stared at the paper, he could tell Tyler was so focused, determined to get it right. 

Josh was doing this for free, taking time out of his day to tutor the weird shy kid in his math class, Tyler could've been wasting his time, but he really wanted to learn, and he really was lost. 

He stared at the side of Tyler's face, he never really noticed it until now.. but he was so pretty. His eyelashes that fluttered against his rosy cheeks, his plump lips, perfect nose and white teeth, that were a little bit crooked but so cute. Not to mention perfect body. Thin upper body and waist, but muscular veiny arms that Josh had to admit he was drooling over. Thick thighs, thin legs, and a nice a-

"I got it!" Tyler yelled happily as he jumped up handing Josh the paper with all of the math answers on it, breaking Josh out of his little trance. He smiled and took the paper, checking over all of the answers. 

Tyler was waiting anxiously, playing with his fingers and watching the side of Josh's face, his turn to admire him now. His features were so soft, his face, his fluffy hair. Not to mention his body, oh Josh's body. He was so muscular, had a perfect body, but was so cute and so pure, he bubbly, almost awkward personality fit him so well and made him so cute, but hot at the same time. 

Josh looked over at Tyler with the biggest smile on his face, "You got it!" he said happily. Tyler's eyes lit up, and Josh had never seen a brighter smile on anyone's face. 

"I did it!" Tyler yelled, falling back against the bed happily, and at that moment as they made eye contact, both beaming and sporting matching blushing cheeks, Josh realized that he didn't need anything out of this. Seeing how happy Tyler was and his reaction to getting the problem right, was priceless. No amount of money could compare to that in his eyes. 

"Yes, you did," Josh said. As he kept looking in his eyes, he noticed something. Tyler's eyes were so broken, so sad. Even if he had a smile on his face, even if Josh knew he was happy at that moment, his eyes said otherwise. Damage had truly been done to this poor boy. 

And Josh, hated seeing him like that. Someone as sweet as him should never feel like that. Someone as cute as him, he deserved so much more. Why hadn't Josh helped him or noticed him all this time? Why? Why? Why?

Josh leaned in and pretty much just tackled him into a hug, Tyler laying back against the bed but wrapping his arms around Josh's strong build. He let himself melt into the touch, it was everything he didn't know he needed.

They hugged for a while before Josh finally pulled away and looked at Tyler with blushy cheeks and a shy expression. "I'm so proud of you," he said. Tyler smirked, never seeing the shy side of Josh. 

"Thank you, but it's all you, you're the one who got me to this point," Tyler told him. He smiled at him, sitting up on the bed next to Josh, Josh smiling at him. 

"You're actually doing really well, all the other stuff you really don't need to know because we're not being tested on it anytime soon, but if anything ever comes up I'll help you through it," Josh told him. "We're starting a new unit next week anyway."

Tyler nodded, but got a little scared. Did Josh think Tyler could actually pay attention and learn a new unit by himself?

Josh closed up his books and binders, putting them in his backpack. "I guess we're done.  "Unless there's anything else you wanna go over? Even if it's in another class I'll help you."

Tyler shook his head, but his heart fluttered at how sweet Josh was. "No, I don't have anyone else. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then? Maybe the library will be open." 

Josh furrowed his eyebrows, frowning. "You don't have to leave or anything.. you can stay. I have nothing going on. We could just hang out?"

Tyler's heart fucking stopped. Someone wanted to hang out with him. SOMEONE WANTED TO HANG OUT WITH HIM WHAT.

He wanted to cry, tears of happiness of course, he finally maybe almost had a friend. "I mean, you don't have to.." Josh said. "YES!" Tyler said a little too enthusiastically. He tackled Josh into a hug, without even thinking about it, but feeling his warm arms around his body, making him feel so safe, so protected, we're everything he didn't know he was missing. 

Reality eventually struck Tyler again though, and he pulled away, realizing what he just did, oh god, Josh was going to hate him wasn't he? He was going to be completely and utterly disgusted and annoyed by Tyler touching him. 

But Josh looked at Tyler in his eyes, and he had a smile, and he looked in his eyes, oh those eyes, oh was he obsessed. 

"Come on, I wanna show you something," Josh said as he stood up, holding his hand out for Tyler, and Tyler just stared at it confused, did Josh wanna hold his hand or something?

"Take my hand you weirdo," Josh said jokingly and laced their fingers together. Tyler blushed, and he took his hand smiling at him, for some reason when Josh called him those named he didn't mind it as much as when everyone else did.
