Crush (Joshler)

19. Vulnerable

Hi sorry for a late update!
Guess who picked their contact name in Tyler's phone??? guess whos who!!!
Wait to start the song!

Josh and Tyler didn't talk the rest of Saturday night. In fact, Josh texted Tyler multiple times but he never got a reply. Sunday night, he got worried and went over to Tyler's house. He climbed up to his window and jumped in. He saw Tyler there, sleeping like he had been sleeping since the party. Josh felt guilty about his actions. He left Tyler alone at a party, and let him go home with someone that probably told him that Josh was just acting out. Guilt seemed to pool in his gut as he watched Tyler sleep quietly. He looked at his face and noticed his eyes were puffy and tear streams were dried up on his face.

Before Josh could do anything to wake Tyler up, his bed room door opened. Josh froze as he saw someone who looked almost like Tyler walk in. Josh assumed it was his brother because he walked in with a glass of water and placed it on Tylers dresser next to him. His brother glanced at Josh once before covering Tyler with his blanket.

"You're Josh?"

Josh nodded immediately and watched him look directly into his eyes from across the room.

"I'm Zack, his older brother." Zack said.

"Is he..okay?" Josh asked like a dumbass.

"Ever since Saturday evening, he's been pretty upset. A friend of his brought him home and he seemed just nervous. Maybe you can try and talk to him." Zack said.

Zack quietly walked out of the room, leaving Josh alone with Tyler's sleeping self. Josh felt terrible, these past few days he's been such an asshole to his friends and to his boyfriend. Josh sighed and sat softly on Tyler's bed. He reached over and caressed his face and examined his tear stained cheeks. Josh felt terrible. He watched Tyler carefully sleep and wondered how the fuck he ended up hurting him this bad. He stayed quiet until he heard buzzing sounds coming from his phone. Josh wasn't one to look through anyones phone but it kept going off. Maybe a peek wouldn't hurt.

Josh opened the phone, and clicked on the 70 messages Tyler had. It was a group chat called We hate Josh but love him still. It had all of Josh's friends and some of Tyler's friends that were at the football game. Josh was now interested in this chat and started scrolling down.

Bren 🐝: How's Tyler?

Geoff: Idk, last time we spoke was at like 2 this afternoon. I'm kinda worried about him. I know he said he was going to take a nap but that was 6hrs ago.

Dadlon: Honestly, Josh has been a real fucking ass wipe...

Geoff: Think im gonna go over later, im worried.

Before Josh could read anymore messages, Tyler stirred in his sleep and Josh quickly put his phone back where it was. Tyler's eyes opened softly and stared at Josh.

"When did you get here?" Tyler asked.

"About ten minutes ago, you okay?" Josh asked softly.

"Mhm." Tyler hummed before closing his eyes again. This concerned Josh even more.

"Hey, Ty! Stay awake. Have you eaten anything?" Josh asked.

"No, just sleeping." Tyler mumbled.

"Okay, cmon. Lets get you up and get some food in you." Josh said.

Tyler whined and stayed in his bed. Josh rolled his eyes and picked Tyler up over his shoulder. Tyler grumbled and tried to wiggle out of his grasp but it was no use. Josh held onto him tightly and smiled.

"I hate you." Tyler said.

"Get over it princess."

Start the song it's 'New Girl' by labrinth
(Youll be seeing this song again! it matches well with Tyler and Josh's soft moments)

Josh brought Tyler into the kitchen and sat him down on the kitchen counter. Josh then opened the fridge and got everything out to make a sandwich for Tyler. Once it was done, He cut it in half and gave one half to Tyler. Tyler looked at the food and pushed it away with his hand.

"Why aren't you eating?" Josh asked.

"Not hungry." Tyler said softly.

"What if I feed it to you, then would be you be hungry?" Josh said with a smirk.

"Maybe." Tyler replied.

Josh sat down next to him and moved Tyler's legs onto his lap. Tyler rolled his eyes seeming annoyed but Josh knew he really wasn't. Josh grabbed the sandwich and put it front of Tyler's mouth. Tyler glared at him and took one bite. Josh smiled and kissed Tyler's cheek.

"Now, if you'd stop being a brat and continue eating then maybe i'll get us some milkshakes real quick and have a sleepover." Josh said with a smirk.

"You're lying." Tyler glared.

"Scouts honor. Tell you what, i'll even put on The Fault In Our Stars as a 'sorry for being an asshole.'" Josh said.

Tyler smiled and grabbed the sandwich from Josh. Josh laughed as he watched Tyler down the food in front of him. Josh kept his promise and went to get milkshakes for him and Tyler. When he got back, he saw Tyler there, waiting at the foot of the door for Josh to get back. Tyler looked up and smiled softly at Josh.

"Cmon, lets go watch this movie." Josh said to Tyler.

Tyler nodded and walked up to his room with Josh right behind him. He placed both drinks on the small table Tyler had in his room. Tyler sat on his bed and just stared at Josh.

"You okay?" Josh asked.

Tyler nodded and sat quietly. Josh turned on Tyler's tv, looking away from him for a quick second. When Josh looked back, Tyler was standing right in front of him. Tyler looked vulnerable and Josh has never seen him like this. Tyler stared into Josh's eyes and soft wrapped his arms around him. Josh saw a small twinkle of love in Tyler's eyes as he leaned in and kissed Josh softly. Josh deepened the kiss and didn't want to stop. He did though, to be sure that Tyler was actually okay with it. Of course this happened before but with Tyler's vulnerability, he needed Tyler to say it was okay.

"Hey, slow down okay? I'm not leaving you." Josh said softly.

"I know, i trust you completely." Tyler replied.

Josh smiled and laid Tyler down on the bed, leaving the milkshakes completely forgotten.

I promise no actual smut in this story!!!
