Joshler time

Decemeber
"Hey", Tyler said to Josh when Josh opened the door for Tyler to walk in, the morning after Pete and Patrick 'got together.'
It's now Saturday, and Josh and Tyler had been planning on sleeping over at each other's house for a while now. Dealing that Josh's parents are now out of town for the weekend, Josh took the opportunity to invite Tyler over.
"Hey, welcome to mi casa" Josh said with a smile.
Tyler returned the smile, and almost like it was his own home, he made himself up the stairs onto Josh's room, setting his backpack full of clothes near 'his' nightstand.
This was it, this was truly it. Josh was going to tell Tyler how he felt.
"Listen Tyler, I need to talk to you--" Josh started but was cut off by Tyler crying. "Woah, Woah, Tyler are you okay?" Josh made his way over to sit next to Tyler, wrapping his arms around Tyler, and leaning his head so it's resting on Tyler's shoulder. Tyler didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around Josh's waist, and started explaining. "J-Josh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry Josh. I ruined this, what were you going to say?" Tyler said while wiping his eyes. Josh faltered, he was confused, worried, and just taking precaution.
"No, no, what's wrong Tyler?" Josh insisted.
"U-um, on the walk here, I started thinking about everything you've did for me, I couldn't thank you enough, really you truly are my best friend. You've done all these things from accepting me for who I am, running of with me when we were 10 into forests, carving our names into trees naming it ours, you even stuck with me through Jenna." Josh winced at the memory of Jenna, she wasn't bad, she just stole the heart of the boy that stole his...
Flashback**
Jenna, the loveliest girl Tyler has ever met, well, anynone really, cause she truly was God's gift.
A smile that'll carve into your heart and outshine any sun, eyes that make all the clearest oceans look dull, hair that made everyone else's look like crap, laugh that makes anyone want to take extreme measures just to hear how beautiful and bubbly her's was, and personality that'll make ANYONE fall in love. Of course, 2 people already did fell in love with her, and those two, we're Debby and Tyler. Debby and Jenna have been best friends since they were 2. It's like no one could separate either of them. Debby started to question her sexuality in 7th grade, and figured out she was bisexual. At first, Tyler started talking to Debby, so Josh thought he was going out with her, but then Tyler came home one day, and stood up with Josh till 1 in the morning, going on a rant of how beautiful, and perfect Jenna was. (*literally me with my friends tho*) it was in late 8th grade that after a whole week of preperation, Tyler decided to ask out Jenna, when Jenna replied with
"Look, Tyler, I know you like me, you have since u think grade. You are a great guy Tyler and anyone would be lucky enough to have you, but I'm going out with Debby now, we have for 2 weeks, and she is great. I'm sorry, but hey, here is something, I think Josh really likes you."
"Thank you Jenna, really, but I don't think Josh could ever be interested in me, trust me." Jenna looked at him for a second, and broke down laughing, Tyler following her with giggles. When Tyler told Josh this, his blood went cold at the though of someone knowing, but nowadays, he couldn't make it obvious enough. He would stare at Tyler with love eyes, 'accidentaly' bump and touch Tyler just to feel closure, and all those times they held hands skipping at down the hall? That was Josh telling Tyler to 'do it for the homophobes.' Josh loves Tyler, even back in 8th grade, Jenna knew, everyone knew.

"Anyways," Tyler continued, wiping away tears from his eyes, "I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done, even though I haven't done much but complain and talk about how pretty people are, even though I will never be like that."
Josh wanted nothing more than to scream that he was wrong, that he was the most beautiful person, inside and out, that Josh has ever met, but Josh just went with stroking his thump on Tyler's cheek, hand cupping his face, and saying,
"You've given me everything I've ever wanted in life." And he added a smile to go along with it.
Tyler looked up at Josh, smiled and hugged his best friend tighter than he ever has before.
"So, what were you going to tell me, Josh?" Tyler asked when all the hugging was over.
"Uh, if you wanted to watch movies with me? We have Avatar, Fox and the Hound, more Disney--" Josh started until he was interrupted by an excited, jumping Tyler screaming, "OH my God yes, anything Disney ESPECIALLY Fox and The Hound." Tyler said with all joy in his smile and eyes.
Josh made his way to the living room, holding Tyler's wrist, put The Fox and The Hound CD in the DVD player, and almost like habit, Josh got into the left corner, sitting down, while Tyler got in between his legs, resting his head on Josh's chest. Josh moved one of his arms to hold Tyler around his waist, and the other to position is to play with Tyler's hair, which is the only thing that he actually pay attention to while Tyler giggles at the movie. Josh clicked play, and just like that, they spent their afternoon.
HALFWAY (*I'm kinda laughing cause I said that's how they spent their afternoon*) through the movie, Josh got a phone call, so he stopped petting Tylers hair, reached into his back pocket of his black jeans, and got his phone. Debby appeared on his phone, right below it stating her name, and an option to deny, or accept the call, to which Josh swiped the green button and put the phone into his ear. Tyler stopped the movie so Josh can speak and turned around to face Josh.
"H-hello? Josh? Are you there?" Debby asked, whispering through the phone.
"Yeah, Debby? What's wrong?" Josh asked with confusion and worrring-ness in his voice. At this point, Tyler had the same expressions on his face.
"J-josh, how long until you can get here? At the park where we all hang out?" Josh knew how to get to that park like his own home, he spent so much time in that park with all of his friends, he loved it better than his own home, probably.
"5 minutes, why?" Josh asked. Tyler mouthed the word 'what' to which Josh just mouthed 'park'.
"Come immediately, and I'm sorry to interrupt your day with Ty, but you can bring him too." Thsi time, it was Jenna, but at that mention Josh already sprung up, grabbed his keys, grabbed Tyler's hand, and was headed to the car.
He forgot he was on the phone with Debby on the line, so he said "Okay I'm on my way." And hung up.
Tyler and Josh were already in the car, and on the way there, Josh explained to Tyler everything that just happened, and apologized for interrupting the movie "date", to which Tyler just shrugged and said this was more important.
When they got to the park, Josh's eyes sprung open, and mouth dropped towards the view...
There were birthday banners across everywhere, he can't believe he almost forgot, almost. Since yesterday was November, and today is December, it also means that that it's December 1st a.k.a Tyler Robert Joseph's birthday. Well, he almost forgot, ALMOST. He went to the trunk of the car, and got out a little birthday box for Tyler that he has been keeping since 2 weeks ago. It was a little brown ukulele (that was already tuned) and on the back, it said "Hope you like it - Josh". Honestly, it was cute. Apparently they were 30 minutes late, and after loads of texts, only a 'prank' call from Debby would work. "W-What is this?" Tyler asked, obviously forgetting his own birthday. "Surprise!" Patrick said, jumping out of nowhere, or behind a bush, "it's your birthday party!" "At 7:30?" Tyler asked "Well," Pete said next to Patrick, "You are 18 now." Tyler smiled and ran over to his best friend, Pete, and then gave everyone else a hug, then turned to Josh. "Josh, you got me something? You didn't have to. What you said earlier, and what happened today, was enough for a lifetime of birthdays." Tyler said, with tears obviously in his eyes. "Said what? What happened?" Asked the one and only, nosy Brendon Urie. Gerard and Frank turned to each other and gasped, "You think he told him?" They said in unison. "I doubt it," Ryan said. "Yea, Josh is too scared." Said Mikey, into which Ray just nodded. "Guys," said Andy, "cut him some slack, it's been ye at some now." "I agree with him." Said Joe. Pete scuffed, "Yeah cause he's your boyfriend." Everyone was just laughing now, except Tyler, and definitely not Josh. Tyler was looking around in confusion obviously trying to figure out what was happening, and Josh owed him and them all a long explenation, but mostly Tyler. "Wait," said Tyler with his eyebrows furrowed, "did Josh tell me what?" Everyone stopped laughing, and it was quiet till Ray spoke up and said, "Well I'm gonna be near The Gaylord, anyone else want to follow?" Mikey took Ray's arm, and together they walked, with everyone else following behind. Everyone except the two. "Wait, Josh, tell me what? What are they talking about?" Tyler asked, obviously wanting answer. Josh sighed and reached into his back pocket, which carried a letter he had on him for a while now, planning to tell Tyler everything. Josh looked at the letter for a brief time before handing it over to Tyler, contemplating whether or not to rip it up to spreads so he doesn't ruin Tyler's birthday party. Tyler read over the letter, once, twice, and another time while Josh stood patiently sipping at his sprite that Joe handed him when they got here. Josh knew why Tyler was taking so long to finally respond, I mean, the letter is so crazy, even he couldn't understand it, he wanted to write another one, because this one read: Dear Tyler, This has been going on for quite a while now, I don't have the words to say it, so I'll write it. God, Tyler... I love you. You are more than my best friend, you may possibly be the love of my life, I know it's really early, but I've had a crush on you since 6th grade, since you came out to me. I've always known I was gay, but when you told me you were bi, that may have been the best day of my life. Tyler, I love you. Not like a brother, not like how we always joke about 'for the homophobes'. Please, tell me if you feel the same, I need to know. If you are reading this, it means I chickened out, or I can't bear to do this right now. Tyler... I love you. Tyler looked up, stared at Josh, and walked into the woods, just walked away. Josh knew where Tyler was going, but he didn't want to go after him. Tyler really needed time right now, and Josh would be glad to give him a whole week. It would kill Josh, make him think that sometching happened. You know what screw it, screw everything. Josh would die for Tyler, Josh would chase Tyler into the end of the world, and hell, Josh would chase Tyler into the forest.
