When Josh said he was going to try and put a stop to the bullying that was being done, he really meant it. He himself didn’t like it but it was worse because Tyler was involved and the last thing Josh wanted to see was Tyler sad or hurt.
Josh had been confronting Brendon every time he did something and even talking back but nothing was really working. Now though? Now something was changing.
“Excuse me, Miss? Can I go to the bathroom?” Josh asked his science teacher. It was the last class of the day and he just felt like getting out of that stuffy classroom.
“Yes, take the pass.” She accepted. Josh nodded and got his things and the pass then walked out the door.
As Josh was walking down the hallway, he saw Brendon by himself on the floor. Josh walked by him with hesitation, expecting to be called a couple demeaning words but he didn’t get what he expected. Instead he got a look of sadness and tears that began pouring out from Brendon.
“Are you okay?” Josh asked, cautiously. He didn’t know how Brendon got when he cried but, if it was anything like how he normally acted, he wouldn’t want to be too close. He would be in too much risk of getting punch in the face, again. He kneeled down, putting a small bit of distance between them.
“Get out of here, Josh. I’m fine.” Brendon snapped but Josh didn’t go anywhere. Instead he sighed and sat down directly across from Brendon.
“No you’re not. What’s the matter?” Josh asked again. He was looking past all the hell Brendon has put him through and just wanted to help. After a while of Brendon not saying anything, just crying, Josh spoke up again. “You can talk to me, you know. When Tyler feels down, he says talking to me, and in general, always makes him feel better.” After saying that Brendon cried harder.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings! It’s just that I want you to be okay and stuff, you know? Crying is sad to watch.” Josh explained.
“I don’t understand you…” Brendon muttered. Josh looked at him with confusion, signaling him to continue. “I don’t understand how well you live. You have Tyler who is obviously your… Boyfriend that’s a pretty awesome person then a cool mom who always looks out for you and on top of that… You’re nice too! I don’t fucking get it!” Brendon sobbed, stopping in-between for breaths.
“It’s the obvious, huh?” Josh chuckled. “I don’t know what to tell you, Brendon. It’s just luck, I guess.” He shrugged.
“Yeah and I don’t get that either!” Brendon let out a cry, throwing his hands up in the air and toppling over on the floor. “I’m so mean to you yet, here you are, trying to make me feel better!” Be was now in a ball just crying his eyes out. Josh pouted and moved closer to him.
“Probably because I know you’re not that bad of a person? Sure, you do this stuff to me that makes me feel bad and, to make matters worse, you do it to Ty too but in the end I forgive you. You seem troubled, no offense. I just feel like you let your anger out on the wrong things.” He explained.
“Well what else am I supposed to do, Josh?” Brendon asked like he didn’t have a clue in the world and, it was true; he didn’t. Brendon was sitting up now, just sniffling. He was thankful his crying had come to a stop.
“I’ve heard you sing before! Your voice is killer, dude.” Brendon gave a genuine smile. “There’s a smile!” Josh said, laughing. Brendon smiled even wider and jokingly pushed Josh. “Seriously though. You should really practice that. Let your emotions out when you sing. Who knows, you might go somewhere.”
“Thanks… And, even though it’s annoying as hell sometimes, your drumming is real sick sometimes.” Brendon complimented. His spirits were lifted greatly by now.
“Thanks, man.” Josh nodded, sitting down next to Brendon. “So why were you crying?”
“Well I’ll tell you since I’ve practically spilled my feelings to you already.” He started. “I, uh, I think I’m gay? Like, I like boys or whatever?” Josh smiled a little. “Don’t get me wrong! Girls and their bodies are still kickass to me but sometimes I see this guy and think: ‘That’s a good looking dude right there.'” He defended.
“Does this ‘dude’ happen to be Ryan Ross?” Josh teased.
“What’s that matter?”
“Just asking… You two seem close.”
“Yeah well, whatever. I’m just jealous…” Brendon muttered.
“Of?” Josh asked, telling him to continue.
“Fucking relationships, man! You and Tyler are the cutest things to walk this hall as a couple then you have Vic and Kellin who are just like, ‘fucking hell dude that’s adorable’ and I just want one of those, you know?” He explained, hopelessly.
“You’ll get one, don’t worry. Try it out with Ryan. He seems into you.” Josh said before standing up. The final bell rang and people would be pouring out into the halls soon, ready to go home. He helped Brendon up and shook his hand.
“It’s been a pleasure.” Josh said.
“Yeah, same here. And I’m sorry about the bullying, I really am. I promise it’ll happen no more and I’ll get everyone to back off. You’re chill, Dun. Tell Tyler I said he’s chill too.” Brendon promised, walking away from Josh. Soon Tyler came up to Josh, noticing Brendon leaving.
“What’s going on there, baby?” Tyler asked Josh, putting his arm around his torso.
“Making amends. Isn’t it great?” He smiled.
“It is! Congratulations!” Tyler exclaimed, bringing Josh in for a hug. Josh just kissed him, even while people were around.
“Josh! What are you doing?” Tyler whined, embarrassed from what his boyfriend did.
“Kissing my boyfriend. See?” He smiled, kissing Tyler again. He felt Tyler sink into the kiss and he smiled against his lips. Everything was so good right now and there was no way things could get ruined now.
“Oh, hush. Let’s get home, yeah?” Tyler suggested. Josh nodded and took Tyler’s hand, walking off.

As soon as they got inside the house, Joan was littering them with hugs and cheek kisses.
“Mom, what the fu- frick?” Josh groaned, catching himself so that he didn’t curse in front of his own mother.
“Watch that mouth, mister.” She scolded. “I’ve missed you boys!” She said happily.
“We were at school…” Josh said, looking at her with a stupid expression plastered on his face.
“Yeah, well, I got good news today.” She beamed.
“Oh, what was it?!” Tyler eagerly spoke up.
“I, Joan Christina Dun, am allowed to take a three week vacation before I, again – Joan Christina Dun, get promoted to running the business!” Josh had his mouth open wide as he gasped and brought his mom into a bear hug.
“Mom! That’s amazing! Congratulations!” He shouted. He brought Tyler in it too and the three were standing in the door way, just embracing.
“Oh, thank you so much you two. Why don’t we celebrate by ordering in because I seriously don’t feel like going anywhere right now.” She sighed, smiling and grabbing the cordless phone and dialing in the local Chinese restaurant’s number.
After about 30 minutes of waiting, the food was here and the group was at he dining room table eating.
“So how have you two been? You seem closer.” Joan asked after swallowing her piece of chicken.
“We’ve been good.” Tyler smiled.
“Yeah, we’re closer too. It’s great!” Josh exclaimed. He couldn’t be happier.
“Oh, that is so cute.” Joan cooed. “You boys are a really great pair. I’m so glad you met.”
“Same here.” Tyler agreed.
After dinner was done, they all went their separate ways. Joan decided to take the television but Josh and Tyler decided to go upstairs to have a much needed make out session.
“I really love you…” Josh panted, after he broke apart from Tyler’s lips.
“I love you too, beautiful.” Tyler smiled, giving Josh a quick kiss on the lips and getting up so he could get changed into pajamas. All of his were dirty though so he settled on his boxers and one of Josh’s t-shirts that was way too big on him. Josh smiled at the sight of his boyfriend in his clothes and brought him over to the bed so they could sleep.
“Goodnight, Ty.” Josh sighed, kissing Tyler and snuggling into him.
“Goodnight, Joshy.” Tyler said in a small voice. He was drifting off to sleep already, excited to spend his Saturday with Josh.
