He was almost giddy, when he noticed Josh and Brendon only drove off after Tyler was up in his apartment. It was such a small thing to do after an already crazy evening.
He let himself drop on his bed, face buried into his pillow, to hide out the smile that was involuntarily creeping up his face.
He groaned into the pillow, a happy, yet frustrated groan of 'what-the-fuck-is-happening-to-me'. Was any of this even really happening? He was absolutely sure everything was nothing more than a dream and he would wake up any second now.
But no matter how long Tyler kept unwillingly smiling into his pillow, he didn't wake up. He was awake. Just to make sure, he pinched his own arm, hard, only to flinch when it actually hurt. Okay. Okay, so he was awake and this happened.

He turned to his back, before sitting up, his hands clamping his own cheeks trying to push them down into neutral. He had to stop smiling at some point. He jumped off the bed, into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Watching himself in the mirror as he did just that, he couldn't help but stare.
He wasn't sure he even fully recognized the one staring back at him. He looked the same, yet... different. He blushed more when he noticed the soft pink color lingering on his cheeks.
Who even was this, smiling, blushing boy. Tyler shook his head before spitting the toothpaste into the sink. Who. Even. Was. This.

He pulled off his shirt, dropping it somewhere on the floor, before stepping out of his pants, leaving them wherever it was between the bathroom and his bed. He flicked off the light switch, stumbling the last steps towards his bed in the dark. Once there, he crawled under the sheets and sighed. His bed was cold, reminding him of his 'real life'. He sighed again as he turned to his side, unable to help the warmth spreading across his chest as he thought back at this evening.

He was absolutely still overwhelmed by the fact that Josh had remembered, and just the fact that they took him there was mind blowing. He just couldn't wrap his mind around any of it. Them, as perfect as they together are, taking him on a date, wanting him to go on a date with them. It meant.. it actually meant they were seriously considering a third person into their world. As it was him. It was.. Tyler.

But no matter how hard it was for him to believe or understand, he was going to accept it. He could no longer deny his own feelings towards them, he was curious, he was trying to open himself up to whatever was possibly going to happen. He was trying to tell himself he maybe deserved this, after all the bad times. Maybe Josh and Brendon were the one to get him out of it. Maybe times would change.

He turned to his back again, his mind running wild with him. He wanted this. He wanted to find out if he was meant to be with them. He realized all to well it might not work, but what if it did? Was he actually going to be with two guys? Two to think of, two to care for, two to... maybe, love?
No matter how strange the concept might be, being in a relationship with two men, he was so willing to give it his all. He wondered if they were giving it their all too, but then realizing right away they already did.

They at some point must've talked about their feeling towards him. Had Josh been the first one to confess? Brendon? Did they both like him equally, or maybe one was 'in the lead'? Had they struggled with it? At some point they discussed this whole dating thing. Talking about opening their solid relationship up for someone else. Adding someone because they both saw something in him. They took the plunge already by doing this. They were in the lead, their initiative. They wanted to try it with him.

He couldn't repeat this enough to himself, hoping at some point it would start to make sense. He noticed that dumb smile was back, and he rolled his eyes in the dark. For almost the first time ever he wished he had a friend who he could call, just to ramble about everything. He never had the urge to share but right now he had. The problem was just that the only people he could possibly text, were the two he wanted to endlessly ramble about.

——

Maybe they both didn't even realize how much tension they had to release. Their teeth nearly clashed as Josh's fingers clasped desperately into Brendon's hair.
And maybe they both didn't fully realize what exactly was going on in their own heads. Brendon impatiently pulled Josh's shirt over his head, fingers immediately attached to the warm skin that was revealed.

Stumbling towards the bed, falling onto it with lips fighting for dominance, yet surrendering to the other at the same time. Panting as they pulled away, foreheads resting together, fingers caught up in hair and pieces of clothing.
"Can you believe we did that?" Josh asked in a whisper as Brendon's lips softly caressed his jaw. He pulled back a little, revealing a soft smile. "I can, and you did perfect." Josh pecked Brendon's lips while clumsily trying to get the older out of his last clothes. "How do you feel about it?"

Brendon groaned softly as Josh stroked his now naked length. "About tonight or what you're doing right now?" he hissed. "Because that last one i mentioned i'm feeling really good about", he chuckled with a gasp when Josh teasingly firmed his grip.
"Tonight, I feel really good about it", Brendon continued as he sat down, straddled on top of Josh's still clothed thighs, well within the reach of Josh's skillful hands.

"I loved seeing Tyler so overwhelmed, in a good way. Yet it makes me a little sad to realize he's actually shocked by the fact anyone would do this for him. But still, it made me - fuck - so happy to see his eyes light up", Brendon explained, dragging his bottom over josh's jeans, impatiently.

Josh smiled as he let go of Brendon to get rid of his own jeans and underwear. "You want to take him on another date? Still into it?" Josh asked carefully before Brendon kissed him again. "Yeah. Do you?"
"Fuck yes", Josh's answered determinedly just before Brendon dropped his lower half onto Josh's. "I want to see more of you and Tyler", Brendon whispered as he steadily dragged his erection over Josh's. The younger bit back a moan. "I loved seeing you two holding hands", Brendon continued between kissing Josh breathless. "I want to fucking hold his hand too, it's fucking crazy", he almost chuckled.

Josh's head fell back as Brendon kept rolling his hips onto his, lips only leaving his skin or lips for a short breath or statement. "Fuck, i want that too", Josh breathed, fingertips digging into Brendon's warm back.

The talking died down then, as both minds were overtaking by the coiling feeling in their abdomen, as Brendon steadily kept pushing his hips up Josh's, lips connected once again. It was warm, safe, having Brendon's body heavily on his own, the movement exactly right, the fire always there. It was loving, connecting and maybe even reassuring that they still stood strong. Josh's hands firmly grabbed Brendon's buttcheeks, feeling the muscles clench as his thrusts got faster.

Heavy breaths were shared until kissing seemed to much of a task, something just too hard to focus on. Content groans tumbled off their lips as their climax wasn't so far off anymore, soft moans broken down by teeth digging into a bottom lip.
"Fuck", Brendon hissed as his hips stuttered and he buried his face into Josh's neck. A satisfied moan escaped his throat as he released on Josh's stomach. He pushed himself up again, checking his boyfriends face to see how much more he needed, and the closed eyes, slack jaw and frown above his eyes told him enough. Picking his pace back up, it didn't last too long until the younger finished too, short fingernails still leaving small crescent shaped marks into blushed skin on Brendon's biceps.

Tyler still stared at the ceiling, even though he couldn't actually see it in the darkness surrounding him. Wondering what the future would bring, wondering what even tomorrow would bring. Kind of also wondering what right now would bring, but then at Josh and Brendon's home. Would they be asleep already? Had they talked about their date? Had they...

His heart nearly gave out as his phone suddenly buzzed on the nightstand, a dim blue light softly lighting up his bedroom.

Brendon
hey. Josh is off to sleep already and i maybe sort of promises i wouldnt text you just yet, but i do just wanted to say that we had a good time tonight :). Josh and i both.

Tyler's heart made a little jump, excitement bubbling in his veins. He just couldn't deny it was reassuring that apparently they had been thinking of him. And the fact that Brendon was the one to text somehow came unexpected, yet was so welcome.

Tyler
Me too, still little shocked. But happy.

Wait, happy? Did he just text Brendon back he was ha-

Brendon
Good :) i'm glad. So, since we missed our friday-movie-pizza night.. wanna reschedule that to this sunday?
