josh felt immensely happy. he smiled as he entered the van, shooting a glance at his best friend who was also grinning. tyler looked back at him in silence, sweat still dripping off his forehead, adrenaline still pumping in their veins.

that was a hell of a show.

the van made its way back to the hotel where josh, tyler, brad and mark were staying the night. the boys chatted vigorously through the 10 minute drive until they were parking and all of them got out to the chilling november air.

"let's go register, i'm freezing." tyler told everyone, feeling the cold seeping through his bones. he was wearing a thin, plain black t-shirt and jeans.

the boys entered the hotel to get the keys and booked two rooms, both of them in the same floor. tyler and josh decided to sleep in the same room. they climbed the stairs still talking about the show.

"there's only one bed though." tyler said as soon as he walked through the door and turned the lights on. josh shrugged, clutching his backpack's strap.

"you know i'll sleep in the floor if you want to."

"yeah jish i know you would. but come on, don't be silly." tyler smiled showing his teeth, and josh loved when he did that. josh loved tyler.

"ok, i'm gonna go shower now." said josh. tyler murmured something while opening the mini fridge.

"wow, there's a lot of alcohol in here."

"no water?" josh frowned, taking his shirt off.

"yup. found it." tyler threw one bottle in josh's direction, who caught it midway. he took a sip of the cold drink and made his way to the bathroom, leaving the bottle in the nightstand.

josh got into the shower cubicle and took off the rest of his clothes, letting his body relax under the hot water spray. after nearly 20 minutes he stepped off, feeling clean and refreshed. he put on a pair of boxes and his pajama pants, exiting the bathroom right after.

tyler was laying in the bed and threw him an annoyed look.

"do you want a towel?" he asked in a mocking tone.

"what? no thanks. i'm all dry."

he definitely wasn't.

"did you already shower?" josh asked as he noticed tyler's damp hair and that he was wearing another pair of pants.

"yeah, you were taking too long so i just went to the boys' bathroom."

"oh sorry man."

"that's ok." tyler said while taking a sip of beer and looking at the tv. some basketball game was on. josh went to the mini fridge and grabbed himself a can, sitting beside tyler.

"aren't you tired?" the pink haired boy asked. the fact that tyler could spend one hour screaming into a microphone and don't fall asleep as soon as they got into their van was in fact astonishing.

"i don't know, i think i'm too euphoric to fall asleep." the brunette smiled.

"yeah, me too. you were so great, by the way." josh couldn't stop thinking about how tyler would play the piano and his feelings seemed to show through the melody, and how he would say that josh looked beautiful behind the drumset, and how he praised him after every performance. he couldn't stop thinking about how proud of him he was.

"you too. you always are." tyler smiled through pink lips and his eyes squinted. the older boy noticed a few lines tracing the tan skin.

josh couldn't tell how long it had been since he'd fallen in love with the cherry cheeked boy.

and also why he had never been brave enough to tell him.

both of them went through a few beers together until the game was over and some boring movie started playing. tyler wasn't much of a drinker, so he was feeling a bit lightheaded already.

"do you wanna play a game?" he asked and josh shrugged, sitting more properly in the bed.

"does it have something to do with speaking too fast? you know i'm terrible at those."

"it has not." tyler laughed, thinking about how quiet josh's voice would sound and how he would stutter and his tiny eyes would get all squinty when he smiled to surpass his silence. he loved josh for that.

"do i have to strip naked or something?"

tyler's cheeks went bright red at that and he turned around to hide his blush.

"let's play higher or lower, i have a deck of cards in my bag." tyler stood up and staggered towards his bag, finding a tiny paper box after a few seconds. he sat on the floor as his head started spinning and josh joined him right after, sitting cross-legged.

tyler shuffled the cards and put them in front of him. they started playing. whoever guessed wrong had to drink. they went through a few more beers and an entire bottle of wine until they were drunk and giggly.

"i wish we could settle this right now." said tyler, his cheeks flushed and aching from all the smiling.

"i've told you, i played poker once and ace is definitely the highest card!" josh claimed.

"so where the hell is the first card then? why does it start with a 2?"

josh snorted and got up in a dizzy manner. he headed to the bathroom and when he got out, tyler was laying in the carpet, switching channels back and forth.

"do you wanna keep playing?" asked the pink haired boy.

"sure. i don't know if we should keep drinking though. we're pretty dumb already, we should do something else."

"like what?"

"i don't know." tyler managed to sit down and look at his friend. his gorgeous, intoxicated friend. he did know. "there's this game i saw once in a movie, i think. where you have to, like..." tyler swallowed, feeling his blood rush through his cheeks. "kiss or touch a part of the other person's body that they like. it's, i don't know, supposed to make people feel better about themselves."

"sounds fun." josh replied instantly, sitting down on the carpet. his heart was also beating really fast with expectation and he cussed himself silently for that.

the younger boy put the cards in the floor and showed josh the first one. it was a 6 of spades.

"lower." the pink-haired boy replied and tyler showed him the other one. it was a queen of hearts.

"it's higher. you lose." tyler smiled, his cheeks burning red again.

"ok." josh inhaled deeply trying to ignore the anxious feeling creeping in his chest and leaned towards tyler, kissing his chin. right where a little dimple took place.

tyler burst out laughing, he wasn't expecting that at all.

"you're weird."

"it's your turn." josh grinned. he was too curious to know what was tyler's favorite feature of him. of course tyler's chin dimple wasn't his favorite part of the other boy's body. but josh sure as hell wasn't going to kiss that pair of plump, reddish lips in the first go.

"i think the next one is gonna be lower than the queen." said tyler, flipping the top card.

it was a 10 of diamonds. josh huffed. he couldn't believe he was rooting for both of them to lose.

"you go again." he said.

"ok, so lower."

josh flipped the other card this time. it was a king of spades.

the pink haired boy smiled, looking at tyler. he could feel his entire face burning when tyler leaned in and kissed both of his eyelids.

josh couldn't resist asking.

"you like my eyes?"

"yes. they're different. and beautiful." tyler replied. his cheek grew slightly pink.

"thanks ty. yours too."

"it's your turn, jish." the brunette said expectantly with a grin.

"ok. lower, then." josh knew he was going to win, but he didn't want it to look so obvious how much he was aching to kiss tyler's entire figure.

"a 6. go again." tyler said, flipping the other card.

"higher."

a four of spades. josh tried to calm himself down and touched tyler's lips. why was he so fucking nervous?

tyler flushed again, although he seemed a little disappointed.

"lower." he guessed right after.

josh flipped the card. another queen. tyler went ahead and kissed josh's nose, right on the spot of his metal piercing.

"lower." said josh.

tyler flipped the card. a fucking king. the pink haired boy shook his head and laughed a little. tyler just stared at him when josh leaned in once more and kissed tyler straight in the mouth.

he was about to let go when tyler held his neck and breathed into it, kissing him back. josh was pretty sure his heart was about to burst from thundering so fast.

he had finally kissed tyler.

and tyler kissed him back.

and it felt exactly like he had imagined, but better.

both of them let go after a few seconds and started giggling.

"it's higher now." tyler said. josh knew he was playing to lose. the flipped card was a 9.

tyler moved fast and started kissing josh's neck and biting gently. the other boy shivered. tyler knew it was a bold move, but he chose to ignore his thoughts.

josh didn't even care about the game anymore but he decided to keep guessing.

"uhh lower." he swallowed and tyler flipped the other card. an ace. they stared at each other and started laughing.

"w-well." tyler cleared his throat and he looked very embarrassed. "given the circumstances, i'd say... the ace is the highest card."

josh shot up an eyebrow and snickered.

"oh, that's what you think now?"

"yes. so. you lose. boohoo." tyler smiled.

josh didn't think twice before making an even bolder move and grabbing tyler's butt over his sweatpants. the brunette was surprised to realize how much he enjoyed the touch. tyler felt an erection starting to grow and wondered if josh felt the same way. it was his turn now.

"higher."

"you just admitted there's nothing higher than an ace, silly." josh grinned.

"i know."

tyler's heart was racing as he looked into josh's eyes and bluntly put his hand over his cock.

the older boy's mouth fell open and he leaned in instantly to capture tyler's lips in his. suddenly all he could feel was tyler's scent surrounding him, his soft breathing, his wet, perfectly shaped lips on his and his warm hand palming his cock through his pants.

josh could scream. he wanted more, but he was scared. the alcohol was making his head twist and he paused the kiss to breathe properly. josh placed his forehead against tyler's and decided he would ask.

"do you want um... do you wanna suck me off?"

"yes, please." tyler answered immediately, making josh jump in surprise.

the cherry cheeked boy didn't wait for another reaction as he grabbed josh's hand and stood up so they could be in the bed. once they were sitting in the soft sheets, tyler wordlessly yanked down josh's pants along with his underwear. josh's skin was soft and pale, and tyler started leaving a trail of light kisses in josh's inner thighs. the pink haired boy moaned softly as he felt his whole body shudder.

tyler was extremely aroused but also terrified. he had never done any kind of oral sex before, and anxious thoughts started swirling through his head. what if he did it wrong? what if josh didn't like it? fortunately, the alcohol was still doing its job and slowed down tyler's thoughts. suddenly, sucking josh's dick didn't sound like a big deal at all.

he put a hand around the base of his cock and kissed the tip lightly, trying to get used to the feeling. josh threw his head back as the younger boy slowly wrapped his lips around his length. tyler took that as a good sign and kept going, seeing how far he could take josh and just loving the little groans and gasps the other was letting out.

tyler slurped and sucked, tracing along with his tongue.

"fuck, tyler." josh moaned and his hips buckled up involuntarily, making the brunette gag as his cock hit the back of his throat. "oh, fuck. sorry babe."

the pet name made tyler's cock grow even harder and he pulled away right after with a 'pop' sound.

"josh..."

"yeah? what, did i hurt you?"

"no, it's not that... i-i want..." tyler didn't know what to say. he wanted more, that was it. he wanted to feel josh's body against his, he wanted to kiss his hair, his lips, his neck. he wanted to feel josh.

"yes, baby? you can tell me."

"how about we..."

"if you want to stop, that's totally ok with me. i won't try anything you're not comfortable with." josh said and, god, he sounded hurt.

"no, i don't wanna stop, jish." tyler's voice sounded really quiet and josh could see the red cover his cheeks. "i want... more. i w-want you... i-inside me."

josh's heart skipped a beat at that and he smiled. he felt so happy that tyler trusted him. and that he wanted him.

josh wanted tyler just as much.

"ok" he said quietly. "come here."

tyler laid on top of josh and kissed him on the lips hungrily while clutching his face. josh's hands traveled down tyler's back and placed them on his ass, squeezing hard. tyler let out a desperate whine at that.

josh breathed in tyler's lips.

"have you ever done this... with another guy?" he whispered.

"no. have you?"

"yes."

tyler didn't want his heart to crush painfully at that, but it did.

"let's take things slowly ok, ty?" josh pressed a hand on tyler's hip and started sucking on his neck, tugging down tyler's pants. "do you trust me?" he asked in a low voice.

"of course. with my heart." tyler smiled and so did josh. they kissed once again, in a slow, sweet manner. josh feels his chest swelling. he was so in love with that boy.

the older boy pressed a finger to tyler's lips and he sucked it quietly staring right into josh's eyes as he did. he took the digit into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it. josh swallowed hard at the sight.

josh changed positions and he was now laying on top of tyler, taking control. he parted tyler's thighs gently. the brunette felt his heartbeat rushing again as he realized what was about to happen. he wasn't scared, though. deep down, tyler had always known that this was something he truly wanted.

tyler felt josh pressing one fingertip against his hole, and it's so tight and sensitive that it actually hurts.

his muscles clenched involuntarily.

"shh, relax babe." josh whispered, kissing tyler's chest.

tyler breathed deeply and stared at josh, who looked so beautiful in the dim light of that hotel room. josh, his best friend that he loved with all his strength and wanted to have by his side forever.

he relaxed.

josh pressed against his hole again and tyler almost cried. it was a new feeling and he didn't like it. but this time he didn't clench it. josh kept going, whispering soothing words and kissing his chest and neck.

he wanted to tell josh to stop hurting him.

until, after a split second, josh's finger curled inside him and tyler jumped, letting out a scream.

"FUCK! JOSH! OH MY GOD!"

it was the first time tyler felt such a sudden, intense wave of pleasure. josh took out his finger and added two instead, scissoring him. the older's boy adam's apple bobbed up and down. he had never seen tyler lose it like that and he was amazed by it. the pale boy rubbed against his prostate again and tyler's hips jerked as he let out another long, loud moan.

"please. josh, fuck, please. fuck me now, i'm ready, please."

josh's head was spinning and he couldn't tell if it was from drunkenness or simply lust. he searched the room with unfocused eyes for his bag, finding it beside the nightstand. the pink haired boy turned to the end of the bed and rummaged through it, taking out a condom.

tyler whined, grabbing josh's leg.

"ughhh josh hurry up please"

josh knelt on the bed and quickly slid the condom over his hard dick, turning around to face an impatient looking tyler. josh chuckled and bent down to kiss him. tyler grabbed his hair and put his other arm around his waist, enjoying the feeling of josh's hot skin against his.

"fuck me." he whispered again.

"you like when i take control, don't you?" josh teased.

tyler nodded feverishly, his eyes shut.

"yes, yes, josh. now, please?"

"what do you want?" he kept teasing and, god, did he love the way tyler begged for him.

"i need you to fuck me, right now. fuck me."

it was impossible for josh to tease any longer. he positioned himself between tyler's legs and slowly pushed the tip of his cock against the tight ring of muscle, taking a deep breath. tyler shoved his hips forward, taking a few inches of josh's cock inside him and he let out a tortured, squealing moan. the pain of being ripped open again doesn't even register because josh's finally inside of him and that's what he's always wanted.

josh groaned out, long and slowly, his dick throbbing inside of tyler as he pushed it a bit more, making tyler scream out his name.

"fuuuuck, fuck tyler you feel so good."

he starts moving on top of him, his cock passing in and out of tyler's entrance, still slowly so tyler can get used to the feeling. waves of pleasure were hitting him with every move, as tyler started moaning in his ear.

josh started sucking on tyler's neck as he increased his rate and tyler's hips started moving as well. the noise they were making was much too loud, but none of them cared at the moment. tyler wrapped his legs around josh's back and he leaned forward to smash their lips together. his move had changed the angle a bit and suddenly josh was slamming his cock right into his prostate, making him yell out.

josh's bucking hips collide more forcefully against tyler and he increased his pace, gripping tyler's hips as tight as he could, jerking the brunette's entire body with every thrust. the boy grabbed a handful of pink hair as he feels something building up in the pit of his stomach.

"harder, please, make me come, josh, please."

josh's hips miss a beat at that. tyler doesn't even realize it, as he's immersed in his own pleasure and soon after he regains composure, pounding harder, faster, bruising his own hips against tyler's hot flesh.

"you like when i fuck you like that, don't you? josh caught himself saying it with a low voice.

"YES I FUCKING LOVE IT, FUUCK RIGHT THERE I'M ABOUT TO-" but he stopped speaking suddenly and he was lost in his own orgasm, ropes of come blurting out of his untouched cock over his stomach and chest. the noises tyler made went straight to josh's cock and that's all it took until his hips stutter and he was releasing inside of tyler, his body shuddering with pleasure while he shouted tyler's name.

soon after he collapsed on top of tyler, kissing him hungrily in the mouth.

"that was so amazing." said tyler, his voice destroyed from all the screaming.

"you're amazing." josh whispered against his lips and kissed him again, rolling away to his side.

"we are definitely doing that again." tyler laughed and josh beamed, staring right into his eyes.

"hey, let me ask you a question." said the older boy. "does that game really exist or di you come up with it?"

tyler snorted, but he didn't say anything. instead he quietly locked their hands together and laid his head on top of josh's bare chest, sighing heavily as he listened to his best friend's heartbeat.

they slept with the tv on.

the next day, tyler woke up with a burning pain in his lower back and a headache. he sat in the bed confused until he saw josh sprawled out beside him, snoring softly and realized where he was.

a huge grin took over his face as he remembered what had happened the night before and he stared lovingly at josh until his phone's beeping sound distracts him.

it was a message from mark.

"we're in the lobby, the breakfast's about to be served."

tyler wrote a simple reply and searched for something to wear when he realized he still had come in his stomach and chest. the brunette made his way back to the bed and gently shook josh's body until he opened his eyes and smiled.

"brad and mark are downstairs getting breakfast. i was gonna clean up but i thought we should shower together to save time?"

josh let out a yawn and nodded. tyler smiled and kissed the tip of his nose, beaming at how beautiful that man was.

they took a brief, hot shower. their bodies pressed flush together as they massaged each other's hair, kissing enthusiastically under the water spray. they didn't have time to do anything more than that, as much as they wanted to.

as they were walking down the stairs to the first floor josh noticed that tyler was walking a bit funny.

"is everything okay?" he asked, sounding concerned. tyler smiled reassuringly and nodded.

"this is nothing. everything's perfect."

josh's smile threatened to split his cheeks open.

mark and brad were already eating their breakfast in the restaurant. josh and tyler sat down in front of them, tyler flinching a little as he did. josh cleared his throat and grabbed a menu.

"hey." he greeted awkwardly.

"hey man." mark replied too enthusiastically.

"how are you both doing today?" brad chimed in.

"we're good... thanks." tyler replied suspiciously while both of them smiled slyly.

"so, tyler, you know tomorrow when we get back to columbus there's practice at my house, right?" mark started talking again. brad sniggered.

"of... course" tyler raised an eyebrow, still holding the menu. "i'm the lead singer, why wouldn't i know?"

"no reason." mark shrugged. "me and brad just wanted to make sure you were coming."

the way mark had accentuated that last word made tyler confused for a minute until he came to his senses and his face turned to a violent shade of red.

"what the fuck?" josh almost yelled. "were you two dumbasses spying on us?"

"absolutely not! neither was anyone else in the entire building." brad chuckled, and now josh was the one who was blushing. "by the way, great job. seems like you had lots of fun last night."

tyler hid his face behind the menu with embarrassment.

"relax, my dudes." mark giggled. "everyone knew this was bound to happen. brad and i even bet on it, but we both lost."

"yeah, i said josh was gonna tell us the news first, and mark said it was going to be tyler. but the other way around was so much better! i'm not even sad i lost it."

"screw you guys." josh stood up, but he was smiling. he took tyler's hand and drew him to the breakfast line. tyler simply gazed at him, looking mortified.

"i'm so sorry jish, this is all my fault. i shouldn't have screamed like that." josh smiled at the boy.

"don't worry. if i could go back, i wouldn't have changed anything. last night was perfect." he grabbed his hand reassuringly. tyler grinned. "and you know they're not being mean and they'll lay off of us in a minute."

"yes, i know. but still."

"it's fine, ty. next time we'll make sure they're not anywhere around."

tyler gave him a tender kiss, feeling happiness swelling up inside him. they made their way through the line.

hands clutched together tightly.
