josh giggled, watching jordan try to get out of the hold that he had on him. josh had his arms wrapped around him, and jordan was laughing and trying to break free.

"josh!" he squealed, josh picking him up and grabbing his ankles, holding him upside down. "let me go!" he giggled, barely being able to breath with how hard he was laughing.

"joshua, put him down!" laura said, coming in from the kitchen to see what was happening. bill was laughing, watching them while he was sitting in his chair.

"we're just playin mom." josh smiled, flipping jordan back so he was upright, but he was still carrying him. he put him over his shoulder.

"you're gonna end up dropping him. plus, it's almost his bed time, so y'all need to calm down a bit." she said, josh rolling his eyes and setting him down.

"do again do again!" jordan clapped, climbing in josh's lap, josh flinched, jordan's knee going right into his crotch.

"careful, careful." josh laughed, jordan moving and sitting in his lap. "mom said we had to stop."

jordan whined, laying down and hugging josh. josh laughed, hugging him back. josh looked up, looking at his dad who was looking at him, with a disappointed look.

"what?" josh asked, confused. bill just shook his head, looking back at the tv. josh gave him a weird look, before grabbing his phone. tyler snapped him back, he opened it, seeing a picture of tylers dick.

josh blushed, taking a picture of jordan and typing "tyler joseph" and sending it back.

"can i play games?!" jordan asked, spinning around so he was sitting with his back to joshs front. josh cleared snapchat, before opening a kids racing game that he got for him. jordan smiled before taking his phone.

laura walked in the living room, handing josh a bowl of cut up fruit. josh took it, looking confused.

"here, you and jordan can share." she said.

"thank you." josh smiled, jordan grabbing a piece of watermelon and putting it in his mount without looking away from the screen.

the notification from tylers snap came down, jordan clicking on it. josh went to grab it but jordan already opened it and josh prayed to God it wasn't another dick pic.

luckily, it was just a picture of his face, he was in the shower and the water was running down his hair and in his face. "i miss him"

"ty said he misses you." josh said.

"who's ty?" jordan asked.

"tyler. he said he misses you." josh smiled. he took a picture of him and jordan smiling and typed back that jordan missed him.

"damn." josh said, his phone dying.

"what happened?" jordan whined. "m sorry. i didn't mean to break it." he teared up.

"no no no it just died, it's okay. i just gotta charge it." josh said, plugging it up on the living room charger.

jordan immediately climbed back in joshs lap when he sat down, and turned to watch tv. josh and jordan have always had a special connection, ever since jordan was born.  jordan was super needy of josh, and would sometimes call for him instead of laura or bill.

"can i sleep with you tonight?" jordan asked.

"if you want. i'll put you in there when it's time for bed." josh said, jordan smiling.

"hey dad, has anything came in the mail for me yet?" josh asked.

"yeah, there's a box on the kitchen table. what'd you order?" bill said.

"i ordered some shoes from adidas." he said, bill nodding. josh was kinda mad, his parents were both being short with him tonight. he didn't know what was going on.

"love you bubba." jordan said.

"i love you too jordan. so much." josh smiled squeezing him.

"hey babygirl, whatcha doing?" bill said to abigail, who just walked in the living room.

"nothing, wanted to watch tv in here." she said, climbing up in the chair with bill and sitting with him. josh just adored his family.

everyone was just so supportive of him. the way he came out when he was 14, he was so depressed and trying to figure things out and his parents noticed a change in his attitude and mood and he had such a short temper. he finally snapped one night and yelled at them that he was gay. laura and bill immediately hugged him and told him it was okay and that they accepted him.

but tonight it was weird, because his parents weren't really talking to him and they looked like they were hiding something.

"how's your grades son?" bill asked, josh looking over.

"all a's." he said, bill smiling.

"atta kid." bill said, josh smiling.

"you gonna be as smart as your brother jordan?" bill asked.

"yes! he's gonna help me!" jordan said, josh nodding.  laura came back in from the kitchen, sitting in her own chair and relaxing.

"let me see your shoes." laura said, putting her glasses on. josh got up, grabbing the shoe box and sitting down with it.  he opened it up, pulling out the shoes and showing his parents.

"i like em." laura said, bill nodding.

"you like em, J?" josh asked jordan.

"yeah!" he said, josh smiling. josh tried them on, making sure they fit before he put them back in the box.

"thanks for the fruit mom." josh said, grabbing the empty bowl and going to put it in the sink. he grabbed himself a water bottle, before setting that down and grabbing his shoes. "ima go put these up."

"here, why don't you go ahead and put jordan to bed. you too abbie why don't you go to your room. joshua, come back down here when you're done." laura said, josh quirking an eyebrow.

"...okay." he said, picking jordan up and carrying him to his room.

"why did mommy have to talk to you?" jordan asked.

"i don't know. i'll be up here when i'm done, okay you want the tv on?" josh said, tucking him in.

he nodded, josh turning on the tv and putting on a kids show. he ruffled his hair before leaving his room and going to abbie's.

"goodnight." josh said, abbie saying it back. he headed back downstairs, laura and bill whispering to each other but stopping when they heard josh.

"what's going on?" josh asked, sitting down on the couch. they paused the tv, before both sitting up and looking at josh.

"i took out your trash, and i saw the condom." laura said, josh sighing and sitting back. no one in the family knew they were doing any thing remotely sexual. they knew how innocent josh was.

"is it tyler?" bill asked.

"i-uhm." he cleared his dry throat. "yeah."

"so you're having sex now? is tyler the only one?" laura asked. this conversation somehow got more uncomfortable.

"yeah. tylers the only one." josh nodded.

"how long?"

"like, two weeks or something. i don't know." he took a drink of his water.

"and you're using protection?" bill said.

"yes." josh nodded. "am i in trouble?"

"no no you're not in trouble. i just-i just didn't know you were doing it. and with tyler?" laura said.

"i like tyler. i really do. i don't know how to explain it." josh said.

"you know that you don't need to have sex, just to make him like you." laura said.

"i know i know. it was my choice. he was really sweet about it and he took care of me good. i promise." he said. he did not feel comfortable talking about his gay sex experience with his parents.

"is this all you're doing? like you're not drinking and stuff are you?" laura said.

"no no. just the, the sex." he didn't know if he was allowed to say the word sex. "i'm sorry."

"don't be sorry. you're a teenager, i understand. i just want to make sure you're not just doing it with a bunch of random girls, er guys, and that you know not to let someone take advantage of you." bill said, josh relaxing a little bit.

"i know. tylers my first. and like i said he was really sweet about it." josh said.

"just make sure you use protection."

"i know, we do." he nodded.

"anything else we need to know?" bill said.

"n-no. why?" joshs heart rate picked up again.

"nothing. i was just wondering." he said. "is that all we needed to say honey?" he asked laura.

"think so. you're free to go." laura said.

"okay. goodnight." he said, hugging his parents and grabbing his phone before heading to his bedroom.

"hey honey?" bill said once josh was gone.

"what?" she replied.

"next time we have the house to ourselves, can we try something?"

-

"hey jordan, you still up?" josh asked, shutting the door behind him.

"yeah. what did momma say?" he asked. josh went to slide off his shirt but pausing cause jordan was with him. he instead slid off his shorts so he was in his boxers before he climbed under the blanket.

"oh it was just something out school." josh said. jordan immediately clinged onto him. josh unlocked his phone, opening tylers snap from an hour ago. he answer with a picture of him and jordan, that said "hey, sorry, i got a story to tell you tomorrow. gonna head to bed rn though. night ty❤️"

"i had a nightmare last night." jordan said, josh setting his plugged up phone on the nightstand.

"what happened?" josh asked, getting comfortable with jordan.

"we were at the park and there was a demon and he was big and black and scary and it's all pretty now and flowers." jordan rambled. josh giggled a little, causing jordan to. jordan's speech was hard to understand cause he was only three, but he was a super smart kid. sometimes he just rambled and rambled on.

"that sounds scary bud. you're okay now though." josh said, jordan nodding and sighing.

"goodnight buddy." josh said.

"g'night joshy." jordan mumbled, softly chewing on the blanket.
