tyler and josh want to try the things they see in the videos online

trigger warnings: smut!! (mutual masturbation, edging, overstimulation)

.

the hum of the microwave accompanied by the popping popcorn filled their ears, the buttery scent floating through the kitchen. tyler stood on his tippy-toes, peering into the microwave to watch the bag inflate. josh laughed at the way tyler picked up the bag while whispering 'hot, hot, hot' to himself, dropping it on the counter as quickly as possible.

this was how the average friday night went for the friends. tyler's parents would be away for the weekend on business trips, leaving the whole house to the teenager. some people might use the opportunity to throw parties, but tyler was never one for those types of things. he would much rather spend the weekend with his best friend, josh, watching movies and staying on a diet that consisted solely of junk food and candy.

"dude, what movie are we watching tonight?" josh asked, pouring the popcorn into a large bowl as he followed tyler into the living room, the two boys plopping down onto a large beanbag.

"i dunno," tyler shrugged, reaching over and grabbing a handful of the snack, stuffing his mouth full. "maybe we could just talk. y'know, like we used to; just sit and talk about everything and nothing all at once."

"yeah, that sounds nice," josh agreed. "wha'd'ya wanna talk about?"

"i don't want to weird you out, since we haven't talked about this stuff in a while."

"nonsense. you can tell me anything," josh scoffed and playfully shoved tyler's shoulder, eliciting a weary chuckle from the younger brunette.

"you watch porn, right?" tyler questioned, voice cracking in the middle of the sentence, gulping anxiously with a bob of his adam's apple.

"yes, tyler, i watch porn." josh ran his fingers through his dark brown hair, observing the way tyler was as red as a tomato. "don't be so nervous, it's okay."

"so, like, i know you're bi and all, but do you ever watch gay porn instead of straight porn?" tyler asked, eyes downcast in embarrassment.

"i prefer gay porn," josh admitted, trying to figure out where tyler was going with this conversation. they used to discuss this type of stuff all the time when they were in eighth grade, but once josh came out as bisexual and tyler came out as gay in freshman year they were hesitant to bring it up. he was much more open about his sex life than tyler was, especially since he had one and tyler, on the other hand, did not.

"have you ever seen edging? i know they have straight porn with edging, but it's different, in a way."

"yeah, i've seen a few edging videos. that shit seems difficult."

"it gets easier the more you do it," tyler blurted, eyes widening in horror as he clamped a hand over his mouth once his mind registered what he had just said.

"did you, tyler robert joseph, just admit to edging yourself?" josh gasped, trying not to imagine the scene in his head. there was no denying it; tyler was very attractive, but he was his best friend and he couldn't ruin their friendship with a silly one-sided crush- if that's what you could even call it. but his mind wandered, no matter how much he tried to stop it. and soon all he could think about was tyler, hair matted against his forehead, chest glistening with sweat, hand wrapped around his length as he brought himself closer to his orgasm, stopping right before he could allow himself to cum.

"god, this is so embarrassing, i shouldn't have brought it up." tyler shook his head in shame and josh swore he saw tyler's eyes well up with tear.

"hey, it's alright, man. i'm not judging you. i've always wanted to try edging myself if i'm being honest, but i either get too impatient and end up cumming before i can stop, or i back out because it gets too painful. so kudos to you for actually being able to do that."

"i guess," tyler shrugged. "it just, like, i don't know, makes the orgasm more intense."

"i can imagine. i saw this one video and the guy almost passed out because it was just so intense," josh recalled and tyler seemed to take interest in that, perking up a bit as he raised his eyebrows in curiosity.

"do you, um, still have the link for it?" tyler implored, picking at a loose string that hung from his shirt.

"yeah... do you wanna watch it?" josh unlocked his phone and looked at tyler with a hint of a smirk on his lips.

"if you don't mind," tyler mumbled, chewing on his lip anxiously.

"no, i don't mind. that's fine with me," josh said and scrolled through his opened tabs on safari, finding the one he was searching for after a few seconds. he turned his phone so they could watch the video on portrait mode, about to start it before he turned to tyler one last time. "you ready?"

"as ready as i'll every be." tyler took a deep breath as josh pressed play, the small screen filling up with the video. the man in the video was attractive, seemingly in his early twenties, torso and arms extremely toned. his briefs were hanging low on his hips and it wasn't long before they were discarded off to the side, his hand immediately wrapping around his length once he had spit in his palm.

josh began to regret proposing the idea to watch the video, tyler's short breaths and gasps not making the situation any easier. he was so tempted to divert his gaze to his best friend, wanting to see his reaction, his mind conjuring up an image of the boy with cherry cheeks, plump lips parted and eyes slipped shut. he took a risk and looked at tyler, his predictions all correct, minus the fact that tyler's eyes were not closed, instead the opposite; wide and glued to the screen.

the video became second priority to josh, finding the sight of tyler much more interesting than the video he had seen countless times before. tyler didn't seem to notice, too entranced by the video playing on josh's phone, and that was whenthe older of the two saw the placement of tyler's hand. it was lazily thrown across his lap, over his basketball shorts, moving in time with the hand in the video.

"fuck," josh murmured as he copied tyler's actions, a loud moan spilling from his lips and tyler tore his eyes from the screen, whimpering when he made eye contact with josh.

"josh," tyler whispered, "edge me, please."

josh didn't have to be told twice, sliding tyler's shorts down his legs and over his feet, along with ridding him of his shirt, before doing the same to his own, leaving the two of them completely naked.

"tell me when to stop or if it becomes too much for you," josh cautioned, becoming serious in fear of pushing tyler too far.

"no, i can handle it. you decide when i can cum, and don't give in when i beg you, okay?"

josh nodded and locked his phone, shutters off the video so it was just him and tyler. he wrapped a hand around tyler's hardening member, spreading the precum around to make his movements more slick. he used his open hand to grab tyler's wrist, having his friend do the same thing to his own cock. their hands moved together at an antagonizing pace, taking their time with slow strokes.

josh soaked in the noises tyler was making, loving the needy whines that escaped his mouth as his muscles contracted each time josh brushed a finger over his tip. watching tyler in so much pleasure was enough to get josh off, but he held the urge in and tried to focus on the movements of tyler's fingers around his lenth.

"this feels so much better than when i do it to myself," tyler spluttered, barely able to form a coherent sentence. "'m gonna cum."

josh gave a few more tugs before letting go of tyler's cock, groaning at tyler's broken moan from the loss of pleasure. tyler sped up his hand around josh's member, the older boy reaching his climax with white ribbons painting his friend's honey skin. he caught his breath, reaching over and taking tyler in his hand once again, stroking up and down as fast as he could as he pinned tyler's hands down so he couldn't touch himself when josh wasn't.

tyler was a whimpering, quivering mess, sweat glistening across his chest and forehead as his body shook from pure ecstasy.

"i'm close, i'm really close."

and josh let go once again, a sob wracking through tyler's chest as tears began to slip down his cheeks from how desperate he was. on his own he could last much, much, longer, but experiencing it with another person was much better than what his own hands could do.

"again, start again," tyler cried out as he rutted his hips up in attempt to gain friction of any sort, more droplets of water falling from his eyes as he thrusted up into josh's hand. josh swore he had never seen anything more attractive, wishing he had gotten this on video so he could watch it over, and over, and over again.

"please, let me cum," tyler begged, eyes pleading. josh thought about giving in, he really did, but he was enjoying himself too much to just stop.

he released tyler from his grip, basking in the way tyler was a wreck. "you said i can choose when you cum, and i don't think it's time yet."

he went slow this time, finger tips circling around tyler's tip and over his slit before trailing down his shaft and back up again, teasing the brunette in a tantalizing fashion. tyler drew his hips back, trying to escape the touch, knowing he was so close to cumming from how sensitive he was.

"it hurts, oh god, it hurts so bad. please, stop. josh, let me cum, please," tyler sobbed out, thrashing against josh's hands as he couldn't decide whether or not he wanted more. josh ignored him, stopping once again as he sat back and leaned down, placing one light kiss over tyler's tip before sitting up and raking his eyes across tyler's body. he was beautiful, a true work of art if you were to ask josh, and he felt so privileged to know he was the only person who has seen tyler like this.

he resumed his teasing, movements fast as he listened to tyler's chants of 'yeah, yeah, yeah' and 'oh, oh, oh'. tyler continued to pull back against his touch, despite wanting more because it felt so damn good.

his cock was leaking precum and josh knew that he wouldn't be lasting much longer so he stopped altogether for a minute or so. after what he deemed an appropriate amount of time he was rubbing tyler's tip between his fingers, stopping after a few seconds. then he was trailing a single finger across the base of his length briefly, and stopping. he repeated this for god knows how long, before he decided he had tortured tyler enough.

"cum for me, baby," he whispered, wanting to see if tyler could cum without being touched. he kept his hands back, pinning down tyler's own. he waited a few seconds before tyler's cock started to twitch on its own, bobbing up and down a few times before long strings of cum were spilling out. josh didn't think it was possible to have such an intense orgasm, tyler's body spasming as he continued to cum, his whole chest stomach covered in the substance, a few drops landing on his face. he sobbed throughout the whole thing, only stopping when his body slumped against josh, breathing evening out as the force of his orgasm brought him to unconsciousness. his cock continued to twitch, more small droplets of cum falling onto his stomach.

josh used a finger to scoop up some of the cum, licking it off of his finger, grabbing his shirt to clean the rest up before he pulled tyler into his arms, cuddling him close together and reflecting back on the intimate moment they shared. he didn't know how things would be between them in the morning, but that was the least of his worries as tyler's breaths lulled him into a deep sleep.

josh would never have to watch that porn video again. he had his own experience that was much better than any porn.
