it's friday night, and josh insisted on tyler staying home. all of the others girls are out, which leads tyler to wonder why exactly josh wants him to stay in. aside from those two, felix is the only other being in the whole house. well, right now, felix and tyler are alone. josh had stepped out over an hour ago, not saying where he was going or why.

"what do you think josh is doing?" tyler asks, twirling a piece of felix's hair around a curling iron. he found it in debby's old room, and had been learning how to curl hair from jenna. he wanted to practice, and felix was down.

"josh things," felix decides, watching the boy in the mirror.

"liiike?"

felix chuckles. "i don't know. he could be murdering someone right now. probably not, but you never know with him."

the brunette scoffs, lightly smacking the older's cheek. "yeah right. it's not like he's in the mafia."

"you are correct about that. however, he is a sneaky bastard. it wouldn't surprise me if he actually was."

"whatever," tyler rolls his eyes, lips curled into a playful smile. "why do you think he wanted me to stay home?"

"not sure," felix says, then teasingly, "why do you ask so many questions that i don't have answers to?"

"not sure," the brunette mocks. "i feel like you'd be the one to know out of everybody."

"that's debatable. i feel like you'd be the one to know out of everybody. josh tells you everything."

including that he might love me, tyler thinks.

he hasn't told felix about it yet, and he doesn't feel like he has to. it was an intimate moment between him and josh. it should stay as their own. the brunette smiles as he reminisces, careful not to daze off and accidentally burn felix's scalp.

"well, he didn't tell me what was going on tonight," tyler states, finishing the last of the older's hair. he runs his hands through the loose curls, smiling into the mirror. "how's it look?"

"looks pretty sick," felix smiles. he touches his hair softly, afraid of ruining it. "thanks, ty."

"i could teach you if-"

"tyler!"

"-josh is back!" tyler squeaks, yanking the curling iron cord out of the wall. "in here!"

footsteps grow louder as they approach the bathroom, until finally, josh opens the door. he glances between the two, amused with felix's hair. "you two manage to find the most random shit to do."

"doesn't it look nice?" tyler asks, gently ruffling the man's curls.

"very nice. it's perfect, actually, because i need you to go into town, felix."

"for what?" the man groans. "it's almost midnight."

"i left a list on the kitchen table," josh responds, taking tyler under his arm. "it should take you a few hours."

felix glances between the two, eyebrows raising and jaw dropping. "oh, i see-"

"bye, felix," josh interrupts, giving the man a little smile.

"uh-huh, see you guys later," he nods, winking at tyler.

the brunette frowns in confusion, glancing up at josh. "what was all that about?"

"what?" is josh's response, only confusing tyler more.

he decides to just drop it, letting the older lead him out of the bathroom. tyler finds himself being led through the living room. they stop outside of josh's bedroom doors.

"josh?"

"tyler."

"are you going to murder me?" he asks, a little timidly. surprisingly, josh lets out a loud burst of laughter. okay, well at least he isn't mad tyler would assume such a thing.

"no, dear. i'm sorry i was gone earlier. i had some business to take care of... now let me take care of you."

before tyler can ask what he means, josh pushes his bedroom doors open. tyler's jaw drops just a bit, hot tears forming in his eyes.

various candles are spread throughout the room, a warm, yellow ambiance filling every nook and cranny. smaller candles illuminate a path to the bed, rose petals scattered in between. tyler takes a step inside, glancing around in awe.

the rose petal path ends directly at the foot of the bed. on the bed sits a heart made out of petals and in the center of the heart, a single rose. the brunette gingerly approaches, josh following close behind.

he takes the rose between his fingers, careful not to grab any thorns. twisting the flower, tyler shyly looks to josh. the man couldn't look any more proud of himself.

"do you like it?" he asks softly.

"josh..." tyler breathes, smiling down at the rose. "this is amazing. is this what you were doing the whole time?"

"along with a few other things, yes."

"why?"

"i want to make love to you, tyler," he whispers. "i want to ravish you."

tyler softly chuckles, mostly in disbelief. this is all so overwhelming. just the two of them... alone... nobody around to witness a single moment of this. it is an utterly private exchange, something the brunette is extremely grateful for. it's him and josh in their own little world.

"okay," tyler agrees, hands shaking as he sets the rose aside.

he knows him and josh have had sex before, but he can't help but feel nervous. this is different, so different, from what they've done before. this isn't just lust-driven; it's love-driven.

josh cups a hand around the brunette's cheek, pulling him in for a sweet kiss. their lips mold, moving together slowly. tyler's hands snake their way beneath josh's shirt, resting on the man's warm stomach. josh swiftly lifts tyler up and lays him on the bed, lips still attached.

with josh hovering over the boy, tyler wraps his arms around the man's neck. they kiss deeply, tyler's lips moving sloppily. he's too focused on the feeling of having josh on top of him, the older's body pressed against his in all of the right ways.

the brunette nearly whines as josh breaks the kiss. he watches with lust-blown eyes as josh's head dips down. his lips glide against tyler's neck, hot breath making him shudder. josh nips at a spot he knows is sensitive, directly above tyler's collarbone.

the latter exhales a shaky breath, letting his eyes shut as the man begins sucking a colorful hue into his skin. josh repeats this several times, creating a trail of hickeys along the side of tyler's neck.

"how do you feel, dear?" he whispers, lips hovering just above the boy's ear.

"amazing, floaty," tyler responds, meeting josh's eyes after they share another kiss. "horny."

the older chuckles, lifting the hem of tyler's shirt. "let's take this off."

he nods, raising his arms above his head as josh clothes the article of clothing over his head. it's tossed somewhere on the bed. their lips meet briefly, until josh's head dips down again. this time, he trails kisses down the boy's chest, stopping at one of his nipples. he flicks his tongue over tyler's right nipple, gently twisting the left between two fingers.

"shit," tyler whispers, watching through his lashes. josh glances at him, their eyes meeting, and smiles. he continues for a moment before switching sides, his eyes never leaving the brunette's.

tyler just knows he isn't going to last very long tonight. not with the way josh is looking at him and getting him so worked up. the poor boy is throbbing at this point, so desperately wanting to roll his hips against the older.

"am i making you feel good, dear?" josh grins, placing a chaste kiss against the boy's cheek.

"uh-huh," tyler responds, lazily.

"does this make you feel even better?" the older asks. softly, slowly, he grinds himself against tyler. the sudden friction makes the latter groan, hands quickly gripping his shirt.

"y-yes.."

the man smiles, rolling their hips together once more just to hear another one of tyler's pretty little sounds. he removes his own shirt, skin pressed against skin as he leans in to kiss the boy once more.

"you are so beautiful, tyler. i wish you could see yourself like this," he voices, hooking his index fingers beneath the boy's shorts. "can i take these off?"

tyler nods, too baffled from the compliment he's just received to answer verbally. josh watches his cheeks turn from pink to red as he removes the boy's shorts.

"and these?" he asks, tugging at the brunette's underwear.

"uh-huh."

josh carefully strips tyler down to nothing, pressing a soft kiss against his stomach. "you're so lovely, ty," he murmurs.

"uh-huh," tyler repeats, basking in josh's words. he feels slightly disoriented, in the best way possible.

"can i touch you?"

"yes, please," he nearly whines, letting out a sigh of relief as josh's fingers close around his dick. "fuck."

"i've just barely started, dear," josh chuckles. he pumps tyler slowly, swirling his tongue around the boy's tip before taking it into his mouth.

"fuck," tyler repeats, threading his fingers through josh's hair. his head falls back, eyes squeezed shut as the older pleasures him. "that feels so fucking good..."

josh hums in response, sending small vibrations throughout the brunette. he moans in response, tugging on the man's hair. josh takes that as his cue to take the rest of tyler into his mouth.

his hands rest on the boy's thighs, bobbing his head along tyler's dick. with hallowed cheeks, he casts a glance up at the boy. tyler looks heavenly, his face contorted in pleasure as he watches josh.

suddenly, a loud gasp escapes him. "s-stop, gonna cum.."

josh complies, his mouth pulling away from tyler with a little pop. "so soon, love?" he teases.

"sh-shut up," tyler responds, voice shaking. did josh really just refer to him as love? his heart swells, smiling at the man.

"do you want prep?"

"no, i want to make you feel good too," he says, blushing shyly.

"not gonna argue with that," josh winks, taking tyler's spot on the bed. the latter quickly discards of josh's remaining clothing, hands shaking slightly as they grip the man's thighs. "hey, are you okay?"

"yeah," tyler nods, biting his lower lip. "just nervous, a little. sorry, it's stupid.."

"ty, it's not stupid," josh shakes his head. he sits up slightly, gently grabbing the boy's chin. "we can be done if you want. it's okay."

"no, i want to keep going. i'm just worried i won't make you feel as good as usual and then i'm going to ruin this," tyler admits, frowning just a bit. he knows it's stupid.

"don't you worry your pretty little head. anything you do to me feels amazing. you are so good at making me feel good," josh smiles, thumb stroking tyler's chin.

"promise?"

"yes, i promise."

"okay," tyler nods. his palm presses against josh's chest, making the man lay back down. before he can get nervous again, tyler lifts josh's cock into his mouth.

the brunette sloppily coats the man in his spit, his hand pumping the base. as tyler practically slobbers all over josh, he's delighted to hear sinful cusses spilling from the older's mouth.

"fuck, tyler.. so good, ah fuck... look at me."

the brunette smiles as best he can with a dick in his mouth. he looks at josh through wet lashes, his eyes watering due to him desperately trying to hold back from gagging.

"prettiest-shit," josh moans, gripping tyler's hair. "prettiest fucking boy i-fuck-know.."

tyler giggles at that, unintentionally almost sending josh over the edge. the latter quickly pulls the boy off, panting for a few seconds. "god, i almost came."

"i don't care, i just want you inside of me," tyler mumbles, crawling up and straddling the man's hips, their cocks pressed against each other. josh presses their lips together, his hands tightening around tyler's hips as he rubs against the boy. "shit.."

"do you need prep, love?" josh asks, stifling a moan as their hips roll against each other.

"probably, but i don't care. i want you now, josh, please," he whines.

josh goes to reach for a condom but tyler stops him. "can we do it without one? i'm clean, i promise. i always make sure i use one."

"okay," the older agrees. his dick is still coated in tyler's spit, so he carefully eases himself into the boy. tyler, still being on top, nearly collapses against josh.

"holy shit," he whines, letting out small moans every few seconds as josh buries himself deeper and deeper inside of him.

"are you okay? does it hurt?" josh asks, his hands resting on the boy's thighs.

"hurts a little," tyler admits, squeaking as the man pulls him down for a kiss. they stay like that for a few minutes, lips lazily moving together as tyler takes his time to adjust. "okay, i'm good."

josh nods, holding tyler's hips in place as he slowly pulls out of the boy, then thrusts back in. they moan in unison, tyler dropping his forehead to rest against josh's. his palms are on either side of the man's shoulders, holding his upper half up while josh thrusts into his lower.

"fuck, josh," the younger breathes. "you feel amazing."

josh responds with a kiss which is quickly broken due to tyler's moaning. the older takes his sweet time, relishing in the brunette's lovely sounds. when he finally begins to pick up the pace, those sounds only grow louder.

tyler's pleasured cries are nearly drowned out by the sound of skin slapping against skin. he takes himself into his hand, lazily stroking himself as a familiar heat pools in his stomach. "josh, fuck, i'm gonna, fuck!"

josh hears him loud and clear. he bites the flesh of tyler's neck, holding in what is sure to be an unholy sound as he feels himself nearing his release as well. without warning, tyler spills out onto josh's stomach, a string of cuss words following.

the man leads tyler through his high. his hips stutter to a stop as he cums as well, letting himself release while still buried deep within the brunette. josh finally lets out the moan that had been building inside of him. it was, in fact, very unholy.

as much as tyler just wanted to collapse on top of josh, he thankfully remembered he would be getting himself into a sticky situation. quite literally. despite everything in him protesting, tyler slowly slid himself off of josh's cock and retrieved a towel.

"thank you, love," josh yawns, cleaning himself off and tossing the towel aside. "come snuggle with me."

tyler smiles, finally laying on top of josh and cozying himself into the man. the way their warm skin feels against each other gives tyler an indescribable feeling. joy, obviously, but it's more than that.

love, he realizes. it's definitely love.

"did you enjoy that, ty?" josh asks in a gentle voice, fingernails grazing across tyler's back.

"mhm," he hums, shuddering as goosebumps slowly form on his skin. "a lot. did you?"

"a lot," josh smiles. "i cant explain the way you make me feel, tyler. it's so... so different from anything i've ever felt before."

tyler only smiles, although josh can't see his face.

"it's like..." josh continues. "it's like i want to do everything possible to please you. everything i do, it's for you. it's not just about myself anymore, it's not just about the money. it's about you."

"i love you, josh," the brunette says, burying his face into the man's neck.

"i love you too," josh responds, squeezing the boy a little tighter. "more than anything."
