"ty wake up.", josh was gently shaking tyler awake. the small boy yawned and rubbed at his eyes.

"oh no did i miss the end of the movie?", tyler pouted.

"yeah but don't worry. it wasn't a happy ending as you can see.", brendon mentioned as he pointed towards jenna who was literally sobbing in ashley's arms.

"it's not fair! they loved each other.", the blonde girl sniffled.

"there there.", ashley patted jenna on her back awkwardly comforting her.

"oh jeez. don't tell me what happened or i'll cry too.", tyler said as josh helped him up. everyone walked out of the theater, tyler cringing at the mess he made from earlier when dallon helped him. speaking of dallon he hadn't really said anything since tyler woke up.

"dally are you okay?", tyler whispered.

dallon's focus went from the ground to tyler's face. "just tired.", dallon said before walking ahead next to brendon. tyler pouted and crossed his arms. the guys gave the girls hugs and they went their separate ways to the cars. dallon dropped off brendon first and shortly after pulled up to josh and tyler's house. the drive was quiet besides lana softly playing because tyler had asked if he could have the aux and in response dallon just handed it to him without saying anything. josh could tell something was wrong.

"thanks dallon. we'll see you at school tomorrow.", josh said and got out of the car waiting for tyler.

"i'll just be a minute joshie you can go in without me.", tyler said with an anxious smile.

josh raised an eyebrow but nodded anyway and walked up the path to the front door. as soon as he was inside he peeked through the window to see what was happening. what was so important that josh had to leave.

tyler looked up at dallon still next to him in his car. dallon was just looking straight ahead bouncing his leg. tyler furrowed his eyebrows and grabbed dallons hand to which dallon flinched but kept it there.

"dally are you mad at me?", tyler asked.

dallon finally turned to tyler. "i'm confused.", dallon said truthfully.

"why?", tyler said.

"because i- you... you let me touch you. and then after you came you called me your friend. you said i'm a good friend. friends don't do that. you do know i really like you right? don't you like me too? in a boyfriend way?", dallon let out.

"friends don't do that?", tyler asked.

"what? tyler no. that's way too intimate. that's something people in relationships do. unless two people are having like a hook up and that's it but we're not like that. you like me right?", dallon asked.

tyler looked away. his eyes were watery now. he didn't know that he wasn't allowed to do that. what if josh found out? he'd be so mad. tyler started shaking. dallon let go of tyler's hand.

"you don't like me like that do you.", he said.

tyler looked up at dallon. "i'm so sorry. i know that we kissed and everything. and that was my first kiss too. you were my first kiss dally. i just-"

"you just?", dallon cut him off.

tyler frowned.  "i just think we'd be better off as friends dally. i'm sorry. if i knew the touching was meant for people who are in relationships i wouldn't have asked you to do that. please don't be mad.", tyler muttered unable to look dallon in the eyes.

dallon's heart shattered. yes tyler was innocent but who thinks that literally helping someone get off is what friends do. dallon sighed and tried to hold his emotions together. he didn't wanna cry not with tyler still in the car. would their friendship be awkward now? would tyler not wanna hold hands anymore even though dallon now knew everything was platonic the whole time in tyler's eyes.

"tyler why did you allow me to kiss you on your birthday if you knew this whole time that you just want to be friends? you don't have feelings for me at all? you must know that kissing isn't something friends do. i mean some friends yes but- you know what. i gotta get home okay.", dallon said.

tyler's heart hurt. he didn't mean to hurt dallon. he felt like a terrible person.

"i wanted to have a first kiss. and it was special. i've seen it in movies friends kiss all the time! i'm sorry please don't hate me!", tyler cried.

dallon sighed once again. a tear slipped down his cheek. he knew tyler meant no harm. he just accidentally took tyler's affection the wrong way. and tyler didn't know any better why would someone like him want to intentionally lead someone on. he wouldn't. dallon forgave him but that doesn't mean his heart still wasn't broken. when dallon falls for someone he falls hard.

"princess i could never hate you okay? it's okay that you don't like me back. you can't help your feelings.", dallon gave a soft smile.

tyler hiccuped. "dally your really special to me. i do feel something for you but i don't know what it is yet.", tyler admitted.

"wait really? okay now you're confusing me because i thought you just said you wanna stay friends."

tyler had a thought. if dallon and him were together no one would ever suspect that him and josh were the real couple. despite tyler's innocent mind he did realize that that's actually really messed up. he didn't wanna make the decision now he'd have to talk to josh about it.

"wait no! that's evil tyler you'd never use dallon like that. that's cheating.", he thought to himself. he shuddered at the insane thought that crossed his mind. he'd never do that. he's not like that.

"i'm sorry i'm making this so complicated. i just wanna be good friends like we are now. i don't want anything to change. i like how we are now.", tyler told him.

dallon nodded. he knew he'd eventually get over tyler. maybe he'd add some girls or guys on snap and start talking to other people. "of course. don't worry. nothing has to be awkward.", dallon smiled.

tyler let out the breath he was holding. dallon was taking it well in his eyes. "thank you. i love you.", tyler said and hugged him.

dallon flinched at the words knowing he meant it as a friend. damn this would be harder than he thought. he held tyler tightly but knew he needed to get inside.

"goodnight.", dallon said.

"night night text me when you're home. ", tyler said and then finally exited the car. dallon waited until tyler was inside his house safe and then he was on his way home.

tyler closed and locked the front door turning to see josh in front of him. he gasped and put a hand to his heart.

"joshie you can't scare me like that!", tyler breathed.

"i'm sorry bumble. what took so long i was waiting for forever.", josh said as they walked upstairs and entered his room.

"uhh dallon told me he liked me and i told him i just wanted to be friends.", tyler said knowing it wasn't the full truth. he needed to avoid the fact that the whole conversation started because of what happened at the movies.

"he's probably so sad. i feel bad. but it's okay don't worry dallon is strong and he'll be okay.", josh smiled.

"i need to get changed.". tyler said feeling uncomfortable in his damp panties.

josh nodded and placed a kiss on tyler's lips before the short brunette left to change. josh changed also but got distracted by his phone so by the time tyler was back in his oversized baby pink tee and matching cotton shorts, josh was only in boxers.

tyler gasped and dropped his teddy bear so he could close his eyes. josh looked up and chuckled.

"what am i ugly?", josh said sarcastically.

"of course not i just don't want to invade your privacy.", tyler mumbled eyes still covered.

"do you want me to put on a shirt and bottoms?", josh asked. he didn't wanna make his baby uncomfortable.

tyler slowly took his hands away from his eyes and opened them. he picked up his teddy and then studied joshs body. he was so hot.

"you're so hot.", tyler blushed.

josh grinned and motioned for tyler to come to his bed. "wait lock the door.", josh said.

tyler did as he was told and then climbed into josh's bed. they stared at each other with heartwarming smiles.

"you are absolutely beautiful.", josh said.

"i'm aware.", tyler said with a grin.

josh playfully rolled his eyes and asked the long awaited question.

"will you be my boyfriend?"

tyler gasped and jumped on josh. "you already know the answer. of course i will!"

josh held tyler's hips and leaned forward for a kiss. tyler kissed back getting better and better at it every time. josh moved down to tyler's ear nipping it and gently sucking on his neck. tyler let a small moan slip at the way it felt. so good. was he about to get sexual the second time tonight?

"i don't want to make you feel like we're moving to fast.", josh said staring into his eyes.

"you make me feel good. i feel so good right now and i have tingles.", tyler admitted.

josh groaned and the sound was like glitter and rainbows to tyler's ears. he titled his head back and allowed josh to suck on his neck more. tyler grinded down on joshs crotch not expecting to feel shivers going down his spine.

"holy cow.", tyler whispered. he could also feel josh hard underneath him.

"you don't know anything about intimacy. are you sure you want to do anything?", josh asked.

tyler shook off the guilt. it was mostly true he didn't know anything besides the fact that being rubbed over your clothes felt really good.

"i trust you josh. wanna make you feel good too though."

josh looked at the pretty boy on top of him with so much adoration in his eyes. he was absolutely perfect and all his. tyler giggled because of josh's constant staring. it was music to josh's ears.

"i feel like i'm gonna corrupt your innocent mind.", josh said flipping them over so he was on top of tyler now. the smaller boy gasped.

"yknow the ones who seem to sweetest are always the kinkiest.", josh stated as he went in to kiss tyler's face all over. tyler giggled uncontrollably.

"what does that mean?", tyler asked.

josh smirked. "i have a lot to teach you."

"teach me something right now then.", tyler said sweetly.

josh smirked but before he could say anything someone was trying to open his door. "what the heck josh why is the door locked i have your laundry." , laura said from outside the door. tyler's eyes widened and he thanked god that josh told him to lock it.

"just a minute mom. sorry it's habit." , josh said as he got off of tyler and put on a random shirt lying around. tyler pouted and sat up on the bed.

"oh hey tyler. what were you guys up to?" , laura asked when josh opened the door. she gave josh his clothes.

"we just got back from the movies. uhh we were gonna watch a couple episodes of gravity falls before bed." , tyler said sweetly.

"how nice. was the movie good? and joshua you better hang up your clothes. don't you dare put them on the floor after i just washed them." , laura scolded when josh was about to dump the pile of clothes on the floor.

josh rolled his eyes and put the pile on the foot of the bed and then grabbed some hangers. "the movie was really good. oliver was hot." , tyler giggled.

"well don't stay up too late. love yall." the boys exchanged love you too's and then laura left closing the door.

"i'm sleepy." , tyler yawned.

"does that mean you don't wanna do anything now?" , josh asked.

"well the fact that we could've been caught if we hadn't locked the door kinda made my tingles go away. i'm sorry maybe tomorrow."

" you don't have to apologize ty. i'd never make you do anything you don't wanna do. ", josh hung up his cage the elephant shirt and then held out a hand for tyler to take. tyler giggled and got up from the bed and took josh's hand letting the older boy pull him into his chest.

" i adore you. ", josh smiled.

" i adore you too. "

when tyler left josh's room to go to his own for the night he couldn't help to feel guilty about dallon. he ignored the thought though and turned over grabbing his koala stuffie.

"bear bear am i a bad person for rejecting dally? am i a bad person for dating my step brother?" , tyler sniffed.

bear bear didn't say anything obviously. maybe tyler cried himself to sleep.
