The boy breathed deeply, his fingers clutching the ceramic surface. He was at peace for a few minutes and then he heard his bedroom door slowly close and open. Seconds after, the bathroom door flew open, Tyler jumped away from the sink, startled as hell, of course.

Josh casually barged in, forehead glistening with nervous sweat. Tyler didn't have the time to react or even say anything.

"What were you trying to do?" Josh hissed, his arms pinning Tyler's dainty wrists against the cold ceramic wall

"What do you mean?" Tyler's eyelids fluttered innocently

"Fucking hell, Tyler," Josh mumbled, "You know what I mean." 

"No, I really don't." Tyler kept playing dumb knowing that it will only get Josh angrier and honestly, it was kinda hot 

The man let out a ragged breath, his hands forcefully lowered Tyler's. The boy stood pressed up against the wall, hands to his sides. Truly helpless. The brunet inhaled the man's scent, it was a heavenly feeling being able to smell your favourite scent in the world. 

"You just keep-" Josh seethed "I don't know."

"Then how am I supposed to know then?" Tyler scoffed 

"You're the one who's always acting like this!" Josh let go of Tyler for a brief second "You're always acting like this and for what? To get a reaction? To have something to laugh about? To embarrass me and hurt me? Why?" 

"I-" Tyler cursed at himself for being such a wimp because tears had already started breaching "I didn't w-want to h-hurt you."

"But you did!" Josh gripped Tyler's shoulders, shaking the boy a little "You hurt me a lot."

"I'm sorry," Tyler's bratty attitude evaporated instantly, instead, tears arrived to replace it

"Then why did you do it?" Josh shook his head trying to shy his tears away "You literally left no explanation before leaving. "

"I'm-" Tyler sobbed, he finally realized that it's going to be now or never 

"I trusted you, I loved-" Josh sniffled "I love you. How could you do this to me?"

"I'm sorry-"

"Are you?" Josh's grip tightened "Are you?!"

"I am!" Tyler shoved Josh away "I am, okay? I'm sorry, I messed up and I regret it, okay? Leave me alone."

"I'm not leaving until I get a fucking explanation!" the older man's fist collided with the cold ceramic tile

Tyler flinched at the impact, his eyes swelled up even more. Josh's expression softened, he moved his hands away from Tyler and rubbed his face. The boy bit his lip, it was so hard to say the truth.

"St-Steve," Tyler started, tears already choking him, "H-he said that if I didn't d-do it he would h-h-hurt Maddy and-and Maddy means the w-world to me and-"

Tyler didn't finish his sentence, the touch of Josh's body silenced him. The boy melted against the man, oh, how he missed that. He heard Josh sob, sniffle. The man just hugged Tyler tightly without any intention of letting go any time soon. Tyler enjoyed the warmth of the older man's body, melting away in the comfort. He missed it so much, it was almost painful to have it back.

"Stupid," Josh uttered "You're so stupid, Tyler Joseph."

"I'm sorry-" Tyler let out a muffled cry, tears soaking into Josh's shirt

"You should've told me that," Josh whispered, "You should've told me that right away, why did you wait a year and a half to finally tell me this?"

"I was scared," the brunet whimpered, he felt relieved to finally get the truth out

All that time it weighed him down and now poof, it was gone as if it wasn't there in the first place. Josh swayed Tyler in his arms softly, hand running up and down the boy's back soothingly. 

"I was so scared," Tyler continued, tears started to burn his eyes

"I'm sorry," Josh apologized "I was too harsh, I'm sorry."

"You don't have to-"

"I have to," the man shook his head "I yelled at you, I hurt you as well. I shouldn't have and for that I'm sorry. I should've been more understanding."

"I forgive you," Tyler was shaking, a skinny leaf in the autumn wind

"I do too," Josh gripped Tyler's cheek softly in his palms "I forgive you."

Tyler nodded, the view in front of nose blurred, all he could see an unclear image of Josh's face. 

"I love you," Tyler uttered, it felt so right to finally be able to say that again

"I love you too." Josh breathed out "Never stopped."

The man wasted no time, Tyler leaned into the kiss desperately. After so much time, it still felt the same. Soft and gentle, two puzzle pieces fitting against each other perfectly like the world made them both just for the sole purpose of being together. 

Josh's lips moved rougher, kisses becoming more and more ravenous with each breath. Shirt clutching, hair pulling, lip biting, it all felt so right, there was no reason why they should stop so they didn't. 

"Joshie," Tyler whimpered, Josh's rough hand squeezed down on Tyler's ass, carrying soft gasps out of Tyler's mouth

"Say that again." Josh bit Tyler's collarbone, tongue sliding against the bruise his teeth left

"Joshie," Tyler repeated, this time more lustfully

"God damn," Josh growled, his strong hands lifted Tyler up and sat him on the countertop

"I want you," Tyler whimpered, his slender fingers quickly unbuttoning the man's shirt

"I want you too, baby," Josh gasped in between his hasty kisses 

The boy slid the unbuttoned shirt off, the light fabric fell on the floor leaving the older man shirtless in front of the boy. Josh followed Tyler's lead and removed the boy's button up shirt as well. Tyler scrunched it up and threw it somewhere on the floor not caring what it will end up looking like. The only thing important now was Josh and Josh only. 

The boy gasped when the man suddenly bent him over and yanked his pants down to his ankles. Tyler backed up, pressing his rear against Josh's bulge.

"Fuck, yes, take me." he groaned, pushing against the man harder

"You got me so worked up baby," Josh mumbled, his fingers failing to unzip his slacks "I haven't touched you in almost two years, do you even imagine what I'm gonna do to you?"
