Tyler's POV

He kissed me.

HE kissed ME.

It filled me with fireworks.

I thought about it.

Then I kissed him back.

His perfect lips against mine felt great.

We just kissed.

There was no lust, no need.

Only love and compassion.

I wanted to stay with him forever.

To stay attatched to his beautiful C major lips.

To run my hands through his dyed hair.

To look into his brown eyes. His gorgeous brown eyes.

When we separated I almost whined.

I laid my head on his chest.

I heard his heartbeat.

It was fast at first. Then it slowed down. He was calm. I was too.

Then I listened. I didn't hear it anymore. All the unkind words in my ears that made me cry myself to sleep and hate myself.

Maybe Josh fought them away. Like a prince. Like my protector.

I closed my eyes and continued listening to his steady heartbeat.

" Tyler..?"

" Yeah Josh...?"

" Are you gay too?"

" Only for you." I said with a laugh.

" I-I..."

" I love you Josh."

" I love you too, Tyler."

" Are we together now?" 

" Do you want to be?" He took in a breath. His heart started to beat faster." Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

" Definitely." 

I love him.
