"Tyler!" you called as you burst through the door of his dressing room.

"Y/N/N!"

You rushed forward into his arms and hugged him tightly. He rocked you from side to side.

"I have so much to tell you," you said, holding him at arm's length.

His eyebrows furrowed, "Ok, I want to hear all of it, but first I have to know what you thought of the show."

"It was amazing, Ty. Watching it with the rest of the fans was a whole new experience."

"I'm so glad to hear that. So, what did you need to tell me?"

"First of all, how dare you and Josh go behind my back to plan some elaborate announcement like that," you laughed.

Tyler shrugged, "He said he wanted a grand gesture to really make it up to you."

"Second of all, it worked."

He grabbed onto your arms so tightly that it hurt a little. You laughed as he stared at you with wide eyes.

"It worked?"

"It worked."

"It worked!"

You nodded, unable to keep yourself from laughing at Tyler's reaction. He was pacing around the room and shaking his head.

"My two best friends are dating. This is like the best day ever."

"Tell me about it."

"Josh!" Tyler said suddenly. "My man!"

You turned around to see what Tyler was doing. Sure enough, Josh was standing in the doorway, moments away from getting pulled into a hug by Tyler. He seemed a bit confused as he patted Tyler on the back.

"I told him the news."

"Ah," he laughed.

Josh walked over and wrapped an arm around your waist. It was weird to finally be affectionate with him after so much time spent wondering what things would be like if you were together.

"Wait!" Tyler said suddenly, turning to face you. "Does this mean what I think it means?"

You furrowed your eyebrows, "What do you think it means?"

"You're going to come back as our photographer?" Tyler smiled hopefully.

"I haven't even thought that far ahead yet, but I don't see why I wouldn't."

"Perfect, you can leave with us tonight!"

"Ty," you laughed. "No."

"Why not?" Josh chimed in.

You looked up at him, "You guys are leaving in what? Half an hour? There's too much that I have to sort out here before I can just up and leave again. How about I join you for the next leg?"

"But that's weeks away," Josh said, pulling you in a little closer.

"Well, it will give me plenty of time to start looking for places in Ohio," you grinned.

"You're coming back?" Tyler gasped.

"Why wouldn't I? My two favorite people live there."

"You're moving to the place you swore to hate," Josh laughed.

"Yeah. There might have been these two idiots who taught me how to love it."

"Boys! We need to start packing up!" one of the crew members called.

"I'm really going to miss you these next few weeks," Josh said.

"Me too," Tyler chimed in.

"We're going to stay in touch, ok? It will be over before you know it."

Both of the boys gave you a hug before they went running into the hall. You stood in Tyler's dressing room for a moment, allowing everything that had just happened to fully sink in.

"Wait!" Josh said, suddenly running back into the room. "I can do this now."

He pulled you into a kiss before winking at you and disappearing from the room again. You smiled and shook your head.

*     *     *

"I can't believe I just got everything decorated just for us to leave again tomorrow," you sighed, collapsing onto your new couch.

Josh walked over and tapped on your legs. You lifted them up for a moment so that he could sit down, only to immediately drop them back down on his lap.

"Aren't you excited to be back on tour?" Josh asked.

"Of course I am! I just want one more week here to actually enjoy having a fully furnished apartment."

"Well now you get to enjoy a fully furnished tour bus."

You groaned and leaned back against the couch. Josh reassuringly tapped your shin.

"And you get to hang out with me every day!" he grinned.

"I am excited for that," you smiled. "Even though I'm with you and Tyler almost every day even when we aren't on tour."

"Speaking of Tyler, are we still meeting him for lunch?"

"Yeah, we need to leave in half an hour or so."

"Perfect."

You stared up at the ceiling of your apartment. Part of you still couldn't believe how far you had come since you first came to Ohio. It almost felt like a dream.

"Do you ever think about how different things could have turned out?"

You pulled yourself up to a sitting position and took your legs off of Josh, "What do you mean?"

"Well," he said, scratching at his cheek. "The day that I saw you in the grocery store, I almost didn't say anything. Imagine if I hadn't and just moved on after I got my hair dye. Who knows where we would have been."

"Yeah," you nodded. "I think about that a lot."

"And I almost bailed on dedicating that song to you. Tyler convinced me to stick with it, although in the end I guess it didn't really matter. He could have said whatever he wanted to up there," Josh laughed, his mouth curving up into a small smile.

"Why did you dedicate that song to me?" you asked.

You reached out and grabbed one of Josh's hands. Rather than lacing your fingers with his, you began to trace patterns onto the back of his hand.

"I knew that it was going to take a lot to win you over, so I thought what better way to show you that I was serious than dedicating a song to you in front of hundreds of fans."

You giggled, "Yeah, I guess you need to be pretty serious to do something like that."

He tilted your chin up so that you met his eyes, "And I am serious."

You leaned forward and pressed your lips to his. The two of you had only been together for a few weeks now, but you already felt the happiest you ever had. He had wasted no time in showing you just how much he loved and cared about you. It served as a reminder of how truly awful Matthew had been.

You pulled away from Josh, but kept your faces only a few inches apart.

"I love you, but if you ever embarrass me in front of a crowd like that again, you won't like the consequences."

Josh grinned, "I love you too. And deal."

You smiled and leaned back into the pillows. Josh moved over so that he could lay down on top of you. He hummed happily as you began to run your fingers through his hair.

"You're going to need to dye your hair again," you said, noticing how dark his roots had gotten.

"I know. I was thinking maybe pink. Or yellow."

"I think those would both look really nice."

"Really?"

"Josh, I've seen old pictures of you. I'm pretty sure you can pull off any hair color."

He smiled and wrapped his arms a little tighter around you, "It's nice to hear you say that."

"Can I ask you one more question?"

"Sure."

"Why did you decide to talk to me in the grocery store?"

He laughed a little, "I was genuinely curious as to why you had your hood pulled over your head like that. I also thought that I might be able to offer some help if it was your first time dying your hair. Little did I know, I was about to meet the love of my life."

You smiled, "Thank you for helping me turn my life around."

"Anything for you."

"Now as much as I would like to lay here forever, we need to get ready or we're going to be late for lunch with Tyler."

"No," Josh whined, wrapping his arms tighter around you. "I don't want to get up."

"Josh," you laughed, tapping his shoulder. "You just said you would do anything for me."

"Anything but that."

"Come on, I've been in pajamas all morning. I need to go get dressed."

"Fine," he groaned, getting up so that you could get off the couch.

"Thanks," you smiled, pressing a kiss to his cheek as you headed for your bedroom.

You quickly changed into proper clothes and fixed up your hair before joining Josh in the living room again. He stood up and pressed a kiss to your forehead.

"Ready to go?"

You nodded, "I've been looking forward to getting pizza again since you and Tyler took me there for my informal interview."

"Me too," he smiled, taking hold of your hand. "Let's get going or we're going to be late."
