Paper Mache Planes - Nova & the Experience

"merry christmas, joshua!"tyler says, giving me a neatly red wrapped present. with a green bow on top.

"ty, you don't have to give me anything,"i take the present, opening it to reveal an american idiot by green day record in prestige conditions with a little thing on the top of the plastic wrapping saying that it is a colored record. i almost cry by just looking at it sitting there on my lap.

"tyler...how did you get it?"

"i know the right people,"he smiles and kisses my cheek.

"it must've costed you a fortune."

"thirty bucks isn't a fortune."

i nearly choke on my own breathing,"thirty bucks? no no no. tyler i cannot accept this. you spent way too much money on me."

he tsks, shaking his head. he presses a kiss to my neck, it sends a shiver down my spine. "i know how much you wanted this. you talked nonstop about it. it's yours now, josh. i really want you to have it. that's why i gave it to you."

i gulp,"o-okay. but i still think this is too much compared to what i got you."

he takes the box covered with white & gold wrapping paper from my side. he doesn't hesitate to rip it to see what's inside. he gasps in amusement. for sure he loves it. it's a pastel yellow polaroid. he looks at the box from all angles,"a polaroid? josh, this is much more expensive than the record."

"not really. i got it on sale."

"it could still be more expensive than my gift."

i kiss his temple,"doesn't matter. oh, crap. how could i forget. you might need these to get the picture to come out," i pass him another gift, same wrapping paper. the only difference is that this one is smaller. he rips it open like the last one,"you even got me the colored films? josh, you easily spent more than sixty bucks on this."

"every last penny was worth it."

he puts the gifts aside, cups my cheeks and kisses me deeply. i put my arms around his skinny body, pull him closer to me. we could've gone further but his mom knocking on the door cuts us off.

"kids, go to sleep already. it's 4 am,"her muffled voice says from the other side of the locked door.

"okay, mom,"he replies. her footsteps are heard from the door to god knows where, meaning we can resume the kiss. tyler has a different plan though.

"come on,"he gets up with the camera and the package of film, then sits on his bed. i sit next to him, after putting the record safely inside my backpack. i look at him as he sees all the angles of the camera and tries to figure out how everything works.

he looks so concentrated, his eyes shifting from one part of the camera to another then to the film. i love how he sees even the most mundane mark on the camera and treats it like it's the most important thing in the world.

"okay, let's see if it's good to go,"he turns to around and takes a picture of me. the light of the flash makes me see random spots for a couple minutes while the picture comes out of the top of the polaroid.

tyler giggles at the sight of the imagine revealing on the film,"i love it. thanks again, josh. i'll treasure this forever." he kisses my cheek again, getting me to smile like an idiot. i'm glad he likes it. i mean, why wouldn't he?

"we should go to sleep. your mom will kill us if she finds us awake at 5 am,"i tell him.

he nods and puts the camera, films and opened packages on the nightstand next to the bed. we're already in our pajamas; well, a random old t-shirt and briefs. it still counts as pajamas right?
