Delinquent ?Joshler?

Chapter 17: Suit and Jacket

"I can't believe you're so okay with this." Tyler huffed as Josh pulled him against in bed that night.

"I've got nothing to hide. I don't know why you're so upset." Josh said kissing Tyler's neck.

"I hate doctor's offices. The questions are so awkward. It's difficult." Tyler sighed and Josh's arms tightened around the tan boy's waist.

"I'll be with you the entire time, I promise it'll be okay." Josh said reassuringly. Tyler just nodded before he closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.

Tyler sat in the doctor's office, picking at his rubber band nervously. His evaluation had already ended but Josh was still in the room, being asked more in depth questions because he had had more sexual partners than Tyler had. Tyler left the room because even though Josh said it was okay, he could see the embarrassment in his eyes. Josh would tell him how many people he slept with when he was ready, and in all honesty it didn't bother Tyler. He could do what he wanted with his body.

Josh finally came out and sat next to Tyler, slouching in his chair and shoving his hands in his pockets. "Yeah that was more painful than I remember."

Tyler furrowed his brow. "You've been here before?"

"Yeah, with Andrew's parents." Josh sighed leaning his head against the white concrete wall. He hated doctor's offices too. They were so clean and the smell of disinfectant and blood seeped into your nose. It was worse in hospitals.

"Alright well good news everything came back negative. Your mother when she made the appointment continually stressed that we make sure you two had plenty of condoms when you left though." The doctor said and chuckled seeing Tyler's face burn bright red. Josh smirked and got up going to the glass fish bowl filled with condoms, shoving his hand in and taking a good bit out before shoving them in his pocket.

"Christ Josh you didn't have to get so many, we don't even use them." Tyler said as they walked back into the house, Josh's jacket pocket crinkling with every step.

"It's just to have them lying around so your mom can have some peace of mind is all." Josh said taking a condom out and ripping it open, pulling out the slick rubber and blowing into it. Tyler watched as Josh blew it up to an enormous size before tying it up.

"I have no idea why I even did this, it's like involuntary you know?" Josh said and tossing the inflated condom into the air, hitting it back into the air every time it came back down. Tyler laughed and hit it in the air as well.

"What are you two playing w-oh my god ew." Madison said as she walked into the living room and seeing them playing with the blown up condom.

"Is someone grossed out?" Tyler said grabbing the condom balloon and chasing a screeching Madison around the living room with it while Josh convulsed into laughter on the chair.

Tyler walked to his locker, his hand intertwined with Josh's. After closing his locker he went to move away but Josh's hand pulled him back. Tyler looked confused to Josh to see what he was doing and followed Josh's gaze to a poster on the wall.

"Oh yeah prom's coming up." Tyler said seeing the poster that hung loosely on the wall. He hadn't really thought about it. All his friends would be there but by friends he meant most of his basketball teammates. He hadn't been to any school gatherings with Josh yet.

"Yeah. I forgot about it too." Josh said before letting Tyler pull him along to class. He wanted to ask Tyler but his anxiety got the better of him. Sure Tyler's friends were all accepting of his relationship status but sometimes they still looked uncomfortable when Josh would kiss Tyler before he went to practice, or how he'd hug him when he got out of the locker rooms. At least they didn't say anything about it. Josh figured if Tyler wanted to go he'd say something.
