second thoughts; tysh [?]

tyler turned around. he had shared one class with josh, which happened to be english, and he motioned for josh to leave class with him, which josh did. as they stood out in the hall, now skipping, josh rubbedd his left arm nervously.

"go out with me." tyler simply stated, making josh choke on his own spit as the smaller boy blushed darkly, before hurriedly shaking his head. tyler raised an eyebrow.

"i thought you liked me?" he asked sarcastically. josh nodded and bit his lip.

"u-u-u-uhm, i-i-i d-d..d-do b-but i-i-i w-w-wanna g-go on da-dates w-with s-someone b-b-be-before th-they a-a-a-ask m-m-me o-o-out.." josh softly replied, his gaze focused on the ground timidly. tyler mentally groaned. god, this was going to be annoying. especially with his stupid stutter.

"okay. then let's go on a date." tyler replied, grinning. josh hesitated.

"r-right n-n-now?"

"right now."

and that's how the two boys ended up at the park. tyler mostly talking, but josh happily listening.

he was ecstatic that tyler was interested.
