SB19 ONESHOTS

"Josh, you look fine," the younger stressed the last word in an attempt to assure him. "Stop freaking out."

But the older still fidgeted, pacing back and forth.

"You're gonna kill yourself before you can even meet him." Ken commented, sitting on Stell's lap and leaning his body against the taller's chest.

"Easy for you two to say, you're already dating!" Josh whined plopping down on the sofa.

The couple looked at each other and shook their heads, sitting beside Josh.

"What are you even worried about? The guy likes you. He asked you out on a date."

"I don't know, I'm just nervous."

"It's natural to be. You remember how nervous I was before I dated Stell."

"But it was easy for you two! You've been crushing on each other since junior year!" Ken placed his hands on his older brother's shoulders in an attempt to calm him down.

"Yes, but I was still nervous. It's okay to be scared, kuya. You just need to think about him, and him only. You like him, right?"

"Yes."

"So there you go! Just focus on that." Josh sighed and hugged his brother.

"Thanks. What would I do without you?"

"You'd probably be sobbing into a gallon of ice cream by now." Stell joked, grinning at his boyfriend's reaction.

The doorbell rang and Josh stood up, taking a deep breath.

"Wish me luck."

"Good luck, kuya. Love you."

"I love you too, Keun. Stell, ten thirty, okay? And as much as possible, keep it PG-13, please?"

"Absolutely." But his smile said otherwise. Josh shook his head and laughed.

"I mean it." As he locked the door, he was greeted by a well-dressed Justin, displaying his infamous gummy smile.

"Hey." Josh smiled, reaching up to hug the taller.

"Hey," he felt the younger kiss his hair. "Ready to go?"

"Are you sure your parents are fine with us?" Josh asked as Justin parked his car on their garage.

Justin nodded, smiling. "They said they were happy that I finally found someone who made me happy." Josh blushed and avoided the younger's gaze, earning a small chuckle from the latter.

"Cutie." Justin muttered as he got out of the car. He opened the door for Josh and held his hand as they walked to the front door.

"Hi kuya." A girl greeted him, giving a high-five to the younger of the two.

"Hey, Lex. Are they inside?"

"Yep. Tita made your favorite pasta." Once again, his gummy smile appeared and he looked at Josh, smile softening at how nervous he was.

"Remember the guy I told you about?" He asked the girl, pulling Josh to his side.

"The one you can't stop thinking about?"

"Yeah. Alex, this is Josh. Josh, my little cousin Alex." They exchanged a high-five and he smiled back at her.

"Oh my god, Tita is so gonna freak. Hold on to him, kuya. Tita might lock him up." The two cousins laughed as they, along with Josh, walked into the house.

"Smells delicious." Justin commented, still holding on to Josh.

"It is your birthday, in case you forgot."
