I forget how attracted to femininity I am sometimes until a girl who jingles like a windchime when she walks and smells like apple pie and has glitter all over her face sits next to me on the bus and compliments my boots and it's like oh cool suddenly I'm an awkward teenage boy going through puberty or something

Despite the ambient noise of the dive bar you were perched in, for the first time in three days you finally felt at peace. You loved your parents, but visiting them these days could be overwhelming, especially with the revolving door of family members showing up unannounced. There was only so much small talk one could take. You had lost count of how many times you described your job, your passion, as an acquisitions editor at a small publishing house, to various family members. Eventually you had to simplify it with a curt, “I get to be the person to say ‘yay,’ or ‘nay’ on their book submissions.” 
You loved your job. As much as it sucked to be the bad guy sometimes, the benefits of being able to work remotely and at your own pace made up for it. Getting paid to read was the best thing to happen to you in your twenties so far, and even though the pay wasn’t spectacular, you wouldn’t trade it for anything. There were times you were worried that making your passion your job would burn you out of reading in your own time, but so far you still found the time to bury your nose in a new tome of choice. 
When you had packed for your trip back home, a small stack of books made it into your luggage, along with your trusty Kindle that was loaded with various quick reads that let you turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. It took everything within you to not check your work emails on your laptop, but you were on the precious few PTO days your employer had allotted everyone in your department, and you were determined to use them properly. 
The bar you had sought refuge in was a local one a few blocks from your house. It was one your dad would always go to hang out with his buddies when you were younger and he was still working that 9-5 throughout the week. 
As you sat on the wobbly bar stool, your ankles crossed and your toes rested on the metal bar attached to the wood paneling of the bar itself. A solitary glass of dark red wine sat on the bar top, inches from the book you were devouring. It wasn’t anything complicated, and many would call it a dime-a-dozen romantic fantasy, filled with magic and tall dark love interests with horrific social skills. But sometimes, the familiar nature of the plot and characters was comforting. The plot might not have been overly unique, but the curiosity of how the author was going to weave together these tropes was half the fun. How was this author going to handle the “oh…” moment between two enemies? What mundane task will trigger the main character into a flashback of a lost love that got away? 
This personal game of yours was a slippery slope, as you had to practically pavlov yourself into not going into work mode while reading, but you kept yourself in check for the most part. At least that's what you would tell yourself. 
You flipped another page in the book, eager to see how the current scene was unfolding. The imagery was building in your mind so well that you hadn’t even noticed a familiar, sweet and dimpled face, had slipped into the bar with a few friends. 
Josh had shed his fluffy, faux fur lined coat, one that was way too ostentatious for the small town atmosphere, but he wrote it off on how practical it was for keeping the cold winter air from chilling his bones. He had decided against the beanie that he typically wore with it, in favor of letting his hair show itself off as it normally did. Tonight was not the night for hat-hair, though the singer was unsure where this conclusion had come from earlier in the evening. The nagging feeling of, you need to look nice, had been lingering in his brain for the past few hours. 
In his typical fashion, he hadn’t shut his mouth the entire time he had been inside the establishment. Rattling off story after story from being on the road with his brothers and their band, cracking up at his own jokes, letting the excitement of being home and seeing the same faces he grew up with. 
The pool table in the far corner had been where his group had settled, drinks settled on the edge with pool sticks in their hands. Josh was bent over the table settling in to make his shot when a figure hunched slightly on a bar stool, turning a page in the book sitting on the bar top.
 Your profile was slightly obscured from where he was an how you were sitting on the stool, and it wasn’t until the bartender came over to refill your wine glass and your name tumbled from their mouth in conversation that it clicked for the rock star who had probably made the worst pool shot in his life at the sound of it. 
You. It was you. 
His cheeks heated in the embarrassment of his shitty shot and the memories that materialized in his mind’s eye. Sitting next to you in algebra, making eye contact and shrugging when neither of you knew whatever the fuck your teacher was talking about. Or walking past you in the hallway as you slammed your locker shut trying to book it to your next class. He’d ignored the sinking feeling he had every time it happened that had him wishing his locker was in the same hall as yours, not annoying around the corner. But other times of bumping elbows with you in the lunch line, sharing grimaces at the dry square pizza in front of you. A few of the dumb sarcastic quips he’d made in class in a hushed whisper  (well, as much of a whisper as Josh Kiszka could produce), just to make you bite your lip and try not to giggle too loud, echoed in his mind. 
He hadn’t seen you since the last week of senior year, specifically at a graduation party one of your mutual friends had thrown together last minute. His final memory of your face was how it crumpled slightly as a very tipsy Morgan Pearson had led him up the stairs. It was an image that had haunted him for a long time, because by the time he had made it back downstairs you had already left the party, and he knew you were off on your summer road trip with your parents in the morning. From there he had observed on Facebook you settling into your freshman dorm in a school that was states away, seemingly doing well. Eventually his own band took over all of his time and his internet scrolling was behind him as he saw the world with his brothers. 
Fuck. 
He needed to talk to you. 
Your eyes flitted over to the next page as you took in the new chapter heading, not wanting to be distracted from the cliffhanger the previous chapter had ended on. 
The heroine had just discovered some deep family secrets that rattled her entire being, changing the entire trajectory of her journey so-
“Whatcha readin’?” 
The fantasy world in your mind dissolved at the sound of that voice. A voice, as the cliche says, you hadn’t heard in years. If it had been anyone else, you would have bitten their head off for rudely interrupting your reading, But slowly your eyes fluttered upwards at the source, using every mitochondria in your body to not visibly react at how…different he looked. Not different in an unrecognizable way, but in a way that showed you that he had grown into his own body. That the boyish awkwardness had evolved into a strong jaw and broad shoulders. He…he had facial hair now, and briefly a memory flashed in your mind of him in junior year lamenting about how patchy his upper lip was no matter what he did. 
The sides of his head were shorn down to the skin, and the dim lighting of the bar had you almost convinced he had a mohawk until you looked closer and saw it was closer to a mullet instead. It was a look you would have never considered for him, but it fit perfectly, and he looked beautiful with it. 
And there it was, the knot that would form in your throat whenever you were in his presence. You hadn’t felt that particular sensation since the night of that god awful graduation party. The very party where you had last seen the man before you. 
Your mouth parted dumbly as he parked himself on the stool next to yours. 
“...Josh?” was all you could say. 
He breathed out your name, in a low tone that made your stomach flip. As he took a sip of whatever mixed drink he had in one hand, his other reached over for your book to get a good look of the cover. Emotional and muscle memory kicked in and you allowed him in your personal space, practically letting him take the book out of your hands. In the past, the two of you were always spatially close. Eating off each other's plates, unconsciously scooting your chairs closer together, or grabbing the same seats on the bus for field trips. You weren’t attached to the hip, but somehow whenever you would be in the same room you’d always end up next to each other. 
Josh mouthed the words of the title silently to himself, eyebrows raising slightly at your book of choice. 
“Must be pretty good, you didn’t even notice me walking over,” he said before taking another sip of his drink. 
A nervous laugh rattled through you, “y-yeah it’s pretty immersive.” 
Your eyes were trained on his face, mapping out all of the same but new features, and you wondered if he was doing the same to you as his warm gaze hadn’t left you. 
Josh was most definitely taking you in, as well. You looked so proper sitting on that stool in an oversized black sweater that fell past your hips and hid most of the skirt you had been wearing under it. He tried his best not to make it obvious he was staring at your legs and the tights that were wrapped around them that led down to your boots. But the singer flicked his eyes back to your face, and noted all the subtle changes since the last time he had seen you. You looked so…grown up now, that he felt like he had missed so much in the last few years. It was a feeling he had whenever he came back home, but with you…with you it bothered him, and that feeling caught him off guard. 
Because he was Josh, and he could never let silence linger too long, “so what made you bring a book to a bar of all places?” 
And in a matter of seconds, you began relaying to him how the trip back home had been the last few days, and how much you needed a break from it all. 
“...you remember that uncle that's technically my dads cousin but I call him uncle cause he’s a lot older than my dad?”
Josh nodded along. 
“He’s so fucking loud, dude. And he never shuts up and because of this my grandmother turns up the TV and no one tells him to quiet down so between the TV blasting and him rambling about the dumbest things…ugh and my mother wouldn’t stop hovering over me! I needed to get out of there.” 
He smiled as you hashed out your family drama, flashing his teeth as he did so. There were follow up questions on his end, asking about your parents and grandparents and how they had been. Josh had been one of your few friends who went out of his way to be charming to your parents. He had earned the, “oh Josh is welcome any time he wants…” invitation by fifth grade alone. 
You took a sip of your wine, “oh my god I’ve been talking so much about me, what about you? How’s the band going?” 
It was his turn to blush slightly as he began telling you about the most recent tour they had been on, and how this was a mini break between tour legs and that at the beginning of the year they were off to a new continent. 
He pointed over his shoulder at his friends who were still milling around the pool table, “...in fact Danny is right over there.” 
You turned and gave the drummer a once-over. The last time you had seen Danny Wagner he was this gangly awkward teenager who nervously laughed at everything. But there he was, in a red sweater with perfect spiral curls spilling over his shoulders. The sweater itself was very form fitting on him and it was easy to see how muscled out his shoulders and arms had become over the years. 
“Holy shit, that’s Danny Wagner?” You gave him a slight wave when he made eye contact with you, and he politely waved back with a shy smile. 
Josh, rather indignantly, noticed the way you were looking at Danny and a sharp stabbing feeling of jealousy shot through him. Heat reached the surface of his cheeks and he momentarily contemplated reaching over to gently turn your chin back to him. 
But before Josh could even shove that thought away, you turned to fully face him, and gave a nod to the bartender to get you another glass of wine. Something deep down felt more settled when your attention was fully back on him.
However, you could feel those big brown eyes staring at you as you glanced at Danny. It was such a fixed stare that you were all too familiar with. In the rare moments that Josh was quiet, he would be staring into space, deep in thought. More often than not you chalked it up to him zoning out, but having those unblinking eyes on you had your heart hammering in your chest. 
It wasn’t the first time he had looked at you like that. There were several small,  fleeting moments throughout your adolescence where you’d catch his eyes on you. On the bus coming home from a field trip, walking towards you at your locker, in US History, and even at various house parties you found yourselves at. Your reaction was always the same: the skin of your neck would heat up and prickle up to your cheeks as they flushed. He never called you on it, and for a long time you had convinced yourself that he just hadn’t noticed. Because he never said anything, the idea of it actually meaning something was too great to get your hopes up for. 
There it was, Josh thought. 
That flush of color that darkened your skin whenever he looked at you for too long. It had taken him an embarrassing amount of time to figure out that he was the cause of it, but when he did he would sometimes make you blush on purpose. Maybe it was an ego thing, but he also couldn’t believe you reacted that way to him. He hated the term of someone being out of someone’s league; but even after being in the spotlight for his career and knowing what it felt like when a room full of people swooned at him he still didn’t feel he was in the same universe as yours. 
You were always so poised and collected, even during your awkward stage. Whereas he was always pinging off the walls with his endless supply of energy and charm. 
Why would you even consider a little shit like him?  
The blissful silence was interrupted however, when you saw the door to the bar swing open and a new group of people rushed in to escape the cold. Josh’s back was to the door, but he watched your eyes travel to the side to look behind him, and he didn’t hesitate to whip his head around to see who you were looking at. 
Only one of them rang a bell, a dirty blonde in a bright blue winter coat. Was she in his home room? No…but her locker had been on the same hallway as his. 
“Is that…?”
“Miranda Sheridan,” you murmured  a little too quickly as you turned back to your wine and fiddled with the corner of your book. In all honesty, you didn’t have an issue with Miranda. The two of you had gotten along just fine in school. Well enough that you secured invites to her house from time to time. Well, Josh, had secured invites for you. 
“Oh yeah her parents had that huge property!” He excitedly remembered while throwing a gentle wave in her direction.
You hated the way your stomach twisted when she waved back.  
Her parents owned a couple of acres out in the county, which wasn’t very elaborate, but it was perfect for a lot of the parties teenagers would get themselves into. Josh particularly remembered her dad had an old toolshed in the back that their friends tried to hot box more than once. 
Naturally, her place had been the place to host the main graduation party. You tried to think of anything else, but your mind flooded with the memories of walking around her house with a cliched solo cup, trying to find Josh, your anchor in social situations, and coming up empty and settling on the couch. When you finally laid eyes on him, he was being led by the hand towards the stairs by another girl. No it hadn’t been Miranda, but someone else in your grade that had a very obvious crush on Josh and never tried hiding it. 
Josh looked over his shoulder, his tongue between his teeth as he laughed at something someone said as he walked by. His smile faded as soon as he saw you, sitting all by yourself on the couch. His feet were moving for him, but not towards you. He was already ascending the stairs, eyes locked on yours before the girl attached to his arm tugged at his wrist to get his attention and he followed her upstairs and out of sight. 
That had been the last time you had seen Josh before tonight. 
And by emotional muscle memory, your stomach plummeted just as it had years ago. 
Before you could stop it, you bit out, “we went to her graduation party, remember?” 
The singer’s head snapped back to face you.
That party. 
His voice was quiet, “you…you left early, didn’t you?”
“I wasn’t feeling well.” 
He could tell it was a lie. An excuse. 
“I just meant…I tried finding you after-”
“After what?” Once again your mouth betrayed you. 
The trunk of the elephant in the room was practically wrapping around Josh’s neck, and his chest felt tight. 
Even softer, he said “after I came downstairs…”
In response, all you did was hum into your glass as you took another sip, an eyebrow arching like a freshly-awoken cat. 
“I had to get home anyway. I had to be on a plane early the next morning.” 
That, he remembered. Your parents had surprised you with a trip across the country as your graduation present. 
But Josh struggled to find the words of what he wanted to say. He hadn’t even been upstairs for twenty minutes before he finally flew down the stairs to find you, only to see the couch filled with different people and one of your other friends informing him that you had caught a ride back home. 
It hadn’t been a complete cut off, the two of you still texted as normal for a few weeks and liked each other's facebook statuses. But the texts became less frequent, and eventually dwindled down to leaving each other on delivered for days at a time. With the band finally starting to take off, and you drowning in your college classes, communication became near impossible. 
“Right…”
“Plus I didn’t want to interrupt your night. You were having too much fun up there.”
This time it was Josh’s turn to twist the side of his mouth and quirk an eyebrow, “what exactly do you think I did that night?”
You scoffed slightly and tilted your head, “Josh.” 
“No, I want you to say it.” 
You stared at him. It felt dumb to get to this point but you weren’t embarrassed. But the same jealousy and adrenaline from that night flooded your system, and after rolling your lip between your teeth you replied, 
“You and…whats her name…hooked u-”
“We didn’t hook up,” he said firmly, not blinking. 
“Made out-”
“We didn’t make out, either.” 
“Well what were you doing up there?” You huffed. 
“Don’t get me wrong, she clearly wanted to do both of those things. But before she could even try to kiss me she was doubled over puking all over the bathroom sink. I spent the next few minutes holding her hair while she let it all out. Apparently all of the vodka shots caught up with her.” 
You sat there, face unmoving as you took in what he said. For years you had it built up in your head that while you were fleeing that house your best friend was hooking up with someone else. 
Now the embarrassment started to creep in. 
The quiet tone returned, “I didn’t even like her like that anyway.” 
You wanted the ground to open up and swallow you now. 
You had to get out of here. This was too much. 
“I need to get going,” you began as you started to dig through your purse to pay for your drinks.
Josh was quicker than you and he turned to the bartender and slapped his card down on the bar top and asked to pay for his tab and yours. 
“Josh you don’t have to-” 
“But I am,” he said firmly, looking at you out of the corner of his eye as he scribbled on the receipts. 
That tone…that tone was new coming from him. He wasn’t angry, he wasn’t annoyed, but he was being authoritative in a way you hadn’t heard before. 
Your insides were squirming for multiple reasons now. 
After the bills were settled he faced you again. He wasn’t letting you slip away again. He couldn’t.  
“Let me walk you home.”
You slid off the bar stool, “it's only a couple blocks, Josh, you don’t have to.” 
“I want to.” 
There was again, that tone. 
Not wanting to fight anymore, you nodded and the both of you made your way to the exit for your coats. You caught Josh tapping out a quick text to who you assumed was Danny to let him know where he was going. 
Silently the two of you slipped outside and into the winter air. The icy breeze stung your face after being used to the heat of the bar. You shivered slightly, but tried not to show it as you turned toward the direction of your house. 
Josh shoved his hands in his pockets for warmth, noticing the tiny flakes that had begun to fall from the sky. Had it even been forecasted to snow tonight? In any case, he purposely walked a little closer to you, letting your arms brush together. 
“I didn’t know it was supposed to snow tonight?” You wondered out loud. 
“Mother Nature is spiteful, that way, I guess.”
He hated how awkward it felt now. How the familiarity and ease of talking to you had evaporated as soon as Miranda Sheridan had chosen that specific bar to walk into. 
Soon enough, your house was in view, and your steps picked up the pace to get there faster. Josh followed you into the driveway and to the side of the garage where there were stairs that led up to your room above it. You moved into that space your senior year after your dad had renovated it, and he had only been in it a handful of times before graduation. 
Before you could even reach for the rail, Josh’s hand flew out of his pocket and took a hold of yours, gently lacing your fingers with his. 
The sudden contact had your heart in your throat. 
“You really thought I hooked up with her?” He felt your hand stiffen at his words, but he continued, “as soon as I saw you on that couch, I knew I was making a mistake.”
The flakes started coming down harder now, growing in size as they fell. 
“But you still went up there.”
His shoulders sank slightly, “I know…I shouldn’t have though. She wasn’t the girl I liked anyway.”
Denial is a strong thing, and you were letting it win, “she wasn’t?”
“No…I liked someone else but I second guessed myself all the time around her, thinking she’d never be into me anyway.” 
“How could you be sure of that?”
Josh’s fingers squeezed your hand, “I don’t know she just…she could do so much better than me and there were plenty of better options out there. Never thought I stood a chance.”
Your jaw started trembling and you weren’t sure if it was from the cold or from what he was implying.
 
“You really think there are better options than you?” You mirrored his earlier comment back to him. 
His eyes slowly met yours, deliberately giving you the look he knew would darken your cheeks. 
“So much better…”
“I don’t think so…,” your voice was almost as soft as the snow that was accumulating on the ground around you. 
Consequences be damned, you started to lean towards his face. 
His long eyelashes fluttered slightly as he realized what you were doing, and he leaned in and gently brushed his full lips against yours.
At the contact, your heart went from hammering in your chest to exploding. Years of daydreaming of this scenario had finally come to an end, culminating in a kiss that had your knees shaky.
He pulled away slightly to look at you again, only to surge forward and slide his free hand up your jaw to cradle your face. His lips pressed against yours even harder, a sudden wave of emotion taking the wheel in Josh’s mind. 
The both of you had years of pent up feelings and the dams were breaking. 
His other hand reluctantly dropped your hand in favor of wrapping his arm around your waist to pull you closer. 
The move took you by surprise, but you relaxed in his arms and tilted your head slightly and parted your lips. Immediately his tongue ran along your bottom lip before delving into your mouth. A low groan rose from his throat and his fans flexed slightly against your cheek.
A gust of wind whipped around you, causing you to shiver against his lips. 
“N-need to get you inside,” Josh chuckled, leaning his forehead on yours. 
You took a step backwards, resting your foot on the first step. 
“Come up with me?”
He answered with a quick kiss on your lips and mumbled, “lead the way…”
With a grin you turned and hurried up the steps, trying your best not to slip in the slush. Your hands shook as you unlocked your door, nearly stumbling inside to escape the cold. 
As soon as you had shut the door, Josh pushed you against it and started unzipping your coat and planting his lips on your neck. You made quick work of his too and both outer layers were haphazardly thrown onto a chair in the corner. His icy hands started fiddling with the bottom of your sweater, and you both paused at the silent question of going forward. 
He lifted his head out of the crook of your neck to look at you, “we don’t have to if you don’t…I mean we can just hang out if thats all-” 
You shushed him by taking his strong jaw in your hands and gave him a searing kiss. He kissed you back as another wave of emotion washed over him.
 
After letting his lips warm up against yours you pulled back and stared into his eyes, “Josh…this is all I want right now.” 
His eyelashes fluttered again, and this time his cheeks were darkening at the look you were giving him. 
“You sure?” 
“Please…”
Not needing to be told twice, his hands disappeared under your sweater and swept across the skin of your sides. You jolted slightly at how cold they were, but didn’t let it deter you from kissing him again, melting into his touch. His hands slowly rose to cup your breasts through your bra, and the light squeeze had you fighting to keep the low whine in your throat. 
Josh noticed you holding back and leaned in to whisper in your ear, “it’s just me…let me hear you…” 
The low tone of his voice had your body shivering under his hands and when his teeth grazed the skin of your neck you didn’t even try to hold back the breathy whine you made. Impatiently you helped him get your sweater off of your body, flinging it blindly to the side. You stared at the hungry look in his eyes as you reached behind your back to unhook your bra. Wanting to torture him even further, you purposely took your time letting it slide off your arms and onto the floor. His eyes never left your chest as he reached to take one of your breasts into his hand, pinching and rolling your nipple between his fingers. Before you could fully register the feeling he was bending his head down to replace his fingers with his mouth, moaning into your soft skin. He gave the other side the same attention, before reaching behind you for the zipper to your skirt. 
As he knelt down to shimmy it down your hips, you practically clawed at his long sleeve shirt off of him. The lighting  in your room was dim, but you were able to see all of the muscles on his body that were definitely not there the last time you saw him. His arms were much more toned than you thought, and his shoulders and chest were defined in a way that had your lip rolling into your mouth between your teeth. 
Josh made quick work in getting your boots off, helping you step out of them and your skirt. His eyes flicked up at you and they were so much darker than before. He rose to his feet quickly and slammed his mouth onto yours, squeezing your hips and the back of your thighs as he directed you to jump and wrap your legs around him. With a level of coordination you didn’t know he had, you were spun around while he walked the both of you to your bed. It was still in the same place it always had been, in the corner by the window. 
He gently sat you on the edge of the bed, kissing down your body until he was once again knelt before you on the floor. The sight of his blown out pupils and swollen lips sent a flash of heat to your core, and you couldn’t even squeeze your thighs together as he was rolling your tights down your legs and swiftly off your feet. 
You never could have anticipated how the night was going to turn out, so your choice in underwear wasn’t the sexiest pair you owned, but that didn’t stop your best friend from planting kisses along the waist band, tentatively dipping his finger tips under the cotton material to start pulling them down. Your breath caught as you raised your hips to help him out, and within seconds your final layer of clothing was added to the pile on the floor. 
Looking down at him, you scooted back towards the headboard with your legs shut, and he crawled up the bed after you. With your head settled on your pillow he hovered above you for a moment, bringing his hand to trace along your jaw and down your neck, looking at you in a way you had only dreamed about thus far. 
You weren’t going to get emotional, but you couldn’t help it. It was just fully hitting you, as you felt the heat radiate off his body, and the weight of him as he settled on top of you. Thankfully your eyes only welled up a tiny bit, but Josh still noticed and his brow furrowed. His eyes softened and he seemed to sense why you were suddenly still and quiet. He could always guess what you were feeling, even when you were kids. 
His thumb brushed your lips so softly you barely felt it, “I know…” 
He kissed the corner of your mouth before leaving a trail of kisses down your throat, chest, and stomach. He brushed his lips across the skin right above your core where your curls started to grow. He was so close to where you needed him. Carefully he planted a few kisses on your thighs before drawing your legs up and bending your knees, taking his time in case you changed your mind at any point. 
Slowly, he spread your legs apart to finally get a proper look at you, and his breath caught in his throat as your gorgeous core laid bare before him. He was glued to his spot on the bed, eyes sweeping your body, having his own moment of realizing that this was real, and you were actually beneath him like this. His eyes traveled back up to yours, unusually silent for someone who always has something to say, no matter the situation. 
Instead, he traveled down the soft flesh of your thigh, leaving searing kisses in his wake. Just when you thought he was going to reach your core, he turned his head to do the same to your other leg. A low whine rumbled in your throat, and you felt his lips spread into a smile against your skin. You felt the faintest huff of breath as he tried to contain a laugh. 
His mouth hovered over your core, just out of reach. He wanted to memorize you, every detail, every feature that was so uniquely you. He used his thumbs to slowly spread your lips apart, dumbfounded at just how wet you were for him and how your arousal was beginning to pool and drip off of you. 
Your hips twitched in his hands, desperate for any contact beyond his feather-light touches. The way he was looking at your body, with blown out pupils and a parted mouth was only driving you crazier. 
At last, he couldn’t hold himself back anymore before dipping his head down to plunge his tongue into your center, moaning as he finally tasted you. A years-long curiosity was answered, and it was better than anything he had tried to imagine. 
The vibrations had you involuntarily arching into his face. He wasted no time to begin lapping at your folds, swirling his tongue wherever he could. But when he finally wrapped his lips around your clit, stars exploded behind your eyelids as you squeezed your eyes shut. 
“Fuck…” was shouted towards the ceiling, and it encouraged him even more as he sucked even harder on your clit as one of his fingers circled your entrance. One of your hands shot down to his hair, tangling your fingers in his curls to hold him in place. His tongue was swirling around your clit now and the finger that had been teasing you slowly entered. Immediately your walls clenched around him, relishing the friction and slight stretch it brought you. 
Josh continued to pump and curl his finger inside you as he spoiled your clit with his tongue. He was so hard that his pants were nearly suffocating him, but he ignored it in favor of giving you all of his attention. A second finger joined the first inside you, and he curled them upwards to hit that spot inside you that had your fingers nearly pulling out his hair and grinding against his face. He could feel the muscles in your thighs tense and strain against his ears. You kept trying to close your legs completely around him, but he used his other hand to anchor you down and keep you spread so he could reach you properly. 
The spring inside you was coiling tighter and tighter, each drag of his fingertips and swipe of his tongue sent you hurtling closer and closer to the edge. 
You were past the point of moaning and could only muster pitiful whines and whimpers. You were so fucking close,  and clinging to his fingers so tightly that he could barely move them. He flattened his tongue against your clit, letting your hips grind and chase your high against him for a few seconds before closing his lips around it once more and sucked on it harshly as you shouted his name. His fingers and mouth worked you through it, letting you ride it out and prolong it as best he could. When your clit became too sensitive he peppered kisses along your thighs again, continuing to pump his fingers slower and slower until he was sure he had felt the last twitch and aftershock of your orgasm. 
He carefully pulled his fingers from you and immediately brought them to his mouth, savoring your taste while cleaning himself off. You used this moment to pull your hand from his hair and down to his cheek, tilting his gaze to you as you propped yourself up on your other elbow. The moonlight caught the shine of your arousal mixed with the matted facial hair. 
Josh quickly sat up on his knees to work at his belt, impatiently sliding off the bed for a moment to fully pull his pants down his legs and off his feet. He was left in his tight boxers, leaving nothing to the imagination as his length pulsed under the fabric. 
Now, it was your turn to crawl over to him, your mouth watering as your eyes traveled down his torso and followed his happy trail to the band of his boxers. You reached up and curled your fingers around the elastic, peeling the final layer of clothing down his thighs and let them pool around his ankles. 
Your eyes were on his cock now, marveling at just how thick it was. Tentatively you reached your hand up to wrap your fingers around it. The feeling of it twitch slightly against your palm sent a shot of arousal through your body. 
He stood stock still at the edge of the bed, his entire body tensing as you touched and felt him. His lower lip was trapped between his teeth and he nearly drew blood when you bent forward and placed a soft kiss on the head. But it was when your lips wrapped around him and your hand slid to the base that his head rolled back on his shoulders and your name escaped his lips. 
A drop of pre-cum landed on your tongue and you wanted nothing more to keep going until he was a whiny mess, shuddering under your touch. 
All too soon his hips backed away from you, pulling his cock from your mouth as you looked up at his almost apologetic eyes. 
“If you keep doing that…”
“But I wanted to keep doing that,” you nearly whined up at him. 
He closed his eyes for a second and breathed through his nose, trying to calm himself down. 
He looked down at you, dark eyes swimming in desire, “but there’s so much more I want to do with you first…” 
He kicked the boxers fully off his feet before kneeling over you on the bed again, flattening you back against your pillows as your legs spread to allow his hips to settle against yours. Briefly his cock was trapped between you, and the feeling of it radiating heat against your skin made you anticipate the next move even more. He captured your lips with his as one of his hands reached down to grip himself, running the head of his cock through your folds and allowing your arousal to coat him before he positioned himself at your entrance. 
You took his bottom lip between your teeth and angled your hips towards him, desperate to finally feel him. 
Slowly he pushed forward, trying to pace himself so this night wouldn’t end embarrassingly fast. 
The way he stretched you as he pushed all the way in had you seeing stars. You felt so full in the best way, like he was made for you. 
“S-so tight…” he hissed as he fully sheathed himself inside you, his pelvic bone resting on your clit. 
Your legs instinctively wrapped around his hips to keep him in place, wanting him as close to you as possible. 
The two of you remained still, getting used to the feeling of one another before Josh’s own needs started to creep up on him. He pulled back out slightly, before pushing back in. He buried his face into the crook of your neck as he began to move, kissing your neck and throat as you mewled at the stretch and drag of his cock. One arm of his framed your head while the other slid underneath you to grip your ass. He tilted your hips this way so that his pelvis was grinding perfectly against your clit as he built up speed. 
Your nails dug until the skin of his shoulder blades as you tried to hold onto him. You were still so sensitive from your previous orgasm that your second one was quickly building up inside you. You locked your ankles at the small of his back while your hands reached for his face to crash your lips against his. 
At this point he was slamming into you, chasing not only his own high but yours. He needed to feel it. The euphoric squeeze around his fingers earlier wasn’t enough. He needed more. He needed to feel your entire body shudder and quake underneath him;  around him. The sound of your bodies colliding with each other was driving him insane. 
The hand that had been gripping your ass slid around your hip and snaked between you and his fingers pinched and rolled your clit expertly, making your second orgasm his only priority. 
Your back arched at the contact the combined friction of his thick cock and his fingers had you flying off the edge, clamping down around him as you shouted his name again into the air. 
“God..fuck…sh-,” expletives tumbled from his mouth as he felt you shake from your orgasm. He tried to hold back but his cock twitched inside you and he bottomed out one last time as his release coated your walls. He tried his best to keep working you through yours, using every synapse in his brain to ignore his own heightened sensitivity. 
Eventually, you both came down from your highs and your bodies relaxed against each other and the bed. Your eyes fluttered open to find him staring at you, his face soft like it had been when he had first looked at your body fully. His lips were parted in awe, and you brushed your thumb across them. 
“That…should’ve happened a long time ago…” he confessed trying to catch his breath. 
“Agreed.”
His mouth formed a smile and his eyes twinkled, “but hey…this time I really did go upstairs with a girl and hooked up with her…”
“Josh!” Your eyes widened and you playfully pushed his shoulder. He laughed into a kiss before turning to look at the door on the far wall of your room. 
“Bathroom, right?”
You nodded with a smile and he slowly pulled out of you, hissing at the sensitivity and the cold air hitting his cock. He beelined for the door and you heard water running briefly before he returned with a thankfully warm washcloth to clean the both of you up. He discarded it into the hamper before crawling back into bed with you, gathering your body in his arms under the covers. 
The way his breath washed over your neck was so comforting and warm that sleep quickly overtook you and you drifted off while you felt his lips brush your skin. 
The next morning, sunlight streamed into your room. Josh was the first to pry his eyes open, and in the silence he took in just how much of a time capsule your room was. The same posters were on your walls, a couple film posters he had given you himself. An obsolete iHome sat on the top of your dresser, surrounded by a collection of jewelry and trinkets that looked familiar to him. 
You stirred in his arms, and he rasped in your ear, “Mmm…morning, lover.” 
The endearment sent a jolt of adrenaline through you and your eyes shot open. It was real. He was really in your bed, his strong arms holding you as those beautiful eyes looked at you in reverence. Your heart was stuttering in your chest. 
“Morning…” you replied, forefinger and thumb capturing his chin and pulling him down for a slow kiss. 
For a while the two of you just cuddled in silence, before a buzz from Josh’s pants pocket on the floor alerted him to a text. Reluctantly, he reached down towards the floor to fish his phone out of the pocket. His notifications were a bunch of texts from his brothers asking for his whereabouts and when he was going to grace them with his presence again. Quickly he typed out a few responses, not fully giving away how his night ended up but letting them know he wasn’t lying in a ditch somewhere. 
He sighed as he placed his phone on your nightstand. 
“I’m being summoned…”
You felt a pang in your heart, the other reality of him eventually leaving hitting you. 
He felt you tense in his arms and his brows furrowed, “what’s wrong?” 
You turned to face him fully, not wanting to sound needy or clingy, but not knowing how else to put it, “I just…I don’t want you to go…” 
“You can come with me if you want! I’m sure my mom would love to see you and Jake-”
You cut him off, “right but…what happens after that?” 
He looked confused, “what do you mean?” 
You wanted the earth to open up and swallow you at this point, but you needed to know, “what does this mean…?” 
Realization formed on his face as he connected the dots, then shyness crept over his features, “what do you want it to mean?”
“We can’t just go back to being friends now…I can’t pretend that this never happened and-.” your chin wobbled a little as you tried to explain yourself, trying to keep your emotions at bay, but remembering how he had literally just called you lover made it impossible. 
“I don’t think we can go back to being just friends either…” he started. You started to panic  before he continued, “and I don’t have it in me to even try to pretend this never happened. I can’t go back to being a stranger, or just some guy you went to school with.”
“You were never just some guy, Josh…”
He rolled over you, hovering his face above yours, “then maybe…we can see how this goes…?”
You bit your lip, “yeah?” 
He smiled, “yeah,” before slotting his lips over yours and giving you the most tender kiss so far. He relaxed on top of you, allowing himself to be wrapped up in your arms as you lazily made out together as the sun slipped behind some clouds and it began snowing again. 
Eventually you made it out of bed to shower and get dressed. As Josh donned his outfit from the night before, he couldn’t help but be a little smug at how it would be a dead giveaway to what he had been up to the previous night. But then he remembered who his brothers were. 
He looked up hastily as he tied his shoes, “I do have to warn you that my brothers are going to be really annoying about this, but just ignore it.” 
You placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, “it’ll be fine, Josh.” 
He smiled and rose to his feet, kissing you again. 
Soon you were carefully making it down the snowy steps, trying to get to your car when Josh froze on the bottom step. You nearly collided with his back when you looked in the direction he was looking at and made direct eye contact with…your father. Your dad was standing on the covered porch, drinking a coffee. 
Well fuck. 
Josh and your dad seemed to be in a weird staring contest, silently communicating with each other. 
You stepped around Josh, hitting your key fob to unlock your car. 
“Not exactly what I had in mind when I told you you were always welcome at my house, Josh…” 
Your face flushed with embarrassment, “oh my god, Dad…” 
Quickly you and Josh bolted to your car, but not before Josh gave a toothy grin and wave at your dad, exclaiming, “nice to see you!” before shutting his door. 
You gave him a look as you clicked your seatbelt and started the car. 
He threw his hands up. grinning, “what? It could’ve been worse.” 
But as you pulled out of your driveway, and pulled up to the first stop sign on the street, Josh reached over the console and took your hand, bringing your fingers to his lips and giving them a soft kiss. The embarrassment from earlier melted away as he gave you that look again.
Your cheeks betrayed you and splotched with red. Inwardly you figured you’d always do that when he looked at you like that, and the thought warmed you instead of bothering you this time. 
It wasn’t long before you pulled into Josh’s family driveway. The drive over had been pure muscle memory and comfortable silence between the two of you. 
But as you got out of your car, you were met with the all too familiar voice of his youngest brother, Sam. 
“Oh my fucking god, I knew it!” He yelled from the top of the driveway. 
“Shut up, Sam,” Josh warned as he rounded the car to you and took your hand.
“Shut up, Sam,” the younger brother mocked right back at him, laughing his signature laugh. 
But for once, the holidays didn’t seem as daunting now that you had your best friend, Josh, back at your side.

I’m imagining the iced chai gang getting really excited over matching holiday pajamas 😌🥰✨
I love the idea!
I'm combining your matching pj's ask and @lipstickitty's prompt request for flannel pajamas, fireplace laden with stockings, and a Christmas cactus.
Tumblr media
An Iced Chai Holiday Blurb
Prompt Requests
Josh X Danny x Lovie
Warnings: This is pure holiday sweetness, but as a reminder the Iced Chai Universe is 18+ Only!
December 23rd, 2024. Christmas Eve Eve. Lovie rushed around their home finishing laundry, packing suitcases, wrapping last minute gifts. Josh, Danny, Hazel and herself were flying out the next morning to go to her boys hometown to visit with family. As she was zipping up her cosmetics bag her phone rang, looking at the caller ID she sees it's her Danny.
"Hey, what's up?" She questions, plopping her baggie in her suitcase before grabbing another travel bag to hold Josh's cosmetics.
Danny sighs, disappointment in his voice," I have bad news. My dad tested positive for COVID and they were with Josh's parents two nights ago... It's cancelled.... I guess we just have to do Hazel's first Christmas at home until my parents are feeling better."
Disappointment settling in her gut," I'm so sorry love, is he doing alright?"
"Yeah he says he feels pretty okay, but he can't taste or smell anything." Danny replies she could hear the faint noises of Josh adding things to their shopping cart in the background, a plastic and metallic thud every now and again. Quickly walking out to the living room she turns on the holiday lights and the fireplace, making the room extra cozy for her boys to come home to. Lighting a vanilla chai spice candle as Danny wraps up the phone call telling her that they'll be home soon from the store. Folding the blankets on the couch and turning on a few more strands of twinkle lights to make their home extra cozy and comforting she waits for them to return from the store. Hearing keys jingle in the door she gets up to greet them. She giggles as she sees Josh coming in with armfuls of target bags, his bright smile shining as he jests," One trip baby!"
Danny comes sauntering in with much less in his arms, their baby in her carrier and a small plant in the other.
Furrowing her brows she points," A Christmas cactus?"
Smiling softly he extends the plant out towards her," Yeah.. I saw it by the register, my mom always has one on the table next to the Christmas cookies..."
A frown settles on her face," oh baby.. I'm sorry. We're still going to have a nice time, I promise."
"No, I know. It will be, just wanted to bring a little bit of childhood memories back."
Her eyes widening as an idea pops in her head," ooh! Hold on!"
Shuffling to the bedroom she rifles through their drawers pulling out three sets of red flannel pajama pants, heading to the closet to find three red shirts. Heading out to the living room," Here! Christmas pajamas!"
Josh chuckles from the kitchen, opening the red and white target bag," Ah, actually Love, I got that covered."
He reaches into the bag pulling out three adult sized sets of matching red flannel pajamas embroidered with Christmas trees.
"I went a little overboard when I realized we were staying home for Christmas, I found these too...' rifling through the bags he finds the one he wants pulling out four stockings and walking them over to the fireplace. Hanging them on the hooks she reads the initials on each red velveteen stocking, 'D, J, L, & H'
Turning towards her with a rosy blush on his cheeks," One of the bags is filled with stocking stuffers too"
Peering into the rest of the bags she finds a bunch of things to make their day special, given the sudden change of plans. Candies and cookie dough, stocking stuffers, a gingerbread house kit, peppermint hot cocoa, as well as ingredients to make Christmas dinner.
"Oh! You guys did so well!" Wrapping her arms around Josh's middle, laying her head down on his chest as she hugs him," I think this is going to be a lovely little Christmas."
Josh hums, agreeing," It'll be lovely, as long as it's with our beautiful family."

Hello! I was just wondering if you're planning on continuing IWBTLY Sam's Version? Totally cool if you're not, this isn't me trying to pressure you or anything. I'm just genuinely curious and excited if you are!

My first thought was Danny shotgunning Josh's drag of a cigarette and @lipstickitty took it up a notch 😵‍💫
"Imagine Danny batting his lashes at Josh and asking for a drag off his cigarette, and instead of passing him the cig Josh takes a big hit and pulls Danny in close, letting his lips brush over Danny’s as he exhales. A shiver running down Danny’s spine as he breathes in the smoke, his exhale shuddering on the way out "
