Summary
“I can be civil, Joseph. I can put aside our differences if needed,” Josh continued, staring into Tyler's soul. “Can I expect you to do the same? To be able to talk to me like an adult? You’re my linemate. I need to know that you have my back and that each time we talk it won’t end in a shit-fest.”
Tyler Joseph knew this was his year to shine; he was one of the top players on his college hockey team, he finally found a place he fit in, and he was quite content with his routine of school, hockey, and friends. He could do no wrong. At least, that was until the new guy showed up and turned everything upside down.

Summary
Tyler reached a hand up. He wanted to touch the sky. He wanted to pull the stars down around him so he could prove that nothing was brighter than Josh’s smile.
The sky wasn’t as beautiful as Josh. The sky didn’t have the deep warmth of his eyes, it didn’t have the sound of his laughter, there were no wrinkles or smile lines. No smell of aftershave and generic deodorant. Tyler didn’t know why Josh was so obsessed with aliens, when he was the most interesting thing Tyler had ever seen.
Why go to heaven when there was somewhere better far from the sun?

Summary
tyler joined a frat for the same reasons as everybody else: friends, parties, and an excuse for how much he drinks.
ask any other brother in kappa delta rho and they’d probably throw girls on that list, too. most of the ones they obsess over are the same copy-and-paste sorority stereotype. tyler’s never understood it.
*
tyler is a deeply closeted frat boy, and josh is the unfortunate loser that ruins his life.
