Josh hadn’t realised how much the guys sucked until he’d met you. He knew that they were pricks, that he’d felt so negatively around them. They’d poke at him for being fat and Jewish, when he literally couldn’t control one of those things! Yeah…

But with you, Josh realised how stressed and angry the boys made him, since that energy was fostered in Bills goon dungeon, which was his mother’s basement. Of course it was. You made him feel genuinely happy, since you were kind and shared interests in a healthy way. It was new, he was used to being in the toxic community of fandoms.

In summary, he preferred hanging out with you. It was like a breath of fresh air when his lungs were full of smoke. You didn’t bully him or whatever, you just genuinely enjoyed his company and your interests.

You were at his house, or rather his mother’s house, in his room like two kids on a play date, discussing theories and stuff about your shared interests.
