The Unforgiving Reality we Live in (skylox)

Step 2

Ty ended up staying at the guy's place. It turned out that Ty couldn't walk, due to shock. Adam had to carry him to his apartment complex, which was far from Ty's own apartment. 

"Do you want some water?" Adam asked, getting up. 

Ty looked up at him, noticing how tall he was. Ty might as well say that he was only up to Adam's shoulders. The warm blanket that was wrapped around him rubbed his nose. Putting his knees up, Ty leaned back upon the soft couch. He shook his head.

Step two

-

"Well you gotta drink something." Adam put his hands on his hips. 

What about him? Wasn't he drunk just a few moments ago? Ty bit his cheek, throwing part of the blanket that draped over his shoulders above his head. He looked down, now noticing how his knees slightly shook. 

Adam noticed this as well, and sat down next to Ty. 

"You okay?" Adam asked. 

Ty didn't answer, staring at his knees. Adam looked at him for a moment, before speaking.

"Y'know, when I'm stressed, or feeling down in the dumps, a little music helps me clear my mind." Adam smiled, getting up. He walked into a room, causing Ty to tighten his grip onto the white fuzzy blanket. 

Adam came back a few moments later with a guitar. He still had a comforting smile upon his face, Ty noticed. Adam sat down on the couch opposite of him, his smile widening. He looked down at the guitar strings, and began to strum. The song was comforting, it was calming. 

Ty looked up at Adam, whose hair was still a mess. 

The two sat, with only a guitar to fill in the silence. Ty watched Adam's silent joy upon his music. 

Adam was a good person. Ty dug his nose into the blanket. Maybe there were people like him. 

As Adam strummed his last note, his expression softened. The two sat in silence, Ty still looking at Adam, who was looking at his callused fingers. 

...No.

 Ty watched as Adam blinked back into reality, and quickly look up. His messy hair shifted in front of his face, covering some of his features. Adam's dazed expression took away his smile into a straight line. 

"Ah, sorry. I forgot that you were here-" Adam was suddenly caught off as Ty stood up. Ty put his left hand onto the coffee table between them, his face still expressionless. Ty leaned forward, until his face was slightly above Adam's. Ty reached out his free hand, and shifted Adam's bangs delicately to the side. Now he could see his face better. The two stared at each other, Adam's eyes wide in surprise. 

The blanket clung drowsily onto Ty's shoulders. His eyes.. his eyes. Adam realized the colors. Ty's hand caressed Adam's cheek unknowingly. 

...No, Ty was wrong. There's no other person like him. This one's one of a kind. 

Adam's hand rose, and was about to shift Ty's bangs to get a better view of his face, but Ty's hand shifted to quickly grip Adam's wrist. Ty's eyes softened. 

What is this? Adam felt something lighten in his chest. His hands were warm. 

Ty then let go, and leaned back. He sat back down, shifting the blanket. Ty left it clinging onto his shoulders, no longer using it has a hood. 

"U-Uhm, oh yeah! Water! Y-Yes!" Adam bolted up, his shoulders tense. Adam's cheeks heavily blushed a deep red, to which he quickly went to the kitchen to grab the water Ty didn't request. Ty watched him go, before looking back at the guitar that rested onto the couch. 

The guitar looked well handled, and still in good condition. He must treat it well. Ty looked at his right hand. The warmth from before was quickly soaking back in and disappearing. Ty blinked at it, but then a glass of water was suddenly placed on the palm of it. Ty looked up, and stared at Adam's smiling face. A tint of red was of his cheeks, and his hair was slightly soaked. He must of splashed water on his face. Ty brought up his left hand and correctly gripped the cup. Adam let go of the cup, and sat back down. But this time next to Ty. Ty slowly drank the cold water, staring at the coffee table. The glass had a small unnoticed crack. 

"You can stay in my room tonight. I'll sleep on the couch." Ty turned his head to look at Adam. 

"I'll drop you off in the morning." Adam said, standing up. "C'mon, my bedroom is this way."

Adam woke up in the middle of the night, remembering his phone was in his room. He had to call his boss, to say he'll be late for work tomorrow. Adam got up, blinking his eyes to focus. He got up, and slowly walked down the small hallway. He then reached his hand towards the doorknob to his room. Slowly turning it, he creaked the door open, and noticed the guy was still sleeping. Adam crept in, leaving the door open to pour in light. Adam looked over at Ty, who slept on his back. His messy hair was slightly spread out, his arms outstretched to the sides. 

Adam brought out his hand and gently shifted his bangs, taking a good look at his features. Adam noticed that he was actually, after looking at him, pretty cute. Adam's eyes slowly followed downwards, and noticed Ty's slightly parted lips. Adam's thumb lightly traced his lower lip, slightly pushing down on it. Suddenly Adam noticed what he was doing. He quickly backed away, his hands covering his blushing face. What on earth was he doing?! Adam grabbed his phone and lightly rushed out, shutting the door softly. 

Adam knelt down, panting. He shifted back his bangs in embarrassment, taking a big inhale of breath. What on earth? What that boy even human!? Adam was now convinced that the guy was some sort of descended angel to take pity upon him.
