Things Get Better (I promise)

Chapter SEVEN

They walked down the empty street. The only thing making noice was their steps and the rain, slowly dripping down. It had been raining and it smelled like asphalt. It was starting to get dark. Josh took out his phone, 10.09pm flashed as a wallpaper of a forest and a text saying "breathe" was in the background.
Josh looked over at Tyler and saw that he was cold. He took off his black sweatshirt and put it around Tylers shoulders. Josh was only wearing a white t-shirt now. "No, d-d-dude. you're gonna be c-c-cold." Tyler said and gave the sweatshirt to Josh."Not colder than you already are." Josh said and threw the sweatshirt at Tyler. Tyler didn't say anything he just put it on.

When they got to champus there were someone listening to really loud music. It sounded like pop music, and not the kind they were into. There was drunk people waddeling around outside. A guy in a white long t-shirt came up to them. He smelled like marijuana. And it looked like he couldn't focuse. He was clearly drunk and high. "Thereeeeh.... thers a crrazy party down intha baiesment." He said. Tyler looked at Josh with a " should we just go to my place" look in his eyes They walked to Tyler's dorm.

Josh sat down in Tylers bed and Tyler searched in his closet. He picked out a pair of baby blue pyjamas. And looked over at Josh. "Wanna borrow pjs?" He said and smiled to Josh. Josh smiled back. "Yeah." He said and Tyler foud a pair of baby pink pj's. He threw them at josh and walked to the bathroom. He heard Josh laugh. He giggled and put his on. He walked out and saw Josh. He was standing shirtless in the light pink pj pants. They looked a little small but he looked good, the color fit him. Tyler looked at him and smiled. "You look cute." Tyler said and laughed. "Oh, shut up." Josh said and rolled his eyes.

Tyler laid down under the sheets and lifted it up on the other side to show Josh that there was room for him too. Josh smiled and laid down with Tyler. Their forheads were touching. Josh closed his eyes. Tyler was looking at Josh. Looking at his eyelashes. Looking at his nose. Looking at his lips. His beatyfull lips. His full, soft, light pink lips. Tyler closed his eyes. He had this weird tingely fealing in his stomach. But he didn't know what it was. He was probably just exited. Exited to have someone to talk to. Someone who listens. Someone like... a friend.

"Tyler?" Josh said. He had a soft, calmb voice. Tyler closed his eyes, hoping Josh couldn't see that he had been looking at him. "Yes?" He said trying to not be worried. "Don't leave me." He said, allmost whispering. Tyler's heart shattred. He had never seen this side of Josh before.
"No, of course not!" He said and opened his eyes. He saw Josh. Josh sat up in the bed, He sniffled. "I-I'm sorry. For being so, so... emotional." Josh said as tears ran down his face. "Josh, it's okay." Tyler said and hugged Josh. "It's gonna be okay." He said and smiled to Josh. Josh smiled back and whiped a tear.

They laid down. Tyler was tierd. This day had been a long day. He just wanted to forget all his problems. Josh laid an arm around Tyler. Tyler cuddled closer to him. He could feel Josh's warm body against his cold back. Josh smiled at Tylers move. It wasn't awkward. It was relaxing. Tyler could feel Josh's heart beat. It was slow and stedy. So calmb. So calmb that Tyler fell asleep only minutes later.
