Chapter 7- Deep Sleep

"I...I don't know what to say," Joshua exclaimed, staring down at his own lap.

"You don't have to say anything. I get it if you want me to leave."

Josh could've said no. He could've told the boy to leave, he had the option to. But yet, he still shook his head immediately, not wanting the boy to leave.

He didn't know why, but something in his head told him to. His life was basically nothing, an endless sea of school and tv. He never had anything to do, and he was surprised by the fact that he hadn't fallen into depression.

He hasn't even thought of the consequences. He didn't want to think about it either.

"T-Thank you."

Joshua nodded, smiling slightly along with the brunette.

Josh noticed how adorable he was, his small nose, brown eyes, brown hair, and pink plump lips.

That didn't matter though, it wasn't a time for his gayness to shine through.

"So...what happens if they find us?"

Tyler took some time to think, biting his lip.

Joshua took note of how often he did it.

"I-I don't know...I mean, I really don't know what to do at all."

The blue haired boy nodded, knowing that he was going to have to take the situation into his own hands.

"Look, how about we talk about this tomorrow. My mom isn't gonna be here and it's a Friday, sounds good?"

The brunette nodded, immediately recognizing the connection between Friday and good.
He used to also have days off at the lab, on the weekend. It only meant he didn't have to do any tests.

"Y-Yea," the boy responded, his voice shy and vulnerable, as always.

"Ok, you can sleep on the mattress, I'll sleep on the couch."

Tyler turned to look at the bed, the basement looked like a second room.

"Y-You can sleep on the bed, I'm used to sleeping on small things anyways," the boy responded, making Josh's expression fall.

"What? No way dude, I sleep on a bed all the time, you need it more than I do."

A smile shy smile spread across the boys face, his eyes looking downwards.

"Go ahead, I'm just gonna go get some blankets."

The boy nodded as he began walking towards the bed.

It had plain white covers, and Tyler had to admit, he was dying to get some sleep.

By the time Joshua had collected the covers from the closet, the frail body was sound asleep,the fluffy covers hiding his whole body, except for the tuff of hair sticking out.

The blue haired boy smiled at the sight, before getting the couch and shutting the lights off, eventually falling asleep.

The last thing he heard were the small snores of the innocent looking boy.
