Standing on the world outside, caught up in a love landslide.

Honey colored eyes started to water, tears threatening to fall from his gorgeous eyes. Josh couldn't hold his feelings back as he let out a wrecked sob, falling onto the floor with a quiet thud. Tyler rushed to Josh, immediately at his side. The lady simply let out a maniacal laugh at the two before exiting the room, slamming the door shut behind her to leave both boys to their own ways.

"Josh? Josh, shh."

Soft, calloused fingers unsurely wrapped themselves underneath Josh's gown; rubbing the small of his back soothingly. Josh brought his hands to his mouth, fingers spread apart and his face contorted in horror.

"I-I didn't-"

Another sob racked throughout his body, his body jolting forward slightly as he hiccuped after. He removed his hands from his mouth, allowing them to reach Tyler and grip at his arm desperately. Tyler pulled Josh into his arms and allowed the boy to go limp, curled into Tyler's chest as his soft cries slowed down. Tyler held him for about ten minutes before Josh had calmed down and fallen asleep in Tyler's gentle arms.

The sheets ruffled, body gliding against the comforter effortlessly. He groaned and rolled over once again, just to look over at Josh who was still asleep. He had been asleep for two hours now and it was getting kind of late, meaning Dr. Dun had sent everyone to their rooms to get some shut-eye.

Tyler wasn't getting any.

If anything, all he was getting was the wonderful sound of the bed squeaking obnoxiously loud and the soft snores of Josh. At least he found Josh's snores cute, otherwise that'd be an issue for them both.

Finally he stood up from his spot on the bed, tossing the comforter to the side anxiously as he ruffled his hair tiredly. He didn't wish to sleep, instead, he wished to find out more about what or who this 'blurryface' was. He stood up and grabbed a sheet of paper from one of Josh's notebook- which he wasn't sorry about- and snatched up a sharp pencil before mindlessly scribbling on the page.

After a few moments he looked down to see what he had created. He had drawn the blurryface character and wrote 'My names blurryface, and I care what you think.' in large letters. Somewhat satisfied with his artwork, he tossed the page underneath his bed and started to pad back to his bed.

As he started to climb back into his bed, Josh groaned and sat up tiredly.

"Tyler?"

A soft hum resonated out of the room, answering Josh's question to if it was Tyler or not. Josh softly patted the empty spot next to him and to his surprise, Tyler complied, padding his way to Josh's bed and curling up next to him. He opened a welcoming arm to Tyler, allowing him to crawl into his arms and lay his head on the blue-haired boy's chest. He could hear Josh's heart thump quickly in his chest but didn't think anything of it.

But it surely meant something to Josh, to hold Tyler in his arms as he finally fell into a deep slumber with Josh. Feeling Tyler relax in his arms was the best thing he had felt in a while. All seemed well in the moment, making Josh smile. Tyler's breathing was slowed down and even, allowing him to know Tyler was asleep. He quickly kissed Tyler's forehead and wrapped his arms around him tightly.

He never wanted this high of happiness to end. But soon enough, everything good comes to an end.
