Chapter Nine

Just enough, for you to save me.

•

Questions left unanswered, Tyler sat on his bed with tears in his eyes. Body curled into a ball, tears rushing down his cheeks as he let a sob rack throughout his body. He couldn't help his muffle cries as Josh entered the room, immediately his attention going to the sobbing Tyler.

"He won-t leave me al-one."

He hiccuped. Josh moved quickly, sitting down next to Tyler and opening his arms for the poor boy. He had been through so much in such a short time.

Arms wrapped around Tyler's frail body, making him sob harder. He felt like he didn't deserve it; which he did.

"Who?"

Josh's voice was soft and smooth like honey, sending goosebumps to rise upon his pale skin. Tyler's voice was soft and quiet, almost unheard by the blue-haired boy beside him.

"Blurryface."

A deep growl rose from Josh's throat as he thought about Tyler's demon taunting him. The thought just set him off.

Tyler closed his eyes tightly to stop his tears, grabbing onto Josh's bicep tightly as he whimpered- and Josh did the only thing he knew how to do.

Firm, yet gentle hands grabbed at the boy's jaw, craning his neck to look at Josh. Tyler stared innocently into Josh's eyes before Josh weakly connected their lips, the kiss being absolutely euphoric for the two.

Pulling away gently, Josh stared lovingly into Tyler's light brown eyes. A smile was plastered on the boy's lips, making Josh smile with him.

Josh quickly wiped away Tyler's astray tears with his free hand.

"Are you okay now, lovely?"

Tyler slowly nodded, as if he was unsure. Josh quickly took notice.

"Are you absolutely sure? Tyler, you don't have to lie to me."

Voice caught in his throat, he slowly nodded again and grabbed Josh's hand gently.

"M' fine."

Still not convinced, Josh didn't press Tyler any further and instead laid down with him. Tyler of course, curled into Josh's touch and was cuddled into his side, head on his chest. He could hear his heartbeat, and he loved it.

"Can we get to know each other?"

The question was quite random, however Tyler quickly agreed.

They spent a long time asking each other random questions; what's your favorite color; favorite singer; etcetera.

"I've always wanted to be a singer."

Tyler quietly admitted. Josh smiled at this, kissing the top of Tyler's head gently.

"I'm sure you have a pretty voice, darling."

It was Tyler's turn to smile, just the thought of him completing his dreams making him giddy. Tyler started to hum quietly against Josh's chest.

Josh moved his arm to the small of Tyler's back and drew in random patterns, making Tyler giggle against him.

"Stopppp,"

Ignoring his crush's wishes, he started to purposefully tickle Tyler; the boy screaming in agony and rolling away from Josh.

"How dare you! I trusted you!"

He shouted jokingly as Josh crawled atop him, straddling him in some way.

"You love me."

He leaned down to Tyler's face, connecting their lips messily. Tyler laughed against Josh's lips as he tickled his sides.

"Dammit Josh."

Tyler giggled out, against Josh's lips. Their hearts were fluttering in their chests, just pounding quickly as they gave each other soft touches and kisses.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
