ELECTRIC

A KNOCKING sounded through out the apartment, bringing the blue-haired boy out of his thoughts. he got up, walking over to the door.

josh opened the door, introducing a boy in a faux fur jacket, and gold short-shorts that were barely shorts, holding tennis shoes in his hands. "can i come in? it's urgent, please." the smaller boy squeaked, looking around him. "why... i don't even know you." josh replied, leaning up against the door frame. "please just let me in, i'll explain it inside." the boy croaked. josh thought for a moment. then he rolled his eyes, shuffling around so the unnamed boy could get through the door. "aight, whats your name and why did you need to come here so badly." josh spoke, seeing the boy better now that they were in proper lighting.

the boy seemed to have makeup on, but it was all smudged and everywhere, including the red lipstick, which was half off his lips. not to mention his eyes were blackened, indicating he must've had eyeliner on, or something like that.

"well, i'm tyler, nice to meet ya." tyler said, extending his hand out to josh. showing off his glossy black painted nails. "i'm josh... so why're you here?" josh asked again, leaning up against the kitchen table. "well josh, it's quite a story..."

tyler told josh all about it, in all what happened, a club tyler was working at got attacked by some 'big scary men', (as tyler explained) he and two other girls ran out of the club, one called 'mel' and another called alex. they got chased a few blocks and lost eachother, and tyler's phone died so he couldn't call them.

"so why'd you come into my apartment then?" josh asked, looking over at tyler.

"well, you see it's sorta 1am, and i could see ya through the windows, you looked nice." tyler smiled, resting his hands in his lap. "oh, okay then." josh said, directing his gaze away from the other boy. "hey, uh, josh was it? mind if i stay the night?" tyler asked, looking up at the blue-haired boy. "yeah, it's no worries, you can sleep on the couch if you want." he said smiling. the brunette smiled back, standing up and looking around. "uh do you got a bathroom?" he giggled, almost in a way that would completely decease josh. "yeah, just down the hall." the boy smiled, as tyler walked down the hall, turning into the bathroom.

tyler walked into the bathroom, glancing at himself in the mirror. "ugh." he spat, touching underneath his eyes at the black smudged makeup, he quickly searched the drawers of the bathroom, desperate to find some wipes.

nothing, of course. tyler sighed, grabbing a hand towel and running it under the tap.

after making the towel desirably wet, tyler rubbed it around his eyes, getting rid of the blacked eyeshadow and glitter. he then wiped his lips clean, however there was still a slight tint to them. he then picked up a grey sweatshirt that didn't smell too bad and pulled it over his head.

he then stepped out of the bathroom. seeing josh, shirtless, and rolling a blunt.

"oh shi- ah, i don't have to do this, sorry, i'll just-" josh stuttered, trying to brush away the drug. "josh, it's fine." tyler giggled, leaning up against the wall.

"if you say so." josh shrugged, using his saliva to slather up the rolling paper, rolling it up.

josh stuck the blunt in his mouth, before grabbing a clear lighter, flicking it at the end of the blunt. then coughing as he inhaled the smoke that came into his lungs.

"well, aren't you going to offer me some?" tyler asked, sitting down on the couch next to the boy. "sorry. didn't think you wanted any." josh chuckled, passing the blunt over to tyler, the boy taking it in between his thumb and index finger. "josh- please, i'm a whore working at a gay strip club for christ sake." he chuckled, inhaling the smoke, blowing out a cloud and resting back into the couch, passing the blunt to josh.

the night went on, the two boys passing the rolled drug between each other, tyler feeling loopy and josh feeling well- he didn't really know. "so, you work at a strip club?" josh asked, staring over to the feminine boy. "correction- a gay strip club." tyler retaliated, holding up an index finger. "and yes, that is correct." tyler smiled. josh just chuckled for a while. "why a gay strip club?" josh asked, his face flushed- probably from the marijuana. "gee, i don't know. probably cause i'm... gay?" tyler giggled, resting his hand on his knee. "oh, okay." josh replied, sucking the last form of life out of the blunt, then cursing, then leaning over to crush it in the ashtray. tyler watched him with glassy eyes and a permanent smile on his face, then remembering. "shit! i gotta check if mel and alex are okay! fuck- shit." tyler panicked, trying to find his phone. "baby, it's okay, you can call them in the morning." josh hushed, placing a hand on tyler's arm. tyler giggled slightly at this. "di-did you just call me 'baby'?" tyler snorted, locking eye contact with josh. "oh, yeah sorry." josh apologised, it was probably just the weed talking- not him. "it's fine, josh." tyler yawned.
"what time is it anyway?" the brunette asked, looking down at the ground. josh leaned over, grabbing his phone. "3:27am." he answered, leaning back into the couch. "i should... probably get to bed, mind if i use your charger?" tyler hummed, looking back over to josh. "yeah, go ahead." josh chuckled, pointing over- very vaguely - to a phone charger. "thank you." tyler said, getting up and plugging his phone in, not knowing what to do, so he just walked into josh's room to sleep- josh didn't seem to be complaining though.

tyler crept over to the bed, basically collapsing into the sheets- they smelt odd, like smoke, sex and mint. not that he really bothered to notice, as he fell asleep almost instantly, the blood pumping through his veins feeling almost

electric.
