Tyler walked into class and grinned when Josh sat down next to him. Josh returned a small smile.

"Hey Josh."

"Hey Ty. So d-did you finish your sketches?"

Tyler shifted uncomfortably.

"Yeah.. but they aren't that good so don't laugh."

Josh chuckled and looked through Tyler's sketchbook.

"Tyler.. these are awesome."

Tyler blushed and picked at his nails.

"Thanks."

Josh flipped back to a page with a drawing of a hand holding a cracked skull that was leaking out colors (like the self titled album) and pointed to it.

"I really like this one. Your s-style is so unique."

Tyler blushed again.

"Thanks."

Tyler looked at Josh's sketchbook.

"Can I.."

"Y-yeah go ahead."

Tyler's jaw dropped as he flipped through the pages of the notebook.

"Josh."

"Huh?"

"These are sick."

Josh chuckled.

"Sick?"

"Yes. As in, so good, I feel like throwing up."

Tyler smiled when he saw Josh grin.

"T-thanks, Ty. So, which one do you like best?"

"Oh! Oh geez, I don't know."

"Well, which one speaks to you?"

Tyler scrunched up his face in concentration, squinting hard at each picture.

He flipped to a page that contained an extremely detailed rabbit with bleeding eyes and a forest as the background and hummed.

"I like this one."

Josh smiled at how excited Tyler was.

"Me too."
