Twenty




Tyler admired him as he slept. He looked so peaceful. His jaw wasn't clenched like it always was; it was relaxed. He didn't have a hard and charmed face when he slept. No, when he slept, his face was soft. He was still beautiful, just more relaxed.

They were talking to each other all night until they both eventually fell asleep. Tyler woke up first while Josh still slept.

He needed the sleep.

Josh hadn't been sleeping lately. He didn't tell Tyler, but he could tell that he was. There were bags under his eyes where there hadn't been before, and sometimes it seemed that he fell asleep during their time together.

Josh mumbled something then, but Tyler just thought of it as nonsense in a dream... He could've swore he heard Josh say, "I hate my life."

It was probably just a nightmare.

Until he remembered how Josh made him promise that he'd love him no matter what and his sudden outburst, and that made him realize that maybe it wasn't just a nightmare.

But then again, Tyler couldn't hear exactly what Josh said.

It was just a nightmare to him.

It wasn't to Josh.
