15/16

The new day began with an innocent silhouette of an angelic being twisting and turning as small whimpers passed his lips.

The clock on the dresser reads:

2 : 4 6

The sky was still dark with night as Joshua opened his eyes sleepily and looked down to his distressed love.

His eyebrows were wrinkled in pain as his complexion seemed too pale for his usual golden tone.

His freckled nose twitched like that of a rabbit as he subconsciously moved closer to Joshua and curled into a ball; fisting the sheets as he nuzzled into the boy's chest.

Tears began to seep out of his unopened eyes as his chest rose and fell with sobs that broke the silence, and Joshua's heart was bleeding streams of agony.

His body reacted before he could second guess himself, his arms opened as he pulled the boy into his lap.

"Honey- Bee, it's okay. Shh, it's okay beautiful. I got you. You're safe, baby."

Tyler's eyes slowly opened as he hugged Josh tighter and enjoyed the skin on skin contact as he held his boyfriend as tight as he possibly could.

The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and safe as they just embraced each other.

Joshua never pushed Tyler to speak, and Tyler was grateful because he couldn't find the words to say.

Hours passed as they sat in the middle of the strewn sheets on Joshua's bed as the pale moonlight poured into the window and slowly faded as hours passed.

Joshua's fingers were pressed against Tyler's skull as he slowly scratched the surface with the tips of his fingers in the gentlest of ways.

"Joshie."

Tyler's small voice broke through the silence as he sniffled and looked up to his boyfriend with the widest, most innocent eyes the world has to offer.

The elder's heart fluttered within his chest at the sound, even at his lowest points Tyler was strong and beautiful.

The youngest boy never failed to amaze Joshua with just how strong and willing he was.

"Yes, honey?"

There was a momentary pause and Joshua could practically see Tyler's mind working as it formulated words to describe whatever it is he wishes to say.

Is it possible for one person to be this beautiful?

.... so sacred.

"The voices, the name calling, the pointing fingers that make me feel at gunpoint, and the punches...... they're all too much, Josh.

Tyler's eyes started to water up again as he looked up to Josh briefly before laying his head upon Joshua's shoulder and hiding in the crook of his neck.

"I'm not strong enough for this, Josh."

Joshua's heart broke as red flowed throughout his body.

His blood boiled.
His vision blurred with rage.
Warmth from Tyler's bare chest pressed against his.
Love and adoration for his little love.

Red, red, red.

Everything was red in that moment.

"You are strong enough, Tyler. You're so, so, so strong. If you ever feel like you're not enough, even though you are, just remember you have me too. You'll always have me. I'm always going to stand behind you. I love you."

Tyler smiled the slightest as he pulled away from the crook of Joshua's neck and pressed a small kiss to the corner of the elder's lips.

"Thank you, Joshua. I love you too."

Josh smiled as he laid down and pulled Tyler onto his chest as the morning sun peeked into the window and gave Tyler's features a heavenly, warm glow.

"Go back to sleep, baby. I'm right here."

Tyler didn't need to be told twice as his heavy eyelids closed and long eyelashes fanned across his freckled cheeks.

His mouth parted to press a quick kiss to Josh's chest as he relaxed and let the exhaustion of crying and sleep deprivation overcome him.

Joshua's arms wrapped around the younger's waist as he closed his eyes and smiled.
