tyler's skin was prickled with warm droplets or salty sweat as he made it his goal to clean up the whole apartment. he hated messes, he hated feeling like everything around him was cluttered and it made his skin crawl with the want to go purely insane.
he hummed along to the radio as he straightened up the paintings that weren't evenly lined up, carefully stepping back every now and then to make sure he wasn't making worse.
he let out a sigh in relief as he deemed himself finished. the whole entire apartment was clean including joshua's room, which tyler hated doing. he hated having to pick up used condom wrappers, or empty boxes of lube and other people's clothing, but he couldn't clean everything and not his room.
"tyler?" josh called as he stepped through the threshold of the front door, walking down the small hallway to see the brunet gazing at the wall. "you okay baby peach?" he asked, giving tyler a small hug before entering his room to set down his stuff.
"yeah, i'm fine... i need to take a shower though, i'm all dirty and gross from cleaning." tyler pouted before looking down at himself in disgust. he could smell and fell the sweat sticking to him.
josh stuck his head out to look at the smaller boy with a smile. "thank you for cleaning up even in here, i know it's a mess! usually it's not this messy, but just thank you." he said sincerely.
the brunet giggled and nodded his head. "you're welcome joshie." he smiled.

"i don't understand why you live with somebody like that." melanie said as they walked around the outlet shopping center, a strawberry mango smoothie in her hand as she drank from it.
tyler shrugged his shoulders, he didn't really know how he did too but he told himself it would get better and things may work out eventually. "well, everyday i hope things will get better... plus i can't really be mad at josh because it's not like he knows i'm undeniably in love with him."
and tyler sighs a sad sigh while melanie gets lost in thought, them both just walking to nowhere as they're staring at what seems like nothing.
"if you ever need anything tyler... if you ever want a break from josh, just call me and i'll come get you. maybe we can rent out some beach house and stay there for a week as a small vacation." the older girl said as she took another sip of her drink, locking their arms together as they both simultaneously let out a breath of air.
both of them being in similar situations, just with slightly different altercations.
