But I'm Petrified

Tyler pressed his pen against the paper, writing the last word. He rest the pen onto the desk, and held his head in his hands.

A noise made the boy jump. It wasn't a normal noise. It seemed to be from outside. He carefully swung his legs over the edge of the stool, and pushed himself up.

Creeping towards the window, Tyler remembered the paper. He turned round, making no noise, and picked it up. The noise was repeated again outside, a low beat, just one drum beat. But Tyler knew instantly who it was.

He smiled inwardly, as he unlatched the window and got ready to whisper to the person outside.

Just as he looked up, a pair of warm lips met his, and immediately Tyler melted in Josh's embrace.

Once they both broke away, gently, Tyler smiled and nussled into Josh's neck, leaning further out the window.

'How did you get up here?' Tyler whispered, kissing Josh's neck. Josh smirked, lifting his head and pointing to a ladder that was placed firmly onto the wall.

Tyler laughed softly, and kissed Josh again, wrapping his hands through the older boys hair. He momentarily forgot about the piece of paper, but a draft of wind pushed it towards Josh's hands.

He broke away, and glanced at the paper, confused. Tyler took it between his two hands, and tore it in half, and continued to tear it until it was in small pieces.

He let go, and they flew into the night sky, heading towards the woods.

He looked up at Josh, who was staring at the papers, deep in thought.

'What?' Tyler mumbled, kissing his boyfriend's cheek.

'Nothing,' Josh replied, but he didn't seem to be paying attention. 'It's just, well, I saw what u put on that. Is everyt-'

He was interrupted by Tyler moving closer and placing his lips on his.

'Don't worry about that' Tyler whispered into Josh's mouth. 'Everything's fine!' He lied

Josh decided to leave this issue for now, not wanting to make Tyler upset, so he let the younger boy pull him through the window.

They landed quietly on the bed, and Tyler wrapped the cover round them, snuggling up to Josh. Josh smiled sweetly, and wrapped the boy in his arms, as they fell into sleep.

When Josh woke up, he was lost in a sort of trance as he watched, with love in his eyes, Tyler sleeping.

He carefully wriggled his arm under Tyler and pressed his forehead against his. As he closed his eyes, he remembered the piece of paper again. Josh remembered how his heart fell as he read it. He remembered how scared and worried he felt about Tyler.

Josh felt the smooth paper rub against his wrist, and he glanced down.
'Dear Josh,' he read
'I love you, but this world doesn't love me. I'm sorry. But I'm petrified.'

Josh felt the familiar feeling of sickly worry rise up his stomach, and he sat up, willing himself to forget. This movement caused the sleeping boy to wake up and rub his eyes.

'What's wrong, Josh?'
'The paper...' Josh whispered, his throat dry.
Tyler sat up,

'I told you, I'm fine.'
'But you're petrified...'
'But I'm fine...' Tyler ended his sentence by kissing Josh, wrapping his arms round his neck and leaning down on the bed. Josh kissed back, and their tongues battled for dominance, with Josh winning. Josh lovingly pushed Tyler down onto the bed and crept on top of him. He broke their kiss for a moment as he pulled off Tyler's plain black top.

Tyler arched his back as Josh left a trail of kisses on his tanned stomach, and moaned quietly.

They awoke later, tangled together, warm and achy. Their clothes were on the floor, and sunlight was bursting through the window.
