{wowza I'm p sure I died for a hot second there. How nice}

    Joshua almost whimpered as he walked up to his house, he could hear his father throw a beer bottle, earning a sharp scream from his mother. Looks like with josh gone, he had to take his anger somewhere else.

He went over to the window well of his basement bedroom, climbing down the rusty ladder, brushing off bugs as he went into his room, breathing the not-so-missed dank air. He quickly grabbed a bag, starting to pack things into it. His thoughts were rummaging in his head. How life could be with Tyler.. if they could successfully make some sort of home. He knew the land was un-owned, and no one really knew about it. No one ever went there. It was the perfect spot.. but their dreams were somewhat un-realistic.

Josh waited until the house was quiet and still, walking upstairs, and out to the backyard. He bit his lip, looking at all of the wood and insulation. He knew he could do this if he tried.

Josh picked up some wood, placing it in the wheel burrow they had out back, but never really used. He wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

After a few trips, he was looking at a large, /large/ pile of wood in front of him , Tyler right on his side.

Josh kissed the boy gently, pulling him close by the waist.
"I love you, Joshua.." the smaller boy mumbled, looking up at him.
"And I, you, Tyler" he responded, kissing his forehead.
"I don't know how this is going to happen... but I'm going to take everything I have and make it work. I swear to you. " josh promised, both to himself and Tyler.
"But not until morning" he added, laughing slightly.
Tyler bit his lip nervously, watching josh.
"J-Joshua..? Are.. are you a virgin?" He asked shyly.
"Tyler why do you ask..?" Josh looked down, his eyebrows furrowed.
"Well.. I.. I am.. and I've been thinking-" he paused.
"I want you, josh.. I want you to be my first, I want to make a home with you.. live my life with you. " he stated, his eyes filling with water.
"Tyler do you know what you're saying? I'm not a stable person. I get.. I get so sad sometimes.. and I could end up like my father.. you don't want that.." josh said softly.
"No you wont!" Tyler retaliated. "You are your own person. You are kind, and loving, and gentle.. willing to do anything for those you love.. " Tyler frowned.
"Tyler.. m' not sure.. do you seriously want that..? You have your entire life ahead of you. " "of course I want that. I love you with everything I have. "
