    "Where are we going?" Simon asked, letting Josh drag him around.
    "You'll see." Josh replied before stepping into a nice, cozy coffee shop.
    After ordering two hot chocolates, Josh started leading Simon somewhere else.
    Sitting on a hill on the outskirts of town, Josh watched the blond that was next to him, both slowly and tentatively sipping their hot chocolate.
    "Can I ask you a question?" The dark haired boy asked, still watching his companion.
    "I guess." The boy replied, glancing quickly at Josh before looking back at the sky.
    "Why? Why would you do it?"
    "I started to listen to the nightmares. They were right. I'm a waste of space that no one needs. I don't affect anyone's life."
    Josh's eyes widened and he quickly opened his mouth. "That's not true!" He quickly announced. "You've affected mine! I'm.... I'm not supposed to tell you this, but Nightmares are supposed to be immune to sympathy. We aren't affected by the feelings of others. But there's just something about you that makes me care. I'm different to all the other Nightmares because of you. I can love and feel because of you. I care about you. I care a lot. More than I probably should."
    Simon looked at Josh, tears threatening to fall. "R-Really?"
    Josh nodded and pulled Simon into a big hug. "I will do everything in my power to help you. I promise."

A/N- I just realized how cheesy this is... now I can't stop laughing.
