"tyler,  come on buddy. your okay, you got this. "
josh places his arm around tyler's back to help him up the stairs to his bed room, his eyes dilated and his head droopy.
josh softens for the boy, his light blue sweater reaching only his waist where his white lace panties sit.
he thought it was just a preference.
he never saw tyler unless he was high off his mind, or just walking around.
tyler never spoke a word to josh unless he was asking for water on these types of nights.
but josh can hear everything. he can hear the boy leaving the house at 3am to walk to the nearby bridge, he can hear the boy counting as he slices his skin, he can hear the boy rummaging through his closet to find something to cover himself with because he was so insecure about his body.
he didn't know why
tyler, was little.
very little.
but his thoughts ran wild, fast then he ever could run.
he thought to much, so he found a way to stop thinking for a few hours.
he didn't speak to josh, he was to scared to. he was afraid he was gonna get mad at him like every one else did.
all he really wanted was someone to love him.
and damn, he really loved joshua.
but joshua was clueless.
