Josh (present)
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

I hear beeping when I wake up. It goes in a steady rhythm, every other second. I dont see anything though, it looks pitch black.

Silly me, I just have my eyes closed.

My eyes flutter open, and when they do, I see myself on a hospital bed. I try to sit up slightly, but that just results in me screaming in pain from my wound.

A doctor rushes inside the room and Gives me a questioning, panicky look.
I give out a few whimpers to let him know that I don't feel okay. He gets the message and strides over to where I lay.

"So, Mr. Dun?" He reads off of a list, presumably reading over information about me.

"Yes, call me Joshua, please." My voice sounds so small. It burns with every word I spit out, it's so sore.

"Can you tell us what exactly happend? We've managed to get a few details from Mrs. Joseph, but we can not rely on her in her mental state." He says each word smoothly, as if it's a script from a play that he's been in a million times.

I wish this was some made up play and not some fucked up reality. My fucked up reality............

I take in a deep sigh, this going to be a while.

"Then I saw Tyler come into the door, that's all I remember, nothing more, nothing less." I finish off.

Over the past hour of me telling the doctor what happened, different people came in and recorded me talking. Wether it be a doctor or a detective, they recorded my every word, and I gave them the whole truth, at least, what happened in my perspective.

"Well Joshua, it seems like you've been through hell. You should get some rest, you look horrible." The nurse, Debby I think is her name, says with a small smile.

I'm about to agree when I remember something.

"Wait! I-um, c-can I see my bo-boyfriend?" I ask shyly. I don't even know if he's here...........

Debby gives me a confusing look. She chuckles nervously and looks at anything but me.

"Um-er-what do y-you mean?"

I give her a concerned look. "I mean, can I see my boyfriend, Tyler, if he's here?"

She stares at me for a few seconds, then sighs in annoyance. "Right, of course. I'll tell a doctor that you wish to see Tyler."

"Thanks."

She mumbles 'don't mention it' then walks out of the room.

Tyler

I walk into the room. Josh layed there on the hospital bed, he had a bandage around his shoulder and torso, presumably where she stabbed him. I shiver at the memory.

His face is still his face, even if it is all bruised and cut. He still has those beautiful brown eyes I could melt in if I looked long enough. He still wears the same smile he always wears when he's around me.

"Tyler, baby." He says and motions for me to come over to him.

I blush at the new nickname and walk over with a small smile and a tint of pink in my cheeks.

When I'm by his side, he wraps his arms around my waist. I cuddle him back, careful of his wounded shoulder, and kiss his forehead.

He sighs tiredly. "Tyler, I wish I could spend more time with you, but I need to sleep." He give an apologetic smile.

I pout. "No fair, I never get any fun."

He chuckles darkly. "As soon as I'm healed, trust me, you'll get more fun than you can handle~"

My eyes go wide and I start to studder over my words. "I-uh i-i don't un-understand-uh i-i-" I'm suddenly cut off by josh's laughter filling the room.

"Oh god that was hilarious!" He says while wiping away tears.

I pout again and attempt to stomp to the door. Like I said, attempt. He grabs my hand before I could even touch the ground.

He brings his head into the crook of my neck. "Tylerrrrrr! I was kidding! I love you, please don't leave."

As soon as he said that, I freeze. He looks at me with a questioning gaze, then realizes what he said. He freezes too, then looks at me.

I look up at him. "You love me?" I ask. I told him that I've loved him before, but he wasn't conscious, so I don't think that counts as our first time saying, I love you.

He smiles. "Of course I love you Tyler. I've always loved you, your my everything, and well, let's be real, your fucking perfect in every way possible."

I tear up, I can't help it. This beautiful man loves me. ME! I throw my arms around his stomach and cuddle his chest.

"I love you too, Josh."
