-x-

Josh blinked at his reflection in the mirror, the buzzing of the razor behind him startled him back from his thoughts and he turned to look at Tyler's blank expression.

Josh let his eyes focus on the electric razor in his boyfriend's hand, his mind racing a mile a minute. Tyler watched him, keeping still as though cornering a wounded animal and any sudden move would spook him.

"Josh," Tyler said cautiously, clicking the razor off and causing Josh to flinch and look at him. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Josh couldn't speak he simply nodded and turned around, moving to sit on the closed toilet lid. Tyler fixed him with a concerned look again before turning the razor back on and heading over to him.

Just before he could put the razor to Josh's head, he hesitated.

"Do it." Josh rasped out, taking a shaky breath. Tyler looking at him but Josh refused to look up, instead he gently wrapped his hand around Tyler's wrist and guided it to his hair. Tyler didn't shake him off but he did take control and shaved a stripe across the top of Josh's head.

Josh took a deep breath as he felt the frazzled, dye ruined curls fall off his head and drop onto the floor around him. When most of the top was shaved, Tyler gestured for Josh to stand up so he could do the back and sides easier. As Josh stared at his reflection a small tear fell from down his cheek but he felt relieved. Like he was shedding emotional baggage through every dead curl.

When his head was fully shaved, he took a breath and relaxed his shoulders. Before he could even react fully he realised the shaver hadn't turned off yet. Confused he turned in time to see Tyler run the razor through his own thick tufts of hair.

Tyler chuckled when he saw the look of awe of Josh's face.

"What, you didn't think I'd let you do it alone did you?" He teased, quickly working on his own hair quickly. Josh spent the time running his hands over his fuzzy head, relishing the giddy excitement that begun filling up the pit of his stomach.

He was grinning ear to ear when Tyler finally finished. Tyler looked up once he'd put the razor down and broke out into a smile as their eyes met.

Tyler put a hand on the back of Josh's neck, rubbing the fuzzy hair there in tiny circles. Josh shivered at the sensation biting back his grin.

Josh reached out, clasping Tyler's head between his hands and pulling his head close until their lips crashed together in a hard kiss.

"Ya know they say you should shower after a haircut." Tyler said against Josh's lips, between rough desperate kisses.

"Yeah?" Josh asked pulling back a little but Tyler instantly chased his lips. Josh decided that he'd take time to get used to not being able to pull on Tyler's hair anymore, he made a disgruntled sound but Tyler didn't pay attention instead he breathed out a response to Josh's question.

"Yeah. You wanna?" He asked, both breathing heavy.

Josh matched Tyler's smirk, instantly pulling Tyler's shirt off him. "Why do you think I locked the door?" He said arching a brow and Tyler shook his head with a laugh.

Tyler instantly grabbed for Josh's shirt and pulled it up and off. The shirt was barely over Josh's head before their lips where reattaching. Tyler's tongue swiping across Josh's lower lip. The pair stumbled back, Josh's nails ran across Tyler's hips as he pulled him closer, until Josh's back hit the shower wall. The two laughed as their fingers fumbled on jeans as they tried to strip each other too fast. Interrupting their hot kisses to laugh or help the other out.

When they were finally stripped down Josh reached a hand out to try and find the faucet but couldn't reach. With a laugh and slower pecks to Josh's lips Tyler reached out and turned the shower on.

Both boys jumped as cold water hit them. Laughing giddily, they took a second to catch their breaths, while they waited for the water to heat up. As soon as it was warm enough Josh pulled Tyler's wrists as he stepped back into the stream. Tyler followed until they were almost chest to chest, water barely touched him as Josh blocked most of it but he didn't mind.

Their noses brushed together softly and Josh sighed with content, studying Tyler through hooded eyes.

"You're so beautiful." Josh breathed out and Tyler looked down, blushing. He shook his head and reached for a bottle of shampoo, pouring some out and began massaging it over Josh's scalp. "What? You don't believe me." Josh said, moving his head so that Tyler would look at him. Tyler fixed him with a pointed look and pushed his head back into the stream.

"I think you're full of it." Tyler replied, voice like velvet and Josh shivered, most likely due to the soapy water now cascading down his spine.

Josh was quick to move Tyler around, pushing him up against the wall so the water could reach him. He guided Tyler's shampoo covered hands to his own head seeing as there was enough left on them for his equally bald head.

Instead Josh kissed along Tyler's jaw. He waited for Tyler to rinse off before he began kissing him again. This time with more purpose.

"What are you doing?" Tyler hummed teasingly.

"Making sure you know I'm telling the truth." Josh replied, nipping at his skin. Before Tyler could say anything, Josh dropped to his knees, ghosting kisses across Tyler's hip before moving lower and swallowing him whole.

He took Tyler apart until Tyler was gasping, pressing himself into the wall just to stay upright. Tyler thought he would pass out as he came hard and he slid down the wall until he was level with Josh.

Tyler tried as hard as he could to get his breath back, looking at Josh with pure awe.

"Y-you're way too good at that." He tried to be playful but he was too out of breath.

Josh grinned and pushed in to kiss him. Tyler ignored the taste on Josh's tongue in favour of pulling Josh ever closer. He took Josh's own length into his hand and brought him to the edge.

Josh moaned against Tyler's mouth, pushing their foreheads together as his breathing grew more laboured. He cried out but muffled it into Tyler's shoulder as he climaxed.

"I love you." Josh squeaked, unable to speak.

"I love you too." Tyler chuckled softly kissing Josh slow and sweet savouring it.

After a minute or two to recover they got up, washing down their bodies before stepping out. Tyler shook off his clothes to remove any hairs and quickly towelled himself down and re-dressed. Josh used a dustpan and brush and collected any hair on the floor and put it into the trash while he did so. Then he went into his bedroom to change.

Tyler caught him staring at himself in the mirror, folding his arms and leaning into the doorframe.

"That's gonna take some getting used to." He said and Josh flinched away from the mirror in embarrassment at being caught.

"It feels weird. But I needed this." Josh said as he reached for one of his caps and put it on.

Tyler walked over to him and gently pulled the cap off again. "Don't hide it. People deserve to see your face."

Josh rolled his eyes playfully and slung his arms around Tyler's shoulders. "Now who's full of it?"

Tyler pretended to think the question over for a second before responding. "Still you."

"Shut up." Josh replied playfully before kissing him again. When they pulled away Josh hugged Tyler closer.

They stayed like that for a long time before Tyler spoke up.

"It's gonna be okay Josh."

"Promise?" Josh asked quietly.

"Promise." Tyler said, kissing Josh's temple and pulling him closer again, burying his nose into Josh's shoulder. And for the moment, Josh believed he was right, maybe life would be okay again eventually. Maybe even soon. One thing he knew for sure though, was that Tyler would always be there, and that's all that mattered.
