Delicate {Joshler Smut}

Five 🎨

Tyler took out the IV tube; placing a bandaid onto his hand. Josh was feeling better just a bit each hour of the day. He still needed to stay in bed. Around night time, Tyler gave Josh his pain meds. As he took them, Tyler sat by his side watching over him.

"I think you'll be better by tomorrow." He said. "Your wrists seem to be getting better."

"They are." Josh said; sitting up a bit. "I think you should let me out of bed now."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Tyler smiled. He pulled Josh up to standing position, though it was a struggle at first, Josh was able to get up on his own.

"Better?" Tyler asked.

"Yes Tyler." Josh replied; smiling.

"Would you like to look around?" Tyler asked; holding up his forearm.

Josh looked at Tyler for a second, then he smiled and chuckled; putting his hand into Tyler's arm.

Slowly but surely, Tyler helped Josh downstairs into the living room of his house. It was really nice. Though it wasn't huge, it was a perfect size house for a single man, except the house was mostly covered in canvas and paintings. That's pretty much what Josh wanted to see, mainly because that's what he saw Tyler as.

"You can probably tell I am an artist." Tyler said; sitting Josh down. "I've been painting ever since I was 15."

"How old are you now?" Josh asked.

"19." Tyler replied. "I'll be turning 20 in 5 months."

Josh smiled.

"I'm already 20. My birthday was last month."

Tyler smiled and chuckled. He hugged him.

"Well happy belated birthday Jish."

Josh realized that Tyler called him Jish. It seemed awkward to him at first but, he thought it was the cutest thing he had called him. He placed his hand over his fluffy brunette hair.

"Thank you Ty."

"I like you Josh. Why don't you live with me? I enjoy your company."

"It would be an honor." Josh replied. "If you need any help around the house, I am decent with cooking and cleaning."

"No need." Tyler said. "I shouldn't let my guest do all that."

"Really Tyler. I insist."

"Then let me help you." Tyler said; placing his hands on Josh's shoulders. "I can't let you do this alone."

Josh and Tyler looked to each other eye to eye.

"I don't want to go back on the streets again."

"I won't let you." Tyler replied. "You are going to stay with me forever. I promise I will protect you."

Tyler kissed Josh on the forehead. Josh felt like his heart was melting. It was melting for Tyler. He really cares about him, even though he's only been in his home for 2 days.
Josh started weeping. Tyler pulled him into a hug. He comforted him and rubbed his cheeks.

"It's alright darling." Tyler said. "You're gonna be alright."
