Josh was shocked when he felt the boy's warm body touch his chest. He couldn't help but wrap his arms around him.

"Are you alright boy?" He asked.

"I-I don't know."

The boy was shaking. Josh felt it himself.

"Why are you so scared?"

"Pl-please sir." The boy said. "I-I don't want you to, be offended."

"Not at all." Josh replied. "It's okay if you're afraid."

The boy broke away.

"No. It's not." He said. "It ain't normal for me. I'm used to being around other people but, something changed. I stopped being who I used to be."

"Is that why you've been here?" Josh asked.

"Pretty much."

Josh felt sad for the boy.

"I want to help you." He offered.

"You don't." The boy said. "I'd just be trouble for you."

Josh chuckled.

"You wouldn't."

The boy turned away for a second; making Josh eager to hear an answer. Eventually, he turned back.

"If you want to help me, then come find me tomorrow or the next time you plan to visit the gardens."

Josh smiled.

"I will."

The boy turned to walk away.

"Boy, wait." Josh called.

This made the boy turn back.

"I haven't gotten your name."

The boy smiled.

"Tyler." He said. "Tyler Joseph."

Josh smiled; curtsying.

"It's great to meet you Tyler. I'm Josh Dun."

Tyler smiled.

"It's great to meet you too. And I hope you come see me again."

"I will."

Tyler turned and walked away. While Josh watched him disappear back into the gardens.
