Tyler's Angel-Book One-A Joshler Fanfic

Josh's POV

   I woke up that morning,to Tyler shifting in bed,I had been sleeping on and off all night long,waking with every small movement and sound that he made,checking on him constantly.
   I wrapped my arms around his waist  and fell asleep again not realizing what I was doing due to the lack of sleep.

   I woke up to Tyler's screams, he kept repeating the words over and over.
   "NO NOT JOSH,NOT JOSH...NO!!"
   He jolted awake inhaling sharply and running his slender fingers through his hair.
   "TYLER,IMRIGHTHEREITSOKAY!"
   I said as he turned over to face me with a constant flow of tears streaming down his soft pink cheeks. I was loud,but i wasn't screaming, and I wasn't anywhere near the volume Tyler bad been at.
   The smaller boy buried his face into my shirt and cried quietly. I desperately wished I could do something,or say the right words to make everything alright again...but I knew better. So we layed there,as I held him protectively in my arms.

Tyler's POV

   I loved being nestled up to Josh,I felt orange-pink-blue...which I think normal people call 'safe'...and I was warm in his strong arms. I gripped his shirt tightly, and I could smell what seemed to be honey and a vague trace of the autumn leaves from the forest. I loved the way he smelled.
   I told myself I had to let him go,and separate the both of us...remove myself from his touch,but I couldn't. Everything about him captivated me. The way he ran his fingers through his hair when he was scared or worried,the way his eyes wrinkled when he truly smiled,the shape of his silhouette in the glowing moonlight.
   "Jo-J-Josh...?"
I hesitantly began,hoping he wasnt mad at me for the events that had taken place the night before.
   "Yes Tyler...?"
   He replied in a concerned,gravelly,tired voice,as his muscles tensed to pull me closer to him.
   "...I'm s-sorry if I ru-ined your n-night...a-nd thank you for sa-saving me..."
   I slowly choked out.
   His eyes were closed but once he heard what I had said he fluttered them open and looked deeply into mine. I could see he looked a bit blue...a bit 'sad'.
   "Tyler...saving you last night was at the very very least a privilege for me,so in no possible way did you,or could you ever ruin my night..."
   He spoke softly and slowly,and I could tell he meant every word that was spoken.
   His words were enough to make my heart start beating faster. I couldn't really tell what the feeling was that came over me then...but it was...comforting to have someone who genuinely cared about me...or who was at least faking it for a little while...
   Josh then sat up. He was still on top of the covers while I was underneath them. The older boy looked at the clock and then motioned for me to do the same.
5:02
  I was guessing that meant he wanted me to get ready for going to the place that I so frequently thought of as heaven compared to the hell that was in my mind,school.
   I got up still in the shorts and sweatshirt that Josh had handed me the night before. I blushed at the thought that I would have to get dressed in front of him.
   "You get dressed I'll go downstairs and make us something to eat yeah?"
   I nodded as he headed down the stairs,leaving me alone with the exception of the demon that lived inside me.
