It All Started At Midnight

//Twenty Seven//

I'll probably be changing perspectives in these next chapters like I did with the last one.

Earth....was strange to say the least. The boy wasn't able to open the Earth portal Jenna came in to this world, it was like the area was locked. Whoever closed it, didn't want anyone coming back over here. So while being stuck in between worlds, he found another portal spot not too far from the original one, closer to town. The boy was walking along the sidewalk, taking in everything around him. It was a lot nosier than his home place and a lot more crowded. How in the heavens would he find Tyler in this huge maze? He kept his eyes on the tracker his group built, trying to see if he was anywhere close by. Not keeping his eyes ahead, he bumped into someone, knocking them down. His eyes instantly widened in shock and put the device in his pocket.

"Watch where you're going you Id-" the stranger yelled out, suddenly cutting himself off when he saw the boy.

"I-I'm so sorry! I wasn't seeing where I was going..are you okay?!"

He held his arm out to the fallen person which they took and stood right back up.

"It's alright, I don't mind bumping into cute strangers." He winked. The boy blushed bright red, unable to reply.

"I haven't seen you around here, are you new?"

He simply nodded.

"What's your name then, hot stuff?"

"M-my name is Brendon. Whats yours?" He asked.

"I'm Issa! Ya know if you need a tour of Columbus, I'll be happy to show you around." The stranger winked again.

"Actually, um, I-I know you probably don't know everyone here but do you happen to know a Tyler Joseph?" He asked with wide eyes. Issa thought for a moment and smiled.

"Actually, he's my best friends neighbor. Why do ya need him?" He asked curiously.

"An emergency back where he's from." Brendon stated with urgency, Issa's face quickly looked concerned and nodded.

"I can take you there, if you-

"Yes! Yes oh my god thank you!" Brendon squealed, giving Issa a hug even though they just met. Issa just patted his back lightly, and lead him to Josh's neighborhood.

One step closer to the solution.

"Josh stop worrying if I'm comfortable enough, I'm more than fine, I promise." Tyler smiled fondly at his pacing friend, wondering how to make sure the angel will recover.

"A-are you sure? Do you need more blankets? How about some soup?? Wait what the hell am I thinking? You're magically drained, not with the god damn flu! Are you sure I'm doing good enough? M-maybe I can still co-"

"Josh!"

Silence.

"I feel much better than how I've felt these past few days. You don't need to worry about me so much." The angel spoke softly.

"I..I can't help it. You just mean so much to me.." Josh replies quietly near the end. It was clear he was frustrated, and worn out, Tyler looked at him sympathetically and patted the spot next to him for Josh to sit in.

"Flower boy, what's really going on?"

"I just feel like a fuck-up, these past few days have been so tiring and emotional for me. I wanna distract myself and well, my head is always clear with you." He answers truthfully. Tyler wraps his arms around him and pulls him close.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, some soup does sound pretty good right now." The angel joked. Josh laughed into his neck and pulled away to look at Tyler.

"You're not a fuckup, dude. Trust me, I don't know where I'd be if we were never friends. If I'm honest, I'd probably be in my bed even weaker from the stress."

"Me too...I feel like you saved me that night when you found me in the park all torn up."

"I guess you can call me, your guardian angel." Tyler smirked. Josh rolled his eyes playfully.

"Aaaand the mood is ruined, good going Joseph."

"Oh? So there was a mood?"

"You know what I mean!" The two were laughing once again.

"So about that soup..-

"Oh shit I forgot! Lemme go-"

"No we can order pizza or something, just stay with me for a little longer." The angel said, not wanting this peace to end.

"Trying to build up the mood again I see, angel boy."

"Wow such a creative nickname."

"Says the one that calls me Flower boy."

"Just cuddle me, loser." Tyler smiled.

"Loser?" Josh smirked.

"How about...we play Mario Kart to see who the real loser is, Angel boy."

Josh turned on the TV in front of the bed and the two sat by each other, the cotton candy-haired boy leaning against the angel. Tyler felt the best he's ever felt in a while, smiling to himself at the same lines repeating in his head. He looked down at the smaller boy next to him and felt his heart beat a bit faster. And for once, he didn't push down the feelings.

"You just mean so much to me..."

Im sorry this chapter is really short, I kinda ran out of ideas, I hope it's decent enough. Would you guys mind if I made chapters around this length? It might make the story move faster.
