Hounded

23. flashbacks and improvement

In the morning Tyler was up before Josh as he usually was. He sat up just watching Josh sleep. When Josh finally woke he jumped a bit seeing Tyler. "Sorry." Tyler whispered. "Its okay. What time is it?" Josh asked. "Five am." Tyler replied. "Whatre you doin up?.. what's wrong?" Josh asked noticing the tears on Tyler's cheeks.

"Flashbacks." Tyler whispered. "Flashbacks? Like from war?" Josh asked, pushing himself to sit up. Tyler nodded. "Have em lot." He said. Josh pursed his lips before pulling Tyler into his lap and hugging him. "I'm so sorry you had to go through all that." Josh said. Tyler shrugged, playing with Josh's hair. "Why dont we get up and I'll make us something to eat?" Josh asked. Tyler nodded.

It was decided by Tyler that he would stay with Josh. He would still keep in contact with jenna he just couldnt bring himself to leave Josh again. He was too scared of losing him forever. Josh worked a lot now and Tyler always feared he wouldnt come back but he always did.

Josh put Tyler in a speech class to help him get better at talking and putting sentences together. Tyler still had really bad flashbacks but Josh always helped him through them.

Tyler went into his heat for the first time since he was away, which was scary because he was still in the middle of the battle zone when it happened. The other soilders had taught him a better way to handle it rather then humping anything in sight. He had a better control over himself now too.

So when Josh got home from work today he found Tyler jerking off in the bedroom. He stopped in the doorway and stared for a moment before clearing his throat. Tyler looked up at him but didnt stop, only whining. Josh slowly walked over.

"Are you in heat?" Josh asked, scratching behind Tyler's ear. Tyler made an odd noise of pleasure but nodded. He was completely naked, leaving all his scars visible but Josh didnt mind. He was proud of Tyler for what hes been through and tells him everyday how brave and strong he is.

"Okay I'll leave you be." Josh said, going to walk away. Tyler shook his head, his free hand shooting out to grab Josh's wrist. He was panting and clearly getting close. Josh watched, wanting to jerk off too.

Tyler tugged on Josh's sleeve. "Want me to lay down?" Josh asked. Tyler nodded. When Josh did Tyler rolled onto his side, burying his face in Josh's neck and taking in his scent. Josh heard him growl slightly before his shirt was between Tyler's teeth, being pulled at every few seconds as Tyler continued to touch himself.

Josh scent made Tyler finish faster. He doesnt know why but just having Josh with him when hes in heat makes it ten times better. Josh's scent made Tyler's brain fill with endorphins and make him want to touch himself over and over.

He panted as he finished. Realsing Josh's shirt from his teeth once he calmed down and laying down. Josh got up and grabbed something to clean up the mess tylrr made before laying back down with him.

The next few days Tyler would pull Josh onto the bed with him and do that same thing, he couldnt get enough of having Josh there with him during times like this.

When his heat was over though he said sorry to Josh but also thanked him for putting up with it. "Its okay. I dont mind." Josh said. Tyler nodded and cuddled up with Josh that morning.  "Thanks for not letting me stay in that mansion... dont know what I would have done with out you." Tyler said.

Josh smiled and kissed Tyler's forehead repeatedly, rolling him onto his back when Tyler giggled and started tickling him. Tyler squealed and tried to get away, laughing and squirming under Josh.

"Josh- joshh no I- I'm gonna pee stop." Tyler giggled, trying to shove Josh away, his speaking has improved significantly since Josh put him in those classes. "Dont you dare pee on the bed." Josh said, but didnt stop tickling him. "I-I got animalistic tendencies and behaviors. I could pee everywhere like a newborn puppy." Tyler said, laughing and trying to catch his breath.

"You're potty trained." Josh grinned. Tyler whined, trying to grab Josh's hands. "I'm serious I'm gonna pee!" He exclaimed. Josh chuckled but finally stopped, moving to give Tyler a quick kiss before getting off him. "Go pee." He said. Tyler got up quickly and ran to the bathroom.

When he came back he smiled at Josh and jumped on the bed. "Now that you went pee I can tickle you again!" Josh said. "No!" Tyler screeched, quickly teleporting up into the corner. "Hey no fair get down." Josh said. Tyler stuck out his tongue but dropped to the floor.

He curled up at Josh's side on the bed as Josh turned on the TV. They watched the news for a bit before the news lady starting talking about it being close to remembrance day, showing pictures and snippets of war scenes. Tyler's PTSD kicked in quickly, he started freaking out, crying and hyperventilating as flashbacks invaded his mind.

"Hey no Shh Shh." Josh whispered, quickly shutting the TV off and trying to soothe Tyler. Tyler was shaking his head, squeezing his eyes shut tightly. "Shh shhh it's okay. You're safe. im safe. Everyone's safe. Youre home. I'm here." Josh whispered. 

It took Josh a little while to calm Tyler down but when he had he just hugged him. Kissing his forehead and letting him know he was still safe.
