they finally had a diagnoses. a reason this was happening.
but it was so unexpected because what it was is something so common and oh my god tyler hadn't even realized something so many people had could be this bad.
but it was.
asthma.
a simple little word, that had almost killed josh.
"th-thats it?"
tyler had initially asked, in complete shock. because such a silly little thing couldn't possibly be the same disease that had turned his lovers lips and fingers blue more than once.
"yes, mr. joseph. 'that's it.'"
at first, josh had been hurt by tylers reaction. because he had almost died from this. had he wanted it to be something worse?
but he understood.
soon, the doctor left, and they were simply drowning in an absence of sound.
"you'll be alright, joshie."
a soft, scared hum and a nod
two connected pinkies once again
but somehow
it felt almost empty.
