heathen:machine [Joshler AU] ✔

Tyler is convicted of a crime that he doesn't believe that he did, and the weirdest part, that no one will tell him what it is.

All he knows is that earlier that day, he was with Josh in their woods, the woods that held their tree house, and now he was in a jailhouse wearing an orange jumpsuit and blood on his hands.

He befriends a boy with honestly way too much eyeliner, a quiet boy who was in an illegal relationship with another officer, and more boys who have done awful things that Tyler would never dream of doing.

There's one thing that's not right, however - Josh is missing. And Tyler can't find him.

Until one faithful day, he turns up.

And then he just disappears.
