Met By Chance, Stayed By Choice.

When they arrived back at the apartment Tyler quickly shoved josh away with a shiver and opened the door, stumbling inside fast. Josh followed and his cheeks tinted red as Tyler began stripping his wet clothes off down to his boxers and tossing them into the laundry basket off to the side in his living room. That was when he first noticed them. They were all up his arms and down his thighs. Deep enough to cause a lot of pain, but shallow enough to never die. Tyler's body was full of self harm marks, old and new.

"What are you looking at...you aren't one to judge." Tyler muttered as he caught josh staring at his marked body.

"N-no I wasn't! I uh..it just threw me off a bit. I'm sorry, you look amazing- I mean not like that I just-" josh jumped over his words trying to be as polite as possible but it just wasn't working.

"Just shut up... You can take your wet clothes off. I'll grab you some dry ones." Tyler sighed as he walked away to his bedroom and josh undressed himself.

Tyler came back in PJs that covered all his skin again, and brought a pair for josh as well. When his eyes fell on josh's body he couldn't help but notice all the slim and defined muscles he had scattered down his stomach and along his arms.  He was actually not a bad looking guy despite his sad kind of puppy looking face. But he had a great body. Tyler just had to keep reminding himself they guy was a prostutute. /His/ own prostitute.

"Here..get dressed. I tried to find the biggest ones I could." He mumbled and josh started getting dressed right away.

They fit at least. Josh stood quietly like he was waiting for an order or something. But really Tyler had nothing he really wanted to say or do. He looked at the stove and the lock read '2:34am' in bright green numbers. He sighed feeling his hips aching.

"Unless you have any great ideas on what we could possibly do at this time... I think I should head off to sleep. You're welcome to join me when you get tired. Or you can stay up and watch TV till you get sleepy but I dont care really." Tyler crossed his arms and kind of shuffled off towards his bedroom.

'Did I really just invite him to sleep with me...' Was all that was running through his head as he shut the lights off and laid down. Tyler closed his eyes and pulled the covers high over his head listening for josh. Josh stood kind of dumbfounded in the livingroom. He didn't really want to watch TV, nor did he want to impose or wake the other male up. Tyler could hear him pacing and sighing repeatedly until finally he just yelled out to him.

"Alright alright! Enough already you moron. Get in here and go to sleep if you're just gonna cause more annoyance, idiot..." Tyler groaned and josh bolted where he stood and froze.

Josh shuffled to the room tiredly and closed the door behind him as he made his way to the edge of the bed. He slowly got in and pulled the covers up over him. The entire bed sunk a bit on his side when he laid down. Tyler could see his dark figure in the blackness of his room. He could tell josh was laying stiff like a board. He could a feel slight shaking coming from josh's side.

"You alright?" Tyler mumbled not sure what would have him shakily. It was pitch black in here.

"I-im fine..I'm fine-" josh stammered out staring aimlessly. He could never sleep without the lights on, but right now he didn't want to tell his 'customer' that.

Tyler rolled his eyes slowly touching josh's arm with his fingertips, feeling the shaking, the goosebumps, and the slight tenseness of his muscles contracting. He slid a bit closer, pushing josh's arm up and laying under it, against the purple haired boys side. Josh froze, speechless, and a little in shock.

"G-goodnight Tyler." He stuttered out and got a slight grunt in response.

"Mn..whatever josh." Tyler barely got out holding onto josh tightly, And somewhat soothingly.

Josh laid stiff not yet giving into the warmth thst was slowly covering his one side. He hadn't been held in well over two years. He hadn't spent a night with someone who didn't want him for any sexuak favours. He'd never hung out or gone out to eat or done anything normal with anyone in so long.

Slowly josh wrapped an arm around tykers shoulders and pulled him closer. Slightly wet lips pressed against Tyler's forehead just as his snores could be heard. And josh repeated once again in a whisper;

Goodnight Tyler.
