"tyler?" josh threw over his shoulder as he locked the front door.

he heard shuffling in the room. then a loud thump and crying.

josh sighed and walked over quickly to their room to see tyler on the floor. a hand was pressed against his head.

"joshy!" he said, standing up and totally ignoring his bleeding head. tears were still running down his checks, but he didn't even care.

he warmly embraced the crying boy, picking him up and taking him to the bathroom to get cleaned up.

"im sorry about everything," tyler whispered, sniffling.

"its fine, babes, i forgive you," josh said after he finished putting the bandage on tyler's head. he kissed his forehead, smiling.

"i love you joshua."

"i love you more, tyler."
