Eventually, it was around one in the morning, and both boys were still kissing and hugging and saying they loved one another.

"Come back with me, Joshie," Tyler whispered in his ear. "We still haven't slept together, and were engaged now."

"Baby, do you know how much trouble we'll be in if they find us together? Especially in your bed?"

"Please, Josh..."

"Alright, Alright, baby. I'll do it. It's worth it getting to be with you and protect you for at least one night," Josh said.

Tyler smiled widely and nodded.

They walked hand in hand back to Tyler's unit, sneaking ever so silently inside.

They both stripped to their boxers only, josh crawling into bed first and opening his arms wide for his fiancé to crawl into.

Tyler did, and he had never felt safer.

"This is so much comfier than the couch on the porch was," he giggled softly into Josh's ear."

Josh smiled and nodded in agreement, kissing Tyler's head. "Love you, Tyler."

"Love you more, Joshua."

"I'm gonna have to get up really early tomorrow so nobody sees me," Josh said.

"Ok, just wake me up so I can kiss you and tell you goodbye," Tyler said.

Josh nodded, leaning forward and kissing Tyler's lips deeply.

It got heated, and soon, Josh was on top of Tyler, grinding their crotches together.

Tyler moaned softly, squeezing Josh's hands.

"Feel good, baby?" Josh asked.

"Mhmmm," Tyler hummed.

"Should we take it all the way, babe?" He mumbled in Tyler's ear. "Or do you wanna wait for our wedding night?"

"What do you wanna do?" Tyler asked, cupping josh's cheek as he looked into his eyes.

"Whatever you wanna do, my love," Josh smiled, leaning forward and kissing Tyler's lips.

"Let's wait to take it all the way," Tyler said. "Gives is another thing to look forward to on our wedding day."

Josh smiled and nodded, kissing Tyler's lips. He then collapsed to Tyler's side, holding him tightly in his arms.

"We won't get to do this often, baby," Josh sighed in his ear.

"I know," Tyler said sadly.

"But when we're married, it's all we're gonna be doing," Josh grinned. "Just, naked, probably."

Tyler blushed and giggled, covering his face with his hands.

Josh giggled and hugged his fiancé tightly. "Love you, baby."

"Love you too, Joshie."

And with that, the boys fell asleep.

It was 4:30 in the morning when Josh woke up and had to go so the darkness would conceal him sneaking back to his unit.

He woke tyler up.

"Baby?" He said quietly, kissing his fiancé's cheek. "I gotta go. I love you so so so much. Don't you dare forget that."

Tyler started to cry, but Josh quickly picked him up and just held him. "I'm gonna miss you, Joshie..."

"I'm gonna miss you too, Ty," Josh said, rubbing up and down his back gently. "I love you, i love you, i love you. Stay safe, baby. Remember the wedding, yeah?"

Tyler sniffled and nodded, but he continued to cling to his fiancé.

Five minutes passed. "Ok, baby, I really, really have to go. It's gonna be light soon and me getting caught means neither of us see each other again. I love you so so so much. You're beautiful and perfect and remember to take care of yourself."

Tyler sniffled but nodded. "O-ok. I-i love you more than anything. Please be safe."

"I will, Ty. I'll talk to you in a month," he said with a sad smile.

Tyler walked him out to the patio where they had one final deep, passionate kiss before Josh was on his way back.

And oh, how tyler missed him already.
