The sun had risen, Josh wasn't even paying attention to the digital clock in the van. He was too busy focusing on the road, trying to keep himself awake. His eyes fluttered shut, but a sudden siren jolted him awake.

Tyler jumped as well, awakening from his hour long nap. The boys glanced at each other, listening to the siren blare for a continuous minute before it stopped. Josh looked at the clock. It was 7:01.

The purge was over.

He reached across the the center console, taking Tyler's hand in his and squeezing it tightly. This was it. They survived. There was no turning back now. With his free hand, Tyler turned up the radio.

"This is your American Morning News Program. Just after 7 am, May 14th, the annual Purge has concluded. Reports are coming in from all over the country. Firefighters and paramedics are on their way to help the victims of last night. If-"

Josh shut the radio off before reconnecting their hands, feeling Tyler's sweaty palm in his own. "We'll be okay."

Tyler nodded, gulping. "For now."

"For now," Josh chuckled. "I just want to get some rest. See any hotels?"

"Right there," Tyler pointed suddenly, Josh jerking the wheel to not miss the turn. The brunette grabbed onto the oh shit handle, leaning with the car as Josh made a sharp turn.

They pulled into the empty parking lot slowly, ignoring the various ambulances as they zipped past. Josh was sure to lock everything up. This van technically now had illegal weapons inside, if they were seen, Josh and Tyler would be busted.

Tyler grabbed them clean clothes while Josh grabbed the fat stack of cash from inside the center console, counting through to make sure the whole two grand was there. He smiled in satisfaction, linking hands with Tyler as they entered.

A woman looked like she was just getting to work, but the place was completely barren besides her. She noticed the boys covered in blood and gasped.

"Need a shower?"

"Yes, and a room," Josh chuckled. "A cheap one is fine, we only need one bed and one bathroom."

The lady nodded, typing away at her computer. She asked Josh for his name, to which the boy replied, "Jim Hunter." It was ugly and basic, but was the first thing that popped in his head.

She nodded, taking the cash and handing them a room key. "Enjoy your stay."

"Thank you," Josh smiled, leading the brunette to the elevator. They stepped in together, Tyler's arms so full of clothes his face was barely visible.

"Aw, babe," Josh said softly, taking most of the pile. "You only had to grab two outfits, not everything."

"Oh," Tyler laughed, stepping out of the elevator once they reached their floor and following Josh to their room. He helped unlock the door, Josh collapsing on the bed the second they enter the room.

"Holy shit, I'm so tired," Josh yawned.

"Josh!" Tyler shrieked. "Get up! You're going to get the bed dirty!"

Josh shot up, making sure he didn't leave any blood stains on the white sheets. Somehow, he didn't. He breathed a sigh of relief and began stripping. Tyler did the same. 

"Ooh la la," Josh winked, watching Tyler's cheeks turn red. "Shower with me?"

"Fine," Tyler grinned, standing in only his boxers.

After he removed his contacts, Tyler joined the older in a burning hot shower. It felt amazing, hot droplets cascading over Josh's back, slowly washing the dry blood away. He scrubbed himself with the hotel soap, being extra cautious with the bullethole on his shoulder, then helped Tyler do the same.

"This feels great," Tyler groaned, his arms wrapping around Josh's waist as they stood under the water together. Josh's fingers massaged shampoo into his hair, the brunette tilting his head back. "God I've never loved a shower so much."

Josh laughed, tilting his head down so Tyler could wash his hair for him. They always did this when they showered together. Josh would wash both of their bodies, then they would wash each other's hair. It was relaxing, in a way. Josh almost forgot that he wasn't even in Ohio anymore.

"What are our plans?" Tyler asked, his naked chest rubbing against Josh's. He glanced up at the man, gently threading fingers though his wet hair.

"Sleep all day, drive all night," Josh decided, his eyes falling shut. If Tyler kept rubbing his scalp any longer he was going to fall asleep in the damn shower.

"Good idea," Tyler agreed, pulling his fingers away when he noticed Josh beginning to fall asleep. "Let's get out."

So, they turned the shower off and stepped out in unison, Tyler drying himself off completely while Josh just held the towel around himself.

"Dry off," Tyler chuckled, hitting Josh with his towel. "I'm not sleeping with you when you're wet."

"Baby, you always make me wet," Josh winked, lips curling into a sideways smirk. Still finding a way to flirt despite hardly being able to keep his eyes open.

"Shut up," Tyler murmured, smiling as he wrapped his own towel around his waist and began helping Josh. He scrubbed at his hair vigorously, attempting to dry the man as much as possible before dropping the towel. "Come on."

Tyler led Josh out of the bathroom, letting him finally sink into the comfortable bed.

"Don't you want some clothes?" Tyler chuckled, pulling on a pair of clean boxers. Josh groaned and shook his head, climbing under the comforter.

"Come sleep with me. Must cuddle," he mumbled in that tired voice Tyler found so cute. The latter grinned, curling up beneath the covers next to his naked boyfriend.

"I know you don't think so, but you're so cute."

"Not cute," Josh argued, lazy eyes zoning in on Tyler. "Just hot."

"No, very cute," Tyler shook his head, brushing his fingertips over Josh's cheek. The older leaned into his touch, eyes fluttering shut.

"Mmm... Love you so much, baby," he whispered sleepily, barely hanging onto consciousness.

"I love you too, Josh. So, so much.
