When the younger boy looked up, he saw the concerned look on Josh's face. He felt a twinge of guilt in his stomach at the thought of somehow appearing ungrateful. Josh nodded before taking a look at Tyler's cereal, still mostly uneaten. Not really hungry anymore. I'm really proud of you. After breakfast, Tyler managed to slip away back to his room. It wasn't that he didn't want to be around Josh Wrapped up in the blanket, only his face was visible as he snuggled inside of his "cocoon.
His mind drifted back to his time in Keeper Training School, where he spent long days and even longer nights with girls and boys just like him. Inside of those walls, the Time Keeper symbol was an adornment, something to cherish and be proud of. And, in the end, everyone had the same hopes and fears, praying that their Protectors would be their soulmates for the many years to come. Things were much simpler back then; goofing around during class and listening to the girls giggle with each other about first kisses and their "dream Protectors.
Your Protector should've done both of you a favor and killed you that night. Tyler began to hyperventilate, tearing himself out of the blanket. Once free, he dragged his knees up to his chest as his vision blurred with tears. As ridiculous as it sounded A hug, a smile, something to reassure him he'd be okay. That maybe everything wasn't as bad as it seemed. But he couldn't possibly ask that of someone who had already done so much for him already.
The last thing he wanted to do was wear out his welcome with Josh. So, instead, he closed his eyes and let the tears fall down his face, whimpering quietly.
Tyler was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the new voice inside the house, accompanied by two pairs of footsteps coming up the stairs. It wasn't until he looked up and saw Josh standing in the doorway with an unfamiliar-looking man that he realized he had been found out.
He quickly wiped away his tears and tried his best to make it look like he was okay. He paused, not believing the brunette for one second, before motioning to the man beside him. Tyler did a brief once-over of Fynn, noticing how tall he was compared to Josh, anyway and the contrast of his almost ice blonde hair against his blue eyes.
Honestly, he looked like a guy one would find on the cover of a fashion magazine Fynn gave him a small smile, sensing the unrest in the air. Um, are you settling in alright? The brunette just nodded, not saying anything more as he looked away, trying to keep himself from falling apart.
Josh came a little closer and tried again to get through to him. Tyler opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw the gentle, pleading look in Josh's eyes, any words he had disintegrated into nothing as he burst into tears. Before he knew it, the two men were sitting on both sides of him as he sobbed away. Before he could stop himself, Josh was taking Tyler into his arms.
He expected a negative reaction but to his surprise, the brunette just clung onto him in return. Fynn watched everything unfold before him, not wanting to intrude on such a fragile, key moment between the two. Deep down, though, he really felt for Tyler and what he was going through Tyler's crying slowly turned into soft sniffles as he started to calm down. He kept his head leaned onto Josh's shoulder as said man rubbed small circles into his back.
Tyler nodded a little. Um, I know I'm a little late in saying this, but Relieved that Tyler wasn't as upset anymore, Josh smiled back at him. It was a foreign, almost ticklish sensation but he stifled a giggle so he wouldn't hurt Josh's feelings.
Instead, he smiled a little and scooched in a bit closer as he listened to Fynn and Josh talk. When Tyler came down into the kitchen the next morning, sleepy and rubbing his eyes, he found Josh with his head nearly inside his cereal bowl. When he didn't get a response, he came a few steps closer and touched him on the shoulder.
Josh jumped awake, making the younger boy flinch a little. He knew the man meant no harm How did you sleep? Tyler shuffled back and forth on his feet. I take it you didn't sleep well? I was up finishing a project due today at work. The brunette's mind went back to the previous night's activities; they had finally ate the spaghetti Josh had promised he'd make and then watched Netflix for the rest of the night while talking on and off.
Once it hit midnight, Tyler had started falling asleep, so Josh helped him upstairs, gave him some new pajamas to change into and told him good night. Chewing at his bottom lip, he looked down at his feet. I didn't mean to. You're so much more important to me than some work project. In the back of his mind, Tyler memorized the way Josh's hand felt in his, tiny sparks running through his veins. Fynn will be here soon. I'm gonna leave some cash for you two to use. Josh was really giving him money to spend on himself?
I don't want you overdoing it. He nodded. Inside of his mind, he hoped it wasn't too forward of a gesture, but after all To his surprise, Josh just smiled and patted his arm. Tyler touched the spot where Josh's hand had been, a tiny group of butterflies fluttering around in his stomach.
He hadn't felt something like this in forever. It was strange, peculiar, exciting Tyler felt like the most boring person ever to exist as he sat in Fynn's car, hand gripping onto the door handle as they weaved in and out of traffic. Here he was dressed in a white tee shirt and a faded pair of jeans while riding on heated leather seats. Even Fynn himself was so much more Just like the previous day, he looked like a guy fresh off the cover of a magazine, while Tyler was just the underpaid lackey with mismatched socks and jeans that looked like they'd been to hell and back.
I just If that makes any sense? Tyler was glad that at least someone could relate to the madness inside of his mind. He raised an eyebrow, surprised that Josh was that The brunette ran his hand up and down the side of his arm. He really hoped that him staying here wasn't putting too much pressure on Josh. He stayed up late with me last night, even though he had stuff to do for work. But you should know that with Josh, it's all or nothing.
There's not much of an in-between with him. Tyler studied Fynn's profile, noticing the subtle hints of pain hidden between the smile lines on his cheeks. Inside of his mind, he wondered what this guy was really all about.
What was his story? How did he even wind up working for Josh in the first place? Last night, he told me he was going to Fynn scratched the back of his neck. I mean, it's nothing bad Fynn snorted a little. But you have to promise not to mention it to Josh.
Grinning, Fynnley reached over and linked his pinky with Tyler's. He wasn't After all, that was the main reason why Josh had came to his aid in the first place. He wasn't just looking for some emotionally screwed-up housemate to keep him company Closing his eyes, he tried to wrap his mind around the enormity of the situation.
He had spent months and months with someone who had backed him into a corner and kept him trapped there until he finally had the courage to escape. And as much as he wanted to ignore it, there were still memories and scars all over his body that he had to deal with. His Protector had been as sweet as could be too But then all of it degraded into something so horrifically damaged that it barely even counted for anything more than just a bitter, painful memory.
He was a Keeper. And Keepers craved Soft touches, kisses, hugs, gentle words and even physical intimacy after a certain amount of trust had been built between the pair.
How was he supposed to give Josh the broken pieces of his heart without losing the most important parts in the process? Tyler looked straight ahead, hands folded in his lap. The redhead rolled his eyes a little and smiled as he came through the front door, dropping his briefcase into its usual spot. I took him to the department store and Walmart. Fynn shrugged. But I guess that's where you come in at, huh? Josh let out a long sigh. No pressure, right?
This is my first time doing this and I don't wanna mess it up somehow and make Tyler even worse. Tyler needs you right now, and the little things you do for him are going to mean so much in the long run. It just takes communication and patience. And I'm with you every step of the way, okay? I have a few errands to run before I go home. But call me if you need anything and let me know how tonight goes. The two said their respective goodbyes before Josh went into the living room to go check on Tyler.
He smiled when he saw that he was still asleep, a light blanket draped over his lower half. Leaning over the top of the couch, he pressed a tiny kiss to his forehead. Loosening the tie from around his neck, he wondered if he should leave Tyler be while he went upstairs to change and get some extra work done. On one hand, he didn't want to disturb him but on the other hand, he didn't want him to freak out when he woke up and saw no one was there.
Reaching down, he slid the blanket off Tyler's body, being careful not to wake him up in the process. Sliding one arm underneath his neck and the other underneath his knees, he scooped him up into his arms. Said boy stirred around a bit, scowling a little as he rubbed at his face but, thankfully, didn't wake up. Josh let out a sigh of relief before heading towards the staircase. It was a bit awkward maneuvering around corners with Tyler's long legs not including the fact that he was dead weight right now but he managed to make it up to his room without any casualties.
Setting him down on his bed, he pulled the covers back over Tyler's body so the boy could retain at least some sort of heat within his fragile bones. Long eyelashes fluttered open as Tyler started to wake up. Vision going in and out of focus, the first thing he noticed was that his head was laying on a pillow that smelled like shampoo and cologne.
A scent suspiciously similar to Holding his head up, he realized he wasn't on the couch anymore but was laying on an unfamiliar bed in an even more unfamiliar room. When he looked across the way, he saw Josh sitting at a desk in front of a computer.
How did he wind up in here? Wasn't he just laying down and watching TV with Fynn? Where was he at, anyway? Did something happen? Tyler's stomach turned at the possibility he might have been taken advantage of while he was sleeping. Oh God, Josh didn't do something to me in my sleep, did he?
Looking down at himself, all of his clothes were still on and nothing seemed out of place. He was virtually the same as before All of the blood rushed out of his face when he saw Josh looking at him. He tripped over his words as he struggled to find the right thing to say.
Wait, no, that sounds weird. Oh gosh. Josh raised an eyebrow but decided not to push it. I'm just responding to some emails for the day. I get way more than I can keep up with sometimes. The redhead laughed. People are just always asking me to do stuff. But if being the self-proclaimed office donkey is considered popular then, yeah, I guess I am. He nodded, giving him a tiny one in return. Wouldn't have said it if I didn't.
It really means a lot. Are you with me? A deep pit formed in Tyler's stomach as he realized that this was "the big talk" Fynn had told him about earlier. Tyler sat all the way up, looping his legs over each other as Josh sat down next to him, the distance or lack thereof between them enticing, yet all the more so terrifying.
Honestly, he just wanted to blurt out that he already knew what Josh was gonna ask so he could spare the both of them some awkwardness, but that would be breaking his pinky promise with Fynn and he was definitely not a pinky promise-breaker. Josh reached over and picked up Tyler's wrist, thumb tracing over his faded Time Keeper symbol. Dark brown eyes following his every move, Tyler remained motionless as he waited for the older man to express what he had on his mind.
You feel those ticks every second you're alive, every time that you breathe. I know how much you've been hurt in the past. And it's okay if you don't trust me at first. But I want to prove to you that you are beautiful. You are important. You are wanted.
And I want to prove that, not just with my words, but with my actions. Tyler, I Would you give me that honor? Tyler was dumbfounded. He had known what Josh was going to ask him but he hadn't expected that. Before he knew it, he was lunging forward and throwing his arms around Josh. The emotion came out of nowhere, hitting him like a ton of bricks as tears flooded his eyelids.
Running his fingers through soft red hair, he thought of a million ways to tell Josh how he felt but found he wasn't pleased with any of them. So he closed his eyes and let the soft whisper of a "yes" dance across the air and straight into his Protector's heart, sealing a critical alliance that could make or break the both of them. When Tyler pulled away, cheeks red and tear-stained, he couldn't bear to look at Josh as all of his fears and insecurities came back with a vengeance. And I'm your Protector.
I give you my heart. It's yours to hold, okay? And if anything I say or do makes you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. I mean that. Even if you have a nightmare at in the morning, I'll hold you until you're not afraid anymore.
And if you wake up and want to watch the sunrise together, then I'll be up and right by your side. Tyler smiled, a soft laugh leaving his lips.
Josh smiled back. He felt the strongest urge to lean over and kiss Josh but feared ruining such a wonderful moment with his lack of self-control. Tyler's heart pulled a little, eyes casting downwards as a small smile formed on his lips. It was the following afternoon and Tyler and Fynnley were sitting out on the back porch, letting the breeze brush across their faces as they listened to the sing-song float down from the trees.
Being out on the back porch was just a conclusion to the series of things they had been up to since the start of the morning. Josh was working from home today and Tyler had woke up feeling sad for reasons unbeknownst to him so Fynn was doing his very best to keep him somewhat occupied. Fynn watched as Tyler pulled his legs up to his chest before resting his head on top of his knees.
Even from just his body language, he could tell that the other boy had a lot on his mind. Tyler shrugged. I shouldn't be. I felt happy when I went to bed last night. And I still am , I just I don't know. Tyler looked away, a tinge of red dusted across his cheeks. Fynn made a mock offended face. A creeper? Fynn laughed. And just like that, Tyler went from sassy right back to shy.
If I were flirting with you, you wouldn't have to ask. But I also think he's scared of me. But I'm trying to be brave for him. I keep trying to tell myself 'it's different now,' but those memories still keep coming back. My Pro-- um, old Protector always told me he would change, things would get better, we just needed to try harder.
But he never did. They were all lies to keep me from leaving him. I'm so ashamed. That I let him put his hands on me all those times and never hit him back. Don't say stuff like that. And it takes an incredibly strong person to do that. But I do know that you can do this. I've known Josh for years and he is a wonderful person.
I think he's really gonna surprise you. Tyler was silent for a few moments, soaking in everything that Fynn said, before he nodded. I needed that. Tyler returned the smile, a tiny one, but a smile nonetheless. I really wanted to kiss Josh last night.
And I didn't want to look desperate either. I can actually count on my hand the number of times my ex-Protector kissed me. You just gotta grab him and plant one on him! A comfortable silence fell over the conversation as Tyler's mind wandered to a daydream involving a beautiful, peaceful meadow Half-past PM and yet another episode of some random cooking show had just finished playing on Netflix Sitting outside had gotten old after a while, so the day's activities had turned into Tyler curling up on the couch and half-watching TV while Fynn worked on cleaning the kitchen.
Inside of his mind, Tyler felt like he was being the laziest bum ever known to mankind. These past few days of doing nothing had been highly unusual for him. With his old Protector, he never got a chance to just sit down and watch TV. All day, every day was spent cleaning, cooking and trying to make everything perfect just so his Protector could come home and mess it all up again.
It still had to be perfect, though. Nothing less was expected, nor tolerated. His ex-Protector could wake up, turn the whole house upside down, and still expect everything to be immaculate by the time he came home from work. Tyler thought about getting up and asking Fynn if he needed any help with cleaning. But he already knew the answer would be no.
Amazing how such a mind-numbing activity like watching TV still made your thoughts go absolutely haywire Tyler looked up to see Josh walking into the living room.
Me, on the other hand Any better? The lower that it gets, the worse my body feels. But I'm feeling a lot better compared to before. Speaking of your Time Keeper I wanted to talk to you about something.
You woke up feeling sad and I was too busy working to spend time with you. So I apologize for that. I'm sure Fynn's done a great job of keeping you company but I know it's not the same as being with your Protector.
I'm really sorry. Tyler couldn't help but laugh a little at his choice of words. Still, he felt bad for making Josh think that he was doing a poor job. I understand that you have to work and I appreciate everything you've been doing to make me feel more comfortable.
You are much more important to me than work. We need to focus on bonding and getting to know each other better, since this is still so new for the both of us. Tyler was almost speechless. He was really taking time off work A-Are you sure?
Hey, people take time off to get married or have a kid. I don't see how connecting with your Keeper is any different. A weird feeling washed over Tyler's skin at the thought of being alone with his new Protector. He wasn't scared of Josh, per se, but more so of all the things that could potentially happen. Josh leaned over and placed a tiny kiss on Tyler's cheek. He's a big boy. Tyler couldn't help but smile back, the spot where Josh's lips had been still burning a little.
Tyler tried his best to keep up with Josh as he led him over to a small ice cream stand in the middle of the park. They had arrived just ten minutes earlier and he was already mesmerized by the scenery. He had spent most of his life here in this city, yet had never been to this park before.
Did he even know his hometown? When it was their turn to order, Tyler felt a bit too shy, so he let Josh take the lead. Tyler stood off to the side, feeling a bit awkward as Josh paid for their ice cream.
A considerable line was forming behind them and he began to worry that someone might notice his Time Keeper symbol. So he turned around, pulled the sleeves on his jacket even further down and crossed his arms across his chest, willing himself completely invisible and out of judgment's way. He turned back around to see Josh with two ice cream cones in hand and a concerned look on his face. Feeling embarrassed by how weird he was being, he nodded and accepted the ice cream, otherwise remaining silent.
The redhead wasn't fooled, though, so he placed a comforting hand on the small of Tyler's back. Tyler followed him a way's down the path until it split off into a fork. Taking the second pathway, they walked for a few more minutes before their final destination came into view. Tyler watched as his Protector took off running, leaving him in the dust. Chuckling, he kept walking at his own pace, not bothered to chase after Josh while he was still eating his ice cream.
When he finally got over to the swings, Josh was licking his ice cream cone with one hand while holding onto the seat chain with the other.
Tyler smiled. He sure had an interesting Protector. Was this really the man that he was going to devote his entire life and heart to? If things kept going the way they were After a while, Josh stopped swinging and the two of them just pushed their shoes back and forth through the wood chips. It's precious. Tyler held his hand up to his lips, feeling a bit self-conscious at just the mention of it. My bottom teeth are so crooked. But no matter how big, small, straight or crooked your smile is And I think that's absolutely beautiful.
Tyler smiled back, a bit more naturally this time, as he reached over and laid his hand on top of Josh's. I like your smile too, by the way. The pair climbed up the steps to the jungle gym before settling down on the landing between the monkey bars and the slide.
It was a tight fit, but not too uncomfortable for two boys enjoying each other's company. This was my go-to spot when I was younger and needed some time to myself. When Josh gave him a puzzled look, he elaborated further. Almost like you're lost in your thoughts and can't find your way out again? I'm either thinking or worrying or panicking I know I'm alive, but am I really? Sometimes it just feels like Nothing ever feels Josh nodded slowly, amazed at their unspoken synchronicity.
You get it, Tyler. Tyler scooted a little closer before letting his head rest on top of Josh's shoulder. We have each other now, right? I'm still brand new at this. As Josh gazed back into the boy's brown, almost doe-like eyes, he felt an unmistakable pull in his heart.
Tyler sat up, moving his body so he faced Josh, and splayed his fingers across the older man's knee. Tyler closed his eyes, moving in closer as well. Every fiber in his body relaxed at once when Josh's lips touched against his; it was simple, it was sweet, it was just right. After a few soft kisses, Tyler pulled away and smiled, his cheeks painted a dark red. Josh returned the smile, intertwining their fingers together as he leaned in to press a quick kiss to Tyler's forehead.
Are you okay? Tyler watched the "battle to the death" unfold between Fynn and Josh as they raced each other in Mario Kart. Normally, he wouldn't mind joining in the fun, but alas It had all started a day after his and Josh's trip to the park which, even days later, he was still re-playing it inside his head.
He was fine that evening, but by morning time, he had a scratchy throat, runny nose, and a fever. Tyler attributed it to his Time Keeper being so low for such a long time. Josh guessed it was something he picked up on the playground. And Fynn was just trying his best to keep everyone comfortable. For the past few days, the two men had been acting as Tyler's "nurses. In between everything, they took turns watching movies with him, playing video games, listening to music, and telling stories.
But despite the fact that he felt horrible, Tyler had to admit that this had been the most relaxing three days he ever had. In the back of his mind, though, he wondered what he could possibly do to pay Fynnley and Josh back after he was feeling better again. I swear to God he's rigged the game. Josh rolled his eyes. You should know by now not to play with the Mario Kart master. Tyler pulled his blanket up a bit further and sniffled as he listened to the two boys banter back and forth about video games and "rigged controllers.
He felt the safest when he was stuck in the middle of their corny jokes and sarcastic remarks. It had been so long since he could smile so easily, even if the smiles still weren't as big as when he was a young child, caught up in the blissful unawareness of the cold world around him. Closing his eyes, the conversation faded into the background as he drifted off into a light sleep. Sometimes he felt like all he did was sleep, yet he never felt more rested.
He couldn't figure out whether it was from chronic exhaustion, depression or something else he couldn't quite put his finger on. Regardless of the cause, though, he prayed that Josh wouldn't think he was some sort of freeloader.
The last thing he needed was to lose his Protector's approval. His Time Keeper was far too weak to go through another heartbreak like that again After what seemed like a minute, he opened his eyes to see that the TV was off, Fynn had disappeared and Josh was sitting on the other couch, looking at his phone.
Tyler blushed. He knew Josh wasn't judging him but he still felt embarrassed by the fact he probably looked incredibly stupid. Noticing the look on Tyler's face, Josh decided to get up and come closer. Crouching down next to the couch, he pressed a soft kiss to his forehead.
It might help your throat feel better. After he walked away, Tyler decided to sit up and reach for the box of tissues so he could blow his nose. By the time Josh came back, he could finally breathe a little bit better. Josh took a seat next to Tyler. My parents are forcing me to go out to dinner with them on Friday night, so I have to put on my Sunday best. A bit judgmental.
Remember when I told you my parents are well-off? Well, they tend to That told him right there he probably wouldn't be the type of person Josh's parents would go for. He could only dream of being able to afford a house like this or Josh laughed. They can't be outdone by anyone. It's "Keeping Up With the Duns" to the nth degree. He couldn't help but laugh, which quickly turned into a coughing fit. You have the softest lips.
It's a shame I've only gotten to kiss them once," he said, nuzzling his nose into the crook of Tyler's neck. Tyler giggled at the contact. Just wanna eat you up. Josh chuckled and mouthed another light kiss onto the nape of his neck, breath tingling against his skin. The younger boy let his head fall back onto the couch cushions, sighing. M'tired of all the coughing and snot.
We'll get you through this. Josh's free hand went up to Tyler's face, gently cupping his chin. If his Protector kept this up, it would be the absolute death of him. Any thoughts of the germs exchanged between them left Tyler's mind as they shared a few, soft kisses. The younger boy tried his best to breathe through his nose as he shifted around, linking his arms around Josh's neck. Another shot of tingles went up and down his arms as the redhead's hands roamed across his face, fingers brushing across his earlobes.
Tyler was just starting to lay back when there was a loud 'ahem. Josh rolled his eyes, huffing a little as he settled back onto the couch. He shrugged. Especially when I'm walking in on you two lovebirds making out. I'll take care of Tyler, no problem, but I'm not taking care of you because you whine too much when you're sick. And with that, they were off again, leaving the younger boy a congested, elated, blushing mess.
By the time Friday came around, Tyler was feeling a lot better. He still had a lingering cough and a bit of congestion, but his fever and sore throat were all but gone. Josh had gotten a little snuffly for a day or two, but much to his surprise, he stayed well.
Fynn was glad he didn't have to take care of two sick boys but Tyler was just glad Josh didn't get sick right before the dinner with his parents. Speaking of Josh Tyler hadn't seen him since earlier that afternoon. Granted, he had been in his room for most of the day, but it was typical of his Protector to at least come visit with him.
Maybe he's busy, Tyler thought. After all, he has a life too. It's not all about me. He really hoped he wasn't being a pest. Josh had never given him a reason to think that, but that was his brain for him, overthinking everything as usual. Sighing, he kicked his legs over to the side of the bed. At this point, the only way he could find out was to go and see for himself, right?
When he poked his head out the doorway, he saw that the door to Josh's room was closed, which struck him as odd. Tip-toeing down the hallway to his door, he listened for any signs of movement. Hopefully this wouldn't turn into one of those inopportune times where Fynn showed up out of absolutely nowhere and scared him Tyler froze, not sure if his mind was just playing tricks on him. He leaned in closer to the door, and sure enough, he could just barely make out the sound of moaning.
Every single possibility ran through his head at once. Was there somebody in there with Josh? Was he cheating on him already? Was it Fynn? Was he having a threesome?
All of the blood in his body rushed to his face as all of the air rushed out of his lungs. Backing away from the door, he couldn't decide whether to run back to his room or just curl up into a ball and die right there.
Somehow or another, he wound up hurrying downstairs, desperate to find the one person who he knew could make at least some sense out of all this. He found Fynn in the laundry room. Said blonde looked up when he came in, frowning at the bewildered look on the younger boy's face.
Tyler went around in circles with his answers. Fynn raised an eyebrow before crossing his arms. There was a moment of silence before Fynnley chuckled.
His body really couldn't handle all of this embarrassment right now. The most I touch it is when I'm in the shower. I don't really know how," he murmured. The blonde was stunned. Mumbling a curse word underneath his breath, he let out a sigh. I don't get it. You're 20 years old, shouldn't you be having like 50 hard-ons a day?
It doesn't happen a lot. But when it does, I just try to distract myself until it goes away. We kissed a little in the beginning, like I mentioned before, but that was about it.
He told me my body was disgusting, so we were never intimate with each other. And when you're getting punched on a daily basis, your hormones just sort of So whenever I did get Fynn reached over and laid a hand on his shoulder. Trust me. Any guy would be lucky to have the chance to be with you. You're cute, sweet, funny and such a caring person.
I know that may not mean a whole lot coming from me but I want you to know anyway. Bending his big toe against the floor, Tyler fiddled around with his hands. The brunette shook his head. Fynn laughed before bending down to pick up the laundry basket again. I know you mean well, but I'm not about to get my ass kicked. Fresh out of the shower, Tyler laid on the cool sheets and stared down at himself, nothing on his hips but a new pair of boxer briefs.
He really wished Josh were here right now for some Though, to be honest, if he were here, he would probably be too embarrassed to even move. Josh was out to his dinner, leaving the younger boy with the house to himself and nothing but time on his hands.
That, combined with the not-so-subtle suggestion Fynn had made earlier, made him want to at least Laying his hand across his crotch, he wondered how he was even supposed to get things started.
He knew he had to be hard , of course, but how was he supposed to get himself to that point? Maybe if Josh were here kissing him, it would be a little easier. But at least he wasn't aware of the mischief his Keeper was getting himself into right now His mind went back to how safe and warm he had felt when Josh was nuzzling and kissing his neck that one day in the living room.
He'd love for Josh to do it again but bringing it up was out of the question for a shy, young man like himself. Closing his eyes, his thoughts drifted to what could have happened that day had Fynnley not interrupted them.
The skin around his Keeper symbol began to tingle as his imagination picked up where real life had left off. Tyler let himself be laid down, hands reaching up to tangle themselves in Josh's hair.
An overwhelming sense of warmth washed over him as the redhead rested his body on top of his. He blushed when he felt something pressing against his thigh, a bit pleased he had made his Protector feel that way.
He opened his mouth to say something else, but everything disappeared when Josh moved down to his neck, trailing soft, wet kisses across the skin there. A soft moan left Tyler's lips as he closed his eyes, head tilting to the side.
Tyler's imagination ran out of fuel mainly due to lack of experience and he drifted back into reality. Hand halfway into his underwear, he couldn't ignore how dry everything felt. He thought about getting the lube out of the bathroom but he didn't want to risk losing what he had going, so he stuck his fingers in his mouth and made them as wet as possible.
Sliding his underwear down to his knees, he stared at his dick as it stood to attention against his tummy. He had seen it a million times before, of course, but it was still so weird seeing it like Blushing, he wondered what Josh looked like down there.
He was probably so much bigger than him. Not that he really knew what was considered "big" anyway As he wrapped a hand around himself, he hoped to God that this wouldn't be the one time Josh decided to come home early. If he walked in on him doing this, he knew for a certainty that he would have a heart attack and die right on this bed.
Left hand roaming across his chest, his right hand started moving up and down. Still a bit too much friction, he slicked the palm of his hand with more spit and tried again. He let out a long, shuddering breath as he settled into a slow, but steady rhythm.
Inside of his arm, he felt his Time Keeper begin to tick, tick, tick even faster. A soft moan left his lips when his fingers brushed against a particularly sensitive spot on the underside of his dick. Running his thumb over his left nipple, he squirmed at the pleasant feeling running from his groin all the way down to his tippy-toes.
He imagined the older man's lips on his neck, kissing away until he couldn't stand it anymore, with those strong hands roaming up and down the unexplored areas of his body.
Within a few minutes, Tyler felt his stomach tightening up, his Time Keeper burning inside of his arm. The faster his hand went, the more his insides felt close to exploding. Adjusting his grip so his fingers went over that one spot again, his free hand grabbed at the sheets as everything fell apart around him. Body twisting to the side, he buried his face in the pillow, struggling to breathe as waves and waves of pleasure came crashing down on top of him.
Panting harder than ever before, he felt like he was drowning, dying and being re-born A few minutes later, he took his face out of the pillow and opened his eyes to a chest covered in sweat and cum. Still struggling to catch his breath, he turned over onto his side, legs curled up underneath him as his head spun with hormones and elation.
He nearly jumped out of his skin when his phone started ringing over on the nightstand. Rolling back over, he picked it up and saw that it was By the way, I brought some leftovers back with me if you're hungry. There was a brief pause before Josh spoke again. Your voice is all raspy. Tyler thought about telling him he had been eavesdropping outside of his door but decided against it. Sorry, I know that's probably a super awkward question.
It was my first time, actually. Tyler nodded before he realized that Josh couldn't see him. I'm a virgin, so I don't have much experience in But it's not like I was trying out a new food or something like that. If you're feeling up to it, you can eat and then we can cuddle. The tick, tick, tick in his arm reminded him of the new, growing bond between him and his Protector. Even at AM, it seemed more like nighttime with how dark and stormy it was outside.
Messy hair and a yawn on his lips, Josh shuffled through the kitchen as he made his usual cup of coffee. He was glad that he didn't have anything planned for today because, honestly, he just wanted to crawl into bed and go back to sleep. After he finished making his coffee, he took out another mug for Tyler.
The younger boy had picked up his morning habit much to his delight and they were going through coffee twice as fast now. He didn't mind at all, though; anything to make his Keeper feel more normal again. If there was only one thing Tyler deserved, it was to feel like the lovely person that he truly was. Mugs in hand, he left the kitchen and climbed up the stairs, intent on waking Tyler up with kisses and caffeine.
To his delight, he found the young boy still asleep, curled up into his usual blanket burrito. He looked almost too cute to wake up, but hey, his coffee wasn't going to drink itself. Sitting down on the other side of the bed, Josh placed the cups down on the bedside table before scooting in closer to Tyler, heart pulling as he listened to his tiny snores.
Everything about this boy was so gentle and soft that Josh wondered if an abrasive molecule even existed inside of his body. He pressed a soft kiss to his forehead before moving down to his ear and whispering, "Good morning, angel. Tyler stirred around a little before opening up his eyes. He gave Josh a few slow blinks, his mind obviously still stuck between dreams and reality. Josh brushed a stray hair back behind his ear and smiled. Can I have a kiss? It's not gonna kill me. Still giggling, Tyler's hands came out from underneath the blanket to tangle themselves in Josh's hair, memorizing the way his bright hair curled at the ends.
I'm your baby boy? This was actually DNF I skimmed through to see where the story if there's any goes. A lots of girls of course I guess next time I see him play a corporate CEO or politician those are usually his roles in contemporary or historical I will have a hard time not to remember this mess. I guess guys will enjoy this I personally need a brain-bleach. View 2 comments.

And after a certain point I just had to know whether our geeky hero would overcome his powers and his social awkwardness and would win over his pretty neighbour. The art style was pretty good in this ecchi borders hentai tale of romance. I dunno really, was a genre first for me. Apr 16, Mya rated it really liked it. What a sweet, heartwarming porn. Excellent drawings, I wonder if they traced most of it. The "science" explanations were cringe but ok.
I am really not about to nitpick a porny comic, ya feel. Also so many shiny genitals, super funny. Oh yeah, and I really appreciate that the Russian guy wasn't potrayed in an offensive way, yanno what I mean and how it is with foreigners in manga so I'd presume manhwa have the same issue generally.
