Because of his temperature sensitivity, (especially coming and out of the shower!) Josh had a towel wrapped around his waist, and another wrapped around his shoulders. He came up behind Skylar and smiled a little. "N-Now you can see how f-freaking handsome you are." He said, and started to shake his hair dry.
Josh gave him a small kiss on the side of his face and shrugged. "Eh, I didn't think it was p-possible..." He took the towel off his shoulders and began to pull a shirt on. "... To be so sexy."

Josh smiled at him with an that childish, original smile he had, and he reached out to pinch him. "Sure."
Josh didn't let him get far. He came behind him and wrapped him into a hug. "I'm sorry. I believe you."

Josh nodded and kissed him back. "I think I've cl-clued in by n-now." He stuttered, and gave him one final squeeze before letting go.
Josh was halfway through pulling his jeans on when he caught the look. He gave Skylar a curious, tedious smile and he stood up straight and did up his buckles. "What's wrong?"

Josh was silent for a long, long time. He swallowed hard and ran his fingers through his hair. "There's..." He took a deep breath. "I... I h-have something to t-tell you hun..."
"I uh," Josh watched him, his eyes a little distant. "I d-don't really kn-know how l-long I'll l-live... W-Wolves only get to be ab-bout fifteen. I g-got bitten s-six years ag-go..." He spoke quietly, having only realized this when Darren had presented him with the facts a couple days ago.
Suddenly Josh choked up. His hands curled up around his back and he buried his face into Skylar's shoulder, squeezing his eyes shut as they began to prickle. "B-But it m-makes sense d-doesn't it," he said, the grievance easy to hear in his voice. "Can you r-really see me ch-changing after y-years... Going through all that until I d-die n-naturally-y? I c-can't... L-Live..." He stopped and his chest jumped with a siffled sob. This was the real reason he didn't want Skylar to be a wolf.

Now that they were dry, Josh could feel his tears when they met his skin. Somehow they stung. He tried not to cry, he tried so hard. But they came anyway, racing down his face and dripping off his chin. "Sk-k-k...y..." He stuttered. "It's ok-kay," he tried to smile, but it stuggled on his face. "I have t-ten y-years left st-till... Darren has ev-ven l-longer... That's why he ch-changes so easil-ly... Besides," he cupped Skylar's face into his shaking hands. "I don't kn-know for s-sure... I don't know wh-what'll happen to m-me..."

"No you're not." Josh said firmly, his crying brown eyes switching between Skylar's eyes. "You're n-not better off d-dead. You're not. I'm so s-sorry," he ran a thumb over his cheek. "I didn't even kn-know... Darren told me a c-couple d-days ago... He's so smart..." He smiled a little, sadly. "I don't know if there is a w-way hun..."

"Sky..." Josh stood there for a moment, his hair just starting to dry. "Sky don't... Walk away..." He put his face into his hands and he took a deep, shuddering breath.
Darren was sitting outside the door, but he hadn't heard anything. "Ready to go?" He asked, a smile on his face. Somehow he managed to hide the torment of this knowledge inside.

Josh came in behind him quietly, sitting there in a deep kind of silence. His eyes were still recovering from crying, and he kept rubbing them as if it would help. He leaned against the side if the car instead of Skylar's shoulder, which he would have usually have used. He didn't say anything... What was there to say? There were millions of words he had, but none of them seemed to fit. He brought his knees up onto the seat with him... Trying to stay calm.
Darren came in infront of them and sat down. He glanced between Josh and Skylar nervously. He had a feeling he knew what had happened...

Josh closed his eyes tightly and willingly curled into Skylar as he pulled him closer. He knew how Skylar must be feeling... He kind of felt the same. He only got so many years with him and then poof. He would be gone, all alone in whatever came after death. He felt terrible... He didn't want to leave Skylar. He didn't want him to be alone. But then... He would find someone else, wouldn't he? The thought made him jealous despite everything. If he was going to die, all Josh wanted was to be around Skylar until his time was up.
((XD Are you crying too?
I was sitting in contemplation earlier, and it occured to me. Can you really imagine Josh being seventy years old and changing every twelve hours? His metabolism wouldn't hack it. So, for logic's sake I made it depressing.
But we can fix it!
Josh has an angel looking out for him right? After the battle, when Skylar gets to be a wolf and stuff, we can have Emily bless them. Get them into heaven if it ever comes to be, and in the meantime give them immortality (of sorts).))

((Yeah... It sounds so deceitful to have either one of them get seduced by Mark - especially considering the whole 'marriage, kid, life expectancy' thing they got going on...))
((Yeesh... I dunno, it still sounds so wrong... Maybe we can have that enchantment thingy happen - but make it super strong?))
((I don't think so... But only if they're HEAVILY enchanted. Because to cheat shows a lack of self control and conviction. So...))

((Well there's a big difference between mind and body. No need to enchant his body, no, but his mind would need some heavy convincing.))

Josh's chest caught again but he nodded, biting his bottom lip hard. "G-Good..." He said, voice barely above a murmur. It was difficult for him to think he only had so many years left... "I'm s-sorry."
