IT was a fairly warm day in Gravity falls, and Tyrone was dying to get out of the house. The air condition was freezing him alive, and everyone seemed to be out doing something today. He hadn't seen PJ in a while, so he decided to go look for him. Last time he saw him, he was skipping into the forest. Tyrone left the mystery shack, glad to warm himself. He trudged deep into the autumn woods. He hadn't seen PJ in a while, and had grown worried. The sun filtered softly through the beautiful pine trees, reflecting the lovely golden color of the fallen leaves. IT warmed his chilly bones as he ventured deeper into the forest. Eventually, as he neared the lake, he heard a soft sniffling sound and a hoarse cough. He turned, only to see PJ huddled on the ground with his head in his hands. He was caked with dirt and leaves, and had nasty purpled bruises all over his arms and legs. Small footsteps led to the tree, along with a parade of others trailing behind.

"PJ what happened?!" Tyrone hustled over to him..

"NEINNENG… NEEEING! (I.. I was attacked!)" PJ sobbed and tried to wipe his tears.

"What?! By who?" Tyrone put one hand on PJ's shoulder and lifted his chin with the other. One of his eyes was a deep shade of purple, and was closed tight.

"NIEEEEGNININENEEINNEIN EEHHH (By Pacifica, I didn't know what to do, so I huddled on the ground while her friends kicked and punched me repeatedly…)" He looked Tyrone in the eyes.. "HEEENENENGGNENEG (She called me a freak..)" Tyrone clenched his fists. PJ had such delicate, papery skin, and to think that someone would do something like this, it made him livid. Tyrone sighed and eventually pulled PJ into his arms, calming him as he usually did. PJ immediately quieted his sobbing, feeling much safer, almost as if he belonged eternally in that very spot.

"I swear if I see her, she's going to regret this greatly.." He broke the hug and stared intently into PJ's adorable moist eyes..

"NYEN neng neeniee Nyeeeing heengehh… (Why are you being so nice to me, when I look like such a monster..?)" PJ bit his lip..

"PJ don't say that! You are the cutest, sweetest, most amazing person I know!" He moved a strand of hair out of his face..

"N-Nyeng? (really..?) He leaned in closer to Tyrone, a slight hint of blush forming on his cheeks..

He chuckled. "here, let me show you.." Tyrone leaned in and gently and carefully kissed PJ's thin, white lips. PJ widened his eyes, as he had never experienced such a thing before, but eventually caught on and softly returned the kiss. After about a minute, Tyrone broke the kiss and wrapped his arms around his thin, frail body..

"I promise to keep you safe PJ.." He murmured quietly into his ear.. "As long as you're here, in my arms, you're safe..

"NYENG….. Neinnnnen.. (Tyrone I- I don't know what to say-) PJ commented quietly..

" I do.." He rubbed his cheek.. "I love you, PJ.."

"NENG.. Nyennengneee" (I-.. I love you to Tyrone..)" PJ blinked, and salty tears streamed down his face.
