Aidan's POV

"I'm a monster. I've killed innocent things. People can die around me. I'm one of the many mistakes that takes place on this earth." Josh states. This is different from his normal 'I'm a monster' rants. His voice is usually cracked, his face deadly pale, and he always has a small sort of pant on the end of his words. He looks close to broken.

He usually lists all the things wrong with him, like how his fiance would have thought he was a monster. How his parents would have never accepted him if he told the truth. How he has to run from his sister. How he isn't human. But not tonight. No, it's different tonight.

His voice isn't cracked. He's just in tears. He doesn't pant at the end of his words, he just can't breath at all through his sobs.

We're, that being only Josh and I,are sitting in the living room on the couch. He came home and just broke down. He didn't even make it to the couch or to where Sally would be there smiling in his direction. No, he just opened the door and collapsed onto the wood floor and just wouldn't get up. He just lay there and cried until I had to pick him up and carry him to the couch.

For a werewolf, Josh is pretty light. I mean that could of course just be my vampire strength talking. But I truly had no trouble getting him to the couch and placing him down. When I first sat him down he just sat there and cried for a minute before he curled up into a little ball far away from me.

I'm worried about him. Maybe he's finally snapped. What if tonight I go out and come home to find him dead along with Sally? Josh is fragile. He's easy to break, to scare, to...torment. That's all this curse has ever done to him is torment him. He's only had two years to adjust. I've had two-hundred years. Sally's only had six months. I've had seven-thousand three hundred days to deal with this, he's had seven-hundred thirty days to deal.

He says he's a monster but he's not. He needs to know that he isn't.

"Josh, come here." I say as softly as possible. He just sobs and shakes his head. Plan B: I go to him. I got close enough to him to pull his hands away from his face. "Josh, you are not a monster. You're some amazing, quirky guy who got the short end of the stick, who peole love. The only problem with you is that you can't see that. You're an amazing nurse, a great person, and if I hear you call yourself a monster one more time, I just might hit you." By the end of my little speech, his sobs had softened up to little sniffles and his big brown doe eyes looking back at me with pure innocence.

"Really?" His voice is small and timid but contains a drop of hope that I say yes. "Yes, Josh" I say this with a smile, and not one of those 'I'm about to bed you' kind of smile but a smile that show reassurances and gives total trust.

A small smile graces his face, and lights the whole room. This must be how Danny felt about Sally. "Sorry for acting like such a girl. It's just so hard sometimes." Josh is now almost him self again. He scoots closer to me and slowly leans down and puts his head on my shoulder. With a squeak of surprise from Josh, I picked him up and sat him on my lap as we stare at the fireplace in front of us. I can see he is as red as a tomato. But it's cute. I can slowly feel his eyelids close and I rest a kiss on the top of his head. I can tell he felt it because his heart rate sped up for a second, but then regulated.

"Oh, for the love of God. Would you two just kiss already?" I turn my head slightly enough to see Sally sitting on the stairs. I grin at her and turn back to see Josh looking at me wide-eyed and his lips slightly parted. I slowly kiss him on the lips and I feel him kiss back. We pull back and there again resting on Josh's cheeks is that adorable rosey blush.

I lean in and whisper the words "Work time". I grin and Josh just looked confused before blushing even harder when he realizes I'm carrying him up the stairs, bridal style, right past a whistling Sally.

Josh isn't a monster. He's a savior. He's the reason I can't eat people, because they need a chance to find someone just like him and create their own twisted love story of life.

Holy crap, these one shots are just popping out.
