2020

Tyler had just finished of his IGOR tour, he was still doing festivals and shows here and there, but he was done, and now completely at home.

Jasper and Crystal annouced during the tour that they were expecting. I was proud for one of my many friends. Seeing Jasper acting like a kid all his life, and now him having a child is wild to me and everyone else.

Tyler, and I were supposed to be meeting with each other to discuss the event. Since Natty was going on being 7 months pregnant, we decided to throw them a babyshower.

Being that Tyler and I had the most time to ourselves because we didn't have partners, gave us free time to throw the babyshower. I wanted the theme to be differnet colors, most babyshowers have the regular blue and pink. Tyler and I both like colors that radiate so we wanted to go in a different direction.

"I think that we should put the purple and a little bit of pink together, it looks a little better like that." said Tyler

"Ehh, I really like the purple with the creame color, but I also do like the light pink and purple together."

"We could make the ballons creame and the cake vanilla to go with the creame part of the theme." said Tyler

I took a bite of my fries before responding, putting an image in my head of how the setup would look.

"What are you going to wear though?" said Tyler

"I haven't even picked out an oufit, but I'm sure I can find something."

"Don't stress about it, we do have time before it comes. I was thinking about wear my regular stuff." said Tyler

"You mean as in what you have on right now?"

"Yea, I mean who the fuck am I going to impress, Jasper and Natty both know by now I don't care for dress code. I am going to wear what I feel comfortable in." said Tyler

"I'll probably settle for just a white dress or something, I don't know like you said we have enough time before we actually settle that."

"So, we're basically done with the whole thing, we just have to get the cake made or whatever." said Tyler

"Did you enjoy the tour, I didn't get to see the full tour like usual, but I loved the one in Fresno."

"Dude that shit was fucking tight, seeing all those people in the crowd go crazy when certain songs came on, I worked so hard on IGOR. I needed it to be perfect and have the perfect review for myself." said Tyler

"Do they know about it?"

"I mean it's not that hard if they don't know about, they should really know about it now. I've been saying it for years, I guess they finally read the lyrics."

He sent a small smile towards me before laughing hard, causing a look from other people around us.

"They're fucking dumbasses, I've literally mentioned it to everyone on atleast some of the albums." said Tyler as he continued to laugh

Tyler pulled out his inhaler to catch his breath from almost choking on the joke that he found hilarious.

He slipped his inhaler back into his pocket slumping down into the resturant booth chair.

"Look at the old white couple over there," said Tyler

I look across the resturant searching for the pair he was talking about.

"No nigga in the corner, I don't wanna point becuase the lady might see me, yes look at them, so happy spending time together just eating ice cream." said Tyler

"Tyler,"

"Yes."

"What's up with you and Wyatt, have you talked to him about how you feel."

"I said everything I could say, and I even expressed myself on the album. It's hard to just let him go. I opened myself to try something different regardless of how it made everyone else felt, I let my gaurd down. I got a slap in the face." said Tyler

"Tyler you have to understand, he was okay with experimenting too, but he was also in a relationship. You can change the fact that he wasn't ready to fully accept that, all of his friends amke not be accepting as us for you."

"I don't want any bad blood, I just want to know why he did that, why did he leave me in the dark, ya know. Maybe it's my fault for trying to hard." said Tyler

"Well I'm sure they're are more people out there, you just have to be patient."

"I've moved on, but that shit did hurt. What about you any new love interest in your life?" said Tyler

"No, I'm just doing me, you know I'm always like this, if it happens it happens."

"Damn, we're getting old talking about relationships and shit, let go to the fair. I want to have the thought of me still being young."

Our meal was already finished we were sitting around engaging in more conversation. I put my card down to pay for the bill, and was met with Tyler's hand.

"No, move." said Tyler

"Just this once, please you always pay."

His 6'2 frame stood over my 5'6 frame, I was outnumbered in my head. I couldn't argue against it, his towering fear that he always held over me since we've met. Tyler smiled knowing he'd have me defeated, slipping his card into the pocket.

"Thank you, I still love you but you're not paying when I'm around."

I just want him to get treated his whole lifetime he always pays, whether he wants to or not, he wants to give off his kind gesture side.

The server brought his card back and we left the resturant moving into the afternoon's activities.
