Chapter Twenty Four (Part 2)

After breakfast, Tyler brought Josh to the park so they could just hang out a bit under the tree close to the soccer field. They'd been there since eleven that morning and it was now nearing seven.

"We better head home. Your mom would want to see you." Tyler said, standing up and lending a hand for Josh to take.

"Yeah. My mom is probably worried anyways." He sighed dusting any grass or debris off of his jeans and beginning to walk with Tyler.

"Thanks for spending your day with me, Josh." Tyler said after a while of walking in silence.

"Ah, don't mention it. I love spending time with you, cutie." Josh smiled and grabbed Tyler's hand, intertwining their fingers and kissing the top of Tyler's hand while he was at it. Tyler only smiled and pecked Josh's cheek, continuing to walk to their house.

Not long after, they arrived and Tyler made sure he was the first to enter. He locked the door behind him so Josh couldn't come inside just yet.

"Is everything all set?" He whispered to Joan. She gave him a thumbs up from behind the couch and Tyler accepted, going back over to the door so he could let Josh in. As he made his way he saw some people duck under a table so they were more hidden. He smiled and opened the door.

"Hey, sorry. I just had to make sure your, um, present wasn't out in the open. That's all." Tyler said nervously.

"That's all, really?" Josh mocked. He knew something was going on but he couldn't put his finger on it. When he walked in side everything was quite and things were hanging from the ceiling, meanwhile streamers and balloons littered the floor. "What the hec-"

"SURPRISE!" Everyone said in unison, jumping out from their hiding place and making themselves known to Josh and Tyler who where standing in the middle of the living room. Josh jumped a little but, nonetheless, smiled at the deed.

"Oh, no way! Ty, you did this?" He exclaimed.

"Your mom, set it up. I just distracted you all day. " He shrugged. "Let's go have fun though!" Tyler shouted. Everyone around them yelled in good fun as music began to blast and everyone went to socialize. Tyler widely smiled and went to go help people but Josh stopped him before he went too far.

"Hey, I love you."

"I love you too." Josh couldn't help but smile and wrap Tyler in a big hug. He was so happy right then. No one had ever thrown a party for him before and he couldn't be anymore thankful. "Go have fun though, babe. I want you to enjoy your birthday."

"I definitely will. Thank you so much, Ty." Josh hugged him one last time before waving and go off to find his mom so he could thank her as well. He was searching for what seemed like twenty minutes but that didn't matter because she ended up finding him instead.

"Josh!" She said happily and brought her son in for a hug. She hadn't seen him all day after-all. "Happy birthday, Josh. I hope you're having a good one."

"I am! Mom, I can't believe you did this for me. We've never had a party before." He said. The smile still didn't fade. This was making out for a great birthday.

"I know we haven't but you shouldn't be entirely thanking me. Tyler had the idea, I just set up." Josh chuckled at the mention. His boyfriend was unbelievable.

"Alright, alright. Well, whoever did it did a great job. You have fun, okay?" Joan nodded and gave her son a kiss on the cheek before going off to talk to Jennifer.

Josh walked around for a bit, talking to people he recognized and giving his thanks for them attending. He saw Vic, Kellin, Brendon and Ryan all in a group hanging out and decided to join them since he couldn't find Tyler anywhere.
