(Josh POV)
It's been about two months since Tyler's last breakdown. I think about it every single day. It reminds me of how badly this boy needs me. It also reminds me how badly I need him.
Tyler is my bestfriend. He is my boyfriend. He is my soulmate. I never thought that I would ever be inlove with the boy I was partners with in highschool, or the boy who went missing. I never thought it would ever be Tyler Joseph.
I wanted to take Tyler out for a date again. I wanted to show him, once again, how much he means to me. Tyler is still sleeping, and I don't want to wake him. Even though it's almost 12:00pm. I go around cleaning up the apartment a bit. I find Tyler's old notebooks, along with his ukulele and can't help but smile. Ty is working on something. He definitely is. I can only imagine.
I hear Tyler yawn, and run into the bedroom an jump on the bed, tackling Tyler.
"Hey sleepy head, you slept late." I lean down an kiss him.
"Yeah well, it's easy to stay asleep when I have a dream about you."
He puts his arms around my neck and kisses me.
Tyler had a dream of me, he's been having those lately. Which is extremely good. I still worry, of course. But it's reassuring, I feel as if I am with him even in his head.
I smile and stare at him. "Ty get ready, were going out today. Time for another surprise."
He gives me a huge grin, and jumps out of bed faster than I ever seen. He runs into the bathroom, and then has a realization that he has no idea what he should do; pack, wear nice clothes, he has no idea. He runs back out an he's in his boxers, standing in the hallway.
"Babe what do I get ready for?" He waves his arms in the air, which makes me laugh because hes so small an he just looks ridiculous.
"Nothing really, just go put clothes on." I laugh an fall back on the bed and stare at the ceiling.
God I love this boy.

I'm wearing a black hoodie, black skinny jeans, vans and a snapback. Tyler is wearing black skinny jeans, vans, and of course a hoodie he stole from me. We get in the car, and he can't help but smile with joy. He's like a little kid again. Actually, he's always like that.
I'm taking Tyler to Cleveland again. I have a plan for this whole night, and I hope it is as special for Tyler as it is for me. I love Tyler with all my heart, and I just want him to feel loved. I love taking him out for surprises.
We're on the highway, and I have no idea how Tyler doesn't realize were going back to Cleveland. I've seen like 4 signs already, or maybe he's just pretending he hasn't seen them. We start approaching taller buildings, and Tyler looks up from his shoes. And sees the tall buildings that I know for sure he recognizes.
"We're back in Cleveland?." He's looking at me shocked and in total joy.
"Yes Ty, we are back in Cleveland, for your surprise." I smile at him and he leans over and kisses me. "You're the best boyfriend ever Jishwa. Can you tell me where we're going though?." I shake my head; he's not getting any hints. He didn't last time, and he isn't getting any thing time. He will be surprised for sure. I know it.
After a half hour, I pull the car over to a curb. We get out, an Tyler is still so confused. Just how I want it though. So far, everything is going perfectly. We walk along the sidewalk, going past a park that's in the center of Cleveland. We stop for a second, and Tyler takes out his phone.
"Take a picture with me Jishwa." He gives me the look he always gives me when he wants something. I can never say no to this boy. I look at the camera making a kissing face, and he turns towards me with a huge smile. He takes the picture, and asks for a second one. Once again, I can't say no. I smile at the camera, and he squints his eyes and makes a kissing face at the camera. He smiles at me and calls me the best. Only over two pictures.
We walk for awhile more, and stop to sit on a bench that looks over the water. We sit down, an I put my arm around Tyler. He puts his head on my shoulder and I kiss the top of his head. I look out over the water, watching boats go by.
"Tyler?." He thinks something is wrong and looks up at me.
"Yes Josh? What's wrong?." I stop him before he thinks anything is his fault.
"No nothing love, I just need to say something." He looks confused, but he calms down.
"Oh okay. What is it?." I take a deep breathe, and stand up. He's even more confused, but looks up at me.
"Tyler, this past year has been nothing but ups and downs. It has been a rollercoaster. It has been a very emotional road for the both of us." I start walking side to side, getting more anxious by the second. "Here I am, standing before you. Apologizing once again, for not being your friend back in highschool. I needed to be there, I needed to be there for you. You needed me more than ever. And honestly, I probably needed you."
He still looks concerned. I lean forward and grab his hand. He is still very much confused.
"When I heard you were missing last year, something in me told me to find you. And I am so, so very happy that I did. Because I am here with you. We have been through alot. We have done so much. I sold everything for you, you left everything behind. We have an apartment. We are together. We are always together and I love every single millisecond I have with you. You are my light, Tyler Joseph. You are my everything. You are what I need. You are my bestfriend, my soulmate, you are every part of me. I have never felt this feeling in my entire life, and I know I never will. Because Tyler, the truth is, I want it to be you. Forever. I want it to be you in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. I NEED it to be you."
By now, Tyler has tears in his eyes and he is smiling. He stands up and takes both of my hands and squeezes them.
"I need it to be you, forever. I need it to be you every single day for the rest of my life. You are the most precious, most perfect thing on this entire planet, and it is a huge honor to be yours. I am standing here before you, with the most important sentence of my entire life."
Tyler lets go of one of my hands and covers his mouth. He's in tears.
"Hear me, Tyler Robert Joseph. I promise to love you in your darkest days, I promise to love you no matter what. I want it to be you forever. I want you, Tyler Joseph. Please do me the honors of becoming mine, for the rest of our lives, for the rest of eternity?.
Tyler is crying, cover his face. He gives me the biggest smile I have ever seen on his face.
"Hear me, Joshua William Dun. I love you more than the world itself. I would most definitely love to be yours for the rest of our lives. For the rest of eternity."
