"Ya ready, babe?"

Months continued to pass by. No one's seen Theodore since the day Tyler asked Josh to move in with him. The couple were now going to celebrate their six month anniversary. Josh used to feel a little weird going out on dinners, because he was seventeen and Tyler was twenty one. But now, all he cared about was love.

"Ready as I'll ever be" Josh exhaled shakily as he entered the fluorescent pink Porsche which Tyler was already seated in. He spoke up once he had fastened his seatbelt "One question though. Why do you have a car in my favorite color?"

Tyler shrugged with a small laugh "I didn't pick the cars. My parents just brought them to the garages. The only car I ever bought to myself was a white BMW"

Tyler was taking Josh on a date in a restaurant called "Capital T". Tyler's father was the owner of the restaurant and Josh understood the restaurant's name when he found that out.

When they entered the restaurant, everybody inside shot them a look and a bodyguard took a place on Tyler's right; Josh was holding Tyler's left hand.

Everybody looked down at the sight of the bodyguard and kept their heads down.

Josh gulped. No ordinary people dined here. There was a lot of people escorted by bodyguards and others were just dressed so fancily that Josh felt like major fashion labels were the cheapest kind to these people. Still, when Tyler stepped foot inside, nobody dared to look away from their plates.

They took a seat at a gorgeous green table. Josh looked around to see nobody dared to look up still.

"Uhm" Josh cleared his throat, leaning over to Tyler who sat across the table from him and whispering "Does he really have to be standing here?"

Tyler looked over his shoulder to meet eyes with the large bodyguard "C'mon. Shoo!"

Tyler laughed as the man walked off in fear. The mad found a distanced place to stand where his eyes can still be on Tyler.

Josh frowned when dishes he's never heard of arrived at the table with wide-smiling waiters. He wanted to be a cook when he finishes school and it weirded him out to know there are dishes he doesn't know about. Even the ingredients were new.

They ate in silence. They were actually in silence for most of their dates. Josh didn't know what to ask Tyler because he didn't want to poke into a secret of some sort and Tyler never asked anything because he basically knew everything.

"Your majesty-" a woman with her two daughters approached Tyler. They were all dressed in sparkling dresses; Josh believed the little girls really didn't need make up at their young age.

"Not now, please" Tyler rose his hand "I'm sorry, but this is kind of personal"

The woman apologized repeatedly and nodded in understanding, even tears began to stream down her cheeks. She dragged her daughters away from the couple's table; the little girls looked sad as ever.

"Your majesty?" Josh rose an eyebrow, ignoring the reactions of the woman and her daughters.

"Don't ask"

Josh rolled his eyes.

Soon enough, they finished their dinner. This was the part of the date where they'd stare at each other and talk about something or where they'd stare at each other in silence and quickly go home to have sex.

Josh had time to think of questions.

He had one.

"So?" Josh let his hands fall to his lap "What's with the fancy clothes?"
