"But I'll keep your number saved."
Why autumn just what is this????
Innocence can be truly a beautiful thing but also a curse at the same time.

Tyler Joseph was basically a walking cliché. Mainly because he is what people would think of when they hear the word 'innocent'.
"Joseph! Put the pink rhododendrons in the corner," his boss, Marcus, spoke.
Without saying a single word, the boy dragged the heavy potted plant to the designated corner and began watering it. Minutes later, a little bell sounded throughout the building cueing that someone had entered.
"Welcome to Roses' may I help you?" Tyler said saying it like every time before.
"Yes, I just need a simple bouquet for my daughter," an elderly woman said as she crutched onto her cane.
"What kind of flowers?"
"Maybe just something simple," she said, her voice coming out hoarse.
"Can I get you something to drink?" Tyler said becoming worried for the woman.
"No, sweetie, I'll be okay."
Tyler then began to pick flowers which were known as the basics to him, which just so happen to be some of his personal favorites. Once the boy was finished he handed the bouquet to the lady and went to go ring it up.
"That'll be twenty dollars and five cents," the fragile boy said as the woman began rummaging through her purse.
Then, the bell rang once again signaling someone else is in the shop as well but he kept his focus on the woman.
"I don't have enough, will fifteen be enough for just a few?" The old woman said embarrassed.
"Don't worry about it, its on me," Tyler said as he reached into his pocket and put the money in the cash register.
"Bless you, your one of the sweetest people I've came across in a long time," the woman said as she hobbled out of the store.
Tyler then scanned the room for the one that came in. The person that came in was a man with bright yellow hair which, Tyler, soon began thinking of ways on how to style it.
"Welcome to roses' may I help you?" Tyler said looking at the mans back waiting for a response.
"Actually you can," the man said turning around facing the boy, which immediately made Tyler nervous.
"W-With wh-what?" The boy said trying to sound confident.
"Getting your number."
Tyler barely understood the concept of flirting he had a hard time figuring out if it was someone being nice, or someone flirting.
"For what?" The smaller boy said tilting his head to the side slightly.
"To talk to you," the man said eyeing Tyler.
"But your already talking to me though."
"To talk to you outside of the shop."
"Oh," Tyler said debating if he should, but, he soon decided to,"hold on."
The boy ran into the back room finding a pen and paper and then began writing his number down.
"Here you go," Tyler said as he walked out to the front only to find the man looking at the rhododendrons he had set out previously.
"Thanks, cutie, I'm Josh."
"Tyler," he said as he reached his hand out as a smile tugged at his lips.
Josh only laughed and shook the innocent boys hand.

Unknown number: hey
Tyler: who's this?
Unknown number: Josh.
Tyler: oh!
Unknown number name changed to Josh.
Josh: so, we should meet up sometime.
Tyler: can I pick the place?
Josh: of course.
Tyler: yay!!
Josh: I wanna get to know you.
Tyler: let's meet up tonight!
Josh: you sure do use a lot of exclamation points.
Tyler: things are just exciting to me!
Josh: fair enough, get ready and come by my place at eight, okay?
Tyler: okay!
Josh soon gave Tyler his address and the boy began getting ready.

"Mel, it's not a date, now help me pick what I should wear!" Tyler said to his best friend, Melanie.
"Wear your favorite skirt."
"That's for special occasions only though."
"Is this guy cute?"
"Very."
"Then, this is a special occasion!" Melanie said as she pulled out the velvet black skirt and a baby blue T-shirt to go with it,"how about your flower crown?"
"fine," Tyler said as he pulled out his favorite multicolored one.
The boy began removing his clothes and changing into the items they had picked out.
"You look adorable," Melanie said as she complemented her best friend,"now go get him, tiger!"

Tyler knocked quickly onto Josh's door and waited for Josh to answer.
"Hey-," Josh began as he opened the door to reveal a stunning Tyler Joseph.
"Are you gonna say anything besides that?"
"C-Can I do something?"
"Of course!"
With that, Josh leaned in and grabbed the back of Tyler's neck pulling him in and kissing his soft, pink lips.
This is long over due but I cut it short because I wanted to put something out. Sorry.
