tyler was rocking back and forth on the bed nervously. today was the first time he'd be without his husband by his side all day.

joshua had gotten a major promotion. he was CEO of a big company, and tyler was very happy for him. they were about to have an income equal to three people working. they could finally move out of their apartment and into a house. they could finally take vacations when they pleased. and they were finally eligible to adopt a child.

though they agreed to wait a few years to adopt so they could just enjoy one another.

"hey, baby, you'll be ok," josh said, kissing the top of his husband's head as he tied his tie. "it's only eight hours. i'll call you during lunch, ok? you'll be all i think about, i promise you that."

tyler took a shaky breath and nodded, reaching up and hugging his husband tightly, sniffling.

"awww, baby, please don't cry. you'll be alright," josh said, his heart breaking that his husband was so nervous about being without him.

josh pulled away, gently holding his husband's face and looking into his eyes. "look at me, baby. you're going to be perfectly fine. go do something to distract you, ok?"

tyler nodded. "i-i'll go grocery shopping."

josh smiled and nodded. "perfect. i'll miss not getting to go with you and push you around in the cart, though."

tyler couldn't help but giggle, the adorable laugh melting josh's heart.

"i love you, baby. we can snuggle as soon as i come home," josh promised.

tyler grinned and nodded, falling back onto the bed and pulling josh on top of him. josh giggled and kissed his husband's lips as he held himself over him with his elbows, tyler's legs wrapped around his waist.

"you're the cutest stay-at-home husband out there," josh grinned.

tyler blushed and smiled shyly. "you're the cutest husband in general."

"nooo. i don't wanna argue with you before i go to work, handsome," josh grinned, kissing his husband's forehead. "i love you, baby. i gotta go so i won't be late."

tyler's smile fell and he nodded sadly. "o-ok. i-i love you too."

josh smiled sadly, honestly nervous himself about not having his husband with him, but he couldn't show that to tyler.

"i'll see you around 6, ok?"

"o-ok. b-bye."

"bye, baby. i like the tie you picked out," josh smiled, his husband having insisted he was the one to pick out which tie he wore. tyler selected a pastel pink one, it complimenting his husband's hair beautifully.

tyler blushed and smiled shyly, getting up and running to his husband and hugging him tightly from behind.

josh smiled and turned around, hugging tyler back tightly. "love you, tyjo."

"i told you you can't call me that! i'm tyler dun now!"

josh giggled and rolled his eyes playfully. "ohhh, fine. i love you, tyjo-dun."

tyler grinned and hugged his husband tighter. "love you too, joshua."

josh then headed to work, turning up his music as loud as possible in the car so he couldn't be saddened by the though of leaving his husband alone.

and so tyler got dressed, doing the same with his music for the same reason, going downstairs to his car and driving to target.

he got all josh's favorite foods as well as his own, purchasing everything and checking out with the same cashier that checked the couple out when they were engaged.
