Strawberry Boy // Tysh // ddlb ~ Discontinued ~

I get go over to Tyler's house the next day, neither one of us have class. He picks me up at 11 in the morning. Before I left I made sure that scrubbed my body all over with my strawberry scented body wash because then I'll smell nice. I'll smell like a strawberry!

"Ready, Josh?" Tyler asked me with a smile, making me smile as well.

"Yeah!"

We drive to his house, but when we stop at a red light... I see something I can't live without. One of those life-size, big teddy bears.

"Mmmm!" I point excitedly to the two men lugging the giant bear around.

"What Joshie?"

"I wan' tha bear!! Iz so BIG! Iz bigger than me!!"

Tyler smiles and puts his hand on my knee.

"Yes it is, Josh, yes it is."

...

When we get to his house he unbuckles himself and gets out of the car. He comes around and unbuckles me. I don't feel like walking so I whine and grab at him.

"Josh, you can walk, now come on."

"No. I don' wanna walk!" I cross my arms and pout. He gives in and lifts me up in his arms. I give him a winning grin.

He puts me down on the doorstep to open his front door. We go in and he helps me take my shoes off.

"Are you hungry for lunch yet?" Tyler asks me. I shake my head no and start to walk into his kitchen. His kitchen isn't that bad really. It has soft cream colored tiles with little designs in them. The cabinets on the walls are mahogany wood to match the cupboards on the floor. His fridge is one where the fridge is on top, and below a drawer for a freezer. He has a silver colored double stove. And all of the little things a kitchen has scattered on the counters. Like a coffee maker, a toaster, a microwave, he even has a microwave oven! This man is living in luxury! He has a dark brown floor to ceiling cupboard in the corner of the room, near the opening to the small dining room that leads into the living room.

I turn around to see that he's moved from the little shoe room, to right behind me.

"C-can I h-have so-ome more o' the gummies? D-do you have any more?" I look at him with my puppy eyes. He looks at me like I'm the cutest thing he's ever seen, which I'm probably not. He's walks over to the floor to ceiling cupboard and grabs two packages. He hands one to me and starts to open his. I try to open mine, but it wouldn't work. I tried all of the sides and corners but it wouldn't open. Tyler had already finished his and mine wasn't even open yet! That's not fair!

I screech and throw the package on the floor. I cross my arms and stop my feet. I look up to see that Tyler doesn't have a very amused face on, but he also seems to be holding back a smile.

"Iz not funny! You're bein' a meanie! I-I just wanted some gummies and you're makin' fun o' me!" I scream at him. Now he's not trying to smile, and looks very mad at me. I stick out my tongue at him and turn away. I feel hands grab me and lift me off of the floor. Not rough and cold hands, more like, soft and caring hands. I squeak and scream in Tyler's arms. He throws me over his shoulder and smacks my bum very hard. He walks to the living room with me like this, hot tears streaming down my face.

He sets me down on the couch lightly. He clears his throat, and I assume he wants me to look him in the eyes.

But I don't wanna.
