Chapter Three: Road Trip - for real this time

Without any struggle, Tyler loads all the supplies in the back of the barrel and shouts out to Ethan and Mark.

"Cmon you guys, hurry up! We're not getting ready for prom," he says, slamming the trunk as he rolls his eyes.

"Coming!" Ethan shouts back. Mark hops in the front seat, his keys jingling in his pocket. He sticks the keys in the ignition, and turns the key, turning on the van.

"Listen to that baby purr!" He exclaims.

"I love you, Barrel," He pats the dashboard and kisses it.

"Get a room you two," Ethan chuckles, opening the door and hopping in the car - Tyler does the same.

"No Ethan, YOU two get a room," He immediately regrets what he said, knowing he may have gone a little far. Both Ethan and Tyler go bright red.

"Too far, Mark," Ethan says through gritted teeth. Mark mouthes 'sorry', goes wide eyed and turns back around. Tyler looks at Ethan, longer than he intends to and Ethan notices.

"What?"

"O-Oh uh nothing," He smiles for a second and swallows his nervousness.

Silence stirs in the small space for what seems like forever. Until Mark interrupts it.

"Here we go! Road trip time!" He pulls out of the driveway slowly, knowing this is gonna be a long ride.

Ethan checks the time, 6:15 pm. 'Shit is it really that late? I haven't even had breakfast yet.' He thinks to himself. Ethan turns around searching through all the snacks. Bingo! Pretzels. He opens them carefully, or so he thought. Pretzels flew out of the bag and fell down like rain.

"Ethan! You're cleaning that up," he shakes his head.

"Let my mouth be your vacuum-" Tyler bursts out in laughter

"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID," Mark shouts.

"Oh shut up, Mark!" He reaches forward and slaps his arm. Mark pouts. Mark accepts this weird mood everyone is in and just rolls with it.

"Hey, how about we put on some tunes," Mark puts on 'Bitch Lasagna' and Ethan jams to the beat.

"You are a terrible dancer," Tyler laughs. Mark changes the song to 'Rude'

"Why you gotta be so ruuuuude?" Ethan sings.

"You have the voice of an angel," Tyler smirks, half joking.

An hour passes

"Here we are!" Mark stretches. "Well, technically we're just stopping here for a little break if anyone needs to use a rest room." He explains.

"Depends how long we want to be out for." Mark explains.

Ethan runs out of the car, "It's beautiful.. breathtaking,"

"It sure is," Tyler agrees, right behind him.

"Shit, don't scare me like that!" He exhales. He pulls out a blanket and sets it down.

"I've never been to the Hollywood sign," Ethan says, looking around.

"I've never been at night," Tyler joins him, admiring the sunset.

"I'll be right back." He pauses, "Mark? a word?"

"Uh, sure!" Mark follows him, away from Ethan.

Ethan is worried but waits patiently.

As soon as they are far away enough so that Ethan does not hear, Tyler speaks up, "I want to tell him." He blurts out.

"Then go for it, Tyler!"

"But I don't know how!" He says stumped.

"Just like.. I dunno." Mark thinks for a second, "Put a move on him, like put your arm around him or something - try see how it goes."

"Got it!" Tyler runs back to Ethan and Mark runs after him.

Tyler puts his arm around Ethan and looks over at Mark. He face palms.

"W-Wha?" Ethan half-chuckles, embarrassed.

Mark, surprised, puts 2 thumbs up and leaves them to have some space.

Tyler smiles sweetly and kisses Ethan's cheek. Ethan's mouth is agape.

'Is this really happening??' He thinks to himself. Tyler gently pushes Ethan's jaw back up, closing his mouth.

Tyler strokes Ethan's cheek, Ethan face revealed a small smile, with a hint of smirk. He scootches forward slightly and leans in. He rests his hand on Ethan's neck and pulls him in.. and kisses him (of course) for three sweet seconds. They both pull back, blushing like school girls.

"JUST CALL ME MARK 'LOVE DOCTOR' FISCHBACH!"

"Shut up, Mark!" They say in unison. They chuckle as Tyler pulls him in for a hug.

"I really like you, Tyler." Ethan holds his breath. Tyler's eyes widen at what Ethan said. He was not truly believing it until the words came out of his mouth.

Without even thinking, he replies, "I really like you too, Blue Boi." Tyler ruffles Ethan's hair and kisses his forehead.

They both lie down on the blanket and look up and the sky. Ethan snuggles up to Tyler, he responds by wrapping his arms around Ethan.

They both close their eyes, feeling like they're in a dream world.

"So... do you maybe... want to go out after this trip?"

Ethan grins.

A/N: Oh heck it's 12:36 am, good morning everyone! Sorry if this was bad, I'll try my best to make it the best it can be.
