some short fluff since I haven't posted on this in forever because I haven't been motivated to write in this book

Tyler wakes up just after 7:30 with Josh still cuddled up on his bare chest. He smiles and holds his boy close, brushing his fingers through Josh's bright yellow hair. Not wanting to move his baby and potentially wake him up, he leans over and grabs the remote. Turning the TV on, Tyler kisses Josh's forehead, making the lemon haired boy stir.

"I love you, Josh." Tyler whispers as he finds a channel.

Settling on a show, Tyler pulls Josh up more so they're almost face to face. The smaller boy stirs slightly from the movement. Shushing him, Tyler brushes his fingers through his hair to calm and quiet Josh. Minutes went by like this. Tyler finding comfort with his baby on top of him, brushing his own fingers through the little's fading yellow hair.

"Daddy..."

Tyler pulls his attention away from the TV and down at Josh that was rubbing the sleepiness away from his eyes.

"Good morning, sweet boy. How'd you sleep?"

Josh doesn't respond, but whines instead.

"I know, baby, I know. Get all of that sleepiness out." Tyler coos, patting Josh's sort of padded bum.

Josh wraps his arms around Tyler's neck and hugs him tightly, not letting go.

"Oh. I get a big hug. Thank you." Tyler groans as he sits up. He pulls Josh's arms away so he could breathe.

Tyler lifts Josh's chin up to look at him with his index finger.

"Good morning, Josh."

Josh smiles, yawning before speaking, "Mornin', Daddy."

"How'd you sleep?"

"Good. I laid on you da whole night!" Josh giggles, bouncing on the older man's lap.

Tyler chuckles, moving his hands to trail down the boy's back. He leans forward with his lips puckered, waiting for Josh to get the hint. Josh does, smiling as he kisses Tyler's back gently. Catching the lemon haired boy by surprise, Tyler moves his hands to the boy's shoulders. He wiggles his fingers on Josh's neck, causing the boy to shriek in happiness.

"Hey," Tyler warns with a smile. "People are still sleeping, baby."

Josh drops his jaw in betrayal. He gently smacks the elder's bare chest.

"Not fair." Josh mumbles with a frown.

"Yes, fair." Tyler teases, hugging Josh. "I love you, sweetie."

Josh smiles softly, kissing Tyler's nose, "M'love you more."

The two sit staring at each other with the TV in the background for a short while, every now and then Tyler kissing or tickling Josh.

"Okay, okay, little man. How about we get you in a bath and we can go shopping sometime soon? Would you like that?"

"Shower." Josh replies bluntly.

Tyler raises an eyebrow, confused.

"Huh?"

"Want a shower. No bath." Josh replies once more.

Tyler brushes some hair behind Josh's ear, giving his forehead a little kiss, "Why do you want to take a shower, baby boy?"

"Wanna be big for you. M'botherin you when m'little on your vacation...." Josh's eyes drift away from the brunet's, slightly filling with tears.

"Baby, no, look at me." Tyler softly commands, using his finger and thumb to make Josh look at him. "Never. You are never a bother, baby boy. I love you so much I wouldn't trade anything to only have big you. I've love you too much, my sweet boy. Way too much."

Josh's tears slip, quickly a few sobs slipping too.

"Honey, I will never feel that way towards you. Never ever in a million years, okay?"

Josh continues to softly cry, leaning forward onto Tyler's shoulder. The brunet cradles his small, lovable boy for a moment before he stops crying.

"Joshie, baby, want a bath?"

Josh nods in Tyler's shoulder, hugging the older man's neck tightly.

"Up you go." Tyler grunts as he stands up on the side of the bed with Josh in his arms.

The two walk into the bathroom, Josh clinging onto Tyler like he was his lifeline. Setting the boy down, the brunet starts to run the warm bath.

"We don't have bubbles, sweetheart, so this bath is gonna be boring." Tyler chuckles, reaching his hand back to tickle Josh's thigh.

"S'gonna be boring!" Josh repeats as he tries to get away from Tyler's hand.

A silent minute passes by as the two of them wait for the bath to finish.

"All set, honey, can you take off your clothes for me please?"

Josh quickly nods, taking off everything he had on and putting it in a pile on the floor. Tyler looks behind him and rolls his eyes.

"Get in, you goofball."

Josh giggles, getting into the tub with Tyler's assistance.

"I love you, honey."

"M'love you too."

Tyler washes the boy's body with some body wash they had brought, making little suds and bubbles on the Josh's chest.

"Daddy!" Josh squeals as Tyler takes some suds from the boy's chest and boops his nose.

"Yes?" Tyler smiles.

"M'soapy! Gots suds on m'nose!"

Tyler briefly kisses the little's temple, "I see that."

Josh plays and gets washed up by Tyler. Tyler feels like he's falling in love all over again. The little yellow haired boy leans forward to kiss Tyler on the cheek.

"I love you, daddy!"

Tyler sighs happily, "I love you too, my sweet boy."
