*thirty four*

"But you yelled at Brendon... I didn't want him to get in trouble..." Tyler mumbles against his boyfriend's warm skin. He was laying on Josh's bare chest after dinner at eight at night, just to ease both of their minds.

"You're my little baby, I've got to protect you." Josh smiles in the dark of their room, gently rubbing Tyler's back under his shirt. The brunet smiles into Josh's chest, making the older boy chuckle.

"I love you." Tyler murmurs.

"Oh, I love my baby more."

Tyler giggles, kicking his legs softly, his little side shining through.

"My baby." Josh coos, sitting up while holding Tyler against his chest. He leans over to his nightstand and turns on a green light that Tyler insisted on getting. It made the room and ceiling have green dots and "stars" all over.

"Not baby." Tyler whispers against warm skin.

"You're not my little itty bitty baby?" Josh asks in fake shock. His smile not being able to be hidden as some moonlight shines through.

Tyler laughs quietly, shaking his head but keeping his face out of sight. Josh takes his hand and gently lifts up the younger boy's head up so their eyes meet.

"You're my little baby."

Tyler's brown eyes grow wide. A small, closed mouth smile appears. A light pink spreading across his cheeks as Josh kisses his forehead.

"I love you, Ty." The faded red hair boy says as he reaches his phone. He opens Feit Electric and turns on his light, making the small boy whine and hide. "Do you wanna watch some TV, hun? Daddy is gonna go downstairs and get a special treat for us, alright?"

Tyler smiles and nods, his brown locks bouncing up and down. Josh pats his head and un-clings Tyler from his side and sets the boy back down on the bed. Putting on one of Tyler's favorite little shows and leaves the room.

Josh walks down the stairs and to the kitchen. He gets to the fridge and opens the freezer, getting out a tub of ice cream. He also gets out some fudge to drizzle on the final product.

Placing everything back in their respectful places, Josh gets the bowl and two spoons and starts to make his way to the stairs. Humming a fairly quiet tune, Josh enters his room again and sees the brunet snuggled up in bed with his stuffed cockatiel. The older boy smiles at the sight in front of him right before Tyler catches a glance at him.

The boy gasps and points to the cold bowl in Josh's hands. He hugs the bird tightly and makes a single grabby hand to the ice cream.

"I'm coming, baby, I'm coming." Josh fake groans, playfully trudging over to the bed.

Tyler bounces up to try and get the bowl, but Josh moves it out of his reach at the last possible second.

"No, no, no, little guy. Give me half a heartbeat." Josh says as he makes his spot on the bed comfy. He sits down and brings the covers over his legs, Tyler speedily doing the same thing as he snuggles into the older boy's side.

"Yummy!" Tyler giggles. Josh gives him a spoon and instructs him to be careful, they were on their bed after all.

Tyler slowly gets a spoonful of ice cream and puts it in his mouth. A smile on his face, Josh starts to eat too. In no time, Tyler gets some fudge on his nose and the corners of his mouth.

"You are such a little piggy!" The older boy laughs as he ruffles Tyler's hair. Josh leans over to his lower shelf of his nightstand and grabs some tissues to clean up the little boy's face.

Tyler tried his best to wiggle away, but of course Josh is able to wipe the excess fudge off of his mouth and nose as the boy whines.

"Now, now, sweetheart, you don't need to whine. Now you can finish eating the ice cream, baby."

Tyler nods, diving back into their ice cream. They continue eating and watching the television, every now and then Tyler babbling to his stuffed animal.

"Dada?" Tyler asks after licking the remains of the fudge and ice cream from out of the bowl.

"Yeah, little one?" Josh replies.

"Why you love me?" The brunet asks innocently, patting his stuffed animal on the head.

Josh's heart breaks a little bit while his mind wonders why his favorite person in the whole world would ask why.

"Why do I love you?"

Tyler nods, looking up at him before leaning on the older boy's side.

"Well... hm, where do I even start?" Josh says, hugging his boy closer, "Well, first off, you are so beautiful. Your gorgeous brown eyes, along with that brown hair of yours. And your lovely smile too." He smiles, seeing Tyler was blushing from all of the compliments already.

"More?" The boy asks, wanting more attention.

"Oh, yes, of course. You and your musical side, along with your regular voice and your singing voice, both are amazing. I love that your kind, funny, sweet, handsome, and caring. I love your little side too, sweetpea, I love all of you."

Josh leans down and nuzzles his nose into the fluffy brown hair below him. Hearing the small boy giggle below him, Josh soon copies as he tickles Tyler.

"Noo!!" Tyler screeches, his lungs hurting as he runs out of breath quickly.

"Yes!"

Minutes pass by, and the tickling slowly comes to a stop. Josh hoisted Tyler up to hit on his lap. The older boy slowly rocks him from side to side, attempting to relax the little now.

"Shh, baby, lets relax now." Josh whispers into Tyler's ear, tracing little shapes into the brunet's back.

"Love you, Dada." Tyler mumbles, keeping his focus on the show on the television.

A grin spreads across Josh's face, his heart feeling like it was going to burst.

"I love you more, my precious baby."
