(writing this as my computer updates so i can go back to downloading custom content for the sims and playing minecraft religiously 😌 just wanted everybody to know)

josh pulls up to tyler's house, grinning as the boy flies out the front door. he's dressed nicely: black slacks and a gray nike hoodie. thumper and penny are tucked under his arms, the brunette smiling as he slides into the passenger seat.

"hi."

"hi, bud. how was your day?" josh asks him, letting tyler buckle himself because the boy said he could do it on his own.

"it was okay. i worked with bren today, and he wouldn't stop talking about star wars for some reason. i've never seen star wars before, though," tyler rambles, quite clearly feeling big.

"what!?" josh gasps, backing out of the driveway and starting down the road. "no way, ty. we have to watch it together."

"i don't like movies like that!" tyler whines. "they just seem so... weird. and uninteresting. like harry potter? never seen it before and never want to."

"wow," josh tsks, shaking his head. "lord of the rings?"

"heeeck no!"

"wow," he repeats, although he shouldn't really be surprised. the only movies tyler ever watches are animated ones or real-life movies based off of animated ones. "i can't believe my boyfriend doesn't like star wars, though."

"i can't believe my boyfriend likes star wars," tyler teases. "and i thought brendon was a nerd."

"hey, i'm not a nerd," josh chuckles, reaching over and squishing the boy's cheeks.

"hm, okay. if you say sooo."

🍼🍯🍼

as the hostess escorts them to their table, tyler's fingers are intertwined with josh's. he's still feeling big, and it kind of sucks because his anxiety is getting the best of him. so badly does he want to just regress and be a little boy. no matter how bad he wants it, though, josh asked him to try his hardest to stay big for this. and he doesn't want to let his daddy down.

"your server will be right with you," the woman smiles, placing two menus before the boys.

"thank you," they say in unison, tyler eyeing the adult menu as if it were written in a foreign language.

"daddy?"

"hm?"

"can you order for me?"

josh smiles, reaching across the table. he takes tyler's hand and kisses the back of it. "of course, love. anything you want in particular?"

"uhhh.. i dunno. surprise me!"

"okay, i can do that," josh agrees, scanning over his menu while tyler looks at the pictures of food on his own.

"hi! my name is alex and i'll be your server today. could i start you off with something to drink?" a waiter greets them.

"i'll have an iced tea and he'll have chocolate milk," josh responds, gaining a little smile from tyler.

"okay, i'll be back with those."
