Josh spent most of his morning watching TV and trying to relax a bit, but around noon, he got up and started to get ready to head out into town.

He put on a random band T-shirt he had, specifically for Blink 182, and he wore it with a pair of ripped black jeans and a pair of Vans.

After getting dressed, he went and did a bunch of other stuff to get ready, and after about ten more minutes, he was done.

As he headed for the door, he quickly grabbed his phone and wallet and put them in his pants pocket, and he grabbed a random hoodie and slipped it over his head before adjusting it as he finally left his apartment.

Just like he had during past few days, he decided to walk there, although he didn't head straight to the bakery.

The plan that he had the other day was that since Tyler said he usually didn't get to eat on Sunday's at work, Josh was going to pick him up something so he could get his lunch break and they could maybe sit down and talk during it. It seemed like a good plan, but there was one major flaw.

He had no idea what Tyler liked to eat.

Because of this, Josh had to take a wild guess. He ended up settling on Taco Bell for no specific reason other than that he just had a small feeling that he would like it best, and he hoped he was right because he really didn't want to disappoint him.

While that was now settled, he still had no idea what the guy would want, so he took a wild guess and ended up just getting three chicken chalupas and a coke to drink. All three of them weren't for him though, he got one for him, one for himself, and an extra one which he figured either one of them would eat if they were still hungry, or he could give it to Jenna if she hadn't eaten either. After getting the bag with the food and after he paid, he then left and started heading for the bakery now.

About fifteen-ish minutes later, he finally got there, and as soon as he opened the door, all he could think was 'damn'.

Tyler was definitely right, the place was pretty packed. There was a short line and a few people sitting down at the tables which seemed to all be waiting on their order to be done.

Because of the rush, Josh didn't bother him just yet. Instead, he sat down at one of the vacant tables and waited for it to calm down a bit.

In about ten minutes, Tyler had handed off the customer's orders to them and got them to leave, so the place slowed down a bit for now. With that open opportunity, Josh stood up and started to go up to him.

As he did, Tyler looked up from the counter and realized he was there, and all he could do was silently look at Josh's outfit, specially the ripped jeans. He thought he looked pretty hot in them. Anyways, he smiled warmly to him despite how worn out from interacting with customers he already was. All he greeted him with was a small "hey," as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Hiii," Josh greeted back with a smile, and he asked just to check up on him, "you alright?"

Tyler seemed to take a couple seconds to think of an answer before shaking his head with a small chuckle under his breath, "I guess so, just exhausted, and it's only one o' clock."

He nodded at first to what he said before adding, "yeah, you weren't kidding when you said it gets busy."

"Yeah, no," Tyler responded with another small laugh, "it's ridiculous. Why do so many people crave desserts after Church and for their job meetings? I don't know, but they just do. That's literally what a majority of these people come in for." Before Josh could answer, he went ahead and asked, "and, what are you here for? Did you wanna order something again?"
