I'll Take Care Of You Too (a Joshler story)

Chapter ◦••••19•••••

Hey guys! I think you're gonna like this chapter, at least I did! And I really hope so do you! ❤️❤️ I'm just really excited for you guys to read it and I hope to hear from you about what you think of it!

By the way, I've seen TOP live several times, I think 13 times now but I can't believe I still haven't heard Scaled and Icy live because of covid 🥲 they should be coming to Europe this summer and I got tickets to see them so let's hope it'll finally happen. I love this album so much & I just really wanna hear it live! I was gonna see them twice this summer but my Queen concert got rescheduled to the same day as the second day I'd be seeing them 😭 so I had to go for Queen this time. I always choose TOP over anyone but Queen might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience so I just have to! Have you seen TOP live during SAI or before that? I'd love to hear your stories!

Anyways! Hopefully you'll enjoy this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. Love you guys! Thank you so much for your support. I'd appreciate it so much if you could leave a vote ⭐️ to help me out! Thank you in advance. ❤️ let's dive into it! Enjoy ❤️

Tyler used his keys to unlock the Dun's house's front door. He went inside, took his jacket off, and went into the living room where Riley was sitting on the couch with Josh. He hadn't taken his car, he'd gotten there by bus, just in case. "Good morning", Tyler smiled. "Hi Tyler", Josh replied with a smile as he saw him. "Tyleeeeer!" Riley cheered as she threw her arms in the air. "Hi Twinkle!" He smiled as he picked her up to hug and kiss her. "I missed you!" Tyler said. "I missed you too!" Riley replied as she hugged him tightly.

Josh got up from the couch. "Good that you're here, I got some stuff to do", Josh said right as Kathy entered the room from the kitchen.

"Hi Mrs. Dun", Tyler greeted her. "Hi Tyler. Josh, I'm gonna run some errands so I'll be gone for a few hours, but I'll be back this afternoon", she said. "Alright, we'll see you then", Josh said and she nodded. She didn't really say anything else, nothing to Riley at least, before she left the house.

"Have you had breakfast?" Josh asked Tyler. "Uh yeah, you too?" He asked. "Yeah we did too. I'm gonna have to go through some stuff upstairs so will you two be okay down here?" Josh asked. "Absolutely", Tyler smiled. "Always!" Riley grinned, making them both laugh. "Alright, give daddy a kiss", Josh said and Riley pecked his lips. "Have fun, you two", Josh said before he went upstairs to his office.

Tyler always had fun with Riley, but it was different this weekend, as Tyler felt like Matthew could contact Josh at any moment. But he tried to ignore it as much as he could, to just pretend like everything was fine, everything was the way it usually was. He went to the kitchen and made Riley some fresh juice, then poured himself a glass too, and Tyler asked what Riley wanted to do today.

She chose to play with some dolls with Tyler, who was all for it, and they went to the back room where most of her toys were.

Tyler always wished Riley had more - or rather bigger - toys. Most of the stuff she had was quite small in size; no play kitchens, rocking horses, tiny outside cars to play with; none of that. It all had to fit in boxes so it could be stored away. Kathy didn't like having the stuff out, so she made sure to never get anything that wouldn't be something she could easily hide away.

Riley did have some dolls to play with, some puzzles to make, and things like that, but a lot of toys were for babies. Riley wasn't a baby anymore, but she still had these toys 'cause Kathy stopped buying her toys a few years ago. Tyler and Josh had continued doing so but never really got her a lot because neither of them had the guts to go against Kathy a lot. Tyler could lose Riley, and the job; Josh could get in a huge argument and might end up getting hurt.
