things were getting back to normal in the joseph-dun home. josh and tyler were no longer fighting, oliver had been happier, and they even started having family snuggle time every day. of course, it was oliver's favorite part of the day.

so all was normal.

except, tyler was very quiet, unusually quiet. not his normal, shy self, but almost silent.

"what's on your mind, baby?" josh asked as they crawled into bed.

tyler just shrugged. "a-am i o-ok in like... y-you know... bed?" he asked quietly, looking down nervously.

josh sighed and wrapped his arms around his husband. he regretted ever saying anything about not being able to go for very long without sex in the first place.

"you're perfect, baby. it's adorable how you always ask if you can take my shirt off or not. just, know that we're husbands and you can take my shirt off without asking," josh said, unable to keep from grinning.

"i'd rather just ask."

josh smiled and nodded, kissing tylers temple. "if that makes you more comfortable, baby."

"w-would you like it more if i wasn't so loud?"

josh furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head. "baby you rarely even say anything when we're doing it..."

"oh. w-would you like it better if i did?"

"sex isn't just about one of us, baby."

tyler just shrugged, not really sure of what to say.

"i just want you to do what feels right for you, because whatever's natural is most likely going to be best. how about we both say one thing we like doing in bed?"

tyler nodded his head.

"1... 2... 3..."

"snuggling."

"collarbone sucking."

josh's face went dark red. he should have known tyler was too innocent to know what he really meant.

"i-i meant like... w-while we're having sex, baby..."

"oh. then kissing."

"that's it?"

"and holding hands."

josh sighed and giggled, hugging his husband tightly. "i love you, tyjo."
