(recommend reading BOTH parts/chapters of the halloween party to know what some characters are talking about.)

Josh: So, after the Halloween party Tyler and I went trick or treating! It was so much fun! The parents gave us lots of candy. [frowns] They did seem scared about it the whole time though. I wonder why.

Tyler: [silent, murderous glare at camera]

Josh: [grins, shrugs] Oh well! Guess we'll never know!

"Ryan took a few days off work."

Everyone frowns. They look at each other to make sure they all heard Pete right.

"Ryan?" Dallon asks. "Taking off work?"

Pete nods.

"This is as bad as Dallon actually working!" Ashley exclaims.

Dallon glares at her and sticks his tongue out which Ashley replies with her middle finger. Josh giggles at the two of them and Pete rolls his eyes.

"Guys, it will be fine! He's fine! Just needs a little mental break."

Ashley nods, "of course. After somebody invited trouble to his damn party!"

"I DIDN'T KNOW BRENDON WOU-!"

Dallon steps between his boss and coworker. He holds his hands up to prevent the shorter people from jumping at each other's throats. He shakes his head at the pair as the camera zooms in. The crew captures his frustration.

"Can we not have a cat fight today? Ryan isn't here to be my body shield," Dallon says.

Pete and Ashley roll their eyes, but nod in agreement. The taller man smiles at them and pats their shoulders. He walks to the front and flips the open sign.

Just as a loud scream erupts from behind him.

Dallon jumps and spins around, "Ashley! What's wrong?!"

Ashley frowns, "that wasn't me. That was Pete."

Their boss runs out of the back room while tugging his jacket on and holding up his phone. Josh manages to duck right before one of Pete's hands slaps him in the face. Ashley stares in wonder at her frantic boss while Dallon just looks confused.

"Pete! What's going on?!" Dallon asks.

Pete runs to the front door, "family emergency! Let's just say, Mammy got stuck in the dog door again!"

All of the staff winces.

Pete nods, "Exactly. I need to go help her out. Right now!"

"But Ryan isn't here!" Ashley says, "who is going to be in charge?"

Everyone frowns at that. According to Pete, Ryan was second in charge for whenever Pete is absent. They never had Ryan absent the same day, so it always landed on the younger employee.

Until today.

Pete groans, "crap, you're right."

Everyone stares at Pete and wait anxiously as their boss tries to make up his mind. Ashley bites her hair nervously while Josh chews on his lip and Dallon bites his nails.

They were lost children without Ryan.

Pete groans, "uh, Josh! Josh is in charge! I have to go! I AM COMING MAMMY!"

The shop is quiet after Pete leaves. Ashley and Dallon stare at Josh while he just stares back. All of them too shock for words.

—

Dallon: Oh my God, we're screwed.

Ashley: I love Josh. He is a ray of sunshine! So adorable! Nicest guy on the planet. [sighs, shakes head] Yup, we're screwed.

Josh: [whines, buries face in hands] I don't want to be in charge! [slides down in seat] No, no, no!

—

Josh shakes his head as Ashley and Dallon crowd him, "nope! Nope!"

Ashley gently shushes him, "Josh, you'll be fine. You can handle this!"

"He can't even check out a ten year old without crying because they look at him wrong," Dallon mumbles.

Ashley just smacks his stomach when Josh whines more at the comment. She turns back her coworker and squeezes his hand gently. She smiles at him.

"You can do this! Show Pete and Ryan that you are perfect for third in charge!"

"But I don't want to be third in charge! I want to be none in charge!"

Ashley and Dallon groan.

—

Ashley: Okay, Dallon and I could take over, but Dallon is too lazy and snappy to be in charge and I haven't been here long enough to be in charge. [groans, throws head back] Why did you have to get stuck in the dog door again Mammy?!

Dallon: We can totally do this without Ryan! [frowns, throws head back, groans] Why did Jon have to break Ryan's heart?!

—

Josh bites his nail as he keeps an eye on the customers. This is his third round of walking around the shop to make sure the customers were enjoying their time like Pete usually does. Dallon sighs as he watches him.

"Josh! You don't need to keep walking around!"

Josh looks at him, "but Pete does it!"

"Yet, it isn't necessary!"

"I need to go a good job! I can't let Ryan and Pete down! Especially Ryan! He's nice to me!"

Dallon groans and slams his head on the counter. Ashley rubs his back, an amused smirk on her face.

"Maybe I should take charge," he mumbles, but she shakes her head.

"Pete told me about the fire incident."

—

Dallon: Okay, so Pete left me in charge a few years ago before Ryan started working with us. ...I may or may not have set the kitchen on fire because I saw something on YouTube.

—

Dallon glares, "they said to not try it at home! They didn't say anything about work!"

"I think that applies to work as well dingus."

Josh snaps his fingers in front of Ashley and Dallon. He is glaring at the pair, which is a rare sight for not only the camera crew but the employees as well.

"Guys! I need you to work! I can't be a bad temporary boss by letting you slack!" Josh snaps.

The pair nod, still taken back by Josh's raised voice. The younger man gives them another glare and heads back on the floor. He ignores their stares as he gathers dirty dishes.

Dallon looks up at Ashley, "call Tyler."

—

Tyler: [glares at camera, holds up a Chipotle bag and soda]

—

Josh smiles for the first time since Pete put him in charge when Tyler walks in.

"Ty!" Josh says. He runs out from behind the counter and straight to his boyfriend. He wraps his arms around the man's neck while Tyler wraps his arms around his waist.

The pair hold onto each other tightly. Not letting each other go for a while.

The camera zooms in on Tyler's face and capture the fond smile on his face before he buries his face in his boyfriend's curls. Josh giggles at the movement.

"What are you doing here?" Josh asks.

Tyler pulls back and holds up the bag of food, nods to the back room.

"I don't know if I can take a break. Pete put me in char-."

"You're fine Josh!" Dallon says, "Ashley and I can take care of the floor!"

Josh frowns, "but the fire inciden-!"

"Oh my god, I won't start another fire! Just go eat with your scary boyfriend!"

—

Dallon: [mumbles] You start one fire and EVERYONE is on your a**!

—

Josh takes a sip of his drink to help wash down his food. He grins at his Tyler when he notices him staring.

"I like their guacamole," Josh comments, "probably the best guacamole I have ever had."

Tyler nods fondly and continues to stare at his boyfriend. As the crew records him, they can see just how in love Tyler is with Josh. From the loving look in his eyes to the tiny smile to his fingers intertwined with Josh's.

When they turn their camera to Josh, crew sees the same fond look on his face. Except, Josh's look was more open while Tyler's was reserved. It represented their relationship dynamic perfectly.

Tyler suddenly pulls the bowl back from Josh, making him frown. He then leans across the table and presses his lips against Josh's. His boyfriend eagerly kisses back and giggles.

Josh breaks the kiss and mumbles, "my breath probably tastes like guac, I'm sorry."

Tyler shakes his head and pecks his lips. He cups Josh's face and rubs his cheek tenderly with his thumb. The boy leans into his touch.

"I love you Josh Dun," he whispers.

One of the crew members chokes in the back, but Tyler and Josh ignore that. Someone is probably helping him.

"I love you too," Josh whispers, "I'm getting stressed again."

Tyler nods, "I know. You need to breathe."

"I'm breathing!"

"You know what I mean. Deep breaths. Have you done your counting exercise?"

Josh shakes his head.

"Josh..."

"I know! I know..."

Tyler just shakes his head fondly and scoots his chair over so he is touching shoulders with his boyfriend. He grabs his hand and squeezes it gently.

"We'll do it together."

—

Josh: [smiles brightly] Tyler always makes everything better. Isn't he the sweetest?

Tyler: [glares at camera]

—

Ryan furrows his eyebrows when finds Dallon and one of the camera men waiting outside his apartment.

"Dallon? What are you doing here? How did you even get into the campus apartment without security stopping you?" Ryan asks. "Also, I don't think they're allowed to film here after last time."

"We got permission," the camera man says. Ryan groans and shakes his head.

"Lovely. Okay, what are you doing here Dallon?"

Dallon frowns, "what? I can't see how my favorite coworker is feeling? If he's okay? I mean, Jon basically broke your heart."

Ryan glares, "and I was just now forgetting about the situation."

"Sorry."

He moves out of the doorway and lets Dallon and the camera man walk inside. He shuts the door behind them and scoots around the men to get to his mini fridge. He opens the door and looks inside at what drinks he has left.

"I have Pepsi, water, Co-!"

"Brendon kissed me after the party!"

Ryan freezes. He turns his head back to Dallon, his eyes wide with surprise and his mouth gaping.

"Oh."

PSA: josh and tyler are the best couple.
