[Sorry, but I had previously deleted it for being awful, but people want it back up so here we go]

Craig's P.O.V.

I shifted in the cushioned seat of the small restaurant booth, waiting for Tyler to come back. I nervously played with my fingers, looking down. He had every right to ditch me, this was only our first date. That thought constantly played through my mind, making me feel like an idiot. Yes, I know he was just getting the milkshakes, but.. God, I'm just stupid.. These thoughts are absurd.. I just can't help but to think that he'd leave me. How could he even love me in the first place? I'm-

I looked up, the terrible thoughts disappeared out of my mind as my eyes found Tyler. I took in his appearance as he sat down across from me, an adorable smile gracing his features. He looked incredibly hot in a flannel with his hair slicked back, it just made me melt in my seat. I could feel my face heating up just thinking about it as I rested my head on the table, looking up at Ty. "What?" He smiled, raising an eyebrow at me. "You're killing me." I mumbled, looking away for second before returning my gaze to Tyler. "How? Am I embarrassing you?" He teased, grinning playfully. "You didn't have to dress up y'know.." I muttered, momentarily looking away. "I wanted to look nice for you though. So you're gonna have to deal with it for the rest of the night." Tyler smirked, leaning forward and resting his arms on the table. 'For you'... For me.. I loved it when he does nice things for me..

"But you're too hot for your own good." I whined, blush feverishly heating up my face as I bit my lip. "And you're too cute for your own good." Tyler claimed, a light blush on his cheeks as he sat his arm up so he could rest his cheek in his palm. I didn't say anything knowing that if I denied it he'd argue that I am cute and start ranting out endless reasons, making me redder than a tomato. So I stayed quiet, smiling to myself. It was silent for a moment, Tyler probably staring at me or something as I thought about how amazing he was. Then my eye caught the milkshake. "Ty, you only got one." I giggled, raising an eyebrow at him as I pointed to the shake. "'Thought we could share." He smirked, putting two straws in. I smiled, shaking my head at his childishness. "Yeah, sure, I don't mind." I shrugged, my smile growing wider.

I grabbed the straw closer to me, pushing it between my lips and sucking. Tyler had a smug look on his face, making me stop. "What..?" I asked, confused on his expression. "Nothing." He smirked, stifling a laugh as he drew sloppy circles on the table with a finger, his eyes never leaving me. I fake pouted, flicking the straw so that it slid around the rim of the cup, colliding with the latter. The force of the small collision sent Tyler's straw sliding back my way. "What are you doing?" Tyler chuckled, his pearly white teeth peeking through pink lips. "Nothing~" I grinned, looking away momentarily. I continued flicking the straws, twirling them between my fingers. "You're a dork." Ty giggled, booping my nose. "Your dork." I corrected, booping him back. "Oh, I almost forgot 'cause you're blinding me with you're adorableness." Tyler flirted, both us blushing. "I hate you.." I muttered, trying to fight the smile tugging at my lips as I looked down, a fluttery feeling in my chest. 

"Shut up, you love it." Tyler mused, a toothy grin plastering his face. "Tease.." I accused, pouting as I rested both arms on the table. "Your tease," Ty reminded, pointing at me before taking a sip of the milkshake from the straw closest to him. "Well, what if I don't want a tease?" I brought up, raising a fist to rest my chin on. "Then you're gonna have to suck it up because I'm not going anywhere," He smirked, flicking the straw back my way. "Well, I'm fine with that." I smiled, blushing a little. "Good." He replied, both of us grabbing a straw and slurping the milkshake. I could see a playful grin he was hiding and immediately raised an eyebrow.

As to answer my question, he blew into the straw, bubbles arising in the shake. I giggled, having to let go of the straw to prevent myself from choking. "What the fuck, Tyler," I commented, not expecting that. He kept an expressionless face, looking me dead in the eye, and blew once more. Of course, he couldn't hold back any longer and we broke out laughing. Once we calmed down, I shook my head at his childishness and we returned to drinking, or uh, having a bubble war? I don't even know how it happened, but we ended up giggling and blowing bubbles in it. 

We took a breather from messing around and actually drank the milkshake, having a conversation about what our friends would think if they knew that we were dating. "No way, Nogla would totally support us. After all, he ships Evan and Jon." I assured, smiling. "You think so? I mean, he's straight himself, right?" Tyler reminded, chewing his nail anxiously. "That doesn't mean he won't accept us. If anything, he'd probably be excited for us." I counter argued, picturing how he'd react. "Him and Lui are cute though. It's too bad he won't grow a pair," Tyler commented, snorting a laugh. "What happened to the 'Oh, he's straight, no way he'll accept us' thing?" I giggled, confused on his switch of feelings on the topic. "I don't know, they're adorable together and I take Nogla for the flexible type." Ty complimented, smirking as he said the last part. "Ty, you're a dick," I sighed, looking down as my smile continued to grow. "Is that why you want me?" He teased, making me cough as my face heated up. "That's not what I- ugh.." I grumbled, my hand accompanying my face.

"I'm just kidding." He reassured, using a playful tone. I stayed quiet, pouting. "Craiggyyyy~" He called, pushing my foot with his own. "Craiggy, I'm sorryyy~" Tyler apologized, trapping my foot between his own feet. "You're mean." I accused, uncovering my face so he could clearly see my pout. "I didn't mean it." Tyler whined, using his feet to pick my foot up. I raised an eyebrow at him, leaning back and crossing my arms across my chest. "Craig, I'm sowwyyyyyyy~ I didn't mean it, I was only kidding." Ty repeated, resting his head on the table as he continued to move my foot around. "I love you." Tyler cooed, looking up at me with big, indigo eyes. "No you don't." I teased, keeping a serious face. "Yes I do." Tyler retaliated, his face indicating he's ready to play this game as he rose his head. "No, you don't." I countered, trying to keep my smile down. "Yes, I do." Tyler kept up, resting an arm on the table while the other rested on the top of the booth's seat. 

"Prove it." I challenged, putting my hands on the table. "I took you on a date, didn't I?" Tyler pointed out, tilting his head slightly as he raised an eyebrow. "Yeah.." I sighed in defeat, looking down momentarily before meeting his gaze once more. "But, if you want, I can prove it later tonight." He offered, his cheeky grin making it hard to tell if he was serious or not. I blushed, shocked that I just heard that come out of his mouth. I couldn't get myself to speak, causing Tyler's devious smile to grow. "Don't push it." I glared, suddenly able to find words. "I won't push it if that's what you want." Ty hinted, leaning back slightly. "Ty." I warned, catching on to what he was doing. "What? I'm just toyin' with ya', Doll Face." He reassured, shining a toothy grin. "Better be.." I muttered, my face heating up again. 

"Y'know, I do feel like an idiot though." Tyler brought up, slightly tapping his fingers on the table. "Why?" I questioned, not sure of what he was referring to. "'Cause I sat across from you instead of next to you." He explained, biting his lip. "So?" I countered, raising an eyebrow. "I can't kiss you," Tyler grumbled, both of our facing heating up a little. "No one's stopping you," I smiled, taking a sip from the milkshake. Tyler smiled happily as he walked over to my seat, sitting next to me. Tyler wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close as he rested his head on top of mine. "Thanks for making me feel short," I giggled, putting my hands in my lap. "Yeah, no problem, Babe," He chuckled, making my face flush as I uncontrollably smiled. "Can I kiss you now?" He brought up, nuzzling his head into my hair. "Yeah." I blushed, smiling shyly. "Finally.." He muttered, a hand finding the back of my head. Lifting his head off mine, he pulled me into a kiss. It was short, but sweet, and we both loved it nonetheless. 

"I love you."

"Yeah, whatever.. I love you too."
