"You don't understand, its simple really-" (OXO, very dark, CLOSED)

Az holds him close and leads him deeper into the bookstore. “Let’s start with a manga. They have pictures, usually pretty simple words. And no one should make fun of you for reading it. f there something that you see that you’re interested in, tell me, and I’ll buy it.”

Tyler nodded, "but…I'm to old to learn to read…" he looked at the ground.

“Who said that? No you’re not.” He looks at Tyler, “YOu’re not too old to do anything. You can always teach an old dog new tricks.”

"Trick always said I was to old…" He said quietly, hugging himself. Trick had always talked down to Tyler.

“Well. I’m teaching you how.” He smiles, “Pick a book.”

Tyler closes his eyes and reaches out, picking a book at random.

Az smiles and gently takes the book from him, “Any more you want?”

(Huh?)

(Fixed)

Tyler shakes his head, "just one for now. Trick doesnt like books"

Az sighs and nods, walking towards the cashier and buys the book, looking back at Tyler.

Tyler fidgets with his hand while he waits, noticing where his finger had been bleeding and frowns.

Az walks back, “Hey, you okay?”

"I was bleeding…" Tyler shows Carmen his finger.

Az sighs, taking his hand and nods, “Yeah, it’s just a small cut though.” He kisses the others hand, smiling.

Tyler blushed and looked at the ground, flustered.

Az smiles and kisses him.

Tyler blushes more before kissing the other back.

Az leans into him, resting his forehead on Ty’s shoulder.

Tyler wraps his arms around Carmen, "are you ok?"

He nods, quiet for long moments.

"Ok" Tyler rests his head against Carmens, holding him close.

Az smiles softly, closing his eyes as he relaxes.

Tyler smiles, "I l-like you Carmen, a lot"

Az smiles at him, “Mhm. . .”

"Do you like me?" He asked quietly

Az looks at him, “Yes, I like you too.:

Tyler smiled, blushing. "I-im glad…"

Az smiles at him.

Tyler looks down, "I… I dont want trick to hurt you…"
