2007
(Troye is 12)

It was a day like any other. They had been driving around town for a while now, searching for the building in which Steeles Graduation should take place.
It was rainy, stormy and not a nice day at all, but the Mellets were still so happy for their son, listening to music and occasionally starting to sing along.
'What a nice day' was the last thought crawling through Laurelles mind, before it happened.
As they were turning around the last corner, another car hit theirs with a loud crash and their car started spinning around itself out of control.
The last thing Sage did was scream.
Shaun just couldn't breathe.
Tyde cried out in pain.
And everything seemed to stop.
Troyes whole life seemed to stop in that very moment, when he realized that this was no day like any other.
This was going to be the day everything collapsed.

2009
(Troye is 14)

Jackie stood in front of the orphanage for a good 10 minutes before she dared to step in. She had always hated orphanages. Since she stepped into the first one when she was six years old, until today. And actually, she wanted nothing more than to just forget, forget how it feels inside these special buildings, she wanted to forget the walls of her former room, which she left the day she turned 18, hoping everything would get better.
It didn't really though, until Tyler entered her life. That little cute potato, which she loved with all her heart since the day she felt him play football or whatever he did inside her, probably the last time he ever tried to participate in physical activity.
Only recently things had been relapsing again, when her dreams started again.
Nightmares about another one of those buildings she was about to enter.
So why was she entering it? Easy. In her last night before she turned 18, she had decided to sometime be that special someone to one of those hopeless teenagers, that noone adopted and that had to wait until he turned 18 to leave.
So that was what she was about to do.
Tyler had been up to it immediately.
He had always wanted another person besides him and his mother in their house. It was far too big for only the both of them anyways.
After two hours, Jackie had decided.
She had decided to pick that poor little boy into her heart, to keep him warm and help him to get over what no 14 years old boy should ever experience, the loss of his whole family.
At the end of her conversation with the staff, the little boy finally dared to lift his eyes to hers. And she saw the feelings she had wished for so incredibly long appear in his eyes, before a tear slowly escaped them and rolled down his cheek, mirroring Jackies.
This was going to be the day their dreams came true.

2010
(Troye is 15 & Tyler is 16)

"Fuck, Tilly, stop!", the words stumbled from Troye's mouth, who was currently trying to escape Tyler, who was clearly winning their tickle fight.
"So, did I win?", Tyler asked with a smirk on his face.
"Yes, you did. And I accept that you and only you deserve the last cookie, I must've been stupid to not see that earlier.", Troye admitted. Just as Tyler was trying to express his victory by standing up and striking a pose though, Troye stuffed the whole cookie in his mouth.
"You little shit! That was my cookie! I won it! I totally deserved this cookie!". Troye burst out into a fit of laughter, trying not to choke on Tylers well earned piece of perfection, created by none other than Queen Jackie.
"I am so done with you Troye Sivan Mellet.". This only resulted in Troye starting to giggle even more and clutching his stomach in a more or less serious attempt to stop laughing at the poor blonde haired boy in front of him.
"I'm sorry Tilly."
At that moment Jackie entered the room, watching how Tyler proceeded to tickle Troye as a "punishment" for his behaviour, smiling to herself as she saw tears of laughter stream across Troyes face.
Nobody would see her breaking into tears of happiness as soon as she entered the kitchen again. This was going to be the day everything felt too good to be true.

(both are still the same age)

"Fuck, Troye, why is the water this lilac?! It's meant to be blue! What the hell happened?"
"I honestly have no fucking clue, Tyler. I did everything just the same as I was supposed to! See, you have to rinse the colour out after...", Troye's eyes widened.
"Shit, Tyler, I'm so sorry.", he muttered as soon as he realized he had made a pretty obvious mistake. He did like this colour better than the dark blueish colour Tyler had attempted to go for, but you never know how Tyler thinks about these things.
Yes, Tyler did come out a few months ago, but maybe he'd think that lilac hair was just a little too... gay?
"Whatever, just get it out I wanna see it too.", Tyler snapped.
Troye winced at his tone, but still proceeded as Tyler had ordered. A few minutes later he was done and told the other boy so by clapping on his back.
Then he exited the bathroom and tried to calm his breaths. What if he had fucked up completely? What if he had made Tyler angry? What if he hated him now? He heard a loud gasp coming from the bathroom.
"Troye, oh my god, this is perfection!". At this, Troye slowly opened the door again, trying to not look too frightened. "You think?".
Tyler quickly took in his shy and worried face, and took Troyes face in both of his hands. "Yes Troye, I think so. I love it."
He tried to smile reassuringly, but stopped halfway because he realized what position the two had ended up in. And if he wasn't mistaken, Troye had too. Poor straight Troye, this must be awkward. 'Tyler, what the fuck it'd still be awkward if he was gay! Which he isn't. Not that it mattered anyways, this was Troye!'
All these thoughts floated through Tylers mind while he found himself slowly leaning into the other boy, only snapping out of it when a water droplet fell on his lips. Then he acted as if nothing ever happened and everything was normal, but Tyler would never know how many nights Troye stayed up late, thinking about this moment, more precise, the water droplet on Tyler's slightly parted lips, moving closer to him.
This was going to be the first time they almost kissed.
