Frozen Flames - Troyler AU [Discontinued]

Chapter 16 - Haunting Past

Troye’s POV

The night by the bonfire had simply been amazing. Tyler and our mutual friends just hung out and it was amazing seeing that everyone was in some kind of conversation, smiling, that had me smiling, and Tyler of course. After a few hours people wanted to go back to the dorms and one of Tyler’s friends that I haven’t really gotten to know had put out my fire. Everyone started walking back but Tilly and I trailed behind and soon we we’re sneaking quick kisses and giggling. As we got back to the dorms the corridors were empty. “Can we hang out in your room?” I asked Tyler and he nodded in response and said “Sure but I need to shower quickly” I nodded and said “I’m going to get something from my room quickly, I’ll be back” I raced down into mine and Caspar’s; I unlocked the door to be met with silence. I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to the desk, I opened a drawer to find my glasses and the book I was currently reading. I closed the drawer and put on my glasses, book in hand before walking out of the dorm, locking it behind me and racing back to Tyler’s dorm. I knocked on the door and let myself in.

Tyler held out a hand that I immediately took and he pulled me close. “You look cute” Tyler said and pecked my lips once. I blushed and sat down in one of the armchairs as Tyler went into the bathroom. I picked up my book, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green and continued to read about Hazel, her mum and Augustus going through the security x-ray at an airport on their way to Amsterdam. I smiled as I heard Tyler start humming some song which I soon recognized as Fire N Gold by Bea Miller, I continued to read but kept listening to Tylers humming. There was half a minute of silence before he started singing Worth It by Fifth Harmony, but as he tried to sing it in a few octaves lower it ended up in a horrible voice crack.

I laughed at his little fail but continued to read the book. The book had dragged me in that far so I didn’t know about my surroundings, all that mattered in that moment was Hazel Grace trying to explain the metaphor of having a cigarette between your teeth but not letting it do it’s killing by lightning it to a flight attendant. As the scene ended I looked up and saw Tyler standing on the floor, phone in hand “Hello there beautiful” he said and I blushed before responding with “Hey gorgeous” with a warm smile on my lips.

Tyler walked up to me and lifted me up, I squeaked out of surprise, and sat down before setting me down in his lap. Tyler sneaked his arms around my waist and I hummed approvingly at the closeness. He then pressed a soft kiss to the back of my neck before asking “What’s the beauty reading?” I giggled at his low voice but answered “It’s The Fault In Our Stars by John Green” “Okay” Tyler said and turned my head, pecking my lips. “Okay” I answered and grinned at Tyler as he grinned back at me and I lost myself in his beautiful blue eyes with small green flecks. “Do you want to change into sweatpants?” Tyler asked after a couple of minutes and poked my skinny-jeans clad legs. “Sure” I answered and finished off the page I was reading before marking the next page by folding the corner and then standing up.

Tyler went into his wardrobe and took out another pair of sweatpants which he handed to me. I pulled off my skinnies and pulled on the sweats letting out a soft hum. Tyler walked up to me and took the skinnies out of my hand and laid them over the seat we had just been sitting in and pulled me with him toward the bed. Tyler sat down and I followed, but ungracefully stumbled and fell down on top of Tyler making him let out a huff of air loudly but Tyler only wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and I eventually just relaxed on top of Tyler, I changed my position so my head was close to Tyler’s heart, it ponded against his chest a little bit too fast.

After a while of just laying that way Tyler asked me “Are you going to sleep in that sweater?” I shake my head and sit up, ripping the fabric off my body after teasing “Want to see me shirtless Oakley?” which Tyler only rolled his eyes to in response. I lay down beside him and I saw Tyler staring at my six-pack and tracing the outlines of them with his finger. I yawned and neither of us bothered to get up to brush our teeth, we shared a soft and loving kiss before Tyler rolled over and made me big spoon for the night as he curled up with his back against my chest and I winded my arms around Tyler and pulled him closer. As Tyler’s body only got more and more relaxed, even breaths coming out from Tyler’s nose I whispered “I think I found my louis lane, I found you” softly and pressed a kiss into Tyler’s slightly damp hair. As Tyler let out a soft snore I sighed, but didn’t move. Thoughts started to swarm my mind and soon enough I was angrily blinking away tears at a certain memory.
