Hidden Love (Tronnor fanfiction)

~25~ Not a goodbye

Troye's pov

"Please wake up" I whispered to Connor who was laying next to me.  We brought him back to his apartment, me and Brandon carried him to my car and I drove him home. When we entered the place, Tyler began to ask a million questions but I ignored him completely for a moment. I had Connor in my arms and laid him down in his bed. He was undercooled so we wrapped multiple blankets around him. I laid down next to him, giving him some of my body warmth. I had to change side a few times because it became too cold. Brandon was sitting next to the bed, so concentrated on Connor to see if he wakes up. It's around 2 am but neither of us slept. It was killing both of us to see him laying there.

"You know that he really loves you right?" Brandon spoke up, breaking the painful silence.

"Yes and I really love him too." A small smile formed on his lips.

"I know, I see it in the way you look at him."

"Was the conversation with your parents so bad?" I suddenly asked, I wanted to ask him this for hours now but didn't find the good moment. I couldn't just break the silence and ask him this.

"Yeah it was terrible. My mom was so unreasonable and then she said she wanted that Connor died instead of Nicola." Now I understand why he was so upset. That's the one thing that breaks him the most, the death of his sister.
"How dare she say that. Doesn't she know how much that must hurt him? He struggles with it all the time. " Brandon looked at me with disbelief written over his face.
"Do you know?" What does he mean?
"Know what? That he blames himself for it, that you saved him."
"So he told you about that. That means he must really care about you, he never told anyone, not even my parents." I didn't know I was the first one he told that too, knowing that, it makes it only more special.

I felt something move beside me, a second later a hand intertwined with mine.
"Connor, are you awake?" I asked softly.
"Where you guys talking about me? That's not nice." His voice was deep and rough, it didn't sound like him but it still made my heart flutter.
"It's not nice to make us worry like that either"
"Sorry."
"Don't be, we're happy you're okay."
"Have you guys slept at all?" He asked concerned about our sleep when he's the one who was undercooled.
"No we haven't" Brandon answered for both of us.
"That all for me? You guys should sleep some."
"I can sleep enough on the airplane in a few hours." I said sadly, remembering I have to leave soon.
"You're leaving today?" Brandon asked.
"Yeah I'm going back to Australia." He reacted with a simple 'oh'. I turned to Connor who was really quiet, his expression was so sad. If I would look at him any longer I'm sure I would cry.

"I'm going to tell Tyler you're awake." I said receiving a simple nod from Connor. I think he and Brandon can use some time to talk. It's not nothing what happened. This goes about their family so it's pretty important.

I walked in to the living room, seeing Tyler sit in the spot he was in earlier. I walked closer to him and realized he was asleep. I decided to let him sleep a little longer so I went to the kitchen to grab something to drink. When I returned to the living room Tyler had already woken up.
"Is he awake?"
"Yes." He looked at me confused.
"Why are you not with him then? It's your last day here. Not even a day, it's only like 3 hours before you leave."
"I know, I just thought he and his brother could use some time to talk."

The door of Connor's room opening took my attention. Brandon stood in the door opening.
"Troye, Connor wants you with him." I rolled my eyes. That idiot can't even be a minute without me
"He rolled his eyes didn't he?"  I heard Connor ask
"Yes he did."
"I told you so!" He giggled.
"Do you want me to come or not?" I teased.
"Ugh Troye just come. You know I love you." With that I walked to Connor giving him a quick peck on his lips.
"I love you too."
"Please no PDA" Tyler said from behind us earning a loud laugh from me.
"You know Connor has nothing against PDA" A blush spread across Connor's face. He probably forgot he told me that. I'm glad I remembered it though,  I'll do everything to see him with that adorable blush on his cheeks.
"Troyeboye just come lay down with me." He complained.
"Mmh I think I should go packing." I teased him. Of course I didn't need to do that, okay I actually need do to that but I just throw everything in my suitcase like I always do. As long as it closes it's alright. Why put everything neatly in it when you're going to wash it at home anyway? That's just ridiculous in my opinion.
