TROYE'S P.O.V

I walked into my room to find that Tyler wasn't there. My mind started to go over all the places he could be as I searched the house. The pain from my ankle was slight but still present. After quickly searching the whole upstairs of the house I begun to walk down the stairs to continue my search. I immediately felt at comfort when I heard his loud witch-like cackle come from the dining room. 

I slowly walked into the dining room to find Sage sitting with Tyler at the long, wooden table in the centre of the room. Tyler's hair was a complete mess and he was wearing my big, black sweater. Tyler must've heard me walk into the room because he snapped his head away from Sage so he was looking directly at me. He smiled his big, white, teethy grin and patted the seat next to him, gesturing for me to sit down. 

I sat down and looked him straight in the eye to tell him the good news. "Steele said he is going to give you a chance!" I exploded with excitement and happiness. Tyler's eyebrow shot up in amazement and Sage squealed. "Really...?!" Tyler's morning voice was deep and hot. "That's amazing!" Tyler added. He hugged me tight and the biggest smile spread across my face as I reciprocated the show of affection and excitement. 

We both released from the hug and started a long conversation with Sage about how Tyler and I met. We told her everything, from the collision at the elevator, to the fan threatening me on stage at Vidcon, to Tyler's drunk birthday party. She listened carefully and I could tell she was trying so hard not to fangirl. After we finished the story she clapped her hands excitedly and jumped up and down on her seat. "Eeeeee!" She squealed. Tyler blushed furiously. 

"Pancakes are ready!" I heard mum call from the kitchen. She then brought out a plate stacked up with pancakes and a jar of Nutella. "Thank you," Sage, Tyler and I all said in synchronization. As we ate our pancakes we continued to talk about anything and everything.

Tyler and I were sitting at a table for three, waiting for Steele to walk through the restaurant door. I could tell by Tyler's constant fidgeting and sweating palms that he was nervous. I looked out the window to see beautiful beach that Tyler and I kissed at only days ago. It's been two days since I told Tyler that Steele agreed to give him a chance. Since then I have been organising the perfect time and location. I drew my attention away from the beach and towards the tall figure that walked through the door. 

It was Steele.

Oh shit.

Oh god. oh god. Okay, okay. Troye, calm down. He is going to love Tyler. Everyone loves Tyler. It's okay. It's okay. As Steele approached our table Tyler stood and gave him a firm handshake. Then he looked at me and smiled a faint smile. I could tell it wasn't genuine. He is my freaking brother! I know him better than any one of his many girlfriends ever will. When he genuinely smiles his eyes sparkle and he shows his teeth.  Tyler and Steele has already sat down and started talking by the time I snapped out of my daze. 

"Why do you love my baby brother so much?" Steele coldly asked Tyler. Tyler shifted in his seat before speaking. His body language was very nervous but he spoke with confidence and certainty. "Troye makes me happy when I'm sad. Troye is caring and listens. Troye is the sweetest and hottest thing to ever walk upon this Earth and he is super talented and beautiful."

My face turned a bright red. Tyler then hugged and and whispered, "It's all true." I smiled and looked back up to examine what Steele thought of Tyler's heart-warming speech about me. I sighed a little bit when I looked up to find his face expressionless. He just stared at Tyler and I. Seconds turned to minutes and Steele still hadn't said a word. I started to feel butterflies in my stomach, it felt like someone was twisting my insides. I could feel a drop of sweat roll down my forehead. 

After quite some time Steele finally said, "Is that the beach you guys kissed on?" He pointed out the window. Tyler stuttered but replied truthfully to Steele's question. "Y-yes? How do you know we kissed at the beach?" Steele's arm dropped back down to his side. Still staring out the window he replied, "There isn't a single thing that goes on involving my family that I don't know about. Even when I'm studying at university I still see everything. I know what goes on. I. Know. Everything. So don't mess with my family, Oakley." Tyler gulped at Steele's threat. He was more nervous than me now.

Why does Steele have to be such an asshole? Ugh, It's so annoying! "Steele. Be nice." I spat. Those three words being the first i've spoken since Steele walked into the restaurant. He sat up straight and fixed his collar. "Tyler, why should I like you?" Tyler sat there for a while. I waited patiently for Tyler's response. I just wish Steele would stop being such an asshole. 

"You should like me because Troye likes me. I shouldn't have to prove myself to you. If you truly cared about Troye then you would like whatever makes him happy. Troye, do I make you happy?" Tyler and Steele's eyes darted towards me. I looked at Tyler to see his pleading eyes. Then I looked at Steele to see his stern expression. "Tyler makes me happy Steele," I said straight to Steele's face. Tyler smiled and continued his rant. "See? I make Troye happy. Don't you like Troye being happy? What kind of brother takes away their baby brothers happiness? You say you are trying to protect him but really you're not. Your threats do not scare me. You do not scare me, Mellet." I tried to hide a giggle at that last sentence. I could tell by the way Tyler acts when Steele is around that Tyler is scared shitless of Steele. When I looked at Steele, he was also trying to hide a smile. I think he knows Tyler is scared of him as well. 

"Is that a good enough reason for you?" Tyler said, anger streaming through his voice now. It was at this moment I really noticed how much Tyler cared about me. I kissed Tyler on the cheek, making sure Steele was watching. He and I both giggled and I leaned my head on his shoulder. We waited and watched as Steele was thinking very deeply about what to say. I crossed my fingers under the table hoping he would finally like Tyler. I mean, Tyler stood up to Steele for me. Maybe...Steele will respect Tyler's honesty and bravery? I noticed how clammy my hands were so I rubbed them on my jeans. 

"No." Steele said, before getting up and leaving.

Tear immediately began to form in my eyes as Tyler shot up and ran after him.

"Hey! Wait!"
