One Kiss •• Tronnor

2 - The Boyfriend

-Troye

Troye woke up at 11 am the next day. He felt as if he was jet lagged when he was not, he had been talking to that Connor guy all night. Even though it was midday the room was dark, thanks to his blinds. Without them he wouldn't be able to sleep all day those days he wanted to, which he wanted to most days.

His phone started vibrate on his bedside table. He picked it up and pressed the home button with his thumb and squeezed his eyes shut as the light of a thousand suns came from the screen. He tried to open his eyes to see what the notification was all about, but once again the light made his eyes tear up.

He decided to, without open his eyes, try and turn down the light. So when he had made sure his eyes wouldn't burn he was able to see that the notification was a missed call from his lovely boyfriend, Chris. Troye smiled when seeing the name of the person he loved with the little blue heart next to it. They hadn't talked in a while, Chris had been traveling a lot lately and since they were in different parts of the world, in different time zones it was hard for them to pick a time that worked for both of them.

Or actually it was hard to pick a time that worked for Chris. He was traveling with his job and were practically busy all day, every day. And when he got home at night, either was Troye asleep or Chris was just too tired. And it was those times Troye said he actually had something to do too, when he actually didn't.
It hurt his heart a little to lie to Chris but is was just to make Chris not feel bad about never being able to call him.

Troye pressed the screen to call back and had to wait two signals before Chris answered.

"Hey", the dark voice said

"Hey", Troye answered.

Then they didn't say much. They only needed to know the other person was on the other side, hearing them breathe. That's all.

"So..", Chris broke the silence.

"So?", Troye asked.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, I miss you"

"Me too"

Silence

"Okay, so you know how I said I'll be coming home in a month, yeah?", Chris said and Troye felt a lump in his throat starting to form. Would Chris be off longer? For how long did Troye have to be without his boyfriend?

"Yeah? What about that?"

"So maybe we are going to be in the US for the last week, in San Francisco"

"Okay..?"

"And I wonder if you'd like to fly up here? And we could spend the last week together?", the excitement in Chris' voice was indescribable.

"Would you want to come spend a week with me in San Francisco?", Chris asked again. Troye was speechless, how could he ever imagine this?

"Yes, yes I would!", Troye whispered happily.

"Really?"

"Well of course!"

He couldn't think of a happier moment in his whole life. But then he thought of something.

"Chris?", he asked.

"Yeah, what's up babe?"

"How am I gonna get all the way to the US? I barely have enough money to pay for new clothing", Troye said quietly.

"What would you say if I said I already have paid the trip?"

"What?"

"Yeah, it's all done! I'm gonna send you your flight ticket as soon as we hang up", Troye couldn't believe the words! Was he actually going to America with his boyfriend, in like three weeks?!

"Oh my god, I can't believe you did this! You didn't have to", Troye said.

"Oh, I totally have to! I can't go another day away from you!", Chris said and Troye bit his lip to not lie in his bed, smiling like a fool.

"Well I guess you'll have to, there's a whole couple of weeks left until I'll fly to you", Troye said and laughed calmly.

"I'll wait a month, no time is too long to wait for you"

Troye didn't know what to say, all this was too overwhelming.

"Aww honey", Troye answered.

Silence

"Hey babe?"

"Yeah?"

"I gotta go now", the happiness Troye had felt died a little when Chris said that.

"Oh, okay...", Troye said, realizing his voice sounded very sad.

"Are you okay babe?", Chris asked.

"Of course! It's just, I'm still surprised by the trip that's all", Troye said, it wasn't a lie but it wasn't the whole truth either. He didn't want Chris to go, he wanted to talk to him all day and all night until the San Francisco trip.

"Oh okay, bye then"

"Goodbye"

They hung up and Troye put his phone back down on the floor.

He rolled over so he lied on his back, staring up at the ceiling.

Normally these phone calls would make him sad, well not while they were talking. While he was talking to Chris you could search the whole planet Earth and not find a happier person. But as soon as the call was over, and he didn't know how long it was until the next time he would hear his boyfriends voice again. Every time they had hung up he was close to tears.

But this time he couldn't decide what he was feeling. He was going to San Francisco with his boyfriend!

They had always talked about this, going on a trip together. But he never thought it would be this soon!

His phone made a noise and when he picked it up he saw the flight booking. The flight to San Francisco with a stop in LA for an hour.

He once again had to but his lip to stop himself from smiling like a fool.

Troye sat up in his bed, rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He was going to get ready for the day and then tell his family that he was gonna fly to San Francisco to see Chris.

As he was putting his phone down on the floor again it made another noise and he checked it fast.

11.57 AM, Connor
Hey u awake?

Troye watched the text but decided to answer later, so he turned off the sound and put it next to his bed and went to his bathroom to fresh himself up.
