Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Hands

Troye was shocked when he felt someone's soft touch as he laid on the floor crying. Normally he would have just rested there on the floor until the bell rang but today the boy came into the stall and pulled Troye on to his lap. Troye didn't know how to react but he felt different now that he was being held. He began to feel at ease like the boys touch was his source of his comfort. He sat there a while with his head rested on the mystery boys chest.

He finally got the courage to look up at the boy and was blown away to see the boy from his math class with his arms wrapped around Troye. The boy looked into Troye's eyes and Troye almost melted. The mystery boys eyes were a beautiful blue green. They were sharp and crystal like and they resembled handmade stain glass. The light reflected in them and he saw a sheet of emotions behind the blue-green iris' he saw concern, wonderment, confusion, and pain. The boy cleared his throat "Hi" he said with a smile

Troye continued to look at him moving his gaze up to his mint green hair. Every single piece was perfectly placed to form the best looking quiff Troye had ever laid eyes on. "Hi" Troye spoke out softly.

"Tyler, it um..it's nice to finally see you" Tyler said to Troye. The edges of Troye's mouth lifted slightly "Troye with an e, and um same" Troye said as he looked down at his lap trying not to feel awkward since he was still wrapped up in Tyler's arms. Tyler sensed Troye's nerves and removed his arms and Troye moved to sit next to Tyler.

"So are you going to tell me why you were crying" Tyler said in a serious tone. Neither boy looked at each other as they sat on the floor leaning against the wall

"Are you going to tell me why you are always getting sick" Troye rebutted still not looking at Tyler

"touche" Tyler said in a flat tone

Tyler and Troye sat in the bathroom stall in silence until the bell sounded and called them to go to drama. Tyler stood up and offered his hand out to Troye. Troye blushed and reached for Tyler's hand and without noticing brought up the hand which held his notebook. "It's easier to use your empty hand" Troye reached up again as Tyler giggled and helped pull him to his feet. Tyler unlatched the door a walked out of the stall pausing in front of the sink to wash his hands. Troye fixed his hair in the mirror and watched as Tyler avoided the mirror all together. Troye didn't comment and quietly dried his hands and headed to his locker for his backpack. Troye walked into drama and sunk down in his usual spot as Tyler came to sit next to him. Neither boy said anything as Troye scribbled in his notebook and Tyler scrolled through his phone.

"We are officially one fourth of the way through the school year, our next project is a performance in front of the class. In pairs you will compose a piece and display it in any form. As for my promise from last class, since everyone did well creating posters using photo shop, I brought in pizza and snacks for everyone to enjoy. You can mix and mingle this period and your only task is to find a partner. Enjoy" Glo opened up the pizza boxes and the students swarmed the boxes even though they had just gotten out of lunch.

Troye waited for the line to die down before he get up off the steps to get a piece for himself. "Uh want anything" Tyler snapped up and looked at Troye but Troye didn't miss the look of panic is Tyler's eyes "uh..um...no I-I'm good. Still full from uh..lunch" Troye looked at him and blinked aimlessly before moving to get himself a slice of pizza. Troye was no fool, Tyler didn't eat lunch at all he was in the bathroom where they always were. Troye tried to ignore his growing concern as he came back and sat next to Tyler who was still scrolling through his phone.

"Hello boys you two seem to be the only people without partners" Glo came and stood in front of Tyler and Troye with her hand on her hips. "no we do, he is my partner" Tyler responded without looking up at Troye or Glo. "Oh yeah um we are partners I guess" Troye muttered out looking over at Tyler who's eyes were glued to his phone screen. "Oh well that is WONDERFUL you two will do great work together. I CAN FEEL IT" Troye rolled his eyes and returned to his notebook until he was interrupted by Glo's voice again. "Tyler dear aren't you going to eat some pizza you look hungry" Troye watched as Tyler froze, looked up and nodded in Glo's direction but Troye saw the panic in Tyler's eyes.

Troye observed as Tyler got up and walked towards the folding tables that the pizza was on. He watched as Tyler picked up a plate and ran the edge through his fingers, turning the plate in a circular motion as he looked down at the pizza. He watched Tyler take a deep breath before taking a slice out of the box and placing it on his plate. Tyler slowly walked back towards his seat and Troye felt a little bit better knowing that Tyler was going to eat. Suddenly Troye watched as tears made kaleidoscopes in Tyler's eyes and he stopped walking. Troye didn't know what to do as he watched Tyler turn towards the door and rush out dropping the pizza in the bin on the way out.
