Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Twerp

Troye gathered his last few things from his locker and made his way out of school thanking the heavens that he made in through the week and soon it would be winter break. "Troye! Troye wait up!"

Troye turned around to see Tyler headed in his direction speed walking. When Tyler finally caught up with Troye he was exhausted and dizzy. Troye grabbed Tyler's arms as he wobbled slightly "Are you sure you're okay Tyler" Tyler glared at him 

"Stop fucking asking me that" Tyler bit back "I'm so sick of being asked that" He continued and Troye muttered a soft apology. "I just wanted your number so that we could get together and start working on the song for drama" Tyler said and Troye smiled at him

"Excuses excuses. If you wanted my number you could have asked" Troye said before trading phones and typing his number into Tyler's device and handing it back to him "Anyway I gotta go, I have work" Troye stated and he bounced down the stairs of the school.

Troye headed towards the side walk as a slightly rusted old jeep pulled up next to him. "Wanna ride there twerp" Tyler giggled from within the car. Troye scoffed with a smile at the nickname and quickly declined and continued to walked into the center of town

"Come on, its cold let me drive you" Troye rolled is eyes as Tyler rolled beside him at a slow pace. Troye told Tyler that he was more than fine walking to work and that is wasn't too far. Tyler still rolled matching Troye's pace "you never give up do you" Troye said trying to hide the small smile on his face. "Ah how the tables have turned. Now you know how it feels. Just get in and I'll leave you alone" Tyler said to Troye with a smile

"I have two working legs Tylah" Tyler giggled at the sound of his name with Troye's thick accent "And I have four working wheels just get it, please" Tyler said batting his eyelashes at Troye. Troye groaned and stamped to the passengers side of the the jeep. Troye slid in that strapped his seat belt on before crossing his arms over his chest "See that wasn't so hard was it" Tyler beamed

Tyler dropped Troye off at the dinner and he hopped out "Thank you for the ride I didn't need. Do you want to come in and get a snack I work the bar counter thing so I we could talk about the project" Troye said as he shut the door and took a step away from the car "Ah I'm not hungry I'll text you about the project" Tyler stated plainly to Troye as he put the car in reverse. Troye waved bye as he walked through the door of the dinner and grabbed the white apron from behind the counter.

"Hey kid glad to see you survived the graveyard shift" Connor said as he walked past Troye and headed into the kitchen with the bus bin full of dishes. Troye washed his hands in the sink as Connor walked pasted him to grab another empty bin. Troye nodded his head in agreement of Connor's statement. But Troye didn't really care, all he could think about was getting out of work and going back to his apartment.

Troye walked up the stairs and down the hall to his apartment swinging the door to 504 open and entering before closing the door behind him. He breathed a sign of relief as he dropped his backpack on the floor and threw his jacket on top of it. He walked into his bedroom and changed into sweatpants before flopping down on the couch. He pulled his computer off the coffee table. He didn't have enough money to ever purchase a television or cable so Troye spent most of his time on tumblr. He was in a deep tumblr hole somehow looking at gifs of people siding on ice when he phone chirped from within the couch cushions.

Tyler: Hello there Troye I know its late and you will most likely see this in the morning but when you do get it...want to meet somewhere to start the project? Okay thats all I'll talk to ya later

Troye debated not responding and just waiting till the morning but he quickly decided against it and typed a quick response 'I'm actually still up on tumblr...that sounds great! I have work from noon until 5 though so do you want to do it before or after??'

Tyler: We can do it after, although my house will be quite loud then, want to go to the library or something? (ps whats your url)

Troye smiled at his phone wondering why on earth Tyler's house would be loud especially because Tyler himself was so quiet 'As long as we sick to our 'whats mine is mine deal' and you don't ask questions you are more than welcome to come work here its always nice and quiet :) oh and (ps. nutellaisbetterthanyou.tumblr.com)

Tyler: okay deal. txt me your address in the morning and i'll see ya then twerp :)

Troye rolled his eyes at the teasing nickname yet again. He rolled off the couch and headed into his bed room to go to sleep feeling warmth in his chest from talking to his friend rather than the sadness he felt last night
