Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Heaven

a/n: just for a visual Troye's apartment has the same layout of Tyler's actual apartment but Troye's room looks like his normal room. Okay Enjoy bye

Troye shoved his last random coat and pair of jeans in his closet and quickly shut the door so that the mess didn't come tumbling out. He looked around his room and observed the fairy lights adorning his bed frame, he wondered briefly if he should take them down before deciding that he liked them there. Troye plopped on the couch lost in thought about Tyler.

Troye couldn't help it, he wanted to know about Tyler. He wanted to know about his struggles because Troye had struggles too. Troye wanted to make Tyler feel less alone. Along time ago Troye learned that pleasing everyone is overrated, he became sheltered and depressed and large crowds and the idea of becoming close to another person made him panic. However, he didn't feel panic at the idea of Tyler being his friend. Troye walked through life alone with a limp, struggling to continue to move forward and the idea of Tyler being his friend was like having someone to hold his empty hand as he limped through. Not relying on Tyler, just having him there to help take the weight off his weak spots.

Troye broke out of his thoughts as he heard a knock on the door. He swung the door open to reveal a warmly dressed Tyler. "Jeez-o-petes its freezing outside. Mother nature is veeery busy" Troye offered to take Tyler's jacked that was ice cold from the outside temperatures. He watched as Tyler slid his shoes off and Troye lead them further into the living room.

"This place is cute, I um parked my car in the spot labeled for 504. I'm not going to be in the way of your parents or anything right" Tyler asked looking over at Troye. Troye shook his head "Na you'll be good" Tyler pulled out his computer as Troye disappeared into the kitchen. Tyler could feel the butterflies in his stomach but he didn't know why. He sat looking around at the objects adorning the apartment. Overall the apartment seemed fairly empty there was not much on the walls and the only thing on a small table in against the wall was the internet router. Tyler brought his attention back to his computer as Troye reappeared with bowl and two water bottles.

"I brought some pretzels incase we got hungry or something" Troye said as he placed the bowl on the coffee table in front of the couch and sat down. "So do you know anyone who can sing" Troye said breaking the silence "No, and I'm tone deaf" Tyler giggled "You know anything about writing songs" Tyler asked "nope" Troye said making a popping noise at the 'p'

Tyler laughed "Well this should be interesting" Troye smiled and looked at Tyler "You should smile with your teeth more, its cute" Tyler said as Troye blushed and bowed his head trying to hide his reddening face which only made Tyler laugh more.

Eventually both boys settled down and sat on the couch scrolling through various idea on google to write a song about. Troye thought about some of his favorite song and how those songs talked about personal emotions and struggles. His top songs talked about the emotions behind personal struggles and heartbreak. He knew that to write a great song they needed to try to do exactly that. "So" Troye broke the silence "Maybe we should write about something difficult we faced, thats what most good songs are about" he continued looking out the corner of his eye at Tyler.

"Um okay...any ideas" Tyler said with a pointed look in Troye's direction

"I don't know, I don't know anything about you Tyler" Troye said plainly and Tyler's eyes narrowed "Nice try but we have a deal remember" Tyler stated plainly looking back down at his computer.

"Well that deal is shit" Troye mumbled under is breath and Tyler rolled his eyes "Trust me Troye, you wouldn't be able to handle it and I'm not talking about this anymore"

"Fine then what makes a good song to you because I'm out of ideas" Troye said he was so annoyed with Tyler all he wanted was to talk to him. Troye craved a deep conversation he wanted to know what was going through Tyler's mind. "Don't get mad at me, I told you that there are certain things in my life that you don't need to know. I told you that a week ago and I'm sticking to it" Troye rolled his eyes and pressed his tongue into his cheek wondering why was Tyler so damn stubborn.

"Okay and I said I would wait...so about the song, how about when you came out to your family as bisexual, can we write a song about that" Troye said in an attempt to change the subject. He knew that his own coming out wasn't the most pleasant but it also wasn't the worst. His family didn't force him to move out, he moved out on his own. They didn't say homophobic things to him, but he could tell that some of his family members thought them. He thought that the experience of coming out to their families could make a nice song.

"I haven't done that yet" Tyler said quietly "My mom knows but she hasn't said anything about it to me and my dad complains about 'the gays' all the time so...yeah. I haven't done it"

Troye looked over at Tyler who was looking blankly at his computer key board "I'm sorry" Troye said quietly he knew exactly how Tyler felt but suddenly he was a loss for words.

Tyler began to elaborate "He talks about how people who are gay won't go to heaven. I bite my tongue and don't say anything but...if there is a heaven, and I can't be myself up there. Then maybe I don't want heaven. ya know" Tyler said quietly looking over at Troye

"even if we don't find heaven Tyler I'll still stand by you" Troye said looking at him

Tyler smiled "This is way to sappy and I done talking about it" he said looking over at Troye. Troye was looking at him wide eyed, Tyler felt uncomfortable under his stare almost like Troye would be able to see straight through him and read his mind. Troye slouched back on the couch and sighed with a smile "I know what we are writing a song about Tyler"
