Stand By You (Troyler AU)

HALP

A/n: look at that adorable smol bean...he is so cute and he is in his 'A' jumper 

-Time Skip Tuesday-

Tyler sat crossed legged on the bathroom counter waiting for Troye to walk in so they could carry on with their heated conversation about what the best show on Netfix was. Troye bound through the bathroom door an sat in his usual spot and Tyler looked down on him as he sat quietly "So I am taking your silence as you admitting I'm right" Tyler beamed with a smile. "Na watch Blackfish on Netflix" Troye said to him with a smirk

Over the weekend Tyler and Troye talked every day about stupid shit that no one cared about except them. None of the conversations ever got into anything deeply personal and Troye was itching to know more. Every where he went something reminded him of Tyler. He was at the dinner and Lady Gaga came on the radio, he was at the store and he walked by the shoe's section and spotted Vans, he when to the food store and thought about how Tyler never ate in front of him. He saw a pack of mint gum and he imagined Tyler's mint hair and when something made him laugh he wondered if Tyler would have laughed too.

"You do that a lot" Troye looked up at Tyler "Do what a lot" Troye asked and Tyler smiled before looking back down at his phone "You get lost in your own thoughts and you get this look on your face" Tyler started to blush "but don't worry its adorable" he finished

"I'm so done with you" Troye said getting up off the ground as the bell rang and the boys walked out of the bathroom

——

Troye looked at the clock again wiping his hands on apron, it was only 7pm and he was scheduled to work until midnight. He looked up at the television as a random christmas ad flicked across the screen. The evening was dragging on and they hadn't had a customer in an hour and a half. Troye pulled out his phone and scrolled aimlessly through tumblr before he got bored of that too

Tyler HALP. I'm gonna die (of boredom) SOS!!!

Tyler: excuse me I am not just here for your entertainment TroyeSivan

Honestly please send help I'm so bored

we haven't had anyone come in for over an hour

Tyler!! don't ignore me! I need someone to talk tooooo

ugh you're so annoying

okay whatever Ty I'll remember this!!

Troye slumped back into his chair he was never going to make it another 5 hours. The only other people working were his boss, Connor, and the chief and none of them sounded appealing to talk to. Troye sat at the counter stacking the plastic containers that hold milk for coffee as the diner played soft christmas music. He heard the bells on the door ring thanking the heavens that they had a customer and he walked back behind the counter.

"No I am going to sit and the counter thank you" the customer said

Troye smiled, he knew that voice and turned quickly to see Tyler walking towards the counter with his mint quiff tucked under a beanie. "boredom help is here" he said plopping down on the empty bar stool. Troye looked at him confused he tried to concentrate on Tyler's words but all Troye could think about was the fact the Tyler drove all the way into town just to save him from boredom. Troye listened as Tyler talked behind him and he slid Tyler a menu incase he wanted to eat something. Troye sighed as Tyler muttered that 'he was full from dinner' Troye didn't understand what was going on. He was so confused by Tyler. One minute they were laughing together and the next minute Tyler was telling Troye to butt out of his business.

"There's the look again" Tyler smiled at Troye and Troye rolled his eyes. He sat back against the metal countertop and shook his head blushing at Tyler.

"Troye, You busy on christmas and christmas eve, I need someone to work" Troye boss spoke up, Troye was about to agree when his bosses phone rang

"I hope you're about to say no Troye, you should be with your family" Tyler said to him with a serious look on his face. Troye felt the sadness bubble up, he had no family to spend the time with anyway. "My family is away right now and also I'm jewish" he told Tyler as he picked up the rag to wipe the counter off "So come to my house and sleep over. I will be funnnn" Tyler said as Troye's boss walked over again

"So can you come in?" Troye thought about Tyler's offer but he didn't really want to go to Tyler's house and see his happy family. It would just make Troye lonely when the holidays were over. He looked up at his boss deciding that it would be better if he worked.

"Actually he is coming to my house for Christmas" Tyler spoke up and Troye opened his mouth in shock glaring at Tyler "Okay thats fine I'll ask Connor" Troye's boss said as he walked away.

"Would you look at that" Tyler said with a smile raising his eyebrows, but Troye didn't smile back

——

At 8:30 Troye's boss told him that he could leave because the diner was closing early. Troye walked out of the doors behind Tyler. Ever since Tyler decided that Troye was coming to his house for the holidays Troye has been weirdly quiet. Troye started walking towards the side walk and Tyler quickly pulled Troye to his car. Troye looked at the ground and Tyler opened the door for Troye nudging him to climb into the jeep. Troye eventually climbed into the car and Tyler closed the door before walking to the drivers side.

Most of the ride was quiet as the christmas music played softly from the radio. Tyler glanced every so often at Troye who was rubbing the sleeves of his jumper. Tyler huffed and continued to drive to Troye's apartment. Troye climbed out of the car "Thanks for the ride and thanks for coming Tyler, you didn't have to do that" Troye said softly getting out of the car.

"I know, I wanted to. I'll talk to you tomorrow and I'll let you know about Christmas eve" Tyler said smiling softly at Troye who really hadn't looked up at him.

"Are um...you okay" Tyler said quietly looking down at the steering wheel

"I thought we weren't asking that question" Troye said plainly to Tyler through the open window of the car. "You're right, but I want you to call me if..you uh..need to talk or something" Tyler hesitated to find the right words but he knew that Troye was struggling for some reason

"I'm fine" Troye said walking away from the car to enter the apartment building

"I'll just wait" Tyler said as he watched Troye walk away, Troye turned around and gave Tyler a small smile and a wave as the door closed behind him

A/N:

First update for today...but the snow is piling up and I finish all my homework already. Lucky for ya'll I guess. Thanks for reading I like this story I hope you all do too. 

My professor gave me a riddle that has been bugging me so now I'm slapping it on you people...so you're welcome:

3 men are renting one hotel room that cost 30 dollars. Each man pays 10 dollars to the lady at the front desk. The men go into their room and the lady at the dest discovered that she over charged the men by 5 dollars. She gives the bell boy (another hotel worker) the 5 dollars and tells him to bring it to the men in the room. The bell hop decides to keep 2 dollars for himself and gives each man back 1 dollar. Therefore, technically each man payed 9 dollars for the room. 

9 times 3 is 27, plus the 2 the bell hop took equal 29. The room cost 30 dollars...where did the last dollar go? 

Okay enjoy that mind fuck because its driving me nuts 

see ya later 

*throws snow on you*

good luck with your life 

Katie :)
