Troye watched as Tyler walked back into the frame of the webcam and he saw Tyler sink back onto the couch without saying anything. Troye could see Tyler rubbing his eyes and heard a faint sniffling sound. "Who's Korey?" Troye asked suddenly
"How much of that did you hear?" Tyler asked not looking at the screen, afraid that if he looked at Troye he would break down. How much pain was Todd going to cause in his life, hasn't he done enough.
"Most of it...are you okay?" Troye asked
"I'm tired" Tyler said resting his head back on the couch
Troye frowned "What kind of tired. There's a difference between 'I didn't sleep well last night' tired, and 'life is exhausting me and I need a break' tired" He said
"Both" Tyler said quietly
"D-Do you wanna talk about it?" Troye asked wishing that they were together in person so that Troye could make sure he was okay. They were miles away and he was watching though a computer and Troye was worried
"Not really, I want to go to sleep" Tyler said "I'll talk to you tomorrow?" Tyler said finally looking up at Troye's face on the screen
"Wait, keep the window open. I wanna make sure you fall asleep" Troye said
"Troye you don't need to watch me, I promise I won't throw up or anything" Tyler said blatantly
"I wasn't saying that you would, I just want to make sure you get to sleep and don't sit on tumblr" Troye said
Tyler huffed and picked up the laptop moving it so that it rested on the coffee table "Fine" Tyler said "But if you snore I am hanging up on you" he said with a smirk
"I do not snore!" Troye said suddenly
"But...you do" Tyler smiled
"ugh good night Ty" Troye said rolling his eyes
Tyler nestled himself into the couch pillows looking at the computer screen and watched as Troye moved to plug his phone in and rest a pillow in front of the computer for his head.
"Nighy night Troyeboy" Tyler breathed out
"sweet dreams Tilly" Troye said closing his eyes and resting into the pillows
——
"Sugar fudge!"
Troye shot up and looked at the computer screen to see the couch empty. It was 4:30 in the morning "Tilly are you okay? whats going on?" Troye said in a panicked voice
"Oh fuck, sorry I woke you up. I got up to pee and stubbed my toe on the edge of the freakin' couch and owww it hurts" Tyler whined pouting his lip
"Aw poor Tyty" Troye said smiling, his head still rested on the pillow as he squinted at the bright screen
"It hurts like a bitch" Tyler said and Troye giggled sleepily rolling his head to the other side
"Go back to sleep now Tilly, we need to start sleeping through the night" Troye said softly already falling asleep again
Tyler laid back down, "Thanks for staying on Skype with me" Tyler said with a yawn
"umhmm" Troye said softly with his eyes still closed nodding into the pillow
——
"pissst pissst Troye" A quiet voice woke Troye suddenly "Troye, are you awake" Troye sat up and looked at the screen surprised to see Allexys starring at him
"Lex what are you doing you are going to wake him" Troye whispered trying to look pasted her at Tyler's sleeping figure
"Well its 10 so we can go home and I am out of string for my necklaces so I want to leave" Allexys said crossing her arms "and he's my ride"
Troye tilted his head "Lex please let him sleep, you'll be home soon"
"Ugh fine" she whispered in a huff before stomping out of the room
Troye looked over Tyler's sleeping figure, soaking in the sight in front of him. Tyler taking a even breaths Troye smiled. There was no denying it to himself anymore. 'This boy' he thought 'this boy' was all that was ever in his mind. Tyler, his best friend and he loved him

It was a short one....sorry?
