Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Why Not Pt. 3

Troye walked down the stairs to his apartment set on walking to see Tyler. He was deep in concentration thinking about what he was going to say when they saw each other. Suddenly the ground under his feet was gone and Troye bounced down the last few stairs on his stomach. His knees and elbows took most of the blow as she tumbled to a stop at the bottom of the stairs. He sat up, his whole body aching as he pushed himself up.

He tried to walk forward but his knees buckled slightly causing him to wobble as he advanced. He groaned in pain and his head throbbed. Troye stated to to cry again, he was frustrated that he couldn't walk to Tyler's but he was also in excruciating pain. Both his knees were throbbing as he walked back up the stairs, he reached his hand to his face above his eyebrow. He looked down at his fingers that had blood on them 'Damn it' he thought

Troye limped up the stairs back into his dark apartment. He slumped onto the couch. He looked down at his phone, Tyler hadn't called him again. Tyler was either more mad at him or asleep and Troye couldn't decide what was worse. He just didn't want Tyler to go to bed mad at him. Troye push off the couch and walked onto the balcony again, the crisp air on his face.

Troye slid down the wall, taking a seat on the floor of the balcony. His head was stinging and now his knees were stiff and hurt as he moved. He opened his mouth in pain as he stretched his legs out. Troye closed his eyes as he sat there, enjoying the silence. He kept his eyes closed 'I need to call Tyler' he thought, soaking in the blackness. He shifted to reach his phone, but his body was sore so he paused to adjust. His mind clouded, suddenly his only desire was sleeping. He felt himself dozing, his body finally giving into sleep as he though he heard knocks on the door. But surly those knocks weren't for him.

Tyler peered out onto the balcony but it appeared empty. He walked out, feeling the crisp air, wishing that he didn't listen when Troye told him to leave earlier that night. If he didn't leave he wouldn't have been in this mess right now, the two of them would be curled up in Troye's bed sleeping. He wish he could sleep now and that everything would be fine, but alias he needed to find Troye and make sure he was safe.

Tyler turned walk inside and saw Troye, sleeping on the floor of the balcony. His pants ripped at the knees and head marked with blood. Tyler rushed over to him, a wave of relief washed over him when he noted that Troye was breathing. Tyler didn't know what he was expecting but he was just relieved that Troye was here and alive. Tyler bent down and scooped him up, he was barely strong enough to carry Troye onto the couch, as Tyler placed him down Troye groaned in pain.

Tyler moved quickly too the bathroom, grabbing two soft towels and running one under lukewarm water. He grabbed the hydrogen peroxide and gauze out from under the sink and walked back out to Troye. Troye was letting out soft grumbles as he laid on the sofa.

Tyler pressed the damp towel onto Troye's head, carefully wiping the dried blood off of his face. Troye winced as Tyler wiped his face softly. "owww" Troye grumbled lowly, clearly not fully awake

"I know love, but I have to clean it" Tyler said moving the towel back to Troye's face

"Tilly?" Troye opened eyes to see Tyler kneeling beside him as he laid on the couch "W-what are you doing here" Troye asked

"I was worried because you didn't answer my phone calls, so I came to check on you. What the hell happened?" Tyler asked still patting the cuts on Troye's face.

Troye pushed Tyler's hand that was cleaning the cuts away because it was hurting, "I went to go to your house but I tripped down the stairs" Troye said "My head's okay, my knees are killing me though"

Tyler glanced down at the ripped fabric, he could see the raw skin underneath. Tyler sighed, "I have to clean it, or it will get infected" Tyler said. Troye shook his head "No, no I'm fine" Troye said

Tyler shook his head, he wasn't taking no for answer. He pushed Troye's torso back down so that Troye was resting on the couch and Tyler rolled up the legs of Troye's sweatpants. Troye hissed as the material was pulled from his skin. Tyler muttered quick apologizes everytime Troye cried out in pain.

"This is going to hurt" Tyler said pouring some hydrogen peroxide onto the second towel. Troye shook his head acknowledging Tyler's words. Tyler dabbed Troye's left knee carefully as he spoke.

"So you were going to walk all the way to my house?" Tyler asked with a smirk on his face still being extremely gentile on the cuts and scrapes

Troye scoffed, "Of course I was, I didn't mean to get so mad at you...I just had things on my mind. I didn't mean to lash out at you" he said

"What kind of things" Tyler inquired raising his eyebrow before moving to Troye's right knee.

Troye blushed "Ya know thing things" Troye replied smiling at Tyler who was concentrating on helping Troye

Tyler giggled, "but then you fell down the stairs coming to see me" Tyler said

"Yup" Troye said popping at the 'p' sound and giggling 

Tyler looked at Troye through his lashes "You fell for me" Tyler blushed at his own statement

Troye's laugh filled the room "More like I fell because of you" he said

"Same thing" Tyler said in a sing song voice, now wrapping clean gauze around Troye's legs. Tyler rolled Troye's pant legs back down.

"Is it though?" Troye asked smiling and Tyler smiled back "I hate you" Tyler said giggling

"I hate you too" Troye beamed, pushing himself to a sitting position, Tyler sat next to him and wrapped an arm over Troye's shoulder.

Troye turned to face Tyler "I don't know abut you but I am ready to sleep" Troye said, just then Tyler yawned causing Troye to laugh "Me too" Tyler said

Troye staggered to a standing position, his body literally aching as he stood up from the couch. Tyler placed a firm arm around Troye's waist and placed a hand on Troye's hip, holding him steady and walking back to Troye's bedroom.

They climbed into Troye's bed and Troye curled against Tyler's frame. Troye was freezing but Tyler's body heat was warming him as they laid under the blankets. Soon Troye felt his eyes drifting shut, Tyler rubbing circles in his back. Troye's eyes finally fell shut as he felt a soft kiss on his hair line.

"Good Night Tilly" Troye mumbled into Tyler's chest letting sleep take him over "Nighty night Troyesivan" Tyler replied
