Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Bathing Suit

-two days later-

"Mom I going to pick up Troye" Tyler called as he hopped down the stairs. Troye was at work and Tyler demanded to pick him up before they went back to Troye's apartment to go to Rec Center again. Tyler whipped around when he heard Allexys and his mom laughing whilst he slipped his shoes one. Why were they laughing at him?!

Tyler turned to see his mom sitting on the couch with Maddox and Allexys was sitting at the plastic table in the corner next to Troye who was smiling at him. "How did you get here?" Tyler giggled moving across the living room

"I picked him up while I was getting groceries and he was coming here anyway so I took the liberty to bring the boy to you" Jackie laughed

"and then Allexys was with her and she wanted to have a tea party, so here I am" Troye smiled "I was going to come up and get you but Lex wanted to do this first" Troye said raising his hand for Tyler to see

"She painted your nails! Troye you didn't have to let her do that" Tyler gasped turning to glare at Allexys. Troye pushed Tyler's knee glaring back at him

"I wanted her to do it, calm down, I like it" Troye said raising his hand above his face to admire the nail polish. Tyler turned to look at the nice light blue nail polish. "Well it is cute" Tyler grumbled sitting criss cross next to Troye

"YAY TYTY NEXT" Allexys yelled jumping up to go get more nail polish from her room

Troye laughed watching her scamper up the stairs. Tyler looked at Troye "she is not painting that shit on my nails" Tyler said making Troye roll his eyes "let her do a clear coat at least, come on she's having a good time" Troye said pouting his lip at Tyler

"Stop" Tyler said and Troye blinked innocently "stooooop Troooye" Tyler whined and Troye pushed his lip out further. "Ugh fine." Tyler said "just stop with that face I can't" Tyler laughed shoving Troye playfully and Troye sat up proudly

"You need to stop being so adorable without even trying" Tyler said rolling his eyes

Troye laughed "it's not an accident, I know what I'm up too" Troye said with a wink in Tyler's direction. Before Tyler could respond Allexys was back from her room holding a whole basket of variously colored nail polishes.

Tyler collapsed onto Troye's couch pulling out Troye's labtop so they could watch a movie. Tyler scrolled through the list and read through the horror movies, Troye needed a good scare for using the kitten face on him. "Get up Tilly we are not watching movies just yet" Troye said holding a bathing suit and shirt out for Tyler to change into

"But I found a cute movie called 'The Boy' and I want to watch it with you, and uh...I don't swim" Tyler said. Troye grabbed his laptop and closed it "well it's a good thing we aren't swimming then, isn't it? now go change" Troye said shoving the clothes at his chest

Tyler sighed and took the clothes from Troye's hand. It was just Troye, and they weren't going out to a place lots of people could see, and he was going to be wearing a shirt. He had nothing to worry about. But why was is heart beating so fast?

he's gonna see your lumps

Tyler shook his head, he was not letting the little voices win this time, he wasn't going to ruin another night for Troye. Tyler took his shirt off and slipped on the one Troye handed him. Tyler then slipped on his bathing suit, noting that Troye had grabbed clothes for Tyler from his own room without Tyler even noticing.

pump

these shorts don't suit your kankles

Tyler shook his head, it was going to be fine. It was just Troye, nice, kind, funny, not at all mean Troye. The Troye who would do everything to make sure that he was okay. Tyler looked in the mirror, he was okay.

and fat

shut up

you know I'm right

Tyler wanted to cry, here he was arguing with himself in Troye's bathroom. He was afraid to walk out because he didn't want Troye to look at him, he didn't want anyone to look at him. He wanted to go home.

Tyler looked at his reflection, but he hated the person looking back at him. He wanted to love the person in the mirror but that he didn't he hated him, he hated himself. He hated the clothes that Troye gave him, he hated feeling that insecure about his body. He hated breathing at this point, he wanted to wrap himself up in blankets and sleep for days. Now he was crying. He didn't want to do what Troye planned if it meant having to wear his bathing suit. He wanted to wear his sweats and oversized jumper and cocoon himself on the bed.

Its really rainy by me right now so I'm feeling very drab and dreary and bleck, so blame this chapter on the weather.
