Distant Shores; A Tyler Oakley & Connor Franta Fanfiction

Connor;

Back in Cali, after dragging ourselves off the plane and collecting our luggage, Tyler and I decided to take separate cabs and go back to our own apartments to get a few more hours of good solid sleep and then whoever woke up first would text the other one.

Standing in the middle of the airport while waiting for our luggage on the carousel, Tyler was yawning and rubbing his eyes and I couldn't help but smile. "This little cutie pie is my boyfriend" is all I could think. "Boyfriend"... that still sounded so weird. I leant close to him and our hands lightly brushed. It was difficult... I didn't want to 'hide' our relationship, but at the moment, it was our business and we wanted to discuss things further before we went fully public, and knowing that some of our subscribers or someone we knew might be in the airport was a possibility, we had to be careful.

When heading for the cabs outside the building, we headed down a short hallway, which was empty when we turned into it. I quickly grabbed Tylers hand, pulled him a little closer to me and planted a kiss right on those beautiful lips. "I just wanted to do that before we went outside" I said. Tyler smiled and I just gazed at him for a moment. Our intertwined hands sweetly swung together until we reached the door and then we discreetly separated them. We got into separate cabs and headed home.

After sleeping for what felt like 12 hours, I got up and the first thing I did was check my phone. No new messages... Tyler must not be up yet. For a second, just a second, I was so worried that he was awake and that he'd just forgotten to text me. My paranoia was starting to get the better of me. I just didn't have the confidence that Tyler had. I had to keep reminding myself that he wouldn't have said that he loved me if he didn't. I decided not to text him just yet, instead I jumped in the shower, got dressed, cleaned up my apartment a little and then flopped onto the couch with the TV on. I picked up my phone and text Tyler

"Morning Cutie Pie. Sleep well? Xx"

He text back about 20 minutes later

"Hey Big Daddy. Best. Nap. Ever. haha. You Okay? Xx"

"Haha Yeah I'm good. So you wanna come over? Or I can come to yours, if you want? Xx"

"Come on over babe, I'm too lazy to get up out of bed right now. P.S I'm half naked ;) haha Xx"

That made me smile. I pictured Tyler laying in his messy bed on his front just in his shorts and I felt a tingle all over my body. I wanted to race over there, rip of my clothes and get right into the bed beside him.

I picked up my phone, wallet, camera and keys and headed for the door. I drove over listening to my favourite radio station and singing along. I didn't usually sing in the car, but hey, I was happy. For the first time in a very long time, I was really and truly Happy.
