Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Tea

2:30am

Tyler read the time again looking at the digital clock on his night stand. He had been shifting for the past hour and fifteen minutes trying to find sleep but he couldn't rest peacefully. He sat up spotting Troye curled in the duvet near the wall, his pink lips agape slightly as he slept calmly. Tyler pulled the duvet off himself and pulled it up to Troye's neck so that only his head was showing.

Tyler scooted out of the bed and grabbed his laptop from the duffle bag on the floor. He made his way over the the couch and sunk into the soft surface pulling open his twitter and tumblr at the same time. He had been gaining quite a few followers on twitter from his videos, most of which were younger and lived far away from him but it was still really cool.

@tyleroakley sleepless nights :(

Tyler switched to tumblr as Troye's phone sounded with a small pang. Tyler scrolled through his dashboard thinking about what had happened when he arrived home. It wasn't the first time his father tried to give them a gift to make up for skipping out on them. Allexys doesn't see that as the reason for the gift, she shouldn't have to, she is still only 11 and shouldn't have to deal with the complications of her parents divorce. Todd should not being doing this to Allexys or Jackie, they didn't deserve it. Tyler didn't care what his dad thought of him personally, more than likely the feeling was mutual, but his mother and sister didn't have to deal with his stupid shit. All Allexys wanted was to go out and get tea, but Todd couldn't do that so instead he tried to buy her forgiveness.

The longer Tyler sat there the more annoyed he became, scrolling through Tumblr was no longer a reasonable distraction. Tyler tuned to look over the back of the couch as Troye shifted in his sleep. Tyler opened up an new tab on the internet and began searching for ways to rid himself of his biggest stressor

'Emancipation process in Michigan'

Hundreds of different sources came up as soon as he pressed enter. All of the sources available for him to free himself from having to visit Todd every other weekend, this upcoming weekend included. Tyler clicked on the first link that told him about the steps he would need to take to be emancipated from his parents, Troye was emancipated so Tyler could be too. There were only a few stipulations, one Tyler needed to be able to support himself financially and two if he was emancipated that mean from Todd and Jackie...

"Ty?....Tilly come back to bed" Troye said slowly sleep evident in his raspy voice. Tyler turned his face to look at the bed where Troye sat leaning against the wall already falling back to sleep sitting up. Tyler felt the irritation melt away as he observed the adorable way Troye was jolting himself awake when his head swooped down in slumber "Troye you are gonna hurt your self, lay down" Tyler said smiling as his adorable boyfriend

his boyfriend

"Not until y-you.....come and....lay with me" Troye said pushing through the words and trying not to fall asleep

Tyler rolled his eyes "You're one suborn son of a bitch Sivan" Tyler said. Troye smiled his head lolling with his eyes closed as a grin appeared on his face "You love it" Troye said and Tyler chuckled "I do"

Tyler closed his laptop leaving the tabs open so he could continue what he was doing in the morning. He approached the bed and scooped Troye by the waist so they were both laying down. Troye snuggled into Tyler's hold and reached to pull the duvet over their bodies, being quick to tangle their legs together before drifting to sleep in Tyler's arms. Tyler kissed his temple softly "Sweet dreams love" Tyler said softly

——

Tyler woke up again before Troye noticing that it was a little past 10 o'clock in the morning. Troye was fully asleep in his arms still, snoring softly as usual. Tyler kissed the side of his neck and Troye crinkled his nose and shrugged his shoulder. "Troye" Tyler said shaking his shoulder

"Mmm" Troye hummed in an annoyed tone wiggling away from Tyler and Tyler scoffed at him

"Lets go, get up I have a plan for today" Tyler said pulling the duvet away from Troye a bit. Troye snapped down to grab the warm covers "five. more. minutes" Troye said

Tyler got up and rolled his eyes "I am going down stairs to find Lex, I will be back and you will be awake" Tyler said with a giggle and Troye nodded his head into the pillow silently agreeing

Tyler hopped down the stairs in his pajama pants stopping on the middle floor of his house to peer into Allexys room to find her. Tyler peered inside and found the room empty, he quickly retreated passing Connor's room with his distant snoring coming from inside. Tyler smiled, if it was up to Troye and Connor they would sleep the days away. Tyler walked into the living room where Jackie sat with a few other siblings

"Ma where is Lex?" Tyler asked

Jackie turned around, turning her attention away from his younger family members "Well good morning to you too, she is in the kitchen looking at her fish" Jackie said

Tyler smiled "Morning Mom, and thank you" he said walking into the kitchen and spotting Allexys kneeling on a stool pulled up the the counter. She was gazing at the fish swimming back and forth in the bowl

"Hey Lex, wanna do something with Troye and I today?" Tyler asked

Allexys turned around and hopped up off the stool "Um YES" she said with a huge smile on her face. Tyler smiled "Okay well pick out somethin' cute and we will leave as soon as Troye and I are ready" Tyler said and Allexys walked out of the kitchen with an excited grin an her face heading up the stairs

——

35 minutes after shaking Troye awake and forcing him to get up and get dressed Tyler and Troye were finally ready to leave the house with Allexys. Calling into the house to inform Jackie that the three of them were leaving.

Allexys hopped into the back seat of the car wearing her favorite pair of jeans and a blue flowered shirt. Tyler opened the door for Troye to climb into the front seat and once he was inside he close it and walked around to get in the drivers seat. Tyler drove off heading to Allexys' surprise knowing that he and Troye were going to make her day.

Tyler noticed out of the corner of his eye when Troye placed his hand palm up on the cup holder section of the center console. Tyler battled on whether or not to grab his hand as he continued into the center of town. Tyler finally reached down and wove their fingers together deciding that it was out of Allexys' view so he might as well do it.

Tyler pulled into the parking lot waiting for Allexys to read the sign on the building. Troye looked out the window and read the sign 'The Tea Exchange'. Troye couldn't hide his smile, Tyler was going out of his way to make up for the mess his father created even though Lex never asked and she was perfectly content.

"Oh my god" Allexys said "Yay we are going to get tea!"

Tyler laughed as he parked the car and out, Allexys leading the two boys into the tea shop excitedly and pulling the door open quickly to walk inside

"You are quiet the family man Tyler Oakley" Troye said holding the door for Tyler as the both walked inside the colorfully decorated tea cafe
