Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Party

Tyler pulled up to Troye's apartment complex and Troye walked down wearing a cute black and grey jumper and light wash jeans. His curls were loose and slightly damp as he hopped down the stairs to Tyler's car. Troye was looking down at his phone tapping at the screen, probably texting Connor. "I like your new nail color" Tyler said with a smile as he got out of the car. Connor's house wasn't far, so they were going to walk.

"Thank you" Troye said with a smile lacing his hand with Tyler's as they set off towards Connor's. Troye's heart was beating quickly as he walked chewing his gum nervously. Tyler slowly swung their hands between their bodies and slipped his phone out of his pocket plugging one of the headphones in his ear and handing the other to Troye.

Troye listened to the song playing as they traveled two blocks down to Connor's house. Tyler loved to show Troye new music and they never passed on a moment to talk about the song. "I think you would sound great singing this" Tyler said quietly

Troye looked at him and rolled his eyes "Tyler stop, I do not sound like this" Troye said quietly

"But you are amazing, you should sing more" Tyler said

"Maybe someday" Troye said as they made their way up Connor's driveway "Promise?" Tyler said suddenly "Yes Ty" Troye responded

Connor suddenly pulled the door open in front of them and pulled them into the house. Tyler, Troye, and Connor walked into the living room where Hannah, Ingrid, Caspar, and Joe sat playing Cards Against Humanity.

Troye walked in and sat on the floor in front of the couch and Tyler came to sit next to him. Troye draped his arm over Tyler's shoulder with a smile. Caspar dealt them both cards as Connor answered another knock at the door.

"Oooo Connie's boy is here" Hannah hollered jokingly. Connor whipped around "Shut up" he said and the living room full of teens started laughing loudly.

They heard light talking as Joe read out the next card "Daddy, why is mommy crying" Joe read off and Caspar laughed while looking through his cards. Each person selected a card and slid it to Joe not paying any mind as Connor and is boyfriend walked into the living room and joined the group.

"Daddy, why is mommy crying" Joe read again "anal beads" Joe said and they laughed lightly "masturbation" this caused the group to laugh a little louder "The Pope, hot coffee" Joe paused at the last two cards "a defective condom or daddy issues" Joe finished

"Anal beads, definably that choice" someone said, the voice oddly familiar to Tyler who snapped up to look

Korey?

"Na mate, masturbation. Who's card is it?" Joe said

No one answered and Tyler sat in shock as he looked at Korey not really able to speak up as he just looked at his old best friend sitting in the arms of Connor. "love, was that your card" Troye said to Tyler who seemed to be in his own little world "what...um...oh..yeah" Tyler said softly grabbing the black card from Joe and rushing off the kitchen where no one could see him.

Troye came in following him right away, not even needing to ask if something was wrong because it was written on Tyler's face. "You look like you saw a ghost Ty, what going on?" Troye asked

"T-thats Korey" Tyler said plainly

"I know, its Con's boyfriend I've met him before he's really nice and funny" Troye said not really understanding what the problem was

"No like thats the Korey my dad yelled at" Tyler said beginning to pace in the room

All the pieces began to click in Troye's mind. The time when Connor met Korey, Korey had said that he went though something with his best friend and that now they don't talk anymore. And how Korey asked so many questions when Troye mentioned Tyler the first time. Tyler continued to walk back and forth in the kitchen
