Stand By You (Troyler AU)

Roller Coaster

         

Tyler sat squished in the way back of Jackie's van. It held them all, barely, as they drove to the school for Allexys' talent show. She was doing a dance with her ballet club and the whole family was coming. Tyler and Troye had a small duffle bag in the trunk along with Allexys and Connor, it was his dad's weekend and Todd was going to take them home from the show. Tyler was nervous, he didn't know how is dad was going to react to this whole thing. Troye insisted on coming, Ken was meeting them there in Tyler's car.

"Love, calm down" Troye whispered drawing shapes on Tyler's skin as they drove with Connor and Penelope in their row in the van. Troye kissed his temple softly trying to think of ways to slow Tyler's rapidly beating heart.

"Please promise" Tyler swallowed "Promise that if my dad is rude you won't leave"

"I'm not going anywhere" Troye said "I'm not going to leave because of your dad" Troye promised. They were whispering, trying to keep their conversation private in the car full of people.

"I'm so scared" Tyler admitted looking at Troye his heart beating to fast to be healthy. Troye picked up Tyler's hand and placed it over is own heart. "Ty deep breaths make your heart beat like mine" Troye said

"I-I f-f-feel like I'm gonna pass out, I'm gonna pass out Troye" Tyler said trying not to make a scene in the loud car "No, Ty. You're not, you are panicking. Take deep breaths everything is okay" Troye said firmly

"I can't do this, this was a bad idea. You need to go home with my mom and Ken when the show is over" Tyler said still freaking out

Troye grasped his hand firmly "I am going with you. Everything is going to be okay. Alright Ty? Everything will work out" Troye said, he watched as Tyler's breath slowed down "How about we take your car when we drive to your dad's place, we can get some alone time"

Troye wiped his hand over his face, that sounded amazing. It would give him one last moment to savor before his dad fucked it all up.

Troye took the flowers out of the back of the car and returned back inside the middle school. He and Tyler had picked out pink daises to give to Allexys after her show, they were her favorite.

Troye sat back in his seat next to Tyler, he got the aisle seat because Tyler knew he didn't like to be trapped. Todd and Meghan at arrived a little late to she show, slipping in after the curtain came down for the first time. He was sat across the aisle from Troye and ever since he arrived Tyler hadn't touched him.

Allexys came tramping down the busy aisle in her tights. She bounced to Todd first giving him a hug as he kissed her forehead "You did amazing sweetheart" Todd said and Allexys beamed before shuffling over to Tyler and Troye.

"Lex you killed it" Troye smiled standing up to give her a hug. "Ty and I got these for you" he said handing the flowers to her

"Oh Tro they are perfect" She said with a smile wrapping him up in another hug. Tyler smiled, admiring their relationship, Allexys really looked up to the younger of the two boys. Out of habit Troye retreated to Tyler's side to reach for his hand. But Tyler moved away too quickly, fear of his fathers gaze looming over him.

"Alright crew lets get some food in these tummies" Jackie said with a smile ushering the group of people out of the row so they could all go get dinner together. Troye could already see the panic in Tyler's eyes. Suddenly Troye's phone dinged

Tilly❤️: They suck when they are in the same room, this is going to be a disaster

To Tilly: Deep breaths love, everything will be fine.
