Stand By You (Troyler AU)

A Little Something

Troye hummed along with the memorized words again. He was two weeks behind on posting a video to his channel, and he said that he would be back next week. To be honest he was perfectly aware that he never followed his upload schedule. Multimedia was ending and he needed to catch up on the videos that he did post. Tyler mentioned a few times how he should post a cover, he was nervous but he was going to keep it unlisted and only send it to Mamrie.

Troye sat in his apartment, Tyler was coming in an hour so he had until then to finish what he needed to do. The keyboard was placed in front of him with the the camera and microphone.

Just do it

Troye stared at the view finder on the camera. His own terrified face looking back at him. Was he really going to do this? What if Tyler was lying and he sounded like crap. Tyler was his boyfriend he was supposed to say nice things about him.

Stressed.

He was very very stressed. The school year had a few weeks left and the pressure for his junior year was on. All of the teachers reminding them how important next year was for college. How all the universities looked at your junior year of acceptance, that wasn't entirely true they looked at every year, but they concentrated on junior year.

Go out with a bang, his teachers said

Stress everywhere, long nights and early mornings. He had become obsessed with the idea of things being perfect. He had no control, he wanted it. He wanted to control everything but he felt like he controlled nothing. So he dove in head first and was immersed in the idea of perfection. Everything needed to be perfect.

"Lunch" Jackie called

Tyler huffed, and turned his attention back to his computer. He had a project in spanish due in 3 days. It was almost done, but it wash't perfect.

What would Troye say?

Tyler shook the thought, Troye would tell him to go to lunch. He didn't have time for that. He also needed to film a video, his 231 subscribers were expecting a video.

He started typing again, he would eat after this work was done. He couldn't push it off, it needed to get done. All of it, right now.

'TroyeSivan18 Uploaded a Video "A Little Something"'

Tyler smiled, he loved to watch Troye's videos. He was going to see Troye in a half hour. They hadn't seen each other for over 24 hours...that was a long time for them.

'JinglebellJessia mentioned you in a comment'

Tyler click on it, he loved when his subscribers linked him to videos they were always so funny or relatable. The video popped up and Tyler was surprised to see Troye's video on his screen.

"Jinglebell Jessica: Tyler Oakley+ is he talking about you?" Tyler stared at the comment. What was this person talking about? He clicked the play button.

"Hey! whats up you guys it Troye Sivan and todayyy is...different" the recoded voice flowed from the speakers

"So today I am going to be a cover inspired by my best friend. He convinced me that this was a good idea so if this ends up bad, I hate you" Troye giggled "I know you hate me too but still, this is for you" he cleared his throat and Tyler watched in amazement of Troye putting himself out there for the first time

"when I look into your eyes, it's like watching the night sky, or a beautiful sunrise. Well, there's so much they hold" Troye played a few notes on the keyboard

"And just like them old stars, I see that you've come so far, to be right where you are. How old is your soul?" Tyler watched in amazement, it was nothing short of perfect already

"Well, I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough. I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up.... And when you're needing your space, of some navigating. I'll be here patiently waiting, to see what you find" Troye picked up the tune on the keys, closing his eyes as he continued with passion

"'cause even the stars they burn, some even fall to the earth. We've got a lot to learn, God knows we're worth it. No, I won't give up" He inhaled deeply

"I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily, I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make. Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake. And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend for us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn. We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in, I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I aaaaamm"

"I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough. I'm giving you all my love. I'm still looking up, I'm still looking up. Well won't give up on us. God know I'm tough enough. We've got a lot to learn and god knows we're worth it"

Tyler is crying and he did know when it started or why but he watched his perfect man sang with passion and talent and the tears fell in response. Troye was special and talented and he didn't know what he did to deserve this perfect boy.

"I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough. I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up" The song faded as did the image as a smile fell onto Troye's face. His end music playing soon after.

Tyler wiped his cheeks and as he read through the comments on the video. Almost all positive. Some mentioned his name like the original comment that brought him to the video. Tyler noticed more comments on Jessica's original post

"JingelbellJessica: either way I ship it, Troyler"

"TiaGirl: jinglebelljessica+ omg me too #Troyler"

Tyler smiled...Troyler. Was that really going to be a thing? He wasn't even out to the people who watched his videos so how would they even know. Was Troye out on his channel?

"Jinglebell Jessica: All we need is for them to film together. that would make my life"

A/N:

Hey, All I did today was homework...writing this keeps me sane. I hope you all are going well I can't wait for this semester to be over. 

I have had this like murderous undertone to my drafts for this story but I got feedback from Jess that said, and I quote, "If you kill one of my babies I swear to god I will shove my foot so far up YOUR ass you'll choke on it" (lmao I'm still laughing as I type this out) SO obviously that won't be happening, you can thank her. 

If you have anything you want to happen in the story let me know, usually the suggestions are all from one person who just says 'troyler babies' (all in good time love bugs).

Okay, Good luck with your life

Katie :)
