It was just a typical day. I woke up, around 1 pm and sat on my laptop for the rest of the day. Like I normally do. I checked twitter to see if anything new was happening. I did the same with tumblr. There was a couple of funny posts, which I reposted, but other than that, nothing. Tyler hadn't posted anything in a couple of days. Which I found really strange. Usually he would post several posts every day, but now he rarely showed up on my dashboard. I looked up as I heard a knock on my door.

"Yeah?" I muttered, without leaving the computer screen with my eyes.

"Would you like me to make you some lunch too?" My little brother Tyde stuck his head into my room.

"No thanks, I'm not that hungry. I was just about to make a video anyway" I answered. As soon as he was gone, I checked the time. Half past two.

"Shit" I exclaimed, realising I was supposed to make the video and upload it ages ago. I had this problem with procastination. I kept pussing things away and saying to myself I would do it some other time, but at the end of the day, I never did it. I was used to it by now, but my family had a hard time accepting it. They didn't believe me when I said I just couldn't help it. Cause that's what it was; I couldn't really control it. It just kind of happened.

I set up the camera and the light at my desk. Though, I didn't bother to put on some pants; the camera didn't go that far down. I looked at myself in the mirror and fixed my hair. I always fixed my hair. It was another one of my 'bad habits'. Though, I didn't look at it as bad habits. I liked to think of them as special traits. That way it sounded as if I was really special (in a good way, of course). However, when I informed my family about how I would prefer to call them 'special traits', they just laughed in my face.

The video was filmed and done and before I went downstairs, I promised to myself that I would edit it tomorrow. Although, I was nearly convinced that I would just push it away again.

I walked down the stairs and when I reached the bottom I could spot Tyde sitting on the sofa watching TV. I wasn't quite sure what he was watching, but it looked like some sort of food programme. Rolling my eyes, I went into the kitchen.

"Oh, look who's up!" Tyde childishly said from the living room. I ignored him and continued to prepare my lunch. I wasn't really great at cooking and such, so I went for the cereal. Grabbing it, I realized last time I had eaten it, it didn't really taste good. I opened up the fridge and looked for something that could make it more tasteful. Eventually I found some berries and a banana hidden in a drawer.

"What's that?" Tyde said behind me. I hadn't realized he was right behind me and I jumped a tiny bit. I sighed when he chuckled lowly.

"Cereal" I answered his question. Couldn't he see for himself what it was that I was making? I mean, it wasn't that hard.

"I know that. I mean, why are you putting berries and a banana in?" he asked, correcting himself this time.

"Why not?" I sent him a look with my eyebrows raised. He then seemed to back off a bit.

"I don't know. Jesus, Troye, am I not allowed to even ask you a question now?" he muttered, walking back to the sofa and then throwing himself in it.

The next day, after editing and uploading the video, I was laying on the floor, doing absolutely nothing. Suddently my phone beeped, letting me know I had a new message. I ignored it, thinking it wasn't something important I had to answer right away. Then the phone started blowing up like crazy and I got up to check on it. It was thousands of notifications from twitter and tumblr and facebook and even snapchat. Shocked, I unlocked it and opened up twitter. Once the app had opened, I quickly read through the first messages I saw, trying to understand what was going on. My eyes widened as I read the messages.

"Troye! Congrats!"

"Did u see what happened?"

"I'm so proud of u!"

I lifted my eyebrows confused to what everyone was talking about. What was all this about? I soon found out as I continued to skim through the tweets. My eyes went wide.

"Tyler retweeted u! So proud!"

I screamed and dropped my phone. It landed on my floor with a loud bump. I could almost already see cracks it had made, but it didn't even cross my mind at this point. I was almost certain I was shaking. Tyler? As in Oakley? Did he really retweet me? I couldn't believe it. Soon my door opened and in came Tyde.

"What is going on in here? And why were you screaming like a girl?".

I tried to speak, but it was like the words didn't want to come out. Tyde lifted his eyebrows confused and expected an answer. Too bad I couldn't speak, I thought. He then walked over to my phone which were still blowing up with messages. First, he looked at the cracked screen with a frown. I had promised to give away my phone to him when I got a new one. I could see that he wasn't so keen on that now. Then, when he understood what it was, a small smile crossed his lips. He then looked up at me.

"Well this is great, Troye. Now he finally knows who you are! I'm happy for you" he smiled. Tyde walked over to me and hugged me quick. I knew how much Tyde hated to hug people. He was one of those people who just found it awkward. Because of that, we rarely hugged. So, when he now hugged me, I really appreciated the moment. I didn't even feel sad when he pulled away so fast.

"Oh my god! What is even happening right now?" I said, covering my mouth with my hands, still in shock. I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts. This was just too much for me to handle. I snapped my phone out of my brothers hands and began reading all of the messages. Apparently Tyler had retweeted my tweet about the new video about five minutes ago. I didn't even notice when Tyde left the room.

The rest of the day I was unable to do anything at all. I just stayed in my bed and stalked Tyler on twitter and tumblr. I wondered how he had found my video and why he had retweeted my tweet. It was just one of my normal videos about me talking about things. Finally, at 3 am, I was so exhausted I fell asleep with my phone in my hands and my mind occupied with Tyler.
