(Also listen to the song because it goes perfectly with this chapter and I didn't even plan that)

Third Person:

After Connor paid for their dinner, but not without arguing with Troye about it first, they left. The silence in the car giving Troye time to think about what Connor had told him.

"I'll wait as long as it takes."

The words swarming around Troye's head, still trying to grasp the fact that they were said and that Connor was the one that said them.

Troye's life was messier than a teenagers bedroom. Why would someone like Connor want to be a part of it?

"I hope I didn't make things awkward between us," Connor said, noticing the thoughtful look on Troye's face, although not regretting he had said anything. Troye deserves someone that can love him better than that asshole who left him. And Connor may not be the perfect match, he at least hoped that Troye would allow him try.

"No, I just...things are kind of complicated right now." Connor nodded in understanding sincerely hoping that his confession didn't add to Troye's complications.

"Take your time," was all Connor said but as much as Troye wanted to believe his words, he didn't want to get his hopes up. He knew Connor said that he would wait however long it took for Troye to get over Joe but he also knew that eventually people stop waiting. They give up and eventually Connor would too.

-

"We're here," Connor said as he pulled to the curb and killed the engine. Troye yawned, deciding that he was ready for bed and got out of the car. Connor following his actions and walked Troye to the front door.

"I had fun tonight," Troye said as he unlocked the door, and though he couldn't see his face, Connor knew he was being sincere. Or at least he was hoping.

"Good, so did I. We should do it again sometime." Troye nodded and opened the door.

"Yeah. Good night." Connor smiled and gently grabbed Troye's hand and pulled him close to peck his cheek. It was brief but made Connor wonder what it would be like to kiss his lips and never stop. Troye's skin was warm beneath his lips and when Connor pulled back he knew it was because he was blushing. His lips slightly parted and his eyes staring into Connor's.

"Good night." And with that he walked back to his car and drive off. Troye's heart and stomach a fluttering mess.

Two days after their dinner, Tyler and Korey had come back. They caught up in everything the other had missed and Korey told Troye about the hot piece of ass Tyler had met while they were away.

Troye told them about his ultrasound as well as bits and pieces of his date with Connor. Thankfully none of them asked for more details than what they already heard though he knew Tyler was dying for the gossip.

As the days passed they fell into a comfortable routine that began with Korey making breakfast and ended with reruns of Lost.

Recently though, Connor had been over more frequently as well. Not that Troye was complaining but he felt that his blonde friend had much to do with it. But again, he wasn't complaining.

Troye did enjoy the company that Connor had to offer. Whether it was just talking about pointless crap or watching a movie and falling asleep on his shoulder, Troye enjoyed the attention and Connor was more than willing to give it to him.

Their friendship increased as the days went by and Korey and Tyler were already planning their wedding behind their backs. Watching from the kitchen as they sat on the couch, both in lazy Sunday clothes with Troye rubbing his swollen belly, his head on Connor's shoulder as they watched Chopped on tv.

They were being so domestic with out even knowing it and it was hard to believe that they had only met a month ago.

Troye was slowly getting better, his wounds nearly healed. But it was those days where his mind went back to when he was living in London, sharing a home and life with Joe, where his wounds would open once more preventing him from being fully healed.

And it was when he was scrolling through his Instagram, still recievjng feed from Joe when he stopped at a picture of him with another guy. He was tall and lanky, with wild dirty blonde hair and goofy smile. Troye's heart clenched, his eyes burning with un shed tears as he stared at the picture, his eyes reading over the tags beneath it: #date #happy #fun #dinner #inlove

It was the last tag where he lost it. So this was the guy that Joe had left him for. Denied that the child Troye was expecting was his. All for this guy?

Frustrated and confused, Troye threw his phone against the wall and cried into his pillow. Pissed and upset, he cried until he couldn't anymore. Joe was happy, but why couldn't Troye be too?

-

An hour or more later, Troye was still in bed. Sniffling and staring at the shattered screen of his phone. There was a knock on his door and then it opened. He assumed that it was Tyler, offering him food and was ready to tell him to go away but was surprised to see Connor. A small smile on his face as he stepped over Troye's phone on the ground and closed the door.

The word "leave" on the tip of his tongue but he was too tired to talk. No words were exchanged as Connor stepped closer and climbed in the king sized bed behind Troye. His body was warm through his clothes and Troye closed his eyes as he felt Connor wrap an arm around his waist, his thump lightly rubbing Troye's pregnant belly.

He appreciated that Connor didn't ask what had happened or what was wrong and just laid there with him.

Some minutes passed when Connor finally spoke. His voice gentle, only above a whisper. "Are you okay?" Troye opened his eyes, unsure himself if he was okay. He was angry, hurt and sad. So no, he wasn't okay. But he didn't tell Connor. He just placed his hand over Connor's and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Just hold me," he whispered and so Connor did. Not planning to let go any time soon and once again, Troye's wound began to heal.
