That night Connor had for once not fallen asleep on the Australian's bed, when they got home each fell asleep on their respective beds, they also had fallen asleep with ease considering they had now no secrets between each other. Well except for that small fact that they are infatuated with one another and even the slightest touch made one another blush.
Troye sat up in his bed and looked beside him to where Connor slept on the air mattress. Troye smiled at how adorable he looked and then smiled wider realising that he could actually say that to himself that he indeed was crushing on Connor. He still was relieved Connor didn't figure out who he was talking about the night before. He didn't make it that obvious apparently. Troye thought it was cute Connor was totally oblivious to Troye's actions yet still disappointed Connor didn't even seem to like him like that anyway. Troye was still convinced all of Connor's actions were totally platonic. Troye left it this way figuring it was best not to ruin their friendship with conflicted emotions.
Troye realised he was just watching Connor sleep, it sounded creepy even to Troye's ears and he was bored of the silence in his room. Troye then stood on top of his bed to jump off onto Connor's. Leaving Connor to be pushed up into the air, resulting in him to flail off the mattress. Troye was in hysterics but Connor was utterly confused as to what was going on. In fact he lay on the carpet flooring and pulled the blanket right back over himself, just for Troye to pull it right off, still laughing at his own antics.
"Troyyyeee," Connor groaned.
"Come on wake up Connie!" Connor blushing slightly at the nickname but lay still refusing to get himself off the floor. He should have got up.
Troye then started to tickle Connor. Connor burst out laughing. He tried to move and get out of Troye's reach but was too weak from all the tickling to stand on his own feet, let alone push himself up.
"Stop Tro!"
"Are you gonna get up?" he said still tickling Connor's sides.
"I'm going! I'm going!" he said Troye releasing him and pulling him by his hand to stand up.
Connor went first into Troye's bathroom to go shower while Troye went downstairs to have breakfast.
"Morning mum!" Troye said cheerfully.
"Morning Tok, someone's in a good mood," she said ever so grateful to see her son smiling.
"Yeah..."Troye said trailing off still smiling to himself as he placed bread in the toaster.
"Why is that? Is it a result from all the laughter I heard upstairs?"
"Connor is my best friend ma; I guess he just makes me happy," Troye said still beaming, Laurelle oblivious that there was more to it.
"Well then Connor should be here all the time, it's so nice to see you like this my boy."
"I'm happy that makes you happy ma," he said coming up to her to give her a hug and sweet kiss on the cheek.
Troye got out the toast and started to spread nutella over it, two slices for Connor as well. The older boy just then walked down the stairs. Troye gave him his breakfast and they sat and ate in the living room. Tyde then walked down the stairs.
"Hello Connor!" he said rushing over to Connor who set down his breakfast to give Tyde a hug.
"Morning Troye." he said smiling to his brother over on the sofa, still slightly wary of his older brother.
"And me!" Troye yelled in a sarcastic offended tone (he truly was) reaching out for his little brother, making grabby hands. Tyde smiled widely and ran up to Troye to hug him. As they hugged Connor looked over to them. He envisioned himself as Troye and Tyde to be Brandon. His heart pinged but still was happy to see Troye finally interacting with his family. He smiled to Troye as Troye smiled back as he let Tyde go to get his own breakfast.
