Where Is Sami? {Troyler Au}

Five

Tyler and Troye stood in front of Alfred's Kitchen with their hands linked. They haven't even left the house on Sami's birthday in seven years and yet here they were standing outside a restaurant going to eat dinner with three people they had never met. Tyler didn't know if he'd e able to keep himself together through the whole meal, especially is Meralyn resembles Sami in any way.

Tyler took a deep breath before clenching his jaw and beginning to walk forward. Troye stayed in his spot causing Tyler to stop in his tracks. "Tilly, stop doing that." Troye said caressing Tyler's jaw. Troye has to constantly remind Tyler to stop clenching his jaw, it isn't good for him. "We can go home if you want." Troye didn't say it out loud but he secretly hoped Tyler would want to go home.

"No, I'm okay." Tyler paused momentarily, "I can do this." They started into the restaurant stopping as they read the 'please seat yourself' sign. Neither of them knew what Hannah, Ingrid, or Marelyn looked like.

They glanced at each other and then around the seating area. They were looking for two women, around the same age as themselves, with a child. "I don't see them, maybe we should go." Tyler turned to leave with Troye right behind him.

Troye stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder, "Tyler? Troye?" They both turned around to see the owner of the unfamiliar voice. It was Hannah, tyler presumed, she was slightly shorter than himself. she had shortish blonde hair and blue eyes, she actually looked like a fun and laid back person. "Hey guys, I'm Hannah. Ingrid and I are sat over here, care to join us?" Troye and Tyler smiled softly greeting Hannah and following her to a table. "Marelyn couldn't join us, she just had to have dinner with her friend. This is Ingrid." Hannah said stopping in front of a woman, Ingrid.

She had dark brown hair that wasn't quite shoulder length and she had brown eyes. Troye and Tyler greeted her as well before joining her at the table. "How are you guys?" Ingrid asked trying to be polite. Troye took a sip of the water sitting in front of him.

"We've been better." Tyler chuckled sadly.

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have asked that. I feel so bad. We just wanted to make your day brighter and-" Ingrid started rambling.

Troye gave her a small smile, she hasn't done anything wrong but he played along for her sake. "It's okay, you were just trying to be polite. We understand you didn't mean to." Ingrid smiled apologetically.

They sat quietly for a few moments before their waitressed came to take their orders. "What inspires you guys to keep pushing forward? To keep living?" They had hardly spoken and Ingrid was already asking them deep questions.

"Probably death. Death either inspires or terrifys the living." Hannah said.

Tyler looked at her and said, "Death inspired me like a dog inspired a rabbit."

"So, in this case, death terrifys." Hannah said. They all chuckled and troye was appalled with himself for being able to smile let alone laugh on today of all days, but he knew it was something he needed. It was good for him.

"So" Troye said being the first to stop laughing, "we literally know nothing about you guys. Tell us something about yourselves."

Hannah and ingrid glanced at each other before Hannah spoke up, "Ingrid and I were secondary school sweet hearts. Um, we moved in together when we were nineteen. After finding out neither of us could actually have kids we got a fostering license. A few months after that we got a call about a child who need a permanently rather than temporarily and we obviously couldn't turn that down. So that's when Marelyn came into the picture."

"That's so sweet." Tyler sniffled rubbing his eyes. He knew he was going to cry tonight but he wasn't at all surprised that he was doing it now.

"What about you two?" Ingrid asked.

Troye was the one to speak up for them. "We both lived on campus during university, we were neighbours. Tyler and I had a few classes together but we had never really spoken. One day I was getting home from my night class, it was nearing 12:30 am and Tyler was sitting by his door. I already thought Tyler was cute so I was nervous to even walk passed him. So just as I pass him I ran my fingers through my hair and I tripped and fell." Troye noticeably cringed and hannah and Ingrid both started laughing.

When they stopped Tyler spoke up, "I caught him." Ingrid cut him off by 'aweing'.

"The he ruined the moment by saying, 'I think you just feel for me'." Hannah, Ingrid, and Tyler all started laughing, even Troye started giggling.

"I don't think that ruined the moment. I think that as soon as I said it you though 'I'm going to marry this guy' and you did."

A couple of hours later the group had finished eating and exchanged numbers promising to stay in touch.

As they lay in bed Tyler cuddled closer yo Troye, yawned and said, "I had a good time tonight, I just feel like I betrayed Sami, you know?"

Troye wrapped his arms around Tyler, "Sami would be happy you had a good time. You know she always hated seeing either of us sad." Tyler didn't vocally respond just nodded his head and willed sleep to take him.
