The Only Way To Go Is Up: Tyler Joseph X Reader

11

"I just didn't know if it would be okay for me to admit it," Tyler explains. "I've only known you for a few days and I don't want to come across in the wrong way." His eyes meet mine before they quickly look away.

"Tyler, you're beautiful too," I say. Realizing what I said, I rush to correct myself, "I mean handsome, not beautiful! I'm not saying you're not beautiful though! You are; you look great-"

Tyler cuts off my rambling before I can say anything even more awkward. "Thank you!" he smiles.

How can he not like his smile? It's one of the cutest things I've ever seen!

I can feel my heart melting. I want to try and be flirty with Tyler, but flirting has never been something I'm good at.

"So what are you doing today?" I ask nervously, changing the subject.

"I'm actually going to meet some fans!" Tyler says, going along with it. He seems really excited for his plans. "There was a contest where the winner would get to meet me."

I nod my head. "That'll be fun!"

"Yeah," Tyler agrees. "I hope they won't be too upset that Josh won't be here."

"They'll love to meet you," I reassure him.

"I hope that's how it'll go," Tyler says somewhat nervously.

I'm secretly happy that Tyler is no longer talking about me being beautiful. I don't know what to say and a change in topic is really appreciated.

Tyler checks the time on his phone and drops his fork onto his plate. "Shoot! I'm going to be late!"

I roll my eyes. "Watch your language, Tyler."

"I've got to go," Tyler stands and throws his plate into the trash. He comes and gives me an awkward side hug. "I'll see you later!"

"Bye Tyler," I say as he rushes out the door. I pull out my phone and text Mikayla.

"He's gone now"

The door opens, startling me. "I know," Mikayla says as she walks in. "I saw."

"That was quick," I stand from the chair

She shrugs. "I guess I was creepily stalking you guys from the hallway." Mikayla sits down on the end of her bed. "So what did you guys talk about?"

"You just love to hear what goes on between Tyler and me," I comment.

"Yeah, it's interesting!" Mikayla exclaims. I go on and describe to her our entire conversation.

My friends and I don't do much for the rest of the morning. We didn't plan much for our vacation. Before coming, we decided that we would just figure out something to do while we are here.

My stomach growls, pulling my attention away from my phone and to my growing hunger. It's about noon and I could really use something to eat. I look back down just as I receive a text from Tyler.

"Would you mind bringing me something to eat?"

"What would you like?"

I stand up and grab the car keys off of Mikayla's night stand. "I'm going out for a second," I tell everyone I head towards the door.

"Make out with Tyler for me," Jordyn says. She's sitting on the floor, leaning against the foot board.

I roll my eyes and mumble quietly, "I wish."

Kylie looks over at me. "What was that?"

"Nothing!" I quickly rush out the door before they can ask me any more questions. I walk down the hall, the keys jingling as I swing my arm at my side.

I get another text from Tyler and read it as I wait for the elevator.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but anything except for TB"

The elevator dings as the doors slide open. I step in with a couple.

"Wait am I talking to the right Tyler?"

"It's pretty much all I've eaten since I got here. I need something different for a change."

The elevator finally arrives at the first floor. I wait for the couple to get out before I exit.

"Well then I might just have to get enough for both of us since I haven't eaten yet"

"That would be great!"

Tyler then sends me the address for where he is. I wall out the glass doors of the hotel and down to the parking lot. When I get to the car, I get in and start it. The car is pretty messy since all four of us drove down together. I stop at a sandwich place before going to meet up with Tyler.

When I get to the address Tyler sent me, I see it's a music store filled with people. I lock my car and carry the bag of food in. I have a hard time getting in because of all the people. Why would the store be so busy? As I push between people, I see my answer. Towards the back of the store, I see Tyler surrounded by a crowd of fans eager to talk to him.

He looks a bit panicked. His eyes meet mine and he seems to relax. "(Y/N)!" He shouts. A few people turn to see who he's talking to.

I hold the bag of food over my head. "I got it!"

"You're my hero," he yells back to me. He then tells everyone to let me through. They all do their best to make a path for me to Tyler. I squeeze through the crowd until I make it to Tyler.

Tyler wraps me in a quick hug. "I owe you! I'm starving!"

"$7.32 to be exact," I say sarcastically.

"Hey everyone, I'm going to be taking a quick lunch break! I'll be back in a bit," he informs the crowd. He turns his attention back to me and grabs my hand. "Follow me."

Tyler leads me through a door into what appears to be some sort of break room. There's a couple of couches, a fridge, and a coffee maker. "That was chaotic," I say. "I thought you were only meeting one fan."

"Yeah, me too," Tyler sighs. "That's the last time I let Josh read through the rules for me."

"Well food makes everything better," I say as I plop down onto one of the couches with the bag.

A/N:

Sorry if this chapter is really crappy. Things have been hard for me lately and if you read my last Author's note, you know why. I'm probably going to delete the note once I feel better and start to update frequently again. Thank you for all the amazing comments! I've been trying to reply to each one individually, but it's hard to respond since it's about such a personal topic. I just want you all to know that I really appreciate everything you've been doing!

Also, a few people have asked me about my Instagram, Twitter, and other stuff like that. If I shared my accounts, would you guys be interested in checking them out? I love you guys and hope to see you all when I post the next chapter!❤
