*Troye’s POV*

We arrived to the restaurant and we all took a seat; I was next to Zoe and in front of Tyler, who was sitting next to Alfie. We ordered our food and all four of us were laughing about weird things that had happened at Playlist so far, we were having so much fun. 

“Hey uh… Troye?” My eyes widened. Did he just say my name? 

“Yeah?”

“Are you having fun here in the US?” he asked smiling. Oh my god, that smile.

I cleared my throat. “I- I am, I love it here.”

He was about to respond when Alfie called his name. “Oh my God Tyler look at this picture!” He said happily while motioning Tyler to look at his phone.

Tyler looked like he had seen the most beautiful thing ever, whatever that was it took his breath away. He looked so amazed and happy… It probably was some other guy that looked a million times better than me.

Him and Alfie were still looking at that picture that God knows what it was, and I couldn’t help but stare at him while he wasn’t looking. The way his hazel brown hair was perfectly done, that beautiful smile of his, the grayish eyes, his laugh… Okay that’s it, you have to stop now.

“I’ll be back in a minute” I said and excused myself. I went straight to the restroom and I locked myself in one of the stalls, I burst out crying the minute I shut the door. Why was I crying? I honestly did not have a proper reason, I think I’m just… afraid? Ever since I came out I hadn’t fallen in love with any men, and somehow it felt like I was on the edge of a cliff I was willing to jump off. Even though I knew I was going to get hurt in the end. 

Do you really think he likes you, Troye? He can have any man in this planet and do you really think he’d pick you? Stop daydreaming for God’s sake. 

But the problem was… I like him. I really, really do. 

*Tyler’s POV*

“Oh my God Tyler look at this picture!” Alfie exclaimed. I looked at his phone and saw it was an edit of me and Troye, it was that ugly selfie we took on my birthday and it had a flower border and some hearts as well. On the bottom of the picture it said “Troye + Tyler = TROYLER”. I couldn’t stop smiling for some reason, and I smiled even bigger when I started to read the comments to that picture.

 “OMG they would make an awesome couple!” “BUT GUYS IMAGINE THEM DATING” “I ship them so hard!”

Wow, people really wanted us to be together even though we had just met in person, I was really surprised. 

“I’ll be back in a minute” Troye excused himself and left. I hope everything is okay, was it something that I had done or said? I really hope not. 

The waiter came with our food and I was starting to get worried about Troye not being here. 

“Guys I will go see if Troye’s okay.” I told Zoe and Alfie. When I was about to stand up, I saw Troye’s tall figure walking towards our table with his head down. I’m glad he’s okay… But I know something is not quite right. 

He sat down in front of me and he didn’t say a word to any of us. He lifted his head up enough for me to notice that he had red puffy eyes, I was starting to get more and more worried. Had he been crying? 

“Troye are you okay?” I asked him.

“Uhm yeah, yes. It’s just uh… allergies.” 

Nice try. “Oh, okay” I’ll need to talk to him later about these allergies of his.

The rest of the afternoon went by pretty quickly as we finished eating and did some shopping. We were back at the hotel at about 7:30pm and we all said goodbye in the lobby and everyone went to their respective rooms. But I knew I wasn’t gonna be able to sleep if I didn’t do what I was thinking, so I texted Troye.

Hi Troye! We’re all hanging out in my hotel room rn, you should come :)

He responded right away: Coming!! <3

He was at my door a few minutes later and I could tell he was confused when he didn’t see anyone else but me. 

“Uh…”

“I can explain” I said quickly before he started asking questions. He gave me an ‘okay’ look and I begun.

“Listen Troye… I know that the whole allergies thing was a lie. I used to tell my mom the same thing when I didn’t want her to find out I was crying. I’m worried about you Troye, please tell me what’s wrong.” I told him and he joined me on the couch. 

“Tyler it’s just that…”

“Just that what?” 

Tears filled his eyes. “Tyler I think I… I think I have feelings for you.”
