(2)The Last Thing InWant For You Is A Happy Ending - Tyler Joseph

Despite everything you said and everything you denied, you can't get Tyler out of your head. He's always been there, but now it's like every thought leads back to him.
And your thoughts of him lead to that damn shirt sitting in the back of your closet.
And you don't know what comes over you, but you pull it out and stare at it for a while. Even though it's been a year since you found it and his scent has faded from the fabric, it still makes you think of everything that happened between the two of you. It makes you want to cry and laugh and relive every memory because most of them bring a smile to your face.

You feel all of this because of a shirt.
You change out of your clothes and slip the t-shirt over your head, climbing into bed and hugging yourself.
The last thing I want for you is a happy ending...

Two weeks later...
Tyler had been a wreck after he went to see you. Even after Josh's countless warnings that you would be in a relationship, he had pushed it all back and it didn't hit him that those warnings might have been true until he caught sight of the ring on your finger.

Congratulations.

Josh has been trying to convince him to go out and do something, maybe meet a nice girl and start over. They both know it won't be that easy.

But, at the very least, Josh wants to get him out of the house. He wants to get him driving around again, writing music and performing.

But whenever he goes to Tyler's house to try to get him to leave, he just ends up staying at the house with him.

And that's how he and Tyler ended up sitting on Tyler's couch a couple weeks after Tyler's surprise visit to see you. They each have a red bull and are watching some random show that Josh suggested.

"Ty, you have to get out of the house. Go to a bar or a restaurant. Maybe you could make that ten minute journey to my place. I would count that as getting out of the house."

Tyler is about to respond and tell Josh that he just wants to stay at home, but the doorbell interrupts him.

He sighs and gets up, putting his drink to the side and unlocking the door. He expects it to be someone trying to sell him something or maybe one of his neighbors.
He doesn't expect to open the door and find you standing in his doorway, soaking wet from the rain, you're eyes red from crying.
"Y/N..."
You look up at Tyler, your words heavy with emotion as you give him all the information he needs in three words.
"I ended it."

Tyler immediately looks at your hand and notices an empty space where your ring used to be.
"I couldn't stop thinking about what you said and I was so confused and I just... I couldn't marry him."

Tyler doesn't want to be happy. You're standing in front of him, your heart broken, but he wants to jump for joy because this means you might have feelings for him too.
But he also feels his heart break for you because he's only seen you this vulnerable once before, when the two of you broke up.
"Come in, you look like you're freezing."

You walk inside and spot Josh sitting on the couch, staring at you with wide eyes.
"Y/N?"

"Hey, Josh," you say with a weak smile. Josh gets up and disappears down the hall, coming back with a blanket in his hand.

"Here," he says as he wraps it around you.

"Thank you."

Josh nods and offers you a small smile, looking at Tyler after a moment.
"I'll just go to the, um...over there," he says, turning and walking upstairs to the guest bedroom.

You turn to Tyler, feeling another wave of tears come over you.
"I don't know what to do, Ty."

Tyler immediately pulls you into his chest, wrapping his arms around you as you sob into him. He doesn't know how long he stands there, holding you and running a hand through your hair, but he eventually begins singing to you until your sobs die down to whimpers, then to sniffles, then to silence. And even then, he still sings because he remembers how calming it was for you.

You keep your arms around him and he eventually starts to sway to the rhythm of the song. You realize then that the song he's singing is the one he played you the night he made the mark on the wall.
"You remembered," you choke out, looking up at him. He smiles and nods.

"Of course I did. It was your favorite song."

"It still is."

Tyler doesn't say anything else, but his arms tighten around you and he starts softly singing again, his hand moving up and down your back.
And that's all it is. A hug.
But that's enough for now
