Chapter 3: Q&A

-Tyler’s POV-

I came back from the kitchen with a bottle of Smirnoff and two shot glasses, and sat across from Troye who was now sitting comfortably on the floor with his legs crossed. I set the glasses on the floor between us and started to fill them with vodka.

“Let’s make it a game.” Troye suggested, the hint of a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. “Whenever you ask me a question you have to take a shot, and vice-versa.”

He stared into my eyes, and even though I felt a little uncomfortable, I couldn’t make myself look away. His eyes were fucking brilliant. There were more shades of blue in them than I could count, and they said so much more than Troye ever could on his own. We sat there for a while, just gazing at each other before I pushed the shot glass toward him.

“Deal.”

Troye took the glass and stared at it as he ran his index finger along the rim. I took a deep breath and cleared my throat, getting his attention.

“Should we start off with some easier questions?” I asked, studying Troye’s gorgeous face, and the way the last few beams of light from the sunset streamed across it.

“Yeah, I guess.” He replied with a shrug.

I gulped as I tried desperately to think of some simpler questions that I still actually wanted answers to. I smiled to myself as I brought my eyes back up to his.

“That time we were hanging out in my hotel room after Vidcon and we ordered Thai food, you were staring at my face with a smile, but when I asked if there was something on my face, you said no. Were you lying?”

Troye looked away from me and continued running his fingers along the rim of his glass.

“No, I was just staring at your lips.”

I felt my breath hitch as heat rose in my body. Troye was staring at me in a strange way, never breaking eye contact but also clearly not willing to elaborate further on his answer. I felt my mouth getting dry.

“Drink up.” He said with a fake smile as he gestured to my glass. I stared for a moment longer before pressing the glass to my lips and tipping my head back, draining the liquid from it. It burned my throat but I welcomed the feeling. Anything to distract me from that answer.

What the hell did he even mean? Troye didn’t have feelings for me… did he?

I was suddenly pulled from my thoughts as Troye piped up loudly and unexpectedly.

“When was the last time you had sex?”

I felt all of the blood rush to my face. Well that was forward.

“Uh, I uh,” I stuttered. “It was uh, probably, fuck Troye, I dunno, thirteen, fourteen months ago?”

A huge smile spread across Troye’s face.

“Holy shit! It’s been over a year since you did the frick frackle?! Someone’s having trouble in the downstairs department!” He joked. I couldn’t help but smile.

“Literally, fuck off.” I replied with a grin.

“Like, I think the department has been downgraded into more of a ‘seasonal goods’ aisle, if you get my drift.” He laughed.

“This bitch!” I said with a wide smile as I playfully smacked his arm.

“Seriously though-“

I cut him off.

“Drink now, Twink.”

He grinned his perfect grin at me before tossing it back. I felt butterflies in my stomach, but quickly and desperately tried to push them back down to wherever they came from. Stop it Tyler, you can’t think about Troye in that way. You can’t let yourself feel this way.

I poured us both more vodka, wasting no time.

“Why were you staring at my lips?” I asked, eagerly awaiting an answer.  Troye’s face fell, and he looked away from me. He stayed extremely quiet for a few minutes, and I was scared that he was gone again; lost in his little world that he so often seemed to find himself trapped in. I bit my lip at the thought, and just as I was about to open my mouth, he spoke quietly in a whisper that was so faint, I hardly heard him.

“Because I wanted to kiss them.”

Everything around me stopped.

There was a loud ringing in my ears as all background noises faded away. All I could see was Troye; the perfect blush that was quickly spreading across his pale skin, the nervous look in his eyes, the eyes which happened to be locked on me, his lips that were so full and just… so beautiful.

Troye Sivan had wanted to kiss me.

Holy sweet mother of heaven above.

I tipped back and let the liquor slide down my throat, burning the whole way down as it settled in my stomach before spreading a familiar and intoxicating warmth throughout my entire body.

“Are you weirded out that I wanted to kiss you?” Troye asked, tossing his shot back before even waiting for me to answer.

“What? N,no. Why did you want to kiss me?”

Shot.

“I don’t know… I just did. Maybe because it was you. Why are you asking me so much about it?”

Shot.

“Because I’m curious. Do you still want to kiss me, or was it just that one moment?”

Shot.

Troye paused for a moment before answering.

“Yes.”

“That’s not an answer.”

“Yes it is. Just because you don’t understand what it is I’m saying yes to doesn’t mean that it’s not an acceptable answer.” Troye snorted with a smirk.

I clenched my jaw as he proceeded to ask more questions.

“Have you ever thought about kissing me?”

Shot.

“Maybe.”

“That’s not an answer.”

“Just because you don’t understand what I mean doesn’t mean that it’s not an acceptable answer.” I responded in a mocking tone.

Troye rolled his eyes at me as he let out an exasperated sigh, trying hard to hide the faint smile creeping onto his lips and failing miserably.

“Answer my question better this time. Do you still want to kiss me?”

Shot.

Troye didn’t respond by saying anything, but rather by setting down his shot glass, getting up onto his knees and quickly but hesitantly crawling across the floor toward me. My mouth felt oddly dry despite the shot I’d just taken.

“Can I kiss you right now?” he whispered seductively. I felt the butterflies return and explode within me as I smashed my lips into Troye’s. 

A/N: So, this chapter was a lot of fun to write because I got to be a little less serious, so their personalities can actually start to shine through! I'll be doing the next chapter (which I have already started writing) from Troye's point of view, so stay tuned!

Love you Guys!!!! <3 xoxoxox
