Shaun POV
I felt like i was doing the right thing leaving Troye. There was a part of him that responded to Tyler, it was something i had never encountered before with troye. but at this point, i was just glad he was talking to people. and i know Tyler would tell me what he said. at least, i hoped so. But watching him tonight, he had a control that resounded with Troye like i had never witnessed before. he told Troye what he wanted and like a switch, Troye gave it to him. Tyler held complete control over him when all else failed. we all fought for control, and here he is, just waltzing in, and he takes it. For over a year, i tried desperately to find out what had pulled him down so far. But it was like he was afraid to talk about it. but i had a feeling Tyler would be the one to pull it out of him, i could hear muffled sounds coming from inside the door as i sat by elevators. i wasn't trying to listen, but i wanted to be close by in case Tyler turned out to be crazy. i waited for maybe 30 minutes before the sounds stopped. concerned, i stood, and walked back to my son. the view that greeted me when i opened the door, shocked me into stillness.
Tyler was leaning back against the headboard of the bed, his eyes closed, and his arms wrapped tightly around a sleeping troye, who was seated firmly in Tyler's lap. I debated what to do. i didn't think Troye would be too comfortable waking up on someone. so i walked to the bed and gently tried to remove Tyler's arm. Suddenly, I felt fingers wrap around my wrist and i looked down to see Tyler had grasped my wrist. when i looked back to his face, his eyes were open and squinting. i smirked when i realized his glasses where on Troyes lap. they must have slipped off. i grabbed them, and held them out for Tyler to retrieve. when he slid them onto his face, he looked up again.
"oh, its you. " he said softly, letting go of my wrist. i glanced down at my sleeping child and then back up. he shook his head softly.
"I promised him." he murmured softly. he tilted his face down and pressed a gentle kiss into Troyes hair. I felt my eyes widen and i wanted to scream. but before i even had the chance to open my mouth, Tyler was shaking his head.
"Its not what you think Shaun." he said softly. i quirked an eyebrow. "Ok, its exactly what you think" he amended. i bristled with rage and almost hit him
"But you and i both know, I'm not going to try anything." he continued. "At least not yet. he isn't ready" he said kissing his hair again. the affection was clear. when had this even started.
"When did you know?" i asked gruffly he smiled softly running his fingers across Troyes hand
"When he bumped into me" he said looking up. My mouth dropped.
"That fast?" i asked in surprise. he shook his head
"i never had a chance. i knew that."he said looking down fondly at boy on his lap.
"Does he know?" if Troye knew, there was no telling what would happen.
"No." he said firmly. "But hes confused. he talks in his sleep you know" he siad looking up at me. he never had before, so this was news to me. and like clock work
"Ty" Troye whispered, even though he was still asleep. great. My son was crushing on him. and just when i thought it couldn't get any worse, Tyler's eyes closed. he leaned down and just pressed his face to the top of Troyes head. he lurched back up suddenly and i was confused. But then Troye snuggled deeper into Tyler's chest. Tyler looked back at me.
"I want him. like nothing else i have ever wanted before in my life. but i cant walk that road with him right now. i have to bring him back first." he told me earnestly. i knew he meant his words. he would leave Troye alone, in that sense, for however long he needed too.
at that moment. there was a shift. i was no longer the only man capable of taking care of him. i had to deal with that. in a sense, i was very nervous. this guy had the power to give me my son back. but then, i would have to let him go again. with Tyler in his life, i saw... a family. but just as he had the power to bring Troye of out his fears, he had the power to create more. Tyler held the power, to destroy my son, and i was horrified. i was tempted to snatch him up and run back to Perth. but, i knew i couldn't make him happy, and with that, i walked away. i went to other bed, and i laid down. before long, i was in a restless sleep.

*the following morning
Tyler POV
I woke, feeling warm and very comfortable. i looked down, slightly surprised to see a blurry figure was sprawled across my chest. 'Troye' i kissed his soft hair and smiled as he squirmed a little before sighing and nudging closer to me. i went to reach for my glasses under the pillow, where i normally keep them, and i was again, kind of shocked to see i still had both arms wrapped tightly around him. i untangled one arm and grabbed the specs from under the cushion. I placed them on my face, squinting at the sudden diffrence in my vision. i looked down again at the sleeping figure and then at the clock. shit. i had one hour, and Troye was going to be super afraid to be on his own. i glanced over to his father sleeping in his bed. i knew if i moved, Troye would wake up that same second. i guess he was coming with me then. i shook him gently and he stirred. slowly his eyes opened and he graced me with his gorgous blue eyes.
"Tyler?" he asked confused.
"I gotta get dressed. i ahve hour to be on the main stage" and like i thought, his face paled down at the thought of me leaving. he glanced nervously at his sleepng father before nodding. he went to move away, but lets be real. i wasnt having that. I pulled him back and he landed with a huff on my chest again.
"You really think im just gonna leave you alone here?" i asked with ba smile
"I- I mean my dad--" he began
"Is sleeping. if you want, you can come with me" i told him his eyes got wide and he nodded fast i smiled and let go f his small body. he moved away slowly and blushed. i smiled wider. this boy. we goout out of bed and he left a note with his dad letting him know where he had gone.
"Get some clothes so you can get dressed too" i told him sternly he nodded quickly before scampering off. we were going to have change that. i want him to be verbal. his voice is like a gateway to his heart. i can hear whats going on when he doesnt want me too. so, we were gonna need to change this nodding habit he had.
he returned soon after with a backpack on his shoulder.
"are there clothes in there?" i ased, purposley setting him so we could get the hardest part over with; my first order. and like exppected, he nodded looking down. i had to word this carfully i dint want to scare him.
"Troye" i started with a soft but frim tone "If you dont talk, i dont know. please, use your voice. its beautiful and not to be hidded. ok?" he started to nod but caught himself quickley.
"ok" he said softly. i smiled brightly and his eyes widened before he blushed. i put my hand on the small of his back to anchor him and i lead him out the quiet room.
*2 hours later*
we had been milling around after getting dressed so we kinda got even more comfortable around each other. now i was sitting in the middle of live Q & Slay, and every so often i would glance back to see him watching me with wide eyes and admiration in them. i smiled brightly everytime.
eventually it was over, and i got to meet up with all of my people. everytime i saw their faces, it took my breath away. it was because of them that i was able to everything i did. and now, it was because of them, that i had met someone so beautiful and sweet. i owed them everything. i looked over to see troye was gone from his perch on the side. shit! were was he?! i wanted to run after him, but if i bolted now, there was no telling what happen. i looked back and noticed the screams had seemed to have doubled.
i glanced up and noticed a timid look-- TROYE!
"Come! Embrace! i said strongly. he flushed crimson red before i pulled him around the table to wrap him up in my arms. i nearly screamed with joy when i heard a shy giggle slip from his full lips. the crowd got so loud it was nearly deafining. and that was the start of #TROYLER
