Today Jacob was just lying on his couch and scrolling Instagram endlessly. He was tired, but not sleepy, and there was nothing else to do. Well except study for the mid year exams but he didn't want to do that either.
Suddenly, Troye texted Jacob. They had exchanged their phone numbers for easy contact. It was their first text. Jacob immediately sat up and opened the message.
T: Hi :)
Jacob smiled. Seeing Troye on the other end made his heart warm.
J: Hey :)
T: Watcha doin'?
J: Meh, nothing much.
T: Don't you have to study?
J: Don't you have to study?
T: I was, but I got bored.
J: lol
They stopped texting for a while. But then,
T: Can I come over?
Jacob immediately smiled after seeing this text and replied with "sure". He was so longing to spend time with Troye.
Minutes later, the doorbell rang.
"Hi," said Troye, smiling a little, his cheeks flushed and he was still panting slightly. He obviously ran over.
"Hello," Jacob replied.
Troye was wearing a red and yellow hoodie with blue jeans that had holes on his knees. Jacob also noticed that he was a little sad, and his eyes were a little red.
They went to his bedroom. He was going to ask Troye if he was okay but he would obviously answer yes and not tell him anything so Jacob shut his mouth.
"So..." said Jacob. "Whatcha wanna do?"
Troye shrugged and sat on the carpet, his back leaning against the bed. He starting picking his fingers.
He obviously wasn't in the talking mood, and definitely not as cheerful as Jacob thought he was in their texts. Music cures everything, well except sad songs for a heartbreak but anyway Jacob played the CD on the CD player.
I thought you into my life, woah
Look in my mind, yuh.
(Haha can you guys guess what song)
Troye slowly looked up at the sound of the music and smiled.
No better place or a time, look how they align.
Universe must have my back, fell from the sky into my lap
And I know you know that you're my soulmate and all that
I'm like ooh, ooh, my whole life got me ready for you, ooh, ooh
Troye bobbed his head gently to the music and lip synced, eyes closed. He looked so fucking cute Jacob can't even.
Jacob slowly sat down next to Troye.
"You like this song?" He said.
Got me happy, happy
I'ma be happy, happy, yeah
Troye nodded yes, his eyes still closed. "I like all of her song in the album, but goodnight and go and breathin the best."
Then Troye slowly laid his head on Jacob's shoulder. Jacob smiled at the intimacy.
They were quiet, listening to music. Pete Davison ended and Goodnight and Go started playing.
Tell me why you gotta look at me that way
You know what it does to me
So baby, what you tryna say?
"You know when everything's shitty and you don't know what you're doing with your life?" Troye suddenly whispered, his voice a bit shaky, like it's only holding onto one line. His head still on Jacob's shoulder, looking at the wall in front of then.
Jacob nodded after a moment.
"Can I just put my head on your shoulder and not think about anything?" Troye asked quietly.
Jacob smiled and nodded. Oh he can do anything to Jacob as long as Troye wants to.
Troye smiled and closed his eyes. And after a while Jacob snaked his arm across Troye's shoulders and pulled him closer to him still.
Then Jacob closed his eyes too.
Both smiling while listening to music.
