Frozen Flames - Troyler AU [Discontinued]

Chapter 6 - Does he cut!?

*Troye's POV*

Zoe shoved me to the side and I sat there, mouth agape just watching as she cleaned Tyler’s cuts. Though I was brought back from the shock when I heard him hiss in pain and we linked our hands together. I saw hundreds of thin, white lines telling me this wasn’t the first time. I could also tell that it wasn’t the first time Zoe did this either. Why can’t he see how beautiful he is I thought, admiring his muscular body. Zoe wrapped up the cuts in bandage and I sat down, pulled Tyler in to sit between my legs, just like how I had been sitting an hour ago. “Why?” both Zoe and I asked at the same time. Tyler pressed his body tighter against mine and I locked my hands over his torso, rubbing small circles into the skin near his collarbone. Though I felt Tyler’s body tense up so I took one of his hands in mine and linked them together, and our fingers intertwined with each other’s. I smiled slightly and squeezed his hand. “Tyler please” Zoe begs, a worried look painted across her face. Tyler sighed deeply before saying “I’m not fucking normal” “Tyler, you can still convert to another power, you still have three years” she says with a sigh and I say. “Yeah, your power might not be ‘normal’, but I can promise you, I wish every day that I’d be special, but I’m not” before adding a whisper I hope Zoe won’t hear “You’re special to me Tilly” I whisper and a blush slowly make its way up his neck. He looks back up at me and a small smile is playing on his lips. “Thank you Timtam” he says and I smile, squeezing his hand. He looks back at Zoe, and I smile seeing her hopeful look.

They have a conversation based on looks and as I only sees Zoe’s looks I’m now very confused. “Fine” she huffs out and says “I’ll better go then, Tyler, don’t do anything stupid. Troye, please look after him, text me if he does anything stupid” she gives a meaningful glare to Tyler and smile gratefully at me before walking out the door. I start to giggle as soon as she’s out the door and Tyler sits up, and gives me a confused look. “What’s so funny?” he asks trying to keep a frown on his face. This just makes me laugh louder and finally when I’ve calmed down I say “First, you kicked out Zoe to hang out with me, that conversation I got through Zoe’s looks was very confusing. Two, it looks very funny when you try to frown but a half smile breaks out” I say and Tyler’s smile gets brighter. “What did you thought I was laughing at?” I say cautiously and his shoulder slumped down. “For me cutting” I hear him mumble and I pull him into me in a big hug. “I would never” I say truthfully and he backs away from the hug, searching my eyes for emotions. He blinks a few times, looking a bit confused as he hopefully sees nothing but honesty. ”Promise?” he says and I hold out my pinky as I say “Promise”. I wrapped him up in a hug again and I brought my hand up to play with some of the hairs in his neck. I play with my lip-ring and I start to hum quietly. We soon lay down and were cuddling. “Gnite” I said and I heard a quiet “Goodnight TimTam” as I fell asleep.

I woke up to someone snuggling into my chest and smiled as I saw a mint-green tuft of hair. I smiled and pulled Tyler tighter into my body, but then taking one hand to pull up the cover- Cuddling with Tyler, I both love it and hate it- I love it because he’s very snuggly, shorter than me but I hate it because how cold I get from it. I really didn’t want to go up, but as usual luck wasn’t on my side and soon Tyler’s alarm was blaring in the dorm. I turned it off quickly and proceeded to wake up Tyler myself. I stroked his hair, poked his nose, said his name multiple times. Nothing worked. I knew that my touch could burn him slightly so I pulled up his shirt a little bit and pressed my hand flat against his stomach, feeling his abs. Soon I heard Tyler starting to mumble and I giggled to myself quietly. He groaned and opened one eye slowly, but it shut quickly again. “Gmorning” I say and he answers with a “Mornin” in a tired, low voice full with sleep. I chuckled and said “We need to get up for school” This made him scramble up. “Why didn’t my alarm wake me up, how long ago did it ring?” he asked and I smiled “It ringed like 5 minutes ago” I said and he sighed out of relief. “I need to shower and shit, are you gonna get to your dorm?” he asks and I say “If you promise that you won’t do anything stupid” I say and he presses his lips together tightly. “I can’t make a promise I’m not sure I can keep” he says and I sigh “Well, then I’d like to quickly run back to my dorm and change, then be allowed back in here” I say and he nods. “I’m just gonna go shower, I let the door be unlocked” he says after a few minutes silence and I nod, standing up saying “I’ll be back soon, don’t you dare to lock that door” he nods and I walk towards the door “I can melt the lock if you try, but I’ll see you soon Tilly” I open the door and hear a quiet “See you soon TimTam” and I walk out the door. I run down the corridor and into my and Caspar’s room.
