Hidden Love (Tronnor fanfiction)

~8~ Someone else

Troye's pov

I woke up to the sound of people talking. It was faded trough the walls so I couldn't make out what they were saying. Did I sleep that long that they're already up? I looked at the clock on the bedside table. 4.28 a.m. it said. Why are they even awake at this hour? Should I go check what they're doing or just try to sleep again? I'm way too lazy but if I don't get up and see why they are awake then I'm going to think about it the rest of the night. So I decided to get up not bothering to put more clothes on then the boxers I was sleeping in.

The voices became louder until the point I could almost understand what they were saying. I could only pick up some of the words they were saying.

"...giving...privacy...falling on... Already fell for..." That's all I heard Tyler say. What was this supposed to mean? Falling for who? Then it hit me. Connor loves someone. I felt a sting of pain go through me. Why was I so sad about the fact that Connor found someone he loves? I should be happy for him. Yes I had a crush on him but it was just a little crush no? And he's not even gay so what was I even thinking. It's not like I could ever have a chance with him.

They must have heard my footsteps because they suddenly turned around to me and stopped talking.

"T-troye?" Connor stuttered out. What was going on in here?

"Why are you guys still awake?" I ignored the way Connor stuttered and just asked he question why I originally came for. They both looked at each other as in trying to come up with something to tell me and apparently Tyler was the first one to come up with something.

"The film was just over and we were heading to our rooms." I would've believed him if everything wasn't so suspicious.

"And why is the TV muted then? Also I went to sleep like 3 and a half hours ago so that must be a damn long movie. C'mon guys just tell me."

"I talked to Tyler about the stuff that keeps me awake." I don't know why but I was actually upset that he talked to Tyler about it and not to me. I'm not going to show that though. It's just that he always talked more to me and now he suddenly goes to Tyler for it and that when it's so late. And then the thing I heard is about him loving someone maybe that's why he talked to Tyler. Maybe he knew I was flirting with him and didn't want to say it to me because of that.

"Oh okay, I'm going back to sleep and you guys should do the same."

"Yeah we will" Connor answered. I couldn't help but notice that he was looking at my body and I suddenly felt insecure. Of course he had seen me like this before but it was different, it almost looked like he was checking me out. Why do I even consider that of course he isn't checking me out he just told Tyler that he's in love with a girl. I need to stop seeing everything he does as a sign that he might like me. He's not gay so I can't change that. Maybe I need to get over him and forget about my feelings for him and look for other boys.

Connor's pov

Those few hours sleep I got were definitely not enough but it will have to do. I was just happy that I finally told someone about how I felt. Even tough when I said to Troye that I talked to Tyler he seemed hurt and I know exactly why. It was because I told Tyler and not him. Normally he would be the first person I go to but that wasn't really possible in this situation. 

I went to Tyler and Troye who were eating some breakfast. How rude, they eat breakfast in my house without waking me up.
"We have some scrambled eggs for you." Tyler said to me the first second he saw me walking in the room. I thanked him for it and sat down with them at the table. The moment I sat down Troye's phone began to ring. I wonder who it is since everyone in Australia knows he's here and don't want to get a large phone bill.

"Hello Matthew!" I heard Troye say really happy. Way too happy actually. Who even is this person? I recognize that name but from where?
"Yeah of course I didn't change my mind about the date," Date? What date? Troye is having a date with this person? Oh no I know why I did recognize the name. It's the guy from in that shop where we acted like boyfriends. But how even does they have each others number and why would Troye want a date with him? Why even would this Mathew guy want it after we acted all couply in front of him! 
Troye giggled at the phone and I couldn't help but feel jealous. I just hope I was wrong with him going on a date and that this Matthew is indeed the Matthew I think it is.

"See you later then" He ended his phone call and I immediately bombarded him with questions.
"Are you going on a date? With Matthew? Is it that guy from the shop? How do you even have his number? Why do you even want to go on a date with him?"
"Wow Connor you're not my parents okay. And yes I'm going on a date with Matthew and yes it's the guy from the shop. I got his number because he wrote it down and put it in the plastic bag. He wrote on it ' For as you break up with your boyfriend'. I just felt like going on a date okay? " All my suspicions were true and it broke my heart. I will never have a chance with Troye. 
"B-but why him? You can get whoever you want."
"I think he's a nice guy and I never really went on dates and I think it's time for me to find someone and I will always be alone if I never try." 

"And when is the date?" I really felt like crying at the moment but I had to hold strong. He can't know how much all of this infected me.
"This evening."  He simply said like it was so normal.
"This evening and you didn't even bother telling me before, what if I planned on doing something with you and Tyler?"
"Like what? Sitting in your living room and watching another movie? No thanks I rather go out then." This isn't happening, I'm not going to fight with Troye over this. I might not have a chance with him but I'm not going to loose my friend too. He's right, I hadn't planned anything. It still hurt tough to hear him say that. It seemed like he didn't enjoy being with us.

"Maybe me and Connor can go out too," Tyler spoke up. I didn't really want to go out but why not. Otherwise we just sit in my apartment all day that's not better.
"Yeah I think we will,"

"Maybe you can take that girl with you that you like," What was Troye talking about? Did I ever told him about a girl? Why would I've done that? There is no girl.
"What girl?" 
"The girl you and Tyler were talking about this night! Don't say it's not true I heard it." I really couldn't follow what he was saying. Me and Tyler didn't talk about a girl. Oh I get it. He heard a part of our conversation that was about him. Oh god no, now he thinks I'm in love with a girl whilst the truth is that it was about him.

"We weren't talking about a girl Troye." He looked really confused now.
"But.. So you don't love someone?" Ugh can this get any more complicated?
"No Troye I'm not in love with a girl." Tyler began giggling now. Really Tyler can you make it any more obvious?
"Why are you laughing?"
"Uh nothing it's just funny that you thought Connor had a crush on a girl." I glared at Tyler but he didn't look at me. 

"What's so funny about it? It's not that it would be weird if Connor had a crush on someone. Maybe you even find someone when you go out." He was so oblivious. Troye really doesn't understand that I don't want to find someone. I already did found someone, him. All of this made it just clear that he really doesn't feel the same, maybe I need to find someone tonight, maybe there is no point in trying to get Troye.
