“(y/n)!”
“Tyler!”
You turn and smile, your eyes locking on his ones. His arms are open and a smirk plays on his lips as you sprint towards him. He carefully catches you, his arms wrapping around your neck and yours around his waist for a firm hug. You breathe in his familiar scent, and close your eyes. It had been way too long since this had last happened, causing you to squeeze a little longer than normal and take the whole scene in. “I’ve missed you.” Tyler’s lips pressed into the hair on the top of your head and you looked up with a smile.
“It’s been way too long.” you agreed. “I mean what is this new look? A mustache?” You poked the top portion of his lip and raised an eyebrow.
Tyler laughed and grabbed your bags. “I like it. Makes me feel older, like more mature ya know?”
“If you think that, then you’re not any more mature than you were before.” you grinned, nudging his arm and following him to the car.
“So you don’t like it?” Tyler tossed your bags into the back seat and turned to look into your eyes.
“I didn’t say that.....” You crossed your arms and bit your lip, examining the look again. He had shaved pretty much everything but the mustache. His hair was longer, being pulled back with a clip. He looked older, but still like Tyler. You shook your head and laughed. “You know what though? It’s definitely not my favorite look.”
Tyler shook his head and grinned. “I like it.” He opened the door for you and helped you in before rushing to his side. “I just feel like I needed something. Something to represent me during these times...”
“So you decided on an ugly mustache?” you teased.
“Ouch. You know, that really hurts. I quite like the mustache.”
“You should shave it.”
“I’m not going to.”
“Please?”
“No.” Tyler stuck his tongue out at you and turned back to the road.
“So where are we going anyway?” you watched him pass almost every exit you were familiar with.
“I have an interview.”
“Right now?”
“Yes. Well, technically, in like an hour.”
“So I’m going with you?”
“That was the plan unless you wanted me to drop you here on the side of the road.”
“You would never.”
Tyler looked over with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. “Try me.”
You just laughed and shook your head. “No no....I’ll come to your interview. I want to see what you have to talk about anyway....hmm....let me guess....maybe about the tiktok and the pain you went through and-”
“I did go through pain.” Tyler defensively objected.
“I know....I know...I’m just saying. She wasn’t right for you anyways.”
“Who is? You haven't liked any of the girls I’ve dated.”
You shrugged and looked out the window. You had been crushing on Tyler for years, of course you hadn't done anything about it and weren't planning on doing anything about it because you didn’t want your friendship to be ruined. The crush had made liking his love interests much harder though. “I’m sure someone is out there I will like.”
