"For Troye’s seventeenth birthday he gets driving lessons. Well actually more importantly, he gets Tyler Oakley." Troye Sivan has never been in love before. In fact he has only ever been in love with his laptop. Until a quirky blonde ends up driving him crazy.

What if you could hear them? The thoughts they deigned not reasonable enough to say out loud, the things not suitable for even a giggly teenage gossip conversation. Would it be a blessing or a curse? Troye, the unlucky teenager bestowed with this 'gift', thinks of it as a curse, with good reason. Do you know how hard it is to keep a relationship with someone when you know exactly what they think of you? Impossible. It's impossible. Or at least that's what Troye thinks, considering he's given up on even trying to make it work. He's different, people shun different. People hate different. And it's better to go under the radar, to be nothing, than to be hated. Right? Tyler, on the other hand, has taken a different approach to a similar problem. No, he can't 'read minds', but he does have a part of himself he doesn't want a soul to know about. He's quarterback, every girl's dream guy, an academic mastermind, and he's also gay. He's seen how different kids get treated, hell, he's been the one to treat them that way before. Why on Earth would he ever wish that on himself? No, it's easier to hide, to be someone you're not, than to be hated. Right?

Troye is junior in high-school. Each day is struggle and it feels as though everything wants to bring him down. Expect Tyler. Tyler makes the pain almost bearable, he makes almost makes it worth fighting. But, Troye also knows that Tyler has the power to crush him even more. Is Tyler worth the risk? Tyler sees Troye and can see the suffering in his eyes. He wants nothing more than to hold Troye and help him, but will Troye let him in? And will Tyler be able to finally let go of his past that he has run from for so long? Can these boys help each other and give each other a reason to try? **trigger warning**

This is a fanfic and MAY be triggering! This is all experiences I may/may not have had with me and my friends... It is about Troye Sivan and Tyler Oakley. It IS a self harm fanfic and all my story's will have that in... I honestly don't mean to offend anyone :( xx

17 year old Troye Sivan has always struggled making friends. But since his family was relocated to London, things have been even worse for him. Sent off to St. Blyton's boarding school for boys and girls, he is immediately labelled as an outcast. Teased and tormented for his sexuality, his appearance and even the way he speaks, Troye turns back to his oldest enemy and his only friend; a razor blade. As Troye's world begins to spiral out of control, will he be strong enough to hold on to who he truly is? Will the one person in the school he genuinely feels a connection with be enough to keep him together? Or is it already too late? CAUTIONS: SOME SCENES MAY BE TRIGGERING FOR SELF HARM. THERE WILL BE SOME SMUT. BOYXBOY. REMEMBER: THIS IS FICTIONAL. IT IS ALSO MY FIRST FANFIC SO PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK / CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.

St. Chastity - Troyler AU Tyler Oakley is the most popular guy at St. Chastity, a boarding school for guys and girls. Troye Sivan is just a normal guy with self-esteem issues and problems in school. What do they both have in common, you ask? Well, they are both openly gay. While Tyler is the flirty and proud senior who everyone either likes or fears, Troye is the shy sophmore who is very easy to get along with but is very socially awkward. Troye feels a certain attraction towards Tyler but knows that his infatuation with the older, very sassy and daring boy can only be hypothetical. Or so he thought. ****************************************** This story is a collaboration.
