A Touch of Courage (Troyler AU)

16 year old Troye Sivan couldn't protect his best friend, James, from what happened when they were younger. Losing the one thing that brought him any happiness, Troye escapes into his art, the only thing capable of breaking his endless cycle of apathy and despair. That is, until he is transferred to St. Anthony's Private School and meets Tyler Oakley.

The opposite of Troye in almost every way, the trouble maker with the mischievous blue-green eyes and lilac-colored hair just might hold the key to shattering Troye's self-imposed prison. Tyler's attention opens Troye up to a new realm of feeling. But the harder Troye falls for Tyler, the more he fears that everything will fall apart and the demons of his past will return to claim another victim.
After all, how can a relationship between introverted rich boy and the school's biggest bad-boy really last?

**SMUT WARNING**

There will defo be smut in this, which is why I rated it restricted just to avoid trouble. There will be no self-harm in this, but there will be depictions of verbal and physical abuse, which may be triggering. I'll try to post warning before any chapters which may be triggering, but I am completely new at this so please let me know if I slip up. Lastly, there may be some swearing in this. Nothing too vulgar though. Anyways, enjoy!
