- TROYE -

I raced up through the hall of my hotel and quickly unlocked my room and stepped inside.

I locked the door and scurried towards my laptop.

Come on. Come on, come on, come on. Pick up. 

I call Tyler on Skype, eager to show him a very important thing.

"Hey, babe" Tyler answers, picking up.

My mind goes blank for a moment as I stare at his flattened hair, and deep blue eyes through the screen.

"...Troye?" he asks.

"Oh..sorry, sorry" I say, shaking my head.

"Tilly, guess what?!" 

"What?! Is everything okay? What's going on?"

"I have something for you..." I sing.

"NO YOU DO NOT. DO YOU HAVE THE FIRST SONG?" he shouts.

I laugh and nod into the screen.

"Do you want to hear it?" I ask him.

"ARE YOU KIDDING? PUT IT ON" he orders.

I smile and find the track on my phone, and hover my shaky thumb over the song.

"Ready?" I ask him.

He nods eagerly, his eyes widening in anticipation.

I start getting nervous, he's so excited. What if it isn't as good as he expected?

I gulped and pressed my finger against my phone screen.

I let out a sigh when I heard the familiar notes I had spent months perfecting. 

I closed my eyes and let myself get lost in the music.

Ocean eyes

Staring into mine

Find myself getting lost

Drowning in those beautiful ocean eyes...

I hear my voice beginning to sing the song I had written four months ago.

By the time the song is over, I look up, bracing myself for Tyler's reaction.

At first glance, you would think he was sad.

Tears were streaming down his face.

But, by the time my eyes reached his lips, my face lit up.

A bright smile was decorated on his lips.

"D-did you like it?" 

"I loved it. You're amazing, Troye" he whispers.

I blush and play with my fingers in my lap.

"So..." I say awkwardly.

"Who was it about?" he asks, smiling smugly.

That little shit.

He knows who its about. He wants me to say it. I'm not going to say it.

"Eh...no one special" I say, smirking.

He rolls his eyes at me.

"Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, babe" he replies.

"I'm serious" I state.

"If you wanted to compliment my beautiful ocean eyes, you could have just told me. Although, I much prefer the song. Actually, I take that back. Anytime you want to compliment me, write me a song and sing it to me. New rule." he says, laughing at himself.
