Everything Has Changed// Tyler Joseph X Reader

"I can't do that. I can't tell him I like him and then leave," I responded.

"Yes you can. If you leave without telling him how you feel, he'll only be more confused. Tell him," she said, and then I nodded quietly.

"Okay, I'll try," I said, and my voice was so low it came out as a whisper.

I opened the car door, and jumped out onto the sidewalk, walking up his driveway and to his front door.

I knocked, and hoped Tyler would be the one answering it. It was night time, but it wasn't that late so I figured he was still awake.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and I saw Tyler standing there with a black long sleeve shirt on, and pajama pants. His hair was messy as if he was just sleeping, but I hoped that I didn't wake him up.

"What do you want?" He asked with a blank face as he leaned on the door.

"I'm sorry... did I wake you up?" I asked, not answering his question.

"Yeah. I was just sleeping through a movie though. No big deal," he responded, rubbing his eyes. "So, what do you want?" He asked again, still with a tired look on his face.

"I have to talk to you," I told him, and he then stepped outside of his house and carefully shut the door behind him. He then looked at me with a questioning face, so I began to explain what I needed to say.

"I'm sorry for what happened. I'm sorry for what I said. I feel so stupid for saying that.I hope you know that I didn't mean it. I don't only want to be your friend, Tyler. I only said that because I was frustrated," I finally said, and it felt good to admit everything to him.

"But I'm leaving, and this is what I was afraid of this whole time. Getting too attached to you to the point where my heart would break when I knew I couldn't stay. Even though I'm not staying, I still want to tell you that I like you a lot, Tyler. And if I were staying, I would more than anything want to go out with you and get to know you even better," I explained, and I could feel tears leaving my eyes.

"Y-you're leaving?" Tyler stuttered, his eyes widened and the sound of disbelief in his voice. I could only nod in response as more tears dripped down my cheeks. I tried to wipe them away with the sleeve of my hoodie, but Tyler grabbed my arm and pulled it away.

He moved his hand up to my cheek, and wiped the tears away with his thumb. He pulled me closer by cupping my cheek and moving my head closer towards his.

"I like you a lot too, Y/n. I'm sorry for ignoring you this past week. I've missed you, a lot," he responded, and as our faces neared, he rested his forehead against mine.

"Ever since I met you, everything's been different. I don't know how to explain it, but all I know is that everything has changed," he said quietly, his bright brown eyes staring into mine. And then I saw him close his eyes, and his lips neared mine. I quickly did the same, and not even a second later our lips were pressed against each other, and there we were, kissing outside of his front door on Christmas Eve.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, wanting nothing more than to live in this moment forever.

But it was soon over, because his lips parted from mine, and I brought my arms down from his neck as he took a step back. He had a small smile on his face, which caused me to smile too.

"Since you're going back to New York soon, why don't you stay over a little longer? We can talk, and get to know each other more as if we really have been friends forever," he suggested, and I thought it was a good idea.

"Sure, let me just go tell Dallas and Selena," I told him, walking down the driveway to Dallas's car.

Tyler and I were sitting on the couch, talking as some Christmas movie played on the TV. There was a ton of candy canes, cookies, and brownies set on the coffee table, so Tyler told me that I could help myself and have whatever I wanted.

"Hey, I know it might be a little late for this, but I was wondering, until you leave, would you like to be my girlfriend?" He asked, a cute smile on his face as he placed a small candy cane in his mouth.

"Sure, Tyler. I'd love to be your girlfriend until I leave," I giggled, kissing his cheek.

So he's my boyfriend now. For some reason, it fazed me. Even if it was literally only going to last until the day I left, it still made me feel happy inside knowing that I had Tyler with me.

Tyler and I began asking each other random questions, so we would be able to get know each other more than we already did. We asked random questions, like 'what's your favorite color?' or 'what's your favorite movie?'.

It was my turn to go next, and I thought of something, so I decided to ask him.

"What's your biggest fear?" I asked, and then he froze for a moment, and left his mouth slightly open, like he wanted to say something but couldn't. I felt like I made him uncomfortable, and I wished I would've never asked him in the first place.

"Well... there's more than one," he finally stated, and I realized that this must have been a more person thing for him, so I nodded and listened closely to what he was saying.

"This might be deep, but I'll tell you anyways," he told me, and then took a deep breathe. "I fear of having no purpose. I wonder what the point of me being here is, and I'm scared that I'll never begin to find it. Finding your entire purpose seems almost impossible, but there must be some way to start finding the beginning of it," he responded, and I nodded, interesting in what he was saying. He seemed a bit nervous, like he was scared to mess up on explaining this.

"Another thing I fear is love. When you trust someone with everything you have, they can crush you whenever they want. And I don't want someone having full advantage over me. It just scares me, and that's why I don't think love will ever be for me," he explained, and he was looking down. I noticed a hurt look in his eyes, so I quickly moved closer to him and wrapped my arms around him to comfort him.

After a while, Dallas texted me that he was outside to pick me up. I told Tyler, and he said he wanted to walk me out.

Tyler and I walked outside the front door, and Tyler quietly shut it behind him.

"This might be the last time I see you in a while," I said, and I began to feel tears in my eyes again.

"I'll miss you," Tyler told me, and he leaned in to softly kiss my lips.

"I'll miss you too. Goodbye Tyler," I quietly waved as I walked off, but then stopped in my tracks and turned around.

"Wait!" I called to him just before he could close his front door.

"What?" he asked, raising an eyebrow as I walked up to him.

"I love you," I smiled, and quickly kissed his cheek. "Bye!" I said, then ran off to the car.

I looked at his face as I got into the car, and his mouth was wide open, as if he couldn't believe what just happened. I saw him shake his head, and then walk inside as he shut the front door.

I thought about what I had just managed to say to him, smiling at the fact that I had enough courage to say it.

Tyler and I agreed that we would text each other everyday, so that wouldn't have had to be the last time we talked in a while. But even though someone says they're going to do something, it doesn't mean it's going to happen for sure.

A/n: wow that was a lot
