Troye
_____________________
Jaspar's proposal goes exactly like it was planned to and Caspar is crying when he says yes and pulls Joe up to kiss him. Everyone around me is getting engaged, all of my friends seem to have these perfect lives going for them. I have my Connor and that's all that really matters, he's here with me right now, alive and holding on to my hand. He looks over at me and smiles then starts talking to Zoe about something. I can't really focus on what they are saying for some reason, something just doesn't feel right. I let go of Connor's hand and lean over to kiss his cheek.
"I'll be back in a minute." He gives me a strange look and I send him a look that says 'trust me' then he nods. I walk around the apartment looking at every face to make sure there is no one here who shouldn't be here. I don't see anything that seems off but I just have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that something is not right here. Whenever I have this feeling I'm never wrong, but I still don't want to call Dan and Phil. They have tabs on the car Jason is using and our car, they know where we are and were he is. They would tell me if Jason was close to us, they would warn me because as much as Dan doesn't act like it, they care about us. Probably more than they have ever cared about two other people, other than each other of course.
I walk out of the building walking around and searching for the car that we saw last night. My phone buzzes in my pocket and I see that Dan is calling me. Shit. Shit. Shit. I answer the phone running back inside so that I can get to Connor. Dan doesn't talk for a second then he starts talking so fast that it's almost hard to catch everything that he's saying.
"They are on the same block as you and you need to get Connor away from there immediately. They are in the same car that they were last night and I am positive that both of them are in that car. I know how much you want to just kill them now but you can't. Get Connor out of there."
"Daniel we are at a fucking engagement party with all of our friends. I can't just leave them here to get kidnapped by Garrett and Jason. I can't leave, Dan. I can't do this to them." I'm inside Jaspar's kitchen whispering into the phone sharply at Dan hoping that no one will hear me. Thankfully most everyone is in the living room, but that doesn't help the situation at hand in any way.
"How many people are there?" Dan asks like that will make a difference on my decision to stay here or not. What kind of fucked up human is he? Okay I already know the answer to that but that doesn't mean that I don't think about how fucked up this is.
"Twenty maybe thirty." I say knowing that I need to answer him even if I don't want to do what I know he is thinking about. "Dan I'm not just leaving them unprotected while there is two people that want to kill Con on the same block."
"Do you remember Bethany Mota? You worked with her last month. She lives on the same street as them, would you leave and take Connor if we sent Bethany in there? If you two are gone they are most likely going to leave. I really don't think they want your friends, even if they could use them against you. Bethany will make sure everyone is okay and if they come to the door she will make them leave one way or another."
"Leave them alive. I want to be the one who finishes those bastards. Fine when Bethany gets here I'll leave with Connor." Dan is silent on the other line probably looking at Phil so that he'll call Bethany up. "Why can't you just help us catch them? I know you care, you can't hide that you care. This is putting a lot of stress on you as well as on us. If you just told me where their main base is this could all be over. He could fall in love with me and everything would be normal."
"If I helped you track down and kill these men then I would risk everything that I've worked for in my whole life. As much as I hate to admit it, I do care about you and Connor but I care about what I've worked for more. It has taken me so much work to get to where I am today, I can't risk this. I'm sorry Troye. I can give you hints occasionally but I can't tell you everything." he pauses and I can hear shuffling on the other end of the phone. "She should be there in about two minutes and twenty one seconds."
"Okay. Do I come to the office or should we go home?" I look around the room making sure that no one has overheard anything that they shouldn't have. Dan thinks for a moment before answering me absentmindedly.
"Um...come to the office. You are safer here right now and we can't risk them following you home."
"Okay I'm hanging up the phone and I'm leaving as soon as Bethany gets here." Dan hums into the phone then I hang up and walk back into the living room masking the worry from my face. I walk over to Connor and tug at his arm, he gives me a confused look and I shoot him a 'trust me' look. He follows me into the kitchen and I start talking softly. "Jason and Garrett are together on this street right now. We are going to leave and go to the office while one of my co workers protects our friends. Please don't fight me on this."
"Tro we can't just-" I close the space between us grabbing his face and kissing him hard. He gets lightheaded and fluttery when I kiss him, which means he will be easier to get out of here. I kiss him for a couple seconds before I am interrupting by the clearing of a throat. I look up to see Bethany dressed in black with her hair tied up in a ponytail. I grab Connor's hand and start pulling him towards the door to the kitchen, I stop in front of Bethany and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Thank you, Bethany. Really it means a lot to me." She nods and doesn't say anything so I pull Connor into the living room. "Look sick and like you have a headache now." I whisper in his ear in a demanding way and he slumps over a little resting his weight on me. "ConBon doesn't feel to well. We are going to head home." Everyone waves at us as we walk out of the door and once we shut the door behind us I'm rushing Connor to the car. I pull my gun out as we walk out of the building hiding it in my coat as we walk to the car.
"Oh my god, Troye, put that away." Connor says as we get into the car and I hastily start the car still holding my gun in my hand. "Do you always carry a gun on you, like at all time?"
"Do you wanna die? Of course I do, I would be stupid not to." I say not thinking about how my words my actually affect him. Guns scare the shit out of him, they have ever since he was a kid for some reason. He thinks it's because he watched some scary murderer movie with his older brother and it scarred him for life. Me almost killing him with a gun didn't really help that fear either, so I tuck my gun away in my jacket to help ease his nerves that must be going insane right now. "I'm sorry I forgot but they are on the block and you are to precious to be taking chances with." his face softens at my words and he just stares at me as I continue to drive to the office. I'm going as fast as I possible can with out having to worry about the possibility of getting a ticket.
It's not long before we make it there and I'm drawing my gun out again, Connor looks so uncomfortable. I kiss his temple before grabbing his hand and making him walk behind me as I walk towards the building, so that if someone comes at us I can protect him. The receptionist doesn't question us when we press the button for the top floor and I'm thankful that Dan and Phil have finally told there freaking receptionist what we look like so I don't have to deal with them. I put my gun away and pull Connor into my arms hugging him close to me. He returns my hug hiding his face in my chest and he's taking really deep breaths. I pull away and cradle his face in my hands looking into his beautiful green eyes that are filled with worry.
"We're safe. You're safe." I want to say three other words but I don't think now is a great time for that, if I could even manage to get my vocal chords to agree with my brain. I kiss his forehead and some of the tension in his eyes melts. He clings to me as we walk out of the elevator and sit down on the couch that I feel I have become all to acquainted with recently. Dan and Phil sit down across from us and Phil looks upset, Dan is holding his hand. I hope that Phil isn't upset because of us, Dan is trying to comfort his husband with strokes of his fingers.
"There isn't much to say and there isn't much that we can do right now. The building is on complete lock down for the next hour. No one gets in or out." Dan says looking over at Phil and not at us as he speaks to us. Phil is seeming to be a bit better now, not quite upset and that is making Dan happy.
"We should watch a movie to pass the time." Phil says looking at Dan with eyes that I know are going to get what he wants. Dan can not resist Phil in any way shape or form, Dan is literally Phil Trash Number One. He would do anything in the world to please Phil.
"Phil!" Dan says in a long exaggerated voice. "Can't we at least pretend like we are professionals?" Phil sticks his lip out in a pout and bats his eyelashes at Dan until Dan caves. "Fine. We are going to the theater in the basement." Connor giggles when Phil gets his way and we follow Dan to the elevator where he pushes the basement button.
"Are you okay, Connor?" Phil asks laying a hand on Connor's shoulder, he doesn't say anything but he nods and snuggles into my side. I wrap my arm around him tighter and the rest of the trip to the basement is silent. I've never actually been down here before so I'm shocked when I see row open row of fancy couches and an absolutely huge screen.
"Sometimes we come down here and play Mario Cart on that thing. It's awesome." Phil says as he and Dan take a seat in the front row. Connor and I opt for a couch in the middle of the room and I see Dan texting someone, probably telling them to start some stupid movie. Connor gets comfortable resting his head against my shoulder, I kick my shoes of and curl up on the couch moving Connor with me so that it's comfortable for both of us.
I don't even bother focusing on what movie they've chosen, all I'm focused on his my brown haired green eyes masterpiece. I love the way that his eyes crinkle when he thinks something really funny or the way that he when he laughs it seems to go through his whole body. I love the way that he gets so invested in the lives of the characters and the things around those characters. Connor is a truly intriguing human being and I'm lucky to call him mine. I play with his hair and he hums in contentment, I lean down and press a kiss to his forehead and a big smile covers his face.
"You make me really happy, Troye Sivan." he says and I can't help but smile like an idiot because this man makes me happier than anyone or anything has ever made me in my entire life.
