"Tilly, hey!" he greeted his boyfriend enthusiastically, his full smile that he knew Tyler loved. Tyler’s Skype profile picture flashed up on Troye’s screen, and Troye immediately answered, despite the fact that it was one in the morning. Yet sadly, not in the literal sense, as they were miles upon miles apart. Six months later, they were still together. The second kiss was deeper, more assured on Troye’s part as Tyler found himself pressed up against the younger man even more so than he already was. Lips brushed against each other in a halting, reverent first kiss. It was Tyler that closed the distance, having to stand on his tiptoes as he pulled the face of his best friend down to meet his own. They both realised their proximity to the other in that moment. Troye’s hand didn’t lower much, however, as he tentatively brushed one finger along Tyler’s jawline, eliciting a shiver from the shorter man. A long fingered hand plucked a single petal from brightly coloured hair, letting it drift away in the evening breeze.
Tyler turned his back to the locks as he swung round to face Troye. But he still gave Tyler the lock, that was engraved simply with the word ‘forever’ and their initials.īoth locks’ engravings had a far from platonic feel to them, and as they fastened them to the metal, they both stood closer than was natural for ‘friends’. Troye felt as scared as Tyler looked in that moment. "Want to see mine?" the teenage beauty asked his Tilly. Tyler peeked from between his fingers, wary of his friend’s reaction. It was still warm from Tyler’s hands as Troye turned it over in his hands, seeing what was carved into it. "Fine, here, look." he said, burying his face in his hands once he had given the Australian teen the heart shaped lock. Tyler caved first, eager to show his best friend the lock despite the fact that it could change everything between them. "I bet mine is bigger." Troye replied in the same flirty tone, his heart beating furiously in his chest, the immense nerves he was feeling not portrayed in his words. They had each purchased a lock, and had it engraved away from each other. "I’ll show you mine if you show me yours." Tyler had said cheekily. Their relationship became so much more than friends when they stood upon a bridge in Italy, locks grasped in their hands. Troye Sivan and Tyler Oakley are not so lucky a pair. They will never understand the true suffering and anguish that it brings. Those lucky pairs don’t have to go through the pain of separation. The actuality of long distance is a factor in relationships that many couples are lucky enough to not encounter.
