- TYLER -
The words come straight out of my heart, tumbling out of my mouth.
"I believe you" I say, my lips brushing against his.
"Y-you do?" he asks, a nervous smile tugging at his lips.
"With all my heart"
"I'm so sorry, Troye. This was all my fault, I should have just believed you" I mumble.
"It's okay, Til...oh, sorry. Can I call you that again?"
"Of course! See, I've ruined our entire relationship" I sigh, pulling on my hair.
"Tilly, you didn't ruin anything. I love you and that's all that matters" he says softly, running his fingers through my wet hair.
"A-are you sure?" I sniffle, shivering at the feeling of the cold rain.
"Come on, we need to get you home before you get sick" Troye says, pecking my cheek and grabbing my hand.
We walk home in silence, our hands loosely connected between us. I could feel the awkward tension, and couldn't help the guilt when I realized I was the cause of this mess.
"I'm sorry" I whisper, blankly.
"You don't have to apologize to me" Troye says, kissing my temple as we walk up the stairs to my apartment.
I open the door, letting us in, before fidgeting with my fingers, nervously.
"I'm going...to...um...go shower" I say, starting to walk away.
I turn around, beginning to walk to the bathroom when Troye grabs my arm, turning me back around to face him.
I don't even have time to process what is happening before his lips is on mine, his fingers tangled in my hair.
My mind blanks and I focus on kissing Troye, the obvious feeling of love clouding over my thoughts. The passionate kiss slows to a loving one when his arms fold around my neck and my arms loop around his waist. We hold each other, our lips lazily moving together.
I pull away from his lips, and hug him.
"Nothing has changed, okay? We're okay" Troye whispers.
"I love you" I mumble into his shoulder.
"I love you too" he responds, kissing the side of my neck.

I walk out of the bathroom in a pair of sweats and walk to the couch where Troye is lying down in a fresh pair of my dry sweats. His body is lying down on the couch, his head resting on a pillow in the corner of the L-shaped couch. I lie down across from him, lowering my head onto his chest.
"Hey, Ty?"
"Yeah, babe?"
"I was thinking...who sent you that picture?" Troye asks.
"I don't know, I didn't know the number" I shrug, burying my face into the soft shirt he had on.
"...could I see it?" he asks, softly.
I sigh, reaching over to the coffee table and giving him my phone. Thankfully, he doesn't mention the cracked screen and instead just puts my passcode in. Once seeing the message, he frowns and pulls out his own phone, scrolling through his contacts.
He lets out a dry laugh, and I tilt my head up.
"What's wrong?" I ask him.
"It was Caleb" he says, shaking his head.
"What was Caleb?"
"He sent it to you"
"Why would he send it to me?" I ask, dumbfounded.
"I guess he wants to get back together? I mean, you can't blame him. Have you seen me?" Troye says, lightening the tense situation.
"Well, he's gonna have to do better than that cause I'm not letting ever letting you go again" I giggle, leaning up to press a kiss on his lips.
"Good, cause I'm never leaving again" he whispers, pulling me further on him so my head was resting in the crook of his neck.
"You're weird" I sigh.
"You're perfect" he counters. I smile when I hear him starting our little game.
"You're brilliant"
"You're beautiful"
"You're cute"
"You're exceptional"
"You're....you're...you're amazing" I say, smiling when I finish the sentence.
"You're my soulmate"
I look up at him, taken back by how painfully emotional he looks. Crawling on top of him, I lay my head on his chest. I koala-hug him, wrapping both my arms and legs around his body as he sits up, leaning his back against the couch.
"I felt like a part of my heart was ripped out of my chest when I couldn't see you" Troye sniffles, looping his arms around my waist.
"I'm sorry" I mumble, squeezing my limbs tighter around his body.
"I will never stop loving you" I tell him, leaning my forehead against his as I thumb his cheekbones.
His eyes fill with tears and he connects our lips in a passionate kiss, our lips intertwining and wetting with our relieved tears. My arms fold around his neck again and I lower him to the couch, gently. Our lips move together and Troye's arms pull me closer to his body. We disconnect our lips and I rest my head against his collarbone, distractedly kissing his neck.
"I love you" I tell him, looking up and seeing his bright blue eyes.
"I love you too" he smiles, hugging me to his figure.
