troye quickly got up, as soon as his eyes opened at 5:30 AM. he rushing my retrieved his shawl and watch, as he explored the room he was caught in last time. he was shocked to see so many chains and whips up against the walls. it was frightening to see, but what caught him off guard was when he felt a hand land on his shoulder. he rushingly turned around to find the chef.
“why don’t you come sit at the table.” she said, quietly. troye nodded, quickly following the lady but forgetting to close the door behind him.
as troye sat at the table, he picked at the food the chef had put down. “i haven’t seen you before- but the whole house has been talking about you. the names troye right?” she said, looking at him. “yeah, and what do you mean the house is talking about me? i’m just like another noah.” he said. the chef tried to restrain her gasp but failed. “oh heavens no! noah is the sir’s slave! but see- he doesn’t have a chance at freedom. on the other hand- wait, i don’t think he’s told you has he?” she said, looking at him curiously.
“told me what?” troye said, curiously. “well- i was
cleaning sir’s table and i saw release papers-” but before she could finish tyler marched into the room nodding at the chef and bidding troye a good morning. “what’s for breakfast, ariel?” he said, grabbing a cup of coffee from the counter. “you only ever get the same thing everyday, sir.” she said, trying to keep her tone normal, and not filled with attitude. “well, give me what troye’s having. i deserve a change for once.” he said.
“troye, we’re going to go-” he said looking up and down at troye’s clothing choices, “shopping.” he finished. troye simply nodded and took his plate to the sink, and began washing it. tyler watched as troye did so, and was impressed by how well mannered a boy off the streets actually was. troye quickly took his seat next to tyler again.
when tyler was finished with his breakfast he too, got up washed his plate. when tyler went to go get dressed, ariel quickly leaned over and whispered, “that was the first time he’d done that in 12 years.”
“so, what’s your style?” tyler asked. “grunge and alternative.” troye said, holding tyler’s hand and leaning close to him. “alright, well let’s go look for some things.” tyler said, enjoying troye’s hand in his. he hated to admit it but the warmth of troye was actually melting down tyler’s cold and icy walls.
“you’d look cute in that.” tyler said, holding up a suit. troye’s eyes wandered the black suit, that looked charming and seductive. “can i try it on?” troye quietly asked. “of course! the dressing room is that way.” tyler said, pointing. troye quickly came back to tyler after trying it on. tyler was kind of upset he couldn’t see him wearing it, but it was alright. at least he’d be seeming him soon. they then continued to shop for jeans and other shirts. walking around the mall with their hands holding, and brief kisses while walking around in emptier parts of stores, attempting to restrict the PDA.
“i had an amazing day, thanks.” troye said, taking another bite of the ice cream they were sharing. “yeah, of course.” tyler said smiling.
“hey, i have to ask you something.” tyler said.
“alright.” troye said, wondering if it had anything to do with the release papers.
“i’m going to my friend’s house party, and i can bring a date. i was wondering, if it wasn’t weird, if you’d like to go.” tyler asked, taking a bite of the ice cream.
“aw, how thoughtful! sure, i’d love to go.” he answered, blushing.
tyler couldn’t help but lean in, and connect his lips with the red boy’s lips. it was odd, because he never felt anything like this. but how exactly was he going to break it to him, that he was going to let him free. he didn’t want to, but he knew it was only right. he hated his job, because there were some many men and women that he’d keep hostage. he wished he could set them all free but, there was just no way that it would actually work.

it felt odd, dressing up for something. it was the first time he had since he reached america. “oh, troye! you’re going to look so handsome!” ariel squealed, as she fixed troye’s hair. “oh, stop. no one could look better than you.” troye said, giggling. “i used to do this for my son, all the time.” she said, smiling. “what happened to him?” troye curiously asked. “he passed away. spent his life fighting for our country. you remind me of him.” she said, with a soft and heartfelt smile. “finished!” she exclaimed, as troye stood up. “thank you, ariel.” troye said, kissing her forehead. “now- i have a date to attend!” he said, smiling till his cheeks hurt.
troye waited by the door, and when tyler turned the corner, he could see the smile grow on tyler’s face. troye began to blush furiously, when tyler landed a kiss on his cheek. “you look amazing.” tyler whispered into troye’s neck. “th – thanks.” troye mumbled. tyler gripped troye’s arm walking him towards the limo waiting outside. “tyler, i don’t think a person like me, should be going with you.” he said, quickly after looking at the limo. “shut up, and let’s go.” he said, harshly while tightening his grip around trove’s arm, till it left a bruise that tyler wasn’t aware of. troye quickly stiffened up, scared of what would happen if he said anything at that moment to tyler. troye attempted to distance himself away from tyler but it was hard to do, since there were others there. no one looked at him though, no one including tyler. everyone laughed as troye sat alone, staring out the window, and trying to listen to the music that way playing on the radio, even if it wasn’t the best.
he regretted going to the party with tyler. as the party went on for hours and hours tyler didn’t even ask for troye. it was a weird feeling that tyler was having the time of his life, as troye watched. tyler downed plenty of shots, and what probably hurt troye the most was all the men tyler made out with- the same way he made of with troye. troye rolled up his sleeve to look the at the bruise on his arm which was a even darker blueish purple.
finally, tyler called for troye to get into the limo for a ride back home. troye ended up helping tyler out of the limo, and into his room. tyler fell asleep, even before saying thanks. maybe he was a fool for thinking that he was just as special as any other guy tyler knew.
after all, only a fool would fall for troye.
