something’s gotta give - tylum (part 4)

“I’m dying to live, something’s gotta give” - calum and tyler meet at an all time low gig and its basically love (or at least “i wanna bang you”) at first sight. things get a little complicated though due to calum’s very famous and also very female ex…

(part 1) (part 2) (part 3) 

Calum's eyes scanned the room as he took another gulp of his drink, his hand drumming a rhythm on the table in front of him.

'Dude it's fine, he said he'd come back!' Michael said, his hands cupped around Calum's ear so the other boy would hear him over the loud music playing. 'Just go and dance for a while he'll be here soon.'

Reluctantly Calum got up, finishing the rest of his drink in one gulp as he did so. He walked over to the centre of the room which was filled with dancing bodies. A girl caught his eye with skin as dark as the night sky outside and curls that bounced on her shoulders as she turned to look at him. He placed his hands on her hips and pulled her to him, but the only thing he felt as they danced was the silk of her dress against his skin. Her arms wound around his neck and he pulled her even closer, desperate to feel something that would prove all of his feelings for Tyler wrong.

'Excuse me? He's taken.' Calum heard a voice behind him and whipped around, the girls arms falling back down to her sides. She shrugged in response, turning back around and lost once more in the crowd. 'Really couldn't wait for me to come back?' Tyler chuckled as he stepped closer to Calum.

'Needed a distraction.' Calum said, his heart beating fast in his chest as the other boy moved even closer to him again.

'I thought I was your distraction.' Tyler smirked, his hands resting on Calum's hips and closing the last space between them.

'Ty, we're literally in a club full of people. Anyone could see us.' Calum groaned, his bottom lip caught between his teeth.

'Okay well let's go somewhere they can't see us then.' Tyler said, his hands dropping from Calum's waist to take his hand instead. Calum was surprised at the shorter boys strength as he tugged him through the sea of people filling the room.

'You gotta be kidding me.' Calum laughed as Tyler pushed through a door and into the mens bathroom.

'Well it's more private than out there.' Tyler pointed out with a laugh as well.

'True, those guys don't look like they'll be remembering much of the night.' Calum motioned with a nod of his head to the two men doing lines off the sinks to the right of them.

'Exactly my thinking. I mean it's not quite a story to tell the grandkids but...' Tyler shrugged.

'Who said anything about grandki-' Calum had time to say, before Tyler was pressed against him and their lips finally met. Calum's arms instinctively wrapped around Tyler, his hands sliding under his shirt and over his abs. Tyler groaned softly as he laced his fingers through Calum's curls, tilting his head to deepen the kiss.

'You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that.' Tyler gasped as he finally pulled away.

'I probably have a pretty good idea.' Calum chuckled, bending down to reconnect his lips with Tyler's again.

'Now as much as I like pressing you up against these cold tiles.' Tyler murmured against Calum's neck. 'I think I'd rather be pressing you into the sheets of my bed instead.'

Calum bucked his hips against Tyler involuntarily, hungrily catching the other boys mouth with his own once more. 'I'll call the car, meet me outside in 5?' Calum asked once he managed to pull away. Tyler only nodded, grinning back as Calum cast a last look over his shoulder as he left.

'Oh don't tell me.' Michael laughed as he spotted Calum exiting the bathroom.

'Tell you what?' Calum asked calmly, pulling out his phone to text their driver.

'Okay I'm gonna give it 5.'

'Shut up Michael.'

'4.'

'Don't know what you're counting down to.' Calum said as he tried to pull Michael away from the door.

'3.'

'I swear to god Michael.'

'2.'

'Ugh come on!' Calum whined, tugging on Michael's arm.

'And 1!' Michael crowed, twisting round as Calum dragged him through the crowd to watch Tyler exiting the bathroom.

'Asshole.' Calum muttered.

'Which is exactly where Tyler is gonna be fucking you ton-' Michael said before Calum cut him off with a punch on the arm.

'You know for a wingman or matchmaker or whatever you can be an annoying little shit sometimes.' Calum sighed.

'But you love me all the same.' Michael grinned. 'Seriously though I'm really glad things are working out. He likes you. A lot. And that's drunk Michael talking so you know I'm telling the truth.'

Calum rolled his eyes but couldn't help a matching grin settling on his own face as well. 'Have a good night, don't get too wasted.' he said to his best friend as he turned away.

'You too! Remember to use lube!' he heard Michael call behind him.

Calum grabbed his jacket and ducked out of the door, throwing up middle fingers to any of the paps that tried to stop him as he ran to the car. His phone buzzed as he sat down and he pulled it out to read a simple message from Tyler.

(23:57) Tyler: my room? 605

'Can you take me back to the hotel please?' Calum asked their driver.

'Of course Mr Hood, quite an early night for you.' the driver remarked as they pulled away.

'I uh, have some things to attend to back at the hotel.'

'Of course Mr Hood.' the driver replied, navigating the still busy streets. After 15 minutes which felt like 15 years to Calum they finally arrived at the hotel. Thankfully the fans from earlier had gone home boy now and Calum was free to make his way up to room 605 without anyone stopping him. He knocked on the door, suddenly aware his heart was racing from nerves and not just from running up 6 flights of stairs.

'Hey.' Tyler said as he swung open the door a few moments later.

'Hey.' Calum replied, still trying to get his breath back.

'Well are you coming in or not?' Tyler chuckled, grabbing Calum's hand to pull him into the room.

~

Sunlight filtered onto Calum's face, stirring him from sleep as it painted the insides of his eyelids golden. He rolled over onto his side, wondering why he'd forgotten to close the curtains last night. As he rolled over his chest collided with Tyler's back and at that moment he remembered. Tyler rolled over slowly to face Calum as well and the corner of his lips twisted up into a smile.

'Morning.' he said, his voice husky with sleep.

'Morning.' Calum replied, the words muffled against Tyler's lips as he kissed him.

'Ew morning breath.' Tyler giggled, pressing his hands against Calum's chest to push him away.

'Morning breath huh?' Calum laughed, grabbing onto Tyler's wrists to hold him down as he rolled on top of him. 'Well looks like you've got a morning related problem of your own.' he laughed as he felt a distinct bulge under the sheets.

'Yeah well you're definitely the cause of that so, not my fault.' Tyler laughed, now his turn to flip Calum over in bed so he was lying on top of him.

'And you say that like it's a bad thing.' Calum teased, capturing the other boys mouth with his own for a soft lingering kiss.

'Definitely not a bad thing.' Tyler mumbled into his lips. 'You know what else wouldn't be a bad thing? Breakfast in bed with you?' he asked.

'Come on Ty you flew thousands of miles to be here you can't just see your hotel room.' Calum laughed.

'Yeah well I'm a big fan of the view it has.' Tyler smiled, his hands trailing over Calum's chest.

'Nuh-uh you can't play me like that, we're going exploring.' Calum said decisively, tipping Tyler off him and getting up from the bed. 'C'mon sleepy head.' he chuckled as Tyler tried to bury back underneath the covers. After a lot of persuading and many encouraging kisses they were both finally dressed and catching the lift down to the lobby. Tyler pulled out his phone, groaning as he saw it was barely 9am.

'Remind me why we're up this early?' he asked.

'So we can sneak away and have the day to ourselves. It'll be worth it I promise.' Calum said, pressing a quick kiss to his lips.

'I would say something cute there like any time with you is worth it but I haven't had breakfast yet and can't think right.' Tyler replied.

'Speaking of  breakfast, that's our first stop.' Calum said, grabbing Tyler's hand once again and pulling him over to the reception desk. 'Two bikes to rent for the day please.' he said, giving a bright smile to the receptionist.

'Of course if you'll just follow me.' she said, guiding them down the hall to a garage filled with bike racks. 'Just have them back by 4pm today and the charge will be added to your bill.'

'Thank you!' Calum said, already picking out a bike and walking over to the door.

'Can't believe you're making me exercise for my meals.' Tyler grumbled, although he grabbed a bike as well.

'Oh come on, you don't get stamina like you showed me last night without a little bit of exercise.' Calum scoffed as Tyler laughed.

'Race you to this cafe then?' Tyler challenged once they were outside.

'Loser buys the other breakfast?' Calum asked.

'Deal.' Tyler said and he was already cycling off.

~

'Okay you totally cheated back there.' Calum scowled as they sat down in the small cafe they'd chosen. Tyler had, not really surprisingly, beaten him and was now choosing his celebratory breakfast.

'I think this victory deserves pancakes.' he grinned, ignoring Calum as the waitress came over to them. 'Twee poffertjes en koffie alsjeblieft.'

'Zeker.' she smiled back, taking their menus.

'What? I had time on the plane to kill.' Tyler shrugged as Calum looked at him in amazement. 'I ordered us coffee and these mini pancake type things by the way, you're gonna love them.'

'And I thought I was gonna be the one teaching you about Amsterdam.' Calum laughed as he leaned back in his chair.

'I'm sure there's still a lot you can teach me. You definitely taught me a few things last night.' Tyler said with a wink causing Calum to blush.

'Oh come on there is no way I'm more experienced than you.' Calum snorted.

'Speaking of.' Tyler said, pausing as their food arrived to give the waitress a smile. 'I'm guessing I'm not the first guy you've been with right?'

Calum took a sip of his coffee, delaying his answer for just a few seconds more. 'Well no.' he said at last, looking down into his cup. 'It's kinda complicated I guess. I mean my last girlfriend was Zendaya and she was a girl obviously but then before the band there was this guy and I mean it wasn't serious but- he rambled quickly, eyes still avoiding Tyler's.

'Hey, hey it's okay. It doesn't sound complicated man it's fine, it just sounds like you're bi.' Tyler said, reaching out to take Calum's hand under the table.

'I mean I guess so but, doesn't that just mean I haven't settled yet?' he asked nervously, finally seeking Tyler's eyes for comfort.

'Being bi is a completely valid option Cal.' Tyler said softly, watching as the hint of a smile returned to Calum's face. 'Now come on try these pancakes before they get cold.' he said, nudging Calum's leg with his foot as the other boy chuckled.

'Okay these are amazing, you're a genius for ordering these.' Calum mumbled around a mouthful of food.

'And they taste even better knowing that you're paying.' Tyler grinned, earning a kick under the table from Calum. They finished breakfast amid more teasing about the bike race and curious questions about how much Dutch Tyler actually knew (not much as it turned out) and plans for the rest of the day. After paying their bill, and Tyler receiving the waitresses number scrawled on a napkin much to Calum's amusement, they set off again on their bikes.

'Okay so where to? I might speak the language but I don't know the city.' Tyler called across to Calum.

'Don't worry I got this, follow me!' Calum called back as he peddled off. The famous canals were soon in sight beside them and Calum stopped by a set of steps down to water level. 'Me and Luke went on one of these the first time we came to Amsterdam, it takes you past all the landmarks.' he said, gesturing to a large sight seeing boat in the water.

'You're such a tourist.' Tyler laughed as he rolled his eyes.  

'Yeah? I am a tourist? And so are you? Stop being a pretentious dick and get on the boat.' Calum laughed, slinging an arm around Tyler's shoulders.

~

'Okay fine that was actually pretty fun.' Tyler conceded as they stepped off the boat and went to find their bikes.

'You barely saw any of it you spent the whole time kissing my neck.' Calum snorted.

'Yeah well you didn't seem to mind.' Tyler smirked and Calum gave him a light punch on the arm.

They walked in silence for a few minutes before Calum turned to Tyler. 'You know how screwed I am if we're seen together doing stuff like that right?' he said, a note of seriousness in his voice now.

'As screwed as you were last night?' Tyler asked.

'I'm not joking Ty, no more stuff like that apart from in the hotel room.' Calum said.

'I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking.' Tyler sighed, his hands thrust deep in his pockets to prevent the urge to lace them with Calum's as they walked along.

'We should probably head back now, it's half 3 and the bikes need to back by 4.' Calum said as he checked his phone. They cycled back in a more subdued mood than before, falling silent as they took the lift back up to their rooms.

'I guess I'll see you later...' Tyler said as he reached his door but Calum stopped him, pressing his lips to his.

'I'm sorry.' he murmured as he pulled away. 'I'm just scared you know? I mean you're already out but as far as the rest of the world knows I'm still straight and getting over Zendaya I just...' Calum sighed, running a hand through his hair.

'It's okay, I get it.' Tyler said, wrapping his arms around the younger boy and pulling him into a hug. 'I didn't mean to rush things, we can go as slowly as you want.'

'I don't want things to go slowly though I want it all, I want everything with you right now.' Calum said, cupping Tyler's jaw with his hands as he looked down at him.

'Hey it's okay, we have time.' Tyler reminded him, reaching up to brush a few stray curls from Calum's forehead. 'And we even have time before the show for a repeat of last night?'

'Now that's definitely a pre-show tradition I could get behind.' Calum smirked.

'I thought you were the one getting behind me this time?' Tyler asked with mock innocence.

'Oh my god shut up before someone hears.' Calum laughed, about to push open the door.

'Too late.' Luke grinned, turning round the corridor.

'Come on man, don't be a cock block.' Calum whined as Tyler laughed beside him.

'Just wondering where you were man you've been AWOL all day.' Luke said, hands raised in surrender in front of him. 'Just be ready for the show tonight okay?'

'Well I'm not gonna be ready if you don't leave us alone.' Calum pointed out with a raised eyebrow.

'Okay, okay, point taken I'm gone!' Luke laughed, turning back around and leaving them alone.

'Where were we again?' Tyler asked.

'I think it was something like this.' Calum answered, his lips finding Tyler's once more.

something’s gotta give - tylum (part 3)

“I’m dying to live, something’s gotta give” - calum and tyler meet at an all time low gig and its basically love (or at least “i wanna bang you”) at first sight. things get a little complicated though due to calum’s very famous and also very female ex…

(part 1) (part 2) 

'So are you ready for Dam?' Michael asked excitedly, glancing over at Calum.

'Michael I haven't even sat down yet.' Calum chuckled as they walked down the aisle of the plane.

'Just remembered you liked Amsterdam last time is all.' Michael grinned as they found their seats.

'Yeah it should be a good show.' Luke says, raising his eyebrows with a grin of his own.

'Okay you guys are definitely being weird.' Calum said slowly as he narrowed his eyes at the other two.

'Who's being weird?' Ashton asked as he took the last seat next to them.

'Mike and Luke are.' Calum said as the other two quickly looked away and busied themselves with plugging in ear phones and pulling out laptops.

'Seem fine to me, well as fine as they usually are.' Ashton chuckled as he watched a squabble over the arm rest break out between them.

'Huh, I guess.' Calum said, still slightly suspicious his band mates had some sort of prank planned for him. He put in his own headphones and settled down in his seat, opening the notebook he always carried in the hope some new lyrics might come to him during the flight.

'Anyone in particular you're writing about?' Ashton nudged him gently as he saw Calum's pen start to flow across the page.

'Maybe.' Calum said simply, unable to keep corners of his lips turning up as he saw Ashton smile back at him.

'I'm glad.' Ashton replied, leaving Calum to his writing.

~

The plane soon started to make its descent and Calum decided to put down his notebook and see if he could catch a glimpse of Amsterdam beneath them.

'Move your fat head Hemmings I'm trying to see.' Calum grumbled as he craned his neck to look out the window.

'Sorry what was that? Did you wanna see out the window Cal?' Luke asked as he bobbed and ducked his head in front of the window, succeeding in completely obscuring Calum's view.

'Suck a dick Luke.' Cal sighed as he leaned back in his seat and Luke laughed.

'I mean, it's right here if you're gonna...' Michael said with a raise of his eyebrows.

'Excuse me could you fasten your seat belts please?' The air-hostess said as she arrived at exactly the wrong moment to witness Michael still motioning to his lap with raised eyebrows and Luke and Ashton in fits of giggles.

'Ready for landing.' Michael grinned as he quickly moved his hands away from his crotch and to his seat belt buckle instead. Even Calum couldn't help giggle at the double thumbs up he gave her as she walked away.

Soon the four boys were trudging off the plane, pulling sunglasses over their eyes in an effort to dull the glaring flashes from the cameras that surrounded them. Calum attempted to put a smile on his face as he posed quickly for a few selfies before they were all shepherded away by their security.

'Dude dutch is the weirdest looking language.' Ashton said as he squinted down at several handmade signs and cards that fans had thrust into his fans.

'The girls are pretty hot though.' Luke pointed out as he cast a last look back at the sea of leggy blondes still waving after them.

'What about she who cannot be named?' Michael snorted as Luke gave him a punch on the arm. Needless to say Luke was not a big fan of the nickname for his kind-of-girlfriend but then again the others weren't really a fan of her.

'We're not dating at the moment I told you.' Luke grumbled as they all piled into a car to take them to their hotel.

'It's kinda hard to keep up with to be fair, if we could have a schedule for your next couple of break ups that'd be great.' Calum smiled sweetly while Michael laughed along with him.

'You know I could just tell him Mikey.' Luke suddenly said as Michael abruptly stopped laughing.

'Tell me what? See I knew you guys had something planned for me!' Calum exclaimed. 'I swear to god if it's another male stripper sent to my hotel room I will end all of you.'

'Shut up Luke, and no strippers Calum don't worry.' Michael reassured him, casting another glare at Luke.

'Alright band hug, there's too much tension in this van.' Ashton announced after a few minutes of silence.

'Ashton we're all strapped into separate seats how is this gonna-?' Calum began to ask before the older boy lunged across the space to wrap his arms around him.

'You're turn Michael.' Ashton mumbled into Calum's shoulder as Michael leaned over in his seat as well with a chuckle. 'Alright grumpy now you as well.' he said, craning round to face Luke. 'You know you want to.' the smile tugging at Luke's lips suddenly appeared as he too leaned over to throw himself into the hug.

'As lovely as this is, three lanky pricks leaning on my chest is making it kind of hard to breathe right now.' Calum said, slightly muffled as Luke's head was pressed against his own and Ashton's shoulder was in his mouth.

'Some people would kill to be hugged by us jheeze, be grateful.' Michael laughed but they soon all pulled back to sit in their own seats.  

'So anyway what's the plan for after the show tonight?' Calum asked.

'I guess you'll just have to wait and see.' Michael said with a grin, turning to share a glance with the other two.

'Seriously, if it is a stripper-' Calum warned but the others just laughed and Calum was forced to lean back and wait out the rest of the ride mulling over the possibilities. One hopeful thought about a certain dark eyed boy flashed across his mind once but he did his best to ignore it. That certain boy was almost definitely not thinking about him.

~

(13:26) T-Pose: i cant stop thinking about tonight, go over the plan w/ me 1 more time lol?

Tyler was sitting on the balcony of his hotel room in Amsterdam, watching the people pass below him and wondering if tomorrow he and Calum would be cycling past on the bikes that seemed to fill the city, or wandering hand in hand like the countless happy couples, or sitting at one of the many outdoor cafes sharing a coffee.

(13:27) Mikey 5sauce: stop panicking it's fine hahaha, you're gonna arrive backstage a little bit after we come on and then stay there to watch the show. then just before we're done you go back to the changing room to wait for us and then yay everyones happy and you two can finally kiss

(13:27) T-Pose: and you're sure he'll be happy to see me?

(13:27) Mikey 5sauce: as calum's best friend since we were like nine trust me on this, he really likes you

(13:28) T-Pose: alright man i'll take ur word for it, see u later!!

Tyler couldn't help but add a few exclamation marks to the end of his text, a smile spreading across his face as he read and re-read those last four words from Michael. ~

'THANK YOU AMSTERDAM YOU WERE AMAZING!' Michael screamed into the mic as the stadium filled with the sounds of fans screaming back at him.

They'd gone through their encore but lingered onstage for a final bow, not quite ready to come down from the high of performing. Running off stage they shared claps on the back and tired laughter and warm bottles of beer as they made their way to the dressing room. Calum was the last through the door, tugging off his sweaty shirt as a reflex and tossing it on to a sofa. A sofa that Tyler was sitting on.

'Tyler?' Calum asked in disbelief as the other boy stood up, a smile nearly splitting his face in two.

'Surprise?' Tyler laughed, wrapping his arms around Calum as he took a step towards him. He tried to ignore the fact that Calum's bare chest was pressed against him seeing as Luke, Ashton and Michael were all watching. And also cheering.

'Michael is this what all the bullshit on the plane was about?' Calum asked as he pulled away from Tyler.

'Just call me the greatest friend ever.' Michael shrugged, although Calum could tell his best friend was ecstatic with how well his plan had turned out.

'You are the greatest friend ever and,' Calum said as he slung an arm around Tyler's shoulder and started for the dressing room door. 'I owe you a drink or six. Wanna go find a club?'

'I mean as much as Tyler is clearly enjoying this whole shirtless look Calum, I don't think the bouncers would approve.' Luke interjected with a chuckle.

Calum paused with his hand on the door handle and looked down at himself. 'Probably a good point.' he conceded, grabbing his shirt back from the sofa.

'Okay everyone fully dressed then?' Ashton checked as they all prepared to pile into a car to take them into the city. 'Don't want any nude pictures of the band surfacing do we, oh wait a minute.' he said with a laugh. 'Someone already did that for us.' he finished, turning to Calum.

'Oh come on all of us have nude pictures out there, what about Mikey singing The Only Reason?' Calum exclaimed, but he was laughing through his indignation.

'That is a tasteful shot!' Michael replied. 'I'm pretty sure mine didn't have a winky face on anyway.'

'For what it's worth, I think the winky face adds charm.' Tyler interjected as they all got into the car. 

Calum caught Tyler's eye as they both laughed and had to restrain himself from pressing his lips to Tyler's grin. The car continued to speed down the high way as the street lamps cast spikes of amber into Tyler's eyes each time they passed beneath them. After weeks of seeing each other through screens or only hearing the other's voice being able to simply brush against each others arms, having thighs pressed together and warm breath on cheeks, all of it felt like a series of miracles.

'I'm so glad you're here.' Calum murmured into Tyler's ear.

'I just had to see you.' Tyler explained, glancing up at Calum. An unspoken communication seemed to pass between the two of them as the car came to a half and the others slid on sunglasses and jackets.

'You two still with us?' Ashton asked.

'Still here.' Calum confirmed with a roll of his eyes. 'C'mon.' he said to Tyler with a jerk of his head as he leaned towards the door.

'Um, I'm gonna go back to the hotel and then come back here in a different car. Just you know, to avoid too much press.' Tyler said, watching Calum's eyes dim slightly as he was brought back to their reality.

'Oh yeah of course.' Calum muttered with furrowed brows.

'Hey, I'm still gonna come back.' Tyler reminded him, desperate to reach out a hand and reassure Calum that this wasn't how he wanted it to be.

'I know.' Calum replied, his forehead smoothing again as he saw the anguish in Tyler's eyes and understood. 'Just come back soon okay?'

'As fast as I can.' Tyler smiled softly, watching Calum climb out of the car after the others with his head held high.

Calum couldn't help but glance back once at the car driving away as he walked quickly through the throng of people lining up to get into the club. But the windows were tinted black, so he caught no sight of Tyler looking back at him as well.

Tylum "you make it sound so sweet when you lie to me"

send me your favourite song and i’ll write you a blurb based on the lyrics!! 

“I told you already, it’s not true.” Calum groaned, his fingers knotted in his hair.

“But it is, isn’t it Calum? It always ends up being true.” Tyler said, and the words stung his lips as he said them.

“Why does any of this matter if you’re the one I always come back to?” Calum asked desperately, taking a step closer to Tyler.

“Because, fuck Calum, it hurts so much when you’re away!” Tyler said, trying to keep the sobs rising in his throat at bay. “I shouldn’t have to always be second guessing what stories are true and what you’re doing to hide our relationship.”

“I’m only hiding it because I want to protect you.” Calum murmured, reaching out his fingers to trail down Tyler’s jaw.

“Maybe I don’t want your protection if it traps me like this.” Tyler replied, reaching up his own hand to rest it on top of Calum’s, unsure if he wanted to keep it there or push it off.

“Tyler you know it’s not like that, I love you more than anything in the world I love you, God, I love you a lot more than I’ll ever love myself.” Calum moaned, the words hitching in his throat.

“I don’t know if that’s enough anymore Calum.” Tyler finally felt a tear break free and fall down his cheek. Calum barely seemed to notice as he stared into Tyler’s eyes.

“What more do you need? What else do you need to know other than I love you with everything in me, and I need you like no one else on earth.” Calum’s lips brushed Tyler’s before he could reply, but he knew he didn’t have any words anyway.

Tyler pressed his lips harder to Calum’s as if he could swallow the words and protect them in his stomach. As if by swallowing them and making them a part of him he could finally believe them.

“I love you.” Tyler said as they finally pulled apart.

“I love you.” Calum replied, and Tyler couldn’t tell if that sounded like a blessing or a curse.

“I think that’s why I fell in love with you in the first place.” Tyler smiled bitterly. “You make it sound so sweet when you lie to me.”

not in the script - tylum

okay this is dedicated to @caltm for having tylum dreams that give me ideas for my writing, i hope u like it!! 

‘Alright so we’re going to be filming the lacrosse game tonight, so Shelley we need you over there by those vans and someone from stunts too. Dylan and Tyler you two are over there on the bench. Hello Tyler? Can we get a move on please?’ 

Tyler suddenly realised the Director was calling his name. 

‘Oh right sorry yeah got it.’ He said quickly, jogging over to join Dylan on the bench. 

‘Dude why are you spaced out?’ Dylan asked. 

‘No reason.’ Tyler said, casting a look back over to the crowd of extras. 

‘You know you literally just gave me a super noncommittal answer and avoided my eye contact? For a professional actor you can be pretty shit at acting sometimes.’ Dylan snorted. 

‘Just one of the extras is pretty cute that’s all.’ Tyler shrugged as he turned back to Dylan. 

‘Oh so you’ve got a crush?’ Dylan laughed. 

‘Fuck off it’s not a crush.’ Tyler laughed as well, nudging the other boy with his shoulder. ‘Just saying he looks good in that lacrosse uniform.’ 

‘Hey he’s Davenport man, you can’t go for him.’ Dylan teased as he saw who Tyler was looking at. Tyler only rolled his eyes in response, waiting for the scene to start. 

‘Then we have an hour and a half to find someone with blood on their shoes.’ the younger Dylan said, giving Tyler his cue as they ran onto the pitch. 

‘One person out of fifty - fuck.’ Tyler said as the director yelled cut loudly, the irritation clear in his voice. 

‘It’s one in four hundred Posey! Where the hell did you get fifty from?’ The director questioned as Tyler’s eyes drifted over to the 50 emblazoned on the back of the extra he couldn’t keep his eyes off. 

‘Nowhere.’ he muttered. ‘Sorry, can we try it again?’ 

‘Well we’re gonna have to.’ the director rolled his eyes, signalling with a wave of his hand for everyone to go back to their starting positions. 

‘Don’t suppose that slip up had anything to do with number 50 over there?’ Dylan asked, casting a glance back at the boy who was now looking straight at them. 

‘Not you too Sprayberry.’ Tyler groaned. ‘Can a guy not check out another guy in unreasonably tight lacrosse gear in peace?’ he asked exasperatedly as Dylan laughed beside him. 

‘He’s cute I’ll give you that. Suits you too, the whole dark hair and eyes combo and the strong jaw line thing.’ Dylan commented. 

‘Yeah talking about his jaw really isn’t going to help me concentrate.’ Tyler sighed, watching as the extra (he tried to stop himself thinking of him as ‘his extra’) took off his helmet as he laughed and joked around with the others. 

‘Alright man, get your head in the game and focus.’ Dylan said with a re-assuring hand clapped on his shoulder. 

‘Was that a high school musical reference?’ Tyler had time to mutter under his breath before they were rolling again and once more he was running onto the pitch. ‘Okay it’s fine, Malia’s still going to take out the wiring on the TV vans.’ 

‘Then we have an hour and a half to find someone with blood on their shoes.’ Dylan said, looking at Tyler expectantly. 

‘One person out of hour hundred.’ he said with a shrug as the cameras panned off them. 

‘There we go!’ The director called. ‘Let’s see if we can get Posey some counting lessons for next time though.’ ~

Unfortunately, or maybe luckily for his career, Tyler’s extra seemed to disappear for the rest of the evening as they shot various other takes until finally it was nearly the end of the night and they were re-doing some of the game scenes. 

‘Okay we need to get a few more shots of Arden on the pitch so uh, 29, 45 and 50 you’re up.’ The director called to the group of extras. Tyler groaned internally as the Director signalled for him and Dylan to return to the pitch as well. 

‘Hey isn’t 50-?’ Dylan began to ask. 

‘Let’s not.’ Tyler stopped him with a sigh. 

As Arden ran across the pitch flipping Davenport players left and right Tyler chased after her as instructed, only to find himself suddenly flying through the air and landing face first on the ground. Or rather not on the ground but on number 50′s chest. 

‘Hi.’ the boy gasped, slightly breathlessly as Tyler looked at him in shock. 

‘Hi.’ he replied, unable to look away from the almost black eyes staring back at him. ‘You alright?’ 

‘More than alright.’ The unknown boy smirked.

‘Alright Posey can we stop attacking extras please?’ The director called. ‘And you number 50, try and fall and more out of the way next time.’ 

‘Will do.’ Tyler nodded, getting up and offering a hand to pull the other boy to his feet. 

‘I’m Calum by the way.’ Number 50 said as he grasped Tyler’s hand.

‘I’m Tyler but you uh, probably already knew that.’ Tyler cringed, running a hand through his hair as Calum laughed. 

‘Come on Posey let’s try that again without any falls this time.’ The director called and so Tyler turned, casting one last look over his shoulder at Calum, and jogged away. 

~

‘Alright people let’s call that a night.’ The director announced a few hours later. ‘Shelley we might need to go over your parts again tomorrow to sort out those glitches with the pyrotechnics and Arden we’re probably going to re-shoot that fight scene. You just need to, stop being so damn nice!’ He laughed as Arden shrugged apologetically. Everyone made their way back to their trailers to be cleared up of various grass stains and fake blood injuries. 

‘Hey buddy, saw that little collision with number 50 earlier.’ Dylan said cheerfully as he walked up beside Tyler. 

‘His name’s Calum actually.’ Tyler informed him as Dylan snorted with laughter. 

‘So you’re on first name terms now?’ 

‘Dylan junior was more supportive of this than you by the way.’ Tyler said as he narrowed his eyes at the other boy. 

‘I asked you guys to stop calling me that.’ The younger Dylan whined as he joined them. 

‘Not gonna happen Junior.’ The older Dylan grinned down at him, ruffling his hair in the process. 

‘Can we go back to making fun of Tyler now?’ he asked as he tried to re-style his hair. 

‘Oh good point.’ Dylan laughed. ‘Now’s your chance to make your move.’ he said to Tyler, nodding over to where the extra’s were all gathered to change out of the costumes. 

‘Maybe I will.’ Tyler said defensively with a tilt of his chin. Before the other two could say anything else, or he could realise how bad an idea this was, he walked over to the group of extras. ‘Hey, Calum?’ he called out, his heart fluttering as the other boy turned round. 

‘Oh hi.’ the other boy said slightly nervously as he walked over to join Tyler. 

‘Is your uh, your chest okay? I fell on you pretty hard.’ Tyler said awkwardly. 

‘I told you it’s fine.’ Calum chuckled as they walked along together. ‘I’ve got nothing against being thrown around by you.’ he said, the smirk returning to his face. 

‘That’s good to know.’ Tyler replied, letting out a chuckle of his own. ‘Maybe without the lacrosse padding next time?’ 

‘Maybe we could try without any clothing at all?’ Calum suggested, coming to a stop.

Tyler looked around, noticing for the first time that they’d walked behind the makeup trailer and were now out of sight of the others. 

‘I mean, actually fuck this foreplay I’ve been wanting to do this all evening.’ Tyler said, stepping forward and cupping the other’s boys face in his hands. He pressed his lips firmly to Calum’s, moaning slightly as Calum pressed his body flush against Tyler’s. They stumbled backwards until Calum was pressed against a wall and Tyler paused to run his hands through Calum’s curls. Calum resumed the kiss, slipping his tongue into Tyler’s mouth as they both let out soft moans. 

‘Tyl - woah.’ Dylan began as Calum and Tyler sprang apart. ‘That is uh, that is not in the script.’ he said. 

‘I think it could add a new angle to the show.’ Calum said, causing Dylan to laugh. 

‘Hey Junior!’ Dylan yelled round the corner. ‘You owe me twenty dollars!’ 

‘I told you not to-’ the younger Dylan said before he stopped. ‘Wait you were right?’ 

‘See for yourself buddy.’ Dylan grinned as he gestured over to Tyler and Calum who were still a little too close to be considered appropriate. 

‘You two were making bets on me?’ Tyler said indignantly as Dylan handed over the twenty to the other boy. 

‘I mean I was right though so?’ Dylan shrugged as he pocketed the note. ‘And technically I was the one who made you go over to talk to him so you kinda owe me as well.’ 

‘Yeah whatever, but now you’re kinda interrupting us which I’m pretty sure is the opposite of being a wingman?’ Tyler pointed out. 

‘Alright we’re leaving.’ Dylan said raising his hands in surrender. 

‘I’m a big fan of your work by the way Mr O’Brien!’ Calum called after them as the walked away. 

‘Huh, Mr O’Brien.’ Dylan smiled. ‘I like this kid! Keep him around!’ He yelled over his shoulder as he and the other Dylan left them in peace again. 

‘So, what do you say to sticking around?’ Tyler asked as he turned back to Calum. 

‘Instead of sticking around here how about we go back to your place?’ Calum asked, leaning in closer to the other boy once more. 

‘That works too.’ Tyler grinned, tilting Calum’s face up to reconnect their lips.

Apartment (Tylum AU)

Wowie okay hi. So I was gonna write a music shop tylum AU (which I will) but this one wrote itself while I was listening to a song so…

‘The first time I saw you was in your apartment, I had followed my friends single file through the darkness. I looked your direction for a single inspection, and could not muster the courage to say a single word to you …’ -Apartment, Modern Baseball

Friday nights usually meant nights out, hangovers in the morning, and great stories to tell. Well, alright, so maybe that was before Calum moved across the whole damn world because his best friend had convinced him that it was a good idea. Somehow, for the past month all he managed to do on a Friday night was stay in, and wish to be back home where he could go to all his favourite places to be on a weekend. However, this night was different.

“Calum, you’re always complaining about being bored so get your ass up, we’re going out,” was all that was said before Michael was dragging his best friend, and roommate, out of the shitty apartment that they could barely even afford. “We’re going to a friend’s house, and we’re going to hang out, and it’ll be-”

“Fun?” Calum huffed softly as he shoved a beanie over his unruly mess of curls that were still just a little damp to where you could tell that he had taken a shower recently.

Fifteen minutes and an argument over who gets to control the radio, the pair had arrived at an apartment just slightly better than the one that they were sharing. “Alright, so you’re gonna like this guy. His name’s Ty-” Michael’s words were cut off for the second time that night when the door was opened before either of them even got the chance to knock.

“Michael! Hey man, I was worried you wouldn’t make it.”

Calum had ended up blocking out the whole greeting the moment he saw the bright smile coming from the person that he had unfortunately never got the pleasure of seeing before the door had opened. It wasn’t like he was drooling or anything, because he wasn’t…alright? He was just… taken aback a bit. Unfortunately for him though, he was so caught up in blocking everything out, and examining the guy in front of him, he hadn’t realized that anything was going on around him until Michael was pushing him inside of the apartment, and past the handsome door-opener. There were a few people around, most laughing with a beer or a slice of pizza in their hands, so its not like it would have been awkward for Calum except for one little detail. He had no clue who anyone was.

An hour later, after he had managed to find his damn social skills, Calum found himself on the couch engaged in a conversation with a girl who was friendly, but also too flirty to realize that he wasn’t staring at her, but at the guy from the door who was across the room from him, playing the guitar with Michael. “Hey, are you thirsty? I could get you a drink?” He asked as he brought his attention to the girl who only laughed as she held up her own drink, silently answering his question. “Well, I’m gonna go get myself a drink, it was really nice talking to you.”

He walked towards the kitchen only to almost stumble over a dog that he hadn’t even noticed. How the hell could he not have noticed a dog just laying about, havin’ a grand ol’ time? Magic, obviously. With his plan for a drink completely forgotten, Calum sat on the ground, greeting the pup with the brightest smile he could muster. There was really no secret in the fact that he had always preferred dogs over humans. “Hey buddy, you having a good time just chillin’ down there?” He mumbled as he moved down so that he was laying next to the dog who happily accepted all the attention that he was given, his tail happily wagging back and forth. “Yeah, I’m not really feeling like socializing either. I mean, except with the one hot guy Mike won’t stop fuckin’ talking to.” 

“You enjoying yourself down there?” There was a soft chuckle followed after the words as Calum glanced up to see the same guy who he had been practically staring at all night smiling down at him with a raised eyebrow. Well, shit.

“Actually, I am. He’s a great listener,” Calum chuckled as he pushed himself up into a sitting position and smiled almost sheepishly. He watched as the other moved down to sit next to him, petting the dog easily with the same bright smile from earlier when he answered the door.

“She.”

“Excuse me?”

“The dog, she’s a pretty good listener. She tends to keep secrets to herself, not really talkative. Secrets like wanting to talk to hot guys though your best friend won’t stop fucking talking to him.” As he spoke, Calum could feel his entire face heat up at the words.

So he did hear what was being said. Fucking awesome.

“Oh, uh, yeah. Good because I bet whoever had said that wouldn’t want anyone to know,” Calum chuckled pathetically as he tried to turn the direction of the conversation away from the subject. He had already embarrassed himself enough when he spaced out at the door. “Calum. I’m Calum.”

“Yeah, we were introduced at the do- I’m Tyler.”

“Oh. Well, I knew that. It’s uh nice to meet you Tyler. I should uh, yeah I’m gonna go.”

Before Tyler even had a chance to say anything, Calum was up and headed towards the kitchen, mentally cursing himself. Had he not have royally embarrassed himself, he could have stayed there and wooed the pants of him. However, he was completely off his game lately. He had decided to just stay in the kitchen for a while until people started to leave. He had thought of maybe following suite, and just walking home, but he forgot his jacket, and it was raining. So, he just had to wait for Michael.

When he walked out, Tyler was laying on his back with the dog’s head on his chest by the couch, and Michael was laying on the couch, a guitar in hand as he strummed random tunes with his eyes closed. “Mike, I think I’m gonna walk home?” He called out as he leaned against a nearby wall, patiently waiting as all three pairs of eyes turned towards him.

“You don’t want to hang out a bit? Ty and I were probably just going to chill for a little longer.”

“No, I’m sure. Need to clear my head out. It was nice meeting you, Tyler.” He turned to walk out the door, securing his beanie on his head, and buttoning his flannel as he started walking back home. Not even two minutes later, he heard the door opening back up behind him, signalling someone following him.

“Hey, Calum? I just wanted to say I think you’re hot too, and that I hope you decide to hang out again soon,” Tyler called out from his spot inside the apartment.

Calum could see his smile, and the way that the light made his hair shine a bit as he stepped out a bit giving him the courage to answer back.

“Maybe next time it could be just us. We could make dinner or something.”

I did it. It’s shit…. and I lost where I was going with it a bit, but yeah… I did it. Also, I may write a second… I may not. If you haven’t heard the song Apartment by Modern Baseball, go do it because it’s good and the inspiration for it. If you like it or hate it or whatever…the fic or the song… you should let me know if you like. Okay bye.
