I wasn’t expecting a knock at my door that night.
It was late, the sort of late where silence pressed in from the woods beyond my house, and the only sound was the tick of the old clock on the mantle. I almost didn’t answer who would be calling by at this hour?
But when I opened it, every breath in my chest left me all at once.
“Tyler?”
He looked different and exactly the same. His hair longer, darker under the porch light, his clothes wrinkled and damp from the mist outside. His eyes God, his eyes were the same haunted storm they’d always been. But there was something raw about him now, something fractured.
And I knew, before he even opened his mouth, where he’d come from.
“Please,” he rasped, glancing over his shoulder as though the night itself hunted him. “Don’t slam the door. Just please. Let me in.”
My throat went dry. I should’ve screamed. I should’ve called the sheriff, or anyone really. He was dangerous. He was hunted.
But he was still Tyler Galpin. The boy I’d loved once. The boy who broke me in two when he’d ended things with no explanation. The boy I’d never quite stopped loving, no matter how I tried.
“Y/n,” he said again, his voice cracking on my name. “I don’t have anywhere else to go.”
My hand tightened on the doorframe, but my heart had already betrayed me. I stepped aside. “Get in. Quick.”
He moved past me like a shadow, pulling the hood of his jacket lower. I shut the door, locked it, pressed my back against it as though I could hold back the world outside.
Silence.
For a long, trembling moment, neither of us spoke. Then I managed, “You escaped.”
His jaw clenched. “They call it escaping. I call it surviving.”
I swallowed. “The police...”
“Are hunting me. I know.” His eyes found mine, desperate, pleading. “That’s why I came here. You’re the only one I can trust.”
My laugh came out sharp, brittle. “Trust? Tyler, you lied to me for months. You broke up with me without even telling me why. Then I find out you’re...” My words tangled, the memory burning my throat. “that thing. That Hyde.”
He flinched, but didn’t deny it. “I know what I am. That’s why I ended it with you. I thought I could protect you. Keep you safe. But I see now walking away only hurt you worse.”
The anger I’d buried for years clawed its way back up, mixing with something far more dangerous: longing. “So why are you here now? What do you want from me?”
His answer was immediate, raw. “I want you to be my master.”
The air left the room.
“What?”
He stepped closer, every line of him taut with urgency. “I can’t control it. Not alone. Without a master, the Hyde takes over I become something else, something I can’t stop. But you...” He reached for my hand, hesitant, like he wasn’t sure he had the right. “You could control me. You could keep me from hurting anyone. From hurting you.”
I snatched my hand back, heart slamming. “Tyler, do you hear yourself? You want me to own you like some weapon?”
“Yes.” The word fell from him like a vow. “Because I’d rather be bound to you than lose myself again.”
I stared at him, torn in two. Everything in me screamed to keep the walls up, to stay angry, to stay safe. But underneath that, something older and softer stirred. The memory of stolen kisses in the car park after school. Of coffee runs that turned into hours of laughter. Of the way he’d once looked at me like I was the only light in his whole damn world.
“You can’t just come back here after everything,” I whispered. “You can’t expect me to… to forgive you. To trust you.”
His chest rose and fell, ragged. “I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just need you to see that I never stopped loving you.”
And then he kissed me.
It wasn’t gentle, not like before. It was desperate, fierce, tasting of fear and hope and the years we’d lost. His hands framed my face, trembling like he thought I might vanish if he didn’t hold on tight enough.
I should’ve pushed him away. I should’ve screamed, should’ve resisted. But my body betrayed me I melted into him, clung to him, kissed him back with all the fury of the love I’d buried.
When we broke apart, breathless, my voice was barely a whisper. “Tyler…”
He pressed his forehead to mine, eyes shut tight. “Say yes. Please. Be the one who keeps me human.”
And in that moment, I wasn’t sure which of us was more dangerous his Hyde, or my heart.
His forehead rested against mine, his breath mixing with mine, his hands still trembling against my skin. My heart felt like it was clawing at my ribs, desperate to break free, to scream sense into me. Yet I didn’t move.
“Say yes,” he whispered again, voice breaking. “Say you’ll be my master. Say you’ll keep me safe.”
My lips parted, but no sound came out. How could I? How could he even ask?
“You don’t understand what you’re asking.” My voice came out hoarse.
“I do,” Tyler shot back, pulling away just enough to look into my eyes. “I’ve lived with this thing inside me for years. I know what it does. I know what it wants. But when I’m with you, Y/n… it’s quiet. It’s like you’re the only thing that can drown it out.”
I shook my head, retreating a step. “That’s not fair. You can’t put that on me. I’m not your saviour, Tyler. I’m just...”
“The girl I love.” His words hit like a bullet.
I froze.
He kept going, the dam in him breaking open. “I loved you then, before everything. I loved you when I pushed you away, even when it killed me. And I love you now, standing here, begging you to take me back in any way you’ll have me.”
Tears stung my eyes. I hated him for it. I hated that even now, after everything, a part of me wanted to throw myself into his arms and never let go.
“I don’t know if I can trust you,” I admitted, voice shaking. “You hurt me, Tyler. You shattered me. And I don’t know if I can go through that again.”
He swallowed hard, eyes shining with something raw. “Then let me prove it. Let me show you I’ll never hurt you again."
His hand reached for mine again, and this time I didn’t pull away. His fingers threaded through mine, warm and desperate, grounding me in a way I didn’t want to admit I needed.
“You don’t get it,” I whispered, blinking back tears. “I never stopped loving you either. That’s what scares me.”
His breath hitched. “Then don’t be scared. Please. We’ll figure this out together.”
The silence between us grew heavy, charged, until it felt like the air itself was trembling. His thumb brushed over the back of my hand, slow, tender, and before I realised what I was doing, I was leaning in again.
This kiss was different. Softer. A question instead of a demand. I let myself sink into it, let myself remember the boy I’d once known, the boy who’d stolen my heart long before monsters and masters and blood.
When we broke apart, his forehead dropped to my shoulder, and I could feel him shudder. “I can’t lose you again,” he murmured against my skin. “I’d rather be chained to you forever than live one more day without you.”
My heart twisted painfully. “You’re asking me to hold the key to your life. To decide who you are.”
“I’m asking you to keep me human,” he whispered.
I closed my eyes, my mind racing. Could I? Should I? The logical part of me screamed no. This was madness. Dangerous. I’d be binding myself to something I didn’t even understand.
But the other part of me the part that still remembered our first kiss behind the school bleachers, the way he used to doodle stupid sketches on my notes, the way he once held me like I was the centre of his universe wanted to say yes.
And that part was louder.
We ended up on the sofa, side by side, not quite touching. His presence filled the space between us, humming with unspoken words. I found myself stealing glances at him, at the curve of his jaw, the faint scar near his temple I’d never noticed before.
“Do you regret it?” I asked quietly.
His brow furrowed. “Regret what?”
“Us. Breaking up. Walking away.”
His answer was immediate. “Every single day.” He looked at me then, and the sheer honesty in his gaze nearly undid me. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I thought… I thought if I stayed, I’d destroy you.”
“You did anyway,” I said, the bitterness slipping out before I could stop it.
He winced. “I know. And I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to make it right if you’ll let me.”
The silence stretched, thick with everything unsaid. Then, almost without thinking, I reached out and touched his hand where it rested on his knee. He went still, then slowly turned his palm up, letting my fingers slide into his.
The heat of his skin was electric.
“I don’t know if I can do this,” I whispered.
“Then let me help you decide.” His voice dropped lower, rougher. He leaned in, his breath brushing my cheek. “Let me remind you how much we belong together.”
Before I could answer, his lips found mine again. This kiss burned. It was electric with tongue and years of pent-up longing unleashed. His hands framed my face, slid down my neck, lingered at my waist. I gasped against him, clutching his shirt, and the sound he made in response sent heat flooding through me.
We broke apart only to breathe, foreheads pressed together, chests heaving.
“Tell me you don’t feel it,” he murmured. “Tell me this doesn’t mean anything.”
I couldn’t. God help me, I couldn’t.
Instead, I pulled him back to me, kissing him until the world outside ceased to exist. Until it was just him and me, the way it had always been meant to be.
Later, when the fire had burned low and the house was quiet again, we sat in the half-dark, tangled up in each other. His head rested against mine, his arm draped over my shoulders like he never wanted to let go.
“Say it,” he whispered into my hair. “Say you’ll be my master.”
I hesitated, staring into the dying embers. My life had been ordinary once. Safe. But I’d loved Tyler even then. And now here he was, broken and dangerous and still mine, asking me to take on the risk of a lifetime.
My pulse raced, but my voice came steady. “Yes.”
He stiffened, then pulled back just enough to search my face. “Yes?”
I nodded, swallowing the fear that came with the word. “Yes. I’ll do it. I’ll be your master. I’ll keep you safe.”
Relief crashed over his features, raw and overwhelming. He cupped my face, kissed me with a fervour that stole my breath. “You won’t regret this,” he whispered between kisses. “I swear to you, Y/n, you won’t.”
But as I clung to him, heart pounding, a chill curled through me. Because deep down, I knew one thing with terrifying certainty.

The Uncertain-T build was started in the early '60s by a teenager named Steve Scott, working in his parents' garage.
Once the Uncertain-T was finished, it swept the awards at the car shows that year, beating out established customizers like Barris, Roth, and Winfield.
Eventually, though, it faded from sight—until now.
You caramel drizzled my heart (Tyler Galpin X Reader)
Y/N's P.O.V
Pushing open the glass door of the all too familiar Weathervane cafe, I walked in past the "Closed" sign, looking around confused as to why Tyler wanted to meet me here, after hours.
Noticing my favourite person in the cafe was nowhere to be seen, I continued to walk up to my usual booth in the corner, only to be greeted with a beautiful bunch of sunflowers in a glass vase set on the middle of the table alongside a note that read "Will be right with you darling".
Smiling to myself, I sat down on the red cushion, admiringly running my fingers along the bright yellow petals of the flowers, that Tyler knows makes me smile the brightest.
Being dazed by the sunflowers for a moment too long, I did not notice the book placed next to the vase at an initial glance with yet another note in the first page. "Start reading darling. I know you don't like to be idle. I'll be right there".
Feeling myself smile even more, I leaned back into the cushion before starting to read, though my mind was running around in circles as to what my boyfriend was up to, knowing he has many tactics up his sleeve to make me smile and blush bright red, "like a beautiful rose", he would say.
After a few minutes of trying to focus on reading the words imprinted on the crispy white pages, I heard a familiar voice and with a glance I noticed my favourite mop of caramel coloured hair standing in front of me with this charming toothy grin.
"Happy Valentine's Day darling!!" he said cheerily, placing a big cup of hot chocolate in front of me with a caramel drizzled heart in the middle of the light brown coloured drink, which made me feel all fuzzy and warm at the sight.
"Tyler!!" I gasped, already feeling the blush creep up to my cheeks, before squeezing myself out of the booth and to his arms, which immediately wrapped around me tightly, pulling me closer to his chest where I could hear the gentle beat of his heart. "Happy Valentine's Day Tyler".
In complete silence, we stood there for a few moments - rocking from side to side for a little bit, just hugging before I pulled back a little nuzzling our noses together and peeking a glance at the table.
"I love the heart you caramel drizzled on my hot chocolate" I whispered and pressed a loving kiss on his forehead, lifting a few of his caramel coloured curls away from his eyes, "you aced a perfect heart Tyler".
Slowly, he leaned in with a chuckle and cupped one side of my jaw, trailing his fingertips over over my skin. "A perfect heart is what you have darling".
"Someone is being extra sweet" I chuckled shyly at his words, catching his big orbs looking lovingly at me. His fluffy strands of hair was sticking up in the most adorable way.
"That is more of a messy drizzle of a heart" he said sounding a bit disappointed, "I've been practicing for weeks to make it perfect but this is as close as I could get...".
"I could have drizzled the caramel better" he pouted nuzzling into my neck. To cheer him up a little, I pressed a kiss on his nose and then nuzzled it with my own again, making him grin.
"Tyler Galpin, you caramel drizzled every inch of my heart since the day I met you" I smiled softly up at him, his eyes fluttering shut when I placed a lingering kiss on his lips.
When he drew away from me, he gave me a small smile with a little twinkle in his eyes, "Now who's being too sweet". Grinning, I couldn't help but give him a playful shove, "I can't help it".
"You caramelised my heart Tyler" I told him, and felt him radiate heat again, cheeks glowing brightly as his piercing green eyes began to sparkle.
A lovesick feeling washed over me, numbing my senses and fluttering hard in my stomach as he leaned in towards me and pressed his soft lips against mine, kissing me so carefully.
Now grinning myself, I placed my head back on the place where his heart is to listen to the familiar beating, as I felt him bury himself deeper into my arms, where I'm now sure no-one will hurt him anymore, because I'll protect his broken soul, and will do everything to heal him the best I can.
Tyler's P.O.V
I found myself unable to stop smiling as I watched Y/N look back up at me with her sweet eyes while I pulled out my laptop from my bag, as we sat back down on the booth, turning on a movie which made her squeal excitedly & bump her forehead against mine. Her eyes sparkled brightly, showing me her happiness. "Hot chocolate, sunflowers and high school musical 3! Tyler this is the most perfect date ever!".
"I thought I put you through enough by having you watch High school musical 1 and 2 with me" she smiled shyly, which made me puller her closer than possible, peppering her face with a million kisses, which made her giggle more, making my heart flutter with every sweet sound she made.
"Darling, I enjoyed every second I got to cuddle you through both the movies while you sang out every song... and this time we get to sing together" I smiled, watching her eyes light up like the beautiful crystals they are as I felt myself get lost in her eyes, so mesmerised, falling deeper and deeper to an infinite pool of love. "We?".
"I learnt the lyrics for every song in High school musical 3 so we can sing together" I confessed shyly as I watched her smile grow with every passing moment what got my heart missing a pulse or two. Y/N did something to me I couldn't define, but it felt like some kind of force, something that I couldn't fight against.
She smiled brightly with rosy cheeks, her expression softening as her eyes looked at me up and down. Her face up close was even more beautiful than when I looked at her from a small distance. Y/N dealt with me like this a lot. She knew I tend to daydream in front of her, but she never knew it was about her.
Only when she carefully cupped my cheeks into her palms, as if I'd break any second, did she pull me out of my daydream about her. "Tyler shall we start?".
"Yes yes" I pulled back with slightly reddened cheeks to which she quickly pressed a kiss on my lips, what made me smile, my heart fluttering at her adorableness. "Let's start".
Being cuddly, I slowly pressed myself against her and wrapped my arms around her body to hold her, listening to the change of her breathing pattern. She'd stir for a second and then relaxed while being held in my embrace as close as possible as I let out a happy sigh in return.
There was nothing more I loved than to hold Y/N.
It was the best feeling to be in her arms, where I feel safe.
Halfway into the movie, the song I've been waiting for started playing, as Y/N gave me a puzzled look when I stood up extending my hand to take hers. "Darling, can I have this dance?"
With bright red cheeks this time, she nodded, as I took hold of her small hands, giving each a little kiss and placing them around my neck. Then I placed my hands on to her waist and pulled her closer as we started to sway back and forth gently to the beat of the music. We shared a small kiss, and smiled, feeling happy.
After a few moments, I swiftly twirled her around to which a small giggle escaped her lips as I caught her in a hug, and felt her growing boneless in my arms, relaxing to the warmth of my body and the steady beating of my heart.
"You are my person Y/N" I blurted, and felt my cheeks go red in embarrassment when my emotions suddenly poured out of me, as if I finally opened myself up to her, this time all the way.
When I drew away from her, she gave me a small smile, shyly looking down. "I am?".
My hand closed in on hers, fingers sliding between the gasps of her digits. With our hands intertwined, she finally dared to look up at me with her beautiful pair of eyes that still showed me the world. "Yes, you are".
"You are my 'I messed up, what do I do now' person" I said, pressing kisses on her hair. "You are my 'wanna grab a coffee together?'person" I placed a big, sloppy kiss on both her rosy cheeks, making her giggle sweetly. My heart fluttered in adoration.
"You are my 'for you, a thousand times over' person" I cradled her baby-soft cheeks between my palms & pressed a long kiss to her forehead to which Y/N smiled softly with such pure eyes that it took me aback a little.
"You are my 'let's go watch the sunset' person" I continued slowly but with lots of smiles and giggles, which cheered me up, honestly. Y/N is always so happy when I kiss her, and vice versa. The gesture just makes my heart warm and makes butterflies tickle the walls of my stomach. "You are my 'I am hungry, Let's go get something' person".
"You are my 'I have something to tell you' person", my fingers tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, making her even more beautiful than she already is, as I trailed the back of my fingers over her cheek to caress while keeping my eyes on hers, "you are my 'what would I do without you?' person".
"You are my 'I can only talk to you about this' person" I whispered, resting my head on top of hers as we stood, enjoying our own little bubble.
"You are my person Y/N" I held her hands and placed them on my chest where she could feel every beat of my heart. Every beat which is present because of her.
"I know I am not close to even deserving you Y/N" I said, my eyes filling with tears "but god, I want to. I want to spend the rest of my life trying to deserve you".
Neither one of us said anything to each other for a while, we just looked deeply into the other's eyes. Y/N had that look which made my heart beat in my throat. It was the kind of look that said more than words, more than gestures. It was something that just spoke to me.
"There will never be another" I vowed. When I said this to her, I made sure to look deep into her eyes to make sure she understood every word I spoke, "I promise that I will love you for the rest of my life".
Y/N and I continued to look at each other for a little bit longer before I let my own eyes flutter shut and then leaned my head a little to the right to properly kiss her.
"I love you Tyler" Y/N suddenly whispered against my lips, causing my heart to do flips and jumps. It took so long before she first said those three words to me. And she doesn't say them without a reason.
"You are my person too Tyler" Y/N whispered back at me, and looked at me with her eyes clouded with love, which took me aback a little because I had never seen these emotions so intense.
Grinning, I brushed my hand over her hair, as my arms held her close to my chest, as if I wanted to protect her from the outside world and everyone else. "I love you too Y/N".
"You will always be my forever" Y/N murmured and shyly looked down with slightly reddened cheeks before looking back into my eyes. Once I looked at her I could feel the happiness blooming inside me, as if her eyes were the calm, beautiful morning after a night full of storm.
"If not you, then no one else" I smiled wetly as I grabbed her face in my hands and pulled her closer to my own, just to press my lips on top of hers in need for her love. Y/N froze in shock for just a second before she caught up with me and kissed back.
When our lips were locked, moving gently, I could feel my head spinning, my emotions encircling me like a tornado.
Her heartbeat was audible when I kissed her, causing my cheeks to glow even brighter. We were always so excited to be alone and to show each other love.
After a few minutes we pulled back and just stared at each other while resting intertwined, letting our heartbeats match.
A smile that reached both her eyes was plastered on her face, looking peaceful and at ease with me. My own smile couldn't be held down and became visible as I pulled her closer to my body and brushed my hand through her hair.
Our eyes kept staring at each other, drowning in the colours of our irises, heartbeats changing until they were beating on the same rhythm. It felt like I couldn't breathe.
We stood like that for about 30 seconds, just staring at each other like we saw water burning in front of us. My thoughts were blank, clouded and unclear, as if the feeling of love fogged up my senses.
"My heart is perfect because you are in it" I heard Y/N whisper in that angelical kind of voice that got me swooning over her as she pressed a kiss right on the place where my heart is located. A wave of warmth consumed me. It was something only she could make me feel like; it was something indescribable but so incredibly good. I could only define it as love. Pure love.
At that moment I felt the safest I had ever felt. There was something about the way she kissed me, about the way she wrapped her arms around my neck and kept me close. There was something about her that silenced the demons in my head and made me feel normal, like a normal person.
My armour, that I wear to get through every day, fell off.
Every time I see her smile my heart forgets it was broken.
Each of us is a story waiting for a devoted reader who will take us off the shelf and embrace all our plot twists and I don't know anything about the future of my story but I find myself sitting with her on the beautiful side of hope.
