IS THIS REAL LIFE?

SHE JUST RUSHES OVER TO HIM. PAUSES. AND THEN SURGES FORWARD TO HUG HIM. EXCEPT YOU CAN SEE THE MINUTE SHE REMEMBERS THAT TOUCHING HIM WILL THROW THEM BOTH ACROSS THE ROOM. SO SHE BACKS DOWN AND JUST SORT OF STANDS THERE.

And ty just breaks down once she reaches him. Like if she was able to touch him he would be sobbing in her arms and i just cannot.

A TandyTy fic because I just couldn’t help myself- the show is fantastic and these two are absolutely magnetic! 

Enjoy!

      “Hey.”

      He sounded tired over the line. Resigned.

      “Hey yourself. Did I wake you up or something?” Tandy projected calm and collected, but deep down she was terrified the reason Ty sounded like he did was something to do with her . Her bothering him one too many times. Calling just a little too late, too often (because when Ty called her it was alway ten o’clock. Always. Tandy was nowhere near that dependable and she hated it).

      “Nah, no. I, uh, I just got home, actually” His voice wavered and Tandy was instantly worried.

      “Come over.” It was out before she’d even thought it through, but she didn’t regret it, not when she heard the soft exhale of a laugh, the barest hint of his chuckle.

      “Tandy, did you miss the part where I said I just got home? As in I was just out, and now I can finally get into bed and sleep so I’m not dead for my chemistry test tomorrow?” His words were scolding, but the laughter in his voice destroyed any weight they might have held and made her heart feel floaty.

      “How was Mister Goody Two Shoes out so late anyway? Did your mom not go ballistic?”

      Tandy was happy their joking seemed to be boosting his mood, but that worry still niggled at the back of her brain, telling her something was off.

      “She didn’t, ah, know I was gone?” His voiced ticked up at the end, and the giggle that escaped Tandy was definitely something only Ty could drag out of her.

      “Daaamn, bad boy. Ty, you know, I think I’m rubbing off on you.” The smugness in her voice was possibly a bit too forced, too tinged with the worry she was still feeling, because he went quiet on the other end of the phone.

      Tandy really started to think about the fact that Ty was just getting home at a quarter past midnight on a school night. It wasn’t altogether uncommon for him at this point, but that was usually because he was with her. Tandy shook her head when the thought occurred to her that she might somehow be jealous of wherever he was, with whomever he was with.

      No way.

      Ty was firmly and unwaveringly her friend. Because he had to be. She needed him way too much to ever fall in love with him. Her life was a toxic disaster area and he deserved a whole heck of a lot better than loving her.

      Ty broke the silence (though it wasn’t awkward- it never was with them) by clearing his throat and inhaling deeply, like he was about to launch into something- something lengthy and important. Tandy didn’t let him.

      “Seriously. Come over. You don’t sound yourself, we can just hang out for a while. I can even help you study, nerd.” She tried to leave it lighthearted, but she was serious about seeing him. She was worried. Probably over nothing, but Tandy had learned a long time ago to trust her instincts.

      He didn’t reply right away, so she opened her mouth to try and tease him mercilessly into coming, but before she could, she felt him.

      Ty didn’t make a sound when he disappeared from one place and reappeared in another. It was disconcerting as fuck. But Tandy didn’t need a sound to alert her, even though it was creepy he could just appear places silently. It was like her connection to him that always existed- down in the root of her belly somewhere, always warm and ever-present since that first night they’d touched and her world got set on fire- spiked up when he was near. It always set her heart racing. Tandy was absolutely positive it was the weird connection thing. It couldn’t just be him. 

       That would be entirely too dangerous.
