TW: Slight Angst, University!AU

The original idea was Martyn was supposed to come over so him and Toby could study, Martyn even thought about making a move on Toby but in the end that failed. This is how it went.

It was the first day of University at Manchester (Author note: I know Martyn and maybe either Toby didn't go here but yolo.) and Martyn was already in class, except it was the form one so they weren't being taught, it was awkward form is the time when everyone hangs out with mates, talks about stuff and even more boring stuff. Everyone had mates apart from Martyn, he couldn't blame himself though because he thought he was weird but maybe things would change sometime soon? And boy did they.

5 Minutes later, a head teacher and a student came into the room, 'Who's he?' Martyn thought. Martyn guesses he was new to this school; the head teacher started talking to the new boy and then left the room. "Silence class, I have an announcement to make." And that moment, everyone was quiet. "This is our new student, would you like to introduce yourself?"
"Uh, hello I'm Toby Cottrell. It's nice to meet you all." The boy said. Toby had brown hair, it wasn't that short and wasn't that long but it wasn't girly it was boyish a bit, but also girly at the same time if that makes sense, he wore glasses and wore a purple jumper and black pants, he smiled at the end of his sentence.
"I hope you will enjoy this form, Toby. You can sit next to Martyn." The teacher said. Toby came and sat over next to Martyn, "Hi there. Welcome. I'm Martyn, and if you need any help ask me." Toby nodded, he didn't say anything just nodded his head.

Martyn felt happy for once in his life, like he had just made a new friend. And maybe this is how it's supposed to be.

"Martyn Littlewood please come to the head teachers office." The speaker said. I groaned, way to interrupt my conversation with Toby. It had been two weeks since Toby and I had met and now we're excellent friends, I was right about making a new friend. "See you later?" Toby asked, I nodded "of course." I waved off and walked away, heading towards the teachers' office, I finally got there and knocked on the door, and heard shouting saying 'Do come in.' so I did. As soon as I got in there, I sat down on the chair and we talked... the head teacher and I.

All he said was I need to improve my grades and then sooner or later Toby came to the office, he looked shocked he didn't even know why he was here. "Toby and Martyn, I hear you're great friends yes?" The head asked. We both nodded, "good because I see that Toby has excellent grades –almost perfect so Toby I want you to tutor Martyn." Toby gasped and then accepted the request. We was told to leave so we did, as soon as we got out the room we stood near our lockers – because our lockers were so close together and basically we talked, I gave Toby my address so he could come over and help me study and I gave him my number and then we left.

The bell rang a few moments later.

As soon as I got home, all that I was thinking of was 'Toby.' I wonder if I like him. I mean I don't even know my sexual orientation... I don't know if I'm gay or bisexual or just straight. I have dated a girl before but that was ages ago. ( Author note: Kaeyi is not that girl; she doesn't exist in any of these stories.) So, it could be weird.

A few weeks later, Toby came over and help me studied a lot over the past weeks and I think I have developed a crush on him, I mean he's just too adorable and I have to say he is fit as hell. It's random, but it feels right. You know? He comes over later today, so I guess I could try and make a move on him.

- 5 hours later –

Toby came over with two pizzas: cheese pizza and a pepperoni pizza. "No garlic bread or chips?" I moaned. I couldn't complain though, I mean he didn't even say he was going to do this he just did, so yeah I think it made me like him even more you know. We sat down and ate the pizza before getting out some paper and Toby got out the textbooks luckily it was science night, so it wasn't that bad. "Mm, this pizza is lovely." I said. Toby nodded in agreement.

5 Minutes later, we actually finished the pizza ('bout time) and then got to work on studying, I tried to make that move and I put my hand on top of his hand, Toby blushed but didn't think about pulling anyway any time soon. The next thing I did was try and cuddle up to him. "Uh, Martyn are you okay?" he asked me, eyebrow furrowed.
"Yes I am, why?"
"Because you're being really weird..." Toby said."
"How?" I asked.

"By all your weird flirty things." He said.
"Oh I see, sorry..." I looked away trying to hide the sadness of my face.
"Uh... do you maybe like me?" Toby asked.
"Yes I do, and I can't not admit it. As soon as you came into my class, I was gobsmacked because of how beautiful and adorable you was. I'm sorry if I'm being weird, but I like you in a love-romantic boyfriend way. And I know that you don't like me the same way, but I think I love you." I said, blushing. My ears and face went bright pink. As soon as I said that, Toby picked up his stuff and left the house... he never said anything to me ever again.

Well actually, I never saw him again it's like he moved school.

I think he's maybe gone... my first ever friend.
