Description: Tyler is sent to prison. He meets his cell-mate, Y/N.
(*â»-â»*)
Tyler walks down the cell hall, assisted by 2 guards holding each of his arms in place. It's not like he needs to be held here, he was wrongly convicted of killing a man.
He fiddles with his cuffed hands, as he looks down. The people in other cells boo him and mock him as he passes their cells. He's smaller than all of them. He knows soon enough he'd be dead.
better than this hellhole. He thought to himself.
"Here we are." The man, with a deep professional voice says. Tyler walks into the cell and they take off his cuffs. He rubs his wrists, as they close the cell gate.
He looks around, and on the bottom bunk sits a girl reading a book.
"Hello." He greets, giving her a slight wave. She hesitates, as if finishing a sentence and then looks up giving him a smile.
"Hi." She looks back down and continues to read.
"What are you reading?" He gestures to the book.
"Oh, I don't know." She flips the book to look at the cover. "Oh, I guess Harry Potter? I don't know." She shrugs.
"That's a good book!" He explains. She shrugs again.
"Yeah, it's the only book I could get my hands on I guess."
"Why are you in here?"
"People think I stole from a jewelry store but it was actually my so called 'friend,' and she blamed me." She rolled her eyes.
"Wow, they should pay more attention."
"Yeah right? They wouldn't listen to what I had to say! It was just because she's a rich man's daughter." She scoffs.
"I'm in here because I killed a man." She looks at him dead in the eyes, her eyes filling with uncomforted fear. "Oh! No, I was wrongly convicted I promise!" He waved his hands. Her posture softened as she began to giggle.
"So I guess we're stuck here for a bit right?"
More like my entire life, unless if they find the ACTUAL killer.
"Yeah." Tyler gives a small smile. "But now we won't be completely alone." She nods, and returns to her book. "What's your name?"
"Oh, Y/N. What's yours?"
"Tyler. Tyler Joseph." They shake hands.

Prison has been more easier for both Tyler and Y/N since they had each other. When people would walk up on Tyler, Y/N would step in and help.
Y/N never really had much people go up to her, they just stared at her gawking. She would roll her eyes and continue reading her book like normal.
Normal prisons had girls and boys separated but this prison wasn't like that. There was a chance of either getting killed or raped in this prison which Y/N found disgusting because no one would do anything about it. Luckily, Y/N would stay near the cops at all times to prevent such thing from happening to her.
Ever since Tyler has been there, she would hang with him instead. She knew he could protect her, and she trusted him.
"Y/N?" Tyler whispered from the top bunk.
"Yeah?"
"I don't know, I was seeing if you were awake."
"Always am." She giggles a little.
"I heard some men talking about you." He said hesitantly.
"Really? I'm that famous?" She giggled again, but Tyler didn't. He stayed silent. It wasn't a big deal to her, it's not like anything could happen. She's safe with Tyler, and she also knows where the safe spots are in this hell hole.
"This is serious, Y/N. I don't want you to get hurt in here." She could tell by his tone that he was in fact serious.
"I'll be okay, Ty. You don't have to worry." She scooted her head to where she could peek up to the top bunk, and he leaned his head over to look at her.
"Just be careful okay? Tomorrow I have to clean the hallway floor, and I won't be there." There was determination in his eyes for her to understand. So she nodded, even though she didn't quite understand why he was so terrified all of the sudden for her well-being.
"I will Ty, I promise." She gives him a slight smile and he returns it with a huge grin. Before Y/N knows it he swipes his head back up onto the top bunk.
Y/N positions herself back into a sleeping position before she heard the top bunk creaking as if he was moving. Soon she heard a thud on the ground. She looks up and sees he had gotten off his bed.
He squats down to where he can look at her eye level.
"Can we kiss?" He asks innocently. Y/N giggled slightly, before nodding without second thought. He smiled, then leaned in to kiss her.
She never really kissed someone before, so she just melted into it. Their lips moving in sync. Tyler smiles before pulling away.
"Wow." Was all Y/N could think of saying. Tyler's face was bright and happy before it fell into a serious expression.
"Don't let anyone steal what we have, okay?" He grabs her hand. She furrows her eyebrows a bit, not sure of what they 'have.' But she knew what he was getting at.
He really was worried some creep would hurt her, and being in this prison, there were many dangers.
"I won't let it happen, I promise." She nods, and he gives her another smile.
She doesn't plan on breaking that promise. But it's sort of out of her control isn't it?
If only she knew what was to come.

Two parter, maybe three who knows!
