Work Text:
- Saturday
Troy reserved every Saturday for a day with Abed; usually watching TV, losing track of time in the Dreamatorium, or simply laying down together.
- Magic
He could swear that Abed's eyes had some kind of magic in them.
- Pillows
Now that he thinks about it, Abed's pillow fort was actually really cool.
- Handshake
They only stopped it when he left.
- Yogurtsburgh
That 'dweeb' Troy threw a flyer at had some mysterious yet charming aura, and beautiful eyes…
- Fear
Troy dreaded the day Abed would stop caring about him, unaware that day would never come.
- Homesick
He had traveled far and wide, and no place felt like home the way the old apartment did.
- Height
Troy always appreciated how when they hugged, his head rested against Abed's chest and just below his chin.

Abed was perfect in every way, like he was too good to be real.
- Loneliness
Troy never felt alone as long as they were together.
- Message
Troy smiled as he sent his everyday morning text: morning babe!! miss u ♡
- Blanket
Sometimes he fell asleep in the study room or the apartment, and always woke up swaddled in a blanket; he silently thanked Abed each time.

He so badly wanted Abed's lips on his own since their first day at Greendale.
- Nervous
"Just remember what Annie told you," Troy said to himself before finally telling Abed how he felt.
- Matrimony
He always knew the last name Nadir fit him like a glove.
- Bunk
Troy climbed to the top whenever he had a nightmare, knowing his best friend was right there.
- Smile
He couldn't help but grin ear to ear every time they touched.
- Emotional
"I still can't believe we're together," Troy said through happy tears.
- Secret
"I'm sick of hiding it, I just want to shout on the rooftops that I'm dating my best friend."
- Nontraditional
Romantic dinners at fancy restaurants weren't Abed's thing, and Troy wouldn't want it any other way.
- Connection
The two knew each other better than anyone else did, even themselves.
- Fate
Troy thanked his lucky stars that he and Abed took the same Spanish class all those years ago.
- Traveling
No matter where Troy went, he always saw something he knew Abed would love.
- Popcorn
Abed knew how to make his own popcorn; Troy thought it tasted better than any other kind.
- Goodbye
"I know we promised not to do this in front of the others, but it's going to be a while before we get the chance again," Troy said, kissing Abed like never before.
- Lava
Abed could almost feel the lava burning every inch of his body as Troy and Britta cloned him.
- LeVar
He tried not to think about the way his stomach churned every time he saw Geordi La Forge.
- First
Troy was his first true love, first best friend to not leave or give up, the first person that never wanted him to change.
- Lie
"I already knew you and Britta were sleeping together, it doesn't bother me."
- Marathon
Abed would be perfectly fine with binge watching bad movies with Troy forever.
- Freedom
He never had to hide or pretend to be normal with Troy.
- Show
Troy being happy was, by far, Abed's favorite thing to watch.
- Sneaking
Abed should've known their roommate would find out about the relationship 5 days in.
- Proud
No one believed Jeff when he acted like Troy & Abed's relationship wasn't the purest thing he'd ever seen.
- Family
Abed cut contact with his parents after years of being mistreated; so Shirley volunteered to walk him down the aisle.
- Vulnerable
Troy wasn't the only person to ever see him cry, but he was the only one who saw Abed full on sob.
- Robot
"Abed, I don't know why people can't see that you feel things a lot more strongly than they do."

Jeff swore he didn't cry after giving a toast at the wedding, but (like usual) Abed saw right through him.
- Complete
When he first said hello to that beautiful and charming athlete, something felt so right in life.

Some of the best days were the ones where they slept in late, wrapped in each other's arms.
- Reply
No matter how many times he got that same good morning text, Abed's heart always fluttered as he sent back: Miss you more.
- Greendale
They couldn't help but have the wedding at the very school where they fell in love.
- Jeff
While Troy chose LeVar, Abed made their mutual friend slash father figure his best man.
- Silence
Abed always found those conversations therapeutic; the ones where they didn't even need words.
- Glances
Even in the study room, he would often look over at Troy and remember why he smiles.
- Boundaries
Troy seemed to know Abed's comfort zone like the back of his hand.
- Reunion
"Yes, Troy Barnes, I will marry you."
