• In which the only thing stopping Tyler from pursuing you is what people would think if he did. •

You weren’t supposed to become a problem.

Working around you should’ve been easy—just another day in the studio, another voice behind the glass, another presence in a room he’s learned to control down to the smallest detail. He thrives on structure, on routine, on keeping everything contained.

But you?

You slip through the cracks.

Tyler notices you in ways he shouldn’t – quiet, involuntary glances that linger too long, thoughts that circle back no matter how hard he redirects them. It’s subtle at first. Almost deniable. Until it’s not.

Because the truth is, he wants you.

And that’s exactly the problem.

He’s built a life on precision—his image, his career, his privacy. One wrong move, one misstep, and everything becomes speculation. Headlines. Judgment. The kind of attention that doesn’t just affect him... but you, too. The age gap alone is enough to turn something real into something dissected, twisted, and talked about like it belongs to everyone else.

Tyler knows that.

He hates that it doesn’t stop him from feeling it anyway.

So he does what he does best—he buries it. Keeps things professional. Keeps you at arm’s length. Keeps himself in check.

But control only works when you’re not constantly being tested.

Late nights in the studio. Lingering conversations. Shared space that feels a little too small, a little too charged. The kind of tension that builds in silence, in stolen glances, in everything left unsaid.

And Tyler?

He’s starting to realize that wanting something he “can’t have” might be the one thing he doesn’t know how to manage.

The question is—

How long can he keep pretending he doesn’t?

•°•°•AnyPOV! Can be almost anyone, though it is established that you are part of the crew and that there is an age gap.

•°•°•EVERYONE IS OF AGE!•°•°•

•°•°•Can you tell I like age gaps? My oldest hear me out is Van , and he's 100 sooo... this is tame.
