#i wanted to prep for rab school

[sandstonesunspear]

Me: okay this Talmud final only has 6 questions. It won't be that bad. I won't need to take a day off work to deal with this

Me, three hours later with a headache: fuck I'm gonna need to take a whole week off at the rate I'm going

Prep School AU - Tyrus

Cyrus has been going to Riverview Academy Board School for all of his life

TJ has been going to Grant High School for a while, and when his mom gets a new job opportunity on the other side of Utah, he transfers over to RABS

TJ is actually pretty excited to transfer schools, because he did some research and RABS has a really good basketball program

He takes one Saturday to get all his books in the library, and he ends up checking out a bunch of other books

He is a Fitzgerald stan, so he check out Tender is the Night because The Great Gatsby has been checked out, or so he’s told

He checks it out in the catalogue, and it says that it should still be on that same shelf, but it’s not

He goes to find it again, and sees a boy going in that same direction, with that blue book in his hand

TJ: Hey, I’ve been looking for that book? Are you checking it out?

Cyrus: No, I’m done with it, so I’m putting it back.

TJ: You didn’t check it out?

Cyrus, rolling his eyes: You’re clearly new here. Just take it.

TJ: You’re kind of rude, you know that?

Cyrus: I’m not rude, I just prefer when I don’t have to interact with nerds like you.

TJ: So you pinned me down as the nerd because I have a few books in my hand?

Cyrus: I’d hardly call seven a few.

TJ: Most of them are for my classes, but some of them are for just reading for fun.

Cyrus: Reading for fun? Yeah, I think I pinned you down pretty well. I have to go. Chess tournament.

After he leaves, TJ stands there for a little while and watches as the boy leaves

He takes the copy of The Great Gatsby, and finds that it’s stuffed with notes and things in the margins, so he takes it back to his dorm to read later.

Good news for TJ, he’s room neighbors with the library kid, who he still doesn’t know the name of

However on the doors, the names are on small plaques, so TJ finds that the kid’s name is Cyrus

Later that day, while TJ is catching up on some reading, there’s noise coming from Cyrus’ room and then there’s a door slam, followed by loud footsteps

So being the curious, and caring kid that he is, he goes and knocks on the door.

Cyrus, opening the door: I swear, Reed, if you fuc-

He stops when he sees it’s the boy from the library, and he feels his cheeks go hot from embarrassment

Cyrus: Oh, sorry. Thought you were someone else.

TJ: Yeah, I kind of heard some noise. Everything okay?

Cyrus: Why should you care? You don’t even know me.

TJ, holding up The Great Gatsby: I know that you really love this book.

Cyrus: And how do you get that?

TJ: All the notes you left throughout it. I was going to reread it, but I found your notes way more interesting. You sure had a lot to say about the ending.

Cyrus: I just did that for my class. I don’t read for fun.

TJ: Right. Well sorry for bothering you.

TJ goes back to his room and the rest of the weekend is uneventful.

A few weeks later, he finds out that Cyrus is in one of his literature classes, but that he sits near the back.

Throughout the next few weeks, TJ finds himself moving in chairs towards the back to try and get closer to Cyrus, because it always looks like he’s scribbling something in the books he has.

At some point he gets a desk behind him and slightly to the left so he can see what he’s writing.

Cyrus has a copy of A Streetcar Named Desire, which just so happens to be one of TJ’s favorite plays.

Cyrus is scribbling things in the margins, and TJ makes a point to talk to him about it.

So later that day, he knocks on Cyrus’ door, and holds his own copy of A Streetcar Named Desire

TJ: I can't stand a naked light bulb, any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action.

Cyrus:...what? I mean, I know that’s a quote but...

TJ: It’s one of my favorite plays. And probably yours too.

Cyrus: Why are you so insistent on talking to me about literature?

TJ: I’m sure you like it, even if you don’t want to admit it. Don’t worry, I won’t tell your chess buddies.

Cyrus doesn’t know what comes over him, but he lets TJ come into his room, and the posters on his wall that you can’t see when you walk in are covered in little tidbits of writing and literature.

TJ: And you called me a nerd.

Cyrus: I’m not a nerd, I just have passions.

TJ: I’m teasing, I think it’s nice. Haven’t met someone who likes literature as much as I do.

They make it an unofficial official thing to meet up on Saturdays in Cyrus’ room to talk about either the book that they’re reading in their literature class or one that they read for fun.

Cyrus discovers that TJ is a theatre person like himself, considering he reads a lot of plays

TJ learns that Cyrus never reads without a pencil in his hand to underline things that he liked, or to make notes in the margins of the pages

One day Cyrus repaints part of his room (the accent wall, if you will) so they hang out in TJ’s room while it dries

And that’s when he sees that TJ’s really into basketball as well

Cyrus: So, you’re a sports guy?

TJ: More like a sport guy. Singular.

Cyrus: I can’t play to save my life.

Cyrus isn’t sure why he’s suddenly opening up to this new person, considering he hasn’t known him that long, but every time he tries to say something snarky, it comes out as more teasing and flirty rather than rude

Winter comes along, which means basketball season, and Cyrus finds himself watching one of TJ’s games.

It is in this moment, looking at him seem almost effortless on the court, while parts of his hair fall over his forehead, that he realizes he has a small crush on TJ

Well, not that small. It was probably small a little while ago, but now that he’s admitted it to himself, it seems to be the only thing his mind can focus on

One time during a history lecture, he was staring at the back of TJ’s head, and when the teacher asked for the name of a battle, his response was “cute”

TJ did not let go of that for a whole week, but he didn’t know it was because of him

As Cyrus’ crush becomes more of a problem, as hanging out with TJ makes him more flustered, he starts to push him a way a little

It’s not a major thing at first, just little excuses to miss a literature chat every now and again

And maybe he doesn’t show up to many of his games anymore

TJ starts to worry that he did something wrong, and so he tries to find Cyrus, but the boy is really good at avoiding him

One day, he finds him curled up in his room under a blanket, looking severely distressed, so he comes in without even asking

TJ: Are you okay?

Cyrus, snapping: Yeah, I’m fine. I don’t need help.

TJ: You look like you’re about to cry.

Cyrus, voice breaking: I’m not! Everything’s fine, just leave me alone!

TJ, taking a step back: Okay. Sorry, I guess.

When he leaves and closes the door, Cyrus cries quietly, because he’s lost his only true friend

See, what had happened was that he was talking to a few of his friends about TJ, and they were teasing him about his obvious crush on the boy

But not in a playful way. They were making him feel bad about liking another boy, so they had pretty much cut ties that day

In short, Cyrus had nobody

A few days go by without TJ walking with him to class, or asking him if he’d finished a certain book

TJ ends up in the library one day when he’s supposed to talk to Cyrus, but he already knows he’ll say know, so he flicks through the library’s copy of  The Glass Menagerie

Cyrus ends up going to the library as well, unbeknownst to TJ, and approaches him

Cyrus: Time is the longest distance between two places.

TJ, jumping a little: Oh, hey. Nice quote.

Cyrus: Good choice of a play.

There’s a bit of silence before they speak again.

Cyrus: I’m sorry I yelled at you that day. I’ve just. . .had a lot going on.

TJ: It’s fine. Everything okay?

Cyrus, shaking his head: My friends cut ties with me.

TJ: What, why? You’re so great to be around.

Cyrus, blushing lightly: Thanks that. . .means a lot. They, uh, they kind of found out that. . .that I’m gay.

TJ: Cyrus, they’re assholes for cutting ties because of that. You’re still the same literature nerd you’ve always been.

Cyrus: I’m glad I told you.

TJ: Me too.

They hug in reconciliation, and in that moment, TJ realizes that he doesn’t really want to let go for a while, but that would be weird, so he does

They spend the rest of the day talking about the books they read while they weren’t together

So things have gone mostly back to the way they were. Every now and again TJ and Cyrus try and sit with more people during lunch, but they end up having their own conversation

So they start having lunch in the courtyard by the big oak tree when it’s nice outside

One time it starts raining, and neither of them expected it, but TJ had a jacket, which he gave to Cyrus to cover himself

When they get inside, TJ’s hair is a damp mess, and Cyrus decides he likes it best this way

Also TJ never gets his jacket back

The next few weeks go great, and the two of them are hanging out so much that other people wonder if they’re dating or not

One day, after reading the Great Gatsby for the millionth time, Cyrus decides to just suck it up and ask TJ on a date

Except he doesn’t know how

So, he does what any logical literature nerd would do: he copies down all the best love lines from TJ’s favorite books

He picks a day when they talk about books to do it, so it doesn’t seem to out of the ordinary

TJ: Okay, so I just finished reading Huck Finn, and I already-

Cyrus: Actually, is it okay if I go first today?

TJ: Yeah, sure.

Cyrus: I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

TJ: You read Gatsby again?

Cyrus, shaking his head: No, just listen.

Cyrus: A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it's curved like a road through mountains.

TJ: Streetcar Named Desire, right? I love that quote.

Cyrus, sighing: Dammit, TJ, I like you.

TJ, taken aback: Wait, what?

Cyrus: I thought that maybe if I dropped a few romantic literary lines you’d pick up on it. Guess I was wrong.

And Cyrus is pretty discouraged at this point, but TJ just places his hand on top of Cyrus’

TJ: That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.

They smile at each other like dorks, and spend the rest of the afternoon sitting there together, hands intertwined

Cyrus asks TJ to go on a date the next day, and of course he says yes

Where do they go, you might ask?

They go to the local library (not the one in the school) and pick out books for each other. Then they go back to their dorms and one reads while the other sits there

They take turns, and after a little while, none of them can concentrate on the book because oh my gosh they’re on a date.

Cyrus: Hey TJ?

TJ: Mhm?

Cyrus: Can I kiss you?

TJ, flustered: I don’t know, can you?

And he can, Cyrus can and does kiss him

Cyrus: Yeah, I think so
