Prompt: Accidentally buttdials crush while talking about them to a friend

Tyrus oneshot:

Cyrus POV:

I was home talking to Andi on a Friday. We were chatting about everything and nothing all at once. I had my phone unlocked next to me but wasn't paying much attention to it. Neither of us were.

"So! Tell me about TJ!! Have you talked to him lately??" Andi was jumpy and excited, shes wanted to know everything since Ive told her about my crush.

I leaned back and sighed slightly laughing.

"Oh im leaning on my phone" i picked it up and kind of cast it to the other side of the bed not caring if i opened any games.

"Nice diversion. seriously tell meee have you told him yet?"

"No I havent told him yet! Hes gona hate me"

"He is not going to hate you because of how you feel."

"But what if he does what if i ruin every good thing between us.."

"Hes a good person. Hes your best friend even if he doesnt feel the same he'll totally understand"

"But like its gona hurt when he doesn't feel the same"

"No. If not when"

"No when there is no way he likes me even the slightest."

"Well how do you know"

"Because he's this amazing and athletic guy who everyone swoons over and Im me. Im just this small nerdy guy who cant throw or catch a ball if my life depended on it"

"That doesnt matter Cyrus. Youre his bestfriend you have a big heart and a wonderful sense of humor."

"But Andi you dont get it. I am completely and utterly in love with TJ and its going to destroy me"

*'Cy??'*

"What was that?"

"I think it was your phone."

*'Cy you buttdialed me buddy'*

I grabbed my phone with lightning speed and looked to see who i had called.

"Who is it? Cyrus?"

I pointed the screen towards her.

"TJ.. Cyrus I'm sorry"

"Not your fault"

*'wait underdog its okay-'*

"How much of the conversation did you hear?"

There was a pause at TJs end of the line

"TJ?"

*'all of it...'*

"Oh my god"

"Cyrus calm down"

*'Cy can we talk about it?'*

"No i cant believe this is happening"

I hung up, much to Andis dismay

"Cyrus its okay he didnt seem upset"

"Thats because we didn't see his initial reaction"

"Cyrus please calm down."

"I can't! He just heard me say that I am in LOVE with him. He wasn't meant to know how I felt yet"

"But now that he does you have to face it. Look he's calling back. Answer it and talk to him"

I looked over at my phone, which was screen up on the bed. My screen was on with TJs name lit up across it

I grabbed the phone and stared at it.

"I-I cant"

"You can"

I shook my head and hit decline. Staring at the screen. It lit up again, with TJs name. I hit decline again

"Andi you should go... im sorry I just i need to be alone for a little while"

"Okay.. im really sorry Cy. I hope everything goes okay"

I waved bye and watched as she walked away. I heard her tell my mom goodbye and the front door click open and shut.

As soon as I heard the door shut i broke down in tears. I grabbed my blanket and sat myself on the floor in my closet. Wrapping myself up in the blankets and closing the closet door before leaning against the corner.

I was on there for awhile when i heard a knock on my bedroom door.

"Im not hungry mom thank you"

"Not your mom..."

"TJ?"

"Can I come in?"

"Okay..."

I heard my door open and shut and stayed in the corner of my closet.

"Cyrus where are you?"

"C-closet"

"Come out please"

"N-no"

"Cyrus seriously. I want to talk to you"

I hesitated for a second before finally opening the door.

"There I opened it.."

"Cyrus come on, come out"

"I don't want to"

"Cyrus I will drag you out"

I sighed and stepped out of the closet, seeing myself in the mirror hanging on my door. My eyes were all red and puffy. I looked at TJ, he was wearing sweatpants and and a tshirt.

Neither of us said anything. And i kept my gaze to the floor.

"Im sorry"

"Why are you sorry? I was the one sitting on the phone and listening to your conversation"

"I didnt mean for you to hear. I didnt want things to change... and now... ive ruined everything.."

TJs tone became softer

"Cyrus, you didnt ruin anything.. Look I heard what you said. But thats just insecurity talking.."

"No its not- its reality.. you don't like me you dont have to pretend to spare my feelings"

"Cyrus I do"

I looked up at him confused.

"What?"

"I do like you. I have for awhile."

I stared at him, at a loss for words.

"I'm not pretending Cy. Youre my best friend. Youre kind, youre funny, youre completely adorable how could i not fall in love with you"

I wiped my eyes and TJ took hold of my hand.

"Cyrus say something?"

"I don't know what to say.."

"Anything?"

"I love you"

"I love you too."

TJ smiled at me and pulled me in for a hug. The best thing about hugging someone taller than you is that you feel safe.

"What does that make us?" i mumbled into his shirt.

"Well.. I was wondering if you would like to go on a date.. and p-possibly we could be boy-boyfriends?" TJ sounded really flustered

I giggled into his shirt, it was both funny and cute hearing bold, confident TJ sound so nervous and flustered

"Is that a no?" He sounded disappointed and confused.

"You could be pretty oblivious sometimes"

"Can I?"

We both laughed.

"I would love to go on a date with you"

"What about the boyfriends thing?"

"Id love that too"

Aftermath -Tyrus Fic

I decided to fix the last episode with a little more angst oops.

TJ's POV:

I still feel awful for what I did to Cyrus but Kira has me stuck in between a hard place and a rock. I keep trying to talk to Cyrus but he won't even look at me. I have stopped by the swings every day this week and the one day I saw him there hurt but I deserved it

*I saw Cyrus on the swingset, swinging slowly. I walked up to him and he didnt even look up. "Cyrus please" I whimpered, begging him to let me explain. Without a word he got up and walked away.*

And here I sat in the cafeteria alone wishing for something I could do. I was staring at my food poking it with my fork. I had a chocolate chocolate chip muffin which I planned to give to Cyrus if he talked to me. And then the unexpected happened. A lunch tray plopped down onto the table in front of me. I looked up at my eyes met Buffy's. I looked behind her and saw Andi hugging a sad Cyrus and I felt my heart break.

"Alright Kippen talk"

"Can I please talk to Cyrus?"

"He doesn't want to talk to you" I know she probably didnt mean to but her words hurt me. I really screwed up if Mr Cyrus Goodman, King of Communication didn't to talk to me.

"Please I didn't mean to- Kira she- she was threatening me"

"What do you mean?"

"She was going to tell the whole school including Cyrus about- I didn't want to ruin my friendship with him but look at how that worked out"

"Tell everyone what?"

"I *sighs* Cyrus- I-"

"You like him..."

"Yeah" I looked down at my food again and Buffy got up without a word and retreated to the table with Andi and Cyrus. I watched her put her tray down and whisper something to Andi. Andi stared at her, looking baffled and Buffy nodded. Both of them stood up and pulled Cyrus out of his seat.

"What are you guys doing" Cyrus resisted, but the two girls were stronger than him. They pushed him into the seat across from me and he looked up at them

"Talk" Buffy commanded, dragging Andi away with her back to the other seat.

"I got you this.." I handed the muffin to Cyrus and he sighed.

"Thanks" He replied putting the muffin down on the table.

"Cyrus I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you"

"And yet you did. So what are you and Kira like a thing now? Do you like her?" I winced at the bitterness in Cyrus's voice.

"I dont like her Cyrus, not romantically not physically not platonically"

"Then why'd you choose her over me? Am I just that worthless?"

"Cyrus no- I didn't have a choice"

"You always have a choice TJ you just made one you regret"

"No Cyrus please I swear she was blackmailing me"

"How"

"If I didn't agree she was going to tell everyone something about me- I just I was scared"

"What was she going to tell everyone?"

"Something about-about us"

"What about us?"

"I- I can't

"Then this conversation is over" Cyrus got up and started walking toward the exit. I waited a few seconds before deciding that Id rather tell him and get hurt than let him think its his fault

"Cyrus Wait!" He stopped in his tracks and I got up and ran to him. "I-I"

"You what?" He replied harshly causing me to take a step back

"I like you... romantically."

"You-you what?" Cyrus stuttered, his entire tone changing.

"I like you, I have for awhile.. Kira made me feel bad for it. She asked me to do the costume with her and I told her no I was doing it with you... and she gave me that look that- that judgemental look and implied that it was wrong and I didnt want her to tell you because I didn't want to ruin our friendship but that backfired but I was scared to admit that once again i fell for a straight boy"

I put my head down, feeling water well up in my eyes. Cyrus started laughing and I looked up at him confused and hurt.

"The straight boy? TJ I'm about as straight as a circle." I was laughing now too, once we stopped I took a deep breath

"Im sorry TJ I had no idea what you were going through"

"Im sorry too I messed up" I pulled Cyrus in for a hug and rested my chin on his head. I was relieved to be able to talk to him again.

"So you never said if you like me back?"

"Yes. Pick me up Friday at 7"

"For what?"

"A date"

I rolled over so my face was against the hardwood floor.

"TJ I'm bored" I whined, sighing dramatically

"Hi Bored nice to meet you" TJ teased me

"Whats with the dad jokes You my dad now?"

"Hmmm I guess so" TJ joked, although it made my face turn red.

"What do you want to do lets so something"

"We can play with the legos"

"Lets build a spaceship!" I exclaimed excitedly reaching for the bin of legos.

"Sounds like a plan"

We played with the legos in silence for a few minutes and I decided to make small talk.

"So I heard that Kristina has a crush on you"

"Really? No way"

"Yeah, I mean you guys hang out together a lot and have a lot in common from what I can tell..."

"Oh? Well I mean we are pretty good friends but I'm not into her that way."

"Oh is there someone you are interested in?"

"Yeah uh its probably nothing, they probably don't even like me back"

"Everyone likes you TJ, who is it?"

"I don't want to say"

"Pleassee"

"Only if you tell me who Lemon Boy is"

"Fine you win, you don't have to tell me"

"Okay"

We played in silence for a few more minutes

"TJ I'm bored" I whispered softly, putting my poorly made wing of a space craft.

"We can do something else?"

"Like what?" I questioned looking him in the eye. TJ smiled at me, biting his lip

"I don't want to say"

"Come onnn Im dying here. What should I do?"

"Kiss Me" TJ said, I wasnt sure if it was a joke, it sounded like a command. I felt my cheeks become burning red

"Wh-What?"

"Sorry I shouldn't have said that?"

"Do you actually want me to?"

"I don't know.."

"Can I?" I questioned smiling softly, a bright blush across my cheeks. TJ nodded and I leaned in resting my forehead against his. I tilted my head to the side and stayed there for a moment before colliding my lips into his.

We kissed for what felt like a century long and I pulled away, taking a sharp breath.

"I never knew you were such a good kisser" TJ joked. I laughed "me neither"

I stared at him for a moment before breaking the silence

"So do you want to go out sometime?"

"I don't know I have to ask my boyfriend" TJ said nonchalantly

"You're what-boyfriend?"

"I'm kidding" TJ laughed, "Although I do hope my new boyfriend is you?"

"I'd like that" I smiled softly at him, laying backdown against the hardwood flooring. Everything felt right

Prompt: Kissing on the stairwell giving an artificial hight difference

Tyrus oneshot

TJs POV:

Cyrus and I had stayed after school to study but not much of that was happening, I mean I was trying but I couldnt concentrate. We were sitting in the stair well and Cryus was talking aboutpolychromios-nomials- polynomials and I got lost in a day dream, staring up at him. I couldnt help it, he was just so- he's so beautiful. Ive had a crush on him for ages, I cant even physically remember not being completely in love with him.

"Tj? Earth to Tj???"

"Huh? Oh. Sorry"

"Tj what is going on with you lately? Is everything all right because you havent been able to focus lately and I really want you to pass this class so you dont have to do summer school"

It was nice knowing he wanted to spend time with me but I felt sad because there was no way he felt the same way as me. He was my best friend and I never wanted that to change

"Tj? Whats wrong"

I stood up and took a step down taking a deep sigh. I wanted to tell him how I felt, maybe if I told him how I felt it would be easier to focus. I felt a lump grow in my throat and it occurred to me, it could get harder I could lose my tutor.

Cyrus stood up now too turning me around to face him. He was a couple steps higher in the stairwell making us the same height.

"Tj whats wrong? You can talk to me about anything"

"I-I cant" i felt tears welling up in my eyes. "I can't tell you this"

Cyrus looked at me both confused and concerned

"Why? Tj its okay please talk to me"

"You'll hate me" my voice cracked and I put my head down to face the floor

"I could never hate my best friend. Not even if you killed somebody-you didnt kill anyone right?

I laughed softly and wiped my eyes denying the tears ability to fall

"Definitely didnt kill someone"

"Okay good." He reached out and grabbed my hand using his other hand to lift my chin to face him, "Talk to me Teej"

"I- I like you"

He didnt say anything, just squeezed my hand, I felt a ball regret forming in my stomach

"I had a crush on you from the day I met you and I cant think of a time that I wasnt super in love with you and I dont want you to hate me but I cant not tell you anymore."

He stared at me and i broke eye contact looking at the floor

"Tj.." he trailed off letting go of my hand and bringing it to my face. I felt a tear roll down my cheek and he wiped it away with his thumb.

"Im sorry I shouldnt have said anything. You cant even respond to me. Classic Tj has to ruin everything" I was aware I rambling but couldnt help but keep going as I felt tears rolling down my face

"I had to go and ruin a good thing and now Ive lost my best friend and my world basically and Im going to have no one and im going to fail math because my math tutor hates me. And i should go-"

I turned to grab my things and Cyrus grabbed my wrist pulling me back to him.

He said nothing as he cupped my face with his hands.

"Im so sorry I ruin everything and I'll find another tutor I'll-"

I was cut off by Cyrus as he leaned in and without a word started kissing me. It felt like my world stopped for ages even though it was likely a few seconds. He pulled away and put his forehead against mine

"I've been wanting to do that for awhile now"

"Wha-what"

"You could be pretty oblivious ya know?"

"Cyrus, please don't play with my emotions if you dont like me say it..."

"TJ Kippen I am so in love with you."

I put my head in his shoulder and let myself cry from relief. Cyrus kissed my head and let me go.

"I love you"

"I love you too"

Prompt: "Tucking their hands under the other person's shirt, just to watch them break the kiss and gasp in suprise at the sensation of cold hands against the skin" Tyrus Oneshot

Cyrus's POV:

TJ and I had decided to have a night in at my place. We ordered pizza and put on a movie in the living room. No one else was home so we were able to enjoy our time by ourselves. I was curled up at his side with my head on his shoulder. I kissed his cheek and stayed staring at him. He turned to look at me and kissed me on the lips, and I kissed him back. I smiled against his lips and continued kissing him. I moved one hand down to his side and lifted his shirt just enough to put my cold hands under it, pressing them against his skin. He pulled away suddenly, breaking the kiss and gasped, pulling my hands away. He held my hands together in his and I laughed.

"Cyrus!! Why'd you do that" He pressed a kiss on my hands blowing out warm air onto them.

"My hands were cold" I smiled at him innocently pretending I did nothing wrong.

"So I've noticed you dork" He laughed and kissing me again gently.

HMM IN-FUCKING-DEED

[coffeecrusadeclub]

Prompt: "Why don't you make me?"

Cyrus POV:

Me and TJ have been friends since middle school, we basically never fought. When we did it was over in less than 24 hours. But this fight now in our sophmore year of college, this fight was different, TJ was really mad this time. We had been at a party the night before and I got pretty messed up. And what happened wasnt really my fault I didnt know, I was basically blacking out. And even though nothing happened TJ was mad. He had brought me home from the party and when I woke up he refused to speak with me. I didnt know that I was glad when he finally did.

"TJ what happened last night I cant remember a thing and the fact that youre ignoring me hurts. Im sorry if I said something wrong I probably didnt even mean it it probably just came out wrong" I sat on the sofa beside him nudging his shoulder.

He sighed and paused his videogame to face me. "Do you want to know what happened last night Cyrus? Really?" He snapped at me causing me to flinch but still I nodded, I did want to know. He put his control down and put his face in his hands. "I had to come to your f-ing rescue because you cant handle yourself. I told you to slow down. I told you to stop and you dont know how to listen!" TJ's tone scared me and I leaned away from him.

"Why did you have to come to my rescue? Did I get sick or something" TJ sighed. "Cyrus you can be pretty annoying sometimes" I looked up at TJ, my eyes beginning to water. That hurt but I pretended that I was uneffected, my preformance was probably poor. "What did you have to save me from TJ"

He got up and walked across the room closing the door. "I had to save you from yourself Cyrus. Because you push to far and get yourself in bad situations. You were almost assaulted Cyrus. I had to fight that guy to save you." I looked up at TJ, I had wondered why he had a bruise on his chin but he didnt answer when I asked.

"I- TJ thank you for helping me and Im sorry you got into a fight but how is that my fault I was black out drunk!" I started to raise my voice at him. I didnt have control over that guy and I didnt make anything happen. I started to remember parts of last night. I had been flirting with this guy all night and i remember him saying he was gona take me upstairs. That was when TJ came in

"Its your fault because you push Cyrus! I told you to stop drinking. I told you to stop flirting back. I told you to go home and you dont listen!"

"If I was flirting why did you have to come save me"

"Because I couldnt watch you with that guy Cyrus I couldnt watch him taking advantage of you"

"TJ one I was hitting on him all night! Second you dont know that he was going to do anything. I was about to pass out he was probably trying to help"

"Well knowing that you wanted something to happen- I couldnt let it!"

TJ had been intervening my conversations with this guy all night even before any of us had started drinking.

"And you know TJ i remember you trying to keep him away from me before anyone was drinking. So what was that about"

"I-"

"Why do you get so overprotective when I talk to other guys TJ? Whats youre deal? Youre not my dad! Youre not my boyfriend!"

"I dont want to talk about this anymore"

"No! You dont get to end this conversation yet. You cant just go on yelling at me for something I didnt do! For something that I might've wanted to-"

"Stop Talking!"

"Why dont you make me!" As soon as I finished my sentence I felt TJs lips crashing against mine. I felt my world melt away as I felt him push me against the backboard of his bed. He pulled away and we both sat up. I stared at him in shock.

"Anything to say now?"

"W-wh-what the hell was that!?"

"Me telling you two things. One: to stop talking. Two: The reason I get so jealous"

"I think youre gona have to show me again"

TJ smirked at me and laughed "why don't you make me?" I bit my lip and laughed softly leaning into kiss him. For the second time that night I felt the world around me disappear, I didn't even hear the door open. But I did hear Buffy yelling, "You guys all have to pay up! I told you it'd happen before the first semester of sophomore year was over!"

[coffeecrusadeclub]

Prompt: Confession

Tyrus Oneshot

TJ POV:

It was the final day of summer and me and Cyrus decided to go to aquarium. We had a long debate about how we were buying tickets and food. I insisted that I would pay for both of us but Cyrus refused. He insisted that we each pay for ourselves because paying for each other would be too much like a date. I know that he didnt mean much by it, he was just trying to avoid being teased by our friends, but it hurt just a little. I mean Ive been trying so hard to make him notice how I felt since 6th grade. I mean we were going to start senior yead in two months and he still hasn't noticed. I know I should tell him but I didn't think I had it in me.

We were walking through and I put my arm around his shoulder, it felt natural he never seemed to mind. We continued to walk and he wrapped his arm around my waist, resting his head on my as we looked at the animals. We approached the otters and Cyrus lit up

"How Cute!!!! TJ look! Look that one is sleeping" He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to the glass. I smiled at him, my face was a light shade of pink. He started rambling about the otters I think but I had gotten distracted by how cute he was especially when he was so excited about things.

"And so they hold- TJ? TJ are you even listening to me?" He looked up at me and pouted and I realized I hadnt been listening and sighed.

"Sorry Cy-"

"Its fine I know youre not interested in the same stuff as me and Im being annoying"

"Wh- No Cy thats not it! Its hard not to focus on how cute you are" The words came out of my mouth faster than I could think them and I started to panic.

As I tried to find a way to make a fast recovery I looked at Cyrus who had begun to blush lightly

"You think Im cute?" He laughed softly, was he really teasing me right now?

"I - uh I didnt mean- its just that I-I enjoy seeing you so passionate about stuff its adorable" I stumbled through my words as I noticed people start to crowd around us to look at the otters. It felt like they were staring at us, and they probably were.

"So I'm adorable, not cute?" Cyrus looked up at me, I was bright red but he had a soft blush. He was definitely teasing me right now.

"Wha-no- I mean- of course your cute- I just Uhm I just"

"What is it TJ?"

"I love you" the words fell out of my mouth and I felt as though a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

"Y-you do? R-really?" Cyrus's time of teasing me had come to an end, he was now as jumbled up as I was. His face bright red, although still lighter than mine.

"Of course I do... I have for just about 6 years... Ive been waiting for you to notice" I put my head down to hide the fact that I was, by now, a whole new shade of red. I looked around at the crowd of people looking at the 'otters' yep they were definitely staring at us now. A few faces with disgust all over them, but most seemed to be touched or excited.

"TJ-" Cyrus looked at me, at a loss for words. I laughed softly

"Wow, Ive rendered Cyrus Goodman speechless... its okay if you dont feel the same you know. You can tell me, I'll live-"

"TJ of course I love you"

"R-really?"

"Yes! Of course TJ. I love you"

"I love you too" i hugged him and put my forehead against his.

"You know Cy... everyone is staring. What do we do?"

Cyrus bit his lip and smirked at me. "We give them something to stare at of course"

"Wh-" I didnt get to complete a word of my question before I felt Cyrus's lips crash against mine. A roar of cheers coming from the crowd around us as I closed my eyes and let my world melt away at his touch.

[coffeecrusadeclub]

Caught -Tyrus oneshot

Cyrus POV:

I have sort of recently started dating my now boyfriend TJ. Hes been my best friend for years and we finally got around to telling each other the truth about our feelings. The problem was telling the rest of our friends. Its been 5 months, almost 6 and we havent told them and no one assumes anything because we don't act that different with each other when we are around them.

The day after our 6 month anniversary we were invited to a party at Andi's. Well I say party but it was more of a gathering, there was only about 8 people here: Me, TJ, Andi, Amber, Buffy, Marty, Jonah, and Libby. Everyone was dating each other and everyone knew about each couple except for TJ and I, that was still a secret. Buffy began to lead a game that involved everyone to be coupled, and so everyone got with their significant other, and since me and TJ were the only "single" ones we were grouped together also. We ended up not playing a game at all and just talking as a group, putting a movie on as background noise. Each couple would occasionally pause and kiss except TJ and I. Our friends playfully teased us about being single earning uncomfortable smiles and nervous laughter out of us. We contemplated telling them but didnt.

Suddenly TJ stood up from the circle of our friends, abruptly pulling me up to my feet. "Sorry I need to talk to Cyrus for a second be right back" The group looked at us confused and I gave a confused glance back to them as TJ led me out the bedroom door and down the hall so that my back was too a wall

"TJ what was tha-" Suddenly I felt TJs lips against mine and I melted.

"I just really wanted to kiss you" he smirked at me and started walking back to the room

"Wh- TJ!" I pulled him back to me and he laughed

"They'll catch us Cy" he whispered softly, we didn't want to hide but neither of us were prepared to tell our friends. I smiled at him and pulled him in for a hug, burying my face in his chest. I heard a door click and my eyes darted to the door of andis room. It didn't appear to have been move so I assumed that it was Bex or Bowie downstairs.

I turned back to TJ

"Why don't we just tell them babe. You know they love you Teej"

"Saying they love me is a bit generous. Come on they still protest us hanging out alone. Especially since the incident with Reed. At best they tolerate me" TJ and I sighed in unison.

"Well I know they love me. And I love you" I whispered to him softly and a smile spread across his face as he lit up.

"Thats the first time you've told me"

I blushed softly smiling at him "Yeah, I know. I was scared to say it but it came out so naturally..." I trailed off and looked at him

"I love you too Cyrus" TJ smiled softly and I looked up at him. I pulled his tshirt bringing him to my height and kissed him fervently. I wrapped one arm around his neck and put the other gently on his face. Suddenly I felt myself being pulled away from him and I tugged back

"What the he-" I turned around and took a sharp breath. In the hall behind us stood our friends. I looked at them and noticed that Buffy had pulled us apart.

"Cyrus what is going on??" Buffy questioned, although it sounded more like a demand. I looked around at everyone, staring at Andi with pleading eyes.

"Hey Buffy calm down" Andi pulled Buffy's shoulder and Buffy sighed.

"Sorry Cyrus I just went into protective mode for a second" Buffy's tone softened. I took a step back making contact with TJ, who in response put an arm over me.

"Seriously Cyrus what is going on. TJ is a bad influence do you remember what happened" Buffy pressed into me and I sighed. As Andi jumped in "Cyrus how do we know he's not going to put you in danger again" Jonah, Marty, Amber, and Libby went back into the room leaving just TJ, Andi, Buffy, and I in the hall.

I felt TJ pull away from me and I snapped "You dont, nobody does, but I trust him. You guys should too and if not you should trust that I can take care of myself. We've been dating for 6 months and this is why we havent said anything and if you guys would stop treating me like a baby it wouldnt have taken so long" My voice came out agressive and they all looked taken back. "I shouldn't have to defend myself to you guys. I love him okay? I want your support but if that cant happen then we can go" I took hold of TJs hand and stared at my friends waiting for a response.

"Cyrus I'm sorry we just worry about you" Andi was the first to break the silence. "If anything happened to you... if he hurt you.." Andi trailed off. I looked at Buffy who sighed "I'm sorry too Cy. He was just so awful to me in the beginning, I'm afraid of him treating you like that"

"I've changed Buffy, all of us have. Ive changed for the better thanks to him. Buffy I do love him" TJ replied softly and I leaned against him Buffy looked over at Andi who nodded before ducking back into the room.

"Look I understand that youve changed, but know this: Cyrus is my family. I protect my family" Buffy gave TJ a warning look before looking softly at me "I just want to protect you Cyrus. I'm sorry I got so passive"

"I understand Buffy, I accept your apology" I smiled softly at her. "I do too" TJ added, Buffy looked up at him and back to me "If he hurts you let me know and Ill put lemons in the freezer"

I laughed, understanding her reference and then laughed harder looking at the confusion on TJs face

"Buffys favorite quote is 'When life gives you lemons, freeze them and throw them at the people making your life difficult'" I laughed kissing him on the cheek

"Oh. Well I promise you dont have to freeze any lemons"

"Good. Now lets go back into the room"

"Okay" I smiled at Buffy, who was already in the room. I looked up at TJ who guided me to the room and sighed contently. My friends know, and everything is good. Its good.

TJs POV:

"Im not Jealous"

"Well then whats youre problem TJ!"

"It doesn't matter anymore"

"Why not?"

"Because I was too late"

"For what?"

"To talk to you"

"What?"

"I wanted to talk to you last night and I was too late" my tone had softened quite a bit and I felt Cyrus staring at me. I went to take a drink and Cyrus took the bottle out of my hand.

"What the hell dude? Give that back"

"Youve had enough. What were you going to tell me last night"

"It doesnt matter because I already know what response I would've gotten"

"And how do you know what I would've said"

"Because of what you were doing. If I hadn't walked in you wouldve-"

I sighed and put my head in my hands.

"I would've come to my senses and stopped him before it went too far"

"I have a hard time believing that. You were both really into it" i rubbed my face as if I could erase the memories of last night from my head.

"TJ I wouldnt have done anything. I want my first time to be with someone a lot more special than some guy I knew for half an hour"

"Youre first time- youve never-"

"You sound shocked. As awkward as I am you really think Ive ever done that?"

I felt my face turn red and reached for my drink that Cyrus had placed on my side table

"Leave it"

"Youre not my mom"

"I never claimed to be. I claim to be your friend who cares about you and wants you to stop before it becomes a real problem"

He sat on the bed in front of me he felt so close I could feel his breath on my face.

"TJ what did you want to happen last night? What were you going to tell me?"

I felt my heart beating so fast it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. "What did I want to happen last night?"

"Thats what I asked, yes"

I was more tipsy than I thought I was and without even the slightest hesitation, I had closed the gap between us and put my hand on his face, holding him gently. Apart of me expected him to pull away but instead, he put his hand on my wrist and kissed back. It was more intoxicating than any kind of liquor out there. I pulled away slowly, stopping myself before I went to far.

"TJ..." Cyrus sounded out of breath and i felt panic coursing through my veins did I really just do that

"Im sorry I acted on impulse I-" Cyrus cut me off, this time it was him closing the gap. I leaned backwards against the backboard of my bed neither of us breaking the kiss. Cyrus was ontop of me and i stopped remembering what he said about not having his first time yet.

"Whats wrong"

"We can't- you said your first time is meant to be special."

Cyrus got off of me and sighed

"Im sorry I got carried away"

"No -no dont be sorry. But I dont want to ruin that moment for you"

"TJ what were you going to tell me last night?"

I looked at him, trying to figure out what to say. It wasnt as easy as I thought it was going to be.

"That-That Im in love with you.. That Ive been in love with you for longer than I could remember"

Cyrus smiled at me, turning a light shade of pink. I was probably firetruck red at this point

"I love you too"

"Wh-what?"

"TJ you are so oblivious sometimes. Im in love with you but we both know I'd never have the guts to say it first. Ive spent years wishing you'd say it, believing that you never would"

I smiled at him "So Mr. Goodman..... I have a question for you"

"And that is?"

"Are you free Saturday night?"

"For you? Most definitely"

Cyrus smirked and leaned back in kissing me again.

"Id say this is a pretty special moment Kippen"

I laughed softly as I kissed him

"Not yet. We havent even gone on our first date yet" We both continued to kiss and suddenly my door swung open followed by the crash of Amber hitting the floor.

We looked over at Amber who was face down on the floor. She sat up bright red.

"You guys were yelling and then it got quiet. I wanted to know what was happening. I couldnt hear from downstairs when you were being quiet"

I laughed and threw a pillow at her

"Ya ruined the moment" I kept laughing as Amber continued to turn redder.

"Hey I have to get going. See you Saturday?"

"I'll pick you up at 7." I winked at him and he kissed me before heading out the door. I smiled at him as he walked out.

"The twinkle in youre eyes is back" Amber smiled and sat at the foot of my bed.

I laughed "you killed the momet!" I hit her playfully with a pillow.

"So? Tell me everything! What were you guys doing whyd it go completely silent for so long? Like there were three periods of silence-"

"Well the first silence happened when he asked me what I wanted to happen last night. I kissed him. Then i stopped and started panicking and then he started kissing me and we almost...." i trailed off

"OH MY GOD NO U DIDNT"

"No we didnt! Did it look like we had? I wanted his first time to be special"

"What a romantic." She mocked "What about the last one?"

"Thats the one you ruined" i laughed and she turned red again

"Oh yeah.."

"I need water for my hangover and food to prevent the worse one thats on its way."

"I'll go get ready. We'll go to Dennys. Fix yourself up"

I smiled at her grateful that she made me talk to Cyrus

"Hey Amber?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you"

"For what?"

"For making me talk to him"

"What are big sisters for?"

"Youre older by 10 minutes!!!!"

She laughed "Most boring 10 minutes of my life" she smiled and walked across the hall to her room. I was glad to have a sister that cared about me as much as she did

Prompt: Pouting stopped with a kiss -Tyrus oneshot

Cyrus's POV:

Its mid December and I super want icecream but since I can't drive TJ has to. I walk down the stairs and head to the living room where my husband is sitting on the recliner. Dramatically I flop backwards into his lap and sigh. He laughs and kisses my forehead, well knowing I'm up to something.

"Hey baby whats up"

I looked up at him and smiled giving him my famous puppy eyes "I love yooou"

"I love you too Cyrus"

"So you know how you told me you'd do absolutely anything for me right"

"Yes dear, I remember my wedding vows. Whats going on" I sat change my sitting position so I was sitting in his lap facing him.

"Well here's the thing, we are at crisis here in this house"

"Why are we in crisis?"

"There's no more icecream" I stated confidently and TJ laughed.

"We will go tomorrow after they salt the roads, if it stops snowing"

I looked at TJ and crossed my arms "But I want icecream"

TJ smiled at me "Babe don't start come on you'll live"

"Its already in motion its to late" I let out a dramatic sigh and leaned against him

"Come on Cy you don't expect me to go out in the snow for icecream do you?"

"Mr. Jacobs next door goes out in the snow for his wife"

TJ laughed at me "Babe Mrs. Jacobs is pregnant, thats different"

"Hmph" I started pouting and gave TJ the puppy eyes again

"Babee stop dont start pouting. I promise we'll go when the snow lets up"

I laid down across the recliner laying in TJs lap "Woe is me" I put one hand on my forehead to add dramatic effect

"I know how to make you stop pouting"

"Youre going to buy me icecream" I perked up smiling

"Not today"

"Then how" I continued pouting

"Like this" TJ smiled mischievously and placed one hand on my cheek pulling me in for a kiss. After awhile he pulled away and I smiled

"Okay that worked a little"

"I know"

"You're going to have to give me more until you buy me icecream"

"I think I can manage" TJ smiled kissing me again

"I'm still not sure this is better than Icecream" I teased and TJ nudged my shoulder

"We'll see"

Prompt: Meet-Cute in the produce aisle

Thank you to @theobligatedklutz for the story Idea i hope you like it♡♡

TJ POV:

It was a normal night for me, my mom sent me to the grocery store to grab some stuff for dinner tonight. I never thought I'd meet someone who would make my stomach turn to knots, and yet here he was, in the produce section fustrated with a screaming child who was probably no older than 2.

"What! Tell me what you want!!" He raised his voice as the child started kicking him. I walked up to them and put my hand on the cute strangers back.

"Having trouble?" I smiled at him softly and he sighed in response. "I dont know what she wants she just keeps screaming" i looked at the little girl who was still screaming.

"How old is she? Is she teething?" I questioned and the boy looked like he had an epiphany. "Oh my gosh! I love you! Youre brilliant!" I laughed and rubbed the back of my neck as he rummaged through his bag and pulled out a teething ring handing it to the toddler. I glanced down at his hand and noticed he didnt have a ring, so he probably wasnt married.

"Not used to your girlfriend leaving you with the baby?" He looked at me confused and then his eyes went wide. "Huh? Oh! No! Nonono! Im not- Shes not mine. Lydia is my cousin, Im babysitting while my aunt and uncle are out."

"Oh I see an act of thoughtfulness" I smiled at him, fully knowing I was bright red. He was really cute, apart of me wanted to ask for his number but I wasnt even sure he liked guys.

"Oh Im TJ by the way, nice to meet you" I put my hand out and smiled. He took my hand and shook it and I felt my heart jump "Cyrus, nice to meet you" i pulled my hand away and started to look at the tomatoes at the same time as Cyrus. We reached for the same tomatoes and ended up holding hands again. I laughed softly.

"So Cyrus, do you have a girlfriend? I find it hard to believe that you're single" Cyrus turned red and laughed. "Um no actually I'm pretty single. Im not- uh Yeah Im not seeing anyone" He became flustered and I felt bad for pushing. "Oh yeah me neither, my parents keep trying to set me up with girls but...." I trailed off and continued to look at the tomatoes. "But..? But what?" He was a curious person, I chuckled. "Well... Lets just say Ive never been that into girls" He looked up at me wide eyed, "Yeah me either" I smiled, I guess he was into guys. We fell into silence and continued to gather our groceries

"Um hey, Cyrus?"

"Yeah?"

"So I dont- I dont know if youd be interested.. and you- you don't have to bu-but maybe youd like want to meet up again this friday and get like coffee.. maybe dinner or something" I was flustered and my face was bright red as I looked over at Cyrus waiting a response.

"Are you asking me on a date?" Cyrus replied flirtatiously with a smile on his face.

"I uh- yeah.. But only if you want to!" Cyrus laughed at me and handed me his phone. "I think I'd like that. Pick me up at 7 I'll text you my address"

I smiled and typed my number into his phone handing it back to him. He smiled and waved goodbye, I watched as he walked away. I never thought I'd meet someone so adorable and at the grocery store nonetheless..

Scavenger Hunt -Tyrus Fic

Cyrus's POV:

It was just after 3rd period and I stopped at my locker to grab a book and drop a few off. I opened my locker and a small pink envelope fell out. I picked it up and started to open it when the bell rang. I stuffed my books into the locker running towards class with the note in my hand.

I sat down in English next to TJ and slid the note into my backpack. "Hey Cyrus. Whats up?" I smiled at TJ and shrugged "Not much I found an envelope in my locker though so that was strange" TJ looked at me and tilted his head, "what does it say?" I pulled the note out of my bag again and sighed "I haven't opened it yet" I looked up at him, "You should you dont have to show me though. Maybe you have a secret admirer" I laughed "Yeah, right" I scoffed and opened the envelope and read it:

Dear Cyrus, Valentine's day is in a few days. I have the biggest crush on you but I cant say it. So I'm sending you on a scavenger hunt to find me. The next note is where you go after school, same place as usual but below #8

I showed the note to TJ in confusion "I told you, You do have a secret admirer" I laughed "Yeah I guess you did. But what does the 8 mean?" I looked at him and he shrugged "maybe its a seat, where do you normally sit" He looked at me "At the counter eighth seat from the bathroom-Ohh" I smiled at him "figured it out?" "I did, man this person must pay a lot of attention" "yeah he does" TJ put his hand over his mouth "oops" "Wait you know who it is?! Tell me" TJ nervously put his head down "That'd ruin all the fun" He smiled at me and I sighed "I guess you're right"

After school I went to the Spoon by myself and sat at my usual seat, and ordered baby taters and a chocolate milkshake. I looked around and didn't see another note. I reread the first one and thought it might be under the counter. I 'accidentally' dropped a spoon and looked around under the counter. My theory was correct, there was a pale pink envelope taped under the counter. I pulled it off and sat back onto the chair. I stared at it wondering who it was. I kinda hoped it was TJ but didn't think it was i opened the note and read for the next clue.

So you found the second note theres a couple more to go. To find the hint go to the place you like the least, to your favorite time of day. On your seat youll find it #3

I looked at the note and thought really hard. My least favorite place was school, like every kid, but my favorite time of day is english. I looked at the 3 and realized. English is my third period. I sighed, that means I have to wait for two to find the next note. I finished my food and went home, when i got into my room I looked in my English notebook and textbook hoping Id find it but I didn't. I did my honework and went to sleep.

The next day it felt like my first 2 classes were never going to end. Finally second period ended and I rushed to third. I got there and looked around there was only the teacher TJ and a couple other students, I got there really early. Since TJ was talking to the teacher I rushed to my desk and sure enough another pale pink envelope sat on top of my desk. I sat quickly and opened the envelope reading it

This is it number 3. Youre nearing the final note. To find it you'll have to go to somewhere known. In a place belonging to your friend, where imagination knows no end and creativity is to invent

I stared at the note and thought about it for a second. TJ approached and took his seat next to me "Why do you look so confused? Another riddle?" I looked up at him "Yeah, I-I think I'm supposed to go to Andi Shack but that doesnt make sense" I put the note down and texted Andi asking to meet me at Andi Shack after school. She agreed, no questions asked. "TJ do you think it's Andi? She knows I'm gay- maybe this is just an elaborate prank" I felt deflated and put my head down. "I know its not. Plus Andi wouldn't do that to you." I nodded and checked my phone Andi texted saying that Buffy was coming. I hadn't told them about the scavenger hunt guess I had to now.

After school I rushed to Andi's and saw Buffy and Andi waiting for me on the porch

"Hey guys" I waved

"Hey Cyrus" Buffy and Andi grabbed either arm and we went to Andi Shack

"So Cyrus when were you going to tell us about your scavenger hunt?" Buffy teased as they both let go nudging me toward the door of Andi Shack.

"You know??"

"Yes how do you think he got the note to my house?" Andi asked me

"Does that mean you guys know who it is?" They nodded and my eyes went wide "Who is it!!" I exclaimed and the both shook their heads.

"Its the last note Cy you'll live" Buffy responded, stopping Andi from spilling. I went into the Andi Shack and looked around. Buffy and Andi had left me and went inside, it took me a minute to find the note but I did finally taped to a small monster sculpture Andi made with clay and parts from an old phone. I opened it up and stared at it this was the final note

So this is the final note, at the next stop you find out. I will wait there for you all day I hope youre not disappointed. To find me you'll have to go to a place that is well known between us. The place where you go to find refugee from the real world.

I smiled I knew exactly where to go, I texted Andi that I was leaving and headed to the park. I walked to the swings and I saw him. He was facing away from me and I smiled, sneaking up behind him.

"Is this seat taken?"

"Reserved for you" TJ said softly and motioned for me to sit.

"So you sent me on quite a mission, how sneaky"

"Yeah I was scared... Are you disappointed its me?"

"Absolutely Not. I was hoping it was you"

"Really?"

"Yeah" i whispered sheepishly and moved my swing closer to him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Cyrus will you be my valentine this year?"

"Absolutely" I smiled up at him

"I love you Cy"

"I love you too Teej"

Prompt: platonic hangout+confession by accident

Tyrus one shot

Cyrus's POV:

It was a normal summer night me and TJ had decided to hang out most of the day. At the end of the day we decided to hang out at my place and invite some friends over. And so an hour and a half later we were sitting in my basement with Buffy Andi Marty and Jonah trying to figure out how to spend our time

My parents weren't home so we decided to have the dinner of champions: icecream. We all sat there, spoons in hand, eating straight from the gallon icecream container.

Andi: "So what should we do?"

Buffy: "How about we play paranoia. We've never had a good game because we never ask interesting questions. So lets ask interesting questions"

Despite my efforts to object, I still landed in the circle with my friends, tossing a coin in the middle of our circle. Our order of sitting going to the left was me, Buffy, Andi, TJ, Jonah, and Marty. Since we were playing going to the left Marty was asking me questions. After about 20 minutes Buffy determined we had to start asking better questions so we did it was going okay until Marty asked me a question that I wasnt willing to admit.

Marty leaned toward me and whispered in my ear

"Do you have a crush on anybody?" I felt myself swallow hard as my throat suddenly went dry.

"Y-Yes" I responded hesitantly as I grabbed the coin. Praying that it landed on tails so I didn't have to tell the group the question. I closed my eyes and tossed the coin up in the air, I heard it clink onto the hard wood floors and opened to look. I sighed, heads, I felt like the coin was mocking me.

Buffy: "Soo what was the question??"

I looked up at TJ for a moment before looking towards Buffy and responding

"Do I have a crush on anybody"

My friends let out a group of curios "ooo"s and i blushed slightly.

Buffy: "whoo? Cy u have to tell us"

Cyrus: "Uh- I- hey im supposed to ask you a question"

Buffy: "Fine"

Once we got half way through the circle we decided to take a short break and eat some more icecream. We sat back down in the same order and Jonah suggested we start asking going around the circle to the right. Everyone agreed especially Buffy who had a mischievous grin on her face. I felt my heart racing because I knew that at some point tonight she was going to ask me about the question I got earlier. After we made our way around the circle a few times i started to believe that Buffy had let it go, that maybe she was just going to interrogate me later. I should have known better... maybe if she knew my crush was sitting in the room she would've waited but she didnt know and didn't wait. I almost didnt process the words she whispered into my ears

"Who do you have a crush on?"

I looked at Buffy, I really shouldn't have let my gaurd down

I took a deep breath before I looked her in the eye and responded, "TJ" she looked back at me shocked.

Buffy: "Really?!"

I looked down and sighed, rubbing the back of my neck.

Cyrus: "y-yeah"

The rest of the group stared at us in confusion.

TJ: "Hey dont forget to flip the coing Cy"

Andi: "Dont rush him you only want to know the question"

TJ: "You wouldnt want to??"

Andi: "Ok fine maybe I would"

I grabbed the coin and took a deep breath, glancing at Buffy before casting it into the air. I was almost afraid to look when I heard it hit the floor.

Jonah: "Heads!!" He exclaimed excitedly, everyone was curious to know why Buffy and I had a total change in expression

Buffy: "Cyrus im so sorry"

Marty: "Wait why are you sorry?"

Buffy: "I shouldnt have made him answer that question"

Andi: "But I thought thats what the game was about?"

Buffy: "its supposed to be fun but this might end badly"

TJ: "Why? How?"

Jonah: "Cyrus you dont have to say it if it was really bad"

I looked up and sighed, all eyes were on me

Cyrus: "Its part of the rules"

Buffy: "We arent going to disqualift-"

Cyrus: "Who do you have a crush on" I said aloud cutting Buffy off

Buffy: "Im sorry.."

Cyrus: "I couldnt hide it forever"

TJ: "Really?"

I looked up at TJ and sighed

Cyrus: "Sorry you found out that way... Actually Im sorry you found out at all" i sighed and got up walking up the stairs and heading into the kitchen. I grabbed a cup of water and leaned on the counter with my back toward the door. A few minutes later I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and sighed, looks like someone was sent to check on me. I took a drink of my water as I heard the footsteps stop outside the kitchen. I put the cup down and sighed.

"I dont need anyone to take care of me. Its not a big deal"

"I think it is. Getting put on the spot like that in front of your crush"

I inhaled sharply, shocked at the sound of TJs voice. I kept my back to him and laughed

"They sent you to check on me. No offense but what is this? Their way of trying to set us up? Theres no way"

I heard TJs footsteps approach me stopping next to me. I looked at him through the corner of my eye.

"I came up here entirely on my own. Typically after someone confesses their feelings for you the correct response is to talk about it with them"

"Whats there to talk about. You dont even like boys."

He reached out and softly put his hand on my chin moving my face so that I was looking in his eyes.

"And how would you know what I like Cyrus? Do you keep tabs on me?"

My face turned red and I pulled away from him. Drinking more water to avoid responding. Although I wasnt facing him I knew he was staring at me.

"Don't toy with my emotions. I have no intention of being some kind of-"

TJ cut me off and pulled me to face him. I pulled back and lost my balance falling backwards, taking TJ with me since he still had a tight grip on my shoulder. I hit the floor landing on my back and TJ landed ontop of me. He held himself in a raised push up with both hands on either side of me. I felt my face turn bright red and looked away

"Get off of me" I tried to push TJ away, but he was a lot stronger than me and stayed in place.

"Cyrus you must know I like you too I only thought it was obvious"

I looked up at him in shock did he really?

"I thought you - I thought you were straight"

"Cyrus Ive never dated a girl."

"But you talk about your ex sometimes. I thought-"

"Dont assume Cyrus. Youll make an ass out of u and me."

"B-but" I was practically incoherent there was no way TJ expected me to form sentences while he was on top of me.

"Reed Cyrus. Reed is my ex. You know I still hang out with my ex, the only girls I hang out with are Andi and Buffy. And sometimes Libby when Jonah brings her around. Who did you think it was?"

"I dont- I - Get off of me!"

"Do you want me to?"

"Thats what I said TJ stop messing with me" i pushed on his chest and he smirked as i crossed my arms in defeat.

"Youre really cute when youre fustrated"

"TJ please... stop doing this to me.. my-my friends are-"

"Youre friends arent going to bug us theyre downstairs"

"But-"

TJ shushed me and leaned in, I felt his breath on my face and I got that much more nervous. "T-TJ what are you-" he cut me off with a kiss, catching me off gaurd. After a second to realize what was happening I started kissing back, wrapping my arms around his neck. After what felt like eternity TJ pulled away. My heart was racing so fast i was out of breath, it felt as though I had just run a marathon. TJ stood up leaving me on the floor alone.

"Hey Guys how long have you been standing there?" TJ said so casually. He laughed and I assumed he was joking "Thats not funn-" I look up and see all of our friends standing in the doorway staring at us. I swear I felt my soul leave my body.

Superman-Tyrus fic

*TW mentions of abuse*

TJs POV:

After practice all of my bball friends decided that they had to go home and study for the upcoming finals week. I really wasnt in the mood to study and decided to head to the park and just relax. I definitely didnt expect to see Cyrus when I got there. He was sitting with his boyfriend, Erin, on a park bench. Man I hated Erin with a passion.. Not because he was dating someone I was in love with, but because of how shitty he treated him. I sighed and sat on the swingset, the only reason I decided to come, trying to ignore them. Unfortunately the bench they sat at was only like 2 feet away. I looked over at Cyrus who looked pretty upset and wondered what they were fighting about today. I couldnt help but tune into their conversation as it slowly turned to yelling.

"I said I dont want to Erin, Im not in the mood. How many times do I have to tell you!"

"Come on dont be a lame Cyrus. You can't just jump back when you were giving all kinds of signals"

"I wasnt doing anything! I was kissing my boyfriend who I thought loved me no matter what but Im not so sure right now"

"And what the hell is that supposed to mean"

"Nevermind forget it I'm going home"

I watched as Cyrus got up to leave, Erin grabbing his wrist and pulling him back onto the bench. Cyrus winced as he hit the bench

"Youre not going anywhere until you tell me what the f* that means"

"That hurt Erin" Cyrus's voice cracked and it looked like he was about to start crying.

"Oh man up Cyrus I barely even touched you" Cyrus wiped his face, he had started crying. Apart of me wanted to intervene but I didnt think it was my place.

"Oh great now youre crying. Whats your damage Cyrus? Youre acting like a baby"

"Youre acting like a real jerk right now you know that Erin!?"

"Oh whatever Cyrus don't be so sensitive. Come on we're going to my place, my parents are going to be out till 9" Erin grabbed Cyrus's wrist and a look of anger crossed his face when Cyrus pulled away. I looked down at my feet to pretend I wasnt listening.

"I told you that I didnt want to!"

"Cut it out Cyrus come on you have to"

"Im your boyfriend not your escort. I dont have to do anything"

"Cyrus Im serious lets go"

"I said No!" Cyrus yelled at his boyfriend angerily.

*SMACK*

My head shot up instantly at the sound. I look over at Cyrus who was now holding his cheek, crying so hard it looked like he couldnt breathe, and being dragged by Erin. Did he seriously just hit him?

"Alright thats it" I said loud enough for them to hear. Causing Erin to stop. "Why do you let him treat you like that Cyrus?"

Cyrus looked up at me he already had a bruise forming along his cheek bone.

"Dont talk to him" Erin growled and I couldnt tell if it was directed towards me or Cyrus.

"Cy you have the brightest smile in this entire city and I havent seen it in so long since you got with this jerk."

"Mind your own buisness TJ" Erin continued to walk pulling Cyrus behind him. I grabbed Erins shoulder stopping him.

"Get lost jerk" Erin shoved me and in an automatic response I shoved him back.

"I'll get lost when I know Cyrus is safe and you know how to treat him" i was really getting in Erins face, he had let go of Cyrus who had retreated a couple feet back. I had a couple inches on Erin.

"Hes perfectly fine with me"

"Really? He doesnt exactly look it."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"It means that you just hit him probably really hard because he already has a bruise. You obviously dont love him"

"Yeah I do love him why else would I be with him"

"Because hes smaller than you? He listens to you? You dont love him you love what you can take from him, how he makes you feel. You dont hurt the people you love"

"I didnt hurt him hes fine. Hes just being a crybaby"

"See? Thats what I mean. You don't deserve him"

"And what, you do? You think your some knight in shining armour? You try being with this brat for awhile and see how you start to act"

"Don't disrespect him like that."

"Why? Do you want to spend all your time with him because be my guest"

I looked over at Cyrus who was calmed down but still crying. He was biting his nails looking up at me with pleading eyes, as if asking for help.

"I think spending time with him would be amazing. How do you not love someone as caring and loyal as Cyrus."

"Well if youre so madly in love with him you can keep him. Im done with him, over there acting like a big baby"

"Watch it" I warned him. Eric pushed me away and started walking away. I stood there and watched him leave. I sighed "Im sorry Cyrus I just hated seeing him hurt you and once he hit you I just couldn't bite my tongue anymore" I turned to face him and he wrapped his arms around me and started crying. I hugged him back and rested my chin on his head.

"Thank you" he mumbled into my tshirt, choking between sobs. Once he had calm down I took him to sit on the swings with me.

"TJ?"

"Yeah underdog?"

"Did you mean it?"

"Mean what?" I looked up at him slowing my swing.

"What you said about spending time with me.. and about- about loving me"

I felt my face turn a light shade of pink and i looked down at my feet with a soft smile on my face. "Ye-yeah I did" Cyrus didn't respond.

"I dont- I dont expect anything from you though, I know you need time to heal and like move on and all that... right now I just want to be your friend I want to help you feel better even if you never end up liking me back. I think thats what loving someone is.. helping them without expecting anything in return."

"Thank you..." Cyrus paused, hesitant on his words. "I love you too you know.. I never thought you'd like me back.. and then I met Erin. In the beginning he made me feel like I was at the top of the world, but after time he started- he started expecting me to do things. And at first it started off small like innocent stuff and I felt like I had too and then it turned to something different.. I started to feel like he was holding me at the edge of a cliff and by then it was too late.. I was terrified to try and tell him no if I did it-it didnt end well"

Cyrus wiped a tear a way from his eye and took a deep breath.

"Im sorry Cyrus. I saw it and I knew he was terrible to you and I didnt say anything until it was too late"

"You cant blame yourself for that. It wasnt your responsibility, I was the one who cut you off for him" he sighed looking away from me.

"Hey, I'll tell you what. From this point on I, TJ Kippen, will protect you, Cyrus Goodman, from all evil in the universe. I will not let anything like this happen again...."

"My very own Superman" he looked up at me with a smile, a light blush covering his face.

"Its getting dark. Do you want to go to my place" Cyrus winced at my phrasing i put my hand gently on his shoulder.

"Hey Im your personal superman I dont have the same intentions. My plan is to sit on my basement floor with 2 containers of icecream while we do whatever you want with a movie playing in the background" he smiled at me

"That actually sounds great"

"Lets go then?" He nodded and we both got up. My hand brushed against his. My fingers intertwining with his involuntarily I felt him tense up and i started to let go. With a small hesitation he let his fingers lace with mine.

"Sorry Im not used to anyone touching me so gently"

"You dont have to apologize. I'll work on making sure your okay with something before doing it."

He smiled up at me, I smiled at the twinkle in his eyes.

"TJ Kippen, my very own, personal superman... Superman Kippen. My Superman" I smiled at Cyrus as he rambled aimlessly. Its probably been awhile since he got to really talk like this.

"Hey Superman? What movie are we going to watch?"

"Whichever one you want from the redbox Muffin"

He smiled at me. "Superman and his Muffin.. i love it" Cyrus whispered, barely audible.
