Well, this flash fiction will be Tonah (TJ / Jonah)!
I'm not entirely sure why I'm even doing another one, when my last flash fiction, got zero comments. Oh well only, kills me a lot bit on the inside. Since Tonah was dominating the poll, and no ideas were given, this was the result.
TJ knew of Cyrus' friend Jonah. They looked to be inseparable, there was just one thing. TJ could swear that there was something going on between the boys, and he was not going to just stand there and let Cyrus take Jonah for himself. Sure he liked Cyrus, but with Jonah's charm he had to be his. Cyrus could go out and find himself someone else because Jonah was TJ's destiny.
It had taken some confessions for Jonah to be able to finally forgive TJ, and well actually hang out with him. The only thing that the captain of the Ultimate Frisbee team did not know was, why TJ was wanting to get closer to him. TJ had an irrational fear that Cyrus would get jealous, and tell him to back off his Jonah, but after time and setting at Jonah's table during lunch that fear faded away.
"Aye, cutie," TJ greeted Jonah as he steered around Jonah with his tray before parking his bottom at the seat next to him. "How yah doin'?" he asked Jonah who started to scratch his head.
"Fine, I guess, I don't know why'd you call me cutie?" Jonah asked getting straight to the source of his utter confusement.
TJ raised an eyebrow as if asking if Jonah was seriously not understanding why he called him that. "Cuz, you're cute, why else would I call someone that?" TJ asked returning the question back to Jonah.
"Oh, well I like your hat," Jonah said meeting his green eyes. He never understood how or why Cyrus could stare into at his face, and get lost in his eyes until now. Looking back into TJ's equally green orbs, he saw it the magic of that pure emerald green color. His eyes dilated with bedazzlement stunning Jonah sending him down a cycle of refocusing only to fall back into a trance again.
"I'm not wearing a hat," TJ said throwing his red cap off his head, and onto the ground.
Jonah then looked up at his head, and sure enough he wasn't wearing a hat. His cheeks transitioned into a soft pink as he got embarrassed. "I meant I like your hair," Jonah tried saying, but ended up pulling his shirt collar up to cover his cheeks along with his nose, and mouth.
"Oh no you don't," TJ said yanking his shirt back down to see his flustered face. "Embarrassed or blushing, you look super adorable," TJ told him. "I swear it Beck you are the prettiest boy I've even seen."
The rest of the gang soon piled in with Andi, Buffy, and Cyrus sitting down one after the other. "Jonah why are your ears red," Cyrus asked.
"Uh," Jonah tried to think of something as TJ reached behind him, and picked up his hat dusting it off before putting it back on its rightful place. "High blood pressure?" Jonah asked more than he said.
"Uh huh," Cyrus said rolling his eyes not believing him. "TJ why is his ears red?"
"I don't know makes him look cute though right?" TJ asked shocking them all.
"Whoa look at his face changing colors," Buffy pointed out watching in awe as the shades of pink from his deep red ears spread onto his face, making him feel the heat rise on his skin.
After lunch was over Cyrus held a brief conversation in the hallway with TJ. Getting right down to business Cyrus asked, "why were you saying that stuff about Jonah?"
"Cuz, it's true," TJ said. "I like him," TJ admitted.
"Yeah okay, do you like want to date him or something?" Cyrus asked quietly so others would not here.
Clearly TJ did not care if the whole world heard that he had a crush on the Jonah Beck when he answered, "yes, I can't get over Jonah he's just so gosh darn good lookin'."
"Just a secret between you me," Cyrus started saying cupping his hand standing on his tippy toes whispering into the basketball team captain's ear. "Jonah's bisexual, just don't tell him that I told you," Cyrus said with a grin.
"Wait, I'm so confused," TJ said getting tongue twisted. "Jonah? So you… what?" TJ kept on stumbling. "He's…"
"Yes TJ that means you have a chance at dating him, but he moves on quickly, so you best get him while he's single," Cyrus told the jock.
"Cyrus, I thought you wanted him?" TJ bluntly stated.
"Maybe a little, but Jonah, yeah his appearance is to die for, but he's just not the right guy for me," Cyrus tried to explain without having to go into great detail.
"So I can take him," TJ asked.
"You can try," Cyrus said. He then patted the back of his shoulder before walking off saying, "he's all yours." Cyrus disappeared into the crowd of students as they scurried off into classrooms leaving the hall empty as the late bell rung, snapping TJ back into reality. One thought crossed his mind, I have to get Jonah before it's too late.
TJ's last hours at school had no Jonah in them, so he had to wait till after school where he could catch him walking outside. His eyes glued to the clock he didn't finish his science work, and would be taking it home as homework, but he didn't care. TJ ran out of school like it was the last day before summer vacation at the sound of the final bell dismissing all of the students.
Jonah was going his normal way alongside the school trudging through the grass to cross the road, and get onto the sidewalk of town. Before he even made it to the road, his backpack was grabbing making his movement cease to continue. He was turned around to be facing TJ, with his cap blocking out the sunlight. Around his head was blurred out by sunlight, but by the shade his had made he was protected, and the only site he could clearly see was the teens face.
"What do you want?" Jonah asked him rather harshly.
"Uh, I want" TJ paused to think of a simple answer, "you?"
"What do you mean you want me?" Jonah asked dumbfounded.
"I can't explain it," TJ said sounding as if it was the most unfortunate event of his entire week.
"Then just show me, what you mean," Jonah suggested. With that said his last words hung in the air. TJ bit his bottom lip, pulling it in as he got an idea. His long arm bumped into Jonah's finding his hand before holding it. When Jonah reluctantly held his larger hand back, TJ moved their hands up a little higher in between the two of them.
"This," TJ said moving their intertwined hands. "I needed to tell you before you found some new girl," TJ said rather bluntly.
Jonah was taken aback by his previous statement. "Where did you get that idea?" Jonah asked already getting a good idea.
"I don't know, just thought of it, it is true though, and well I really like you," TJ told him. "Plus you haven't let go of my hand yet, so that must mean that you like me too," TJ pointed out to Jonah.
"But I've never dated a boy before," Jonah said, despite TJ already knowing that.
"C'mon bisexuals date both, please I'll treasure you and make you the happiest guy in the world," TJ begged with Jonah finally seeing what Cyrus meant about the cute puppy dog.
Jonah snapped out of his thoughts about TJ being a cute dog with his mind drifting back to the thing about being bisexual. "I'm going to kill Cyrus," Jonah said.
"No you ain't captain pretty boy," TJ said to Jonah.
"What is that my new nickname now?" Jonah asked giving TJ's hand a squeeze letting him know that he still has not let go, but TJ was well aware of that.
"How about this Beck, since you drive a hard bargain, I take you out on one date, and at the end of the night I ask you to be my boyfriend? You gotta at least give me a shot, and besides haven't you been wanting to try being with a guy for awhile now?"
"Yeah I guess, sure lets do it," Jonah agreed. "But with girls it's just seems easier," Jonah told him.
"How?" TJ asked. "All those relationships seemed to end pretty fast," he added.
"Well for starters they don't say stuff that makes me shut down, and turn into a big blushing mess," Jonah said as TJ's face formed a grin.
"But Captain Pretty Boy, that's what makes you beautiful," TJ said smiling at the result. There Jonah was with a face palette of pink carnations.
The End!
That ran long, so much for it being a flash fiction. Close enough, guess this one is a one shot. My question for you peeps, is… is that enough Tonah and I can move onto the other ships like Tarty & Jarty, or do y'all need date chapter of this?
Anyways, peace! I'll leave you with whatever picture I decide on, maybe Tonah if I can find one that I have saved.
