Chapter 5 - The Disguises
~•~ Recap ~•~
Cyrus agreed to help TJ get Amber to be his girlfriend. Meanwhile Andi kissed Amber, and discovered...well cherry chapstick. As for Marty, and Jonah they both expressed their love for each other by getting somewhat intimate.
~•~
At last Amber had felt it, when being kissed. It was that magical moment that was always described as fireworks going off in the background, with those sparks tingling in her lips. Her whole life she had been told it was wrong by her parents, it was implemented into her mind. She grew up believing that. Now after one little kiss, she was not in denial anymore, but her parents must never know or else they might divorce, and neither one not want her.
Andi had gotten messaged by Amber, which she was not in the mood to talk to her after getting in trouble by going with her to a party. Sadly she accidentally tapped onto her new message pulling it up. Figuring it was best to respond instead of leaving her on read, she replied back. Amber explained to her that she thinks she's lesbian. Andi didn't know much of what to say. Amber went on telling Andi how neither one of them have a boyfriend, and how it was Andi that kissed her, that they should secretly date.
Andi told Amber that she couldn't because she had gotten in trouble for going to the party with her. Amber tried to apologize, but because it was not face to face Andi couldn't tell if Amber was genuinely sorry or not. Whichever way it might have been Andi accepted her apology, and gave her a maybe for dating.
Andi would never describe herself as lesbian, she knows for sure that she likes guys. As for why she kissed Amber, that still remains a mystery to herself. She was what is known as pansexual. Although some might argue that Andi only wanted Jonah based off of his looks. Andi liked to think that was just lust, and after getting to know the perfect guy she loved him, that was until she found out how broken he really was. Besides Jonah never seemed to return the feelings she had towards him, sure he would do something like a horrible gift, or a crappy song, but other times he would be out with another girl acting like she don't exist.
Jonah was never able to commit to his relationship with Andi, nor did he have the heart to tell her why. It was easy for Jonah to tell Marty he loved him, and that was exactly the why. It was him, not her. From all those times of growing up the question of what girl do you like? Came up insinuating that he had to be attracted to girls. It's that same toxic way of communication that has screwed up many LGBT+ individuals.
Even after knowing that, Jonah, and Marty still felt the same need as Andi, and Amber do to hide their relationship. What neither of them knew is that Cyrus planned to be openly gay in public with Lucas. Cyrus always has been the happy go lucky guy, except for the time when Andi was dating his crush.
Luckily for Cyrus, he did not need Jonah anymore, he had Lucas. Sure the relationship was new, however it had already been long enough for Cyrus' last sliver of feelings remaining for Jonah to be terminated. The Gayest Straight Guy could tell something about Cyrus, he was what seemed to be called the honeymoon faze. Cyrus would walk down the halls standing up unlike his own sexuality, straight. Nothing had seemed to kill his spirit, or bum him out. Even on the mornings he would not get a chocolate chip muffin. He acted like he didn't care, but who knows maybe he doesn't care anymore, because what is important to him nowadays is that one person, Lucas, his boyfriend.
That boyfriend had seemed like such an unattainable goal for so long, that when he finally gotten it, it had taken him awhile to get used to his reality.
The maybe that Andi had given Amber was taken as yes, and as a yes by Amber. With being in trouble from the party, Andi wasn't allowed to go to other people's houses. The only time she could get with Amber, was at the Spoon while Amber was on duty secretly spending extra time slacking off by Andi. This happened quite often, and one of those days happened to be this very day. The day that the boys walked in on them.
The door chimed as in stepped Jonah, and Marty who were hoping to have a quick meal together without their friends other than Cyrus seeing them together. Andi of course had to look when she saw the bell ring to meet eyes with Jonah, who locked eyes back. Now he practically had to go over, especially since Andi was sitting alone.
"What are you doing here, by yourself?" Jonah asked Andi while still standing up looking down upon her.
"Keeping me company, what are you two doing here, I didn't know you were even friends?" Amber asked after she answered for Andi. She done this as she swung by the table with a tray filled with trash she just cleaned off from a table.
Marty replicated Amber's action of answering for the other person as he told her, "just grabbing a bite to eat. We figured some one on one time could help us get to know eachother better."
"Get to know eachother better?" Amber mocked, "that sounds an awful lot like dating."
With fear of what Marty might say Jonah jumped back in with a, "we're not." That quick action honestly made Marty a little sad. So what if they were dating, what's it to them?
The manager working that day yelled at Amber to get back to work making her have to leave. Jonah then slid into the booth with Marty sitting beside him. They hadn't even been sitting there for more than three minutes before Andi commented, "Amber was onto, something you two could be a couple." Andi didn't like saying what she did with her lingering feelings for the boy who never loved her back, but she has a girlfriend, now so she kinda has to.
Jonah looked over at Marty to be met back by his gaze. It was as if Marty's eyes were begging Jonah to say something to Andi about them. Unfortunately Jonah was not focused on his eyes for long, the shade of pink that flushed onto his cheeks was an more adorable sight that Jonah enjoyed. "If we were a couple, what would you think?" Jonah quietly asked, "would you tell anyone?"
Andi was catching onto what Jonah was doing. He was trying a commonly know strategy known as testing the waters. Nonetheless Andi answered all of his questions that he had. "If you were, I'd think I'm happy for you, actually no happy for both of you. But I would have some questions for Marty about Buffy, you guys really did seem like you'd be together till the end. Oh yeah also I wouldn't tell anyone."
What Andi had told them left Marty in deep thoughts while a waiter came over, and took their orders. Jonah noticed Marty was out of it, and took the liberty of ordering for him. Marty thought about Buffy, and how good things were going with her, until the horrible day he wanted to have her as a girlfriend. If he could take back that day he would, it brought him so much shame, and embarrassment, he hid under his covers for what felt like days. He didn't dare show his rejected face to Buffy after that it was too much for him.
After the waiter had left Jonah told Andi, "that's cool, but we're not. Also when did you start keeping Amber company, especially after what she had done to you?"
"Look Jonah," Andi said expressing herself with her hands going up into the air before falling down to the table. "Amber has changed, she's not that person anymore, she's actually a really good person."
Jonah took the opportunity to get sassy with Andi. "Oh yeah if she's so good why don't you just date her?" That question got Marty's attention pulled back into the conversation.
Andi quipped back, "why don't you just date him?" whilst pointing at Marty who would not object to that idea, then again they were already dating.
Both Andi, and Jonah gave their answers at the same time in unison, "because." After that one word, it fell silent, and neither one had the heart to ask because why?
Amber brought out their order, ending her shift, so she decided to join Andi. Marty looked at his plate to see french fries before grinning, "you know I don't even want french fries, you can have them." Amber, and Andi watched as Marty transferred the fries over to Jonah's plate. It got Andi thinking, Marty used to love french fries, he would steal them Buffy. Maybe it brought him back too many painful memories to have them anymore. Andi hoped that her best female friend had not damaged that boy's heart that much with her rejection. Till this day she has yet to have Buffy explain to her why, and with her dating Walker, it seems she never will.
The next thing that was said was Marty pointing at the window, "is that what I think it is?"
"Where, what?" the group asked while scanning outside the window with their eyes not spotting anything that stuck out to them. Andi gave up while the other two kept looking, "I don't see anything," they said.
Marty sneakily grabbed some fries from Jonah's plate while Andi gasped at the sudden action making Jonah, and Amber turn to see what she was gasping at. Marty hadn't had enough time to cram them all in his mouth, and there was still half of a fry hanging out of his mouth.
Jonah stared at Marty with a face that begged the question of really? Jonah's facial expression changed as Marty stayed motionless, Jonah began to laugh. Marty nearly laughed, but had to fight them back unless he wanted to have death by salted potato.
Amber whispered something that was inaudible to Marty, and Jonah to Andi. The Asian-American girl then deadpanned, "you seriously can't tell me you two aren't dating. That's gotta be one of the cutest displays of public affection I've ever seen."
Getting frustrated Jonah asked, "so what if we are? Huh!"
After hearing Jonah speak like that they understood that they were making him upset. Amber empathized with him, "nothing, absolutely nothing. We were just curious."
Under the table Marty gripped onto Jonah's hand warning him to not do anything stupid. Jonah then told them, "okay we are big whoopty freakin do. We didn't want to tell you guys, or anyone, because.." Jonah took the time to think.
"-Because of the fear of being judged?" Amber asked finishing his sentence.
"Yeah how'd you know," Jonah said feeling much better that they understood why he wanted to keep his relationship a secret.
Amber turned to Andi, and asked, "do you wanna tell them, or me?"
"I thought you didn't want to?" Andi said.
"That's correct, I don't want to, but I need to tell someone else before my head explodes," Amber said. Turning back to face Jonah, and Marty she confessed, "Andi, and I are getting to know eachother better."
"So you're dating?" Marty asked not quite getting it.
"Kinda," Amber said. Marty then gave a polite smile to the two. Jonah was in shock about Andi, way more than she was about him. She had her suspicions of Beck, the hot guy who always seemed more interested in her friend Cyrus than her. Jonah really thought he knew Andi, but apparently he didn't he was way wrong.
"So what are you going to do when you want to go out on dates, but don't want anyone knowing?" Amber asked trying to steal whatever answer they had so she, and Andi could do the same.
"I don't know," Marty said.
Andi then came up with a brilliant idea being creative as usual. "Actually I think I know. All of us could go on double dates, when someone asks we could pretend to be dating each other."
"So what me, and Amber, and you and Marty?" Jonah asked.
"Yeah," Andi said.
"That is if you wanna pretend to date your ex in public," Amber added smirking at Jonah. Even if it was the other way around, and Jonah had Andi, he'd still be pretending to date his ex girlfriend.
"I'm cool with it," Jonah told them.
"Great so everything works out then," Marty said before taking some victory fries from Jonah.
"What's your deal, you literally gave me your fries because you didn't want them?" Jonah asked.
"Yeah I know, but this is more fun," Marty replied with a bright smile that challenged Jonah's dimples that many adored like Andi for example.
End Of Chapter 5
Dang it's been five chapters already, and I already got two queer couples, I just can't help myself can I? I'm not sure about you all, but I feel like my writing skills diffinity improved with this one chapter. I found myself using words I never used before, thank you other people writing fanfiction showing me how to use them.
Now time for a question, how would y'all feel about me writing a story for a different fandom, more specifically for Game Shakers? It'd be gay, and smutty as heck all about Hudson. Since gay, and smutty is how most of yins like it anyway. Also I'd like to know what is your favorite part, or aspect of this story so far?
