The two boys sat on Cyrus's living room couch, then began to talk. TJ started the awkward talk by half whispering half mumbling out a sentence that he wanted to be more than friends. Thus made Cyrus begin to stammer and mumble words as well. This weird mumbling went on for about five minutes, until Cyrus mentally told himself to shut up, and TJ did the same.
"So do you want to play a game?" Cyrus asked TJ to break away from the awkwardness that was this sleepover. "Sure, Underdog" TJ replied. Cyrus then grabbed two remotes, and turned on the living room's PlayStation. "I never actually use this, so you may have to do most of the work to get a game started. My parents all bought this for me a year ago, in an attempt to make me normal-ish. But I never used it. Anyways. Do you know how to work this?" He explained.
TJ nodded, laughing slightly at the brunette's explanation for not knowing how to work a console. They went through the game library before choosing a game.
Suddenly, as TJ was showing Cyrus how to work the controller, there was a knock on the front door. Cyrus, confused, stood up to see who it was. Opening the front door, he was smiling to greet whoever it was.
But when he opened it all the way, his smile quickly faded and his heart stopped. Standing on his porch was Jonah Beck, looking upset about something.
"Jonah? What's up?" Cyrus slowly questioned. "H-hey Cy-Guy. Do you have a minute to talk?" Jonah answered.
Cyrus, not knowing what to do, nodded his head and looked over to TJ, holding up his pointer finger to show he'll be a minute.
TJ nodded, and Cyrus stepped onto his porch, shutting the door behind him. "You- okay? You seem bothered." He asked Jonah. "Yeah. I mean, no. Not really. I just need to talk to someone I can trust." Jonah replied, nervously crossing his arms across his chest. Cyrus grew worried as the boy in front of him was rarely upset about anything.
"Well you can talk to me! It's kind of in my blood to be a good listener, you know!" Cyrus smiled in attempt to make Jonah feel better. Jonah replied with a weak and short smile, before sighing, "Cy-Guy.. are you still hanging around TJ?". Cyrus's heart dropped as he wondered why Jonah wanted to know.
"Uhhh. Yeah...? Why?" Cyrus worriedly asked. Jonah dropped his head slightly. "Because. He's trouble."
Cyrus laughed slightly until looking at Jonah and realizing he wasn't kidding. "Oh.. how do you mean?"
Jonah quickly uncrossed his arms and let them fall on either side of him. "He just is!" He looked up at Cyrus, "you shouldn't hang around him. The people he hangs out with. The way he's treated Buffy in the past! I don't want the same thing to happen to you!". Cyrus was so confused!
"Wait... no offense, Jonah.. but since when did you start caring about it? I don't mean to be rude but you never really pay much attention to what I do." Cyrus said slowly, to not hurt the other boys' feelings. "I know.. I'm sorry. But. I just can't stand the thought of you two getting close." Jonah's statement shocked Cyrus. Is Jonah Beck gaining feelings for ME?? Nooo no way! Why now?? Why not when I actually still liked him??? Cyrus pondered in a little frustrated gay way.
Cyrus finally responded "Why?". Jonah looked all nervous again and said "Never mind- I have to go! Just please stop hanging around TJ!".
And with that, Jonah Beck was quickly walking off of Cyrus Goodman's property, leaving a poor shocked gay teen on his porch wondering what to do! Should he trust Jonah and stop talking to TJ?? Or should he try and save his and TJ's friendship, ignoring what Jonah says??
Right now all Cyrus wanted to do is go to his swing and never leave it again.
