(A/N: thank you to everybody's feedback! Also sorry, meant to upload SO LONG AGO! But I'm back as much as I can be! Any and all suggestions are welcome!)
Cyrus was walking slowly towards his safe place. Wanting to get away from all the stress. Especially now that he told Andi and Buffy his dilemma! As he was walking up to the swing set, he noticed someone already there. It was TJ, sitting on the other swing with his head low.
After another comment about how Jonah couldn't do anything to hurt TJ made by TJ himself, Jonah formed a fist, and threw a strong punch at the other teen's eye.
TJ, stumbled but regaining his balance, only became more angered. Then, "in self defense" as TJ planned on putting it if anyone found out, powerfully yanked the back on Jonah's coat, and slammed the boy into the swing set pole.
"TJ!" Cyrus called out to him in greeting before making it to the swings. "Hey, what's up?" After Cyrus asked this, TJ lifted his head to reveal a small but dark black eye over his left eye. Cyrus gasped, "How did that happen??"
In response, TJ simply shrugged, not wanting to tell Cyrus he got into some fight with his friend. "Hey really, what happened?" Cyrus asked in a more calm tone.
"You think THIS is bad? You should see the other guy" TJ joked. To this, Cyrus just gave him a stare so he finally sighed.
"This was Jonah." TJ said quietly. Cyrus freaked out! "Jonah?! Jonah Beck did THIS? There's no way!" He said in a rush ((hah- in a rush- news in a rush with Joshua Rush- get mai pun? No?-)). TJ sighed once again; "Well there IS a way because he walked up to me all mad, then the next thing I know he's trying to fight."
"He's not the type to just do that!" Cyrus huffed. TJ looked up at him. "You think I'm lying to you?" He asked Cyrus. "No! Of course not it's just weird." He told TJ. "Well it wasn't JUST him.. I guess I egged him on." TJ admitted.
Cyrus threw his head in his hands. "TJ! Why?" He questioned. "Well he was storming over to me all mad for no reason, demanding me to stay away from you! Which clearly I'm not going to do. So I just made a point that he simply can't keep me from talking to you." TJ explained to a very flustered Cyrus. Hearing this, he slowly lifted his head to look at the blonde. "Jonah did what?"
"That surprises you?" TJ asked. Cyrus scoffed; "well YEAH. Why would he do that?" Even though he knew exactly why.
TJ sighed and Cyrus slumped onto the swing next to his friend and crush. "Is there any chance you've had time to think?" TJ asked him. Cyrus lightly swung back and forth while looking past TJ. "I can't have you guys just fighting! It doesn't help me THINK about this situation if you guys are trying to kill each other!" He half-shouted.
After that, TJ just let his head fall again as he slowly swung back and forth like Cyrus did. Noticing his change of mood, Cyrus couldn't help it. He leaned forwards and planted a kiss on his crush's lips. He quickly pulled back, bright as a tomato. Instead of freaking out at Cyrus- like Cyrus thought TJ would do- TJ stood up, got closer to Cyrus and pulled him up, close to him.
He pulled him closer and held him to him by the small boy's hips. Cyrus and TJ were so close they could feel each other's heartbeats as TJ reaches down and kissed the nervous boy. Except this time Cyrus didn't back away or try and hide his face. Both boys just melted into the kiss, enjoying their moment.
After some time, they pulled away from each other and Cyrus almost freaked out. "I- I- I shouldn't have done that- I'm sorry. I'm gonna go!" Cyrus stuttered and ran the other way, planning to run home.
TJ watched as he left, feeling better than when Cyrus came to the swing set in the first place.
Instead of making it all the way home, Cyrus RAN straight into Buffy. "Hey! Dang Cyrus slow down! Wait whoa what's wrong?" Buffy asked as she noticed his expression. Once he calmed down, and they reached his house, Cyrus explained to his friend what happened.
"Cyrus! I thought you were going to say no to both of them!" Buffy exclaimed.
"Didn't you hear my story? I didn't have a chance! Besides.. I don't know if I want to!" He told her.
"You have to, Cyrus. Don't get me wrong, Jonah is my friend, but they are both just going to end up hurting you. Whether Jonah realizes it or not, he's not right for you. And TJ? That's an obvious reason. You can't let this happen." Buffy said.
Cyrus was disappointed to hear that. What was he going to do?
