Jonah laid in Cyrus's arms like a stagnant rock. The boy had tears running down his face for the second time today as he thought about his best friend. Although it seemed like normal banter and teasing between TJ and Jonah, Jonah's heart couldn't take much more. TJ was the only friend who had been there for him when things weren't going well with Cyrus.

Jonah had just finished telling Cyrus about how he really felt about TJ's situation. Cyrus's reaction was a mixture of shock and worry. Cyrus knew Jonah and TJ were close but he didn't realize how much Jonah actually cared about the other Alpha. It's actually a very uncommon thing amongst Alphas. They crave dominance, so when it comes to other Alphas emotions and feeling they normally don't care. With Jonah and TJ is was different. Their relationship didn't fit the norm.

"Cy it's not fare. He didn't do anything to anyone. TJ's innocent. You saw how he acts Cyrus. He's so happy. He's dads are so loving. Why does he have to suffer."Jonah weeped digging his head deeper into Cyrus's chest.

Cyrus couldn't find the words to say to help Jonah feel like himself again. All he could do was hold the boy as he continued to sob. He wasn't used to seeing Jonah so emotional before. Matter of fact he wasn't used to seeing Alphas so emotional period. It scared Cyrus when he thought about it.

"Jonah, some people have to go through certain things to make them realize what's important to them. You see how much TJ loves his dad and how much they love him. It's undeniable how happy they are. Maybe in another life TJ doesn't have cancer and he's ashamed and embarrassed of his dads. Who knows. All I know is that we only have one life and we should live it the best way we can." Cyrus finally voiced.

Jonah nodded in Cyrus's chest as tears flowed like rivers from the boy's eyes. Cyrus had finally realized that Jonah just wasn't crying over TJ. He was crying over him too. Cyrus hadn't thought about how Jonah dealt with their few hours of separation. He could feel Jonah's soul seeping into his own as he started to cry. Jonah looked up from Cyrus's chest and turned Cyrus so that Cyrus was now laying on his chest.

"Look at what you did." Cyrus noticed wiping his tears with the hem of Jonah's shirt.

Jonah gave a light chuckle as his tears dried on his face. Cyrus faked frowned and studied Jonah's face. The boys eyes were red from all the crying he did but his mood had obviously shifted.

"I know we just had tacos at TJ's house but I'm still hungry." Jonah brought up.

"Yeah...I guess crying makes you hungry." Cyrus laughed.

The next day after school...

"Party time!" Andi said excited.

Cyrus sighed and crossed his arms. "Can we just go home?"Cyrus complained.

"No Cyrus...I'll drag you there myself if I have to." Buffy threatened.

Jonah walked up behind Cyrus and rapped his arms around the boy while kissing the back of his neck and resting his forehead against the back of Cyrus's head.

Jonah then whispered into Cyrus's ear making the smaller boy's mouth drop to the floor as his face began to turn a cherry red.

"What did you say?" Buffy asked curiously.

"Nothing that's to your concern." Jonah replied with a smirk.

"Ewwww...I hate I even asked." Buffy said disgusted.

"Come on what are we standing around for. Let's go." Andi exclaimed grabbing walker's hand and dragging the boy towards the exit.

Buffy and Marty were the next to leave. Cyrus and Jonah let the other couples walk ahead as they stayed behind.

"We can leave early if you start not have a good time." Jonah offered.

"You promise?" Cyrus questioned.

"Yup." Jonah replied taking the boy hand.

10 minutes later

Booming music and dancing bodies in swim suits could be seen littering the sandy beach. The whole school had showed up making it seem more like a school event without any teachers to monitor what was going on.

Jonah stepped out of the restroom with just his swimming trunks causing some girls near the restroom to giggle and blush. He paid them zero attention as he looked at Cyrus who was glaring at the girls staring at Jonah. He then grabbed Cyrus by the waist surprising the boy.

Before Cyrus could say anything his lips were attacked by Jonah's lips which made the girls scoff in disgust. "My eyes are only on you Cy. So don't worry about those girls." Jonah assured letting go of the kiss.

"Damn sexy!" TJ joked whistling at Jonah as he walked up to the couple.

"Hey Cyrus." TJ waved.

Cyrus smiled brightly at TJ and waved back.

"Wait you actually came?" Jonah asked shocked.

"The whole schools here. You'd thought I'd miss this." TJ exclaimed.

"You just came because your lonely didn't you." Jonah teased.

TJ squinted but smiled warmly. "Well if cancer takes me I don't wanna die a virgin." TJ laughed causing the couple to laugh along.

10 minutes later...

Cyrus was actually enjoying himself as he danced with Jonah. He didn't know how to dance but he didn't care. He was with the one person he wanted to be with so he didn't care. As a slow song came on Jonah grabbed Cyrus's hands and slowly swayed back a fourth. Cyrus repeatedly stepped on Jonah's foot causing the smaller boy to apologize several times before Jonah got annoyed and shushed Cyrus with his lips. As they kissed they continued to slowly dance to the rhythm of the song.

Natalie, who was watching the whole ordeal from a few feet away was seething with anger. She walked up to the DJ booth and grabbed the microphone making it screech. People covered their eyes as sum verbally cursed at her for interrupting the music.

"Sorry to interrupt such a beautiful moment for everyone but as the host of this party I wanna give some special shout outs." Natalie announced with an evil smirk.
