General pov (baseball scene)
After Cyrus and Jonah met up outside the stadium, they bought some snack and took their seats. Cyrus was able to get a little bit of info off Buffy of how baseball works. Even though he didn't understand, he was fine going since he could accompany Jonah.
Cyrus wasn't all too interested in the baseball game. His focus was on a brown haired teen next to him. He felt a tinkling sensation in his stomach and was shaking very noticeably. He has never been alone with Jonah or even this close with Jonah . This was pushing him over the limit.
Cyrus wasn't the only one feeling this way too, Jonah was also very nervous and tense about sitting next to Cyrus Goodmen . Jonah pretend to be watching the game but in reality his eyes were focused on Cyrus. Jonah was really nervous about sitting next to Cyrus that he was fidgeting with his sleeves .
Things were getting more awkwarder by the second for these two and the fact that they were both eating hotdogs didn't help. It was now half time and Jonah and Cyrus were in the middle of taking their 20th selfie. The kiss cam suddenly both caught their attention, it was aimed at a young couple. The two friends sat back and watched the kiss cam move around to different people. The cam seemed to be only aiming at teens or kids, it was showing young love.
Jonah couldn't take it. Seeing how such young people and people his own age find love as shown on the kiss cam. He wanted that and the person he wanted it with was right next to him. He wanted so badly to kiss Cyrus but they were just friends. Instead Jonah moved his hand closer to Cyrus's hand, pinkie touching pinkie. Cyrus suddenly froze at the touch of Jonah's hand, but not in the way when Iris touched his hand. This hand touch made Cyrus feel safe and he accepted it. Jonah smiled and blush as he held hands with Cyrus.
Jonah knew that it was a risky move but when Cyrus accepted his hand hold, he knew he felt the same way for him. It was in that moment, he knew he fucked up, just kidding. It was in that moment when the two "friends" realized that they both liked each other but not in a friendly way.
'Could this moment get any better' Cyrus thought. He couldn't stop smiling. This was the best moment in his life, he hoped it would never end.
"Ahh!" Cyrus yelped as he saw the kiss cam focused on him and Jonah. Cyrus let go of Jonah's hand and planted his face behind his bag of popcorn. Jonah started blushing as everyone chanted together "kiss kiss kiss!" Jonah looked at Cyrus who slowly put down his bag of popcorn and stared at him. The two blushing teens stop starring at each other and leaned in for a kiss.
Magical, sparks, fireworks, was all there was to say about the quick kiss. The two pulled apart smiling into each others eyes.
' oh my god, I kissed Jonah Beck. And he kissed me right back. Oh my god. We kissed for the first time. And in public. On national television. Oh god, the whole world saw it. Oh no, how do I tell Andi. She's going to hate me. What if Buffy sides with Andi and I lose both my friends? what if-' Cyrus thought as he snapped back into reality.
" Okay ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we had the worlds first youngest gay kiss cam. Everyone give a round of applause to those two young gentlemen," the man on the speakers said as the crowd cheered.
' what they're cheering, they don't hate me' Cyrus thought. Never in a million years would Cyrus have thought that he would be excepted for being gay or different as he goes by. He would stay up most nights crying thinking about all the possible horrible reactions that would happen if he came out. For one, he always thought that his step dad and step brother would actually kill him. How Andi would team up with Amber to kill him for stealing their ex/crush, how Jonah would hate him but now he was shocked. He was accepted by hundreds of people he didn't know.
For the first time, Cyrus smile and all his fears and worried drifted away in this moment. And Jonah for one could notice this. He never seen Cyrus this happy before.
Although most of the crowd was cheering there were those who didn't like what they saw. One particular angry man had the bright idea of throwing his bag of popcorn all over the two teens while yelling out that they both will burn in hell. And was then immediately attacked my angry moms for what he did.
Cyrus had ran to the bathroom with Jonah running right behind him. Cyrus placed his head under the hand dryer blowing off the popcorn from his head. Jonah couldn't see Cyrus's face but he had the instinct that Cyrus was crying.
" Cyrus are you ok. I'm sorry for what that guy did. He was an asshole, but he got what he deserved when those angry moms attacked him with their purses," Jonah said trying to comfort Cyrus. Cyrus didn't respond.
" Cyrus?" Jonah asked growing more concerned. Then the hand dryer stop and Cyrus stood up facing Jonah with his hair all wild and frizzy. Cyrus didn't have the sad face Jonah pictured, Cyrus was instead laughing.
" Cyrus?" Jonah asked confused.
" are you ok?" Jonah asked again. Cyrus smiled and nodded.
" I was so scared dude, I'm glad your ok" Jonah said relieved.
" oh I'm more than ok, this was a milestone. My whole life I have lived under a cloud of fear, 'don't climb to the top, don't swim after you've eaten, you could get lost and die in corn maze' But today I was reckless, I stood on the edge and looked into the abyss. Did you see that. Everyone, well almost everyone supported me. I thought that they would have attacked me but they didn't. I can't believe I've been living my life under so much fear of what other would think. I feel so free," Cyrus said with his hands out, spinng in a circle. Jonah laughed and walked toward Cyrus. Cyrus froze as Jonah moved closer, too close.
" you have a piece of popcorn left in your hair," Jonah laughed reaching his hand out taking the piece of popcorn off Cyrus's head.
"Oh" Cyrus said expecting something else from Jonah. The two teens where both avoiding the burning question, what did the kiss mean to them? They both were thinking it, but didn't know how to say it.
" Ok, now it's your turn to clean your hair, it's filled with so much popcorn," Cyrus said breaking the silence as he messed with Jonah's hair.
" I'm not putting my head under the hand dryer. Look what it did to your hair it looks like a birds nest," Jonah laughed messing with Cyrus frizzy hair. The two teens forgot about the question and instead spend the time messing with each others hair, giggling, and then doing each others hair. Today had turned out better than expected for these two.
