     "Bye Bronx, see you tommorow!" I yelled to my new friend. It was an unusually warm autumn day as I headed towards the bus loop, with a little pep in my step than normal. This was of course caused by my amazing boyfriend (ahhhh) Jonah Beck. Jonah freaking Beck! I can't believe I'm going out with FREAKING JONAH BECK! As I fangirled in my head, I narrowly missed a pole that I swear wasn't in my path the last time I looked up.

     By the time I got to the bus, it was packed full of students. So rather than taking my typically available seat in the front, I opted for a vacant one at the middle of the bus with a boy I didn't know. He looked to be in our grade, but I had never seen him before. Was he new? Was he an exchange student? Was he sent here by aliens to spy on us and tell his home planet about the intelligence of earth humans? I decided that I could ask all those silly questions when I got to know him a bit better, so I chose to introduce myself. He was facing the window, so when I greeted him, he turned around in surprise, his unkempt honey blond hair looking even better from the front.

     "Oh, hey," he said in a lazy voice that perfectly matched his appearance. He was wearing an oversized gray sweatshirt, baggy light blue jeans, and was holding a backpack that had seen far too many days to be of any use to anyone.

     "Hi!" I gushed back. " I'm Cyrus. What's your name? Are you new here? Sorry for asking, it's just that I haven't seen you before. Am I getting to into your business? I am, aren't I? Sorry, I'll leave you alone now."

     "It's fine, little buddy," he assured me even though he was only a couple of inches taller than me. "I started here at the beginning of school, so I'm kind of new I guess. And my name is Smith, nice to meet you Cyrus." He held out a hand for me to shake, and I accepted.

     "Sorry, I just get a little around new people  sometimes."

     "I know, not everyone can be as kind as me" he chuckled lightly before proceeding to ask, to me of all people "are you homophobic?" Now it was my turn to laugh. He looked at me frustatedly, then said "It's not a joke, you know? There people in the world that have to deal with a lot of bad stuff just for being who they are. You really shouldn't go around making a joke out of it". At this point my laughter had died down to an amused smile, but I was still cracking up on the inside.

     "You" I pointed at him " actually think I" I pointed to myself this time "am homophobic?"

     He nodded at me nervously and it was at that moment I chose to give him a hug. "Aww, Hun, how could even think that? You're gaydar must be malfunctioning, because I am what you call a stereotypical 'gay'." I made air quotes when I said the word gay. It was shocking to me that he couldn't immediately tell that I was gay. Usually it was the FIRST thing people noticed about me.

     I felt awkward about the next question that came into my mind, but before I could ask, he brushed past me as the bus rolled to a stop in our neighborhood. I hadn't even realized we'd started moving, but I guess it was a while ago. He waved before jogging down the steps and heading for his house. I scanned around the bus looking for one of my other friends and decided on texting Bronx. When I went to my messages, I was reminded of my confrontation with Andi and Buffy earlier. I didn't tell Jonah what happened, but I figured he knew anyway. I chose Jonah. I shouldn't be the one who's upset, they're the ones who asked me to choose between them and Jonah, because he was my boyfriend, but I obviously couldn't tell them that.

     I'd forgotten all about texting Bronx when I reached my bus stop and started walking home. I unlocked the door and headed up the stairs of the empty house. None of my teachers had given any homework today, so I thought it would be a good time to text Bronx. Just as I pulled my phone out, I heard the doorbell ring. Who would be coming over this afternoon? When I opened the door I was more than surprised to see my beaming boyfriend standing in the doorway. "Hey Cyrus!" He greeted excitedly.

     "Jonah, what are you doing here? How did you get here so fast?" I wondered, confusion evident in my voice.

     "I asked my sister to pick me up. I wanted to see you," he said rather suggestively. I hope he didn't mean what I think he meant. "Not like that though. I just wanted to hang out with you, since we probably won't be able to at school anymore."

     "Why not?" I asked him.

     "Well, Andi and Buffy aren't exactly my biggest fans right now."

     "Jonah," I said seriously, "I don't care. I care about you. Andi's being petty and Buffy's just going along with it because they're best friends. I want to be with you at school, and at home, and everywhere I go."

     He pulled me into a tight hug and shut the door. I grabbed his hand and dragged him up the stairs, through to my room. "Jonah," I called to him as we sat on my bed.

     "Yeah, babe?" I blushed hearing him call me babe.

     "Have you ever thought about where we'll be in 10 years? If we'll stay together? If we fall in love?"

     "No, but I have thought about what would happen if we kissed." My face flushed a crimson red at those words.

     He leaned in close, grabbing my chin and bringing my face to his, puckering his lips before entangling them in mine, and I kissed back instantly. Fire works went off in my head as we battled for domination in the kiss, me eventually giving in to his wishes, grabbing the back of his hair and him moaning lightly. We took a break for air and breathed heavily, looking into each other's eyes before reconnecting our lips. He begged for entry, and I permitted, then he seductively slid his tongue into my mouth, and it was my turn to moan. I pulled his jacket off him and tossed it to the floor, leaning back against my headboard. My pants began to tighten, and so did his as he reached for the hem of shirt, sliding his cold hands up and down my stomach. Mine chose to go to his back, bringing him impossibly closer to me. He moved from my lips down my jawline, then went on to sucking and kissing and biting my neck. I let out a loud moan and swelled with embarrassment, before flipping us so that I was now straddling him. He looked at me with the biggest smile I had ever seen, and I felt his member against my own. We grinded on each other as our lips found each other's again. I went to slide off his shirt, and would have succeeded, had it not been for those next words.

     "Cyrus, can we talk-" Buffy started before looking at us in surprise, and I jumped off Jonah in horror. " OH MY GOD!" She screamed before running out of the room.

     I looked over to Jonah with a worried look on my face. What had we just done?

A/N: I don't even have an excuse for why this is so late.
