"cyrus! you are going to this party!" andi declared, trying to pull him off his couch.

"no. i'm. not!" cyrus complained.

buffy sighed. "c'mon, you turn 18 in 3 hours! "

"not that that matters! we still have school. it's a sunday."

"so? we graduate in a few months. and you're like, the smartest senior at grand." andi assured.

cyrus sighed. "ugh, fine. but if i regret this, you guys bring me home immediately and you have to buy me that pride shirt."

"deal." andi and buffy said at the same time.

they reached the house, and it was pretty big. they weren't sure who's house it was, but they knew it belonged to a northern tech student, another high school in the area.

they entered, and andi ran off to the drinks, while buffy went to dance with some hot guy.

cyrus walked up the stairs, and walked into a, what he thought was, an empty room.

imside was a boy aroumd his age on the bed, and he looked up at cyrus as he shut the door. "hi."

cyrus glanced at him. "sorry, sh-should i leave?"

"no, you're fine. i actually needed the company." the boy laughed. "the names tj."

cyrus smiled softly. "cyrus."

he sat next to tj. "do you go to grand?"

"no, northern tech. do you?"

"yeah, i go to grand. is this your house?"

tj laughed. "it's my buddy, walker's."

"hmm." cyrus answered.

"have you gotten your soulmate mark yet?" tj asked.

"depends. what time is it?" cyrus asked.

tj pulled out his phone, checking the time. "11:35."

"in 25 minutes i will." cyrus yawns.

"your birthday's tomorrow, man, happy early birthday."

"thanks. have you got yours?"

"yeah."

"nice."

"cyrus, why'd you come if you weren't even gonna do anything?"

"friends dragged me. why are you here?" cyrus giggled, a little blush crept on tj's face.

"oh, same. except, i live here technically." tj sighed.

"but you said it was walker's house?"

"it is. my parents kicked me out of the house for being...gay....a month ago. he and his parents invited me to live with them after that."

cyrus' smile disappeared. "sorry..but if it makes you feel any better, i'm gay too."

tj laughed. "no you're not."

"yeah i am. i actually asked my friends for a pride sweatshirt."

"heh." tj smiled, laying down. he patted his chest. "lay here."

cyrus looked a little confused. "oh, i'm not going to hook up with you-"

"i know." tj said. "i was never planning on it."

cyrus hesitantly layed on his chest.

it was warm and comforting, not like a pillow, but felt nice.

"you're adorable, cyrus." tj said.

"i get that alot." cyrus giggled.

"of course you do." tj smiled.

time went by, and tj looked at the clock. it was 12:01.

he looked back down at cyrus. "happy birthday, cyrus."
