When there's only me and you - Tyrus

Buffy - Chapter Twenty four

It had been two months since the end of summer my tank tops had transformed into sweaters shorts into jeans I didn't mind fall really but this year it felt so long since winter break meant I got to see my new and old friends again.

My classes were long and boring with everyone in their groups and me just hanging out with whoever let me,

I lived for every other weekend when Justin came to his dad's house we would spend the whole weekend together normally at my house since my mother worked quite a bit.

It was the second weekend of November and Justin sat leaning up against the big couch in my living room, he had slid down there at one point and never bothered to get up again. No matter how hard I tried he was so good at smash bros and his hair kept brushing up against my leg distracting me as my heart jumped into my thoughts. I so wanted to win but he was stupid good at everything we played super smash, Mario cart, Mario party, and even Wii sports. Not to mention the countless games of basketball we had played and he had one,

I'm lying I know how many games we've played and how many he won and how many I won, he had 83 games I had won a measly 18.

"buffy have you ever played your own game," he asked as he unlocked yet another achievement, some character I didn't know the name of, I wasn't a huge Nintendo fan so I didn't know most of the name of the characters.

"Yeah, I have thank you I just didn't do all these weird crap you're doing" I tossed the fluffy blue couch pillow at him "why are you even sitting on the floor," I ask as the game paused between the rounds, ever since Mario party he's been on the floor his long legs propped up on the stool in front of the armchair and his head resting on the couch and I hate how cute he looks all sparlled out in my living room

"because I always play sitting on the ground, Teej Markus conner and Alex got to sit on the couch in Markus basement because normally they where there first so I would sit on the floor then bother Alex and Teej got boyfriends and I still never got to sit on the couch," he joked laughing a little bit, I start to think about them all of them playing games and I know I'm thinking about Cyrus basement and not this Markus kids basement but they're all just having a good time and think off all the missed time I could have had with these people.

"poor little baby never got a place on the couch," I teased because if I say something serious that I might show I like him more then I should, yeah we kissed at the end of summer but we never talked about it afterwards. So I tease him and I never thought I could feel this way about someone and still love when they tease me,

"alright but if I lose this round I'm going back to the floor," he hopped up and when our arms touch it sent shivers down my spine and my heart leaps back into my trough, his head is right there next to mine and his voice echoes in my ears.

"you think the floor is your ticket to winning," I asked rolling my eyes I'm still joking my now I'm worried about sound like a lovesick weirdo, maybe Justin goes around kissing girls and I was just another one I should ask Cyrus we text now, every so often the video chats me and he hangs out with Andi again, I don't think his relationship with Johan will ever be the same if he has one with Johan again at all.

"you're a Jock you're telling me you don't have some dumb superstition," he smirks at me and my chest hurts from how fast my hearts beating but he just sets up the next round for him to beat me. I know he'll win I haven't won yet.

"I guess I do, I have to comb through my hair twenty times before I go out on the court besides sitting on the floor what is yours" I tell him he just nods like its nothing but I guess in there own right each Jock superstition is odd

"its a team thing and it's really different, but we play madness by rullee because it was Cyrus favourite song at the time and we won the championships by 20 points so we have to listen to it before we go out to the court." he scratches his neck then I see we're ready to play an he focuses so intently on the screen. His eyes almost change colour as he watches the tv and I want to win so badly but I lose yet again

"This is no fun with you being so good" I pout because I know I can't win

"But your such a good loser," he laughs I can't help but wonder if he feels the same way about me as I feel about him right now but his smile is so kind that I wanna kiss him again. 

"Anyone who knew me when I was young know that's not true" I tease at his reply,

"So I have been told," he nods

"Did Cyrus talk about me?" I ask because I'm dying to know and because I want him to have talked about me, not in a cruel way but as I was a hazy dream that he looked back in fondly

"He would tell TJ and tj tells me everything tj and Cyrus Maybe boyfriends but I know TJ better then he knows himself and he knows me like that too," he shrugs it's sweet to know that guys have friends like girls do people who know you inside and out.

"I always had Andi who knew me like that but not so much now once she became friends with amber," I admit

"I like amber she's a nightmare in heels but if you spend enough time with her you see she's more then what she pretends to be" Justin admit

"How do you know amber," I ask because she didn't run in TJ circles I don't think and Cyrus even though he would help her they weren't all that close

"Teejs mom and ambers mom worked together so the kids spend a lot of time together she some times chills with us." Justin looks as if he's hiding something bigger but I don't push, "If I tell you this please don't tell Cyrus," he looks back up at me

"I wouldn't unless it's really bad," I tell him because I want to know but I cant lie to him, 

"It's not it's just he gets jealous and Tj hadn't told him so I don't want it to do bad to there relationship and become TJ personal punching bag for a week." He then scratches the nape of his neck again 

"alright," I nod 

"TJ and Amber had sex the summer before ninth grade and they were each other first time, so they have this bond even though they never really dated," Justin told me he looked so embarrassed to have told me. I was so shocked 

"I thought TJ was" I start and Justin cuts me off, 

"he bisexual, prefers guys but he has dated girls in the past," he tells me after this summer I couldn't see TJ with anyone but TJ, 

"I guess I didn't think about that." I brush my hair back he just nods and where quite for a second 

"most people don't, I don't really blame you, the thing is if Cyrus knew it would upset him, he's dated one other person and I don't think Cyrus gets TJ complected history, with everyone." Justin gave me a small smile and I wouldn't what would it be like to date someone who has something more going on with him then what meets the eye
