Jyrus Oneshots - Part I (COMPLETED)

Conflicted - Part 1

This takes place after 3x11. TJ talks to Jonah about his feelings for Cyrus. This prompts Jonah to have a realisation of his own, and he is torn. Should he help TJ, or tell Cyrus how he feels? Told from a single POV

Jonah POV

Life has become easier ever since I ended my grudge with TJ. I could tell this had a positive effect on all of us. In particular, it made Cyrus happy, which made me happy. 

TJ and I have been hanging out a lot more, and I have to admit I was completely wrong, he's a very good guy.

I was sat down in the Spoon, chilling on my own as the rest of the gang wanted to go shopping, and that's not really for me. TJ approached me, and I saw a look of agitation on his face.

Me: You okay dude?

TJ: Yeah I'm fine, but I want your help.

Me: Cool, what can I do for you?

TJ: *sighs* Well, I... I'm gay and I really like someone.

Everyone seems to be coming out to me at the moment. Not that I'm complaining, I feel flattered that people are comfortable talking to me.

Me: Oh, who is it?

TJ: It's Cyrus.

I looked up at him in shock. I knew he was fond of Cyrus, but not to that extent. I felt something completely new with this revelation, a feeling I've never felt before. I pushed it to the side in order to continue talking to TJ.

Me: Oh cool bro.

TJ: You're not mad?

Me: Why would I be mad?

TJ: I don't want to get in between your friendship with Cyrus.

Me: Thanks for the concern, but I know it'll be fine.

TJ: Okay, but what should I do?

Me: What do you mean?

TJ: How do I woo Cyrus?

Me: Well, why not try giving him flowers after your basketball match tonight? But tell him how you feel at the same time.

TJ: I could do that.

We did a bro handshake and TJ began to smile, although there was still a look of anxiousness on his face.

Me: Do you want me to go to the game, and help you to do this?

TJ: Yes, that would be great.

After TJ left, I was determined to work out what this new feeling actually was. It was such a weird feeling, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I thought about it a little more, and I had an idea.

I remembered that I started having this new emotion when TJ told me he liked Cyrus. At that moment, I knew exactly what it was. I was jealous, because after years of friendship, I had fallen for Cyrus myself.

I texted Cyrus and started making a plan to help TJ, even though in all honesty, I wished I was doing this for myself.

*Text conversation*

Me: Hey Cy-guy! I'm going to the basketball match tonight, want to walk with me?

Cy-guy: Sure JoJo, I'd like that!

Me: Cool, see you tonight!

Cy-guy: See you then!

*End of text conversation*

*Time skip to the match*

I met Cyrus and walked to the game with him. I noticed that he had a spring in his step, which to me confirmed that he must like TJ back. I felt both happy that TJ was going to get his dream, but also sad because I wasn't going to get mine.

Cyrus: I'm excited for the game.

Me: I bet, and I know TJ will be Docious.

Cyrus: I know he will be.

When we arrived, Andi and Buffy were already there. We shared a group hug before Cyrus spoke again.

Cyrus: Glad you're all here.

Andi: Well, it's great for us all to hang out.

Buffy: Even though it's a little bit cold.

Me: Really? I'm getting really hot.

It was true, I was getting a bit hot and flustered, because I couldn't stop looking at Cyrus. This guy was going to be so happy with TJ, and that thought was enough to stop me expressing how I felt for him.

A few moments later, TJ came over and greeted us all. He had followed my advice and brought some flowers for Cyrus. I waited for TJ to speak, whilst seeing Cyrus go red in the face.

TJ: Cyrus, I really like you. Will you go out with me?

It was happening, this would be where Cyrus confirmed his feelings and I would just have to accept that he didn't like me.

Cyrus: Umm... Well...

Hang on, why is Cyrus hesitating? I thought he would leap at the chance to go out with TJ, so what was the problem?

TJ: I know this is a lot, but I spoke to Jonah who recommended that I should get you flowers and tell you how I feel.

Cyrus turned to me, looking lost in thought. I started to think that he was now going to hate me for telling TJ to do that.

Cyrus: Y-you... helped TJ?

Me: Well yes, it's clear he like you and you like him.

Cyrus: I-I'm sorry T-TJ but I c-can't! I love another!

TJ walked away heartbroken, and Cyrus ran out of the arena. I was looking at the girls, and they looked frustrated.

Me: What's going on?

Andi: Cyrus, sort of made a plan tonight.

Me: He did?

Buffy: Yes, when you told him you were coming, he spoke to us and really wanted to talk to you about a few things.

Me: Like what?

Andi: Perhaps he should tell you.

Buffy: Let's go and find him.

Me: I can't believe this is happening! I helped TJ to woo Cyrus despite the fact that--

I suddenly covered my mouth with my hands, preventing myself from revealing anymore to the girls. Andi put a hand on my shoulder, and gave me a sympathetic look.

Andi: Jonah... we know.

Buffy: You don't need to worry. It'll work out.

I wasn't sure if they really knew what I wanted to say or not, but I was grateful for their comfort anyway. Now the question is, what did Cyrus want to say?

I have wanted to write about Jonah giving up his happiness to help someone else. Did this work?
