Cyrus talks to TJ to clear the air, and discovers a few things about Jonah that he didn't know. Told from a single POV.

This features an original character - Danny.

Cyrus POV

I felt so awful about what I had done. I saw TJ's face before I left, and there were tears about to form in his eyes. I wish I could love him like that, but I don't.

I had made a plan to talk to my one true love, Jonah. His presence at the match made me really happy and I wanted to tell him how I felt.

*Flashback*

I was in the Spoon with Buffy and Andi, where I had just received a text from Jonah saying he was going to the match. I felt my heart beat faster than ever, and I couldn't wait to see him.

Me: OMG Jonah is going tonight!

Andi: So, what are you going to do?

Me: I want to tell him the truth.

Buffy: Wow, good for you!

Me: I just hope that he doesn't hate me for it.

Andi: I think you'll be okay.

Buffy: Jonah will love you regardless, even if it isn't romantically.

I was feeling reassured, and spent the rest of the day planning my speech. Jonah was finally going to find out.

*End of flashback*

I kept replaying that conversation with the girls in my head repeatedly. I didn't take anything else into consideration.

Without warning, TJ came up to me. He must've followed me after our talk. He wasn't crying anymore, but he was hurt. I put an arm around him, and that confirmed to me that my feelings for him were nothing more than platonic.

TJ: I'm sorry Cyrus.

Me: Don't be TJ, I'm really flattered that you feel like that, but I'm afraid I don't feel the same.

TJ: I was a fool to think that anyone would love me.

Me: That's not true, there is someone that loves you, I'm sure.

TJ: You think?

Me: Yes, there is someone for everyone.

Before another word was said, I noticed a tall guy from the basketball team come over to us. His name was Danny, and he looked sad too.

Danny: TJ? Are you okay?

TJ: I just want someone to love me.

Danny: Are you sure there isn't someone who does?

TJ: Yes, no one would ever care about me that way!

Danny shocked both TJ and myself by pulling TJ close and kissing him on the lips. It was amazing to watch, and when they parted, TJ was really happy.

TJ: Does that mean...?

Me: I love you TJ, be mine, please?

TJ: Yes I will!

Me: I told you TJ!

I wasn't upset when TJ didn't respond, I saw he was smitten and that made me happy. As they walked away together, I saw Andi, Buffy and Jonah walk towards me.

Andi: TJ looked happy.

Me: He's going out with Danny now. It's very sweet.

Buffy: Are you okay?

Me: Yes, I'm good.

There was a brief pause before Jonah broke the silence. I was gazing into his eyes and getting lost in them.

Jonah: Cyrus, there is something I need to tell you.

Me: Let me go first Jonah.

Jonah: O-okay.

Me: First of all, you were really sweet to help TJ, I'm glad you two get along so well now.

Jonah: I thought he was going to make you happy, which would make me happy too.

Me: Well, the reason I didn't say yes to him was because... I want to go out with you, Jonah Babona.

A massive weight felt like it had been lifted off of my shoulders. It was great to get that out to my best friend. Jonah stood wide eyed, and then the biggest smile formed on his face.

Jonah: You... really feel that way Cy-guy?

Me: Yes, more than anything else in the world. I don't have much to offer you--.

Jonah: That's not true! You are loyal, caring, smart, the most amazing person ever really.

Me: That's honestly one the kindest things I've ever heard you say.

Jonah: It's nothing other than the truth.

Me: I was so excited about you attending the match tonight.

Jonah: Really?

Me: Absolutely, I was going to tell you how I felt when we met the girls, but TJ had other plans.

Jonah: Is that why you were so happy when we walked to the arena?

Me: Yes, I wanted to hold your hand and beg you to go out with me.

I became red in the face. I knew that I was becoming a bit emotional and I didn't care. The situation called for it as I wanted to be honest with the best friend I ever had. Jonah took my hands in his and looked at me directly.

Jonah: Do you want to know something?

Me: Sure.

Jonah: When TJ told me what he felt for you, I felt so jealous.

Me: You did?

Jonah: It made me understand a few things about myself.

Me: Like what?

Jonah: How much I want to be with a Good-man!

We all chuckled a bit at his pun. My face became very serious when I understood exactly what he meant by it.

Me: So, what are you saying?

Jonah: I'm gay Cyrus, and I only love you.

I gasped, after hearing the words that I've wanted to hear for the longest time. Jonah was being sincere, and in one day, he had shown so many good qualities.

Me: But what about Andi? What about Amber?

Jonah: I loved them very much, but not in the way I love you.

Me: I love you with all of my heart.

I couldn't hold back tears, as I watched Jonah get on one knee in front of me. He looked really scared, but so genuine.

Jonah: Cyrus Goodman, will you make me the happiest guy alive, and be my boyfriend?

Me: Yes, I want to be your boyfriend, Jonah Beck!

Andi: Yay!

Buffy: Okay, calm it down Andi.

Andi: But it's beautiful Buffy.

Buffy: I know, but let them enjoy the moment first.

After hearing the girls playfully argue with each other, Jonah stood up and pulled me close. My head rested lovingly on his shoulder.

Me: Before anything else happens...

Jonah: What?

As Jonah looked at me, I closed the gaps, and connected our lips. The warmth of his body was comfortable, his touch was so gentle and his face was just perfect.

Jonah: It's official, we belong together.

Me: I wouldn't have it any other way.

The breeze blew around us softly, and the world around us blurred as I noticed there was only one thing, one person I saw clearly, and that was my JoJo.

I kept changing how this oneshot ended, hope it worked.
