Jyrus Oneshots - Part I (COMPLETED)

At First Sight - Part 1

This is an alternate version of how Cyrus and Jonah first meet during Ultimate Frisbee practice. Told from a single POV.

Cyrus POV

It was the start of another school year, which I felt both happy and mad about. I couldn't wait to learn a few more things, but I also wasn't ready to stop having fun in my free time.

Andi had signed up for Ultimate Frisbee, and Buffy had signed up for Basketball, which meant I would have to find something to do after school whilst they practised.

After the last period was over, I spoke to the girls. I knew I wouldn't have much time before they had to get ready.

Andi: So what you got planned?

Me: I don't have anything to do.

Buffy: You didn't sign up for anything?

Me: No, I'm not really interested in what is on offer.

Andi: Why don't you come and watch me practice? It'd be nice to see a friendly face.

Me: Sure! I'd love to.

Buffy: I can come too if you like, Basketball practice starts tomorrow.

Andi: Cool!

We walked with Andi to Ultimate Firsbee practice. I was looking forward to sitting back and watching, because I hated playing sports.

As we arrived at practice, I noticed there was a really nice looking guy with short dark hair, and as he smiled, I saw dimples form on his cheeks. I pointed over to him in curiosity.

Me: Who... is that?

Andi: Oh him? That's Jonah Beck.

Buffy: Is he the captain?

Andi: That's right.

Me: I hope we become friends.

I must have forgotten my self control, as I stared at Jonah and the girl started to giggle lightly at me. I was broken from my trance by Buffy.

Buffy: I'd say you want more than just that!

Me: Eh... What? No!

Andi: I can talk to him if you like.

Me: Nah, that's fine, but thanks.

Andi went off to practice with Jonah, whilst I sat with Buffy. I tried to concentrate on Andi, but I was continually drawn to Jonah.

Buffy: You know what the heart wants...

Me: Buffy!

Buffy: Come off it Cyrus, you should try and speak to him.

Before I could react, a Frisbee was thrown near to where I was sat, and Jonah came running over. It was like time stopped.

Jonah: Hey dude, can I have my Frisbee back?

Me: Uh...

Buffy saw me struggling so she pushed me closer and instead of throwing the Frisbee to him, I walked it over to Jonah.

Me: H-here you... g-go!

Jonah: Thanks bro.

Me: Y-you're welcome d-dude!

Jonah: You're funny! I'm Jonah Beck, what's your name?

Me: C-Cyrus Goodman.

Buffy gestured to me to shake his hand, so I extended my hand out nervously, but he just smiled and hugged me. I can feel my heart racing as I realise how close we are.

Jonah: Cyrus... that's a cool name. You gonna stay for the rest of practice?

Me: Yes I-I will!

Jonah: Chill dude, you don't need to be nervous.

I couldn't reply, but I had felt something I'd never felt before. The new feeling warmed me inside, and I felt like I mattered. I returned to where Buffy was stood, and my cheeks were the brightest shade of pink.

Buffy: Love is in the air.

Me: I wish!

Buffy: He looked pretty smitten to me.

Me: With who?

Buffy: Jonah clearly likes a guy.

Me: Oh *sighs*.

Buffy: By which I mean you!

Me: Haha, good joke Buffy.

Buffy: Cyrus, stop it. He clearly likes you. He gave you a hug.

Thinking about it, Buffy had a point. I don't know any other guy who hugs another guy to greet them for the first time.

Me: Well, I'll keep my hopes down.

We watched the rest of the practice session, and as Buffy and I waited, Andi walked over to us.

Andi: Thanks for watching, it meant a lot.

Buffy: That's okay.

Me: No problem.

Andi: I see you met Jonah.

Me: Yes, he's cool.

Andi: I think he likes you Cyrus.

Me: What?

Andi: He kept looking at you, and I know you were looking at him too.

I guess it was time to stop denying everything. Andi and Buffy clearly cared a lot about this, so I decided to come clean.

Me: Okay, I'm gay and I really like him.

Andi: Thank you for telling us.

Buffy: Oh please, you think I'm surprised? You were practically drooling over him.

Me: Well-- I-- No-- What?-- Is it hot in here? *blushing*.

The girls laughed lightly and hugged me tightly. It was nice to feel like I could tell the truth and not hide.

At that point, Jonah joined us and suddenly I felt my nerves return once more. Ugh, why did he have to be so cute... I mean, nevermind.

Jonah: It was good to meet you Cyrus.

Me: Y-yeah, you too Jonah.

Jonah: Do you wanna hang out?

Me: I'd lo-- I mean, I'd like that.

Jonah: Docious Magocious!

Me: When though?

Jonah: How about right now? If that's okay with Andi and um...

Cyrus: She's called Buffy.

Jonah: Nice to meet you Buffy.

Buffy: You too, and it's fine with me if you wanna go and hang.

Andi: Same here.

I was so grateful to my girls, knowing that they were supporting me. I gave them big hugs before I left.

Me: Thank you, see you later!

Buffy: Bye Cyrus!

Andi: Bye Jonah!

As I waved, the term "bi Jonah" kept going through my mind. I liked the sound of that, but I wouldn't allow myself to think it could be true.

Jonah: So, what do you want to do?

Me: Do you maybe wanna come over to my house, for a sleepover?

Jonah: I'd like that. Let me just call my parents.

I waited almost nervously whilst Jonah called his family. I was worried they might say no, but he smiled and I saw the dimples that I loved.

Cyrus: So, are you coming?

Jonah: Yes, they said that was okay.

I walked with Jonah to my house, and I was in a sense of disbelief. I had only talked to him once, and now we were friends. Not only that, but he's sleeping over at mine.

Part 2 will be out soon.
