Jyrus Oneshots - Part II (COMPLETED)

The Prom (Jyrus)

Jonah wants to go to the prom, but he finds that nobody can go with him. Told from a single POV.

Jonah POV

This was going to be the worst night of my life. I knew that my friends were going to the prom, and that they'd probably all have dates. I'm not angry at them or anything, I just wish that I wasn't alone.

Every girl that I wanted to ask had already got a date, which meant that I felt really isolated. Was it even worth me going to the prom? At that point, I didn't think it was.

I went to the prom anyway, and I spotted Andi and Buffy, with Walker and Marty, who were their dates. I wasn't sure what to do.

Andi: Hey!

Buffy: You okay?

Me: I'm fine, just here on my own, that's all.

Walker: No need to be sad, you can hang out with us!

Marty: We don't have to be individual dates, we can be a group!

Me: As much as that sounds great, shouldn't there be an even number of people?

Andi: Don't worry about that. We're waiting for someone.

Buffy: Maybe you can hang out with them?

Me: Who is she?

Andi: Well, HE is coming over now!

I turned around and saw my best friend Cyrus Goodman walking towards us. I was surprised that he didn't have a date either.

Buffy: You made it!

Cyrus: Did you think I would miss it?

Andi: We thought as no one asked you, you may pass on coming along.

Me: No-one asked you Cyrus ? Are they insane?

The girls and their dates looked at me and chuckled lightly. I was beginning to think I was saying the wrong thing, when Cyrus responded to me.

Cyrus: I guess I'm not popular.

Me: That's not true. And I didn't get asked by anyone either.

Cyrus: I don't understand, surely someone must've wanted to come with you Jonah?

Me: Clearly not.

Cyrus: Ah well, at least we get to hang out with our friends.

Looking away from Cyrus momentarily, I saw the others give me encouraging looks. When I didn't do anything, they decided to go and dance, leaving me alone with Cyrus.

Cyrus: They all seem so happy don't they?

Me: Yes, they're all great together.

Cyrus: Do we have to be alone during this?

I stared at Cyrus with intrigue, wanting to know what he meant by that question. He looked slightly nervous.

Me: Well, we can try and find people to dance with if you---.

Cyrus: N-no! I meant... can we be each other's prom date?

I found it difficult to understand what Cyrus had asked. I allowed myself to gaze at him and I saw someone who actually wanted to be with me.

Me: You want to be my date, Cyrus?

Cyrus: Yes Jonah, more than anything.

Me: Come on then, let's go and dance!

Cyrus: Okay!

I grabbed Cyrus' hand and we joined the others. We wrapped our arms around each other and simply swayed gently to the music. I felt Cyrus rest his head on my shoulder and this prompted me to do the same to him.

I closed my eyes and I really enjoyed the feeling of being close to him. I pulled away slowly and looked into his eyes.

Me: Um... I'm new to this, but...

Cyrus: But what?

I gently leaned in and connected our lips. The music went silent and the background faded rapidly as I saw that Cyrus really was the only one I cared about. Moving apart, I looked to our friends who all smiled. I knew at that moment everything was going to be okay.
