Feelings Like These - Tyrus

Will He, Will He Not?

TJ POV-

   Why did I run away like that I ask myself, Cyrus just told me his deepest secret and I ran away like an asshole. He probably thinks I hate him or that I'm homophobic. But I don't I told Buffy I liked him but I wasn't expecting him to actually be dare I say it but gay. I didn't know the boy I liked would be gay. Here I am in my room passing back and forth with my phone open with my text messages open and typing and retyping a message to send to Cyrus for the past hour. I'm pretty sure Amber is annoyed by now from me making noises in my room. She's just trying to spend time with Andi. Wait maybe I can talk to Andi about this . We aren't that close but I'm pretty sure she knows Cyrus's secret that he told me yesterday, right? But what if she doesn't.

   Andi I ask and I knock on Ambers door. Should I get the door as I hear Andi say to Amber. Coming TJ one second o hear Andi say in a louder tone. What's up? It's Cyrus I think he food hate me. After I said those words they looked at me with fear or anger in their faces. What did you do little bro Amber says. H-he told me something yesterday and all o did was run away and I haven't heard anything from him. Did you text him? Um no? Well come on in TJ what is it that he told you so maybe we can help you. As I sit down on Ambers bed I see a picture in a frame of Amber snd Cyrus. When did that photo happen I asked. Andi picked it up and handed it to me. It was a few weeks ago when the three of us went to that new frozen yogurt place I took the photo Andi said happy. It's a good photo you look happy and so does he, completely opposite of his face as I walked away from him yesterday.

   Are you ready to tell us what happen my sister told me with a confused look. He told me something that I didn't know, that I didn't let him explain before I left. What did he say? Andi asked. If I tell you please don't tell anyone because I don't know who knows or doesn't know. Promise the girls say as each one of the grab my hands. He's gay... I have nothing wrong with it I just don't know what to think about it. Why did he tell me of all people? TJ, he told you because he cares about and that he trusts you as his friend to help him. We all know you care about him even if you don't show it. You have helped him become the person he is now and your his best friend. Andi says with a smile on her face. I can't imagine my life without him now I saw with a smile but I don't know how to talk to him about this after running away like a dick. Be there for him that's all you have to do. So I'm guessing I'm the only one who didn't know about his secret. I say with a smile. Yeah pretty much the girls say with a little laugh. Go talk to him tell him how you feel about it. I should go find him shouldn't I. Yes now go TJ we want to finish our movie Amber said as she's pushing me out of her room. Bye dork she's yells as she shuts the door.

Cyrus POV-
 
  I wondered why he just left like that without and explaining or telling him how I feel about him. I had the courage to tell him how I feel but at the same time I thought I didn't. I did what I wanted to do for the most part and that was coming out to him. But telling him that I like him after he ran off like that I don't feel like I should tell him. I hear a knock at the front door expecting it to be Buffy. TJ what are you doing here? I said supposed to see him also happy as well. Hey Underdog I think I should give you an apology. For what? Leaving after you telling me your secret and running away, it was a sick move that I made. He smiled at me with his beautiful brown eyes that melt my heart, how could I hate him when I am in love with him. I would never tell Cyrus that because I don't know how to even get the courage to come out to him. Want to come in and sit maybe we can talk about it I say, I got chocolate chocolate chip muffins. Yeah sure I'd like that thanks Cyrus.

   I'm not mad at you for leaving I was just lost confused because I thought you would treat me differently after I told you. I thought I was right and that's why I didn't call of text to ask of you were okay. That's why I didn't text or call you because I thought you hated me for leaving I hear TJ say. Cyrus I care about you so much and I would never hate your for telling me this it make me a hypocrite to hate someone in the lbgtq community when you are closeted yourself. I heard TJ say those words and it took me back I didn't know what to say or do I was in shock and I can tell TJ was too. He looked scared that he just told me that I'm not alone. TJ did you just... I was cut off by him. Felt like the right time to say that I'm in the back of the closet the way back. I smile at TJ thanks for coming out to me TJ . He then smiles and mumbles that's not all Underdog. Who else knows that you are gay or bi or.. Buffy I told her a few days ago and I think Andi and Amber suspect it. What's the other thing Teej? I might like someone. I lift up my head and say me too Kippen me too. Calling me Kippen aren't we Goodman. I shrug and say yeah it's what we do Kippen. The other things is that I like you Cyrus I don't know how long but I realized how much last night after you cane out to me . And I was hoping to go on a date with you some time? I wouldn't say no TJ I'd love too.  But one more thing can we keep it between us for a while he asked with a pleading look. All I coils do was shake my head yes and realize I'm going on a date with TJ Kippen the Not So Scary Basketball Guy.
