He's My Jonah - A Jyrus Story (COMPLETED)

Chapter 4

Jonah sat in shock at Cyrus' admission. He looked at his friend, and saw how terrified Cyrus was, which made Jonah concerned.

Jonah: You've fallen for me?

Cyrus: Y-yes! I have!

Jonah: How long have you felt like this Cyrus?

Cyrus: Since we were 13. I found you fascinating, and you were always very nice to me.

Jonah: You mean, unlike other people, you like me because of who I am, rather than what I look like?

Cyrus was surprised to hear Jonah speak this way, almost as if he lacked the inner self confidence that everyone believed he had.

Cyrus: Jonah, I always like people for who they are on the inside. The fact that you are the most handsome person in the world is a bonus.

Jonah: You're very sweet.

Cyrus: But I will say that recently, I have noticed what your body looks like more.

Jonah: Really?

Cyrus: Yes, do you remember the other day when you were walking across the beach?

Jonah: I do, but what does that have to do with this?

Cyrus: You only had your swim shorts on, I noticed your six pack, your arms, your hands, your fingers, and then I noticed your legs, your feet, your toes and your broad shoulders.

Jonah: Taking in all the details then?

Cyrus: Yes, and I'll admit I drooled a bit as I watched... But I was still drawn to one thing, and that was when you said hi to me and you smiled.

Jonah: So you do like the way I look?

Cyrus: But I like you more for your bubbly personality.

As they paused, Jonah started to relax again, but looked completely puzzled. He was going bright red, and his hands were shaking. To Cyrus, seeing Jonah's vulnerability made him more  human.

Jonah: I... I've not felt this way before

Cyrus: What are you saying?

Jonah: I look back at everything and see that, all of this time, I was convinced Amber was my soulmate, despite everything she does.

Cyrus: That explains why you gave her all those chances.

Jonah: And I wasted so much time trying to make her happy, without knowing that she didn't make me happy.

Cyrus: She was always good at taking advantage of you.

Jonah: I know, and in reality, I should've seen that my efforts should've gone into the relationship I have with you.

Cyrus couldn't help but allow a small smirk to appear on his face. He hadn't heard Jonah speak like this before, and he really liked it. He enjoyed listening to Jonah's voice regardless of what he said, but having this talk made it even better.

Cyrus: Just so I'm not getting the wrong idea hear. What exactly are you telling me?

Jonah: I'm saying that I've lived in denial, I never worked when I was dating girls. I was never truly myself.

Cyrus: Are you gay then?

Cyrus felt a little insensitive after he said that, remembering how hard he found it to come out, and also the fact Jonah hated labels.

Jonah: Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. And---.

Without thinking, Cyrus pushed his lips against Jonah's, allowing them to have a proper connection for the first time. Jonah didn't hesitate in kissing back, which told Cyrus that it was going to be okay. Upon pulling apart, Jonah smiled, and Cyrus blushed.

Cyrus: Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Jonah: Well, I'm not going to complain.

Cyrus: I know you hate labels, so instead of asking the traditional question, I'll ask a different one.

Jonah: Which would be?

Cyrus: Will you be my Jonah?

Jonah: Only if you will be my Cyrus!

Cyrus: I will always be your Cyrus.

Jonah: And I will always be your Jonah.

They stared at each other with dreamy eyes for several seconds, allowing the world to fade to insignificance.

Cyrus: It's been along day, I'm heading to bed.

Jonah: Okay, I'll go---.

Cyrus: No, you're coming with me, I want to snuggle.

Jonah: Aww! Okay then.

Cyrus grabbed Jonah's hand and they went up to his bedroom. They quickly got changed, deciding to sleep in just their underwear. Cyrus got into bed, and moved over to make room for Jonah, who followed.

Under the covers, Cyrus leaned against Jonah and curled up into a ball, with Jonah wrapping his arms lovingly around him. Cyrus enjoyed the skin contact he had with his boyfriend, and was starting to fall asleep.

Jonah: Goodnight baby Cyrus, I love you.

Cyrus: I love you too Papa Jonah, goodnight.

Jonah: Papa Jonah?

Cyrus: Well, it's a contrast to baby Cyrus.

Jonah said nothing, and gave his boyfriend a kiss on the forehead. It was at that point Jonah knew for sure that Cyrus was his soulmate.
