1:29am

🌌

Heart like yours played softly through their  phones.

It was 1:29am, and everyone in the GHC chat had gone off to bed, powering down their phones and hanging up on the group video chat.

All that is, except TJ and Cyrus.

The gang had been on call for hours, somehow never running out of things to say.

But now it was 1:29am, and Cyrus could barely keep his eyes open as he rested his head on his pillow, gently cupping his phone in his hands.

Through the phone, TJ hummed softly as he scrolled through the explore page of his phone, looking up ever so often to check the image of Cyrus on the top corner of his screen.

Snoring vibrated out of the speaker, startling TJ slightly as he looked back at the corner to see the top of Cyrus's curly hazelnut hair leaning towards the camera. His eyelashes laid delicately against his cheeks as he began to drift off into unconsciousness.

TJ let out a soft chuckle. Cyrus looked so peaceful, as if all of the worries of the day past had simply melted off his face and into oblivion.

At the sound of his friend's voice, the boy stirred from his slumber, lifting his groggy eyes up to meet TJ's.

"Oh crap! Did I wake you up? I'm so sorry muffin!" TJ exclaimed with worry.

"No no, don't worry, I needed to wake up to plug my phone in anyway" Cyrus giggled, reaching for the chord dangling from his nightstand.

"We really should, ya know, hang up and go to bed for real though, it is pretty late underdog."

"Do we have to? Can't we just...... stay on the line until one of us falls asleep and then the other one can end the call?"

TJ sighed in defeat, although he felt in no way bad about the thought of getting to see Cyrus at peace once more, if only for a minute. There was something so comforting for him to just be in Cyrus's presence. He felt at home whenever they were close.

"Alright, but only if I can keep playing music" TJ quipped, pausing the camera to cue up the last song of the night.

"As you wish" Cyrus whispered with a small smile slipping across his face.

The A Team began playing softly as the smaller boy closed his eyes and began to slow his breathing.

TJ hummed softly to himself, giving his full attention to the beauty in front of him.

Once he heard Cyrus's breathing become heavy and sparse once more, TJ went silent.

"Goodnight Cyrus, I love you" he whispered, just barely loud enough to be heard.

After settling down into the crease of his pillow and tugging his covers up to his chin, just as TJ was reaching his thumb towards the "end call" button, he heard it.

"I love you too Teej"

It was 1:29am and they loved each other.
