Below The Radar

The Odds?

Oh wow, I'm exhausted and I can't keep my eyes open. I spent all night editing Andi Mack photos. Most of them were just Jonah with a purple theme including the galaxy, hearts and shit ton of the color purple.

~•~ Recap ~•~

Jonah & Marty along with Cyrus & Lucas are out to each other along with Andi & Buffy. Andi tries to tell Bowie that Amber has changed, but he tells her that she's the one who has changed.

In his room TJ was learning. No it was not for school, nor was it for his job, but it was for love. On his laptop he had a video tutorial of common phrases and how to sign them in American Sign Language (ASL). He replayed the video a few times trying to get down things like greetings, introductions, and farewells.

After that he shut his lead and tried to recall of them by practicing on his own. It was turning out to not be as easy as he initially thought it would be. Making all these words and expressions with some gestures slightly differing from the others was hard work. Eventually TJ got down to his true intention. He found a website that showed how one would ask another out on a date in ASL.

Following along with the short reading and the gifs showing the gestures, TJ got it all done. Now what he hoped was that he would not forget it all overnight. That would just be horrible. Despite his lingering feelings for Amber, all this work of learning had really taken his mind off of her. Now it was all filled with Libby and sign language. As he laid on his bed he realized he doesn't know hardly anything about Libby. So in his head he just repeated the one thing he did know. Her name. As he shut his eyes he focused on the other thing he knew. Her physical form as she sat under the willow tree reading a book.

One fateful evening had come. School was over, and so was the school week. The calendar read Friday, yet it felt like it was week ahead. Just last weekend Cyrus and Lucas had baked the coming out cake. Now it was Lucas' time. "You know you don't have to come out just because I did to my parents," Cyrus reminded his boyfriend.

"Yeah I know, but I want to," he replied back smiling. "We both know how it feels having a clueless family, I hope that it doesn't take them by too big of surprise."

"If it does it'll be a good surprise," Cyrus told him reassuringly. "It was hard enough for me to do, and I didn't even say anything verbally," Cyrus said. "Anyways just thinking about how it'll go down with your parents is giving me bad anxiety."

"Awe, do you wanna snuggle?" Lucas asked.

"Yes, I love the idea, but the problem is I don't exactly know how. You've gotta keep in mind that you are my first boyfriend."

"Well do you want to snuggle me, or have me snuggle you?" Lucas asked as Cyrus looked up and down his body.

"I guess I want you to snuggle me," Cyrus admitted. "Also we've used that word so many times it sounds weird now. Snuggle."

"Well get in bed," Lucas said pointing to his bed as he turned on his bedside lamp.

"What about the guest bed? Am I not meant to be laying there?" Cyrus asked confused.

"We can't do any snuggling if we are in separate beds," Lucas pointed out as he turned slid the light dimmer down all the way until the lights went off leaving the room lit by the lamp.

"But what if your parents walk in?" Cyrus asked.

"They won't," Lucas reassured Cyrus as he climbed into the other side of the bed turning the lamp off. The black haired teen laid halfway between on his back and on his side facing Cyrus. Cyrus was laying on his side facing Lucas. "Heh, well get over here," Lucas soothingly whispered.
