Below The Radar

Unveiling

It's been way too long, y'all probably thought that there was not ever going to be another chapter coming. Surprise, surprise I'm done writing as some of you know, I've just lost interest, and besides I'm no good at it. Anyways constantly updating these stories just added unneeded stress, and I'm glad to be done with them. For that I'm making this one the final chapter. Peace my dudes who stuck with me till the end.

~•~ Recap ~•~

Jonah and Marty started to date as like a joke, but soon fell in love with each other, meanwhile Cyrus finds a boyfriend. Additionally Amber and Andi go out, and together with Jonah and Marty they pretend to date as straight couples, however they soon learn that is not what they want. Libby agrees to go out on a date with TJ. Andi & Amber will pretend like they're not dating because of Amber's parent, and the tight strained relationship that they already have. Someone found out about Jonah & Marty leading to Jonah having a panic attack, but luckily Cyrus was there to help him out.

~•~

"So he has panic attacks?" Marty asked Cyrus.

"Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't tell you that already," Cyrus responded. "Then again it's not like its his favorite story to tell." That was the thing with Jonah, he felt shameful for having his anxiety, and he would never mention it to anyone. But when it showed, all the witnesses just knew. From the petrified eyes, wonky posture, shaky breath, to the sweat building up on his body.

"Anyways I guess I'm like a natural at helping him through them, but you're his boyfriend, so you'll probably help calm him down faster." Cyrus thought for a bit before speaking while Marty stood there nodding along taking in all the information. "I don't really do anything besides make him sit down and drink water while I tell him that it's going to be alright and that I'm here with him."

"Kay, so can I like hold onto him though?" Marty asked.

"That one is tricky. You need to ask if he's okay with being touched first, with everyone he has because they vary. Also if he can't even muster out a response then don't even attempt to, it can just frighten him more, even when he sees it coming."

"That's strange, but okay thanks Cyrus."
"No problem," Cyrus said ending their little chit chat.

Much later there came a time when Marty was alone with Jonah again in bed. The lights were out, and the door was shut while they snuggled underneath the blankets. "Jonah I'm sorry for going so fast with our relationship, and putting a foot out the closet door."

"It's fine, I'm okay now, because I got you," Jonah said nuzzling up on Marty's shoulder. "Speaking of which you don't have to baby me, if I have to wait any longer to come out it'll just make it harder." Jonah then quieted down to a whisper. "Maybe I'll get scared and need a little assistance, but I can count on you that, so everything will work out just fine."

"It most certainly will," Marty said kissing his head. "I'll always be here for you. Even when you don't love yourself, remember that I still love you."

"Thanks, but speaking of all this, I actually got a surprise for you and everyone tomorrow. Ready to come out with me?"

The idea thrilled Marty, but fear sank in from the reaction. Any negative ones could trigger Jonah to have a panic attack. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

"Same," Jonah whispered back sleepily. "Love you Marty."

"Do I even have to say it, you already know I love you?" Marty asked.

"Yeah."
"Fine, love you too soon to be publicly open boyfriend." They both fell asleep that night with smiles on their faces at the delightful idea of being open with their relationship.

School was here, and it was time for Jonah's surprise. He had his guitar ready to go in the cafeteria as some kids crowded around at the surrounding tables. Jonah kept a close eye on Marty who soothed him. Once everyone was seated the room fell silent, as Jonah cleared his throat. "This song goes out to someone very special. It's called Below The Radar."

"Oooh, a new song," Buffy chimed nudging her friends.

"Quiet, Jonah's singing," Cyrus snapped back.

Jonah started to strum his guitar before his voice joined in to sing bittersweet words. "No one knows who we are, we've been flying below the radar. - With each passing moment, something's not right. - It's not in my brain, I feel it come from deep within. - I know the truth, these feelings don't lie. - I'm not proud of who I am, but here I am, before you I stand. - My heart beats from my head to my feet, but it's all for the wrong reason. - Or so I thought, was it not? - There came a time, when I met someone, they made it feel alright. - They gave me the might, to sing up here tonight. - N' in the crowd, they're smiling proud. - N' all I wanna do is shout their name out loud. - We've been hiding for so long. - Turns out nothing was wrong. - We've been afraid of the radar detecting us. - Turns out it's been preventing us. - From letting the truth out. - But now it's coming out. - Nothing's gonna stop us now. - My heart beats for a reason, some might say it's treason. - No amount of hate is gonna stop our fate. - I've been through enough, I said that's it I'm done now. - I'm gonna tell you what, cuz I won't back down. - I'll be on my way, and it all begins today. - So babe, why don't yah join me on stage."

Marty was in awe of his lyrical words that told a story of their lives. Encouraged by his friends Marty stood up while others looked, and he slowly walked up towards the stage while Jonah finished singing.

"Let's not have a delay. - I said it begins this very day. - As this song comes to an end. -There's just one more thing I need to say. - He's not like the rest, yet I love him the best." With that the song was over, and Jonah stopped playing the guitar and sat it down while Marty stood awkwardly to the side of the stage while the audience cheered.

"Guys I'd like you meet my boyfriend!" Jonah announced walking over and motioning Marty up on stage with him. Marty's hand was grabbed by Jonah's and under the spotlights his lips were met by the musician's and the world felt alright no longer being below the radar.
