Tyrus One-Shots

Beautiful Feeing

Snow dripped off of the roof of Jefferson Middle School. The more snow that fell on top, the more that fell over to the ground, even onto some students walking in and out of the school. TJ got more snow on him than anyone because he stood outside in front of the few steps leading up to the front door. He held a single envelope with the letter "C" on the front. Even though he is standing in freezing weather, his big goofy grin and excitement kept him warm, and he is also wearing his thickest hoodie in his collection.

He could stand out here waiting for eternity because he kind of figured Cyrus would accept his invitation. His parents trusted him and his sister enough to leave them home alone for Christmas as they went on a business conference. It was Amber's idea to throw a party and to plan it, and TJ is responsible for the invite list. The very first person the crossed his mind was Cyrus, of he would be because how could he forget his best friend in the entire world. TJ decorated all the invitations, but he made sure to have Cyrus' be extra special. He had already passed out everyone else's, saving the best for last.

His grin turned into a full-blown open-mouthed smile when he saw Cyrus coming around the corner. He ran to meet him and stuck out the envelope, which was accepted by the other boy.
Cyrus opened the envelope and removed the letter. He read over it as the two finally walked into the school and traveled to their lockers. "A Christmas party?"

"Yeah. My parents are out of town for the weekend and Amber and I wanted to throw a little party with our friends." TJ explained as he watched Cyrus remove books from his locker and replace them with his bag. TJ caught on to how over excited he was acting but didn't care if Cyrus noticed because he was pretty sure he would accept the invitation. "So, do you wanna come?"

"You know I'm Jewish, right?" Asked Cyrus as the two started their walk to the cafeteria for breakfast. "You came to my Bar Mitzva and helped me open a bottle of cider."

TJ's smile began to slowly fade away as he completely forgot about his friend's religion. All his confidence disappeared as if Thanos snapped his fingers. Now he is starting to worry if he just tampered with his friendship by not even remembering something as important as this. Does he lie and say he forgot, or tell the truth.

"Actually, I forgot." Admitted TJ, even though he was still worrying about how Cyrus would react. "I was just caught up in the excitement of the party that I kind of forgot and wanted all my close friends to come. Are you mad?"

Cyrus chuckled a little. He adored the look a disappointment on his face as it made TJ look cuter than he normally does, and it makes it impossible to be upset with him. "Nah, it's all good. I like reminding people that I'm Jewish because they often tend to forget because I don't like to make a huge spectacle of it. Besides, I love Christmas parties."

With that reassurance, TJ regained his smile and made a mental note to never forget that Cyrus is Jewish. "So, I'll take that as a yes to the invite."

"Of course. Who all is coming anyway?"

TJ reached over the counter and grabbed two muffins from the tray and handed on of the chocolate chocolate chip muffins to Cyrus. "Just a few people, I wanted it to be small. Andi, Buffy, Jonah, Marty, and Gus."

"Why Gus and Marty?" Asked a confused Cyrus. "I have never seen you interact with Gus, and I thought you didn't like Marty."

"It's my one act of kindness for Christmas. I feel bad for Gus. He is always alone and I can tell he wants friends, so I figured that inviting him would raise his confidence and increase his sociability. And he can brag that I invited him to a party, which would attract more people thinking he was semi cool by hanging out with me. As for Marty, I feel bad for not allowing him to be on the team. I hope this would make things alright, if not then him making the team will. I'm planning on inviting him to join next semester. Also he's Buffy's boyfriend, if I didn't invite him, I'm pretty sure she would have."
