TJ had woke up due to the cold weather. His alarm had not rung yet. It was half past six,
which meant he was half an hour early from the time he usually wakes up.

As he decided to move, something, more like someone, made that decision impossible to be done. When he wondered the reason why, he realised
Cyrus was on top of him, sleeping. He glanced the boy with a soft smile on his face.

He tried not to move, as he did not want to wake the boy up. Cyrus was resting on him,
with his hand on TJ's chest. Anyone could could wonder, even TJ himself., how did he not start panicking.

Therefore, he ended up admiring the boy that was in his arms. Although, as soon as he tried
caress Cyrus' hair, he felt movement and in the end he faced a sleepy Cyrus.

"What time is it?" Cyrus asked, his voice haskily.
"It is past half past six. You still have almost half an hour. Go back to sleep and I will wake
you when the time is right."

Cyrus did not reply. He just simply nodded and returned to the position he was before.

[...]

"Dude are you serious? That was awesome." Reed said with enthusiasm while he made a
high five with Marty.

TJ was now at school. He woke Cyrus at seven o'clock as promised. The boys got dressed and decided to have breakfast with TJ's sister instead of going at the coffee shop they usually attend to.

Although, there was something going on with Cyrus, TJ could tell. He was more skeptical than usual, but, he did not bother ask. Most of the time Cyrus was zoning out as he was eating his food. His voice was only heared when TJ or his sister were asking him a question. He did not want to stress Cyrus up, he wanted to talk him by himself.

TJ smiled due to his friends' reaction. Marty was really hypped for the whole thing, he could tell. He is so glad he managed to come out to his friends. It was not easy, but, things now are better between them than before.

"So what is next on the list?" Marty asked, waiting for an answer from his friend.

TJ had a lot in mind, but could not decide which one he wanted to try with Cyrus first. Until-

Teej: Get some good midday sleep. Trust me on this one.

[...]

It was almost midnight and TJ was outside Cyrus' house. There were not any sounds, so he
assumed that everybody was sleeping. As he took a deep breath, he opened the door to his
truck and went out, trying to find which way was Cyrus' window.

As soon as he found it, TJ climbed the tree that was beside that and after a few seconds he
reached and knocked Cyrus' window gently.

It did not take much time for Cyrus to open his window with a surprised and amused, most
surprised, look on his face. He was wearing his PJs and a pair of glasses was on his face.

"Hey there Rapunzel." TJ greeted him with a smile.
"What are you doing here TJ this late?!" Cyrus asked the boy whispering-yelling.
"Come there princesse, we have to go." TJ's smile grew even wider.
"TJ, I am literally wearing my pijamas."
"Whose fault is that?"
"I did not know you were serious!"
"I told you, we are going on a small adventure. Now hurry up, we do not have much time." The
blond boy answered and immediately made his way down.

Cyrus sighed and grabbed a jacket making his was to the window, he knew TJ
would not accept no as an answer.

Once he made his way to the ground he followed TJ all the way to his truck, looking through his window for one last time.

As soon as he made his way inside, TJ gave life to the engineer and started driving.

"Where are we going?"
"Do you trust me?"
"I do." Cyrus really did trust TJ.
"That is all I want." TJ faced him with a smile.

It was peaceful the rest of the road, until Cyrus opened up the radio station. The two boys started humming the
lyrics from the song that was currently playing as they exchanged small looks with each other.

[...]

"Are we there yet?" Cyrus asked for the fifth time. TJ could tell the boy beside him was impatient. Someone else could find it annoying, Tj though found it attractive.

He pulled over and as he made his way out he said, "we are here" with a smile. Cyrus followed him, still not knowing what was going on.

"There is no way I am sitting on top of this!" the boy said as he saw his blond friend on top of his truck. TJ let out a smile giggle.

"It is safe, I promise you. I would never let something happen to you."

The duo eventually made their way on top of TJ's truck, after of conviction. The brunette boy was so confused for a real time but, as soon as Cyrus raised his head he was fascinated with what he was seeing.

The sky was clear, and millions of stars were getting above the big black sky with their little light.
Cyrus did not speak, he was focused at the sky. TJ, on the other hand, was focused at Cyrus. He really liked this boy.

"Do you like it?" he eventually broke the peaceful silence, after a few minutes.
Cyrus turned his head to face him with a big smile on his lips. "Like it? More like love it."

TJ's smile grew wide as he faced the dark sky. Cyrus started moving his hand on top of TJ's
slowly, as he started growing more and more nervous he might scare the boy beside him away. TJ smiled even wider due to that move. Cyrus eventually placed his head on top of TJ's shoulder and the two boys stayed like that for the rest of the night.
