Chapter 10: Horror Movie

The boys sat on Tj's bed. "I'm scared Cyrus. My whole life I was just automatically programmed to think I liked girls. And then I met you and everything happened and I'm questioning everything I thought I knew about myself and I just don't know what to do." Tj let out without barely taking a breathe.

"It'll be ok Tj." Cyrus tried comforting Tj.

"I sure hope so."

"And you weren't programmed to think you liked girls. Sadly everyone just assumes that you're straight until you tell them otherwise. It is ok to like boys." Cyrus sighed and smiled. Tj nodded and looked over at Cyrus. They stared at each other.

"Remember yesterday when I said we shouldn't worry about what we are. I think we failed." Cyrus laughed. Tj laughed with him.

Tj slowly moved his hand on top of Cyrus'. Cyrus looked down at their hands slightly mesmerized by the glow. Then he looked at Tj.

Then the door flung open. Amber was standing there. Tj pulled his hand away quickly. Cyrus looked at Tj and then at Amber.

"Cyrus!" She yelled and ran over to Cyrus. Cyrus was confused. Then he grabbed his hand and pulled him into the hallway.

"What?" Cyrus looked at Amber super confused.

"Andi invited me to hang out with her at Andi Shack! She wants to make me a bracelet." Amber said in a panic.

"That's weird. She only lets certain people go to Andi Shack....but what's wrong with that?" Cyrus raised his eyebrows. Amber sighed.

"What if I mess things up?" Amber said looking down. Cyrus gave her a confused look. "It's obviously a big deal for her to invite me there! What if I mess things up between me and her? I do not want that."

"Amber you'll be fine. It's not that big of a deal. Just don't break anything in Andi Shack and you'll be fine." Cyrus laughed. Amber scowled and rolled her eyes stomping away.

"It's not a big deal." Amber mockingly mumbled under her breathe before slamming her door. Then she quickly opened it smirking.

"You and Tj are so cute by the way." Then she gently shut the door. Cyrus laughed and went back into Tj's room.

"She so likes Andi." Tj laughed. Cyrus nodded. "She always talks about her." Tj smiled and then looked at Cyrus.

"Andi talks about her too." Cyrus nodded as he sat next to Tj.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Tj asked. Cyrus nodded. Tj stood up and made his way out of the room and to the living room as Cyrus followed.

They both sat on the couch. They were a few inches apart. Tj grabbed the remote and began scrolling through the movie options.

"So what do you wanna watch?" Tj turned his head to Cyrus. Cyrus shrugged lightly. Tj held out the remote and Cyrus took it turning his head to the TV screen as he began scrolling through the movies.

Tj kept his eyes on Cyrus admiring him. "I have no clue." Cyrus chuckled and then looked over at Tj who had already been looking at him. He kinda flushed red because he didn't realize Tj had been looking at him.

"Do you like horror movies?" Tj smirked slightly as he grabbed the remote. Cyrus snatched remote back.

"No! No horror movies!" Cyrus quickly yelled. Tj laughed.

"Chill, Cyrus. Come on, nothing bad will happen." Tj raised his eyebrows and soft smile laid upon his lips. Cyrus gave in to that smile that he had adored so much.

"Ok fine. But if I want to turn it off I can." Cyrus handed the remote to Tj. Tj picked a random horror movie.

As they watched some how they ended up right next to each other, so close their arms were touching, letting off a soft light. In the movie they were watching there were a lot of jump scares. Cyrus kept on ducking his head into Tj's shoulder to look away. Each time Tj would let out a soft chuckle.

Cyrus let out a scream as another jump scare occurred and fumbled for the remote on the other side of Tj, quickly pausing the movie. Cyrus tilted his head back bringing his hands up to his eyes.

"Are you okay?" Tj asked reaching for Cyrus' arms and removing his hands from his eyes. Cyrus had tears in his eyes.

"Was it that scary?" Tj looked at the screen then back at Cyrus.

"Yes!" Cyrus shouted.

"I'm sorry." Tj hugged Cyrus tightly. Cyrus hugged him back. A ring of light surrounding them.

"Its ok." Cyrus' voice muffled. They both pulled away from the hug. Tj placed his hand on Cyrus cheek, wiping away a tear. They gazed into each others eyes ignoring the light. Both of them began to lean in and when their lips were just about to touch Tj turned away.

Cyrus sighed and backed away looking at the clock. "I should get going." Cyrus said standing up. Tj nodded and stood up with him. Cyrus looked at Tj. "Bye." He smiled. Tj smiled and let out a soft, "Bye."

Cyrus walked out of the living room and ran upstairs to grab his bag. Then he made his way back downstairs and walked out the front door. Tj plopped back down on the couch and sighed.
