Chapter 11: No Sleep

That night Cyrus couldn't sleep because of the movie he had watched with Tj earlier. So he laid in his bed staring at his ceiling listening to music, with his lamp on of course. He sighed.

He thought about earlier. Him and Tj almost kissed. Almost. But then Tj turned away. Cyrus understood if Tj didn't want to, but it still kinda hurt Cyrus' feelings. He wanted so bad to kiss Tj.

I mean why wouldn't he wanna kiss that adorable boy? His perfect green eyes and not to mention he had the softest smile in the world that just made Cyrus' heart melt. shoot. Cyrus liked Tj. It was confirmed. He had a crush on Tj.

Cyrus' heart sped up. It scared him. Having a crush on a boy who didn't even know if he liked boys. But the book. The book! It said they were soulmates.

But what if the book was wrong...Cyrus didn't want to think that. So he didn't.

Cyrus sighed. Then he picked up his phone and went to Tj's messages. He bit his lip and he then just did it. He texted Tj.

Cyrus💚: hey, you up?

Cyrus tapped his thumb on the side of his phone. Then he looked at Tj's name. "Tj💡." He sighed and changed it.

Tj💘: yeah i am...but why are you?
Cyrus💚: i can't sleep.
Tj💘: cause of the movie?
Cyrus💚: yeah...
Tj💘: i'm rlly sorry. i feel so bad.
Cyrus💚: it's okay tj. 
Tj💘: wanna ft? i'm too lazy to type.
Cyrus💚: i guess.

Cyrus phone started buzzing with an incoming facetime call. He quickly fixed his hair. Then he answered to see the boy he adored so much. The screen lit up his face.

His dirty blonde hair a mess but it was adorable. He had glasses on.

"You wear glasses?" Cyrus lightly chuckled.

"Yeah. I know, they make me look ugly." Tj sighed.

"No their cute!" Cyrus said. Did he just call Tj cute? Tj kinda smiled.

"Thanks." Tj said running his fingers through his hair. "You should really get some sleep Cy." Tj added.

"I can't. Every time I close my eyes I'm scared that something's gonna jump out at me!" Cyrus said. Tj laughed. "It's not funny!" Cyrus defended himself.

"You're right it's not, sorry. But you'll be fine."

"I have a feeling you just don't wanna facetime me."

"No no. Of course I do. I just don't want you to fall asleep in math tomorrow." Tj laughed and Cyrus laughed along with him.

"I'll try not to." Cyrus yawned. Then they continued having small conversations and as they talked each of them got more tired as it reached 1 a.m.

Cyrus lightly closed his eyes not expecting to fall asleep, but that's exactly what happened.

"So do you....Cyrus?" Tj said. He looked at the boy on his phone screen. Cyrus looked so peaceful and...cute. Tj softly smiled and let out a soft, "Goodnight. Sweet dreams." Before clicking the red hang up button. Tj went to sleep with a smile on his face.

Cyrus walked into math the next day late. He handed his late pass to the teacher and quickly sat in his seat next to Tj. Tj sat up straight because he had his head down before.

"Hey, did you miss your alarm?" Tj laughed.

"Yes, actually." Cyrus smiled and got out his work. Then he looked at the board quickly copying the notes.

Tj looked at Cyrus all focused. Cyrus stuck out his tongue slightly because he was so focused. Tj smiled and shook his head as he went back to his work.

The bell rung dismissing them from math. Cyrus put his books away and picked up his book bag. He looked at Tj. Tj's head was down and his eyes were closed.

Cyrus laughed and shook Tj, the touch glowing. Tj quickly sat up. He looked at his work which he had drooled on.

"We both need to get a lot more sleep." Cyrus laughed. Tj put his things away and then stood up and nodded. They walked out of class.

Later at lunch Cyrus sat with his usual friends. Andi, Buffy and Jonah.

"Where were you all weekend?" Buffy asked laughing.

"Yeah you like disappeared from the face of the earth." Andi added.

"I was with Tj." Cyrus sat down.

"Tj?" Andi raised her eyebrows. Cyrus nodded. Then a thought popped into Buffy's mind.

"why'd you ask me if your hands were glowing the other day? Do you like him!?" Buffy questioned.

"No! I didn't even ask that...you must be crazy." Cyrus laughed.

"mhm." Buffy smirked. Cyrus rolled his eyes which landed on Tj. He was sitting at a table with his friends. Something seemed...off. All of his friends were laughing up a storm, but Tj wasn't. He was just sitting on his phone.

Cyrus pulled out his phone and decided to text Tj.

Cyrus💚: hey stranger.
Tj💘:  hey.
Cyrus💚: you don't seem to be having fun over there.

Cyrus looked up to see Tj scanning the room. Their eyes locked and Tj smiled. Cyrus smiled back.

Tj💘: i didn't know you were in my lunch.
Cyrus💚: surprise I am!
Tj💘: lol...we should so ditch and go find somewhere to sleep.
Tj💘: shoot that sounded weird.

Cyrus laughed and looked up at his phone and over at Tj. They looked at each other and laughed. Buffy looked at Cyrus and looked where he was looking.

"Having fun Cyrus?" Buffy asked looking at him. Cyrus looked at her. Then the bell rang. Cyrus got up and started to walk over to Tj when Buffy grabbed his wrist and pulled him.

"We have to get to science." She raised her eyebrows. Cyrus nodded and followed her.
