The Power of Touch//Tyrus AU

Chapter 12: False Thoughts

At the end of the day Cyrus was at his locker. He had plans to meet his friends at the spoon after school.

"Hey." Tj smiled as he walked up to the side of Cyrus' locker. Cyrus' face lit up.

"Hey!" Cyrus said as he shut his locker.

"Can you help me with the math since I kinda fell asleep?" Tj raised his eyebrows. Cyrus laughed and nodded.

"Sure. I'm going to the spoon right now to hang out with my friends, but maybe after." They began to walk side by side.

"Ok that sounds good." They walked out the front doors. Cyrus saw his friends waiting.

"Ok I'll be at your house at 4!" Cyrus said as he smiled and walked away. He walked over to his friends.

"Hey." He said as he joined the group and they began walking.

"Cj....no..." Buffy mumbled.

"Tyrus!" Andi yelled. Cyrus looked at her confused. Then he put it together.

"Shut up!! I do not like him! And he's practically the straightest guy at Jefferson." Cyrus said even though he knew that he did like Tj.

"Totally." Buffy smirked. Cyrus sighed. They arrived at the spoon and hung out just talking.

"So do you guys want another round of baby taters?" Buffy asked. Cyrus nodded and looked down at his phone. It was 4:01.

"Actually I have to go." Cyrus stood up.

"Where?" Andi asked.

"Um...Home. My mom uh...needs me home." Cyrus nodded and quickly walked out. Buffy and Andi looked at each other confused.

Cyrus rushed over to Tj's house and knocked on the door. Tj answered after a few seconds.

"Sorry I'm late. I lost track of time and-"

"It's fine." Tj interrupted.

"ok." Cyrus smiled and walked in. Tj shut the door and started to head to his room as Cyrus followed. They ran into Amber.

"Cyrus! Just the person I wanted to see!" Amber said excitedly.

"No Amber. He's here to hang out with me." Tj said.

"I'll only be a few minutes." Amber smiled pulled Cyrus to her room. Cyrus looked back and mouthed the word sorry. Amber shut the door and sat on her bed.

"So yesterday at Andi shack me and Andi kinda had a moment." Amber began.

"What do you mean?" Cyrus asked.

"So she made me a bracelet. When she was putting it on my wrist we kinda looked up at each other and made eye contact. We kinda stayed like that and I was going to kiss her and then I was like no way! I cant do that I-"

"Hold on. So you do like Andi?" Cyrus interrupted.

"Yes. But that's not the point! She kinda looked like she wanted to kiss me but then we both just kinda looked away." Amber made a pouty face.

"And you're telling me this why?" Cyrus asked.

"You're her best friend! Does she like girls?" Amber asked frantically.

"I mean I don't know. She never said anything about it." Cyrus shrugged.

"Can you find out?" Amber looked at Cyrus.

"Sure." Cyrus smiled.

"Okay...well I guess you can go back to my brother, thank you." Amber lightly smiled then the smile was over come by a look of sadness.

"Amber I'm sure Andi likes you. You should  hear how she talks about you." Cyrus laughed. Ambers jaw dropped.

"She talks about me!?" Amber stood up.

"Yep." Cyrus smiled.

"Omg omg." Amber smiled really big. Cyrus laughed.

"Ok bye now." Cyrus hurried out of her room and into Tj's shutting the door behind him. He looked at Tj. Tj looked at him with his eyebrows raised.

"I just exposed Andi, but besides the point. Time to do math." Cyrus smiled as he walked over and sat next to Tj on his bed. They both got out their math stuff and Cyrus handed Tj his notes to copy.

"Wait I don't get it...how do you factor that?" Tj asked pointing to a problem. Cyrus leaned toward Tj to look at the problem and explained it.

"Oh ok I-" Tj turned his head and their faces were only a few inches apart. "I understand now." He said softly as he looked down at Cyrus' lips. Cyrus heart was practically pounding out of his chest but he leaned away and looked down at his notebook.

Tj sighed and went back to copying the notes as an awkward silence sat over them.

Cyrus' mind was racing. Tj would never like him. Never in a million years! He thought that Tj had only almost kissed him because of the whole soulmate thing. That was the only reason Tj even wants to be his friend. Is because of that and not for who he really is. Cyrus always did this. He put thoughts into his own mind that weren't true.

"Um I have to go." Cyrus stood up.

"But-"

"I have to pick up my little brother-"

"You don't have a little brother..."

"You don't know me!!" Cyrus yelled as he grabbed his book bag and ran out. Tj quickly got up and ran after him.

"Cyrus wait!" Tj yelled. Cyrus stopped and turned around.

"What?" Cyrus raised his eyebrows. Tj held up Cyrus' notebook.

"Keep it. You need the notes anyway." Cyrus rolled his eyes and walked out of the house. Tj stood their for a minute thinking about what just happened. He ruined it. He ruined his friendship with Cyrus. If you could even call it that.

He knew something was different with Cyrus. He felt like he liked him but it had only been a few days since they really started talking. How could he already catch feelings for him? Plus he wasn't even sure if he liked boys.

I mean they were soulmates according to the book. Tj didn't know what to think.
