Cyrus sat on his bed unfolding the piece of paper that was tucked in the envelope. Then he began to read the letter.

Dear Cyrus,
I'm sorry. Today at the spoon when we saw each other and it made you upset I couldn't help but blame myself for all of this. You are my favorite person in the whole universe. You are one of the only people who manages to put a smile on my face everyday. It's been a rough few days without you. Without your touch. I know that sounds weird, but you know what I mean. I miss you. I lost you all because I was stupid enough to read the note you specifically told me not to read. And then I responded in the stupidest way possible. It just caught me by surprise and I didn't know how to react. But I shouldn't have read it in the first place and I'm sorry. I know you're mad and you may not wanna forgive me, which I totally understand but I just want you to know that I like you too. I don't care if we just met because I think I'm even in love with you. And I really hope that I didn't lose you.
Love or hate,
Tj

Cyrus read the letter twice. Each time his heart would speed up and tears filled his eyes. He didn't wanna lose this. He didn't wanna lose him. Cyrus fumbled around his bed for his phone. Finally when he found it he went to Tj's name. He paused before texting Tj.

Cyrus💚: meet me at the swings.
Tj💘: ok.

Cyrus wanted to talk in person. He wanted to fix things in person. And in all honesty he just wanted to see and talk to Tj.

Cyrus quickly got up and made his way to the swings. He made it there before Tj did. As he waited he just sat on the swing. As more and more time went by he thought Tj wasn't going to show.

But then he looked up from the ground to see the tall blonde boy standing at the edge of the swingset.

"You came." Cyrus softly smiled.

"Of course I came." Tj said in a soft tone. (that parallel was lowkey unintentional)

"I'm so sorry, Tj." Cyrus stood up from the swing.

"It's ok. I'm sorry too. It's all my fault I shouldn't have read the letter." Tj took a few steps closer to Cyrus.

"You really shouldn't have, but you did and there's nothing we can do about it." Cyrus shrugged. "But I shouldn't have said the things I said so we both messed up."

"Yeah. We did." Tj lightly laughed and then went serious again as he looked at Cyrus. Then he reached out and grabbed Cyrus' hand resulting in a glow. He looked at it smiling. "I really missed that."

"Me too." Cyrus looked down at their hands and then lifted his eyes to look at Tj. "I really missed you."

"I missed you too." Tj said taking another step forward so him and Cyrus were only inches apart. "I can't believe I almost lost you."

"You could never lose me, Tj. No matter how mad I got." Cyrus smiled softly. They both began to lean in but then Cyrus felt a raindrop on his arm.

"Oh no it's gonna start raining again. We should probably get to shelter." He laughed. Tj laughed too.

"Why? I love the rain." Tj smiled. Cyrus raised his eyebrows.

"But it's so depressing." Then the rain started to fall harder.

"It's romantic." Tj smirked.

"How so?"

"Because then," Tj removed the light jacket he had been wearing," I can give you this." He smiled and held it out for Cyrus to put on. Cyrus did so and lightly blushed.

"Really though, we are gonna get sick." Cyrus laughed. Tj nodded and grabbed Cyrus' hand. They walked back to Cyrus' house and stood on his front porch.

"So are we good?" Tj asked.

"I don't think that's how you ask." Cyrus lowered his eyebrows. Tj was confused.

"Ask what?"

"That's not how you ask someone to be your boyfriend."

"Oh is that what Im asking?"

"I mean only if you want to...do you want to?"

"I don't know..."

Cyrus' smile lowered to a frown. He sighed. He thought that him and Tj were perfect but apparently not...well...

Tj grabbed both of Cyrus' hands. "Cyrus Goodman will you be my boyfriend?" Tj smiled. Cyrus lightly chuckled

"Yes. Of course!" Cyrus smiled really big. They hugged tightly for a good while. When they pulled away and gazed into each others eyes.

They began to lean in and almost kissed when loud thunder rumbled. They both jumped, mostly Cyrus. Tj grabbed Cyrus' arms. "I got you." He smiled and then he leaned in kissing Cyrus. A soft light shined around their bodies. They were finally together. They really were soulmates.
