Chapter 19: Hold My Hand

About a week later things between Cyrus and Tj were great. They were happy. Well things between them didn't seem quite right to Cyrus. When they were alone Tj would hold his hand, but when they were in public he wouldn't.

Cyrus just wanted to be able to show off his boyfriend to the world, but it was obviously not what Tj wanted. Tj was still a bit insecure about liking a guy. Cyrus was okay with it as long as they were together.

On a warm Saturday afternoon Tj and Cyrus were walking to the spoon to meet up with their friends. As they walked their hands would brush together and glow. Cyrus wanted so badly to hold Tj's hand. He looked down at their hands.

"Can I hold your hand?" Cyrus asked. Tj looked at Cyrus.

"Um..."

"Teej, why-"

"I just don't want people to-"

"Tj!! They aren't going to say anything. Why does it matter anyway? As long as we are happy that's all that matters." Cyrus pouted.

"Can you just let me have some time?" Tj sighed.

"Fine. Can we at least tell Buffy, Andi, Jonah and Amber? I hate keeping this a secret and it would help to tell at least somebody." Cyrus begged. Tj looked at him with a firm face. "Whatever." Cyrus mumbled as they reached the spoon.

Tj held the door open for Cyrus. They walked in and sat with Buffy and Andi.

"Hey!" Buffy said excitedly.

"Hey..." Cyrus replied with a quiet voice. He was still upset with Tj. Tj looked at the sadness on Cyrus' face. Then Amber walked over.

"Hey guys. What can I get you?" Amber smiled note pad in hand.

"Can you sit for a second?" Tj asked. They all looked at him. Amber turned her head at the kitchen then back and nodded sitting down.

"Is something going on?" Amber asked worried.

"Me and Cyrus have something we wanna tell you guys..." Tj began. Cyrus lifted his head and made a confused face.

"We do?" He asked. Tj raised his eyebrows and then Cyrus understood. A big smile grew on his face. "We do!"

"Cyrus and I are dating." Tj smiled.

"I knew it! See Andi I told you! They didn't just make up from their fight, they obviously started dating." Amber laughed. Cyrus and Tj looked at each other and then back at her.

"Sorry....I'm so happy for you guys."

"I am too." Buffy added.

"So am I." Andi smiled.

"Omg does this mean we can go on double dates!?" Amber lit up full of joy.

"Wow I feel included." Buffy laughed.

"Triple dates. You and Marty can come." Amber smirked.

"No way. No triple dates." Tj said firmly.

"Why?? Don't be a party pooper." Amber pouted. Tj rolled his eyes. Then Jonah walked in.

"Hey guys what'd I miss?" He smiled. They all looked each other and laughed.

Amber sat on her bed facetiming Andi.

"I mean you should've seen his face he-" Amber looked up from her phone to see Cyrus in her doorway. He looked upset. "Hey Andi I have to go. I'll call you in a bit. I love you." She smiled at her phone.

"Ok byeee. Love you too!!" Andi's voice said. Then she hit the red hang up button.

"What did he do?" Amber asked. Cyrus sat on her bed.

"Nothing...well it's just...ugh...he never wants to hold my hand or anything in public but when we are alone it's perfectly fine. I mean he didn't even want to tell you guys we were dating." Cyrus sighed.

"Listen, Cyrus, he's confusing, I know. I've lived with him my whole life, but if you wanna hold his hand in public just do it." Amber shrugged.

"But what if he like pulls his hand away or something."

"He won't. He's a jerk but not that much of a jerk. Plus he loves you." Amber smiled.

"Wait he's never told me that...Well except in the letter but never in words!!!" Cyrus started freaking out.

"Cyrus relax. He loves you. Just give him time. This is all new for him." Amber comforted Cyrus.

"Ok...Fine but-"

"Hey Am- Cyrus? I thought you were leaving?" Tj walked into Ambers room.

"Uh yeah. I just uh..."

"I had a question about Andi. And he answered it. Thank you Cy." Amber smiled. Cyrus nodded and got up.

"Well...Bye." Then Cyrus rushed out. Tj watched him then he looked at Amber.

"Ok then."
