Tyrus One-Shots

For All That I Am

Cyrus rushed into the school in search of one particular person. Even though it didn't matter when he reached them, it was important that they were the first person that Cyrus saw and told the news to. He was approached by Andi, but he ignored her and ran straight towards the gym. His heart pounding faster by the second due to his out of the ordinary speed that it wasn't used to. He feels like he's going to faint because his breathing kept getting harder and he was becoming more and more lightheaded. He knew he should've walked normally but he wanted to do this as soon as possible so that he wouldn't be over planning it and getting worked up.

He opened the doors of the gym to see the sight of a basketball going through the net and bouncing off the floor. He turned to his side and noticed TJ all excited and the other guys going over to him and congratulating him with high fives and chest bumps. The way TJ ran around the court was mesmerizing Cyrus. TJ's hair bouncing, his smile, and the sparkle in his eyes all reminded Cyrus why he had a crush on the jock.

Cyrus suddenly walked slowly towards his crush. This entire morning, he was overexcited to see him and invite him to his birthday, but now that he actually has to speak to him, he was more nervous than ever. He doesn't know why since he was able to do it last year, but he figures now he has the highest crush on the jock he might not be able to talk properly. He reached into his back pocket and held the invitation in his hand. He held it close to his chest so that he wouldn't let go of it accidentally.

TJ saw Cyrus coming closer and started smiling harder. "Hey, Underdog!"

"Not-So-Scary-Basketball Guy." Said Cyrus as he tried not to make a fool of himself. It was harder than he thought since he has such a weak spot for TJ's boyish charming smile. He froze in his spot as TJ approached him.

"What's that?" TJ asked while pointing to the envelope.

Cyrus, who was now unable to form any words, simply extended his arm to signify to TJ to take it. The older boy removed it from his hand. As he began to open the invitation, Cyrus prayed on the inside that he would accept and come. He shouldn't even doubt it because he came last year and the two since then have gotten really close and became best friends. However, there is always this doubtful side of himself that never seems to disappear, no matter how confident he is in something.

TJ opened the envelope and started reading the card that he pulled out. His smile got bigger with each line that he read. He placed the invitation in his pocket and placed a hand on Cyrus's shoulder. "Underdog, I would love to attend your birthday. Wouldn't miss it for the world."

Cyrus's smile grew three sizes and he was even more frozen in place than he was, this time it was because of excitement. It wasn't until TJ went into the locker room was when he unfroze ad bolted out of them gym. He had to go to class like right now, even though he wanted to stay in this spot to treasure this moment, but he didn't want to ruin his perfect record.

Upon entering the lunch room later on in the day, Cyrus noticed the line for the muffins was short enough for him to get one today. He stood in line and started to count how many muffins were available and how many students were in line. He even tried to see which muffins each student would pick, but the probable outcomes were too much for him to keep up with and decided he would be happy with any type. He then felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around and noticed both Andi and Buffy.

"Good morning to you, The Flash." Andi commented while she adjusted her headband.

Buffy smirked. "Andi told me that you were running like an Olympian to who knows where this morning. And then you ignored our texts, which only worried Andi even more."

Andi lighted nudged her friend. "Hey, you didn't need to say that last part."

"I kind of had to. You told me you were going to make some missing person posters because you were worried something happened to him."
