Cyrus P.O.V

Cyrus took a deep breath and Tj squeezed his hand for comfort and support. "So, we're, by we I mean Tj and I, are dating." He looked at his parents, waiting for a reaction. All four of them were there. His step dad was a little homophobic but not terribly. Cyrus would never admit it but he was his least favorite parent, though he still liked the guy; he just preferred the other three over him. 

"Thank you for telling us, boys." Cyrus's mom said. Cyrus let go of a breath he didn't know he had been holding in. "We will always be here for you Cyrus." His dad added. "We also support you, the both of you and we will always be here to talk to you." His step mom chimed in. "Thank you for trusting us boys." His step dad said. "That was so sweet! How about some brownies to celebrate?" His step mom said. "Rebecca, Cyrus can't have gluten." His mom said with some pettiness. "They are gluten free Karen." Cyrus looked at Tj with a look of relief. Tj gave him a happy smile.  "So, that wasn't bad." Cyrus said with hope. "Tomorrow night is my family." Cyrus could tell the idea made Tj nervous. "It's okay we'll do it together." Cyrus didn't understand why it made Tj nervous until the next day.

Tj's P.O.V

Tj looked around the table, Cyrus was holding his hand under the table. Cole, Tj's eight year old brother was sitting next to him on his right. Tj's dad sat at the head of the table and Amber and Grandma were opposite Tj and Cyrus, and his mom sat at the other head. They were all talking among themselves or eating. Tj gave Cyrus's hand a squeeze and took a deep breath. "Um, everyone I have an announcement to make." Tj got everyone's attention. Amber's mouth dropped and food spilled out. "Child, please." Grandma gave her napkin. "Um, so Cyrus and I are gay for each other and dating; deal with it." The room held it's breath. Then everyone started talking. "Marry mother of God Lord help us all! The boy is a homosexual." Grandma said. "That's fantastic Tj!" His dad yelled. "I knew you were gay or bi when you were in the womb! I told your mother, I told her, 'This boys middle name is going to be Freddie after the best bisexual to live!' And damn it was I right? I was!" 

"You see Christina," Grandma leaned toward his mom "this is what you get when you marry a week man like Chester." Cole leaned across to Amber. "What's being gay?" He asked. "It means you want to kiss people who are the same gender as you. Boys who like boys, girls who like girls." Amber explained. "Oh there's a word for it? I thought everyone was gay." 

"Cole mom and dad are different genders. Mom is a girl dad is a boy." She said. "Dad is a dude?!" Amber face palmed. "Mom this is what happens when people love each other. Besides don't act like it's something un-holy the most un-God like thing at this table is your mouth." Tj's mom said. "I can't believe you would say something so rude to me." Grandma said shocked. 

As the table continued to talk and argue they drifted further and further away from the topic of Cyrus's and Tj's relationship. Tj nodded toward the stairs and the two of them snuck up stairs and down the hallway into Tj's room. 

His room was small; it was painted a grayish blue and had some pictures and posters on the wall. When you first walked into the room the twin bed was on the left and some shelf's to the right. Tj kept a clock on his wall so he wouldn't have to check the time on his phone all the time; the only bad thing about the clock was how loud it ticked all the time. He had two windows in his room, both accompanied by black out curtains. One was right next to his bed so he could look out at the the neighborhood whenever he wanted and the other one was on the wall that the head board was on.  His desk was in the corner opposite his bed and his dresser was a few feet from his bed. 

"I don't know what I expected from your family but it wasn't anything like the thing that just happened." Tj put his head on Cyrus's shoulder and rapped his arms around Cyrus. "Oh, hey Jagger it'll be okay, and if it wont I'll be here." Cyrus comforted his boyfriend in a soft whisper. 

Tj let go of Cyrus and sat on his bed and Cyrus sat down next to him. "Do you just want to... exist for now?" Cyrus imposed. "Cyrus, existing with you is all I've ever wanted." So the boys laid down and existed together.

AN: I do not know who to credit for the drawing. It doesn't fit the stories aesthetic but it fits this chapter and that's why I have it. Plus it's extremely well done.
