Following Cyrus' admission, Jonah tries to find out more before explaining how he feels about Cyrus. Told from a single POV.
Jonah POV
My heart stopped temporarily, as I allowed Cyrus' words to sink in. I never knew that he felt like that about me, but I felt the need to dig deeper into his thoughts.
Me: I... I'm not really sure what to say.
Cyrus: Oh no, I've made a mess of this, sorry I'll just...
Cyrus stood up in order to leave, but I gently grabbed his hand. I wasn't going to just let him go, for we had so much to discuss.
Me: Sit back down dude, I just want to talk.
Cyrus: Go on then, tell me how you don't like me back.
Me: Cy...
Cyrus: JoJo, I don't have the heart to listen to rejection.
Me: Will you just answer some questions for me first?
Cyrus: Ugh... fine.
I knew that this must've been difficult for him. That didn't stop me from asking the questions, as I felt I should know the answers.
Me: How long?
Cyrus: How long what?
Me: How long have you felt this way about me?
Cyrus: It first occurred when Andi first introduced you to me. I was completely smitten.
Me: What took you so long?
Cyrus: It was hard, I felt like you would hate me and that you wouldn't feel the same way.
He started to cry again, but I wasn't about to let him suffer this time, not after he was rejected by TJ. It was time for more of the truth.
Me: Cyrus, look at me.
Cyrus: I don't know if I can Jonah.
Me: I would never hate you, how on earth could I? You have always been there for me, and I appreciate it.
Cyrus: But how do you---.
I knew what he was going to ask, but I decided to answer before he could finish. I pulled him close and connected our lips. He didn't fight it, and melted into the kiss. I broke it off, as I needed to take a breath.
Me: Does that answer your question?
Cyrus: Oh yeah, so what do you say? Will you go out with me?
Me: I just kissed you, so yes, I will!
There was a knock at the front door, and when I answered it I was met by Andi and Buffy. They looked very concerned.
Me: Hi girls, what's up?
Andi: We saw that Cyrus came back to you.
Buffy: We wanted to know how he was.
Me: Follow me.
I took the girls up to my room where Cyrus was still sat on my bed. When they entered, they saw his smile and the relief on their faces was a picture.
Buffy: You okay?
Cyrus: I am now.
Andi: Why so happy all of a sudden?
Cyrus: Shall I tell them?
Me: Please do.
Buffy: Tell us what?
Andi: What's going on?
Cyrus: Jonah and I are going out.
We didn't have to wait very long to get a reaction. They smiled, and then they gave us both a big hug.
Andi: It's about time.
Buffy: What took you so long?
Me: I was stupidly denying how I felt.
Cyrus: But it's all good now.
All of it had made us feel complete, with a strong sense of belonging. I couldn't believe I almost lost Cyrus to TJ, but fortunately, that didn't happen.
Thank you so much for reading.
