Chapter Six: Overnight  - PART TWO

Note: This chapter picks up right where the last one ended.

Word Count: 3317

Once inside the apartment again TJ says he’s going to order dinner - with the side Cooper picked as Cyrus happily let him have the perks of their win - and TJ tells the twins to try and not annoy Cyrus too much whilst he’s busy.

Whilst TJ remains in the kitchen on the phone, Cyrus hangs out with the twins, or more accurately they hang around him, the way younger siblings usually do with their older siblings friends. Cyrus didn’t have much experience with younger siblings as he was an only child an all but the gruelling no rules basketball game had bonded them all for life, or so he joked about it the next time he hung out with Amber.

They all sat in TJ’s and Cooper’s room. Cyrus felt awkward for a moment and asks what they usually do for fun. Cooper keeps quiet but Katie isn’t shy with sharing how she likes to play dress up.

“I don’t know if I make a convincing princess,” Cyrus chuckles and Katie giggles too, “I think after my efforts on the court I’m more of a basketball superstar,” and that addition made Cooper laugh.

“Oh you don’t believe me?” Cyrus coaxes his head in Cooper’s direction. He then reaches for one of TJ’s hoodies that laid in a heap of washing on the floor and holds it up against himself. Cyrus does a playful imitation of TJ - to communicate how much of a basketball guy he now was - and this causes both the twins to giggle. Cyrus quickly realises this was a worn jumper and jokingly comments that their mom was right and TJ smelt awful thus turning the twins giggles into a full on laughter eruption.

“I hear laughing, stop having fun without me!” TJ’s voice echoes from down the hall as he approaches.

Without thinking much of it, Cyrus decides to keep the joke going and throws TJ’s sweatshirt over himself to properly wear it.

Once TJ finally reenters the room he too erupts in laughter at Cyrus’ goofy pose with a basketball pinned under his arm for effect.

“Are you making fun of me, Cyrus?” TJ asks jokingly through his laughs.

“Pfft. This is the new me.” Cyrus exaggerates his cool boy pose more and everyone was very giggly which made it harder for Cyrus to compose himself.

“Where’s your bag?” TJ asks.

“By the bunk, why?” Cyrus questions.

“If you get to be basketball guy I want to be underdog.” TJ finds Cyrus’ overnight bag and helps himself to it.

“Okay.” Cyrus agrees.

“I need something Cyrus-y, like your hoodie with the penguins on it.” TJ rummages through the bag.

“I got a shirt in there for tomorrow with little sloths on it.” Cyrus mumbles nervously and suddenly he was worried TJ might think he’s a dork.

“Perfect.” TJ exclaims as he pulls out the navy printed shirt. He proceeds to try button it over his t-shirt with great difficulty.

“If you really want to be Cyrus-y put on the cardigan.” Cyrus instructs and TJ does so without hesitation and even that was more fitted on the taller boy than it should be.

“Perfect fit.” TJ jokes with a laugh as he touches the distressed looking buttons down the front of the shirt.

“We can’t all have noodle limbs.” Cyrus flaps the extra length of the hoodies sleeve over his hand.

“Hey!” TJ looks offended.

“I’m like an octopus.” Cyrus adds with a chuckle and TJ drops his offence to laugh along with him.

“This is hilarious,” TJ smiles, “Let’s get a picture.”

Cyrus agrees and the boys take a silly photoshoot with the help of Katie whilst Cooper sits by and watches. Although, Cyrus did manage to get Cooper to participate in one group photo.

“Amazing.” TJ says as he looks at one of the silly snapshots of the two of them on his phone screen. “Are you cool if I post this?”

Cyrus knits his brows for a moment, being silly was one thing but posting it for everyone to see was another. A year ago Cyrus wouldn’t have thought twice about posting something like that but ever since Jonah said that thing about being dorky with matching jackets Cyrus had become a little more self aware with how he presents himself.

“If you want.” Cyrus shrugs.

“I don’t have to.” TJ frowns as he noticed Cyrus’ mood change.

"You don’t think it’s kinda dorky?” Cyrus questions nervously.

“So what if it is?” TJ shrugs casually. “It’s hilarious.”

Cyrus deflects from how anxious this conversation made him feel and joked about TJ needing to shower to his face.

TJ pretends to be offended but quickly agrees. “Fine, fine, I’m going to shower. Everyone can get in their pyjamas but Coop you can set up the living room for a movie and Katie you get some napkins for dinner first.” TJ instructs, “Pizza will be here in twenty!” 

TJ leaves to shower and Katie and Cooper leave to complete the tasks TJ set for them whilst Cyrus changes into his pyjamas. What to wear for his first sleepover in a long while was part of the reason he took two hours to come over, he was stressing over the perfect decision. Eventually Cyrus settled on some simple black and grey stripped bottoms paired with his favourite t-shirt to sleep in, it’s a vintage Jurrassic Park shirt that Andi found in a thrift shop once and bought for Cyrus as a gift and he’s treasured it ever since.

“Hey cool shirt,” TJ says as he renters the room after his shower and it spooks Cyrus.

“Wow that was quick,” Cyrus laughs off his embarrassment over being jumpy. Cyrus stops for a second and looks at TJ in a comfy pair of sweats and a t-shirt, his hair is damp and deflated from its usual gelled status to lightly wavy tousles that TJ swoops back with his hand. He looked so cosy Cyrus thought.

“Have you seen a contact lens container anywhere?” TJ asks.

Cyrus shakes his head no although he hadn’t really been looking around the room in TJ’s absence.

“I bet Katie’s hidden it somewhere.” TJ lets out a sigh. 

“Wait,” Cyrus holds a hand up in the air, “You’re telling me you’ve been vision impaired this whole afternoon?” 

TJ is unsure why Cyrus is being weird about this. 

“You’re telling me you managed to make those baskets without your glasses or contacts in?” Cyrus asks dramatically. “Suddenly my efforts today on the court feel a whole lot less impressive...” 

TJ shakes his head with a laugh, “If I put on my glasses are you going to start teasing me?” 

Cyrus holds a hand to his chest with a dramatic gasp, “I would never!”

TJ sluggishly picks up the glasses from his desk and puts them on. Cyrus chews on his bottom lip to hide a smile.

“You’re being weird.” TJ groans and folds his arms.

“I am not!” Cyrus says defensively.

“You are.” TJ pouts.

“It’s just the glasses and the curly hair,” Cyrus coaxes his head, “It’s like I don’t know you at all.” 

“You’re making me insecure,” TJ exaggerates a sheepish expression.

“I like them!” Cyrus says genuinely. “If I were you I’d wear them out in public.” 

This time TJ really was sheepish after Cyrus’ compliment. 

“I forgot to ask you about your day earlier, did you have fun with the guys from the team?” Cyrus questions. “I’m honestly surprised you were finished with them so quickly considering you haven’t seen them all summer.”

TJ shrugs nonchalantly. “I don’t know if I really like them all that much anymore.”

“Why?” Cyrus knits his brows, these three guys were supposed to be TJ’s closest buddies so the statement confused him.

“I was just hanging out with them this morning and realised we find different things funny.”

“They like knock knock jokes but you prefer puns?” Cyrus jokes. 

TJ gives Cyrus an unamused look even though he was slightly amused. 

“You ever act different around certain people sometimes?” TJ asks more seriously.

The memory of when Cyrus thought Jonah called him girly comes to mind and how he tried to be more of a ‘dude’. Cyrus nods and TJ continues, “Maybe I don’t like who I am when I’m around them.” 

Something about that came off as very mature to Cyrus, for TJ to recognise if certain company made him feel like a bad person and to be able to admit that and want to cut ties. “I like who you are when we hang out.” Cyrus says honestly with a smile. 

Again TJ doesn’t know how to accept the kind comment and he shifts awkwardly in place, “Quit tricking me into talking about my feelings all the time.” TJ forces out a laugh and exits the room.

“It’s the four shrink parents,” Cyrus chuckles as he follows TJ out, “People open up to me.” 

Shortly after the pizza arrives and the four settle in the living room for dinner. They watch a kid friendly movie before TJ tells the twins it’s time to go to bed. They protest a little but eventually TJ manages to get the younglings out of the room, he follows just to make sure they actually went to bed.

Once he returns, TJ exhales loudly as he flops down on the sofa beside Cyrus.

“They’re in bed finally.” TJ says, “Sorry they’ve been hanging around all afternoon.”

“I don’t mind.” Cyrus says genuinely, “They actually make me wish I wasn’t an only child.”

“Take the twerps on full-time and you might change your mind.” TJ jokes.

"You’re really good with them. They're lucky to have a big brother like you.” Cyrus says softly and TJ laughs the compliment off nervously. 

“What about you?” TJ pushes the attention to Cyrus, “You managed to get Coop to warm up to you in a couple of hours and he doesn’t really warm to anyone.”

“Funny, Buffy said a similar thing to me when I tried to explain to her that we were friends.” Cyrus says with a slight smirk.

“Ha ha.” TJ speaks his laugh. “I mean because Coop’s really shy, even when it’s just me and Katie he prefers to sit on the sidelines. You getting him involved today is a pretty big deal.”

Cyrus shrugs casually “It was nothing, once I convinced him you’d let us win, he was on board.”

“I didn’t let you win this time-“

“This time.” Cyrus’ smile is knowing.

TJ shakes his head with an eye roll, “You abused the limits of no rules basketball.”

“You’re just a sore loser.” Cyrus accuses. “Now we just need Andi to beat you and you’ll have lost to the whole good hair crew.” 

“Calling yourself the good hair crew, now that’s dorky.” TJ laughs. 

If that came from anyone else it might have hurt Cyrus’ feelings but coming from TJ, Cyrus knew it was only lighthearted teasing so he was able to laugh along with him. 

“You’re just jealous you’re not a member.” Cyrus retorts. 

“Heartbroken.” TJ jokes. 

“If you wore your hair like this more we might be open to consider you for admission.” Cyrus motions to TJ’s wavy hair. 

“And what’s wrong with how I usually wear my hair?” TJ asks defensively and it makes Cyrus chuckle.

“Nothing at all.” Cyrus says.

TJ humorously turns up his nose, “I don’t want to be in the group.”

“What? You’re rejecting the good hair crew?” Cyrus plays offended.

“I’m going to start my own club instead.” TJ shrugs a single shoulder casually.

“I wanna be in the club,” Cyrus exaggerates a whine and settles with a begging pout.

“I don’t know, I’ll have to think about it.” TJ taps his index finger against his chin a few times. “What if my club is the bad hair crew, you sure you’re eligible?” 

“It might be really hard but I’m sure I can try to adapt.” Cyrus ruffles his hair jokingly.

Their laughs mesh together in one happy mess. Once the chuckles settle, TJ explains that they’ll be hanging out in the living room tonight since Katie and Coop were sleeping in the bunk in his room. TJ explains that the sofa has a pull out bed but since they were planning on staying up all night hey wouldn’t need to set it up.

“Good plan in theory,” Cyrus bops his head, “One small detail I think I should share with you…” 

“And that is?” TJ raises a brow. 

“I happen to fall asleep on the sofa almost every night when I watch television with my parents.” In fact just a couple days ago he had passed out before Amber went home during one of their dinner and movie nights.

“Well good thing I’m here to keep you awake.” TJ grins. “I’ll just hit ya if you look like you’re dosing off.” TJ gives Cyrus a playful shove and Cyrus retaliates with a weak shove of his own. 

TJ pretends to be hurt by Cyrus’ shove and they two laugh together. 

“Want to watch a scary movie?” TJ asks after the room falls quiet.

“Not particularly.” Cyrus frets. “I don’t know why that’s on my list, I hate scary movies and have little interest actually watching one.”

“I thought you might not be excited about that task so I thought of a loophole.” TJ says proudly.

“Do tell?” Cyrus is intrigued.

“Well your list said ‘watch a scary movie’.” TJ says, “So I think we should watch a scary movie.”

“Not seeing the loophole just yet..” Cyrus laughs.

“There’s this movie series called ‘Scary Movie’,” TJ explains, “There’s a bunch of them and they're just parodies of old scary movies.”

“So like comedies?” Cyrus questions. 

“Exactly.” TJ nods. 

“Is that cheating?” Cyrus asks. 

“I don’t think so.” TJ shakes his head, “But if you wanted to watch a real scary movie we can watch one I’ve seen before and I can warn you before scary parts come on?”  

“Let’s try the comedy first.” Cyrus laughs anxiously. 

TJ takes a moment to fix them some snacks and then the two turn off all the lights to set the ‘spooky’ mood for the movie. Cyrus was happy to learn that TJ was right, the movie was far more comedic than scary.

Once the comedy ends TJ somehow managed to convince Cyrus to watch the other movie option anyway. TJ kindly warns Cyrus before jump scares but that didn’t mean Cyrus was relaxed watching the film. He gripped onto the popcorn bowl so tightly it made his hands go red and even with the warnings, Cyrus still bopped in place with fright. At one point TJ forgot about a particular scare and Cyrus leaps out of his seat with a verbal squeal.

TJ fights the urge to laugh at Cyrus’ reaction whilst apologising for forgetting to warn him.

“You did that on purpose!” Cyrus accuses.

“I did not!” TJ looks offended.

A few moments later both the boys are spooked when Katie enters the room. Cyrus’ yelp had woken her and she came down a little frightened to see what was going on.

Cyrus apologises for making such a scene and TJ sweetly and effortlessly lifts up his younger sister to take her back to bed after assuring her everything was alright.

Cyrus remains in the dark living room with the movie on pause. Anxiously he sits alone with scary thoughts about monsters lingering in the dark on his mind as he waits for TJ’s return.

A couple minutes later TJ slinks back into the room seemingly without a care on his mind.

“That was the bravest thing I’ve ever done.” Cyrus says with an exhale.

“Sit in my living room?” TJ laughs with a confused face.

“Alone.” Cyrus says seriously. “Whilst horror movie scenarios are fresh in my mind.” He motions towards the paused movie.

“I’m sorry,” TJ fights a chuckle, “Next time I have to take my scared little sister back to bed you can come with me so you’re not alone.”

Cyrus knew TJ was teasing but he still says, “Thank you. I’d appreciate that.”

This makes TJ laugh softly and he sits back on the sofa beside Cyrus. TJ mirrors Cyrus’ position with his back against the opposite arm rest and his legs tucked up against himself.

“Is Katie alright?” Cyrus asks, “Sorry I woke her.”

Don’t worry about it.” TJ swats the air, “She wakes up in the middle of the night a lot anyway, especially when mom’s working overnights.”

“Do you babysit them a lot?” Cyrus asks.  

“I guess.” TJ shrugs sheepishly, “Mom makes me keep my pay check for myself whilst she pays for everything like basketball and now my new tutor.. So I don’t mind helping out with the twins when she picks up extra shifts.”

“And your dad?” Cyrus asks cautiously.

TJ ruffles his fingers through his hair for a second and settles with a slight shrug, “Last I heard he moved to New York somewhere.. but that was over two years ago so who knows what he’s doing these days.”

Cyrus’ expression falls and he instantly regrets prying as it was to feed his own curiosity whilst not really regarding TJ’s feelings, “I’m sorry,” Cyrus says sincerely.

“Don’t be,” TJ plays it off casually, “I figure there’s not point in wasting my energy over a guy who left me with nothing but his name.”

Cyrus struggled to find something comforting to say although he really wanted to. Cyrus’ parents divorce happened when he was quite young and they had him on an intense readjustment regime considering their professions.

“I never thought you looked like much of a Thomas either,” Cyrus says with a small smile and the soft expression it elicits from TJ suggests that was exactly the right thing to say. The two fall quiet and a soft and smiley moment passes before TJ finally speaks up. 

“Do you want to finish the movie now?” TJ asks. 

“Can’t we watch something not so scary?” Cyrus is hopeful.

“We could watch Jurassic Park.” TJ motions to Cyrus’ shirt, “I’ve never seen the originals before, just the reboots.” 

Cyrus gasps, “It’s settled, put it on!” 

The two settle comfortably into the sofa to watch the first Jurassic Park movie, Cyrus loosens up very quickly as his love for this movie washed away any lingering fears the scary movie had left him with. 

It was part of the way through the second movie that Cyrus began to feel himself getting tired but surely enough TJ was there to keep him awake. 

During the third Jurassic Park film Cyrus felt his eyes grow extremely heavy. By now it was close to 3am and he realised he hadn’t been paying much attention to the movie at all and he hadn’t heard from TJ in a while. 

Cyrus picks his head up from where it rested against his closed fist and looks to TJ whom is curled into the opposite arm of the sofa.

“TJ?” Cyrus whispers and the taller boy doesn’t stir. “Teej?” Cyrus gently grabs and shakes TJ’s legs which are tucked up beside him on the sofa. 

TJ snaps his head towards Cyrus in surprise, “Huh?” 

“You can’t fall asleep.” Cyrus mumbles unenthusiastically. 

“I wasn’t.” TJ says and he takes his glasses off his face and rubs his eyes. 

“Good,” Cyrus matches TJ’s lethargic volume, “Because we’re supposed to stay up.. all..” Cyrus sleepily struggles to finish his sentence as he rests his head back against his arm on the sofas arm rest. 

“Have I ever let you down, underdog?” TJ yawns. 

Cyrus shakes his head no as the words were too much effort to affirm out loud. 

Then almost immediately - and despite their best efforts - they both drift off to sleep.

[Next Chapter]

End Notes: Can I just say that making Cyrus afraid of scary movies worked for the plot of this chapter but I reckon that he’s actually a scary movie buff. He was hooked on Buffy’s snake tale in whichever episode it was where he questions the facts hahah. Anyway! Thanks for reading friends.
