For @cam-cat-writer, from your secret santa! It’s a Hogwarts AU about how Cyrus met the ghc and TJ! This is the first time I’ve written in years so I’m sorry if its a little rough, but I had so much fun writing it!

“Uhh, Earth to Cyrus? Hellooo?”

“Huh?” Cyrus started, jolting out of his daydream.

“I said are you excited about this year?” Andi grinned, not even attempting to mask her glee. Then again, why should she? They were on the train headed to the one and only Hogwarts for the third time, and Andi was already loving the new sense of responsibility.

“Can you believe it’s been two years since we started here?” asked Buffy “It’s gone by so quickly!” She paused. “But it also feels like I’ve known you two for a lifetime.”

Cyrus smiled. “I know exactly what you mean. I can’t even remember not being friends with you guys.” It was true. These two girls had changed his life in every way, and he couldn’t even bare to think about how he would’ve handled Hogwarts without them...

*two years earlier*

I can’t do this! Cyrus thought to himself, as he watched yet another young wizard step up to the sorting hat. He felt his palms begin to sweat as he glanced over at all the people in the room - people who would all be staring at him once his name was called. What if he tripped? What if everyone laughed at him? What if his house didn’t like him? What if-

“Psst, what’s up with you?” An unfamiliar voice interrupted his thoughts as he felt a hand rest on his shoulder. He turned his head to see a curly-haired girl looking at him in confusion, although once their eyes met it quickly became concern. “Are you okay?” She whispered.

“I’m fine. More than fine! Well, unless you count being terrified as being not fine, in which case I am definitely not fine.” He felt the words tumble out of his mouth before he could stop them, and he soon became very aware of his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

The girl, however, didn’t seem annoyed by his word vomit. In fact, he saw a smile spread across her face. “So you’re scared, huh? So is every other first year in this room. And every other first year in the history of first years. It’s no big deal-” she was cut off by a nudge and a glare from the boy next to her, warning her to lower her voice. The girl just rolled her eyes and smiled at Cyrus. “See. I bet he’s pooping his pants right now.”

Now it was Cyrus’ turn to smile. “Thanks… that actually helped” he whispered. “I’m Cyrus, by the way.” He offered her his hand to shake.

“Nice to meet you, Cyrus, I’m-”

“Buffy Driscoll!” a voice from the front called out.

“That’s my cue! Wish me luck!” the girl grinned before striding up to the front.

“Slytherin!” the hat called out, quickly followed by loud cheering from her new house as she confidently approached their table. She glanced up at Cyrus and gave him a reassuring nod, just as another name was called.

Nice to meet you too, Buffy.

*present day*

“You know, as much as I am loyal to my house, I wish we all could’ve been put together.” Buffy sighed, twisting the green bracelet Andi had made for her as a symbol of their friendship. Cyrus glanced down at the yellow one wrapped around his wrist and smiled. “It would be nice to have you guys cheer me on in quidditch, you know?”

“As if we don’t already deafen everyone by shouting your name.” Cyrus noted, earning a smirk from both girls.

“I know, I know. But you also cheer when your houses win.”

“Uh, Buffy? Cyrus cheers when anyone wins. I don’t think he understands the game very well.” Andi giggled.

“Hey! I’m just trying to be encouraging!” Cyrus snapped playfully, “but you know I’ll always cheer the loudest for you, Buffy.”

“I know who you’d cheer for the second loudest.” Andi teased, smirking at Buffy as they shared a knowing glance. “And, funnily enough, he’s also in Slytherin.”

Cyrus felt his heart skip. Andi and Buffy had known about his crush on TJ Kippen since last year, and they had been wonderfully supportive - even throughout all of TJs antics. To them it was a simple unrequited crush. He had yet to tell them the whole truth...

*one year earlier*

“GO BUFFY! GO BUFFY!” Cyrus and Andi screamed as they watched their friend zoom past them. It was her first game and she was already amazing. At least, Cyrus thought so, although his quidditch knowledge was rather limited. Nevertheless he was incredibly proud of his best friend for making the team.

He watched in awe as Buffy effortlessly weaved past two Gryffindors and a bludger, keeping the quaffle safely in her grip. She was going to make it! She was going to-

The crowd gasped as another Slytherin knocked into Buffy. “What’s he doing? They’re on the same team, aren’t they?” Cyrus cried as he watched Buffy struggle with the other boy. Buffy had seemed to regain her balance by this point, and the other boy had backed off following the crowds displeasure. She scored and the crowd erupted into cheers, seemingly forgetting what they’d just witnessed.

“That was ridiculous,” Andi muttered, “That idiot nearly lost his own team 10 points!”

“Ridiculous…” Cyrus agreed half-heartedly, as his attention had been diverted to the culprit, who was now sulking while the rest of his team continued the game. Cyrus felt a pang in his stomach as he recognized the boys face. It was none other than his potions classmate, TJ Kippen…

***

“TJ!” Cyrus called upon seeing the chaser. The game had just finished after the Gryffindor seeker - Marty - had caught the snitch, and Cyrus had left his friends after quickly congratulating Buffy on a great game despite their loss.

It wasn’t like he was looking for TJ - more like aimlessly wandering with the hope of casually bumping into the boy who’d sabotaged his best friend. There was nothing wrong with that, right?

“TJ wait!” he tried again, this time earning a pause from the taller boy, allowing him to catch up.

“What do you want, Cyrus? Shouldn’t you be with Buffy?” TJ murmured. His distant attitude unfortunately didn’t surprise Cyrus, as he’d observed that TJ was one to push away those who were kindest to him. He made a mental note to ask the boy about it later.

“What happened out there? You looked like you were trying to intercept your own teammate.” He paused, wary of sounding too standoffish. “Is everything okay?”

“Why do you care?” TJ retorted, clearly not sharing the same concern as the Hufflepuff.

Cyrus paused. The truth was, he didn’t know why he cared. While TJ and him got on during potions, it wasn’t as though they were friends. Although, that wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world…

His reverie was cut short by a short ‘ahem’ from the Slytherin, who was apparently interested in Cyrus’s answer. “Well?”

“Because you’re a good player, and I doubt you’d sabotage your own team without good reason.”

“What good reason is there to sabotage my own team?”

“That’s what I’m asking you.”

TJ rolled his eyes, and for a moment Cyrus thought he was going to push him away. Then, much to the shorter boy’s surprise, he let out a defeated sigh. “It’s her first game and she’s already better than me. How is that fair?”

Cyrus watched as TJ’s eyes fell to the floor. He was ashamed, he could tell, and Cyrus felt for him. “So that’s why you tried to stop her? Because you were jealous?”

“I’m not proud of it Cyrus. I just heard everyone cheering for her - even the other houses! - and in the heat of the moment I snapped. I wish I could take it back but I can’t, so there’s really no need to dwell on it.”

“You’re right,” Cyrus smiled, “you can’t take it back. But you know what you can do?”

TJ glanced up at him, finally taking his eyes off the floor.

“You can apologize, TJ. To Buffy and to your team.”

Cyrus prepared himself for an argument, but there wasn’t one. TJ simply sighed, and under his breath muttered “I know.”

“Come on, TJ, rip the band aid. I’ll come with you to see Buffy right now if you want.”

TJ shook his head. “I should do it alone. She’ll probably think you orchestrated the whole thing if you come with me… which I suppose you kinda did, but she doesn’t need to know that.” He grinned, to which Cyrus couldn’t help but giggle at. There was something about the taller boys smile that made his heart flutter, but he couldn’t quite place why.

“Well, no time like the present,” TJ nodded, turning to walk away from him. He paused, and before Cyrus could process what was happening, he felt TJ quickly hug him. “Thanks Cyrus. I owe you” he muttered, before jogging out of the Hufflepuff’s sight.

TJ Kippen had hugged him. Did this mean they were friends? Relax Cyrus, it’s no big deal. You’re friends with TJ Kippen. It’s cool. It’s chill. But Cyrus was far from chill, as his heart seemed desperate to escape as it pounded in his chest. Baboom, baboom, baboom.

Oh. Oh.

*present day*

“So are you going to ask him out this year?” asked wildly, a smirk spreading across her face.

“Uh, Buffy, I don’t think TJ is gay” Andi cut in. “Doesn’t he have a girlfriend?”

Now it was Cyrus’s turn to smirk, although he remained silent.

“What? No he doesn’t.”

“But he’s always with that girl. You know, the pretty blonde one in Slytherin?”

“You mean Amber…? Amber Kippen? She’s his sister, Andi!” Buffy chortled.

“Oh! So she’s single then?” Andi joked, as the three of them erupted into laughter. Andi had had her fair share of relationship drama last year when she dated Gryffindor’s Jonah Beck for a while. Cyrus also kinda maybe had a little thing for Jonah in his first year, but his crush had since faded as he now viewed him as a friend.

Besides, now TJ was in the picture…

*one year ago*

Detention. Cyrus winced as he repeated the word once again in his mind, recalling the sinking feeling he felt when he realized just how much trouble he was in.

Cyrus didn’t get detentions - he’d always given his work 100 percent and never misbehaved - so why now was he sat next to TJ Kippen in complete silence, trying desperately to ignore Snape’s glare?

It wasn’t his fault - not really. He’d so been listening to TJ gush about quidditch that he stopped paying attention to the potion they were supposed to be brewing. Perhaps somewhere along the line he’d added too much moondew or not enough dragon’s blood. How was he supposed to know the potion he’d made would explode?

Yes. This was TJ’s fault. Stupid, adorable, distractive TJ.

“Mr Goodman.Would you take a look around my classroom? What do you see?”

Cyrus gulped.

“It’s a complete mess, professor.” TJ chimed in, seemingly sensing the smaller boys nerves.

“That is correct, Mr Kippen, though it would do to remain silent when you aren’t being spoken to.” He paused. “You are to clean this up, and aren’t to leave until this room is spotless. Understood?”

“Yes professor,” the boys said in unison.

“Good. Now, I have pressing matters to attend to.” Snape made his way towards the door. “Do not attempt to leave before you’ve completed your job, or there will be serious consequences…”

The boys remained silent until they were sure the footsteps had faded, then breathed a sigh of relief.

“You can relax, Cyrus. Snape’s all bark and no bite,” TJ smirked, sitting up on the desk.

“I’m not so sure about that…” Cyrus uttered. “I’ve never been in trouble before, TJ! What if this is the gateway to a life of crime and darkness and-”

“Woah, easy there! There’s a big jump between accidentally making the wrong potion and being a criminal.” TJ was laughing, but Cyrus didn’t feel mocked. In fact, the taller boy’s chuckle calmed his nerves.

“Wait, so you don’t think I could be a criminal?” Cyrus joked, hopping up onto the desk next to TJ. “Because I could be a master criminal if I wanted to. You’re lucky I chose the path of goodness in life.”

“Of course you could,” TJ giggled, “Why do you think we’re friends? It’s because I want to keep you on my good side.”

“Geez, I thought you were my friend because of my amazing brewing skills” he teased, glancing around the apocalypse of a classroom. “How on earth are we supposed to clean up this mess?”

“Easy. We use magic.”

“Snape specifically told us not to use magic, TJ.”

“Well he doesn’t have to know.”

“TJ.”

“Cyrus.”

They both paused, and Cyrus took this opportunity to flash TJ his cutest puppy eyes. “Pleeease don’t get us into anymore trouble.”

“Fiiiine. But only because you’re so cu-” Hm. Weird. He cut himself off.

“I’m so?”

“Annoying,” TJ teased, hopping of the desk. “Come on then, let’s do this your way.”

***

The boys had been tidying for all of five minutes before getting distracted. Again - totally TJ’s fault for being so adorable that Cyrus just had to throw a crumpled piece of paper at him. How could he have possibly predicted it would turn into a full on paper ball war?

“Alright, alright, you win!” Cyrus shrieked in defeat as TJ hurled what seemed like thousands towards him. He fell to the floor laughing as TJ plopped down next to him.

“You..have...paper,” TJ wheezed between giggles, “In your hair!” Cyrus felt his heart flutter as TJ’s hand swept the piece of paper out of his hair. He wanted nothing more than to grab his hand and just hold it in his own, but he knew TJ could never feel the same…

Or could he? Cyrus thought back to just a few moments prior, when TJ cut himself off before he could finish his sentence. What was he going to call him?

“You weren’t really going to say annoying, were you?” Cyrus asked, desperately trying to mask the shakiness of his voice and come across of nonchalant.

TJ inhaled sharply. “So he’s a master criminal and a detective…”

“Don’t expose all my secrets!” he grinned.

Exhale. “Do you want the truth?”

The truth? Truth about what? Cyrus nodded, his brows furrowed in confusion.

“I like you Cyrus.”

Well duh. “I like you too, isn’t that why we’re friends?”

“No, Cyrus…” he sighed, “I… I have a crush on you.”

Cyrus swore his heart stopped in that moment. TJ Kippen had a crush on him?

“I- I don’t want this to make things weird between us,” TJ spluttered, “I’m still grateful to be your friend and I-”

Before he could stop himself, Cyrus leaned in and pressed his lips against TJ’s. It was a quick peck, but it was enough to simultaneously silence the taller boy and make Cyrus’s heart beat out of his chest.

“Oh” TJ whispered, his cheeks flushing red as a smirk crept out.

“Oh.” Cyrus grinned, reaching over and gently grabbing TJ’s hand.

“The word was cute, by the way,” TJ beamed as he traced his thumb along Cyrus’ hand. “And I hate to break it to you, but a master criminal can’t be cute.”

They both chuckled as Cyrus rested his head on TJ’s shoulder. Maybe detention wasn’t so bad after all…

*present day*

“Cyrus! You’re daydreaming again!”

“Are you planning how you’re going to ask out a certain Slytherin?” Buffy teased, wiggling her eyebrows.

Cyrus rolled his eyes. He knew he was going to have to tell Andi and Buffy about TJ sooner or later, but part of him adored the secrecy of their relationship. A few more weeks couldn’t hurt…

He glanced down at the yellow bracelet Andi had made him, and recalled how excited she was about these tokens of their friendship and trust. Sigh. He had to tell them.

“TJ is my boyfriend.” he blurted out before he could stop himself. He didn’t realize just how good it would feel to say those words aloud.

“WHAT?” they both exclaimed in disbelief.

“Since when?”

“How did it happen?”

“Who asked who?”

Cyrus closed his eyes and smiled. This was going to be a long journey...

[hellhounds-fails-at-minecraft]

meet the first drawn of the next gen Kaiju Guardians (Monster!Minecrafters but Kaiju Guardians is easier) Cyrus the steam punk dire bear. his bio is down below if you want to read. he’s H2ODelirious’s Kaiju Guardian and there was A LOT of love put into this character. so enjoy.

name: Cyrus D. Ursin

aliases: Cy-Cy, Teddy, Steam bear, Mr. Grumpy Fluff (dont ask)

powers: intense heat resistance, scalding hot water sprays, fiery blasts from his spikes and mouth, cold resistance, great durability, can breathe under water and has the endurance to fight for weeks.

allies: Reuben the Griffon (JackSepticEye), Eclipse (stand in name) the Hippogryph (Vanossgaming), Alex/Typhoon (Markiplier), Tobias Blesk (CaptainSparklez), Rose, Puff the Dire Wolf, Midnight the raccoon

enemies: haters/trolls, Data the demon, Mondo the Minotaur, The Dark Mind, High Ranks, Crimson Shield Enterprises, Red Husk Organizations, mutated Kaiju, robots, undead

strengths: has the durability to take any beating thanks to thick fur, tough muscles, metal components, and thick bones. his endurance allows him to fight for weeks on end even if he’s starving or dehydrated. since his heart (and his blood) are super heated, Cyrus has great cold resistance and heat resistance. has enough strength to go toe-to-toe with Tobias. VERY strong protective instinct that could lead to someone’s death if they’re not careful.

weaknesses: protective instincts. if placed near radiation he WILL die VERY quickly from absorbing it and from the heat. though mercury is a BIG weakness of his. acting as an acid upon contact and a fast-killing poison if ingested.

languages: language origin is Native American (there is no specific as he can quick change to each tribe’s different dialect at a whim). other than that his communication knowledge goes from the Northern tip of the planet to the base of Japan (all the way around).

gender/interests: because Cyrus is apart of the newest generation his gender was 100% decided for him. he’s male. his interest is asexual so please dont pressure him.

bio: after the repeated failures of the previous 3 generations of Kaiju Guardians, the Dark Mind and his facilities decided to try one last time in creating bio weapons to take over the world. using left over DNA of already created beasts, the newest generation of Kaiju was “born”. the group is rather small but that didn't matter.

unfortunately this new gen was ALSO a failure. as they were freed by the previous generations. now they do as they please as long as it means protecting their charges (the people they were cloned from).

Cyrus is among this new generation of Kaiju with the hopes of being the perfect weapon. bears are notoriously dangerous when pressured so it would stand to reason that a Godzilla-sized bear would be the most powerful bio weapon in the world. right?

nope. Cyrus has no interest in causing destruction unless it’s unavoidable. he cares deeply about his charge (H2ODelirious) and his charge’s friends/followers/supporters. personality wise, though, it’d appear he doesn't even have the TINIEST of slivers of kindness to him as Cyrus tends to not talk much, he hardly moves around, and always says “no” to things. it’s not that he’s boring or bland. it’s that he finds the crazy shenanigans Delirious thinks as “fun” to be....boring.

in actuality Cyrus is the crazier of the 2. he finds great joy in survival based situations. the more intense the better. also his favorite entertainment is a deadly game of cat and mouse IN THE WILD. plus he laughs at things that are REALLY inappropriate (a character in a movie gets torn to pieces by a beast? he’s laughing like it’s comedy gold).

to add to all this. Cyrus is more grounded than Delirious is. he keeps the masked man from going TOO crazy with his stunts. usually he doesn't jump in to save him unless it’s REALLY serious. otherwise you’ll see him sitting in a pool of water with a DS playing Monster Hunter. Cyrus knows the difference between a real/dire situation and a spazzy situation.

also dont piss him off. you dont want to see this teddy bear when he’s mad.

context: Kaiju Guardians are created, then given, to a tuber and/or pillar of online communities for REASONS. they’re not a fan craze. they’re not “attention seeker” creations. if someone receives a Kaiju Guardian then they’ve done something to EARN all the respect that comes with them. numbers dont matter. it’s personality and passion. H2ODelirious has earned my respect and it’s no surprise, to me, that he’s done this. hope you all enjoy Cyrus D Ursin as he was designed with a lot of love and with the intention of being a symbol of protection.
