——————————

"I overheard earlier today that Hogwarts received a new student," Druella spoke as she took a sip of tea, delicately patting a napkin across her lips before gazing over at her three daughters. Bellatrix, who didn't seem interested at all in the conversation, Andromeda, who was busy scribbling something in her diary, and little Narcissa who was following along to her mother's words.

"Yes, it's true," The blonde girl, thirteen years old, responded. "I thought it strange at first but apparently he and his family were living somewhere in Europe. Tom Riddle, I think his name is. He'd been taught at home and his father had gotten a job at the ministry so they transferred him to Hogwarts."

Ever the gossip, it didn't surprise Bellatrix in the slightest that Cissy knew so much about the new student. She rolled her eyes, wondering why the hell they were even discussing this in the first place. It was just a new student, who cares? She voiced this several times out loud but had received the usual disapproving glances from the two blondes. It creeped the raven-haired witch sometimes at how much Cissy resembled their mother.

Letting out a sigh Bella swirled her spoon around in her teacup, not finding the appetite to drink nor eat the sweets that accompanied her tea. The three of them were currently in Rosa Lee's teashop, a place they often went to every other week, with permission to leave the school of course- though she didn’t ask for it most times. Usually Bellatrix would devour the treats but today she was feeling too anxious to do anything but. At seventeen years old she had stretched out her days of freedom and was now forced into a marriage that should have taken place two years ago.

The thought of marriage wasn't all that bad, if she was being honest. Sometimes when her thoughts and actions weren't clouded with hate and rage she'd daydream a not so near future of a perfect wedding. A wedding where she would be marrying someone she truly loved and could cherish, to honor their vows to the fullest extent. So the wedding itself wasn't the problem, it was who she was supposed to be wed to that was. Her long time childhood friend, Rodolphus Lestrange. And one of the very few in the sacred 28 that wasn't related to the Blacks by blood. At least that she was aware of… The thought still made her cringe, even after checking every family tapestry available and an exhausting amount of research.

Everyone wanted her to be happy about the fact she'd get to marry someone she's known for years, something most pure-bloods didn't have the honor of having, but it was the fact she knew him so well that she hated. He was like a brother to her, albeit at times an annoying and even sexist brother. He wasn't husband material and she was most certainly not wife material for him. And add to the fact that they'd be pressured to have children immediately after becoming man and wife, the thought of having sex with him made her want to gag. You'd think they'd notice that such a practice was incredibly outdated. She hated to wonder if the marriage had taken place two years ago, would they really pressure two 15 year olds to consumate? Fuck this life.

She felt like the world and everyone in it was against her. All her complaints had been shot down, leaving her inwardly seething with rage before being left totally subdued. Oh, how she hated being so… powerless, left without a voice, without a right to do what she wanted and to do so as she pleased, the ever present shadow looming over her shoulder that was the society and family she was born into.

Letting out a sigh she looked over at Andromeda who was still scribbling in that damn book. Probably instant messaging her friends, something Bellatrix didn't have the luxury of having. At least genuine ones anyway. The ones she had in school were merely vultures following around, waiting for the opportunity to eat away at the scraps she bared. They didn't hesitate to use her to their advantage, trying to play her like a fool. Idiots, they should've known she was the brightest witch of her age for a reason. And no one took advantage of Bellatrix Black.

Despite still being superior she continued feeling a bitter pang in her heart, knowing no one truly cared for her there. Well, maybe except for her sisters, Rodolphus and his brother that is.

Catching her eyes on what she was doing Andromeda quickly closed her book and narrowed her eyes at her eldest sister. But then a familiar smirk curled the girls lips and Bellatrix knew what was going to happen before her sister could even utter a word. She knew that smirk anywhere. Bella herself wore that smirk on several occasions, actually even taught it to her dear sister! If only mother knew how truly naughty Andy was, maybe then the heat wouldn't fall upon Bella so heavily when she did something that displeased her.

"Mother," Andromeda chimed in, interrupting Cissy's conversation with the older woman. "Bellatrix is right. Why not talk about something else."

"Andy…" The dark haired witch warned, fingers clenched around her spoon.

"Like… Bella's wedding perhaps? Surely there are plenty of plans to discuss. Some of which I'm sure my dear sister here is needed for?" The brunette suggested 'innocently', smiling back at Bellatrix before looking at her mother.

Druella blinked once, then twice before she brightened up. Damnit, Andy, Bella thought to herself angrily, glaring daggers at her younger sister. "You're right! We only have a short few weeks before the big day and still so much to do. How about we end this little meal early and say we go to one of the boutiques nearby, check up on your wedding dress," Druella said as she rose from her seat.

And so that's what they did. They went to the boutique, checked the incredibly old fashioned dress, with what looked like the most painfully looking corset yet stitched into the fabric. After, they stopped by a few other shops to double check things were in order for the wedding before finally apparating home. The entire time Bellatrix had trudged along reluctantly behind her sisters and mother, offering a few weak comments and opinions for this thing and that when asked of her.

She was glad to finally be back home, finding relief in the knowledge that tomorrow morning she'd be returning back to Hogwarts, having spent the weekend with her family. On one hand she was glad she managed to extend the wedding date, convincing her parents that it might be wise that she finish her last year and take her N.E.W.T.s before focusing on 'wifely duties'. Yes, that was how she phrased it. And yes, they'd taken the bait, obviously wanting their daughter to focus on her marriage once out of school, and not caring about the intelligence hidden behind her usual mask of indifference.

She made short work separating from her family's side to make her way upstairs to her room. And then made even shorter work getting ready for bed. No one ever bothered her when she was up the stairs and hidden away. It was known to all that Bellatrix Black inherited the 'mad' gene in the family, more prone to violent outbursts and destructive tantrums. Because of this her room wasn't the prettiest, constantly being repaired and sparse so there were less objects to break. The room was also constantly being placed under a silencing charm, quieting her screams so the rest of the household could sleep peacefully. How thoughtful of them, she thought to herself bitterly.

The sun was already down by the time she emerged from the bathroom, all scrubbed up and her hair wet, the many strands in ringlets falling down her back. With her wand, she casted a quick-drying spell to both her body and hair, not bothering with any sleeping robes as she climbed into bed. Once in she blew out the candles before getting comfortable under the covers. Usually, it would be too early to go to sleep, and she'd have at least a glass or two of firewhiskey to help her doze off but she felt the whole unexpected wedding planning this afternoon was enough to do her in. Not only that but she did need to wake up early to catch the train back to Hogwarts tomorrow. So without much further thought she closed her heavy eyes and fell asleep, hoping things could be much easier in the future.

THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS

"Tom Riddle is in our class."

"I heard Tom's family is incredibly wealthy and direct descendants to Salazar Slytherin."

"It's true! I overheard him talking to snakes! Snakes!"

The whispers and excited talk continued on and on the moment Bellatrix stepped onto the Hogwarts express. If she thought Cissy talking to mother about this ‘nobody’ annoyed her, she was absolutely wrong. Hearing everyone around her discuss this Riddle boy absolutely drenched her high spirits and put her in one of her dark moods.

No one needed to look twice to know to stay away from the young witch. If dark glaring eyes didn't strike fear into her peers, then the dark energy and aura surrounding her would.

Not wanting to hear the gossip anymore Bella separated from her 'friends' and found a seating compartment for herself, only able to hold two people, but thankfully no one dared claim the other spot. She sat close to the window, forehead touching the glass, and seeming to cool her ever bubbling irritation. Trees and rolling hills passed by in a blur but she wasn't particularly watching, eyes slightly glazed over as she got lost in thought.

So lost in thought she almost didn't notice the sounds of her compartment door being slid open and a person taking a seat across from her. Blinking slowly she looked over to the 'intruder' as the door slid closed once more, leaving the two individuals with some privacy she didn't necessarily want.

The person in front of her was a young man. Probably around her age with dark brown hair, curling neatly at the front. He had bright emerald eyes, warm but she got the hint of something darker underneath, something dangerous hidden beneath the surface and ready to strike unsuspecting prey. Despite that though everything else about him seemed pretty bland. Pale skin- but not as pale as hers-, average build, and put together uniform.

"Who're you?" She found herself asking, swallowing the automatic 'get out' she was originally planning on saying. Given the fact she hasn't seen him before in this school year or any year before that, she was already dreading the answer. She wasn't even sure why she disliked him so much already. Maybe it was the fact he's barely even started school here and yet everyone was already drooling over him. Maybe it was the fact he was well known for things the student body hasn't even had proof of, things he was already praised for. And on her side of things she was well known for her infamous anger and her upcoming marriage to Rodolphus. That or her status of being the firstborn Black daughter. Otherwise known as the current heir of the Black family. Well. That was until her idiot cousin, Sirius was old enough to steal the mantle from her.

So when he said, "Tom. Tom Riddle," She really couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes. Cause of course the person she had no care for was sat in, of all seats, the one in front of her. "Does that name offend you?" He then asked, wearing the same damn smirk he wore the moment she took in his appearance just seconds earlier.

"No," She said in a bored drawl, eyes once again gazing out the window as her head rested against the glass. "Unlike every other idiot out there, I care not for who you are. You're just another ordinary student attending Hogwarts. Nothing special about that," She told him, her tone consistent in telling him of how much she didn't care.

He was quiet for some time. Not too long, but enough to give her pause and wonder if she'd wandered too deep in thought and he'd slipped away. Only a glance his way revealed that, no, he was still here. "I agree," He finally spoke again. "There's nothing special about me at all. And I'm starting to despise the fact people are so interested in me. Took a look at the school Friday and suddenly everyone thinks so highly of me just because it was a private tour by the headmaster himself," He huffed.

It was clear to Bellatrix by the way he spoke, by the way he talked that he was excellent at charming people, manipulating them even if you would use the darker term. Again, she was many things but an idiot was not one of them and she wasn't falling for his 'charms' or tactics any time soon.

"Oh, poor you," She said in a mocking voice, jutting out her bottom lip as she faced him fully. "New kid in school has everyone fawning over him. Such a terrible life you must live, knowing you have everyone in the palm of your hands with just a smile." She finished the sentence off with said smile before turning it into a sneer.

"I won't repeat myself again. I care not for who you are, and I don't wish to know you or anything about you. So if you're going to sit here, then it better be in silence, or so help me merlin I will curse you. Laws be damned," She hissed. Hopefully for the last time she turned away again, feeling her mood lighten just slightly at her first threat of the day.

Usually, other students would run away by now, flee the vicinity in which she occupied, but Tom just sat there, in shock, or because he actually listened to her words. Finding herself curious about which option she chanced another glance but was surprised to see him wearing that annoying little smirk instead. "Cute," He told her, enjoying the way her eyes widened just slightly before darkening with anger. "That threat might work on others but it won't with me."

Her magic was absolutely crackling around her, like static in the air just before an oncoming storm. She was soon to make good on her threat. "Based on your looks, in how you speak, and the way I saw you walk earlier, looking down at everyone as if they were beneath you. I would safely assume you are a… Black. Bellatrix Black? Considering you look to be in the same year as me," He continued, assuming everything correctly. She didn't need to know though that he'd actually done his research prior to moving here, and that he had asked around earlier. "I don't expect you to get along with me from the start, but you will see me around often. I'll personally make sure of that. Cause I like you," He said with a shrug, smirk still in place.

Bold. Oh, so very bold and before Bellatrix could even utter a single word or even grab and raise her wand for that matter, he was already out the door. The space in front of her was once again vacant and she stared at the now unoccupied seat as the door slid closed.

LATER THAT DAY

It was almost impossible for the raven haired witch to avoid hearing or seeing Tom. It was as if everywhere she turned, someone was talking about him or he himself was staring at her from a distance. Usually she would never admit such a thing, her pride too strong, but it greatly unnerved her. Who the hell did he think he was? Claiming he would see her more often because he liked her? “Doesn’t even know me,” She scoffed to herself, annoyed as she continued on the familiar path to her dormitory.

Bellatrix was a slytherin through and through, like every other Black family member before her. There had been no question about it. Well, maybe after. She questioned it alot. The houses, the characteristics and traits. All of it. And once she's put herself in a more outside perspective about it she really couldn't help but laugh at the whole student body, almost all of them adapting and practically absorbing their houses certain traits into their own personality.

Anyway, she was a slytherin, but she couldn't help but wonder if she'd changed her mindset that first day, if her family hadn't been so adamant on which house she went to, would she have been chosen for hufflepuff, perhaps? Maybe gryffindor? Ew, no. Possibly ravenclaw. These thoughts raced past in her mind as she made her way down into the dungeons. There was a little of her in each, she supposed.

"Drommie, Cissy," Bellatrix greeted once she made it into the girls dorm, having already said the password and walked through the shared sitting room. All three Black sisters shared the same room, something Bellatrix and her mother both insisted and agreed upon to the headmaster when first starting school here. It was a protective thing. Bella knew that her sisters weren't like her, lacking in gut and courage. She was sure Andromeda could take care of herself, at times, but if worse came to worse she was more likely to break under pressure and need rescuing from her bigger sister. And little Narcissa, the spoiled brat she was, didn't have a single backbone in her body, choosing instead to flee or hide behind one's robes. Despite those certain qualities though Bellatrix still loved her sisters dearly and simply made it a priority to keep them safe, consequences to herself be damned.

Sure… maybe it was Bella's fault for them needing protection, having spent most of her years reigning terror down upon those who even glance at her, therefore her peers not liking her and taking it out on her sisters instead. But… hey! They looked at her funny, they deserved it!

"Bella why didn't you sit with us on the train," Narcissa asked, looking at her older sister as she sat on her bed.

Bellatrix rolled her eyes and walked past, towards her own bed furthest in the room and by the window. "As if I'd sit and listen to you two and your friends gossiping about the 'new boy'," She said back.

Andromeda turned to her with a quirked brow. "I don't know, by the looks of it you sat just fine with the 'new boy' before you ran him away."

Bellatrix was only able to scoff as a response before Narcissa quickly interrupted, hopping over towards Bellatrix. "You got to talk to Tom Riddle?" She asked excitedly. "How was he like? Was he charming? Did he show you parseltongue?"

"Cissy, please, calm down. He was none of those things. He was very bland… and cocky, and arrogant," Bella responded, the end getting heated with annoyance. Not towards her sister of course.

"Sounds like someone I know," Andromeda spoke up with a pointed look Bella's way.

"Shut up," The dark haired witch shot back. Because of course she couldn't deny it. She was those things sometimes… all the time. "Whatever. Let’s go. It's time for lunch anyway."

(A/N: lets be honest idk how classes work at hogwarts so lets say bellatrix and sis’s meet up w mother on the reggy, with permission or without, and this particular weekend was a break for all students to either visit their fam or relax in their dorms/explore school grounds. today (mon) is a day for them to get readjusted and classes start up again the following day. anyway continue)

All the way to the great hall Bellatrix's sisters continued teasing her about Tom. Thankfully she took the teasing easily, shoving her sisters good naturedly and joking along. That was until they reached the great hall. She didn't think her sisters noticed but as they walked past others to get to their table Bellatrix could feel a strong force on her, like something digging into the back of her head. She scanned her eyes around the room once, trying to catch the culprit of whatever was happening but all she could see were other students eating merrily, not a clue to her predicament. Thankfully by the time she'd sat down the force had vanished and she could focus back on her sisters.

Tom stood just outside the doors of the great hall, panting and trying to catch his breath. Never had he been rejected so quickly from someone's mind, not even close to breaching it in fact. Her magic was strong, untampered and just waiting to be fully unleashed just beneath the surface. A magic enough to rival his own. She may think she was strong now but oh just wait until he had her with him, by his side. Just wait until he showed her what she's truly capable of.

With these thoughts in mind he swiftly walked away from the great hall entrance, on his way back to his dorm.

Felt every little thing // chapter 1

Cyrus has spent every afternoon by himself for deep fear of upsetting one of the two girls.

they were both in the midst of an argument which meant they pretend they're not in an argument but refuse to be in the same room together until someone finally snaps.

It was Friday afternoon and the spoon seemed less vibrant than the Friday before. He started to notice a lot of older people were there “is it always like this?” He wondered looking through the menu even though he already knew he wasn't going to order anything else.

He felt someone sit down in front of him he looked up to see none other than Amber Kippen. “Hey” she said it wasn't weird for amber to make small talk when he came in she did it every Friday. “What's that?” she asked gesturing to the book he didn't realize was tightly gripped in one of his hands. “ “oh uh it's just a book on the great depression.” Cyrus loved reading about things most kids wanted to leave in the classroom.

To his surprise, after Amber got a better look at the books’ cover her eyes lit up “I LOVE THAT BOOK!” she said “My brother owns it, He kind of forces me to read all of his history books.” She lightly laughed. Cyrus didn't know which was more shocking, that Amber had a sibling or that she had a sibling who forced her to read his history books.

“You have a brother? How old is he?”

“He is 16 like me, we are actually twins but he failed 8th grade so he is in your grade you might know him his name is T.J.” she said helping herself to another baby tater.  “yeah I know him” he said shifting uncomfortably thinking about the whole year of 7th grade “oh no” she sighed “what did he do?” she had a worried look on her face ���Nothing to me personally but it was in 7th grade and people can change right?” I gave a half smile before offering her the last baby tater to which she refused.

“He really has.” she said “ We were going through back then. He is a totally different person now, so am I” she smiled

That last part was true she has changed alot since she was a freshman. Cyrus wasn't sure at the time why she was trying to convince him that T.J. was a good guy but the topic of T.J. Kippen changed to random stuff and they ended up finding out that they had lots in common besides a dislike for know it all parents. It made cyrus feel better to know that he had another friend besides Andi and Buffy. As time went on it was almost 8:30 which meant the spoon was getting ready to close shortly.

“Hey I don't know if you'd be interested but when I get home I'm going to watch this documentary on the worst U.S presidents if you wanted to join it would be really fun” she smiled “but you totally don't have to” she quickly added

“I would be an idiot not to join.” he said

--------------------

They stopped walking when they reached a small dark green house with a deep red door it reminded Cyrus of Christmas, there was even a tree that resembled a christmas tree in their yard.

He noticed there were no cars in her driveway “Do your parents care that I'm here?” He asked stepping inside their home and instantly getting hit with a wave of warmth and the smell of vanilla. “My parents are out of town so it seemed easier not too, you know how older people get with the opposite gender friends.” she said going up the steps.

Oh boy did he know... “All four of my parents are still convinced I like either buffy or Andi, so yeah I think I can understand.” Amber laughed “you're so easy to talk to”

Moments of silence passed as Amber set up the tv. Cyrus could tell she was in deep thought but right as he was about to ask she spoke up

“Can I tell you something?” they were sitting on the floor criss cross “Is this a secret?” Cyrus asked scooting closer “yeah, my biggest secret matter of fact.” she laughed nervously looking to the side.

There was another moment of silence and cyrus watched as Amber pulled on the loose ends of her sweater. “you don't have to tell me if you're not ready amber” he gave her an encouraging smile but was worried she would share something that she wasn't ready to share.

“Maybe it would be easier if I just showed you.” She said getting up and grabbing her phone

“Cyrus?” she said as she typed in something.

“I have a crush on this person” she gave him her  phone and cyrus furrowed his eyebrows, looking up to her obviously confused suddenly,  Realisation hit cyrus as he finally said

“you like Andi” releasing a breath he didn't realize he was holding “that's great” he smiled “did you miss the part where she is dating my ex” she joked “ooo yeah you're right I'm sorry that's terrible” he grimaced “so,, you like girls?” Cyrus asked “well I like Andi and she's a girls.” She laughed “I'm kidding i know what you mean your asking if i like girls specifically right?” She asked “yeah, not that you have to know but do you know?” Cyrus felt strange being the one someone was coming out to but it made him happy to know that one of his friends liked the same gender even if he wasn't quite ready to tell her yet, it was nice to know she will be supportive when he does.

“My crush on iris and Andi is 100x stronger than any crush I have had on any guy. I think I just date guys because I can, as bad as it sounds and it's what most people expected me to do”  she shrugged “it's not like the guys i dated cared much for me either so I wasn't exactly leading them on, well besides jonah but that whole relationship was a mess from the start I just didn't want to be alone” she laughed and cyrus began to notice she laughed every time she said something heavy

“I had a crush on Jonah back in 7th grade and i dated iris so I think I know what you mean” cyrus smiled he didn't realize exactly what he was saying until he was saying until he saw the look on amber's face “You like guys?”

“Well i liked jonah and he is a guy so...” he mocked causing Amber to lightly hit his arm

“Yeah, I'm gay. I really didn't expect to come out to anyone tonight but I'm glad I did.” “same” she smiled “so… movie time?” Amber picked up the pillows off her bed “Movie time.” cyrus said grabbing one and putting it on the floor beside hers.

--------------

They were in an hour and 30 minutes into the movie when the door opened causing them both to scream and the person walking in jumped back “Jeez what are you watching?” he said walking towards the tv “Really” he deadpanned

“Hey politics are scary!” Amber defended picking the popcorn bowl up to T.J. offering him some to which  “who's this and does mom know he is here?” he said bitterly not taking his eyes off of cyrus “Does mom and dad know you were smoking with reed and lester?.” Amber rhetorically asked ignoring his question.

“How did you know that? Did Reed ask you to come again? you know he is always hitting on you and it's really annoying” he shook his head

Amber raised her eyes “Anyways to answer your question on how I knew; you definitely covered the smell of it but, considering you hate the smell of axe body spray and reed baths in it I put two and two together.

Amber noticed cyrus shift uncomfortably “Anyways we have a movie to finish so get out” she said “I don't know” T.J. jumped on the bed “I do love this movie” he said looking at cyrus who couldn't see T.J. because he had his eyes set on another part of the room.

Amber sighed knowing exactly what he was doing “fine you can stay but this is cyrus” she said making cyrus turn around at the sound of his name “hm? Oh yeah that's me” he laughed awkwardly “T.J.” he said “you’re in 10th grade right?” he asked making cyrus’ face fall but only for a second

He had many classes with T.J. since 8th grade and bullied his best friend in 7th and he really has to ASK if he was in 10th.

“Yeah we also have history and english literature  together.” cyrus said annoyance clear in his voice “oh, sorry.” T.J. said (he wasn't) he was a basketball star, he thought. it's not his fault he doesn't remember everybody's names.

Truth is T.J. has changed but coming home from Reed's house where all he did was listen to Reed talk about how everyone wants to date his sister while he was high to coming home to a boy and Amber being alone unsupervised isn't exactly how he wanted his night to go. He has seen this movie over a billion times and didn't care to see it again but, it would be a cold day in hell before he left them alone together.

Amber noticed cyrus shift uncomfortably “Anyways we have a movie to finish so get out” she said “I don't know” T.J. jumped on the bed “I do love this movie” he said looking at cyrus who couldn't see T.J. because he had his eyes set on another part of the room.

“If your going to watch it with us go change the axe spray is giving me a headache” Amber said turning around to face the tv.

“Fine but text Reed. nothing weird,  just something to get him off of my back about setting you up with him maybe tell him to back off or something.” he said walking out of ambers room, leaving the door open.

Amber picked up her phone and sent a quick text to Reed.“Hey, next time you smoke with my brother PLEASE don't bathe him in axe… thanks!!”

Cyrus, who was looking over her shoulder chuckled “you're crazy” he shook his head “we been knew.”

Amber put her phone down and grabbed a handful of popcorn “Get some popcorn let's try to catch it in eachothers mouth!” she said turning towards him criss cross.

“Me and T.J. use to do this all the time when we were kids it would drive my mom crazy because i would always miss.” Amber said “I see your aim hasn't gotten any better” T.J. said from the doorway making cyrus and amber look that way “stop criticizing me we have a movie to finish” amber said

Cyrus looked at the time “Actually,, I have to leave my mom told me to be home by 10:00 and if I make her break shabbat to call me because she's worried all four of my parents will have my head.” Cyrus noticed T.J. make a face but brushed it off

“Aw okay well are you busy tomorrow?” Amber asked getting up to walk cyrus out the door “No, do you want to do something?” Cyrus asked “yeah that would be fun. I'll text you later.” Cyrus gave her a hug and walked out the door.

“So is he the new victim?” T.J. asked making Amber jump “How long have you been there?” She said walking in the kitchen. “I followed you guys but silence speaks volumes.” he was sitting on the counter and when amber got her juice she did the same.

“Silence doesn't speak anything it's silence! But, if you must know, I don't like Cyrus.” She said “Does cyrus know you don't like Cyrus? He seemed pretty into you as soon as I said i was staying he had to leave.” He said with a stern look on her face “you got to be careful ambs guys are vouchers” he said

“I guess it's a good thing I don't like guys then.” she let slip “what?” T.J. asked “I just mean I guess it's good that I don't like any guys at the moment” by the look on T.J.’s face she could tell he wasn't convinced and she couldn't wait to tell this story to cyrus.

Thankfully T.J. dropped the discussion but once more said Cyrus liked her which almost made amber laugh knowing that they were both GAAAAY gay GAY.

A/n in this fic all of Cyrus’ parents participate in shabbat and encourage him to completely but make it his choice I'm not even sure if all of his parents are Jewish but it just worked out better this way. plus, No one talks about Cyrus being Jewish in fics so this should be a nice change.If you’re confused by the ages and grades Cyrus is 16 and T.J. is 16 and everyone is in 10th grade besides Amber who is in 11th grade
