When We Get Married... (Childhood Friends)

T.J. and Cyrus have been best friends for years. Since they both publicly came out, they have been the subject of wedding jokes between their friends and other classmates. They join in, but it secretly hurts them.

First prompt for Tyrus Bingo!

Ever since T.J. and Cyrus were five, they’ve been completely inseparable. They would play together on the playground during recess. T.J. wanted to play soccer with the athletic kids in his class, but Cyrus’s aversion to all things sports caused T.J. to split his time between the intense soccer game and sitting on the swings with his best friend. Sometimes the other boys would tease Cyrus for dorky personality, but T.J. would push them around. He often got in trouble in his attempts to defend Cyrus. Cyrus would reprimand him for his immediate jump to violence, but he secretly loved how secure he felt around T.J. The boy was stronger than most of the other kids their age and he had a mean face that many of them were scared of.

In seventh grade, they both came out to each other. T.J. wasn’t surprised. He had seen the way that Cyrus interacted with their new friend Jonah. He had never witnessed Cyrus get so nervous and excited about one person. This was exactly how T.J. realized his own feelings. He realized that the way he felt about was different from how he felt about anyone else, even his other male friends like Reed and Lester. It wasn’t normal to get jealous watching your best friend falling over themselves while trying to talk to their crush, but T.J. couldn’t help but wish it was him.

—————

During eighth grade, T.J. officially became an honorary member of the Good Hair Crew. He would often tag along to their trips to the Spoon. He had built an actual friendship with Buffy built on competition and a mutual love of Cyrus. When T.J. and Cyrus came out publicly, rumors started to spread about the nature of their relationship. After a while, they stopped denying them and just leaned into the joke.

Now in his freshman year, he goes to The Spoon with GHC a few times every week. He doesn’t really mind most of the others, but he really only goes to have an excuse to sit close to Cyrus. Sometimes he drapes his arm around the back of the booth, often earning an eye roll and a kick to the shin from Buffy.

“My parents’ wedding was honestly my dream wedding!” Andi exclaims. “I would kill for a wedding like that!”

“You did make pretty much all the decisions,” Buffy says. Her and Marty are splitting a milkshake and playing footsie under the table, but they swear they’re not a couple.

“Didn’t Cece help?” Jonah questions.

“Yeah, but she mostly leaned into my choices,” Andi says. “Which were usually right, might I add.”

“Honestly it was great. You did a great job, Andi!” T.J. says. “Although, I would have had my first dance be to Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” instead of that Ed Sheeran song.”

“Excuse you, Ed is a ginger god and you will respect him,” Cyrus protests. “At least it’s not that cheesy dance song from High School Musical.”

“High School Musical 3 is a cinematic masterpiece so please check yourself,” T.J. says. It’s meant to be a joke but his true passion spills over. “But nothing can beat the goddess that is Cyndi Lauper!”

“Well, I will keep that in mind for when we get married,” Cyrus teases. T.J. knows it’s just a joke. It’s an ongoing joke in their friendship, but it never means anything serious. When it began back in middle school, T.J. would laugh along and even bring it up on his own. Now, every time one of their friends makes a joke T.J. feels a pang in his chest.

He knows he’s asking for too much from Cyrus. Despite his rough patch in middle school when he attempted to push everyone away, Cyrus never left his side. Even when it put an enormous amount of strain on his relationship with Andi and Buffy, Cyrus continued to support him and justify his actions. It’s already enough to be his friend because he doesn’t deserve Cyrus, but T.J. wants more.

This particular time, Buffy seems to recognize the pain on his face. She takes time away from her witty banter with Marty to make eye contact, and a few minutes later he receives a text from her telling him to meet her at her house after their hangout. The rest of the conversation washes over him. He can’t bring his mind to focus on anything other than Buffy’s message and his overwhelming desire to be even closer to the boy next to him despite the fact that they are already in very close proximity and sharing a basket of baby taters between them.

—————

“Can you stop being a dumbass?” Buffy says as she lets T.J. into her house.

“Why hello Buffy,” T.J. says caught off guard by her words. “Why don’t you tell me what you mean?”

“You’re in love with Cyrus,” Buffy clarifies, “And I know you don’t think so, but Cyrus loves you too. So please tell him.”

T.J. sighs and sits down at the bottom of the stairs, burying his face in his hands. “You don’t get it,” T.J. says with worry in his voice, “It’s not that easy. He’s just…intimidating.”

“Cyrus? Intimidating?” Buffy says.

“You don’t get it because you have all these amazing friends,” T.J. explains. “You have Cyrus and Andi who would never abandon you and you have Marty who would kill anyone who tried to offend you. Cyrus is all I have. I don’t want him to abandon me.”

“You’re not giving him enough credit,” Buffy says earning a scoff from T.J.

“I’m serious,” Buffy assures him, sitting next to him on the stairs. “You’re underestimating how much he cares about you. He would do anything for you.” Buffy takes his hand. “You’re not going to lose him, and you’re not going to lose me either. I promise.”

T.J. doesn’t know how to speak without bursting into tears, so he rests his head on Buffy’s shoulder as a thank you. It’s a moment uncharacteristic of their friendship, but it’s the kind of support T.J. desperately needs.

After a while, T.J. looks up at Buffy with a pained grin and says, “Ya know, if I had to pick a girl.”

“Gross,” Buffy says, playfully pushing T.J. away earning a burst of laughter from both of them.

“I’m going to tell him tomorrow,” T.J. says.

“That’s great,” Buffy says, a small smile spreading across her face.

—————

T.J. was going to tell him after school, but during his lunch break he receives a text telling him to meet him at the swings. This causes worry to bubble up in T.J. He rushes outside, but is unfortunately stopped by one of the senior basketball players who had teased him for his sexuality. Most of the people in his school had been extremely supportive when he came out, but there were still a few that had a problem with who he was.

“Are you going to meet your boyfriend?” he says. T.J. wants to just ignore him, but the tall senior is blocking the exit. “Isn’t Cyrus the love of your life? I thought you were going to marry him.”

“Shut the hell up,” T.J. says. “He’s not my boyfriend.”

“But you want him to be,” he says.

“Yes, I would be lucky for him to be my boyfriend,” T.J. says. He’s done denying what he feels. “Let me get through.”

“You’re such a pansy,” he says, pushing T.J. towards the door. Under normal circumstances, T.J. would fight back but he’s too distracted by Cyrus so he tries to breathe away his anger as he exits the school building.

As T.J. approaches the swings and sees his favorite person, his throat begins to close up. He wipes his hands on his jeans, but it’s no use. As he approaches, Cyrus stands up from his usual spot fiddling with the bottom of his shirt.

“Hey, Scary Basketball Guy!” Cyrus says. He attempts to seem normal, but his anxiety shows through his flimsy mask of confidence.

“Scary?” T.J. questions. “Have you finally started to see me the way everyone else does?”

“You’re pretty scary to me right now,” Cyrus admits, looking down at his feet in the mulch. Although he’s standing on the solid ground, he grips the swing chain to keep upright. “I don’t want to tell you, but I can’t keep it inside anymore.”

“Cyrus,” T.J. says stepping towards the boy, “Nothing you say could change the way I—could change our friendship.”

“That’s the thing, I want it to change,” Cyrus says, barely keeping his voice steady. T.J. furrows his eyebrows in confusion. “I am so in love with you, and I know this makes our friendship awkward or whatever. I just really need you to know how I feel. Every time one of us makes a joke about marrying each other, it hurts to know that won’t happen. Why would it? You’re the cool, confident basketball guy and I’m just…me. I just—“

“Cyrus please shut up,” T.J. says, abruptly cutting off his best friend’s rant. “Anyone would be lucky to be your boyfriend.”

“But?” Cyrus questions.

“But nothing,” T.J. says. “I was so scared to tell you, but I have never felt this way about anyone else. I love you so much. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met, inside and out, and I have never felt this way about anyone.”

Cyrus stands stunned. He is unable to speak, so he surges forward and wraps his arms around T.J.’s neck. T.J. laughs with relief as he wraps his own arms around the boy’s waist, holding onto him as if he’s afraid this moment could be taken away from him at any second. It feels too good to be real, but T.J. breathes in the scent of his childhood best friend. He smells like home and everything that is worth a damn because Cyrus is the only one that is worth a damn to him.

“Is it weird to make marriage jokes now?” Cyrus questions, looking up at him.

“Maybe a bit,” T.J. says, “But I don’t really give a shit as long as I have you!”

Cyrus can’t help but swoon as they bell rings signaling the end of the lunch period. T.J. doesn’t want to let Cyrus go, so he’s content when the boy burrows his face into his hoodie and groans. It’s his silent way of telling him that he just wants to stay here in T.J.’s arms, and T.J. is definitely not going to complain.

Spilled Juice & Spilled Emotions-Tyrus Bingo 2019 FIC!

I’VE NEVER WRITTEN A FIC BEFORE SO IT MIGHT NOT BE GOOD:

It was a normal day at TJ’s house…

“I can’t believe I’ve never been here before! It’s so fun! Especially that game where you threw the ball in that hoop!” Cyrus said.

“It’s called Basketball, and you threw a football into a soccer net.” TJ jokingly scoffs.

“Whatever. Hey do you have anything to drink?” Cyrus asks.

“I have Gatorade, Powerade, and lemonade.” TJ states.

“Any drinks that don’t end in -ade?” Cyrus asks.

“We have tap water. But we have water flavor additives.” TJ says, while walking to the faucet, “Red Blueberry, or Green Orange?”

“How about Green Orange, Red and Blue are opposites on the color wheel so that’s unnatural.”  Cyrus says.

TJ grabs the flavor pack, and rips it open and pours it into the glass.

“Here you gooooo…” TJ trips in slo-mo.

“Oh TJ! You got me wet!” Cyrus screeches!

“Hold on Cyrus, I’ll get you a shirt!” TJ says and runs to his room.

A minute later…

“Here I picked one of my nice church shirts.” TJ said.

“Well now it’s converting to a synagogue shirt.” Cyrus jokes, while changing.

“My mom should be here soon to do the laundry, she’s almost done with work.” TJ says.

“Well thanks for helping me in this predicament TJ. Y’know you’ve always been so helpful to me. And I’d like to help you.” Cyrus says while grabbing TJ’s hand, “If you let me.”

“Oh I’ll let you.” TJ slowly kisses Cyrus.

Cyrus wakes up, “Whaa?! What happened?”

“Oh Cyrus, you got knocked out, when I fell and spilt juice on you. But I changed your shirt and got you on the couch.”  TJ said.

“You’re the best pal ever!” Cyrus excitedly says.

“I am.” TJ looks down.

“But we can be more.” Cyrus says, and kisses TJ.

My Pain is Yours (Soulmates)

Summary: In a world where the government regulates that soulmates of the same gender are not allowed to bond, T.J. faces the bleak reality of life with his same-gendered soulmate.

Read on AO3!

Part of Tyrus Bingo!

T.J. knew from a very young age that the person he was destined to be with was very accident prone. It was incredibly common for him to wake up with a new scar or bruise that he had not done anything to cause.

From a very young age, T.J. desperately wanted to meet his soulmate to protect them from the apparently dangerous world they lived in (although he was beginning to think that the kid just tripped and ran into things that T.J. wouldn’t be able to warn them about).

He felt connected because he felt all of their pain (of which there was a lot) and he knew one day he’d be able to meet them and spend the rest of his life with them. Or that’s what he thought.

—————

By the age of eleven, T.J. had what he thought was his first crush, but it wasn’t on a girl. Jonah Beck was the nicest kid in school. T.J. often fell asleep thinking about his dark hair, bright green eyes, and kind smile. The kids who were lucky enough to have already discovered their soulmates reported similar feelings to his for their opposite gendered loves.

“Mom, does any boy ever get matched with another boy?” T.J. asked. He had begun to realize that he seemed to feel the same way about other boys that he was supposed to feel about girls. It worried him because he’d never seen a couple in the real world comprised of two males.

“Sometimes that happens, hun,” his mom says, hardly looking up from her laptop. “But it’s very rare, and they are not permitted to bond.”

“Why not?” T.J. questioned, “Isn’t their soulmate bond the same as any other?”

“The universe sometimes messes up when it pairs two boys or two girls together.”

“I thought the universe is always right,” T.J. said, growing increasingly 

“It usually is,” his mother responded. “Our government, however, has perfected how to assemble family units, and that does not include same gendered pairs. Even if it’s natural.”

“That’s not fair,” he said.

“You’re too young to understand it now, but you will get it when you get your soul mark.”

—————

It’s the morning of T.J’s fifteenth birthday. The day he receives his soul mark. He still doesn’t get it. Maybe because of the way his heart aches whenever he sees Cyrus’s big, glimmering brown eyes. Or how he zones out sometimes thinking about how soft Cyrus’s lips seem. When the boy smiles, T.J. feels as if he’s being serenaded by a heavenly chorus.

Ever since they met, T.J. had felt a certain butterfly feeling whenever he looked at the boy, but he figured it out when he took Cyrus to his work. T.J. woke up the next day with a bruise on his knee and an aching wrist. Both of the injuries his accident-prone best friend had sustained while learning how to do a somersault.

T.J. groans in his sleep-deprived state. He’s not in a hurry just to see his fears confirmed. Cyrus is his soulmate. He knows without seeing it. As he rolls out of bed, pulls off his shirt, and looks in the mirror, the beautiful cursive writing of the boy’s name seems mocking. The universe saying “here’s the person you are destined to be with” and the government saying “you must live a life of lonliness.”

When he questioned his mom about the subject again she said, “I’m sure you’ll turn out normal.”

The word ‘normal’ burns in his head now as he stares at the lettering over his heart. Cyrus. The boy he loves. The boy he must live without.

T.J. doesn’t know what to do. The writing over his heart is clear as day. Cyrus, as far as he knows, is definitely not a girl’s name. He’s completely screwed. He wants to crawl back into bed and ignore the world, but he hears a knock on the door and the fake cheerful voice of his soulmate. He shrugs on a hoodie just in time to meet Cyrus at his bedroom door.

The boy looks just as terrified as he does. It wasn’t something they had talked about, but he was pretty sure that they both knew they were doomed. Cyrus tries his best to form a forced smile, but his eyes lack the excited glimmer that’s normally paired with his heartwarming joy. His dark hair is disheveled beyond belief, and his shirt is wrinkled. It’s a very un-Cyrus appearance. Although he lacks certain motor-skills making him a disaster, he is always put-together and well-rested. This morning, he seems to be neither of the two.

T.J. still thinks he looks beautiful, which is a heartbreaking thought that he tries to banish from his mind with little success. Cyrus looks expectantly at him.

“So?” Cyrus says, “Who’s your soulmate?”

T.J.’s eyes drop to his feet. “You know who it is,” T.J. says. His voice is glum and sad. Cyrus steps towards him and closes his bedroom door. “This isn’t fair.”

“Can I see it?” Cyrus asks.

Tears well up in T.J.’s eyes as he nods, and Cyrus pulls down the neck of T.J.’s hoodie to reveal his own name. Cyrus traces the pad of his pointer finger over the black lettering as T.J. wraps his arm around the boy’s waist.

“It’s so beautiful,” Cyrus says as he solemnly admires the way his name looks in the swooping cursive font.

“So are you,” T.J. responds, before he can stop himself. “That’s why this isn’t fair.”

A single tear runs down T.J.’s face as Cyrus wraps his arms around his neck and buries his face into T.J.’s chest. The soft fabric that smells strongly of T.J. is strangely comforting to him in a somber way.

“I love you so much,” Cyrus says, his voice muffled by T.J.’s chest. “No matter what happens.”

“I love you too,” T.J. chokes out.

The boy looks up at him, and T.J. can’t possibly hold himself back from his heart-aching desire to lean in. Cyrus seems to have the same thought as his eyes flutter shut. The moment their lips connect, T.J. feels a tingling sensation across his chest. This is what his mother described happened when she kissed his dad for the first time. This moment is what begins a lifetime of hiding. Living alone and kissing in private behind closed doors. T.J. will do whatever it takes to spend his life with his favorite person.

“What am I going to tell my mom?”

“Let’s not worry about that right now,” Cyrus says. “Just kiss me.”

Every logical part of T.J. tells him to say no, but he’s past logic with the love of his life staring up at him longingly. T.J. wraps his arms around Cyrus and kisses him as if his life depends on it. He pulls Cyrus as close as they can possibly get, and Cyrus’s hands move from T.J.’s cheeks to the back of his head as he deepens the kiss. Everything feels so right, and T.J. can’t grasp why anyone would want to keep them apart. T.J. wants to stay in this moment for the rest of his life, but he knows what comes next for them. Pain. Longing. Separation. Loneliness. He chooses to ignore the future, and be with Cyrus.

An hour later, T.J. and Cyrus find themselves watching a movie on T.J.’s bed. Cyrus is resting his head on T.J.’s shoulder and T.J. has his arm wrapped securely around Cyrus, his hand playing with the soft hair on Cyrus’s head as the boy drifts into a soft slumber. One day, T.J. thinks, the world will grow more accepting of this. It was T.J.’s only hope to make his future bearable.
