T.J. bursts into Amber’s room causing her to jump and throw her phone down on her bed.

“Please don’t burst in like that!” She yells frustrated.

“Sorry,” T.J. says half-heartedly before going in to a full-on rant. “How is it possible for one human being to be as adorable as Cyrus Goodman? I mean, come on! It’s not fair. His cute little rants and random dinosaur facts. His big chocolate-brown eyes and squish-able cheeks. And the smile that’s as bright as the sun. And don’t even get me started on the little shrug he does. Ugh I could die!”

“So you’re gay?” Amber questions, clearly taken aback by this new information.

“Oh yeah,” he laughs, “I’m gay. I’m surprised dad didn’t tell you.”

Amber just shrugs in response and pats her bed for T.J. to sit. As T.J. takes a seat, he notices Amber’s phone that is face up and open to her text conversation with Andi. He smiles up at her causing her to blush. The Kippen siblings are masters at non-verbal communication.

“Shut up,” She says, looking down embarrassed.

“I didn’t say anything,” T.J. responds throwing his hands up defensively.

“Let’s talk about Cyrus,” Amber says nudging her brother in the side.

“What else is there to say?” T.J. responds. “I mean he’s like a near perfect human. He’s inspired me to be a better person so I can be worthy of him.”

“I’ve noticed you’ve been in a much more pleasant mood lately,” Amber notes. “Is it because of him?”

“Yeah,” T.J. shrugs but his blush gives his feelings away. “He’s kind of amazing.”

Amber smiles and hugs T.J. She rubs his hair affectionately, and T.J. makes a weak attempt to escape her hair-ruining hands.

“Aww, even your hair is softer,” Amber notes. “You’re such a softie!”

She makes a move to squeeze his cheeks, but T.J. grabs her wrist and says, “I will kill you.” His harsh words, however, are undercut by his fond smirk.

“Are you going to tell him?” Amber asks.

“I think so,” T.J. responds, suddenly terrified of the impending conversation and potential rejection. “He’s coming over for Christmas, so I’ll have a lot of time with him alone. Dad thinks I should tell him then.”

“I agree,” Amber says. “You can do this.”

“Are you going to tell Andi?” T.J. questions with a poke to her side.

“Stop,” Amber purrs, “She’s probably straight anyway.”

“Just because she dated Jonah?” T.J. asks, “That’d be funny if two of Jonah’s ex-girlfriends dated.”

“Yeah,” Amber laughs grimly, “It’s not going to happen though.”

“Hey,” T.J. says comfortingly placing a hand on her shoulder. “She does seem to be spending a lot of time with you. You never know.”

“I love you, Teej,” She says as she picks up her phone and types out a response to Andi. T.J. attempts to look over her shoulder, earning him an elbow nudge to his side. He falls back onto the bed and begins to giggle.

T.J. hears a ding from his phone and notices the notification from Cyrus. He opens up his messages and sees a picture of the two of them from a few months ago causing him to smile like a dork. Amber smirks at T.J. suspiciously who shows her the picture, unable to speak. It depicted Cyrus trying to take a selfie, but his gaze was cast to T.J. who appeared to be wheezing with laughter. Underneath the picture was the text, “Candid pics are the best” with a red heart emoji.

“Ahh T.J.! Do you know what this means?” Amber squeals. “Why do you think anyone uses a red heart emoji?”

“It could just be like a bro thing,” T.J. suggests with a sheepish grin.

“No one ever just sends heart emojis as a bro thing,” she responds matter-of-factly. “T.J. are you actually this clueless?”

“I’m just scared to get my hopes up,” T.J. admits.

“It’s okay,” Amber comforts him, “Cyrus is kind and understanding. You have nothing to lose.”

“Except my dignity,” he mumbles.

A mischievous grin creeps onto her face as she says, “You didn’t have any to begin with.”

At this, T.J. forgets his worries as he pins her down aggressively. It would almost be intimidating, but his giggles give him away. Amber is accustomed to the attacks of her brother and she is able to hold her own agains the athletic teenager.

—————

Cyrus walks into The Spoon and immediately sees Andi sitting at her own booth in the corner of the restaurant. He walks up to her, and she looks up at him with a slight fear in her eyes.

“Are you waiting for someone?” Cyrus asks with worry lacing his voice.

She shakes her head no and gestures to the seat in front of her. “Just drowning my sorrows.”

Cyrus lets out an awkward laugh as he sits down and says, “I’m an expert at that.” When she doesn’t crack a smile, Cyrus shifts to a more serious disposition and asks, “What’s wrong?”

Andi lets out a shaky exhale and says, “How did you know you were gay?”

“I guess I just feel nervous around certain guys, my hands would sweat, and my heart would race,” he explains while thinking about T.J., “I realized that was how most guys feel about girls, and I didn’t really feel anything for them. I don’t know. Why do you ask?” She takes a deep, shaky breath refusing to make eye contact with him. “Andi, what’s wrong?” Cyrus asks again, reaching out to grab her hand.

“I think I might not be straight,” she finally lets out. Cyrus squeezes her hand reassuringly as a quiet symbol of his support and to urge her to continue. “I came here today to talk to Amber, but I got scared.”

“So you have a crush on Amber?” Cyrus questions for clarification.

“Why is it so hard to tell your crush that you like them?” Andi laments.

“I’m pretty sure that’s just a human thing, not a gay thing,” Cyrus comments. Then, struck with curiosity, he asks, “So are you bi or…”

“I don’t know,” She answers honestly.

“I like it,” Cyrus nods and smiles earning a relieved smile from Andi.

For the first time, Andi releases her stress a bit. Her breath feels easier and she lets out a nervous laugh before asking, “So what brings you here?”

“My guess is he’s waiting for my brother,” Amber suddenly says, startling Andi and Cyrus.

“H-hi Amber,” Andi stutters out, a light blush beginning to tint her cheeks. Amber wears a similar expression, but only Cyrus seems to notice.

Ignoring the two lovesick girls and longing for a bit of clarification, Cyrus asks “Your brother?”

“Yeah,” Amber responds nonchalantly, “T.J. Kippen.”

Cyrus can’t hide the surprise in his voice as he gasps out, “You’re his lesbian sister who used to date Jonah.” Then, realizing he may have just outed her to Andi, he clasps a hand over his mouth and mumbles an apology.

Amber simply laughs and nods, clearly confident in her sexuality, something that Cyrus is somewhat jealous of. Clearly it’s a Kippen trait to just not give a shit what other’s think.

“Well, I have to go do my job,” Amber says reluctantly, then casting a soft look directly at Andi, she says, “It was nice to see you guys,” and walks to another table.

“Did you see that?” Cyrus squeals. “She was so flirting with you.”

“Stop it,” Andi says burying her face in her hands. “She definitely wasn’t.”

“Yeah, she was,” Cyrus pushes, “How can you not see that?”

“I don’t know,” Andi answers. “How can you not see that T.J. is totally in love with you?”

At this, Cyrus begins to stutter and blush. He shakes his head and says, “I just don’t want to get my hopes up.”

Andi leans forward and takes Cyrus’s hands in hers. “Cyrus, he’s gay. He clearly cares about you,” Andi explains comfortingly with a reassuring smile. “He would be an idiot to turn you down. And if he’s a jerk about it, Buffy and I will literally beat him up.”

“I don’t need you to do that,” Cyrus giggles. “I have been invited to his house for Christmas.”

Before Andi can respond, she notices T.J. walking through the door and waves him over. Cyrus turns to see T.J. and enthusiastically waves at him. This causes him to break out into the widest grin as he walks to Cyrus. He looks somewhat disappointed upon seeing Andi there, but he forces out a pleasant smile as he greets them before directing his attention solely to Cyrus. They begin to discuss their school days and Cyrus’s first couple days of Hanukkah. T.J. once again finds himself staring at the boy as he talks excitedly about the gifts he’s been given so far. Andi’s focus, however, begins to drift off to the other Kippen sibling who is helping another booth on the opposite side of the diner. The blonde haired girl turns around to look at her, and Andi waves and ducks her head nervously. Cyrus kicks her under the table earning a concerned look from T.J.

“Stop being so obvious,” Cyrus whispers. “You’re staring too much.”

“Wait,” T.J. says, “Do you like Amber?”

Blushing too much to be able to deny it, Andi squeezes her eyes shut and nods affirmatively. When she looks again, T.J. is wearing an expression of shock and joy that makes Andi question what he’s thinking.

“Andi,” He begins, nearly unable to keep his voice down, “You have to tell her! Like, now. Please!” Andi shakes her head puts it on the table. “I promise you,” T.J. urges, “You’ll be fine. I promise.”

She is about to make a sarcastic comment, but she notices complete sincerity in T.J.’s eyes. “Maybe later,” she responds, eager to shut down the conversation.

T.J. accepts this and turns back to Cyrus. “What do you have planned for the rest of Hanukkah?” T.J. asks the boy.

“Oh, tomorrow is the day I spend with all four of my parents, and they kind of told me I should invite you,” Cyrus explains nervously. “They will probably ruthlessly question you about everything, but they’re super set on you coming.”

“I’d love to come,” T.J. responds before he can let the nervousness of a dinner with all of his crush’s therapist parents sink in.

Cyrus and T.J. smile at each other, and T.J. feels his cheeks heat up. He, unknowingly, got closer to Cyrus during their conversation, and he is currently pressed up against him and staring directly into his deep brown eyes from only a couple centimeters away. Neither of them notice Andi’s eye roll at their obviousness and Amber approaching the table.

—————

The next day, Cyrus waits outside the boy’s locker room. He knows that T.J. says his teammates are totally cool with him being gay, but he doesn’t know how they’ll react to him being there. He stayed after school for a Film Club interest meeting and he told T.J. that he would wait for him after practice, so here he stands in the musky middle school hallway that smells faintly of mold waiting for his popular jock best friend (and crush). His mind wanders off to think about the beautiful green glow of the boy’s eyes (as he often finds himself doing nowadays), but he is pulled out of his dreams by an unfamiliar voice.

“Hey man,” Chris says, startling Cyrus like crazy. He is not used to basketball players talking to him (except T.J. of course). “You’re Cyrus, right?”

“Uh yeah,” Cyrus responds suspiciously, “How do you know my name?”

“You come to every game. You’re our biggest fan,” Chris answers coolly. “Plus, T.J. talks about you all the time.”

“All good things I hope,” Cyrus laughs nervously while feeling his cheeks heat up.

“Of Course,” Chris assures him, “I’m pretty sure he’s your biggest fan.”

“Cyrus knows he’s not able to hide the blush that makes it’s way onto his cheeks at that statement. He smiles and looks down to avoid Chris’s eyes and prays that he won’t take notice of his red cheeks.

Chris breaks the silence by asking, “So, are you waiting for Kippen?”

“Yeah,” he answers, “We’re headed to my house for Hanukkah. Why he wants to be ruthlessly interrogated by my parents over steaming latkes is beyond me.”

“I think I know,” He says grinning mischievously.

Cyrus is about to ask what he means, but he’s interrupted by a certain dirty-blonde haired basketball captain emerging from the boy’s locker room. His hair is freshly washed and adorably disheveled, and somehow he’s even more unfairly gorgeous than he’s ever been. It takes everything in Cyrus’s power not to drool at the mere sight of him.

He is broken out of his trance when he notices the nervous look on T.J.’s face as he approaches them.

“Chris, are you torturing Cyrus?” He asks placing a protective hand on Cyrus’s shoulder.

“Relax man,” Chris says, “Goodman and I were just having a chat.”

Cyrus nods and attempts to maintain his composure with T.J.’s arm around him, but he’s sure he looks like a tomato. T.J. looks at him to confirm Chris’s statement, and Cyrus forces out a chill bro-like smile before retreating back to his panicked state.

“Well, I know you guys have holiday plans so I will leave you to it,” Chris says. “It was nice to meet you, Cyrus.” He gives Cyrus the classic bro-hug before shoving T.J.’s shoulder, ruffling his already messy hair, and walking away.

“Are you ready to light the menorah and be ruthlessly questioned by all four of my parents at the same time?” Cyrus asks turning to T.J. with a sarcastic smile.

“I can’t wait,” T.J. answers. He wants to add ‘anything to hang out with you’, but he worries that would sound way too flirty. T.J. is confident in his sexuality, but he still doubts that the boy of his dreams could ever return his affections.

Cyrus simply nods and lets out a light laugh. As he begins to walk out the door, he gestures with his head for T.J. to follow him.
