His Bimbo and His only.
Yandere Banda, whose bimbo little stupid girlfriend stands by his side in the store. You hold his hand as he gives men who even glance at you a killer stare. He watched you intently, and he knows how to read social ques and peoples reactions. He makes a mental note of everything you look at or say is cute because he will surprise you with it in a few days after you completely forget about it. He loves his little stupid gf. His final breaking point is when he goes to the bathroom, leaving you in your favorite aisle which is closest to the bathroom knowing that it will keep you entertained while he’s gone. Once he leaves a man walks up and starts flirting with you. You’re so stupid talking to the man not even realizing he’s making moves until he asks for your number. Now he’s the dumb one, all you do is reply with “Oh, I’m sorry :( I have a boyfriend but we can definitely be friends!” You are so sweet and stupid :( What you didn’t know is Banda was around the corner walking he stops in his tracks when he hears you talking with the man. He stops at the end of the aisle staring at your back and the man talking to you. The man sees Banda and his not so friendly smile on his face and the man’s smile fades almost immediately. It gives the man goosebumps and he just stares back at Banda, who’s watching him like a hawk. As he smiles his face and his aura are overwhelming the man looks down at you then at Banda.
The man stampers tripping over his words looking at Banda “O-Oh im sorry no-no it’s okay-” The man nearly trips over his own feet trying to get away as Banda walks over. Unfortunately, he didn’t get too far before Banda is by your side taking your hand in his hand. He smiles at you and you smile back kissing his cheek “Bannie! This is my new friend oh uh- I’m sorry I forgot your name haha.” The man looks like he just pissed himself; how could someone so sweet and nice be with such a scary man like Banda. But nevertheless the man stampers “R-Ren.” Banda looks at him and says coldly “Nice to meet you Ren.” You look at your new friend and say “Well have a nice day!” You go on with your day shopping with Banda and going for lunch. Til the next day you are home cuddling with Banda and the news that plays in the background talks about your newest friend’s murder. You frown “Bandie that guy from the store yesterday died.” God you are so dumb. He smiles sweetly humming in your neck. You look down at him and just giggle as he teases your neck completely forgetting about your last sentence.
Love my Editor for taking up with me and my writing @itscratus

As a result of the current OTW issues and the be the change you want to see ethos I've picked up from this blog, I've set up a fanfic archive on Dreamwidth to try to encourage some plotty, serious fic for my fandom. Yay for trying new things! Is there any advice y'all have for running a small fic archive for a niche fandom?
--
Be willing to moderate.
As in, if someone is a jackass operating in bad faith even if they're bandying about arguments that sound good on the surface, don't be "nice": be firm.
And at the same time, cultivate a friendly and kind space where people generally give each other the benefit of the doubt.

93 for the fanfic writer ask game
93. do you hear other people’s writing styles when they talk?
Depends entirely on the person. Some folks have a distinct mode of speech that carries over into their writing, but most of the people I interact with speak (or type) in a manner that’s infinitely more casual than their fiction—as a cyber native among cyber natives, we bandy about a lot of Internet English. But then you have someone like Neil Gaiman where you hear him speak in public and go, Yeah, that’s the author of Smoke & Mirrors alright.
[send me a number (or a few!)]

Write what you fucking want!
A few days ago, I reblogged a post where the OP talked about how we went too far in the direction of "write what you want." At the time, I understood what they were trying to convey, but, the longer I think about it, and the more I talk about it, the more I realize I disagree.
You absolutely should write what makes you happy and here is why:
I've been in fandom spaces on and off for twenty-five years. I come from a background where if you wrote anything that wasn't canon compliant, you were attacked. Let's not even get into the treatment of OCs. You're not gonna make everyone happy. Write what you fucking want.
Fanfic is harder for people to consume these days. (Personally speaking, I've had trouble concentrating on reading since early COVID.) Chances are high that people won't be reading your work not due to quality but because they cannot sit and focus. Or, it could be because what they're interested in reading is different than what you're interested in writing. Write what you fucking want.
The argument in the post from what I recall was not being afraid to talk about ideas, to bandy them back and forth with mutuals. This is a great idea. I love getting feedback from readers or friends, especially if I'm stuck. This is also not what I think of when I say write what you fucking want. What I think of is people who are more focused on writing what they think others want to read to the detriment of what they want to do. While writing for other people is nice, it's very obvious when you're not passionate about what you're writing. IMO it's also making yourself small in the hopes you make someone else happy. You can't control whether someone else is going to like your work, but you can control if you like your own. Write what you fucking want.
In conclusion: Write what you fucking want, because you'll be happier for doing so, and you're going to create a better work for it.

One last remark (perhaps) on the note of the kiss, is that this is why I find people who bandy for a kiss too soon or just to 'legitimise' a romance very tiresome.
I get it, the average person views 'the kiss' as the only confirmation of romance and refuses to entertain anything else, but I think that's a consequence of bad cultivated habits. I don't think the kiss can be accessory or just a thing which Has to Happen Right Now so everybody's on the right track. Honestly, there are ships with kisses which have been dismissed romantically anyway, because ultimately the romance is more than the kiss and people will recognise that subconsciously, or - they're being wilfully difficult and are worth discarding.
If it were my OTP, I would be frustrated if a kiss happened 'too soon' and/or had its dramatic deliverance weakened.
Yes this applies to Blake/Yang and I'll even say that a premature kiss is a death knell to a R/WBY romance (if it even evolves as one at all) and I think the timing was just about right. Needing to go to a magical otherworld and break each other out from a spell (literally True Love's Kiss) is about the perfect setup. Anybody who denied it was romantic after V6 was just being obtuse and ignorant and I honestly don't think that crowd would have its mind changed if the kiss had been brought forward more. I also hope when it comes to that relationship they continue to develop it (I kind of expect this) without giving them needless fraught tension, since that actually seems like something they're good at doing. I also get that it's a special case for an F/F ship and so I cut that fandom some slack, although I don't think the delay of the kiss was for reasons of not recognising the romance as legitimate, I do genuinely think that it just speaks to the structure of R/WBY endgame romances. Much alike to other straight canon ships having protracted development themselves.
But when it comes to say, a ship fandom like Reylo where a sizeable contingent rejected the romantic foundation of it on the basis they hadn't kissed, that was a genuine example of enthusiastic ignorance as well as actual narrative ignorance. I don't think you need to compromise a trilogy's development just to put an argument to rest. I'd rather no kiss than a hastened relationship development.
I personally had to wrestle with this concerning my own fanfic and people telling me what to do, and perhaps you might say I have a chip on my shoulder, but this was a feeling I had even before this. When it comes to up close personal experience, it's just about accepting that I do honestly know better when I know where I'm going and why things need to happen as they do. Also

What is your, and your readers', opinion on the "the brain doesn't fully develop until 25" argument antis use to shame and vilify creators who make explicit fanfic or fanart of younger characters?
Just always been curious what people actually think about this since I see it bandied about so much. Thanks :)

Aww....so here you are then, instead choosing to bandy about some further terms you don’t get the actual meanings of? Versus, simply, explaining how, remotely the show is gaslighting you, my entire point.
If you did actually read anything, you’d notice there are also wimmin I do like and men I very much dislike.....my merely disliking your fave, for a variety of detailed reasons, is not remotely “misogyny”, it’s disliking a character for being an asshole, regardless of gender...and you’re employing the express same arguments Sarah Palin used in 2008---and, actually, the Rethuglican Party perpetuates endlessly.
It isn’t “misogyny” to hold somebody to the same standards, regardless of gender.
And, again, shipped Jizzy loonnggg before your sock account ass did...plus it wouldn’t make me a “misogynist” if I did...YOU don’t like having your fanfic pointed out as fake....
Ummm...beeen here way longer than your sockety sock ass, how’s that, dullard?
Were you perhaps in Amy’s Zoom meeting, too?
Umm....I’ll never understand people who ignore actual facts and that those of us who dislike PP (and her mommeee) arrived at those conclusions entirely on our own...but please, since you’re still assigning labels.....DO tell us all, exactly, how Cole was/is a “shitty boyfriend”????? Since he spent a considerable amount of time forgiving PP’s psycho ass and opting to put his needs second (at best), while she fucked around and spent his $$, as well as then indirecting him, using him to pimp her projects, etc (while he remained perfectly classy), I truly would LOVE to know!
ETA:
But thanks for confirming that to you “misogynist” = “likes the hotter, smarter, moar ethical, moar talented/creative/serious, better person than mah kween”

She
Summary: Buffy reminisces about her relationship with Andi, the events of their past, and the fate of their future. Inspired buy the song She by Dodie Clark
Word Count: 1836
also this is for @bandi-mack since it was her idea ilyy <3
Am I allowed to look at her like that?
Could it be wrong, when she’s just so nice to look at?
Buffy stared at her phone screen. She had Andi’s Instagram pulled up, and just like all normal people do, she was scrolling through and analyzing all the pictures. So it was a typical Saturday night. She’d begun to sketch one in her notebook. Granted, it wasn’t great, but she worked hard on it.
She smells like lemongrass and sleep,
She tastes like apple juice and peach,
She gravitated towards the warmer colors, as colored pencils in reds, pinks, peaches, and yellows rolled on her bed. Tapping her phone again, she zoomed in on one section of her face, concentrating on trying to get Andi’s eyes just right. They were mesmerizing, even in photos; her chestnut eyes, soft and welcoming, and could read right through you. It was a quality Buffy had always admired, even if it bugged her when she tried to repressed any of her own feelings.
You would find her, in a polaroid picture,
And she, means everything to me, oh,
She glanced over at her nightstand, where there was a small picture frame that she and Andi had made years ago, when Andi was just getting into crafting. It was, admittedly, a little messy, but Buffy loved it nonetheless. Inside was a photo from when they were both little, probably in elementary school, where they both tried to do their makeup.
“We’re fashion queens!” Andi exclaimed, scampering into her mom’s room to grab her polaroid camera.
Buffy followed after the trail of giggles, grinning from ear to ear, with a smudged line of red lipstick staining her face.
“Strike a pose!” Andi shrieked, reaching out the camera as far as she could and snapping the photo. Both girls felt like they were nearly blinded by the flash, covering their eyes with their hands as the photo printed out.
“You can keep it,” Andi said, handing it to Buffy, “my mama always said that sharing is caring,”
It was still one of Buffy’s fondest memories to date.
I’d never tell,
No, I’d never say a word,
Grabbing a peachy pencil, she started to shade in Andi’s face, treading lightly at first, before deepening the color by her cheeks. Andi always blushed this particular shade of pink when she was embarrassed or when someone made her laugh. Buffy wanted to make sure she got it right, so she blended a few more colors into the mix of peaches and pinks.
And oh, it aches,
But it feels oddly good to hurt,
She remembered the day that Andi went redder than she’d ever seen her before. Naturally, her group of friends were at the Spoon, when Jonah walked in. And it was like a switch went off, because Andi just didn’t seem like herself anymore. It was like she’d forgotten how to speak and how to act. Buffy remained quiet, choosing to play with the napkin in front of her rather than intervene.
“Do you wanna come play mini golf?” he asked, a smile brighter than the sun gracing his face.
“Oh, yeah, totally! Buffy do you wanna come?” Andi had asked.
“Oh, I-I meant, just you and me. If that’s okay,” Jonah mumbled, looking to her with hopeful eyes. Andi’s cheeks went red hot turning to Buffy for approval, supposedly.
Buffy gave a small nod, squeezing her best friend’s hand quickly before she scooted out of the booth, and let them both walk out. Pinching her lips together, she gave Cyrus a small smile before they continued their conversation.
And she smells like lemongrass and sleep,
She tastes like apple juice and peach,
Buffy tapped on her phone again, zooming out a little on the photo in order to have a better idea of how the colors blended. Andi’s hair was swooped down onto her forehead, a few locks of it behind her ears. Grabbing the black colored pencil, she thought back to the day when Andi had decided to cut her hair by herself: short. It was a disaster, evidently, but Buffy had come over and helped her calm down about it.
“It looks good, Andi! It’s a new you,” she exclaimed, pushing a few of her bangs aside.
“I look like a boy,” Andi sniffed, turning to look at herself in the mirror, “this was a mistake,”
Buffy fished through one of Andi’s many drawers, before finally finding a blue headband with a bow that Andi had made a few years back. “Here,” she offered, slipping it onto the girl’s head, “better?”
Andi shifted the headband a little, turning to look at herself at different angles. “A little,” she admitted, turning to face Buffy, “thanks. You’re the best,”
She leaned forward to hug the other girl, and Buffy couldn’t help but feel a magnetic pull towards Andi.
Oh you would find her, in a polaroid picture,
And she, means everything to me,
Oh, oh, oh,
She paused, setting her pencil down and grabbing her eraser to try and soften the edges. She wanted nothing more right now than to call Andi, to hear her voice on the other line. To know that things were okay, that things were going to be okay. But she knew she couldn’t.
And I’ll be okay, admiring from afar,
‘Cause even when she’s next to me,
We could not be more far apart,
Buffy opened her phone again, scrolling up to the more recent photos of Andi; one with Libby, a few with Jonah, a bunch with her and Cyrus, and one with her and Buffy. The last one. They were at the library, and Buffy could recall the day like it was just yesterday.
“Shh, are you insane?” Andi giggled, running through the shelves of romance novels, “they’re gonna kill us!”
“Not if they don’t find us,” Buffy chuckled, grabbing Andi’s hand and dragging her along, and ending up by all the CDs and records. They hid under a display of them, both trying to contain their laughter.
“Do you think Cyrus and Jonah will find us here?” Andi whispered, pressing her body against Buffy’s.
Buffy swallowed, breathing in so softly, as though not wanting to scare off Andi like a deer. “I don’t think so,” she mumbled, pulling out her phone, “selfie?”
“Always,” Andi replied, leaning her head in a little closer and smiling as Buffy took the photo, “send that to me,”
She did, and Andi quickly posted it on Instagram, with the caption ‘best friends hide better’.
Needless to say, Cyrus and Jonah found them rather quickly after that.
And she tastes like birthday cake and storytime and fall,
But to her, I taste of nothing at all,
Buffy quickly turned off her phone, shutting her eyes tightly. No. She had been down this road far too many times, lingered on that moment far too long for her liking. But no matter how much she tried to push it from her memories, it seemed to creep up to the front. Grabbing a few more pencils to finish Andi’s shirt, her memories came flooding back.
“I think the lights add a nice touch, don’t you?” Andi asked, leaning back in the beanbag in AndiShack.
Buffy nodded, not even paying attention to the lights. Her eyes didn’t leave the girl in front of her, almost mesmerized by her beauty. Buffy knew that she’d fallen, hard, and there was no way that she was going to be able to get back up.
“Hey Andi?” Buffy whispered, earning the girl’s attention.
“Yeah?”
Buffy hesitated, reaching her hand up and tugging on a strand of her hair. Boldly, she leaned forward and planted a kiss on Andi’s lips. It was quick and childish, but the fire that tore through her body was not ignorable. Immediately, she slapped a hand over her mouth, fingers trembling. Why did she do that? What was the matter with her?
“I-I’m sorry,” she squeaked out, before she started sprinting out of the small shack, not stopping until she could see her house in the distance. Her lungs were aching, her breathing sharp and laborious. She couldn’t see much as she walked into her house, the tears blurring her vision. Her feet stung, her arms felt numb, yet her lips were still on fire.
She wanted to text Andi that this was all some mistake. That she wasn’t thinking about what she was doing. That she regretted it.
But the truth was, those were all lies. She’d wanted to kiss Andi for a long time, but she never did. She didn’t regret the kiss, but she did regret how it had happened.
And she smells like lemongrass and sleep,
She tastes like apple juice and peach,
You would find her, in a polaroid picture,
And she, means everything to me,
Buffy swiped at the the tears that started to fall, cursing herself under her breath. She’d finished the sketch and quickly pushed it aside, not wanting to ruin it. It was a disgrace of a drawing, if you asked her; she really didn’t do Andi’s beauty justice.
Yes, she means everything to me,
Buffy tentatively reached for her phone, clicking on Andi’s story. It was a snapshot of her in her room, listening to music. Sad music, Buffy concluded after a little bit of squinting. She couldn’t help but think back to what Andi had said about sad music.
“Because who wants to listen to happy music when they’re sad?” she pouted, crossing her arms.
“Doesn’t listening to sad music when you’re sad, just make you more sad?” Buffy pointed out.
Andi shook her head. “No, that’s what happy music does. It reminds you of how not happy you are. Sad music gets you. It understands that things are hard, and that it’s okay to feel like that,” she explained.
And suddenly Buffy had a new outlook on sad music.
Swiping up, she hesitated on replying, her fingers lingering on the keyboard. She’d texted Andi for over two weeks, not daily, but still; there was never a reply.
bdriscoll: are you okay?
Buffy turned her attention back to her sketchbook. Taking a pen, she jotted down the date in the corner, and shut the journal with a gentle click. Her stomach grumbled, signaling her to get out of her room and to stop wallowing. Her phone buzzed, and at that moment, it felt like the world stopped spinning, and it was moving too fast all at once. She felt dizzy with anticipation, unlocking her phone with a shaky swipe.

Who Will You Tell If Not Me?
the second part of this tyrus fic so make sure to read the first part if you haven’t!
you can read it on ao3
Summary: What can be better than Cyrus's two best friends getting together? Nothing.
So Cyrus better start working on that, all while avoiding being distracted by his own crush. tyrus and bandi
Notes: It's mostly some missing scenes from the other story with some inner monologue (this time Cyrus's POV! yay)
there's very little dialogue both parts share, but it's still a different POV so you might get new information.
hope you have fun!
Cyrus had the most mind-blowing day.
It started with him dragging Buffy to the gym so she can have a one on one with TJ in order to prove to her the two could play together. The mind blowing part started when Buffy revealed she was starting her own girls' basketball team! How amazing was that? Cyrus could not be more proud of his friend, she was the most incredible, ambitious, young lady he's ever met.
Then, as the three teens exited the gym together, TJ gave Buffy the best rapology to ever exist! True, he wasn't sure any other rapolgies existed, but this one definitely took the cake. This time it was TJ Cyrus was seriously proud of. He came such a long way from the scary-basketball-guy he used to be when Cyrus first met him. Cyrus already got to see this better side of the athlete in the past; swinging together, TJ helping him in his Bar Mitzva, when he opened up to him about his learning disabilities and of course when he helped Cyrus learn how to do a somersault.
All this time Cyrus felt like the two were in a bubble and he was having so much fun with the taller boy. But now, seeing him go out of his way to be nice to his best friend, Cyrus felt he was seeing him in a new light.
Before he knew it, his heart was going ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.
"So... You two certainly looked chummy with each other back there," Buffy said as the two friends watched the defeated basketball player walk away.
"Uhm."
And if you think all this was mind-blowing, wait until you hear what Cyrus discovered that night.
o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o
"No way!" That was all Cyrus could respond with to what Andi just told him.
It was late but Andi sounded like she really needed to share and Buffy was still busy with her family night. That's how Cyrus found himself, sitting at his desk at 9 PM facetime-ing his friend in his pajamas.
"Yes way! And we had the whole thing planned, you know? We got the ring and made dinner and the cake! It could have been perfect." Andi sighed.
"That's so crazy. I can't believe you were going to propose. And that your dad is going on tour." He put both hands on the side of his face to emphasize his shock.
Cyrus saw Andi leaning back on her chair through his phone's screen. "I know. With all said and done, I'm actually really happy for him. I'm disappointed we won't get a fall wedding but playing on tour is his dream." She leaned forward again and put her chin or her hand, her elbow resting on the desk. "Plus, how cool will it be to have a rock-star dad?"
The two friends smiled together at the thought and then started chatting about different matters. Cyrus told Andi the 'TJ is like a puppy' story, and to his dismay she only rolled her eyes at him in response. Andi told him about how she hasn't talked to Jonah since he left for camp and how she really didn't miss him at all.
"Really?" asked Cyrus. "You sounded pretty devastated when he first left." He tried to get a good look at her despite the dark room she was sitting in.
"I know, but it feels like ages ago. I feel like I'm finally 100% over Jonah Beck. To be honest I think I was for a while but I was too hung up on the past to see it."
Cyrus was really glad his friend finally put this whole mess behind her. Sure it was hard for him to witness while he himself had a crush on Jonah, but even without it, seeing the train wreck that was Andi's relationship with him was pretty painful. He decided it was also a good time to let Andi in on the new development of his feelings. At least the ones related to Jonah.
"Uh. Same."
This time it was Andi's turn to squint her eyes at the screen. "What do you mean 'same', Cyrus?!"
"It means-" he smiled- "that I'm 100% over Jonah Beck as well."
"How did you not tell me?" Andi laughed.
"I'm telling you now!" He put his hands up in defense and cracked a smile.
Cyrus knew he was usually more share-y with Buffy when it came to his love, or well, crush life, because so far Andi's involvement with his previous crush made it too painful to talk to her about it. He wasn't ready to admit his new crush to her yet (he barely could admit it to himself), but he was hoping that could change soon. After all, Andi was one of his two best friends in the whole world.
After they talked a little about Jonah, they went back to the first topic of their conversation.
"I still can't believe Bowie will be gone for so long." Said Andi. By now, both teens found their way to their beds, each lying on the pillow with their phone propped up against a book or a stuffed animal in Cyrus's case. "I hope mom will be okay."
Cyrus looked at her sadly. He was sure she was going to miss her dad as well. "Remember how awful it was when Buffy went away? We missed her so bad! But at least we had each other. And now you and Bex have each other, and you got both me and Buffy. You will be okay," He really wished he could hug his friend right then.
"Yeah.." Andi looked very pensive at what he said, making Cyrus wonder what she was thinking about.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"Just the time Buffy went away. I really did miss her. I thought I would go crazy!"
"I know. She's such a great friend." He smiled. To his surprise, Andi only swallowed and turned her head towards the ceiling, so he could only see the shadows on the side of her face and not her eyes. "What is it?
"I-" He could barely see that she was biting her lips. "I'm not so sure I like her as a friend anymore."
"WHAT?! But you are best friends! We are the Good Hair Crew! What do you mean you don-"
"I mean-" she took a big breath- "that when Buffy moved it made me realize what she really meant for me. How important she is to me."
"But…" Finally, Andi turned back to look at the camera and let Cyrus see her face. "Oh," he said, "oh!"
Andi covered her face with her hands, embarrassed. "Please stop making that face." She said to her palms.
"What face?" Cyrus asked, grinning from ear to ear.
"That face!" she peeked between her fingers only to see Cyrus practically bouncing on his bed with excitement.
"I can't help it! My two best friends are going to be girlfriends! This is the best thing that ever happened to me!" And the craziest thing he discovered today by far.
"Oh my god Cyrus, don't say that." She finally revealed her face again. "It's not like she even likes me back, It's just a small crush."
"Hey, don't go and destroy a guy's dream." He pouted which made Andi laugh.
"Cyrus, you're ridiculous."
"And you are in love with your best friend." He sighed dramatically, clasping his hands together.
"Aahah!" Andi buried her face in her pillow this time, knocking the phone face down on the bed so all Cyrus could see now was black.
"Hey, who turned off the lights?" He joked, but only received another muffled scream in return. "Don't worry, Andi. It will be okay," he tried to reassure her. At last, the picture on his screen moved again and he saw Andi's flustered cheeks.
"Yeah." She sighed again. Cyrus let out a soft chuckle, and bit his lips to hold it back. "What?"
"Nothing," he said, "It's just that there's a saying that the gays group together."
At last, Andi laughed too. "This is ridiculous! Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm pan."
"You're a pan?" Cyrus asked in confusion, "I thought you were human."
Andi almost choked on her spit with laughter after that comment. It took her a moment to calm down enough to start breathing again and explain what she meant. "Pansexual means I'm attracted to the person regardless of gender."
"Oh. That makes sense! Hm.." He put a finger on his chin as if pondering.
"Are you trying to think if you're pan?" Andi let out another small laugh.
"I was." He gave a crooked smile. "And I'm not. 100% gay." Right after the words left his mouth he eyed his bedroom door suspiciously. It was quiet. "Where did you learn that fancy word, anyways?"
"Actually, I didn't think about it until-" she stopped herself, thinking of what to say next- "uhm, a friend told me about it, and it just fit me so perfectly."
"A friend? Who? Do I know them?"
"Cyrus…" She gave him a look.
"Right." She can't out them. He was the first to know that. "I'm glad you told me, Andi."
"Me, too."
o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o
Cyrus was so freaking excited. He had the best day yesterday and he absolutely couldn't wait to tell his friends. "You are never going to believe what I did yesterday!" he exclaimed the second he spotted Buffy and Andi at their lockers before class.
"What did you do, Cyrus?" Andi asked.
"I," Cyrus began, proudly pointing at himself, "shot a basket!"
"You what?" Cyrus wasn't sure if he should have been offended by the shock in Buffy's voice, but then again, it was fairly justified.
"I shot a basket!" Cyrus was practically bouncing up and down with excitement. "TJ asked me to hang out at the park and he brought a basketball and he said we should play and I said 'oh no, no way, I can't even shoot one basket' and then TJ was all like 'no problem, Underdog, I will teach you' and then I tried to throw the ball and it didn't go in the hoop but TJ showed me what to do and I tried to throw the ball a bunch of times and I HIT HIM IN THE FACE with the ball once and his nose started to bleed and I felt so bad but he said it was okay and then he helped me with my stance and the position of my arms and then I DID IT!" Finally, he stopped for air before adding, "it only took me 34 tries!"
Both Andi and Buffy looked at him in shock, trying to process his long rant.
"TJ taught you how to shoot a basket?" Buffy asked and received vicious nodding from Cyrus, the biggest smile on his lips.
"And you threw the ball at his face?" Andi made sure, wincing while imagining what that felt like for TJ.
"Yeah." Cyrus laughed nervously. "I wanted to run away because it was so embarrassing, and at the same time I wanted to make sure he was okay. But he was so sweet about it, he just held his nose in his fingers and smiled at me and –he was just so sweet." Just remembering the day's events again made his heart swell with happiness. TJ was so clearly in pain but he acted all tough like it was no big deal. Cyrus wasn't sure if it was because TJ was trying to protect is "macho" image or if he was just trying to make Cyrus feel better. In his heart, Cyrus secretly hoped for the second option.
When he snapped out of his musing he saw Andi and Buffy staring at each other. Now that he knew Andi liked her, he couldn't stop seeing it. And with that on his mind, he also couldn't help but wonder if the feelings weren't mutual. Like right now, the smile they gave each other- it had to be more than platonic, right?
"Well, I'm glad you had fun," said Buffy, "with your sweet friend."
This comment painted Cyrus's cheeks pink and he looked at Buffy with scared wide eyes. After the conversation he had with Andi the other day, he knew he would tell her about his TJ crush sooner or later, but he didn't think Buffy would tell her.
"Cyrus, it's okay." Andi reassured him. The boy looked between his two friends, his eyes narrowed this time.
"You told her?" he asked Buffy.
"She didn't need to tell me anything. You were pretty obvious." Especially after he told her he was over Jonah, he imagined. "TJ is too if you ask me."
"Am not! And he definitely isn't." She was talking nonsense. "He's like the straightest guy in the book." He played basketball and was very handsome and, just, very much hetrosexual.
Andi sighed. "For a gay guy, your gaydar is kind of bad."
His mind immediately went to his discovery of Andi's sexuality a few days earlier and he had to agree. Didn't mean he wasn't offended when his two best friends burst out laughing on his account. "You guy are the worst friends," he said, making sure to smile to let them know he didn't really mean it.
"Come here, group hug." Buffy extended her arms and the three hugged right there in the hall. After they parted, Buffy started again, "so…"
"Can we please stop talking about my love life? Or lack of thereof." Seeing Buffy was about to say something else Cyrus added, "please."
"Fine," Buffy grumbled, "you're no fun."
"Anyways," Andi started, "watch this." She pulled out her phone and moved it around with her hand, the case changing colors with her movement.
"That's so cool!" Cyrus called and leaned in to looked closer. He had no idea how Andi was coming up with those crazy craft projects, but they were always amazing. "How did you make it?"
"Well, there's this special tape that changes colors in the light, Bowie actually got it for me while he was on tour." She explained.
Cyrus asked her if she could make him a cool phone-case as well when he noticed Buffy wasn't really paying attention to what he said. Her eyes were glued to Andi, never leaving her face as the girl happily agreed to make Cyrus his request and listed the others things she could make with the tape.
Buffy shook out of her soft expression when the bell rang not a minute later, and she finally looked at his direction. Cyrus gave her a look. Oh, they were definitely having a chat later.
o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o
Later turned out to be the next day. Cyrus texted Buffy to ask if he could come over, and since it was Saturday morning it was a no-brainer she'd agree.
"So," Buffy began once they were both settled on her bed, sitting cross-legged face to face, "was there another interesting thing that happened with TJ at the park that you wanted to share?" She smirked.
"What? No!" He denied, feeling his face heat up. "I told you and Andi everything yesterday."
"Oh." She looked almost disappointed. "So what did you want to talk about?"
"Well…" Cyrus wasn't sure what was the best way to approach this but decided to just go for it. "Remember when we said we were crush buddies? And I told you about both my Jonah and my-" he was sure his cheeks were pink again-" TJ crush?"
"Yes…" She said slowly, narrowing her eyes in suspicion.
"So, what about you?" He watched as her mouth opened slightly in surprise.
"Me?" she said after she recovered, "What are you talking about?" She laughed nervously. "I don't like any boy." She continued to laugh and avoided his gaze.
"Okay… What about girls?" He questioned carefully. Buffy's eyes immediately found his again as she stared at him in shock. "Oh my god!" He took it from her response he was right.
Buffy bit her lips and looked down again. "Cyrus…"
"Yes?" He asked excitedly. He felt like all his dreams were coming true. Or out.
"I need to tell you something."
"Yes?" He prompted again, his voice filled with anticipation.
"So, you see…" She still wouldn’t look at him so Cyrus took her hand in his and squeezed, like she did with him so many times before.
"It's okay," he promised.
At last, Buffy took a big breath and said: "I'm asexual and homoromantic." Cyrus wasn't sure completely what it meant, but he squeezed her hand reassuringly again to let her know he was there. "So basically," she added at last, "after you told me about you it got me thinking too. I tried really hard to be attracted to boys- I'm sure there are at least two in my class that think I'm crazy from how much staring I did-" she let out a small giggle, "but it didn't work. So I tried the same with girls and it didn't really work either, but I did realize the feelings I had about Gina in 5th grade were something like a crush. So I did some research online and found out what fitted best. It might change in the future but for now this is the label I see myself as." She finally finished and Cyrus gave her the biggest smile.
"Buffy, I'm so glad you told me!" He may have, and may have not had tears in his eyes by now. He pulled his friend into a hug and they stayed like that for a long moment. If Cyrus didn't know any better he would have thought that maybe he heard a sniff next to his ear, but when they pulled apart Buffy had nothing but a big smile on her face.
"Thank you for being such a good friend, Cyrus."
"Are you kidding?" He said. "After everything you did for me?" They shared another short hug and Cyrus mumbled to himself: "the gays really do group together, huh?"
"What?" Buffy looked at him funny.
"Nothing, nothing," he said, "anyways, I think you should really tell Andi how you feel."
"Wh-what?" Buffy went back to being extremely flustered, "I never told you my crush was on her."
All Cyrus did was raise an eyebrow at her as if saying 'girl. Please'. Buffy responded by lifting her hands up and rubbing her eyes and cheeks.
"Do you really think I should tell her?" She asked eventually with a small voice.
"Buffy. Andi is like your best friend for life- except me, of course. She loves you no matter what, don't worry! You'll be fine."
"You know, maybe I'll do it."
This was going to be great! Cyrus couldn't imagine something better than his two best friends becoming girlfriends. Well, maybe he could but he would not go into that right now. Now it was time to focus on his friends, and he was very happy for them.
o~O~o~O~o~O~o~O~o
It was a little over two weeks after Cyrus talked with Buffy at her house. In that time the girl confessed her feeling to Andi and the two got together. Other than being incredibly awesome, it was also such a relief for Cyrus, who could barely keep the secret of his friends' feelings to himself.
Though the first week of their relationship was pure 'honeymoon phase', Cyrus was happy for his friends and they made sure to still include him in group activities. Sure he was a little jealous of what Buffy and Andi had, but that feeling didn't last for long.
Only a few days after the two got together, he himself got a text message from TJ only saying "can you meet me at the swings?"
Cyrus was extremely worried and nervous when he went to the park that day, but he was a 100 times lighter when he left it a couple of hours later.
Because TJ liked him! Liked him liked him. And this time it was officially the best day ever and Cyrus couldn't stop grinning the whole walk home with TJ, with his hand in his.
So can anyone really blame him for wanting to share his perfect relationship with his friends and their own perfect relationship?
Hence how the double date nobody could ever see coming was taking place right there at the Spoon.
This was perfect. He had his two best friends in the entire world in front of him and his new boyfriend by his side (currently stealing baby taters from Andi's plate to give to Cyrus). It was a wild ride, and definitely the craziest one.
Or so he thought.
Just when he thought life made sense again, two more people entered the diner, capturing his attention. It was easy to identify the first one, but when the other turned around it was revealed that standing there and holding Walker's hand was no other than- Jonah Freaking Beck.
"Oh. My. God."
~fin~
did i mention everyone is gay?
I mean technically cyrus and tj are gay, andi and walker are pan (that's who she learned that from if you were wondering), jonah is bi and buffy is homoromantic asexual, but yeah you get it
hope you liked it!
this completes this very short series, but i might do other works in the fandom if ppl like it and inspiration strikes :)
thanks for reading and please leave a comment to let me know what you think!
