yknow i enjoy tedependent as much as the next guy, and i get the temptation, i truly do, but i think implying or outright saying trent imploded his career and told the truth about giving up his source only or mainly because he had romantic feelings for ted takes away from what actually happened there?? like. him being willing to throw away his career and in such a spectacular way (not just quitting but actually probably fucking his chances of working further as a journalist at all, i gather) wasn't necessarily a rom-com moment in the sense that it was for ted or about his feelings for ted alone. it was about himself, his own growing dissatisfaction with the toxic world of sports journalism and the kind of writing he was doing, the desire for "something deeper". that's not to say there's no tedependent take on this, or that hypothetical feelings for ted couldn't or didn't play a role. but like, it's also about his own character development, even if it is driven by ted (as many of the characters' developments are)
#it is true that it might not have happened had it been someone else#but not necessarily like.#the potential romantic feelings and this stem from the same thing (ted being ted) but like#one doesnt cause the other#does that make sense?#like. ted (being... well‚ ted) inspires trent to be better#and the situation being that trent was basically put in the position where he had to hurt someone he both respects and like#clearly just likes as a person (romantically or not) is what made him apparently finally decide enough was enough#(AFTER writing the article‚ notably‚ so that might lend credence to the idea of trent choosing to be the one to write it#in order to make it somewhat kinder--however you feel about that)#anyway all this to say i do love tedependent though and it's also extremely funny if like#trent is explaining this to a family member or smth like 'and i just. being put in that position where i have to hurt someone i respect#someone i genuinely like and think is a good person. that just really gave me some perspective#on how i've been dissatisfied with my work and my job for a while. and i think i want something deeper#something more meaningful and fulfilling. something i can truly be proud of' you know all dramatic moving soundtrack#and then the music cuts and they're like#'hm and also your big embarrassing gay crush on him?' and hes like '[sigh] yes and also my big embarrassing gay crush on him.'#what if i made this a silly little oneshot. what then#trent crimm

Day eight of Febufluff: "I dare you to... kiss me"!
--
"Hmm, I dare you to speak in a French accent for the next three rounds." Flash grins over his cup, swirling the drink in front of his mouth before taking a sip, watching the smile drop off of his boyfriend's face, an incredulous expression replacing it.
"Seriously?!?"
"Yes, seriously! And that wasn't in an accent!"
"Oui, oui, baguette." Harry deadpans, looking so entirely done with Flash's bullshit, the entire room erupting into laughter as said boy sits up, shoving his boyfriend's shoulder hard.
"No halfassed bullshit, dickwad. The real deal."
"Fine, you want the real deal?" Harry sits up straight, and Peter starts giggling like a mad man from the other side of the room, leaning against the wall to watch the scene unfold, knowing exactly what is about to happen. Harry clears his throat, holds a dramatic pause for a few seconds, before- "Tu veux un accent francaise, tu vas recevoir un accent francaise."
"Oh my god, I forgot he spoke French!" Flash moans, slowly slipping down the wall in shame.
"Oh la la, ma chérie, qu'est ce que tu as fais, eh?" Harry grins, smug, cheeky, knowing he's won this hand as his boyfriend sinks even lower, his head almost level with the ground, his face red.
"And why is it so hot?!?"
"Okay, okay, enough." Ned laughs, sitting chris cross apple sauce beside Peter, the party hat sat on the top of his head beginning to sag.
It was Ned's 17th birthday, and instead of throwing a big party full of alcohol and loud music like most people in their classes did, he decided to have a smaller party, a sleepover full of board games, video games and now party games, with his closest friends, with their friend group. So here they all were, packing into Ned's smaller sized room, Flash and Harry practically conjoined at the hip sitting against the wall, Peter and Ned sitting on top of his bed on the other side of the room, and MJ and Harley leaning against said bed, sat on the floor, playing what would hopefully be a quick game of Truth or Dare. Hopefully.
Peter had never liked this game. There was always too much risk for him in this game, of being asked to reveal one of his many secrets, or of being asked to embarrass himself for laughs. He gets the appeal of it, the adrenaline rush, the amusement of watching your friends do something stupid, it's a fun game to watch, but that doesn't mean he likes playing it. He hadnt even called on yet though, and he was hoping to keep it that way.
He shouldn't have jinxed it.
As if his thoughts manifested into reality, Harry turns to stare at him with a unknown, horrifying glint in his eyes. Oh no, this is definitely not going to end well. "Action ou Vérité?"
Peter sighs, looking up to the ceiling as he mumbles "Dare.", assuming that's what Harry asked. If he's going to go down, he may as well go down in style.
Harry's grin widens, and Peter is already regretting his decision. "Je te défie de telephoner ton béguin."
Peter blinks at him in confusion, before MJ translates, "He's daring you to call your crush."
"What?!?" Peter sputters, Harry cackling at  his flushing face while Harley speaks up for the first time in a while, his ('beautiful, gorgeous, fuck-') face turned towards MJ, scrunched up in thought.
"You know French? Since when?"
MJ just shrugs, face impartial, the only sign of her shyness being her pushing a stray hair behind her ear. "Since I got bored one day and learned it."
Harley just nods, like that makes sense, all while Peter is internal freaking the fuck out. Normally, this type of thing wouldn't be an issue. Sure, your friends will find out who your crush is, and tease you about it, and it'll be embarassing and whatever, but that's not the problem. Oh no no no no no, that would be too easy for Peter Parker. No, the problem with this question for Peter is that his crush is in the damn room, sitting directly in front of him leaning against the bed, an easy smile tilting up his thin pink lips, showing off his adorable dimples as he scans the room again with those big, stunning ocean blue eyes, hair coiffed back just right, messy, but just neat enough to be perfect, one stray blond curl falling in front of his eyes and fuck, fuck, frick fuck.
What is he going to do?!? He can't exactly call Harley when he's right in front of him, but he can't exactly say that he won't do it either, he wont be that guy. And now everybody is staring at it, expectant, waiting, shit, shit, shit-
Ned's eyes are the only ones that are sympathetic, because he knows, he knows who Peter likes and why this is such a big deal. Harley is one of Peter's best friends, they've been friends for years, and Peter is closer to Harley than he is to anybody else, he cant just throw it all away because of a game, can he? Harley definitely doesnt like him back, so if he does call him, it'll only end badly, but theres this tiny, tiny, traitorous part of him that wants to fo it, wants to tell him, if only to get it out in the open. But he cant ruin their friendship like that, he cant, but- but- oh god, oh no-
"Come on, Parker, we don't have all day." Flash complains innocently, not knowing of Peter's internal dilemma as he throws a stray piece of popcorn at him, Peter catching it subconsciously and throwing it into his mouth, just to try and get a few more seconds of peace before all hell breaks loose, before he destroys his closest friendship with his stupid ass feelings, goddamn it-
"Yeah, Pete, come on, dont keep us on the end of our seats." Harley teases, placing his head onto the blankets and looking back at him upside down, his hair surrounding his head like a halo, making him look even more angelic that he normally does, and god, why him, why? "Who's caught your eye, hm?"
Peter takes a deep, long, shaky breath, trying to prepare himself for the worst (and failing), taking his phone out of his pocket and scrolling down to Harleys contract, the black letters and two heart emojis on either side staring back at him mockingly. He hovers his thumb over the call button, noting how much its trembling, before he gulps and presses it, placing the phone to his ear, squeezing his eyes shut like a coward, unable to watch, knowing that Harleys expression was going shift, was going to turn from soft and warm, friendly, to hard and angry, to hatred and disgust and-
ACDC blares out into the room, the noise very obviously Harley's ringtone, and Peter grits his teeth, biting his tongue hard, his heart hammering in his chest.
"Wha-" Harley sounds so confused, so so confused, and Peter's squeezes his eyes shut tighter, holding back the burning tears that are threatening to spill. "Peter, why are you- wait..." He stops, pauses, and Peter digs his nails into his palm, squeezing his phone until he hears it start to crack. "...really?"
His voice is shaky, and god, Peter made him upset, he is probably so hurt, so confused, so disgusted, god stupid, you're so stupid, why would you do that, why didnt you just not do it, why why why-
He nods once, slowly, swallowing down a sob before whispering out "I'm sorry," into the now eerily silent room, his friends seemingly shocked into silence. He doesnt even want to know what they're thinking, what expressions are on their faces-
Theres another pause, another moment before he hears somebody shifting, Harley standing up, he's leaving, he's leaving- Good job, Parker, now you're forcing him to leave, you made him feel so uncomfortable that he's leaving, good fricken job, god, what is wrong with you-
A hand rubs his cheek gently, so so gently, spurring him out of his head as it brushes away a tear that had broken free, before another hand joins it on his other cheek, cradling his face. Peter blinks opens his eyes, shocked to see that its Harleys hands on his face, and that its Harley sat right in front of his face, with a wide smile and glowing eyes, face bright. "You mean it? You really mean it?"
Peter just nods again, so, so confused but also filling with a spark of hope, of joy as Harley's smile grows even more, filling his face before he launches into Peter's arms, hugging him tightly. "Oh thank god," he breathes into Peter's shoulder, and Peter is so lost, what is happening- "I thought you  were gonna call someone else, and I was gonna have to act all happy and like it didn't bother me when it totally would have and-"
"Wait, wait," Peter finally puts together the pieces, and pulls away to stare at Harley with wide eyes, the beginning of a smile twitching at his lips. "You like me back?"
"Yeah?" Harley cheeks grow a rosey hue, and he looks away bashfully. "I thought it was obvious."
Peter shakes his head wildly, eyes still wide, this cant be happening, he likes me back, he likes me- "No, no it wasn't, it really really wasn't-"
"So, what I'm hearing," MJ cuts in, tone blunt as always, but with hints of warm amusement softening the usual edge, "is that you two are oblivious idiots."
They both laugh breathless, staring into each others eyes. "Apparently." Harley murmurs, his blue eyes swirling and flickering up and down, looking down at his lips before looking back up again.
Peter gets an idea, a cheesy, cheesy idea, and grins. "Hey, it's my turn now, right?" He asks to the group, never taking his eyes off of Harley.
"Yeeup!" Ned responds enthusiastically, seemingly thrilled to see his two best friends realizing their feelings for one another.
"Well," he leans forward a bit more, watching as Harleys pupil's grow bigger. "Truth or dare, Harls."
"Dare." He responds easily, quickly, seemingly getting more and more antsy by the second. Peter can't blame him, he feels the same way.
"I dare you to kiss me." Peter doesnt even finish his sentence before Harley's lips are pressed to his, his hands moving upwards and running through his hair, fingers grabbing lightly onto the strands as Peter grabs his hips lightly, pulling him closer, both of the boys grinning into the kiss. Peter can hear MJ gagging in the background, Harry exclaiming "gross!" like he doesnt kiss Flash every two seconds, and Ned squealing like a fangirl, but he ignores it all, just focusing on Harley, focusing on this moment, his heart swelling in his chest.

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~

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!
