Jonah goes over to Cyrus' house for the sleepover and they find out more about one another. Told from a single POV.
Jonah POV
This was going to be Docious! I was going for a sleepover at Cyrus' house. I know I'd only properly introduced myself a few hours before, but I felt like we were meant to be friends. He seemed like a really good guy.
I had seen him watch me play Frisbee and he was so nervous. I thought it was sweet, but it did make me wonder if he liked me. I don't like to assume, so I would wait to get confirmation from him.
As we walked to his house, I saw him occasionally glance over at me. He was shaking a little, so I put my jacket around him.
Me: Here you go.
Cyrus: It's okay Jonah.
Me: Cyrus, I insist.
Cyrus: In that case, I'll wear it.
I saw him smile, which made me feel a bit more relaxed. I had never met another guy who was this gentle and kind before.
Me: Look Cy-guy, you don't need to try to impress me.
Cyrus: Okay Jo... JoJo!
Me: I like it, always call me that.
Cyrus: I will.
Me: And you okay if I call you Cy-guy?
Cyrus: Yes JoJo, I like that nickname.
We arrived at his house and I was greeted by his parents. I didn't know what to say exactly, so I just followed Cyrus.
Cyrus: Hey.
Mr Goodman: Hey son, who is this?
Cyrus: This is my friend Jonah.
Mrs Goodman: Nice to meet you.
Me: Thank you, you too!
Mr Goodman: So, tell me a bit about yourself.
Me: I play Ultimate Frisbee at school, I'm the captain. I also enjoy music and other sports.
Cyrus: Also I forgot to ask, is it okay if he sleeps over tonight?
Mrs Goodman: Has he asked his parents?
Me: Yes they said it was okay.
Mr Goodman: In that case, yes that's fine, seeing as you'll probably be my son-in-law one day!
Cyrus: Dad!
Me: Uh...
Cyrus: Come on, let's go to my room.
Mrs Goodman: Okay, have fun boys.
Cyrus took me up to his bedroom, and I was amazed to see all of the things he had inside. He had an Xbox, about 100 movies and a computer, as well as multiple film posters on his bedroom walls.
Me: Wow, you have a great bedroom.
Cyrus: Oh, thank you.
I had to address something that kept playing in my mind. I figured that it would be better to get it out of the way early.
Me: What did your dad mean by future son-in-law?
Cyrus: Um... Well the thing is... I'm gay JoJo.
I'll admit, I wasn't expecting him to just blurt it out, but I'm glad he did. I was intrigued by Cyrus and hoped I could find out more.
Me: Oh, that's cool dude.
Cyrus: And he assumes that you are my boyfriend.
Me: Does he now?
Cyrus: Yes, I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Me: Hey, it's okay.
Cyrus: R-really?
Me: Yes it's fine.
I noticed that here was finally a honest smile on Cyrus' face. It was nice to see him relax and not be so nervous around me.
Cyrus: JoJo?
Me: Yes Cy-guy.
Cyrus: I know we only just started talking today, but I'm fascinated by you.
Me: Are you really?
Cyrus: Yes and I really like you.
I felt so happy at the moment, and I had realised that I liked Cyrus too. However, the fear on his face was evident, so I had to clear things up.
Me: I'm really pleased.
Cyrus: You are?
Me: Cy-guy, this is the time to tell you that I like you too.
Cyrus: But... you...
Me: I'm bisexual, I like both guys and girls.
I imagine the feeling of relief I now experience was similar to what Cyrus felt when he told me he was gay.
Cyrus: Thank you for telling me.
Me: That's okay, it's all Docious Magocious!
Cyrus: So, does that mean that we could go out?
Me: It definitely does, and I would love to be with you.
Cyrus: C-cool! Boyfriend?
Me: Boyfriend!
I gave Cyrus a hug and it felt warm and happy. I could tell that he enjoyed it because he relaxed in my arms, and he had stopped shaking. If Cyrus is going to be my boyfriend, then I would make sure I was the best boyfriend I could be.
