Prompt: Accidentally buttdials crush while talking about them to a friend
I was home talking to Andi on a Friday. We were chatting about everything and nothing all at once. I had my phone unlocked next to me but wasn’t paying much attention to it. Neither of us were.
“So! Tell me about TJ!! Have you talked to him lately??” Andi was jumpy and excited, shes wanted to know everything since Ive told her about my crush.
I leaned back and sighed slightly laughing.
“Oh im leaning on my phone” i picked it up and kind of cast it to the other side of the bed not caring if i opened any games.
“Nice diversion. seriously tell meee have you told him yet?”
“No I havent told him yet! Hes gona hate me”
“He is not going to hate you because of how you feel.”
“But what if he does what if i ruin every good thing between us..”
“Hes a good person. Hes your best friend even if he doesnt feel the same he’ll totally understand”
“But like its gona hurt when he doesn’t feel the same”
“No when there is no way he likes me even the slightest.”
“Because he’s this amazing and athletic guy who everyone swoons over and Im me. Im just this small nerdy guy who cant throw or catch a ball if my life depended on it”
“That doesnt matter Cyrus. Youre his bestfriend you have a big heart and a wonderful sense of humor.”
“But Andi you dont get it. I am completely and utterly in love with TJ and its going to destroy me”
“I think it was your phone.”
*‘Cy you buttdialed me buddy’*
I grabbed my phone with lightning speed and looked to see who i had called.
I pointed the screen towards her.
*'wait underdog its okay-’*
“How much of the conversation did you hear?”
There was a pause at TJs end of the line
*'Cy can we talk about it?’*
“No i cant believe this is happening”
I hung up, much to Andis dismay
“Cyrus its okay he didnt seem upset”
“Thats because we didn’t see his initial reaction”
“Cyrus please calm down.”
“I can’t! He just heard me say that I am in LOVE with him. He wasn’t meant to know how I felt yet”
“But now that he does you have to face it. Look he’s calling back. Answer it and talk to him”
I looked over at my phone, which was screen up on the bed. My screen was on with TJs name lit up across it
I grabbed the phone and stared at it.
I shook my head and hit decline. Staring at the screen. It lit up again, with TJs name. I hit decline again
“Andi you should go… im sorry I just i need to be alone for a little while”
“Okay.. im really sorry Cy. I hope everything goes okay”
I waved bye and watched as she walked away. I heard her tell my mom goodbye and the front door click open and shut.
As soon as I heard the door shut i broke down in tears. I grabbed my blanket and sat myself on the floor in my closet. Wrapping myself up in the blankets and closing the closet door before leaning against the corner.
I was on there for awhile when i heard a knock on my bedroom door.
“Im not hungry mom thank you”
I heard my door open and shut and stayed in the corner of my closet.
“Cyrus seriously. I want to talk to you”
I hesitated for a second before finally opening the door.
“Cyrus come on, come out”
“Cyrus I will drag you out”
I sighed and stepped out of the closet, seeing myself in the mirror hanging on my door. My eyes were all red and puffy. I looked at TJ, he was wearing sweatpants and and a tshirt.
Neither of us said anything. And i kept my gaze to the floor.
“Why are you sorry? I was the one sitting on the phone and listening to your conversation”
“I didnt mean for you to hear. I didnt want things to change… and now… ive ruined everything..”
“Cyrus, you didnt ruin anything.. Look I heard what you said. But thats just insecurity talking..”
“No its not- its reality.. you don’t like me you dont have to pretend to spare my feelings”
I looked up at him confused.
“I do like you. I have for awhile.”
I stared at him, at a loss for words.
“I’m not pretending Cy. Youre my best friend. Youre kind, youre funny, youre completely adorable how could i not fall in love with you”
I wiped my eyes and TJ took hold of my hand.
“I don’t know what to say..”
TJ smiled at me and pulled me in for a hug. The best thing about hugging someone taller than you is that you feel safe.
“What does that make us?” i mumbled into his shirt.
“Well.. I was wondering if you would like to go on a date.. and p-possibly we could be boy-boyfriends?” TJ sounded really flustered
I giggled into his shirt, it was both funny and cute hearing bold, confident TJ sound so nervous and flustered
“Is that a no?” He sounded disappointed and confused.
“You could be pretty oblivious sometimes”
“I would love to go on a date with you”
“What about the boyfriends thing?”
