It was a Friday afternoon and TJ was getting ready for junior championships. He knew he wouldn't get much practice next week so he invited the team for an open practice from 2:45 - 8:00 at the highschool. He knew during breaks he would get bored so he also invited his own personal source of entertainment - Cyrus Goodman aka his boyfriend, aka his underdog, aka the love of his life - I'm getting carried away
--------------------------------------------------
"Alright line it up!" TJ said as he walked in to practice.
His fingers interlaced Cyrus' proudly and shameless. The team knew he was gay and supported him. They never looked at him sideways.
Cyrus went to go sit in the bleachers. He got caught up in a round of candy crush when he noticed her. Alexis had only come to the school three months ago and has already made her mark. She's been suspended twice...in her first week of school. Cyrus wondered why she was here. Her friends/robots were Korina and Claire the fighter and the cheating liar. Korina's first fight was in 4th grade Malinda Malcolm didn't know what was coming when she cut Korina in the lunch line - let's just say it wasn't just a bloody nose. In 5th grade finals week took place. The big test at the end of the year was always there to make the smart people look bad or start to brag. Claire didn't pay attention that year so...she cheated. But, she was caught by the administration. They needed allies to prove either her crime or innocence. She knew they would go against her so she paid the whole class off and Tristan Sipern had to repeat the whole 5th grade year in another district in another state.
The first break took place and the team hit the locker room to get water. TJ left his water and gym bag in Cyrus' protection.
Cyrus noticed the Alexis had walked to the other side of the gym where the dance team were practicing their spring showcase dance.
"There's my little cheerleader!" TJ said shaking Cyrus out of his thoughts.
"Hey babe, having fun?" said Cyrus.
"Totally, David dared Chris to ask out Jenny Fischer to the spring formal for 50 bucks. David should save his money Chris is so infatuated with that girl he'd do it for free," TJ laughed.
Cyrus was well into thought about Alexis being at the gym to notice he started to grip TJ's hand tighter. TJ definitely noticed.
"Hey underdog what's wrong?" TJ said.
"Alexis showed up out of nowhere and you know how she can be with her demanding ways and I just...," Cyrus trailed off.
"It's going to be ok she can't do anything to hurt you you know why?" asked TJ.
"Cause you are amazing with words, you wouldn't hurt a fly, and you always see the good in people...so even if she comes over you can kill her with kindness," said TJ.
"You always know what to say and for that and many other reasons I love you," Cyrus said smiling.
"I love you too," TJ said.
Cyrus pressed a kiss to TJ's lips and they just forgot where they were for a few minutes.
"Where the heck is TJ the break ended 5 minutes ago he was supposed to come in here and we were supposed to go over plays," said David.
"Chris and Ricki you two go look for him," said David taking charge.
Chris and Ricki trudged back to the empty court to see TJ and Cyrus kissing. They started to yell but, they weren't heard. So Chris had a fabulous Idea. He dug in the basketball bin to try and find a flat one to atleast not seriously injur the captain. Chris took the bright orange-red ball and aimed it perfectly.
"Ow! What the heck?!" yelled TJ.
"Come on Thelonious, I'm sure Cyrus' lips will still be warm when you get back," said Ricki smirking.
"How did you know?" said TJ stunned.
"There's this new invention called, a yearbook anyways let's go," said Ricki
TJ ran off to join his teammates and scold them for throwing a basketball at him.
To kill time Cyrus texted with Andi about her new multi-skills class at sava. After two hours the basketball team came to work on their plays. Then Alexis came back to the gym. She headed Cyrus' way. This was the one thing he feared. Behind Alexis of course was Korina and Claire.
The trio picked a spot relatively close to Cyrus. It was about ten minutes before any of them said a word.
"Omg Lex look it's TJ, or shall I say soon to be your man?" said Korina.
"I don't know...yesterday in Chemistry I dropped my pencil and he got it for me. He always says hi whenever I tell him hi. To top it all off he told me there is a party at Chad's this weekend," said Alexis.
"Omg, he really really likes you!" Claire laughed.
Cyrus laughed to himself...well so he thought.
"Something funny Goodman?" said Alexis.
"No not at all," said Cyrus looking down at his phone.
"Good because I see the way you look at TJ. You probably think you could marry him and have kids in the future. He might not even know you like him but, if you say anything he could. So don't look at him, think about him, or even dream about him and your secret is safe because TJ is mine," said Alexis in a stern voice.
Cyrus didn't listen to Alexis because TJ was Cyrus' property already. After the final minutes of practice TJ hustled to the bleachers to meet Cyrus. He was surprised about Alexis' appearance in the stands.
"Babe, the 2nd half of the last quarter was amazing skins totally dominated shirts," TJ said fired up.
"That's so good to hear!" said Alexis cutting off Cyrus before he got to speak.
TJ went in for a kiss to Cyrus' cheek before being interrupted.
"Hey thanks for picking up my pencil in class yesterday TJ," said Alexis.
TJ leaned in to Cyrus again for a quick peck. Claire noticed this and was about to warn Alexis about it but, couldn't find the time.
"Oh and thanks for telling me about chad's party this weekend," said Alexis smiling.
TJ and Cyrus walked out of the bleachers holding eachother's hands they were about to leave. Alexis ran after them trying to get TJ's attention once more.
Claire couldn't help herself when she yelled. The whole universe could hear her.
"TJ Kippen is gay!" Claire screamed.
The whole room turned to look at her and the team started laughing. They started to just die of laughter.
"Duh!!!" said six teammates.
The whole team pointed towards TJ and Cyrus holding hands still laughing.
Alexis stormed off embarassed.
