The Unwanted Answer
It wasn't long before Jonah was able to pinpoint the feeling that he was feeling towards Cyrus. It was the same one Cyrus was feeling towards someone else, TJ. He didn't want to go as far as saying he was in love with Cyrus, but he definitely had a huge crush on the boy. He sighed, his face buried into his pillow.
He had spent his day fiddling with his guitar and writing what came to mind. That led to his discovery of his feelings for Cyrus. He honestly didn't mean to fall for the boy, but no one really intends on falling for someone. It's just something that happens, which is probably why it's called falling.
He let out a groan and rolled onto his back, turning his attention to the ceiling. He had no clue what he was going to do. It's not like he could tell Cyrus, the boy was taken and would definitely not feel the same way.
Eventually, Jonah sat up. All this thinking was suffocating him and he needed to clear his head. He decided to go out for a walk. He took a quick shower before changing out of his pajamas. He walked to the closet by the door to grab a light jacket. He was putting on his shoes when his mother called for him.
"Jonah, sweetie, are you going somewhere?" Judy inquired. He noticed she was in the kitchen. "Are you not going to eat breakfast first?" He paused for a moment. Maybe breakfast wouldn't be a bad idea.
"I was just going to go for a walk, Ma, but I should probably eat first." Judy smiled at that and ushered the boy into the kitchen. Jonah quickly took his shoes back off before joining his mom in the kitchen. "Are you making something?" The woman smiled and nodded.
"Yes. I am making pancakes for breakfast. I'll eat with you, but after I have to get ready for work and head out. You can go for a walk after you've finished your breakfast." Jonah nodded and sat at the kitchen table. "Are you just going for a walk or are you going to go see someone?"
"I was kinda hoping not to run into anyone. I wanted to go on a walk to clear my head. Feels like my thoughts are moving a million miles a minute." He put his arms on the table, burying his head into them.
"What have you been thinking about?" Jonah sighed. He picked his head up and looked at his mom, who had her back turned to him.
"Well, there's this boy," Jonah paused. As far as his mom know he only liked girls. His eyes widened. He almost accidentally outed himself. "Well, you know Cyrus, he, uh...he got a boyfriend recently. I'm really happy for him." He softly bit his lower lip. If his mom had a problem with Cyrus having a boyfriend, she was probably homophobic, which meant she wouldn't except him. Judy stopped what she was doing and turned to face Jonah.
"Do you have a boyfriend, Jonah?" He wasn't expecting her to ask him that and said boy immediately shot up out of his seat.
"I-- what?!" He exclaimed. "No, I don't!" Judy however just sighed. She walked over to her son, gently running her thumb over his cheek.
"I was just asking. I didn't think it'd upset you this much. Cause, you know, you mentioned your friend's boyfriend so I thought..."
"I'm sorry, Mom. I just wasn't expecting that and I've been thinking a lot. I didn't mean to get upset at you." Judy just pulled the poor boy into a hug. When she pulled away, she placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.
"If I burnt the pancake, it's yours, sweetie." She smiled before walking back over to the store. Jonah gaped and let out an overly dramatic gasp.
"Wha-- hey! Mom!" This just pulled a giggle from the woman. Jonah rolled his eyes and sat back down. He let out a small chuckle of his own, however. "If it's been cooking this long, it's probably inedible." Judy just let out another laugh.
The two enjoyed their breakfast together happily. Jonah enjoyed spending time with his mom, she was a very sweet woman who always seemed to know the answer to his problems. Even if he knew his mom wouldn't be able to help him with the Cyrus thing, he knew she'd at least help him feel better about the situation.
After breakfast, his mom went to go get ready for work and Jonah went out to go for a walk. Ever since his interaction with his mom, he'd been wondering if she would be fine with him having a boyfriend. She asked it so causally, maybe she thought he was trying to come out by mentioning Cyrus had a boyfriend. It made sense, really. Jonah didn't exactly have the best dating history with girls and just causally mentioning how he's been thinking about how his friend got boyfriend seemed like the perfect set up for a coming out. He blushed at the thought. Him? A boyfriend? It seemed somewhat unreal to him, but there was now no question he liked guys as well.
Jonah spent his time walking through the park and observing the scenery. Maybe this whole Cyrus crush thing won't be so bad, and it appears as though coming out as bisexual to his mom won't be so hard either. He couldn't help but smile at that revelation. He was going to be fine.
