Cyrus wants you so bad.

Ever since you were first introduced to the friend group by his best friend, Lio, he’s always wanted you in one way or another.

Which is why it was so incredibly soul-crushing when said best friend confessed to having a crush on you.

It was random, and completely unexpected. They were simply chilling at the skate park when Lio confessed to that. And Cyrus had no idea what to say. Lio has known you for longer, so who was he to get in the way of that?

No matter how much his heart clenched as he gave his friend a supportive pat on the back, Cyrus kept his feelings to himself. He loves you, yes, but he can’t possibly crush his best friend’s heart by also confessing he had a crush on you.

Plus, he’s sure that the two of you would be better off together, anyway.

So he simply just sits back and watches as Lio subtly drops more and more hints to you about his feelings. Using pickup lines that Cyrus told him, himself. It hurts, but he can deal with it.

It’s almost irritating how you seem so oblivious to Lio’s hints. That, or you’re not interested in him. And he should be damned for hoping that it’s the latter. For hoping that his best friend gets rejected so he can have you.

It’s selfish, and he knows it.

But how could he help it, when you’re literally the most stunning person he’s ever seen? Well, in his eyes, at least. That bright smile, perfect hair and shiny eyes.

He can just barely keep himself from making a move on you when you’re hanging out one on one. Sitting there, studying so diligently and silently.

He wants to cuddle you. Caress that pretty head of yours and kiss your cheeks.

Maybe even do more than that.. But he knows he shouldn’t let his mind go that far.

Not when his best friend still has feelings for you. He can’t bring himself to think such things without feeling guilty. You’re off-limits.

So he just sits there in silence, watching as you study.

Longing to reach out to you and confess. Yet he just sits there-

Wishing you weren’t so forbidden.
