Fake our way to love- chapter 1
TJ was nervous.
Well, of course he was nervous, what he was about to do was incredibly dangerous. And incredibly stupid. Honestly, he was kind of afraid for his life.
He should be afraid for his life, because Buffy Driscoll could kill him -and everyone else she hates- if she wanted to. And oh, she definitely wanted to kill him.
Since the moment they met, TJ has been nothing but a jerk to Buffy.
Constantly bullying her just for being a girl, never giving her the balls in games. She had every right to hate him.
TJ never really had anything against Buffy, he just did what people expected him to do. He actually thought Buffy seemed rather nice, and that she was a really good basketball player- something he could definitely use, because if he was being honest, the basketball team was a complete disaster.
But of course he ruined any chance he had at being friends with her the moment he told her she'll never be his teammate. Which of course, she end up being- but still, it doesn't really feel like it because he never pass her the ball.
But it was all (hopefully) about to change. If Buffy agree to his deal, he'll pass her the ball anytime she wants. She could be the new team captain, for all he cares. All that matters is that she'll say yes.
Which she probably won't. But it's worth a shot, right?
Buffy walked into the basketball court and TJ made his way to her hesitantly.
"Ummm... Hey, Buffy, can we talk?" He asked nervously
Buffy eyed him suspiciously before she shrugged
"So uh... Ok, this is kind of hard for me to say. Please at least consider it, ok? And don't tell anyone!" TJ warned
"What is it about, Kippen?" Buffy seemed annoyed
"I need you to be my girlfriend." He blurted
Buffy's eyes widened and TJ hurried up to explain
"Not actually my girlfriend! Just... Pretend to be my girlfriend."
Buffy snapped out of her shock quickly and folded her arms "and why the hell would I do that?"
"Because I'll pass you the ball in every game and tell the other teammates to do the same." TJ said without missing a beat
Buffy blinked. "Why do you need a fake girlfriend, anyways?"
"I'll only tell you if you'll agree." TJ folded his arm
Buffy thought about it for a few seconds, and than sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine. But if the reason isn't good enough, I'm cutting off the deal. But I won't tell anyone you asked me, or the reason. Maybe I'll tell the reason if it's some dirty funny secret about you, but I won't tell them how I found out about it."
TJ blinked. That was a way better compromise than he thought he'll get.
He nodded. "Ok. I'll tell you why after practice, I just don't want anyone to hear."
Buffy looked suspicious again "is it like something really bad? Or are you just tricking me?"
TJ's eyes widened "no!" Buffy raised an eyebrow at how squeaky hus voice sound, and he cleared his throat. "I mean, no, it's not a trick and it's not anything really bad. At least, I hope it doesn't count bad." God, he really hoped it doesn't count bad.
Buffy still looked suspicious but mumbled a 'fine' and went to the middle of the court.
Just then, one of his teammates, Jason, has arrived.
"Dude, what were you doing talking to this Buffy chick? Holy shit, do you have a thing for her or something?" Jason asked with wide eyes
TJ took a deep breath. Well, I guess it starts now, was the last thought going through his head before he spoke: "yeah, man. I mean, she's pretty hot. And I think she's up for it."
Jason eyes widened even more, but he grinned as he said: "dude, that's awesome! We all wondered when you'll finally get a girlfriend! I guess that's mean we should pass her the ball now?"
TJ shrugged "depends on how it goes. We're going to talk after practice, so I'll tell you after if it works out."
Jason nodded, still grinning "yeah, ok, totally. Is it ok if I tell the other guys? I mean, I know Leo though about asking her out, so we should probably tell him so he'll know she's yours. I mean, even if she'll say no, he can't ask her since you did first."
TJ internally cringed when Jason said Buffy was his. Even if we were really dating she wouldn't be my property, he thought, but he just smiled and nodded.
----------
After practice, TJ fidgeted while he was waiting for Buffy.
He was so nervous, both from telling Buffy, and from actually saying this words out loud.
Yes, TJ admitted it to himself a while ago, but it really wasn't that long ago (although deep down he always kinda knew) and he never said this words out loud. He never even told his sister.
To be honest, he found it quite funny that the girl he was bullying was the first person he come out to. And kinda sad, too. But he really hoped she'll react well and won't make him regard telling her.
Buffy narrowed her eyes as she walked towards TJ.
"Well, Kippen, what is it? I don't have all day. Unlike you, I actually have friends to hang out with."
TJ couldn't deny hearing this words hurted him, because he knew they were the truth. But he shrugged it off.
"Driscoll- urgh, Buffy, I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend because-" TJ took a deep breath "I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend because I'm gay."
That's it. He said the words out loud for the first time.
He looked up to Buffy to see her reaction, and his eyes met her wide eyes.
He waited a few seconds for her to speak but she didn't say anything.
"So, uh-" TJ stumbled awkwardly "I kind of have to go- you know, to get food. Before people eat all the good stuff, so uh- yeah. Bye." He finished lamely
Just as TJ turned around, he heard Buffy calling for him.
"TJ, wait!"
He couldn't hide his suprise as he turned to look at her, and saw she was still a bit shocked, but her look softened. He couldn't hide his suprise about how soft her eyes were, too.
"Are you serious? Like, are you really gay or is this some type of weird joke?" She asked
TJ shook his head "no. It's real. I'm really... It's real."
"And you need a girlfriend so people won't find out?" Buffy asked softly
TJ nodded, still shocked about how soft her eyes were, and about the fact she figured it out so quickly.
"Yeah. The guys on the team... They always ask me when am I finally going to get a girlfriend, you know, since I'm the captain of the basketball team and I'm popular and all that and of course hot girls will like to go out with the basketball team captain- and anyone on the team. But especially the captain. And they know that some girls asked me out, but that I always turn them down. And you know, some of those girls are really nice, and I sometimes wonder if I should say yes, but I know it won't be fair for them, since I'll never feel the same way."
TJ didn't know why he was telling her all that. Maybe it was from relief, that he can finally talk to someone about this. About him being gay. Because he never talked to anyone about this. Or maybe, it was because Buffy was looking at him so softly. And maybe it was both.
And maybe it was just because he needed to convince her to play along. But something inside of him told him it was more than just that. He wouldn't have told her all of this just to convince her.
Buffy looked at him, like she was encouraging him to keep talking. So he did.
"Some of the guys already joked about me being gay, and I know its a joke, but I just want them to stop before they realise I'm actually gay. And of course I'll tell them one day. It's just... Not my time."
It's only when he said that TJ know he was right. It's not his time. Not yet. But one day it will be. Something inside of him told him that and he felt like it was the truth.
Buffy took a deep breath and then look at him straight in the eye.
"Ok. Let's do this."
TJ's eyes widened. He was not expecting that.
"W- what?" What are you talking about? Why would you agree?
"Yeah, I'll do it. I get it. It's a good reason. I might don't like you, but nobody should feel afraid about their sexuality. If it'll help you coming out in the future, I guess I owe you that. So, let's meet tomorrow at lunch and talk about it?" Buffy answered, her expression unreadable.
TJ blinked, and then nodded like an idiot.
He waited until Buffy walked away to bang his head against the wall. He couldn't be so lucky. He just couldn't. He never was.
And he couldn't believe Buffy actually agreed.
He honestly didn't thought about an option where Buffy agree, and he didn't know what to do now. He only thought about an option where she said no, and didn't tell anyone, and an option where she said no and told everyone and he was completely humiliated.
But Buffy seemed to have some sort of soft spot for that kind of stuff. And he was lucky she did.
Well, he thought, tomorrow will be a life changing day.

Punch Bowl ||An Andi Mack Fic|| (CW Homophobia)
Quick Shoutout to @abg-blah​ and @luzawithoutu​ for providing me with motivation, and to @dumb-binch-juice​ for providing me with inspiration
"Cyrus, please DON'T wear a tux to homecoming."
“Please, wear a tux,” TJ countered, giving Buffy a pointed look before turning to his boyfriend with a smile. Cyrus looked amazing. It was like the universe had decided that Cyrus should be able to look both handsome and comfortable in formalwear. He wasn’t so lucky. The shoulders of his suit jacket were awkwardly tight, and he was pretty sure that his socks hadn’t shown this much when he wore this last Homecoming.
“It’s too formal,” Buffy pleaded. “I’d go with the blue suit. Why stray from a classic? Plus, you just had it tailored. It would be a shame for that to go to waste.”
“But the tux makes a statement.”
“Yeah it does. ‘I’m too good for normal dress clothes’”
“Which you are. Don't let her undermine your confidence.”
Cyrus drew his hands up dramatically, cutting them off mid-argument.
“Dearest and most beloved advisors, I have come to my conclusion. Before I state it, I must say, I love you both in equal, though different measures. That being said, Buffy is right. It’s just a little too much. Don’t worry, Teej, I’ll rock the tux for next year’s prom.”
He jumped onto the bed, and quickly kissed TJ on the cheek before walking back into his closet.
“Gross,” Buffy teased.
As the closet door clicked shut, a series of sharp knocks came from the door to Cyrus’ room, followed by Marty’s muffled voice. “Hey, guys? Are you done in there? Jonah and Lenni are here, and they’re starting to think that Buffy killed TJ. Which you didn’t, right?”
Buffy smirked and gave TJ a playful shove before going to open the door.
“Not yet. I could never do that to Cyrus.”
“More like you couldn’t do it, period, Driscoll.” TJ shot back.
“Can you guys please make it through one night without bickering?”
“No.” They replied in unison before bursting into laughter.
Being friends with Buffy was great, but ever since she and Marty had started the whole 'being straightforward' thing she'd needed someone else for verbal sparring. And joking with her kept TJ on his toes. It was nice to know that he still had his sharp tongue, even if he rarely used it. Marty and Jonah were fun, but sometimes a bit witless. Buffy was anything but.
The pre-Homecoming dinner at the Goodmans' was just as good as the year before, if not better. Cyrus' dad always went all out when his son had friends over. And even if the meal still devolved into Jonah and Lenni heating up hot pockets and seeing who could eat the most of them without burning themselves, TJ was happy to spend the time surrounded by his friends and his boyfriend.
By the time the group split up between TJ and Buffy's cars, TJ was already getting snaps of the dance from Chet and William. He put his phone down as Cyrus and Jonah climbed into the backseat, leaving him alone up front. He stared at the two of them, as the awkwardness seeped in.
"So no one wants shotgun, huh?" TJ deadpanned.
"I mean, I was going to," Jonah explained, "but then I thought Cyrus might want to, and then-"
"I just know that the passenger seat is the least safe one in the car." Cyrus stated. "And I do trust your driving skills, but I don't necessarily trust everyone else on the road."
"Oh, so if I die, I'm dying alone, gotcha. Since that's cleared up, Jonah, do you wanna ride shotgun."
"Risk of death, let's goooo!" Jonah shouted, climbing over the passenger seat.
"See," TJ said as he pulled into the Grant High parking lot, "no fatal accidents."
“Told you I trusted you.” Cyrus
The dance was already in full swing as they entered the overcrowded gymnasium. A swarm of students surrounded the DJ booth, while others milled about between the snacks and the neatly decorated tables.
“Isn’t this amazing?”
Cyrus sighed as he took it all in. He and the other class reps had worked really hard to make sure that the dance went flawlessly, and judging by the look on his boyfriend’s face, TJ believed they’d succeeded. The junior class rep, Avery, TJ thought, waved Cyrus over towards the punch bowl. Cyrus looked cautiously between her and his friends.
“Can I just -”
“It’s fine.” Buffy interrupted. “Go talk to her, grab some punch and then meet us on the dancefloor.”
Buffy, as it turned out was a very good dancer. TJ didn't think he was abysmal himself, but he certainly wouldn't have managed half as well if she hadn't been by his side. They slid this way to that beat, as they ran into Jonah again. They made a turn at that moment because it seemed to fit just right, and Buffy broke off from him to join Marty. TJ spun into the guys from the team before Lenni pulled him back towards the others. The energy between the five of them was electrifying. TJ wasn’t sure how much time had passed before they settled with just bouncing in the crowd of Grant High students.
“Okay, Buffy,” Lenni huffed, “we get it. You’re tireless. But some of us would rather just watch someone else dance for a change. In your car you were talking about the Cyrus Shuffle. What even is that?”
Buffy’s laugh was almost drowned out by the sound of the crowd.
“It’s whatever dance moves Cyrus throws together whenever he says he’s gonna do the Cyrus Shuffle.”
TJ picked up after her.
“Each one is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You have to see it. He should be back any second now, unless-” He turned back to Buffy, who was already giving him her ‘I know exactly what’s happening’ smile. They had left Cyrus with Avery, another huge nerd. They’d almost definitely started seventeen different tangent conversations, and if no one interrupted them the class reps would probably spend the whole dance talking about chemistry or exam prep. One of them would have to get Cyrus.
“You’re his boyfriend,” Buffy said quickly. “You go get him.”
“You just want to kiss Marty while I’m not around to make fun of you.”
TJ didn’t catch her reply as he turned and tried to make his way through the crowd. Now that he was trying to get out, he realized that making people move was so much harder than he remembered it being. Even last year, people still had given him a bit of precautionary space, and sure, it had stung, but it had also been useful. He pushed the thought out of his mind as he slid between flying elbows. He was nice now. He had been for two years. It made sense that people would feel at least comfortable around him. And if that feeling came with feeling small and cramped sometimes, so be it.
Finally, he made it out of the crush of bodies. Relief crashed over him with a wave of cooler air, but the jostling of the crowd still left him a bit on edge. TJ took a moment to get his bearings before heading towards the punch bowl. He spotted Cyrus’ familiar blue suit from across the room, and immediately he felt more relaxed. It took him another moment to realize that something was wrong.
Avery was nowhere in sight, and Cyrus was shifting from foot to foot like he was ready to bolt at a moment’s notice. He was talking to someone who TJ couldn’t quite make out in the dim gymnasium light. TJ nearly sprinted past the tables to get to Cyrus. And as he got close, he recognized Ethan practically towering over his boyfriend. He felt himself go cold, hot, then cold again as he stalked toward the senior.
TJ was sick of him. Ethan had been a jerk to Cyrus before. He’d done horrible things to Chet’s sister Charlotte. Cyrus had tried reporting the guy last year, but despite the school’s zero tolerance policy for bullying, Ethan was still around. And now he was screwing with Cyrus again. TJ interrupted whatever insulting comment Ethan was making as he made it to the punch bowl.
“Don’t you have anywhere else to be? Or did your soccer buddies’ house party get busted?”
That was nice enough. He hadn’t outright insulted Ethan, which was good. Civility wasn’t his strong suit.
“I was just swinging by to my last ever HoCo,” Ethan replied. He flashed a toothy sneer that made TJ’s skin crawl. “And then I saw your little boyfriend here, and I couldn’t help but share a little senior wisdom.”
“Can we just go?” Cyrus suggested before freezing again when Ethan turned his attention back to him.
“No.” The way Ethan spoke made it seem more like a fact than anything else. Cyrus shrank back even further, and TJ tasted metal in his mouth.
“Ethan’s right,” TJ said. He felt like he wasn’t the one speaking. His voice was surprisingly level, even as his nails began to dig into his palms and a painful heat began to spread from the pit of his stomach. Whatever force was carrying him continued. “I’d personally love to hear what an idiot calls wisdom.”
“It’s easy, kids. Homecoming is for normal people. And that’s not you guys. I don’t care if you do the whole gay thing. But not at my homecoming. So get lost,” He shoved Cyrus towards the door, and muttered something under his breath that made Cyrus wince. Adrenaline and panic spiked in a moment of white-hot fury and-
“TJ, are you okay!”
Cyrus’ voice connected through the haze, and TJ felt himself slowly becoming a person again. He tasted blood in his mouth, and his face was still burning with wildfire. He realized he was on his back. His head hurt. His chest hurt. His hands hurt worst of all. He looked to find blood on his knuckles and under his fingernails. Then, he saw Cyrus standing worriedly above him, right next to Principal Donaghue, whose face was set in an unforgiving line.
“Mr. Kippen, I must ask you to leave the premises immediately. We will be discussing disciplinary actions Monday.”
The next few moments still felt like a dream. Cyrus was still looking at him with that concern, or maybe it was fear, as Buffy seemed to materialize to help him to his feet. The next thing he knew he was lying on his back, on the football field, in the chilly October night. Buffy was resting on his left, either unaware or uncaring of the grass stains on her dress. Cyrus was sitting on his right, more contemplative than concerned.
“I’m sorry.” TJ offered, eyes fixed on the night sky.
“Well,” Cyrus supplied tentatively, “This isn’t my first run in with school administration. I just haven’t been kicked out of a dance before.”
“I’m so sorry,” TJ repeated, thinking back to the look of shock on Ethan’s face when he leapt forward to punch the senior.
“I never meant to actually-- It was just so-- And he was-- I’m sorry. For ruining our night.”
Buffy laughed, and a plume of fog erupted with it.
"Congratulations, Blood-Nose, you are officially the loose cannon of Grant High's sophomore class, again." She paused, weighing her words, before continuing. “Besides, that Ethan guy had it coming. I’m actually a little bit jealous I missed the action. He’s one of those very punchable people. Right, Cyrus?”
Cyrus’s breath steamed in the silence. A moment passed, then another, and TJ’s heart clenched as Cyrus finally spoke.
"You are a great guy, TJ, and I know that. And I should’ve spoken up more to stop that from happening. But you’re still you. You’re headstrong and brave, and remarkably kind. But, sometimes, you remind people why they used to fear you. And that’s not a bad thing, as long as they know they don’t have to anymore. I know I don’t. I just love you. So, I will see you either after detention, or at your house if you get suspended. But tonight-"
Cyrus kissed him, and TJ was still scared. He was scared about what repercussions would come on Monday. He was scared about telling his parents what had happened that night. He was scared about all the rumors that were probably already spreading through the sophomore class. But for once, he wasn’t scared of himself. And for ten seconds he let himself enjoy that. Until Buffy said, “Gross,” and the three of them collapsed in crazy stressed laughter.

tired? nope
Dedicated to @thegoodmantj because his writing inspires me to write and he is so amazing. He deserves everything good in this world <3
Buffy and TJ are hanging out to make plans for future basketball games as team captains and making sure schedules don’t clash with each other.
As such Marty and Cyrus start sticking together during the sports craze of their respective partners.
“Has she been sleeping?” “Nope! I’ve never seen her drink so much coffee...what about TJ?” “He was proud to get 3 hours and I have worry”
Simultaneous smiles when their partners walk out of the coaches room with exhausted faces.
Getting hugs from their mumbly, tired basketball obsessed partners nearly falling asleep on them is a chore to get them to their parents cars.
Mrs. Kippen always rolls her eyes and quietly thanks Cyrus when TJ falls asleep on him in the car on the way home.
Buffy will try to talk to her dad but gradually drift off and Marty has had to shift a few times so she gets in the most comfortable conversation.
Marty and Cyrus will send each other pictures if either TJ or Buffy end up in a weird position after getting into bed right before they leave.
Sometimes if they feed TJ or Buffy sugar when they are really tired one of them will start rambling about oh my gosh babe you look so good right now and i love love love your smile or just gushing about everything they love about their partner.
Basically Marty and Cyrus have a love hate relationship with basketball season but the pictures and cuddles are always worth it. 
Bonus: On the rare occasions that Cyrus and Marty are really tired TJ and Buffy will give piggyback rides and have them lean on them. Cyrus will sleepily talk about his day and yawn every five seconds while Marty tries very hard to walk but ends up leaning on her pointing out the randomest things about things around them. Ex: “BUFFY THATS A FEATHER”

buffy&tj friendship headcanons !
thank you! :) love their friendship
They almost always call each other by their last names for fun. The only time they don’t is when one of them is upset/struggling with something. After that, they drop all the banter and have deep heart to hearts. 
Buffy is surprisingly soft around TJ when he’s having issues, especially with math. Once, he has a major breakdown after class, and Buffy is the first one to find him. She comforts him and calms him down, then offers to help him with math. 
They love just hanging out and playing basketball in the park together. Sometimes, they play one on one, and other times they play silly games like HORSE. 
Buffy becomes best friends with TJ’s mom. Sometimes, TJ won’t even invite Buffy over, and he’ll find her just helping his mom out with random stuff. 
They go to the rage room together because it’s awesome to smash stuff and helps clear stress. 
Even though they’re now on separate teams, they always go to each other’s games to support each other. 
When they see each other in the halls, they give each other fist bumps or high fives. 
TJ starts getting more interested in other hobbies such as history and literature. Buffy completely supports his new hobbies and buys him a bunch books for his birthday. 
If anyone even thinks of messing with TJ, Buffy is there to defend him and vice versa. 
TJ and Buffy start going on early morning runs together before school. They sometimes finish the run at Starbucks and pick up coffee and food for themselves and their friends. 
The only time they text each other is for something really important or something really stupid, there’s no in between. For example, TJ always sends Buffy the dumbest memes that make her snort. 
Sometimes, at three am, they’ll both be awake and text each other completely random, sleep deprived stuff that doesn’t make sense in the morning. 
TJ does a lot of Cringey White Boy Stuff which drives Buffy absolutely insane. 
They love playing video games together. Buffy always dominates him in anything they play. 
Send me andi mack headcanon prompts!

“If you’re looking for a captain, her name is Buffy Driscoll.
Gonna start a girls team and make that ish official.
Steal your ball so fast that you’ll wanna bring police in.
Tell them it got taken like she’s Liam Neeson.
The slickest, sickest, quickest, the most wicked in the world.
Used to hate her, instigate her. Told her ‘Good job, for a girl’.
I didn’t wanna hear it but she taught me all the same.
If you wanna change the world, then you gotta change the game.”
Thelonious Jagger Kippen, 2018.
