Okay I don't know if you'll believe me on this, but I watched this episode earlier wondering what would it be like if the subtext was just in the text and Cyrus and TJ had time to talk about the costumes before Kira showed up. And the convesation I imagined was one where TJ avoided saying the problem directly, Cyrus realizes he didn't want to look like a couple and is the one to say it out loud, TJ seeming scared by the prospect, Cyrus not seeing the issue because "People know you, no one would've seen it that way," which is how he figures out the reason TJ isn't confident he'll still appear straight to his peers is because he actually isn't.
And then I go on AO3 and the fic already exists?? Like beat for beat?? My mind is blown.
