Why does this F sharp suspended 2 not sound major or minor?

Both pictures are F sharp, G sharp, and C sharp. There is no A sharp and no A, so this is not F sharp major and not F sharp minor. G sharp is the extra note (a 2nd). The first picture has no barre and mutes two strings. The second picture bars fret 4. Same three notes. The barre shape is higher.

If the F sharp suspended 2 in a song sounds higher than the first picture, try the barre picture lower on this page.

On the first picture the G sharp is on the G string, fret 1, index finger. Play F sharp major after this and you will hear A sharp instead of G sharp. Play F sharp minor and you will hear A instead of G sharp.
