As the number of losers began to increase at Playa des Losers it seemed to become more obvious that friendships were easier to form here then when they were competing against each other at Camp Wawanakwa. One such example of this would be with Noah and Cody. Despite barely even acknowledging each other when they were both still on the show, not including a certain kiss during the Awake-a-thon, by the time Cody had been at the resort for a good week or so they seemed to be on good terms with each other. It had started with Cody asking Noah about the book he was reading and before either of them knew it they had been in a deep conversation regarding video games. From that day on despite not really being "friends" the two had become close acquaintances.

Of course neither of them had expected something like this to happen.

It had started as something innocent; they had been playing a video game Noah had downloaded on his laptop, occasionally making jokes and sarcastic comments about the low quality graphics and shoddy sound effects. Somewhere along the line, Noah made a comment that was barely remembered in the moments afterwards, the words remaining as only a dull buzz in their memories. Despite that it somehow managed to trigger something. From then on everything was a blur of hungry kisses, gripping at clothes and hair and skin brushing against skin.

In almost an instant they were laying in the bed next to each other, their arms plastered to their sides and staring up at the ceiling with wide eyes filled with disbelief. A thin sheet was all that was covering their bodies and the smell of sex hung in the air.

Releasing a shaky breath Cody turned his head "Noah…" the tan boy turned his own head to look at him "what did we just do?"

Noah was silent for a few moments. No snide comments of "What do you think moron, we just had sex!" or "What does it look like brainiac?" for once it seemed like the cocky genius had nothing to say. His mind rattled for an answer for what seemed like hours before he fully turned on his side to face the other teen better "I'm…not really sure."

An awkward silence filled the room. A mix of emotions seemed to be running through the both of them: confusion, shame, fear, possibly even lust. Neither was sure what to think of the situation. It wasn't surprising either, they never thought they would find themselves in a situation like this.

Cody had never even considered himself anything close to gay. For as long as he could remember he always liked girls, why else would he have flirted with Gwen or the other girls he had met in his lifetime? And yet in less than a day he had not only lost his first real kiss to Noah, but his virginity as well. He knew he should feel angry, disgusted even. He should be leaping from the bed, furious at the other boy and yet he found himself unable to move, still in shock.

Noah on the other hand had never considered himself much of anything. He hadn't really shown an interest in dating or having a relationship with anyone, man or woman. Sure he had questioned his sexuality at times, what teenager hasn't, but he had always chalked it up to just not finding the right person. He was supposed to be a genius and yet staring into those blue-green eyes he found himself dumbstruck, unsure of what to think.

Cody bit his lip before speaking "Maybe we should forget about this? Like that kiss at camp?"

Somehow hearing that felt like a spear going through Noah's heart. Did he really want to forget about it? He knew they both felt like they had done something wrong, yet at the same time they had shared something special – could they really just pretend in never happened and pick up where things left off? Noah looked away "Do you want to forget about it?"

"I…I'm not that sure. Doesn't it feel wrong?"

Noah shrugged a little "Doesn't feel wrong to me, what about you?"

Time seemed to stop at that moment for Cody. His first impulse was to say that of course it felt wrong, they weren't even friends and barely knew each other yet here they were, in bed together after being as close as two men can get. Another thought stopped this one from coming out though. Would it be so bad? Would it really be so terrible if Noah was the one who held him, kissed him and liked – possibly even loved – him? Was the thought of being with another boy so disgusting that he could really disregard what happened between them and go on with life? Being with Noah felt nice, maybe there could be something between them. Cody's eyes met with Noah's "No, it doesn't feel wrong." he took another shaky breath "Maybe…this isn't as bad as we thought."

Noah arched an eyebrow, his features almost showing complete disbelief "Are you saying that we should actually enter a serious relationship?"

The smaller brunette nodded meekly, almost certain his suggestion would be met with hostility. As Noah shifted his body so that he was hovering over Cody's body his heart began to race. Before he could say anything the other boy's lips merged with his in a slow, soft kiss.

Breaking away Noah smirked against his mouth "Maybe you're smarter than I originally thought."


Originally this started as a cracky idea I came up with on a whim that made me laugh like crazy, then after talking about it with a friend of mine I decided to put it into the 30 Kisses, and it managed being the first one completed!

Of course now I'm scared shitless that it's OOC, if it is someone please tell me if it is and what I could do to fix it o_o I would think they would act this way being in complete and total shock, but I'm still paranoid.

Kind of sad to see it looks shorter here than on my MSWord document though...sigh.
