I didn't ask them and I don't make any money off this story it is just for the entertainment of getting to write it and for the readers. I don't own the original characters of the WWE. This story if pure fiction and Yaoi or slash, which is BoyxBoy, so if you hate that then don't read this.
My friend Peyton and I wrote this based off a RP we did so here it is. It has nothing to do with "Codes" and I'm not giving up on it, I will get back to it.
The young brunette sat huddled in the back of a small cage he'd known to become his home. He was dressed in tattered clothing, shaking, as he was very frightened when he heard footsteps.
A much older blonde walked down the dirty and slightly dark hallway leaning down looking into all the small cages with shaking children in the back of them. He tried to step quietly not to frighten them but gave up shaking his head and walks over to the next cage looking down into it.
The brunette tries to make himself look smaller, letting a few tears roll down his cheek and pulling his legs up to his chest.
As the blonde looked down into the cage seeing the shaking brunette and chuckles noticing how much smaller than all the others he was and feels sorry for the boy then leans up looking at the owner, "I want to see him." he says in a southern drawl.
The younger boy tries to scoot farther back into the corner still shaking with fear and crying. The last time he'd been bought hadn't gone well and he was sent back with several scars all over his body. He didn't want a repeat.
The owner opened the cage reaching in to pull the brunette out as the blonde stands back a satisfied smile on his face liking what he's seeing, "Come on boy." the mystery man said with irritation in his voice not wanting to have to have anything to do with the slaves.
The small brunette stands up shakily, afraid of disobeying and having to face the consequence of a lashing and wipes his eyes.
The older male walks around the boy looking him up and down them looks over at the other man grinning, "Am I allowed to touch him?"
The frightened boy winces at the question, having stopped his shaking, only to start again.
The man nodded smirking his old face wrinkling up, "Anything you want sire, he was kept pure." The blonde nodded smirking also but his younger face didn't wrinkle at all and it wasn't as creepy on him as he grabbed the boy's wrists pulling them above his head.
The brunette closes his eyes, clearly frightened, but tries to keep his tears concealed, gasping when his hands were yanked above him.
The blonde smirks again leaning down to be more level with the child and pulls up his shirt whispering, "What's your name, boy?" eyeing his body. The old owner chuckles clearly liking what he's seeing and hisses out, "He'll be anybody you want him to." the blonde shakes his head keeping his eyes on the child waiting on him to answer.
"C-Cody." the young boy chokes out, breathing heavily, frowning up at the old owner that still held his arms above his head.
The blonde chuckles and nods then turns toward the owner, "I want him."
Cody gulps, hoping that's he's dreaming but knowing that he's not and starts shaking again, whispering lowly to himself. "No...n-no no no.."
"Oh hush, kid." the younger man says and grabs a hold of his wrist then fixes his shirt as he hands the old man some cash and starts out the building with Cody.
Cody yelps and stumbles over his feet in fear, trying to keep up with the mans pace and begins to cry softly.
The older man quickly walks out of the slave house with his property stumbling behind him and he chuckles liking that Cody is afraid of him, getting a rush he hasn't had in a while.
The younger male finally gets caught up, keeping the pace the best he can and wipes his tears with his free hand.
The blonde notices that Cody finally caught up to his pace as he gets to his car opening the passenger door, "Get in and buckle your seat belt." he said lowly moving to the side of the boy.
The brunette takes a deep breath and hesitantly gets in the car, buckling up.
"Good boy." the blonde nods his head in approval then shuts the door and goes to get in on his side.
The boy clasps his hands still shaking slightly, afraid of what's going to happen when they get to the older mans house.
about a minute
The blonde gets in the car and starts toward his house glancing over at the boy, "So Cody, what are you suppose to call me?"
"M-master." Cody scoots back into the seat as if it would get him away from the stranger he was bought by.
"Alright, that'll be fine." the blonde nods again seeing that Cody is trying to get away from him and shakes his head pulling into his driveway.
Cody nods looking away still frightened, letting a few tears snake down his cheeks.
"My names is Ted though." the blonde, Ted, said as he got out of the car walking over to cody's side.
"O-okay." he nods and unbuckles his seat belt hesitantly.
Ted opens Cody's door and reaches in taking his wrist.
Cody slides out of the car, keeping his head down, looking at his feet.
Ted then shuts the door and walks up to his front door slower than he was and lets Cody in, "I'm gonna go a head and tell you there's no use trying to get out. You can't." he shuts his door and puts the code in, locking it back.
The small male nods, knowing if he tried, the consequences would be the same or worse as the ones his previous 'home' had. He wasn't planning on trying.
"Um well I guess I'll show you your room now." the taller bigger male said looking down at the small child before taking his wrist again and leading him upstairs.
The small male nods, knowing if he tried, the consequences would be the same or worse as the the ones his previous 'home' had. He wasn't planning on trying.
Cody nods and follows his master up the stairs, not shaking as much now as before.
Ted realizes that the boy is doing better with his nerves then opens a door, stepping aside, "This is your room and mine's right across the hall."
The young brunette nods stepping in reluctantly to his room and looks around, cracking a smile as he walks to the bed and plops down on it, sighing happily. He'd never Been able to sleep on a bed that was comfortable.
Ted smiles seeing that the boy likes his room, "We'll get you clothes tomorrow.
"Okay." Cody nods his frown coming back on instinct.
The blonde nods seeing the boy's frown, "I guess I'll go make dinner."
"A-aren't I supposed to be d-doing things for you..?" the boy hesitates before adding, "M-master."
The blonde turns back toward the boy and nods before saying, "Well if you can without accidentally or purposely burning the house down."
The boy blushes and shrugs. "I can't cook while I haven't had a bath in at least-" he blushes again. "uh, a long time..."
"Well lets get you bathed." Ted says going to his room to get the boy some clothes.
Cody nods and stands up waiting for Ted to come back From his room.
The blonde walks in with some underwear and a T-shirt that is too big for Cody then hands them to him.
The brunette takes them. "Wh-where is the bathroom?"
"This way." Ted leads him down the hall a little bit.
"okay" Cody follows behind the blonde.
The older man opens the door to the bathroom holding it so the brunette can go in the room.
The young boy walks into the bathroom.
"I'll wait for you downstairs. Don't try to hurt yourself." Ted said sternly. "Or should I stay?"
"O-okay." the boy had merely thought about drowning himself should he take a bath. He was so tired of having the life of a slave, and tried not to let the idea he ha show in his eyes as he started the bath and shrugged.
Ted walks into the bathroom and leans against the sink watching the boy, wondering what's going through his head.
"Y-you don't have to stay.." Cody looks away watching the bath fill up, hoping the older blonde would leave.
"I'm going to anyway. I can't trust you alone yet." he said looking the child over feeling sexual attraction toward the male.
Cody sighs and nods pulling off his shirt, feeling very shy and turns his back to the other male, blushing.
The blonde smirks seeing the younger's blush and continues to watch him closely.
Cody's oblivious to Ted watching him and Unbuttons his pants, pushing them down his legs, doing the same with his underwear.
Ted watches from the sink then gets the clothes he brought to him and lays them on the sink beside him.
The younger steps out of his pants and underwear, bending over slightly to turn the water off.
"Mm." the blonde bites his bottom lip to keep from making any noise when Cody bends over.
Cody then dips his hand in the water, making sure it isn't too hot while he's still bend over then stands up and blushes. "W-washcloth?"
Ted looks up at the boy's face then turns and gets some towels and a washcloth out of the cabinets handing them to the younger boy, "Here ya go."
"Thank you." the boy steps into the tub, sitting down and sighs happily. "Mm."
"You're welcome." Ted says leaning against the sink watching the boy again running his eyes up and down his body, taking in that he's extremely small and has bruises and scars on his body also that most of his bones are poking out.
Cody sits back, closing his eyes, enjoying the hot water. "I h-haven't had a hot bath since I was years old." he frowns remembering an unpleasant memory.
"Really?" Ted frowns also thinking of how horrible it must be and shakes his head, "A kid shouldn't be treated like that. You can take a bath anytime you want here."
Cody nods. "Nine years ago." he opens his baby blue eyes abruptly. "Thank you." he takes the washcloth, lathering it up in soap.
"You're welcome. Anything you need I'll get it for you." the blonde nods watching Cody as he takes a bath but not with sexual eyes but eyes that wants to help him.
Cody smiles slightly, beginning to trust the man that had bought him, but making sure not to jump right into fully trusting him. The young boy washed himself thoroughly then washes his hair.
The blonde continues to watch the boy then decides he can trust him a little, "I'm going down stairs but if you're not there in five minutes I'm coming back and things won't be pretty." he said sternly trying to get a point across to the child.
Cody barley listens but nods beginning to rinse his hair in the bath about to stand up and do the same in the shower.
Ted nods then goes out the door leaving it open and heads downstairs to sit on the couch.
Cody gets up, deciding against the idea of drowning himself that was still present in his mind and pulls the plug in the tub, turning on the shower and pulling the curtain closed.
The blonde sits down on the couch and turns on the tv trying to find something to watch.
Cody doesn't keep track of how much longer he has till he's supposed to be downstairs but takes his time rinsing his body and his hair.
Ted looks at his watch deciding to give Cody a little more time to himself before going up after him.
Cody cuts off the water stepping out and drying off, brushing his hand over a scar, remembering the horrid memory of how it came to rest upon his skin.
A few minutes later Ted gets up and goes up stairs, opening the door and sees that Cody's out of the tub and the look on his face, "Hey, you alright, kid?"
His head snaps towards Ted's voice and his hand falls away from a scar and nods pulling on the underwear ad shirt. "I'm sorry." he murmurs softly.
"It's alright." the male steps into the room slowly trying not to scare Cody, "Are you alright, Cody?" he asked seeing if using his name would help.
"I'm okay.. Master." he frowns looking away from the mirror and dropping his head.
Ted nods frowning, upset that Cody won't talk to him but he couldn't expect him to after all he's been through, "Well lets go downstairs."
The young brunette nods. "okay."
The blonde starts out of the bathroom going down stairs.
Cody follows after him then gets enough courage to catch Ted's hand with his own, feeling scared and helpless, needing reassurance, not sure if Ted would mind.
Ted walks down the hall, "You're a lot-" he cuts himself off when he feels the boy grab his hand and smiles wrapping his fingers around the younger boy's then continues, "uh a lot more behaved than I expected you to be."
The brunette feels relieved when his master doesn't pull his hand away. "I've learned the hard way to obey, no matter what." he indicates to his back where Ted had seen the scars when he was in the bath.
Ted frowned nodding, not promising him that he wouldn't hit him because he doesn't know if he can keep the promise. "Just be good Cody, and everything will workout fine he." they walk into the moderately new kitchen.
Cody nods not promising he'll be good, but not saying he won't.
Ted gently squeezes the boy's hand then let's it go and walks over to the fridge.
Cody lets go of his master's hand and watches him. "W-what can I do?"
"Uh, depends on what you want to eat." the blonde turns toward the boy.
"I'll eat anything." as if on cue his stomach rumbled. "I haven't been fed well in the past, so I eat whatever I can get.."
"Alright." Ted said frowning getting out meat and noodles then washes his hands and puts them on the stove, "You can make a salad if you want one."
Cody nods and drifts over to the sink, washing his hands also. "You want one?"
"Don't matter whatever you want." the blonde shrugged breaking the noodles in half.
He nods and gets out the lettuce. "C-can you hand me a knife? I w-won't cut myself on purpose..."
"You better not." the man said sternly then handed the boy a knife before going back to cooking the meat.
Cody nods again pushing away the thought of perhaps stabbing himself with the knife, then proceeded in cutting lettuce for two salads.
Ted keeps one eye on Cody and one on the food as he cooks and gets out some bread to put garlic on.
The smaller boy finishes cutting the lettuce then gets out a tomato, cutting it also.
The blonde puts the bread in the oven finishing up the other food.
Cody gave the knife a longing look as he dropped it into the sink, almost wishing he had the gut to finish the pain he was always in then turns around, placing the salad onto two plates.
"Hey Codes." Ted said when he sees the look the boy gives the knife, "Come here."
Cody walks over to his master and bites his lip. "Y-yes, master?"
"It's alright." the man says and slowly cups Cody's cheek gently moving his thumb back and forth as he looks down at the boy, "I know you've been through a lot and I don't just expect you to get over it but you're safe here you won't hurt and I can get you the help you need."
He frowns, looking down. "Help? What kind of help?"
Ted squats down in front of him so they'd be level, "Someone to talk to you that will understand what you've been through and be able to help you better than I can."
Cody shakes his head quickly. "N-no no no no no. I don't need anyone to help me." he backs away from Ted, stumbling over his own feet, talking quietly. "No one can understand what I've been through.." he turns and runs up the stairs, tears running down his cheeks.
"Cody you do." the man says softly standing up and slowly walks toward Cody, "look at yourself you're a nerves wreck I don't know that I'd ever be able to fix it alone."
Cody stops before running up the stairs. "No one will ever understand what I've been through!" he keeps crying then runs up to his room, slamming and locking the door.
"Cody!" Ted yells and turns the stove off then follows Cody up the stairs.
The young brunette falls onto the bed trying to stop crying but failing to do so, beginning to cough.
Ted knocks on the door gently, "Cody, open the door. You don't have to go."
Cody ignores the knocks, too upset to do anything and lies on the bed crying.
The blonde sighs and gets out his keys finding the one to that door, making a mental note to get another knob without a lock.
The smaller male nestles himself under the covers, still crying, and curls up into a ball.
Ted gets the door open the goes into the room then walks over to the bed siiting down but doesn't touch the boy so he would scare him.
Cody scoots away from Ted, turning his back to him.
"Cody, don't run from me." Ted says quietly not moving from the spot he's in.
He shakes his head. "P-please leave me alone."
"I'm just trying to help. You don't have to go talk to anyone."
Cody gives a small hiccup from his crying and shrugs.
The blonde sighs and looks down at his lap trying to decide if he should just give up.
The brunette frowns, knowing he was impossibly hard to work with and Ted would probably send him back to the ratty place he came from. Everyone always gave up on him. He could help he was a year old kid, ruined by an illegal slave company.
"Um, come downstairs and eat, will ya?" the blonde looks over at the boy, "I know you're hungry."
He shrugs and gets up reluctantly.
"It's alright, just to eat." Ted gets up and starts toward the door and looks back to see if COdy is coming.
Cody catches up to him and surprises himself when he hugs the older man. "I'm sorry.. I guess I'm just tired of life.."
"I understand." he says gently and soothingly hugging the younger male back rubbing his back, "Thing's will be different here."
The younger man nods and nestles his head against his masters chest drawing in a deep breath.
Ted keeps rubbing the boy's back and leans down gently kissing his hair when he nuzzles his head.
Cody seems startled by the caring act then calms back down, blushing when his stomach rumbles.
The blonde smiles down at his new possession, "Come on lets get you something to eat."
Cody smiles slightly up at his master. "Okay."
Ted moves his hand from the boy's back then around to take his hand before walking downstairs.
The young brunette takes teds hand squeezing it slightly and follows him downstairs.
He squeezes it back and takes the boy to the dining room.
Cody follows closely behind Ted, letting go of his hand so he can help set the table.
Ted starts getting the plates out.
Cody gets out silver wear.
Together they set the table and bring the food and drinks in.
When the table is set, Cody pulls out his master's chair for him then sits down in his own.
"Thank you." Ted says as he sits down, "Are you suppose to do that?"
Cody nods looking down at his food.
"Oh." Ted nods then motions with his hand toward the boy, "Go ahead and eat."
Cody hesitantly picks up his fork, afraid to eat the food in front of him, remembering something that happened once, his voice dropping, speaking quietly. "O-one of my previous owners... He wanted to have sex with me.. But I wouldn't do it. I was too young... When he knew force wouldnt work.. He put something in my food.. Made me feel out of it.. And..Tried to take me. But I was 'sober' enough to stop him.. So I'm not exactly eager to eat this food.. Thought my stomach says otherwise."
Ted frowns and shakes his head, "Cody, you was there the whole time I fixed it and I wouldn't hurt you. You can eat it, or if you'd rather you can throw it away and fix something else for you so you'll know it's okay to eat." he says gently and motions toward the kitchen so Cody will know he can fix him some more food.
Cody nods. "I know, I just can't help feeling paranoid." he shakes head. "No, that's okay." the brunette reluctantly takes a bite of his food, trying to show some restraint and manners.
"It's fine I want to earn your trust." he nods and starts to eat his food.
Cody begins to eat at a regular pace, smiling slightly. "This is good."
"Thanks." the blonde smiles and nods.
Cody finishes his food before long and gives a little burp then blushes. "Excuse me."
Ted chuckles and smiles, "It's alright. There's more if you want seconds." he says only halfway through his meal.
Cody shakes his head. "I'm actually full." He seems surprised at the feeling, always having to go to sleep on an empty stomach seemed routine for him.
"That's good." Ted nods finishing up his salad.
Cody yawns taking a sip of his drink.
"You can go on to bed if you'd like, I'll clean up down here."
"Okay. Thank you." Cody stands up, pushing his chair in and heading upstairs.
Ted nods then gets up and starts picking up the plates and cups taking them to the kitchen.
Cody walks into his room, laying down on the bed, hoping nightmares didn't make an appearance that night.
The blonde cleans up everything deciding to go check on the boy before he goes to bed himself.
The young brunette closes his eyes, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Ted finishes up then goes up the stairs turning off lights and steps into Cody's room to see if he's okay.
Cody whimpers softly, knowing that if he went to sleep, he'd have a bad dream like every night, but he'd been so tired.
The older man hears Cody whimper and walks up to his bed whispering, "Cody? Are you okay?"
The younger boy whimpers again, curling into the covers and shaking slightly.
"Cody, wake up." Ted says slightly louder and gently shakes the boy.
Cody jumps awake, eyes wide and notices he was having a nightmare. "I'm s-sorry."
"It's alright, you're alright." the blonde says gently, rubbing the boy's back.
Cody tenses when Ted rubs his back, where most of Codys scars reside then brushes it aside nodding.
Ted stops moving his hand when Cody tenses.
"S-sorry, my backs an.. Um.. Sensitive area.." he blushes.
"It's alright, I don't know any of this." Ted nods and moves his hand to the bed from the boy's back.
Cody nods and looks down. "Did you see them in the bathroom..?"
"I wasn't exactly looking at your back so I don't really know." he frowned wishing he would have payed more attention.
"Oh, what were you looking at?" Cody blushes thinking about showing Ted his back.
Ted thought for a minute, "Just you. I noticed how thin you are and I don't like it." he shakes his head.
"Oh." Cody nods, knowing he was quite thin from being neglected and sat up in the bed, his back still to Ted and pulled up his shirt so his master could see what all he'd been through.
Ted gasps and puts his hand up as if to touch the boy before dropping it back to the bed frowning, "Cody you poor.." he trails off.
A sad look appears on the young boys face and he pulls his shirt back down, taking a deep breath and nodding.
The man frowns more seeing how sad the boy is.
Cody turns around, unable to meet Ted's eyes, and curls back up into a ball, lying down.
"I'm sorry you had to go through all of that," he gently puts his hand on Cody's arm.
Cody shrugs and sighs. "Why did you want a slave?"
The blonde sighed and shrugged, "I don't know."
"So you could fuck them?" Cody looks away. "Find some poor kid and fuck his brains out? Then take him back?"
"No." Ted said shaking his head, "Of course not. My friend has one and he helped him and they're together and I wanted to do the same then when I saw you I just couldn't leave you there."
Cody nods and turns his head away mumbling to himself. "Not that I'd mind.."
"What?" the blonde asked leaning a little closer to Cody.
"Nothing." Cody shakes his head, knowing good and well Ted could've heard him if he wanted to.
Ted nods and sits up, "I guess I'll go to bed so you can go back to sleep."
"W-wait.. I-I'm afr-" Cody shakes his head, not completing what he had to say then nods sadly.
"What is it?" the blonde scoots a little closer not getting up.
"Me acting like a child." he shakes his head. "Nevermind.."
Ted rubs the boy's side gently, "You are a child so you can act like one. Are you scared?" he asks quietly, trying to get it out of him.
"I'm sixteen. I'm not supposed to act like a child." he sighs quietly and nods. "I'm terrified."
"But you never got to act like a child when you was one." he frowns and nods, rubbing his side more, "Do you want me to stay till you fall asleep?"
Cody nods, laying down. "P-please."
Ted nods, "I will." he smiles and continues to rub the boy's side, sitting with him.
The young boy closes his eyes, nuzzling his head on the pillow.
The blonde keeps rubbing the boy's side and leans on his other hand a little trying to get comfortable.
Cody sprawls out, rolling into his stomach and yawning.
Ted goes to gently rubbing his back but tries not to touch it too much.
Cody mumbles softly, "You can touch it. It doesn't hurt physically.. Just.."
"I don't want you to be uncomfortable." he whispers still trying not to touch the boy's back too much as he rubs it.
The brunette shakes his head, half way asleep. "Could never be uncomfortable around you.."
The blonde smiled again noticing that the boy is drifting off to sleep, "You never know, babyboy."
"uh huh." Cody protests, not realizing Ted had called him that then drifts off fully asleep.
Ted chuckles and smiles at Cody then gently starts to get off the bed when he realizes the brunette's asleep.
Cody absently wraps his arm around his masters thigh in his sleep, not letting him go.
The blonde smiles when he feels Cody's grip and sits back down with his back against the headboard and goes back to rubbing Cody's back.
The young brunette yawns, rather childlike, in his sleep and nuzzles his cheek against Ted's thigh.
Ted puts a hand on the brunette's head, running his fingers through his hair with a smile on his face.
Cody smiles in his sleep, curling up next to Ted.
Ted leans his head back against the headboard trying to get comfortable enough to go to sleep.
As of knowing his master was uncomfortable, Cody lets go of the man's thigh, plopping over onto his back.
The blonde looks down and smiles at the boy then lays down beside him.
Cody groans trying to get situated and throws his arm over Ted's middle, resting his head on his masters chest.
Ted turns toward the boy wrapping his arm around him.
The young brunette smiles in his sleep, finally comfortable.
The blonde male smiles and gets comfortable himself drifting off to sleep.
Well there you have it. First chapter done! I have no ideal when the next one will be up but please be patient with us. I don't have a beta and I didn't go over it, so all mistakes are mine and Peyton's. Please review and let us know what you think!
