Longing

A.N. My first WWE Slash. I hope this is good because I've been wanting to do this airing for a while. I'm not sure about the rating so for now it's T but that can change (any sexual scenes will fade out since I can do them). Enjoy and review, it keeps me going.

Cody occasionally longed for the days of when he was a part of The Legacy; he got to be in a powerful trio with his best friend Ted DiBiase and mentor Randy Orton. Cody especially loved being in a tag team with Ted, the two were very close.

He would think of the nights when they would room together, so basically every night. He and Ted would often sit on one of their beds side by side while eating popcorn, chips and chocolate while watching movies. Ted usually picked horror movies, which weren't really Cody's favourite, and Cody would pick action movies, something they both enjoyed.

But Cody tried his hardest not to think about those days, he was engaged to Brandi now. He was starting a new life with her; he wanted it to be perfect. But when someone else is on your mind, someone you know you can't have, life can't be perfect.

Cody let Brandi do everything for the wedding since she insisted; it was fine by him as long as he didn't have to wear pink anywhere.

"Cody, take me down to the florist. I need to see what flowers they have." Cody looked over at his fiancée from the couch he sat at while she leaned over the serving bench in their kitchen.

"A simple 'please' might make me feel like doing that a little bit. But how long will you be gone for?" Brandi rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"I don't know, I'll call you so you can pick me up. I need to go to look at dresses as well." Cody mumbled an agreement and walked outside. He searched his contacts and pressed one of them. The phone rang a few times as he held it to his ear.

"What's going on, Codes?" The voice said on the other end as soon as the ringing stoped. Cody smiled as the voice said his nickname that not many people called him.

"Nothing much, Ted. I was wondering if you were busy today, Brandi is looking at flowers and for a dress for the wedding and I won't have anything to do." Cody answered and he heard Ted laugh on the other end.

"I've been there before, but I got dragged along to everything because Kristen wanted me to." Cody shivered from the thought of seemingly endless shopping.

Ted had said this with relief of hopefully never having to do so with another woman if he could avoid it. He and Kristen had divorced a few months before their son's first birthday and Ted let Kristen have him. They stayed friends afterwards and he often saw his son when he could. Cody couldn't deny to himself that he was a little bit happy when he heard the news but told no one.

"Yeah, okay. Drop Brandi off in town and come over to my place afterwards. It's nearby so Brandi won't get mad at you if you show up more than five minutes after you call." Both men laughed and Cody agreed when they stopped before hanging up. Brandi was yelling at him to hurry.

The drive seemed too long for Cody, he barely made it to the mall without pulling the car over and telling Brandi to get out and walk the rest of the way. He was relieved for the five minutes alone on the way to Ted's place.

Cody couldn't help but smile whenever he saw Ted's house. It was all white on the outside, both two stories of the house. There were huge glass windows that were on each side of the house and a two car garage. The front door was even nice, it was wooden with stain glass windows with one red rose in the centre on top of the door and on the two sides of the door.

The door opened to reveal Ted smiling at his best friend. Cody returned the smile and walked inside the all too familiar home. The two grabbed as many packets of chips, sweets and a couple of cans of Coca Cola.

"What are you in the mood to watch, Codes?" Ted asked as he knelt down to see what DVDs he had. Cody thought about it for a second before he answered.

"The Simpsons Movie. I think I'll need the laughs after dealing with Brandi for ten minutes in a car." Ted shrugged and put the DVD in. He sat beside Cody, opened his drink and a packet of chips and the movie started.

The two laughed and put 12 Rounds in after the first movie was done. Cody really loved watching the movie because he loved watching John Cena in it; he was a great actor.

Cody was too busy watching the movie to notice Ted had put his arm around his shoulders and was now siting close to him. When Cody did notice towards the end of the movie, he just smiled back at Ted who was smiling at Cody.

Ted cleared his throat and moved his arm from Cody's shoulder and put it on his own knee. Cody grabbed Ted's wrist suddenly.

"Oh, um, sorry, Ted." Cody blushed a little as he pulled his hand away and his phone, which he had put on silent, vibrated in his back pocket. He saw it was a text from Brandi, telling him to meet her at their home in a couple of hours. She had gotten a ride home.

"Who picked her up from the mall?" Ted asked and Cody shrugged in response.

"I don't know, her text doesn't say and she isn't answering me." They shook it off and they started playing Black Ops and WWE 13 to pass the time. They had been playing for roughly an hour before Cody decided he should leave. He forgot about the text.

"I'll see you later then, Codes?" Ted asked and Cody nodded. The two hugged and pulled away after they held each other longer than they should have. Cody looked into Ted's eyes and both moved their faces towards each other. Their lips touched lightly before Cody's eyes snapped open when they had closed. He thought for a second that the lips were too rough yet gentle to be Brandi's then realised what was happening.

Cody quickly ran out, abruptly breaking off the kiss and leaving without a word.

He tried to concentrate on the road as he drove down the streets on his way to his home. Instead of rushing inside to meet with his future life like normal, he sat in the car after killing the engine and ran a hand down his face. He couldn't believe he and Ted had kissed.

His hands fumbled to put the keys in the front door, which was locked for some reason since Brandi was home, and eventually walked inside of the house. He heard heavy breathing moaning coming from his room and went over to see what was happening.

Cody, who still hand his keys in his hand, dropped them to the floor when he opened his bedroom door to see some guy he didn't know on top of Brandi. The two didn't even notice Cody was there and his exit from the house.

Brandi was cheating on him? When did that start?
