AUTHOR'S NOTE: I just loved the look in Cody's eyes on this week's SmackDown! And got inspired for this tiny angsty fic.
Well… Let's imagine that the surgery took place for real.
DISCLAIMER: Do not own the guys (I wish I did ^^)
- Take that shit off, Codes! – Ted said, looking at Cody, who was standing on the opposite side of the empty locker-room.
Rhodes smiled and unfastened the thongs of his mask. DiBiase approached him, watching his every move. During all this time, Cody's eyes were locked with Ted's and the bigger man felt like the sight of his lover's eyes was his bondage, it was holding him tight and not letting go. Finally, the brunette took the plastic mask completely off and ruffled his hair slightly. It was a little crushed because of the bindings.
Ted was admiring Cody's now exposed features, which seemed very fragile, like if this handsome face was made of the finest Chinese porcelain. The sharp shape of his slightly retrousse nose, the soft lines of his rose-pink lips, his beautiful w-shaped chin and the most magnificent – his aquaish eyes with a permanent sparkle of lust and taunt in them. DiBiase reached for him and buried his palm in his lover's brown hair, meeting Cody's hand with his fingertips, making the brunette stop torturing his crumpled chevelure. Ted touched Cody's bilge tenderly with the thumb of his other hand, making the smaller man shudder slightly. After the surgery, Rhodes was always nervous when his face was exposed, and Ted was the only person, who was allowed to touch it. Despite that DiBiase knew, that Cody didn't like having his face touched, he just couldn't force himself not to, and seized the opportunity every time his boyfriend let him.
Cody smiled again, but now his smile was a little guilty. It seemed to ask to bear with him for being so tensed and bothered. "I'm sorry… It's ok… You may touch me whenever and wherever you want…" – the whole look on his face was saying. Ted's heart cowered. He couldn't stand seeing his lover in that condition, but he couldn't do a thing to help Cody.
Ted leaned down a bit and placed a tender kiss on his boyfriend's lips, as softly and carefully as he could. Cody wrapped his arms around the bigger man's neck and rested his forehead against his lover's.
- Teddy… You can't even imagine how I hate my current situation… The storylines… Everything…
Cody sighed heavily.
- I wish I could just get rid of all this shit… Fly away… - While saying this Rhodes wasn't looking into the other man's eyes, as if he felt guilty for saying this. Recently he always felt guilty for something, - Teddy… - Cody brought his lips closer to Ted's and a quiet whisper left his mouth, - Just kiss me away.
Ted, barely letting the brunette finish, pressed his lips to Cody's, once again, and once more, time after time, as a crystalline tear ran on the smaller man's cheek, leaving a thin wet path behind.
