Hi everyone!

This is the lovechild that was born from the minds of ilovesprouse and Bloody Queen Mary...

The story mainly revolves around Dylan and Cole Sprouse, with a slight Zack and Cody twist added.

We hope you enjoy reading this as much as we enjoyed writing it!

Rated M for language, and... wait for it... twincest! :)

Yoü and I

Chapter 1 – Disconnected

▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬

Today was a day like any other. Cole and I were on our way to the set, to film the next episode of The Suite Life on Deck. You'd think that after playing the same characters for almost five years, we'd be upset about this. But the truth is we loved being Zack and Cody.

Or at least I did.

See, Zack and Cody were a lot closer than Dylan and Cole was. Even though the producers toned the brotherly love down a notch since the first Suite Life ended, our characters still had a stronger bond than our real counterparts. I'm not sure what caused us to grow this far apart, though. Maybe Cole realized that he didn't need me anymore.

I took my job as Cole's big brother pretty seriously. It always bothered Cole when I referred to him as my baby brother, since we're twins, but he was born fifteen minutes after me.

Anyway, here we were, on our way to the studio. And just like every other day, the silence in the car was absolutely deafening. Cole just stared out the window, not once sparing a glance in my direction. Even though he was only sitting a few inches away, it felt like we were miles apart.

I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to do something.

"Cole?" I asked, hoping he'd at least look at me.

"Yeah?" he asked back, his eyes still fixated to the sky.

"Never mind," I told him, discouraged.

And just like that, the silence returned. And it stayed that way, completely uninterrupted, for the rest of the 30 minute drive.

I let out a slight sigh of relief when we finally reached the studio. In just a few minutes, Cole and I would be close again.

We made our way through the multiple sets to where we were shooting. The episode we were doing today was called Lost at Sea or something. I wasn't too excited about it though, since Zack was kinda mean to Cody. Why couldn't all the episodes be like the one we did last week?

I just loved being able to hug my brother in Goin' Bananas. I can't even remember the last time Cole and I shared a hug in real life.

When we finally reached our set, Debby and Brenda came over and gave us our hello hugs. We saw Phill and Matt waving from the other side of the set, reading over their scripts. A few minutes later the director arrived and announced that we would begin shooting in 5.

We had to redo the opening scene a few times since Cole struggled to make his voice break at will. Luckily he figured out how to do it consistently after sixteen takes... We were allowed a short break after that, and filming continued a few minutes later.

I couldn't help but let out a laugh when I heard Cole speak. He still had to let his voice break when he talked, and it really had some hilarious results.

When it was finally time for our first scene together, I couldn't help but feel happy. Sure, I had to mock him, but at least we'd be talking again. And it was really great seeing him smile at some of my lines.

Matt and I were standing on the sidelines as Cole and Debby were doing their scene in front of the lifeboat. I actually felt a little jealous of Debby at that moment, for getting to spend so much time with my brother. And when she kissed him, it actually made me feel sort of… upset. But I had absolutely no reason to be, so I just pushed it to the back of my mind as I chased Matt into the lifeboat.

The next scene turned out to be pretty fun, even though Zack had to be really annoyed at Cody halfway in. But when Cody and Bailey had their moment and the rest of us gagged in the background, I actually meant it. If I didn't know any better, I'd think I was actually jealous of her. But why would I be? It wasn't like I was in love with Cole or anything. So I just ignored it again.

When Cody and Bailey were having their fight a few minutes later, I actually found myself smiling. I had no idea why I was happy about this, but I was. And as their little spat grew in intensity, so did my smile. I was off camera for the moment, so nobody would notice. But as soon as Woody went overboard, I had to get back in character.

When Bailey broke up with Cody after we finally reached the island, I actually smirked. I knew it was part of the script, but for some inexplicable reason it still made me glad. Really glad.

'What the heck was going on with me?'

I remembered from my script that Zack was supposed to start flirting with Bailey soon. I wasn't too thrilled about the idea, but when I saw how jealous it made Cody, I felt something strange inside me. I had no idea what it was, but I loved the feeling. I knew that Cole was merely doing what his character was supposed to, but I loved the fact that he was actually experiencing a bit of what I've been feeling the entire day.

'Wait, did I just admit that I was in fact jealous of his relationship with Bailey? No, that can't be right,' I said to myself, shaking the thoughts away.

During our next scene together, I actually started feeling sorry for Cody. When he started tearing up like that, I just wanted to hold him and tell him that everything was gonna be okay. Like I used to do when we were younger. I suppose it was my brotherly instincts kicking in.

But I couldn't do that. I had to be Zack right now. So I said my lines as written and faked Zack's trademark cocky smirk.

The next one was pretty hard though. Cole was a really great actor, and he totally made me feel bad for flirting with his 'girlfriend'. I practically had to force myself to not apologize. But then I got to comfort him, albeit in Zack's strange yet effective way, and everything felt right again.

But I knew that as soon as the camera stopped rolling, we'd go back to the way we were this morning.

I found myself feeling strange again when Cody and Bailey finally made up. Why did she get to spend so much time with my brother? It just wasn't fair. If only the writers would've let us hug once in a while like we used to, maybe we wouldn't have grown this far apart in the first place.

When we finished filming the final scene back on the ship set, everything did go back to normal. Cole resumed his stoic silence around me, barely even sparing a glance in my direction. We stayed a while to hang out with the rest of the cast for a few minutes before heading home.

While I was busy talking to Brenda about next week's episode, I overheard Cole and Debby talking. I have no idea why, but my jaw practically dropped as I heard what he'd just asked her.

"Sure, I'd love to," she said, a slight blush spreading across her cheeks.

'Did he just ask her out on a date? You have got to be kidding me. She gets to spend even more time with him!'

And that's when it finally dawned on me. I was jealous. Jealous of the girl who got to spend more time with my brother than I did. Hell, I even wished I could be her at some point! But why? Why was I overcome by this strong sense of envy? Why did I crave Cole's attention so much? Why did I want him to hug me so badly?

And maybe -

Just maybe -

I wanted him to kiss me, too…
