A/N: Hi guys! This is my first Z&C fanfic. I hope you guys enjoy it. I'll try powering out a bunch of chapters as I have the time. I apologize in advance if the chapters wind up short. But what lacks in chapter length is TOTALLY made up for in story length AND chapter quality. This story is gonna be in BOTH twins POV, so we both know whats going on. What you'll see is intergrations in the chapters between POVs. Hopefully it's not too confusing! This first paragraph isn't really in ANYONES point of view. It's more of a touchdown on the twins currently. Hope you enjoy! R&R


Chapter 1: Suggestions and Striking Chords

"ZACK! Get your butt up or you'll be late for school!" Carrie shouts as she prepares the twins breakfasts. Blueberry Pancakes and Bacon. The boys favorite breakfast food, besides food itself, of course.

"Mom! I can't find my argyle socks! I've looked EVERYWHERE for them!" Cody walks out of the shower with nothing but a towel on. "I looked EVERYWHERE! My drawer, the hamper, even under my bed. If I don't have those socks, how will I ever get through the day?!" Cody begins looking franticly through the house as Zack enters the room with a yawn.

"Jeez Codes, can you get any more scrawnier? I feel like I'm looking at a stick." He chuckles to himself as he scratches his head. Cody looks up to see his socks on Zacks feet. A look of annoyance sprawled across his face. "ZACK! THOSE ARE MY RALPH LAUREN ARGYLE SOCKS! GET THEM OFF YOUR PUTRID FEET!!" He goes after Zack and begins tugging on his leg. "Jeez, Cody. Here. All ya had to do was ask, nerd for brains." He pulls the socks off each of his feet. "NO! YOU'RE STRETCHING THEM!" Zack tosses the socks to Cody, who barely catches them, A look of disgust is on his face. "Oh god...I'll NEVER be able to get the smell out. MOM!" He whines facing Carrie.

"Now boys. You guys are 15. You're old enough to compromise and share. Besides...It's a relief to see your brother rubbing off on you..." She continues cooking.

"So Mama Lady! What's cookin'? I'm starved!" Zack says rubbing his hands together. Cody and Zack take a seat at the table as Carrie sets two plates in front of them, stacked high with blueberry pancakes. "PANCAKES!" Cody squeals as he picks his fork up and digs in. "Jeez Cody. Can you be anymore of a fag?" Carrie drops her spatula upon hearing Zack say that. "ZACK!" Cody just shrugs the remark off and continues eating.

"What? I'm just saying that it's clearly evident that-"

"Zachary Martin. Have some respect for your brother for Christ sake. Besides, I love you boys no matter what...even if you do wind up like my ex-boyfriend. Let me tell you the story of-"

"WE KNOW, MOM!" Both twins exclaim at the same time. "Oh...well no matter. Finish up with those pancakes and wash your dishes. And Zack, go get dressed. And wear your OWN socks this time." Carrie says. Zack nods and runs into his room to dress, as Cody grabs his book bag off the sofa, then slips on a fresh pair of socks and shoes. Zack rushes out of the room clothed and book bag in hand. "Have a good day at school boys, I love you!" She pecks them each on the forehead and they cringe. "Later mom." Zack says. "BYE MOMMY!" Cody says. As they rush out the door.

"Okay class! Today, we're going to be making Chicken Cordon Bleu! And who better to explain how this wonderful process than my star student, Cody Martin!" Cody walks to the front of the classroom. "Thank you, Ms. Donovan! Well, it's quite simple really and I'm sure it won't take long for you guys to "cordon"!" He giggles to himself while a symphony of boos ring out. "We first start by taking 2 cups of milk..." Cody begins explaining as Zack sits at his counter fiddling with a whisk. All of a sudden a girl with brunette hair and brown eyes takes a seat next to him.

"Hey! What's cookin', good lookin'? Whaddya say you get a taste of the Zackman!" He says. The girl lets out a slight giggle as Zack continues flattering the pretty young girl.

"Zack Martin! I would appreciate it if you paid attention. You wouldn't want to wind up being the class turkey!" Cody laughs as Zack rolls his eyes at his brothers awful Home Ec. puns. The class continues on until the bell rings. Everyone gets up out of their seats as one of the girls approaches Cody.

"Excuse me, Mr. Martin!" Cody turns around and sees the girl is really pretty. As normal, he tries to act natural. "That's my name, don't wear it out!" Zack overhears as he scoffs and begins to walk out of the room. "That kid can't get a girl even if his life depended on it." He thinks to himself as he exits the room.

"Say, Mr. Martin. You really know your stuff when it comes to cooking. And I noticed you were captin of the knitting club, the reading club, AND I remember once you were part of the cheerleading squad?" Zack puffs his chest out, feeling proud. "Well, I don't like to brag, but..."

"And me and my friends were wondering. Are you gay?" The words knock the air our of Cody, feeling like he just got punched in the stomach. How could they think this of him? He was in a deep relationship with Barbra. Well...not anymore, considering she went to Bob. But what about those twins he and Zack dated? They BOTH wound up leaving with him....well that's because he was crying...No. There was no way Cody was gay...Was there?

"Well...Umm...Don't forget to do tonight's homework. Bring in your favorite recipe!" He quickly changes the subject as he watches the girls walk out giggling. Cody takes a few minutes to absorb what he was just asked.

Am I gay?

Zack took the long way to his locker to find that girl that he was hitting on in Home Ec. As he takes his journey through various halls, he finds himself in the upperclassmen's part of the school. "Whoops. Took a wrong turn." He says to himself, but before he could turn around and change course, something caught his eye. Across the hall he saw two juniors...two BOY juniors...holding hands and kissing by the water fountain. Zack wanted to walk away BADLY, but couldn't look away from the sight. Eventually it stirred up his thoughts and brought back memories he'd thought were gone...

You're gay, Zack...Remember what happened that day...

He shakes his head trying to clear the images of the past and quicky walks the other way. He walks right past the brunette he was hitting on in class.

"HEY! ZACK! HEY!" She waves her arms for his attention.

"Yea, yea. Not now!" He says as he races to his locker, all while trying to erase the image of the two boys. He dials in his locker combination and places his books in. Eventually he lets out a big sigh and lays his head in his locker...

You're gay...Remember what happened...

He quickly gets lost in his thoughts until he's brought back into reality by a tap on the shoulder.

"Cmon, Zack! Let's head to lunch! I'm starved." Cody says. Zack just nods and replies. "Yea...Sure...Sure thing."

"You okay, bro? You don't look too good." Cody worries for Zack. He just shakes his head. "Yea. I'm..I'm fine. C'mon. I smell pizza!" Zack tries his best to cover his emotions, as does Cody. They both race to the lunchroom.

The last thing Cody wants is Zack finding out he actually doubts his sexuality.

The last thing Zack wants is Cody finding out his true self...

It was an okay chapter. I think it was TOO literal and boring. Though I thought I got their personalities down quite well. What do you guys think? Reviews would be awesome! Let me know what you think! Chapter 2 isn't that far behind! Working on it as we speak!
