A/N: Hi I'm alive and after a long wait I'm back! Here's chapter two, I'm glad that you guys enjoyed it!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Suite Life Series in any way or fashion I do own this plot though.
Warnings: Comedy, Yaoi/Slash, and smut!
Note: This fic totally ignores Suite Life on Deck and acts as if it never happened; they are still living in the hotel but are around the age that they would be in Suite Life on Deck. Also this was a one-shot at one point but... I decided to change it into a chapter fic, enjoy, also there shouldn't be many chapters to this.
Zack had found his happy place: the inside of Cody's mouth, it was so moist and warm and Cody-ish. It even tasted like how he thought Cody would taste: Oranges and cream.* When Zack had first felt the rather abrupt smashing of Cody's lips on his he had nearly moved away, after all it didn't feel like a kiss but more like a painful knock in the teeth.
It took him a second to realize his lips were attached to Cody's and when he did he very nearly danced in place, he had – for a wild second – believed that Cody had finally given into his awesome body and devious seduction but then realized that Cody would never give into him so easily. Cody – though not all that religious – believed that incest wasn't right and as it was an actual rule against it Cody would never willingly disobey it and he would especially not do so when it meant that Zack could get in trouble. Cody was funny like that, he would plead guilty to a serious of rapes that he never committed to keep Zack safe but then again so would Zack.
The only thing that separated Zack from Cody's beliefs was that Zack thought that as long as you were in love, it was mutual and both parties were around the same again – because really he didn't think a forty year old man could 'love' a twelve year old girl – that they should be allowed to be with one another. Now getting Cody to see to his way of thinking may be a 'tad' difficult as Cody could be notoriously stubborn.
Lips pressed together.
Zack was on the edge of swooning and Cody snapped out of his 'oh shit' paralysis.
Cody then proceeded to bite Zack's wandering – and surprising not that experienced – tongue.
Zack jerked away and put his hands to his mouth, looking visibly hurt.
Cody blushed and tried to ignore the way his heart ached, he hated hurting Zack and he'd do almost anything to end his brother's pain but helping him commit a crime wasn't one of them.
"I-I'm sorry Zack, that was an accident." Zack was no longer looking like a kicked puppy but he was still pouting.
He nodded and then the room was filled with an awkward silence. Cody bit his lip and hastily went back to their earlier task; pushing Zack's binder in Zack's hands he gave a lopsided smile, "Err history right?"
Zack was known to act childish and be really, really wanted to pout (which he was already doing but in his opinion not that blatantly... in other words he could do worse). He wanted to throw a tantrum to whine to his mom that 'Cody hurt him' but – besides the fact that, that was totally unsexy – he knew that wouldn't be fair. Cody loved him, maybe not in the way Zack loved him but he knew that Cody never wanted to hurt him. If acted out Cody would feel depressed and sad, he would probably start to hate himself because that was just how Cody was. Cody always blamed himself before everyone else, which Zack never saw as a healthy occupation but... to stop making Cody a martyr would be like asking Zack not to pose sexually in front of a camera… it wasn't going to happen.
"Yeah," Zack replied with the best 'I'm not hurt I swear' smile on his face, he knew Cody saw thru it but there was nothing the other boy could do.
The rest of the day followed uneventfully. Zack couldn't muster much flirtation after the heart aching actions of early and Cody became wrapped up in his tutoring to the point that Zack nearly thought that Cody forgot the smash of lips that happened earlier. Though when he thought that Cody would look up from the text book or the hand out and give him a look a quiet kind of 'Are you ok' look that assured Zack that Cody hadn't forgotten and most likely never would forget. Zack didn't know if that was good or not.
Zack learned that he had a history test on Friday. He freaked.
"Cody!" Zack shouted as he raced through the suite and into their bedroom, "We've got major, red lights flashing, duck under the bed kind of trouble here!"
Cody, who had been lying on his stomach on his bed, head in a book with his legs bent upward and feet crossed, snapped to attention. In a half stumble, tumble, entanglement of limbs he's out of bed (more or less unscathed). His eyes were wide; he was sweating and nearly trembling in an anxious way.
He gasped out, "What happened!?"
Zack quickly replied, "I have a test, its History, Cody History! I'll fail, I'm going to fail I have no chance at all! Mrs. Molly will call mom, I'll get grounded I won't get to go to Elizabeth's party! I'll be a loser; they'll make me an outcast! I'll have to drop out of high school and live on the street! I'll become a prostitute Cody!" Zack grasped Cody's shoulders and shook him roughly, "A prostitute!"
Cody went from panicked to a straight face: 'really, you couldn't have said that' look a good second after Zack finished his nonsensical rant, really a prostitute?
Cody interrupted Zack as his twin started on another rant, "You're not going to fail Zack."
Zack stopped, mouth open ready to say something stupid no doubt and stared at Cody like he was stupid (oh the irony), "You remember who I am yes? I'm Zack," Zack says slowly as if Cody is either a young child or has some sort of mental illness, "I'm your brother, your twin. You're the smart twin and I'm the incredibly sexy one. I don't ace history tests I flirt with people who ace history tests!"
Cody crosses his arms and gives him that look again, "Zack you're an idiot."
"That's exactly what I've been saying this whole time!" Zack says indignantly.
"No, you're an idiot for believing that you're an idiot, "Cody grabs Zack by the wrist and drags him out of the room, swiping both his wallet and his cellphone on the way.
"Uh where are we going?" Zack asked as he allowed himself to be tugged away.
Cody answered easily, "Library. We're going to make you study until you faint."
Zack failed his history test.
He felt low, lower than he'd ever felt before. Cody had studied with him, helped him with his homework and did all he possibly could to help Zack and Zack still failed. He always assured himself that no he wasn't stupid, the teachers weren't clear enough, his friends distracted him too much, he never tried hard enough and those were the reasons he never got high grades on tests, why he passed most classes by the skin of him teeth but now… He'd been alone in a room with Cody (after that first day at the library they had figured out loud social settings were very bad for his concentration levels), it had been quiet, Cody had explained everything even the stupid questions that left Zack's mouth, and Zack had really tried. Like super – duper study until the sun peeked over the horizon and his eyes matched the blood, sludge – like in his veins.
He'd given it everything he had and it still wasn't enough. He wanted to cry, he wanted to throw things and most of all he wanted Cody. Cody never made him feel down, he never looked down on him he always had a smile reserved especially reserved for Zack.
Cody looked up when he entered the room a smile on his face, "So how was it Zack?"
Zack looked at him briefly before falling flat on his face on his bed. Zack heard Cody shift and felt Cody sit down beside him, a hand on his shoulder.
"It couldn't have been that bad Zack let me see the test."
Zack grunted but waved his hand containing the crumpled up test in Cody's general direction. Cody carefully pried his fingers off the paper. Zack heard Cody un-crumble the paper. Seconds ticked by.
"I'm sorry to tell you this Zack but…" Zack was waiting for the 'you're hopeless and an idiot part' but that wasn't what Cody said.
He sat up and stared at him, "What?"
Cody rolled his eyes, "I said, your teacher made a mistake you passed…"
The 'just barely part' was cut off when Zack plowed into him, "I passed?"
"With a sixty – five but yes you did…"
Zak didn't even let Cody finish before he started to dance around victoriously, "Yeah! I'm awesome!"
Cody snorted, "It was only a sixty-five Zack…"
Zack hugged Cody hard and ripped the test from Cody's hand, "I'm going to make him fix this right now! See you bro!"
With a quick kiss to Cody's cheek – and no Cody didn't blush – Zack was off before Cody could tell him that it was already four – thirty and that his teacher would have probably have let already.
Cody gave a rueful smile, "Zack you're hopeless."
A/N: A little filler, this was supposed to be longer but I know that you guys have waited a long time already here's a heads up, updates will be sparse between writing my novel (which I hope to get published and therefore the top priority) school work and friend issues I really don't have a lot of time on my hands. Sorry.
