Marry Me Mirror!
A/N: Love all of you that reviewed! Anyways though the last chapter seemed rather . . . dark this is in fact NOT a horror. I don't know why I made Cody seem like the psycho vampire in an old horror movie it just sort of happened . . . Don't blame me for the subtle horror in this story I don't plan on it, anyways enjoy and review!
Warnings: Yaoi, Incest (Sort of I guess...), Obsessive! Cody, slightly dark . . .
Disclaimer: AIEEEEEEEEEE! *Runs screaming* "Now THAT is a horror movie . . ." Looks around for Rosy* "Oh she's gone . . . oh then I guess it's up to me . . . again. Stonerose55 does not own the characters in Zack and Cody though she does own the plot as sick as it is . . ." *Screaming from somewhere far in the background.*
Chapter 2: Cause an Oblivious Cody is Dangerous
Zack's POV
"Wake up Zack . . . Zack come on now, open your eyes . . ."
Oh God he's still here! God please just make him go away!
"Zacky sweet heart wake up now, you can do it just crack those pretty eyes open."
His hand skims up my button up shirt, a finger curls around one of the top buttons and he pops it open slowly. A sob escapes my lips as I screw my eyes even tighter. If you can't see them they aren't real, if you can't see them they aren't real. I think ruthlessly over and over again. It's stupid and unrealistic but I remember that's what I use to think when I was a child and back then it made everything fine.
Another pops open and he grazes the now exposed skin lightly sending shivers through my body. I want to sob, to scream and push him away and run far away. But I can't because he'll find me and-and oh GOD I don't want to think about it. His hand slips down to a third button . . .
"Cody! Stop that your scaring Zack!" A female voice shouts shrilly.
I almost open my eyes. Almost, but then I catch myself. That's what they want me to do, to open my eyes and see them. Because they aren't real until I do, you know... God I'm nuts. If only I haven't lifted that damn knocker! Stupid goood for nothing house...
"Maddy!" The boy now known as Cody whines. "I wasn't scarring him..."
"Really?" Maddy asks dryly. "Then he normally shuts his eyes tight, shivers, and curls up on himself?"
"What are you... oh, OH!" He cries out suddenly making me flinch. "I didn't even notice! I thought he was just playing hard to get!"
Maddy sighs dramatically. "Your obliviousness has nearly traumatized him. First you kidnap him, then you make his mother cry, then you spout weird ass nonsense in a stalker like voice and you were undressing him just now. To him you fit the characteristics of a rapist!"
I can't help it, I crack an eye open and freeze. There sitting in front of me is me! Well he looks almost exactly like me anyway. He's slightly skinnier, and he has this inhuman glow to him. His hand is still on my chest but he's turned to Maddy. She's blonde too and she looks older then us. She doesn't look like a nut though. What really scares me is first, Maddy reminds me of a girl I see every once in a while. She use to work at the store I went to, back when we lived in the city and by reminds I mean they look nearly exactly the same! Except like Cody this one has that glow to her. The other thing that's freaking me out is that she unlike me or Cody has a reflection!
Oh and I nearly forgot, Cody has nothing but boxers on!
"Oh! So you decided to look!" Maddy says abruptly and suddenly all eyes are back on me. I flinch when I meet Cody's eyes and he frowns.
"Why are you scared of me? Don't you remember who I am?" He asks, tilting his head slightly.
"Where did my reflection go!" I blurt out nervously, that made them blink before Maddy frowns.
"He doesn't know? Cody I thought you said he did!" Her face pails. "We are going to get in so much trouble for this!"
Cody pouts cutely. "We are not! He does know! Or at least I thought he did, he made me a promise that I know for sure."
"What are you two talking about!" I screech.
Maddy and Cody flinch. Maddy looks at me and sighs before walking toward us and sitting beside me. She removes Cody's hand - which he hadn't moved since Maddy spoke and glared at him, Cody blushes a little but doesn't reply.
"Okay Zack." She says turning back toward me. "The answer to that is, he's right here." She gestures to Cody. "You see Zack this is called Htrae. This is a dimension that parallels Earth. Every time you or any one in Earth looks in a mirror they are not looking at things you call 'reflections' they are glancing at us."
I nod slowly and she continues. "You see in Htrae we know about both dimensions and are forbidden to make contact with those of your world. Unless of course you make an agreement." I blink and she sighs. "There are all sorts of agreements, friendship, family, lovers, and on a rare occasion marriage. Though you are not limited to making these agreements with only your other self, you can make them with anyone from Htrae."
"Ummm if it's forbidden to make contact with us then why...?" I ask nervously as I sit up, scooting away slightly from Cody, who in turn follows.
"Well first off you have to know why it's forbidden." Maddy explains. "You see the king of Htrae, Markus, decided that the people from Earth were too narrow - minded and stubborn to understand our kind. He thought that your people would try and rule us or scorn us, treating us like monsters."
I nod slightly when she gives me a questioning glance. "You see your father made a marriage agreement with an Htrae called Carey, which is the other self of your mother. He did this by accident and by Htrae law was forced to live in Htrae. After all we can't have Earthlings going around with no reflection. It would drive your world into chaos, confusion and your mother and Carey would be treated like freaks and monsters."
"Yeesh Maddy you're taking too long!" Cody whines at her, he looks at me and begins speaking. "So anyway, once while your father was talking to Carey you saw them, and being a normal curious two year old you started to talk whenever you saw a mirror. You talked to me!" HE said his eyes shining. "We became friends and I wanted you to come be with me but your mother found out and freaked so when we were six we spoke for the last time. You cried and wanted to stay with me because I was your only friend. So I made you make me a promise. In that promise we agreed that the next time we met I would take you here and we would get married!"
I blink, and blink and blink. "Wait what?"
He sighs. "Once when your father was..."
"Yes!" I interrupt, irate. "I heard you, I mean: What are you talking about! You can't really expect us to get married do you? I was six at the time and besides we're guys! That aside isn't it like incest or something?"
"Well." Cody drawls. "I guess if you really, really want to get technical I guess you could call it incest... if you really look. Besides that, here in Htrae couples of the same sex are not looked down upon, if we wanted to we could get married and lastly I do expect us to get married, I understand if this is all a shock and what ever so I'll give you some time but..."
"What do you mean some time? I'm not marrying you!" I shout.
Cody sighs and pats my hand patiently. "Yes, yes Zack whatever. I'll give you some time now I have to go change. Me and Maddy will come and get you when dinner starts."
He gets up and walks to the door with Maddy he turns to me as she leaves. "Now don't go anywhere Zack, I wouldn't want anyone else to see you and decide that they want you. You and your delicious body are mine! So be a good boy and stay here." With that he leaves the room.
My face reddens. "Pervert!" I shout flinging a pillow at the closed door, only to be met with soft laughter.
Stupid, stupid good for nothing knocker...
A/N: Chapter two is finished! YAY! So tell me is this chapter any less dark? The humor might take a while and stuff but eh! This is mostly filler which is sad but I figured you readers - as well as poor confused Zack - needed an explanation to Zack's kidnapping scenario. Well here it is! Now be good and tell me what you think and your opinion on this so far!
