Chapter 2
June 2, 2008

Ted DiBiase Jr. was pumped to say the least. This was going to be his first actual backstage segment with his best friend, Cody Rhodes. He thought about what he was going to say to Cody when they saw each other. He and Cody had practiced what they wanted to do over and over in their hotel room. They came up with some pretty funny things that were definitely not up to WWE standards.

Ted leaned against the wall waiting for that moment. The cameras hadn't made their way over so Ted knew he had a bit. Cody and Bob Holly walked down the hallway. Bob looked pissed because the younger man had asked Rowdy Roddy Piper to join them. Cody shook his head at Ted and stood beside him.

"I hate being called kid." Cody sighed.

"Sorry, man, but you are kind of a kid…"

"I'm twenty-two, Teddy."

"Alright, you're not a kid, but you're not you're a very young adult." Ted smiled and ruffled Cody's hair. He glared at Ted for a minute before his smile broke through and he laughed. Ted busted into a fit of laughter when he saw his best friend having trouble breathing against the wall. The camera guy walked up and saw the two young men laughing.

"Uh guys…"

Cody and Ted stopped laughing. Cody said he was sorry and walked into the locker room. Ted smiled small at the camera guy then looked down. Ted waited for his cue then he walked into the locker room with that perfect smirk plastered to his face. Cody turned and saw him. He forced a glare, "What do you want?"

Ted ran a hand down his lips, grinning like a Cheshire cat, "Well looks like you and your partner need to straighten things out." Ted took a deep breath and moved his hand from his chin to Cody's shoulder, "Cody you see we, DiBiases, we have a habit of getting what we want." Ted pulled his hand from Cody's shoulder slowly.

Cody kept his eyes glued to Ted. He hadn't said word since the older man had walked in. Ted continued on, "Yeah and I'm about three weeks away from choosing a partner and becoming one half of the new World Tag Team Champions." Ted put his hand back on Cody's shoulder and squeezed when he said "tag team champions". Cody pushed Ted's hand away with his own. Ted chuckled under his breath. He licked his lips and looked at Cody with his hands on his hips, "And when I do, the look on yours and Holly's face will be kinda like me…" Ted leaned in close to Cody's ear, licked his lips and said, "Priceless."

Cody looked at Ted nodding before the older man walked out of frame. Once the camera was off Ted walked back over to Cody and hugged him. Cody beamed and hugged Ted back, "Dude, you have control of the camera, I swear."

Ted smiled and pulled back, "I bet they weren't even listening to me. Not with how low you wear your trunks, Mr. Model."

Cody pushed on Ted's chest, "Your pants are just as low, buddy boy. Any lower and the world would have gotten the show of a lifetime."

"The world would love to get a show of a lifetime. They want to see the rest of this body." Ted motioned to his body.

"I wouldn't mind seeing the rest of that body." Cody teased.

Ted shook his head. Cody had always made jokes about seeing Ted naked, "Codes…"

"What Teddy?"

"I can never tell if you're serious or if you're joking.

"Oh come on, Teddy. You know I'm just kidding." Cody shook his head and laughed.

Ted let out a small breath of relief. He didn't know what he thought about his best friend being gay. He didn't want to think about it at all. Cody grabbed his clothes, "Let me get a quick shower then we can leave and go get something to eat, I'm starved."

Ted nodded, "That sounds like a great idea."

Cody and Ted parted ways. Ted was going to get his bag so he could pull a shirt on. He found his bag; instead of just pulling a shirt on right then he started walking back to Cody's locker room. Cody liked to pick out Ted's shirts. He said it was the model in him coming out. Ted walked into Cody's locker room just as Bob Holly was walking out. Ted nodded to Bob then walked into the room. He sat down on one of the benches and waited for Cody.

After a few minutes he heard Cody saying something, Ted couldn't hear him very well so he stood up and walked into the shower room. Cody was in the last stall. Ted peaked around and caught Cody stroking himself. His eyes were shut tight, his mouth was wide open. Ted stifled the chuckle that tried to force its way out. Of course all thoughts of laughing disappeared when Cody moaned out a name. Ted backed up against the wall of the other stall. He couldn't of just heard that. He had to be dreaming. Cody did not just say that. He couldn't have.

"Oh, Teddy…" Cody whimpered, "More, please…"

Ted ran out of the room as fast and quiet as he could. He did just hear that. His best friend was gay, and he wanted him.
