Chapter Four:

A/N: The kind feedback is much appreciated. Thanks a lot. :)

Once the Lounge closed, Cody and Evan went immediately home, exhausted for their night's work.

"Night Codes!" Evan called out, making a sluggish beeline for his bedroom.

"Night." Cody absently called back, plopping on the overstuffed couch sitting in the middle of their small space of a living a room.

Cody held that piece of napkin tightly in his fist. He was tired but he had to decide what he was gonna do with this...this number.

Would he keep it? Even if he did, what makes him think Randy would have any interest in him outside of the club? Sure, inside the club Cody was a graceful, seductive being but outside the club he was nothing but a guy who rather sit in his underwear and read his beloved comics all day long.

Would he throw it? What if Randy asked why he didn't call? Would he have to lie? He just didn't know. He knew he should probably throw it anyway for security of his job but something inside him decided to keep it.

After what seemed like hours, Cody got up from the couch and went inside his bedroom to sleep. The Lounge was closed tomorrow so he'd have a long while to think this over...

XXXXX XXXXXX

"Coooody..." A voice called out, a hand shaking him from his lumber.

"Hm? What?" Cody said, still asleep.

"My mom is in town so I was gonna hang out with her all day. Show her the shops, take her to some museuims, the whole works. You wanna come?" Evan excitedly asked, clapping his hands and hopping up and down on the queen-sized bed.

"No, I'll...uh...find something to do, I'll take a bus and errm..." Cody sleepily said, waving Evan off and pulling the covers over his head.

Evan huffed, crossing his arms as he got off Cody's bed. "Be that way Mr. Grumpy Gills, I'll be back later tonight okay?"

"Mmm..." Cody groaned out, clutching onto his pillow and going back to sleep.

An hour or so later, Cody finally got up, showered and went into the kitchen to fix himself some breakfast, clad only in a ice blue fleece robe and matching slippers.

Content with his bowl of Cheerios, he walked back to the couch and turned on the TV. A couple minutes passed as he flicked through channel after channel after channel, giving a frustrated huff since he couldn't find something to his liking. He checked the clock on the wall. 11:22 was what it read.

Putting down his bowl of cereal, he looked towards his room, then towards the wall phone not too far away then back to his room again. Hmm...

XXXXX XXXXX

Randy laid back down on his bed, panting. The nameless body's chest heaving next to him, moaning their appreciation.

What was his name again? Joshua? Jonathan? It didn't matter anyway. He was just some random guy he met while going for his early morning jog, another nameless fuck.

"Mmm..." He purred as he tried to snuggle closer to Randy.

Randy arched an eyebrow and gave a scowl as he pushed him roughly away.

"What's wrong, handsome? Not a snuggler?" The guy teased, still coming closer.

"You need to go." Randy coldly stated as he got up from the bed and put his underwear and jogging pants back on.

"Well, here's my number if you ever wanna do this again, sweetie. Call me." The guy winked as he grabbed his clothes and headed out the door.

Randy gave a chuckle and shook his head as he ripped the piece of paper and placed it in the fireplace, his ice-blue eyes watching it go ablaze.

He licked his lips while walking towards his massive master bathroom, undressing himself as he stepped into his spacious marble walk-in shower.

He groaned in relief as the warm water ran over every dip and every groove on his tanned, toned body. He grabbed a large sponge and began scrubbing himself ever so slowly, rolling his head at the slow sensation. Once he felt clean and satisfied that he had gotten the nameless fuck's smell off of him, he stepped out and wrapped a towel around his waist and shaking the excess droplets off his hair.

He laid back on his bed, soaking up the comfort his all-too plush blankets were giving him, beginning to doze off...until his phone started ringing.

Who the fuck? This better be God. Randy thought to himself in disapproval, snarling a bit as he answered the phone. "HELLO?"

The line on the other went quiet until Randy uttered a more calm "Hello?"

"Um...hi. Is this a bad time? I could call back...I think, um, I'll just do that...bye." said the person on the other end. That voice.

"Wait." Randy said before the call was disconnected. "Who is this?"

Silence for a second before the person replied, "It's, um, it's Cody. I understand if you're busy or gave this to me on mistake or if..."

"No, no I'm not busy. I'm surprised you called."

"Oh, well..." Cody said, pausing for a second. "...I figured since you gave it to me, I'd call right?"

Randy chuckled, "I'm glad you did. How about you, are you busy?"

"Me? Oh no. Evan had some family in town so he's off doing that and I'm just at home..." Cody said, his voice nervously trailing off.

"Meet me at the coffee shop on 23rd and Kindleson."

"W-What? I'm not sure if..." Cody stammered.

Randy gave another seductive chuckle, "Be there."

Before Cody had the chance to speak in reply, there was a click followed by dial tone. Nothing.

Cody exhaled, placing his hands in his face and looking down. What should he wear? What if Randy rejects him? What if Randy stands him up? God, he was a nervous mess!

He rushed into his room, into his small closet and looked through his wardrobe. Casual? Fancy? He bit his lip in worry as he picked out a simple blue t-shirt and some vintage faded denim jeans, complete with black Adidas.

He looked in the mirror while he fussed with his short, raven hair. Did he look too casual? He hoped not.

He took a deep breath as he grabbed his keys, his phone and shut the door to their apartment. He ran the stairs and walked towards the road where he waved down a taxi cab.

Randy walked across the street casually with hands in his Affliction hoodie, the bright sunlight blinding him for a slight second. He opened the door to the small cafe and took a seat at the nearest booth. A waitress came around to take his order and Randy simply replied he was waiting for someone but he'd take some coffee.

About 5 minutes later, Cody walked into the cafe. Randy spotted him and they locked gazes for a split second before Randy waved him down to join him.

Cody took the seat across from Randy on the booth and smiled timidly. He twiddled his thumbs a bit before looking up and murmurring a nervous "Hi."

"Hey..." Randy replied, smiling warmly at Cody.

"I, uh, almost got lost on my way." Cody nervously chuckled, trying to break the awkwardness.

"Did you?" Randy smirked. "Hmm, that would have been a shame. Then I would've had to go and find you, tsk tsk." He looked up, his eyes darkening with mischevious lust.

Cody looked into Randy's eyes, sensing the obvious tension. "Even if you did find me...you'd be my hero." as he playfully bit on his bottom lip.

Randy looked down for a moment, glancing at his full cup of coffee, he hadn't even taken a sip out of it yet.

He looked back up at Cody mischievously, not saying a word.

XXXXX XXXXX

Cody gasped as he was roughly pushed against the door of his bedroom, Randy's body pressed flush against him as he hungrily devoured his mouth. How did he get here? One moment he was in the cafe, the next, he was pushed up against his door. Oh, but he didn't care. Not with Randy setting his body on fire like this.

He clawed against Randy's scalp, bringing him closer and kissing him back with equal passion and fervor. His right leg wrapped around Randy's waist as Randy's weight didn't let up, still pressing him up onto his bedroom door.

Cody pulled away for breath, panting and gasping for air. Randy took this as an opportunity and pulled Cody's shirt quickly over his head and threw it on the ground like it was a burning bush. Cody grabbed his head and smashed their lips together again, resuming the heated duel between their tongues, snarling a bit into Randy's mouth.

When it came time for Randy to break away for air, he broke away for a split second, only to replace his lips on Cody's neck, making the younger brunette moan loudly.

Randy let up on his weight, letting Cody have a lot more room and space. He pulled away from his neck and whispered, "So are we gonna go inside...or do you just have a door kink?"

Cody smiled as he turned his back on Randy for a moment to open the door to his bedroom. He walked in, leading Randy into his small room as well. Just as Cody turned around to face Randy, he was pushed back onto his bed with Randy hovering over him.

Cody pratically salivated over the pure fact that Randy was on top of him. The thought alone made his mind turn to mush and his cock rock hard.

Randy made short work of his shirt, throwing it on the ground. As soon as he settled himself comfortably, he began working on Cody's neck again, leaving sloppy kisses and sucking on his tender skin.

Cody let out a series of low, soft moans, the feeling of Randy's lips on his neck feeling like the most sinful heaven he had ever experienced. He could feel how ready Randy was as well through his darkwash jeans and it only built to the fire that burned within.

"I want you...now." Cody breathily moaned out, bucking his hips upward to emphasize his request.

Randy brought his head up and nodded in agreement. He unbuttoned and unzipped Cody's tight denim, throwing them on the floor.

"Condom?" Randy rumbled in Cody's ear, a hint of eagerness in his tone.

"Yeah...lemme check." Cody said as he wiggled from underneath Randy and opened his nightstand drawers.

Not here...nope...none in this one... Cody thought as he searched through all 3 drawers.

"Um...I'll be right back." said Cody, waving his hand. He got off the bed and went into Evan's room, opening the drawers in his nightstand.

"Fuck!" He silently cursed to himself. He ran into the bathroom and searched every cabinet, every basket, and still...nothing. THEY HAD NOT ONE CONDOM IN THIS ENTIRE APARTMENT? UNBELIEVABLE.

He walked back to his bedroom where that GOD was just ready to fuck him and he couldn't find ONE condom in the entire place. Disappointed was an understatement.

"Find one?" Randy said, sprawling out on Cody's queen-sized mattress.

Cody bit his bottom lip in approval because Randy's body was perfect. Not one flaw on that tanned, delicious body. He snapped out of his little train of thought before he laid down next to Randy and pouted. "No...I didn't."

"Thought so." Randy said as he shook his head and sat up, looking down at Cody.

"Rain check?" Cody asked, hoping Randy said yes.

"Hmm...maybe, but while you were gone...I was thinking..." Randy said, smacking his lips together, Cody's ears immediately perking up.

"I was thinking maybe we should just be friends. That way you won't lose your job, I won't get charges pressed against me, everybody wins."

Cody's only response was a hushed "Oh."

"Hey..." Randy said, dipping low to press a brief kiss on Cody's lips. "...it's for the best, you know that right?"

Cody nodded his head, his eyes still found with disappointment.

"Don't be disappointed. I'm having a little company BBQ for one of my subsidiaries on Wednesday. You should come. Bring a friend, I don't give a fuck." Randy chuckled, finding his shirt on the floor and putting it back on.

"Alright, I...I'll be there, and I'll ask Evan if he wants to come." said Cody bashfully.

"Good, because this 'only seeing you in the nighttime at your work' thing we have going isn't really working for me." Randy teased, leaning down and claiming Cody's mouth once more.

The phone began to ring in the living room loudly, disrupting the short moment between the two, making Cody get up hesitantly to go answer it.

"Hello? Oh hey Evan..." Cody answered.

"Yeah, I'm still at the house, just hanging out. What was that? Oh. That's fine. Don't worry about it, really. It's okay."

Randy smiled to himself as he laid back on Cody's bed, sighing contently. He should really put his pants back on, he thought but he quickly dismissed that as he made himself comfortable on Cody's warm comforter.

Cody gingerly made his way back in the bedroom after hanging up the phone in the living room. He shyly crept up onto the bed and laid down next to Randy, almost unsure of what to do.

"Why so nervous?" Randy whispered against Cody's hairline, lightly brushing Cody's arm up and down with his fingertips.

"I just...well I...it's just that..." Cody stuttered, giving an exasperated sigh,

Randy chuckled softly, leaning down and giving Cody a soft, lingering kiss, whispering "Don't be".

"It's stuff like this!" Cody almost shouted before lowering his voice. "Stuff like this that makes me confused and unsure of anything...what the actual fuck are we doing?"

Randy met Cody's eyes lustfully before ushering a reply, kissing his lips briefly whispering against them, "Like this?" then moving lower and pausing to place a harder kiss on Cody's soft neck, rumbling "And this?"

"Yes, like that..." Cody said, trying hard to fill his voice with convinction but ended up quivering and making it come out as a somewhat plea.

"Don't worry about it. This doesn't have to be anything..." Randy reassured, outstretching his arms and wrapping them around Cody.

Cody gave a frustrated huff but relaxed into Randy's hold, enjoying the combined warmth of his comforter and Randy's torso.

He laughed softly, tapping Randy light on the chest. "I think you should put your pants on."

Randy yawned in response, murmurring a groaned "Mmm...but why?"

Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in his head and he leant down and gave Cody a quick kiss on the cheek. "I have an idea. Get dressed."

"What? What are we doing?" Cody asked, a surprised expression gracing his features.

"You'll see..." Randy said, quickly putting on his pants and searching for his shirt.

Cody gave a sigh, but complied. He finished redressing himself before Randy nearly dragged him out of his apartment and back onto the sidewalk of the avenue.

"Where are we going?" Cody asked, getting no response. "Randy?"

"I thought we'd have a little fun, just as friends." Randy winked, walking confidently.

Randy bumped his shoulder into a guy walking the opposite direction and smirked back at him for a split second, shortly resuming in his direction with Cody.

"Do you know that guy?" Cody inquired.

"Fucked him." Randy arrogantly replied, smirk still plastered on his face.

"No way!" Cody cried. "Was he good?"

"You're awfully nosy." Randy gave an eyebrow, pausing for a second. His eyebrow fell and was replaced with that same smirk, replying, "He was alright."

"Was he like, your boyfriend?" Cody asked, suddenly very interested.

"You're too funny." Randy gave a chuckle and tussled Cody's hair lightly.

"So where are we going? You never told me." Cody pouted. A slight breeze blew in and he shivered, clinging to Randy's arm.

"Here." Randy said as they walked up to a gate with flashy lights, an attendant in a small booth at the head.

"An amusement park? Really?" Cody laughed.

"Yes, really. Maybe I could win you a bear or something." Randy said, turning to look at Cody then turning his attention to the attendant. "Two passes, please."

"Oh." Cody blushed. "...that sounds nice."

The small gate opened, the smell of popcorn and cotton candy filled Cody's nose and the bright lights and carnival music delighted his eyes and ears. He was in awe of all the rides and attractions, it almost felt like he was 12 years old again.

"Stay here, I'm gonna go get some cotton candy and popcorn, alright?"

"...okay."

Cody sat down on a bench by the Hurl-A-Whirl, swinging his legs back and forth, waiting for Randy to return.

Randy walked up to the booth selling different snacks, taking his wallet out his back pocket. A muscular man walked up and waited in the line next Randy, eyeing him up for a second.

Randy glanced back at the man, with confidence he said, "I take it...you're the flame-swallower, hm?"

"Yeah...I'm on break. Needed some water."

Randy chuckled before looking him dead in the eye, "I bet you're real good at what you do..."

The flame-swallower met his eyes and paused before replying, "You can say that. You can say...I'm the best at swallowing."

Randy's tongue darted out to wet his lips as he toyed with the idea. "You up for a demostration?"

XXXXX XXXXX

Cody looked at his watch and frowned. What was taking Randy so long to get some cotton candy and a bag of popcorn? It surely wouldn't take 20 minutes. He sighed as he walked towards the snacks booth, hoping to find where Randy went off to.

"Excuse me?" Cody asked. "Did a guy about this high, tanned skin, dark hair come by here and buy anything?" He moved his hands wildly to describe Randy, hoping to get an answer.

"No, kid. Sorry. NEXT!" The man in the booth called out.

Cody gave a huff and began walking in the other direction. Looking through the crowd of people, he saw Randy coming out of an empty black tent, zipping up his fly with a full smirk in place. Exasperated and cold, he walked briskly towards the older male, hugging himself for warmth.

"Where were you?" Cody shouted.

"I was...err...busy. I had something come...up and it needed to be attended to." Randy replied, smacking his lips together, avoiding Cody's harsh gaze.

"Whatever, I'm sure getting your dick sucked is a more important priority. Bye."

Randy raised an eyebrow as he watched Cody walk firmly away from him, the two passes still in his hand.

Cody walked into a small diner, not far from the amusement park. He sat down in a booth towards the corner where a server approached him for his order.

"Hey there. What'll you have?" The server asked. He looked a bit older, he was tanned and had a fauxhawk. Cody looked at his apron and saw that his nametag read "Mike".

"Oh...um...I'll have an iced tea and a bagel, please." Cody politely replied.

As Cody waited for his food to come out, he saw someone familiar come through the doors of the diner. Dolph, was it? He thought that's what his name was.

"Hey Dolph!" Mike called out from behind the counter.

"What's up, Mike?" Dolph called back, dropping his suitcase and jacket on the stool next to him and took a seat.

"I have a late shift tonight. Deven got salmonella so I have to cover for him."

"Damn, that sounds like a good time. You heard from Randy today?"

Cody was absentmindedly eavesdropping on the conversation but immediately tried hiding his face casually as soon as he heard they were talking about Randy.

"No, I haven't. He hasn't came in today." Mike said, setting down the order on Cody's table.

"HEY! I know you!" Dolph pointed.

Fuck.

"Yeah..." Cody awkwardly replied, plunging his straw into the glass of tea.

"Mike, did you know this boy is Randy's latest trick?" Dolph pointed out, nodding his head.

"No, I didn't." Mike said, putting out his hand. "I'm Mike. I'm a friend of Randy's."

"Cody." Cody said, shaking Mike's hand, looking away immediately.

Mike sat down on the seat across from Cody and chuckled. "No need to be embarrassed. Although, you are younger than what Randy typically goes for."

"How old are you, kid?" Dolph asked, turning towards him with interest.

"I...I just turned 21 a couple months ago." Cody said, his attempt at cracking a smile failing. Could he just die right there? This was so awkward!

"Damn, you are young. So how long have you been Randy's trick?" Mike asked, letting his elbows rest on the table and his chin rest on his hands.

"I'm not his trick." Cody scoffed. "We're not anything, I haven't done anything with him and I don't plan to."

"Got a feisty one here, Dolph." said Mike, winking at Dolph.

"Here." Cody said as he handed 5 dollars to Mike and walked towards the door of the cafe.

"Take care of yourself, kid." Mike waved as Cody walked out the door and onto the street.

"Ten bucks it doesn't last more than 2 weeks." Dolph said, sipping on his cup of coffee.

"Ten bucks it doesn't last more than this week." Mike laughed, getting up to serve the other customers.

XXXXX XXXXX

Cody opened the door to his apartment, exhaling as the smell of sugar cookies found his nostrils.

"Evan?" Cody called out into the kitchen.

"Cody, honey!" Evan's mom shouted as she gave Cody a tight hug and a kiss on the forehead. "How you been, sweetheart?"

"I'm doing okay...um, where's Evan?" Cody asked, looking around the small space.

"He's in the shower and I'm baking cookies. Come have one! I know how much you liked them when you and Evan were younger." Evan's mom gushed as she pulled Cody into the kitchen.

Cody sat down on the couch, content with his little plate of cookies when Evan came out of the shower with only a towel on, much to his mother's dismay.

"Evan!" His mother cried audaciously. "Have some decency!"

"It's nothing Cody's never seen before, right?" Evan said, smiling in Cody's direction.

"Right." Cody said, his mouth full of cookies.

"Where were you all day anyway, Codes?" Evan asked, sitting next to him on the couch.

"I...kept myself occupied. Walked around town...the usual..." Cody replied, stuffing his mouth with the last cookie on his plate.

"Hmm...interesting..." Evan said as he got up and went into Cody's room, coming back with an Affliction hoodie in his hand. "This doesn't happen to be yours...is it?"
