The night was warm, the sand was rough and the waves were soothing. This is where Ted had brought him. The beach. A cooling breeze whips past them as they stand there and look out at the water. "Wow," Cody breathes in amazement, his eyes sparkling as the moon shown in them.
"Yeah," Ted replies, turning towards the brunette, who was looking at him, a smile on his lips.
"Let's go swimming,"
"Cody-"
"Please Teddy" Cody begs, grabbing Teds hand, pulling him towards the water. Soon they're right in front of the water, and Cody jumps in fully clothed. Ted rolls his eyes, sitting on the sand watching Cody get battered around by the water. In no time, Cody had decided to strip out of his shirt, leaving on his camouflage shorts. Cody chuckles, floating on his back, not expecting when Ted jumps in landing halfway on top of him. They both laugh, floating impossibly close to each other. The moonlight reflects off the surface of the water, shining in Cody's azure orbs, pulling Ted in closer. Cody smiles, his eyes on Ted's gorgeous emerald orbs.
"Cody?"
"Hm?"
"Can I kiss you?"
The next day, the sunlight shining down on the pool in John's back yard. Everyone was around, happily swimming and eating the hamburgers and hot dogs that Chef Jay-C was happily making. Holli-J chuckles softly as Taylor dunks Paul under the water, and as Brian stifles his laughter in his lemonade that spews everywhere. Randy rolls his eyes, glancing around the pool over to where Ted was talking to Cody, his arm curled protectively around the younger males shoulders. The unofficial leader raises an eyebrow at the two, wondering what was up.
"Holy shit!" John yells backing away from the grill, which had somehow caught on fire. Somehow meaning John did something to it.
"What the hell'd you do?" Randy asks, walking over to where John was frantically trying to put out the flames. Now, if you'd been watching from the outside, like Holli, Taylor, Brian, Paul, Ted, and Cody, you would find this quite hilarious. John was batting at the flames with the spatula, and Randy was yelling at him to calm down. Holli sighs, walking over to where Brian was sitting, taking his fresh glass of lemonade, waltzing over to the grill and pouring it on it. Effectively putting it out, earning a sigh of relief from John, who earned a slap on the back of the head from Randy.
"Idiots" Holli murmurs, giving Brian back the empty glass. Brian stared at the empty glass, a pout on his face. Not fair, he just got that. Everything goes back to 'normal' after that, chatting and dunking people in the pool. That was until the 'Nexus' showed up, how they new John's address was unknown to all of them. They jumped the fence in the back yard, and well, earned stares from the group. Holli was the first to step up, stomping over to Wade. He stared down at her, because of her shortness, and she stares up at him. SMACK! Holli-J had punched Wade yet again in the jaw. No one rushes to his aid, stepping back as Randy seems to come out of no where and chuck Wade into the pool. They glance over at the group as if to say who's next, only to find them scrambling over the fence.
"Traitors!" Wade yells, clambouring out of the pool then jumping the fence to chase after his goons. Holli high fives Randy, nerdishly like she always does. Randy's gaze moves over to Ted and Cody, who had moved closer and were giggling like boyfriend and girlfriend.
"What the hell is with you two?" Randy yells over at the two, who blush and quickly separate. Randy raises an eyebrow questioningly. "You two got something you need to tell us?"
"u-uhh... w-well..." Cody stammers, and Ted rolls his eyes.
"We're dating" He says, pressing a kiss on Cody's cheek. Both braced for insults but were welcomed by cheers.
"'Bout time you two idiots started dating" Holli says plainly, smirking over at the two.
"Definitely" Brian agrees, taking a sip of his refilled lemonade. His gaze then shifts over to where Randy was standing. "Now, when are you and Jay-C getting together?" A blush colors Randy's face and he coughs.
"We're not gonna get together Brian," Randy says, and everyone except John and Randy roll their eyes.
"Sure your not Rand, sure your not" Holli says, patting Randy on the shoulder, before going to get a hamburger.
Later that evening, Randy was staying yet another night at John's house. They were piled on the couch again, watching Live Free or Die Hard eating popcorn when Randy decides, unconsciously, to lay itself on John's shoulder. Somehow it fit there comfortably, and it didn't bother the other brunette. A soft smile comes to John's face as Randy curls up closer to him. "Randy, you asleep?" He whispers, poking Randy's cheek.
"No," Randy answers, his grey eyes leaving the screen to glance over at John. "What time is it?" Randy asks, lifting his head off of John's shoulder.
"1:20, wh-"
"Shit!" Randy jumps off the couch. "I gotta get home, he's gonna beat me" Randy made a dash for the hall, where his shoes were sitting just inside the door, but John made it there quicker, blocking his exit.
"I'm not letting you go if he's gonna beat you Randy" John says, crossing his arms over his chest.
"John, I've gotta go,"
"No, Randy, I'm not gonna let you" Randy sighs, running a hand through his hair.
"I've spent enough time here, John. He doesn't like me hanging out with you 'cos I'm getting to attached to another man..."
"Fuck Randy, so what? Another year and you'll be able to move out... What are you gonna do then? Not talk to us anymore-"
"It's only you John" Randy mumbles, hugging himself his gaze hitting the floor.
"Why?"
"I like you more than I allow myself to admit" Randy says, slipping on his Nike's, before slipping past John and leaving him standing there. He gets half way down the drive way when John catches him, pulling him back and pressing his lips to Randy's. The taller of the two melts into John's arm, allowing himself to be kissed by the other, his eyes slipping shut. A wonderful feeling settles in his stomach and explosions go off behind his eyelids. John was definitely something he should try more often.
