I Think I Like You
Cody sighed, watching Teddy and Randy splashing around the pool, today they had AJ and Nick over, all joking and splashing around carefree. He was waiting until it was time to go, hoping that his father was doing better. He'd left that morning, hearing him coughing and gasping for breath again, his bronchitis getting worse again. He hoped it didn't turn into pneumonia. He looked down at his feet, wondering when he'd have time for himself, at least long enough to see how his family was.
He sighed again, hating how selfish Teddy was, how ignorant he was to how other people had to struggle to even attempt to get by. He hated how Teddy treated people, sure that if he knew what it was like to see that kind of pain, or even experience a small fraction of it, how he would change his attitude towards people. He looked up at the four, rolling his eyes at AJ and Teddy, those two splashing each other while Nick cannon balled off the side of the pool next to them, Randy over to the side, watching them, looking mildly amused. He looked down at his feet again letting his thoughts take over.
Randy looked over at Cody. He smirked, thinking he would actually have a chance to talk to the smaller teen. He got out of the pool, looking back to see if he was being noticed, luckily he wasn't between Teddy and Nick both trying to dunk AJ. He wrapped his towel around his waist and sat down next to Cody. "You look bored," he said, making the smaller of them jump.
Cody looked up, smiling softly, trying to hide the blush that was painting itself on his cheeks. "Just thinking," he replied honestly.
"Yeah, what about?" Randy asked, leaning back on the pool chair, smiling at the warm rays of sun.
Cody shrugged. "Mostly my dad."
"Ok?"
Cody looked up into the curious eyes. "He's really sick. He has severe Bronchitis and with winter right around the corner if he doesn't get better soon, it's only going to get worse." He took a deep breath, exhaling hard and looking down at the concrete. "My brother takes care of him instead of going to college. He works nights and me and my sister take care of him when he works," he explained, resting his cheeks in his hands, his elbows on his knees. "I'm sorry for just laying all of this on you. It's not really like you should care about it."
Randy wrapped an arm around Cody's shoulders. "I do care," he whispered, pressing the side of their heads together. "Is that why you work for Ted? To make up some extra money for your family?"
Cody nodded, almost ashamed. He never got the chance to keep much of his earnings, most of it went to bills and medical bills and supplies and new clothes for Kristin, she would always be more important than himself. He was ashamed that he had to work for a little worm like Teddy, but he wasn't ashamed of working to help support his sister and sick father.
Randy smiled, tipping Cody's chin up to look him in the eye. "That's one of the most admirable things I've ever heard of someone doing Cody. I hope he gets better soon, he's gotta see the amazing son he's raising," he said, looking deep into the blue eyes.
Cody looked away, trying not to blush. He knew he was failing miserable when he felt his cheeks start to sear with heat. "I'm sorry…" he whimpered, pulling away from Randy's soft touch.
"You don't like me?" Randy questioned, taking his arm back.
"That's the problem. I really think I do like you… and that's a first to me since all I've been around is Teddy, and… I don't want to come on strong and find out that you're not interested in me at all," he explained, almost too quickly to understand. "I'm afraid that you're just being friendly and I'm gonna be some crazy gay boy trying to come onto you."
Randy looked into the scared eyes, smiling softly before chuckling. He earned a confused look, and started to laugh. "Cody, if I didn't like you, I wouldn't have kissed you the other day. Believe me, I'm interested in you and you aren't going to come off that way to me."
Cody blushed again, smiling softly. "I'm glad," he murmured, looking down at the ground before looking up into the equally blue eyes again. He wanted to kiss those lips in front of him badly.
"Cody! AJ and Maryse are thirsty! Get off your lazy ass and get them a smoothie or something!" Teddy called, his eyes narrowed on the two. "Randy c'mon man, get back in the pool, it's no fun beating up Nick and AJ alone."
Cody rolled his eyes and groaned, backing away from that godly face and going towards the kitchen to get the drinks for them. "Yeah, I'll get you something to drink, I'll piss in a glass and put ice in it, you'll think it's Mountain Dew or something…" he mumbled on the way in.
Randy sighed, watching the other boy go. He hadn't had the chance to ask for his phone number. He got back into the pool, knowing he'd get a chance the next day or sometime soon to ask.
Teddy smiled, kissing Maryse on the lips, his hand moving up her bare thigh to her hip, which had the thin strap of her white thong clinging to it. "How 'bout you take that little thing off and we get down to it?" he asked, his hand still traveling upwards to the mound of her breast. "Wouldn't you like that?"
Maryse nodded, kissing Teddy softly on the lips before pulling away and getting out of Teddy's bed to take it off. She licked her lips, turning around and slipping it off, giving Teddy a good view of her backside and freshly exposed cunt.
"Holy Hell!" Cody yelped, slamming the door shut, cringing every time he blinked, unable to get the image of Maryse naked and bending over with her tits facing him out of his mind. "You could warn someone!"
"Get the hell out of here! I don't want you here today!" Teddy yelled, anger prominent in his voice.
"Yeah! Get out little servant boy!" Maryse called after, her own voice high and switching between French and English.
"So I have the day off?" Cody asked, smiling to himself, if he had to suffer seeing that skank's naked body, he should get the day off.
"Yes, just get out!"
Cody smiled, he wasn't sure what he was going to do with his afternoon off, but he sure as hell wasn't going to stick around at the DiBiase house. He high tailed it out of there, running home and dropping his things off before making his way up to the arcade to find at least one of his friends, since that was were they all hung out together on the weekends at.
The arcade was loud, mostly with noises from the games but the heavy sound of music in the background, didn't help.
Cody walked around for a few minutes, finding Ken and Jeff, but no one else. "Hey guys!" he shouted, running up to the two. "Where're John and Evan?"
Jeff turned to Cody and shrugged. "I think John's with Ron and Evan is with AJ, doing that Chemistry project," he explained, pulling Cody and Ken over to the soda machines where it was a little easier to hear. "That's about all I know really."
"I see, I have to rest of the day off, I figured I could catch up with you guys a bit," Cody explained, leaning against a candy vending machine and sighing. He really didn't want to impose on Jeff and Ken's time together, since Jeff lived out in the country and Ken worked several hours more than part time at his fathers landscaping business. "It's cool though, you guys have some fun together, I'm gonna go take some time to myself."
Jeff nodded, hugging Cody tightly. "You know, this weekend there's going to be a bonfire out at my place, you are more than welcome to come out," he said, smiling when he pulled away. "And Randy too."
Cody rolled his eyes, saying his good byes to Ken as well, theirs only a bro hug, being that Ken wasn't very huggy with anyone but Jeff. "I'll see what's going on at home and see if I can, no promises though."
Jeff nodded again, pulling Ken towards the exit, probably taking them back to Ken's house to fool around for a bit.
Cody sighed, wondering what he was supposed to do with his time off. He could go home, take over for Dustin a little early, but he was sure that Dustin would probably tell him to go have some fun anyway, he was a teenager after all and he needed some time out of the house. He turned the corner and almost ran into another person. "Sor… Randy?" he questioned, looking into the blue eyes for a moment. "What are you doing here?"
The slightly older male smiled at Cody. "Hey Cody!" he greeted, taking the other males hand and leading him back into the snack bar where the noise of the arcade was almost muted. "No work?"
Cody shook his head. "Walking in on Ted and Maryse was enough, he gave me the entire day off. I don't really have anything to do until about seven," he admitted, looking across the red table at the handsome face.
Randy nodded. "I know how that goes, well sorta. Ted didn't want me to hang out with him today, now I know why. It's cool though, you wanna go hang out with me for the rest of the time you have?" he asked, smirking slightly. "I mean, you don't have anything else to do anyway, right?"
Cody shook his head again, smiling. "What do you want to do?" he asked, feeling his arm being taken in Randy's hand and led out of the arcade.
"Lets get something to drink."
Cody couldn't do anything but nod, his heart thumping rapidly in his chest, butterflies running rampant in his belly. If this wasn't something close to a crush, he didn't know what was. He followed almost giddily behind the other boy, the strong hand slipping down Cody's arm and finally around his hand before entering one of the more expensive ice cream shops. Cody's heart stopped, he knew he couldn't afford anything there, and he didn't want to say that out loud just to prove Ted right about him being on the lower end of poor.
"Do you like strawberries?" Randy asked, looking at the menus, before looking down at the smaller boy.
Cody nodded his head, trying to think of ways to tell Randy he would pay him back, or at least do something to make up for him paying.
"Good!" Randy chirped, pulling Cody to the counter and letting go of his hand before ordering an extra large strawberry shake with whipped cream and a cherry on top and a spoon.
The woman behind the counter nodded, taking the order and saying she would bring it to them.
Randy led Cody to a booth, sitting opposite of him and smiled. "It's nice to get a chance to talk to you without Teddy being around," he mused, stretching upwards and popping his back.
Cody rolled his eyes, knowing exactly what Randy was saying. "You have no idea. He's always that way. He treats me like his own personal slave and no one else can even talk to me not even Mike, his older brother," he explained, feeling like he was bitching too much about his boss. "But honestly, I don't want to talk about Ted, I have to deal with him all the time as it is, I don't want to think about him on my day off."
Randy smiled, reaching across the table and taking Cody's hand in his. "Good, because I don't really want to talk about Ted either, I rather talk about something a little more personal," he hinted, breaking their hands as their waitress came up, putting a large glass strawberry milkshake between them, two straws poking out on either side with a cherry on the top. "Drink up."
Cody tried not to blush as he took a sip, finding that the drink in front of him was probably the best milkshake he'd ever had. "This is amazing!" he chirped, looking up into the darker blue eyes. "Thank you. I'll buy our next time out."
"You want to go out with me again?" Randy asked, taking a sip himself, his eyes twinkling at the younger male. "I mean, I don't mind. I didn't know if I would be your type or not."
Cody blushed, looking down at the table. He was unsure of what to say, he was almost speechless. "I… You're sweet… I think you're cute… and I think I… I think you're my type. I mean, I think I like you," he admitted, looking down at his fingers fiddling in his lap. He smiled, looking up into the happy face. "I mean, that's not too forward is it?"
Randy shook his head, smiling. "You gonna help me finish this shake? I wanna take you somewhere else," he said, reaching out and opening his hand for Cody to take.
Cody did just that and allowed Randy to hold his hand as they finished the drink and left, their hands never leaving the other's. "So where are we going?" he asked after a few minutes of walking.
Randy smiled, wrapping an arm around Cody's shoulders and led him into what the cool kids called the local lovers lane. "You have a little time before you have to go home right?" he said, walking Cody over to the top of the hill looking over a valley with the sun setting.
"Yeah a little," Cody replied, standing next to the other man, his heart thumping hard in his chest. He was a little nervous on what he was doing. He never thought he would be alone with Randy, and nothing like this.
Randy smiled, turning so his body faced Cody's, their faces close together. "You know, this was really fun," he admitted, cupping the side of Cody's cheek with one hand. "You know what would make it perfect?"
"What's that?" Cody asked, hoping that Randy couldn't see the blush on his cheeks as much as he knew it was showing.
"This." Randy leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Cody's lips, causing the other boy to stiffen before actually kissing Randy back.
Cody felt his knees go weak as he stood there, one hand on his cheek, the other on his shoulder, his on Randy's shoulders. His eyes were closed and he had to admit that it felt like his heart was on fire. He felt the other boy pull away and he couldn't look up into the blue eyes.
"To tell you the truth, I think I like you too Cody. I know you'll have work again tomorrow, but maybe we'll get a chance to sneak off at least for a minute or two. At least if Randy will have me over."
Cody nodded, feeling more than a little bit naughty but completely fine with it. "I hope so," he whispered, leaning in and pressing a kiss to the slack mouth. "I have to go Randy, today was really fun. Maybe we can do this again soon."
Randy agreed, allowing Cody to run off, watching after him with a smile.
(A/N): Hey everyone. I know it's been a while since I last updated. I'm sorry about that. My classes have been kicking my ass and some family issues are really what's keeping me from writing.

Thankfully that didn't stick around for too long! So past all the bad news! Chapter 4 is finally up and Randy and Cody get more than a little alone time together! Fun huh? Well, enjoy it because next chapter may not be so pretty! Tell me what you guys think, like it or not so much? Thanks guys and I'm sorry for being gone so long! I missed all of you!
