Black Rain

Cody sighed, looking out the window of the car as Dustin drove him to school. He'd missed the bus that morning from staying up so late the night before thinking about his and Teddy's afternoon together. He groaned, feeling himself start to stir at the thought. He looked up into the sky, the dark clouds threatening to open up and pour down on them in thick sheets of rain. "Crappy day," he muttered, looking over at the sleepy face of his brother. "I'm sorry that you had to drive me."

"It's rainy, and nasty. I'm not letting you walk to school and be late and I'm sure as hell not letting you get sick. I've got one person sick, we don't need another one," Dustin explained, looking over at Cody. "You okay?"

Cody nodded, looking up at the dreary letters of his high school. The clouds opened up just enough for the rain to fall through as he opened the door of the car and got out. "Thanks for the ride. I'll see you when I get off of work," he said, shutting the door and smiling, unsure if he really wanted to go inside the school or not. He started towards the few stone steps to the doors, the bell ringing only moments before, kids around him lazily making their way into the school. All he could think about was seeing Randy, and knowing once those perfect lips touched his, he was only going to be able to think of what had happened with Teddy in his room the day before. He sighed, straightening his hoodie, thankful that the weather was cooler and that no one would be able to see the red mark he'd gotten from Teddy.

Walking in, Cody felt the warm air hit him, the chatter of the surround people hurting his ears as his mind went back to the day before.

"That was probably one of the best blow jobs I've ever had," Teddy murmured finally, pulling away from Cody and moving to the bed, pulling Cody up with him. His back was propped against a few pillows, Cody's head once again on his chest. "And you said you didn't know what you were doing."

Cody's eyes narrowed. "I didn't. Don't make me sound like a whore or something," he snapped, pulling away only to be met with resistance.

"I didn't mean it that way," Teddy apologized. "Really I didn't."

Cody relaxed again after a moment of wanting to be angry only to be unable to do it. He stayed quiet, his mind mulling over what had just happened.

"Too bad this is it."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cody asked, looking up at the gorgeous face. His heart thumped hard against his chest. Unsure if it was hormones or not, Cody couldn't deny that Teddy had something over him.

Teddy opened his eyes, and looked down into the curious ones below him. "This." He motioned with the arm that wasn't wrapped around Cody's shoulders to their position: Cody flush against his side, one leg thrown over the closest one of Teddy's, the dark head against his chest, both almost completely naked. "You want things to go back to the way they were because of him," he clarified, his free hand tipping Cody's chin up to steal a kiss from the soft lips. "It's too bad. I don't want to share you, or your lips."

Cody knew he should've been pissed about the implication that Teddy was making, but he just couldn't find himself to be. "It doesn't matter, you have Maryse," he said softly, pulling away and moving to put his clothes on.

"Not because I want her. I rather be with a dead person than that thing."

"Necrophiliac."

Teddy's eyes narrowed. "That's not funny."

"Why not?"

"Because even though I like sex, I'm not desperate enough to dig up a partner, besides, I rather hear something from between those lips."

"You're not very quiet either."

Teddy was surprised. "How would you know that?"

Cody paused, fiddling with the button of his pants. "Today," he said shortly.

Teddy smiled wide. "You wouldn't know that from just today. You've been listening in on me, haven't you?"

Cody turned, eyes locking with Ted's. "I came up yesterday to say goodbye and you and Ms. French Slut were still going at it. I could hear you through the door."

Teddy's smile faded into a smirk. "I was thinking of you, like you told me to. That's the only reason I was so noisy. Normally, Maryse does all the work."

Cody's cheeks flushed as he turned away again. "It doesn't matter."

Teddy got off of the bed, making his way towards Cody and wrapping his arms around the small waist, his fingers once again moving over the crotch of Cody's jeans. "I don't plan on having company. You sure you don't wanna do it again?"

"Cody!" Jeff's voice knocked Cody out of his little dream land, the worried green eyes focused on blue ones. "You awake?"

Cody shook his head. It would just be easier to say no than it would to explain what he was really thinking about. "Sorry," he murmured, looking around to find that he'd made his way to his locker out of memory and was with Jeff and Ken. "How pissed was your dad?"

Jeff winced, thinking of the yelling he'd gotten, only to get it twice as bad after Matt and Eve tried to help. "You ever seen a bull on the day it just got branded? Yeah, you woulda thought he was one of those only ten times worse," he explained, taking Ken's hand in his and leading him along with him and Cody. "How bout your dad?"

Cody paused, thinking about what his dad had actually said. "About as bad. I can't have friends over and I can't see Randy except here in school. I got one of those 'I'm not mad I'm disappointed even though I'm not going to say it' talks," he said, looking back at his best friend and his lover. "I'm sorry you had to jump in."

Ken shrugged. "Didn't matter to me, my folks didn't care as much as Gil and your dad did. I know that my dad worked me like a slave though, telling me if I was going to kicked out of school for three days I could work during that time," he explained, pointing to Evan and Ron talking.

Cody smiled, seeing that Evan was in a pretty good mood after everything. "Hey," he greeted, waving as they got closer.

"Hey!" Evan and Ron answered, joining the group and walking with them.

"My mom chewed my ass for over an hour over it," Ron said, playing with one of his eye brow rings. "I'm glad she had to go to work or else she would've kept going."

Evan nodded. "I know what you're saying," he retorted, rubbing his tired face. "Mom and dad had one of those 'family meetings' with me and I think they sat there for about an hour just telling me how 'disappointed' they were in me and 'how I should be smarter than that'. I would have rather had someone throw me back into the damn fight."

Cody smiled, his heart thudding when his eyes landed on Teddy, the heavenly face turned towards his girlfriend, and arm around her waist as he talked with his own little group of friends. He wanted to smile, say hi, run, look away, anything to keep his eyes on Teddy but stay away at the same time in fear of taking the chance to kiss those perfect lips again.

Teddy looked up, his eyes landing on Cody. He smirked, eyes softening as he watched the group walk by. He ignored Maryse's babbling long enough to watch Cody turn to catch a final glimpse after he'd past. All he could think of was how he would change Cody's mind about going back to normal.

Cody sat at the lunch table, quiet as he watched his friends fall around him into chatter and happy talks of what they were going to do once they had gotten their parents off their back over the fight. He sat there, poking at his school lunch with his plastic fork, mindlessly staring down through the table. He looked up dull eyes finding nothing but blue looking back at him. He paused, blinking as he looked across two tables to where Teddy and his friends sat. Those blue eyes were looking back at him, making Cody's heart thump and body jitter. A soft smile touched his lips, as he allowed his and Teddy's eyes to have their own conversation.

"See something interesting?" Jeff asked, leaning over to see what Cody was looking at.

Cody broke eye contact with Teddy and shook his head, returning to poking his lunch. "Nothing important," he muttered, giving a fake smile for coverage. "I haven't seen Randy yet today."

"I don't think he's quite here today," a heavenly voice stated, sitting on the other side of Cody.

"And you thought he was sacrificed to alternate school," John teased Ron, laughing at the look he got from the newest member of their group.

"It was a possibility babe. I mean, my mom has been saying if I didn't straighten up she was sending me off to boot camp. She did it to my sister, what makes you think she wouldn't do it to me?" Ron retorted, pushing John off the edge of the seat.

Randy chuckled, stealing a kiss from his boyfriend. "I'm sure my dad thought about it. Thankfully mom picked me up that day." He turned to Cody, wrapping his arm around the small shoulders. "I missed you."

Cody smiled back, this time a real one on his lips. "I missed you too," he answered, leaning against the strong chest. "I want to talk to you later."

Randy nodded. "After school?"

"I have work but, I guess it'll be okay for a little while," he said, nodding. He couldn't lie and say that he wasn't sure how Randy was going to take it. Sure, the first time was okay because he hadn't really done anything back willingly. He'd done it to get Teddy off of him, but this time… this time he'd allowed it, even initiated it at one point. "I'll be right back."

Randy nodded, kissing Cody before he got up and made his way into the bathroom. "Did I miss something while we were on vacation?" he asked the group, knowing they had to know something.

Jeff shook his head. "He hasn't talked about it much at all. He's grounded and stuff but he's been off all day. I don't know what's going on."

Evan nodded in agreement.

Randy looked to the boys bathroom door, unsure if he should go in and check on Cody or not. He didn't want to jump into Cody's problems without first knowing it was something his boyfriend wanted to talk about or not.

Cody sighed, leaning against the door of the stall. He wasn't sure how he was going to tell Randy what had happened. He couldn't bastardize Teddy just to save his relationship, that and it wasn't all Teddy anyway. "What the fuck!" he snapped, kicking the wall across from him, thankfully missing the toilet bowl because he was sure he would have broken it, or his foot, with the force of his kick.

"It's unhealthy to talk to yourself," Teddy's soft voice echoed.

"It's your fault I'm in this mess," Cody snapped back, sighing. "I don't know how I'm going to tell Randy what happened…." He opened the stall door, finding Teddy sitting on the counter with the sinks.

"Then don't."

Cody sighed. "It's not that simple," he muttered, unconsciously taking a few steps towards Teddy.

"Why not?" Teddy asked, widening his legs to accommodate where Cody was going to stand. "Either you can tell him, have it possibly work out happily or it can end badly or you can not tell him and be guilt-ridden but happy that you're not hurting him."

Cody sighed again, stopping when he was only a step or two from being in Teddy's arms again. "This isn't normal," he started, stepping away. "Go back to hating me already, it was easier that way!"

Teddy groaned in frustration. "You're fucking dense Cody." He jumped down from his perch and pushed Cody back into an empty stall. He locked the door behind him. "We can't go back to how it was. I'm not going to lie to myself and act like this thing we have doesn't effect me. No, I don't love you. I don't want to date you but I do know that whatever it is that makes me attracted to you isn't going to turn itself off." His hands dug into Cody's shoulders. "Don't act like you don't like me either."

Cody turned his head away. He stayed silent, knowing he couldn't lie.

"My hickey is showing," Teddy said softly, leaning in and pressing a kiss to the red mark. "Did he see it yet?"

Cody shook his head, unable to bring himself to push Teddy away. "Don't do this here," he whimpered, his fingers clinging to Teddy's long sleeves. "No!" He let out a soft moan as Teddy's lips worked against his skin, that velvety tongue moistening the skin and Teddy's hot breath cooling it.

Teddy began to suckle the skin again, this time moving his hands to take Cody's in his. He smiled inwardly when he was only met with a slightly louder groan.

"Please, don't Teddy," Cody breathed, trying hard to get the will to push Teddy away.

"Cody! Are you okay in here?"

"Shit!" Cody muttered in a panic. He pushed Teddy up on the top of the toilet to keep from both of their legs being seen. "I'll be out in a minute! Just go back to the table and wait for me."

The footsteps got closer and louder, at least to Cody's ears. "I just wanted to tell you that we're going to the gym, so, we'll meet you in there."

"Kay!"

The footsteps faded and the door slammed shut.

"Fuck," Cody muttered, letting Teddy get down. "Thank you for hiding."

Teddy grumbled a response. "Listen to me Cody. You can either lie or not, either way, I'm still going to be the one that makes you act like you did yesterday."

Cody pushed Teddy away back into the wall with the piping to the toilet. "Believe it or not, it felt better to have Randy do it, than when you did," he shot back, thinking back to how good it felt to be touched at Teddy's party.

Teddy narrowed his eyes. His pride hurt. Sure he hadn't been the first to touch that little body, he'd gotten into it with Randy over touching what belonged to him. "Fine. I hope Randy sees my mark on you."

Teddy sighed, ignoring his friends as he made his way to his home. He had called Virgil, telling him he was going to walk home. It wasn't like it was a long walk anyway. He shoved his hands into his pockets as he started down the concrete path. Smiling, he pulled out the joint he'd bought just after his meeting with Cody. The other pocket held the lighter. He put it to his lips and lit it, breathing in the mind quieting and mind numbing love.

The rain was pouring around him, the black droplets covering him in mere seconds, their long sticky blackness putting more weight on his shoulders. Easily, the blackness covered him, seeping through his clothes right into his skin, staining it just as black.

Teddy looked into a puddle, seeing his face blackened with the water falling from the sky. "Why?" he asked, heart heavy in the question. He looked closer, finding the darkness of the rain all around him, swallowing him, treading lightly behind him, ready to strike any moment. He smirked, walking slightly faster. He dropped the roach and stepped on it, smiling at his high.

Thoughts raced as the inky blackness enveloped Teddy, his body going numb and his eyes glazing over with death. Allowing the darkness to take over, Teddy smirked, the darkness consuming him, leaving nothing but a broken shell.

Cody waited under the ledge in the front of the school. He was shaking with fear. He tried to breathe deep to calm himself, finding that it wasn't helping him. He looked up into the sky, the dark clouds inky. He knew he'd have to hurry to Teddy's after his meeting with Randy, no matter if it ended good or bad. He sighed, crossing his arms, trying hard to keep composed and not run when he saw Randy making his way towards him. He smiled slightly, letting the bigger man hug him.

"What's wrong babe?" he asked, pulling away and looking down into the scared blue eyes. "What happened?"

Cody took in a big breath, looking down at the concrete. "While we were suspended, I spent more time at Ted's working." He paused wondering how he was going to phrase the rest of it. "I'm sorry Randy… I ended up making out with him. It just happened and… and I know that it sounds bad because it is bad, but I don't want Teddy. It's like he's playing with my head and all I really want is to tell you and I know you're going to be mad at me but…."

Randy stopped Cody, a finger to the soft lips. "I knew something happened," he said softly, pushing away the edge of Cody's hoodie, showing the red mark on his neck. "I saw it at lunch. I didn't want to say anything in front of the others."

Cody's eyes teared up. He was thankful that the rain was falling harder and his face was getting wet from that. "I'm sorry… I never wanted it to happen." It was true, he'd never wanted to lock lips with Teddy, but after it started he couldn't bring himself to stop.

Randy exhaled loudly, shoving his hands in his pockets. "Do you want to be with me?" he asked, looking down at the smaller male. "I don't want to sound like I'm giving you an ultimatum because that's not what it is, but if you have feelings for Ted then this is just going to keep happening and I don't want to get hurt and I don't want you to get hurt either."

Cody looked up in shock. "Of course I want to be with you! I don't want this to happen with Ted. I want you Randy," he stated, wishing he had quit when he had the chance.

Randy nodded. "Okay. Jeff told me you were grounded, but when your dad lets up on it, do you think I could meet him? I want him to know who you're with."

Cody smiled, nodding. "I'd like that."

(A/N): That was a rather quick chapter. Cookies for who ever understands what's going on with Teddy at the end! Well, I'm putting off a paper for class so no hints for next chapter, sorry loves. Tell me what you think please! Title is Black Rain by Dark Lotus.
