Reaching Out

Teddy watched as Mike made his way back into his room, his stuff in hand, his face downcast to the floor. He sighed, seeing the life gone in the usually cheery eyes of his brother. "Mike," he whispered, sighing as the door shut, signaling that Mike wanted to be alone. He stepped back into his room, shutting his own door and walking over to his bed. He sat down on it, falling backwards with his arms stretched out. His eyes brows furrowed, his face contorting into a glare at the ceiling. "Fuck…" He looked towards his pillow, remembering how him and Cody had been laying on his bed chatting before he had attacked those lips for himself. The memory was nothing compared to the actual time but Teddy would take what he could get, knowing no matter how hard he tried, he would never really get to take those lips as he his own, without Cody thinking of someone else. He sighed, grabbing a pillow and hugging it, knowing that his brother had sealed his fate of never being with Cody.

Teddy tried to ignore the nagging feeling inside him to go talk to Mike and find out what had happened, why he was home, knowing that he had to give up being happy just to come back to their miserable house. Turning his attention to Cody, he felt his heart race yet his entire body drooped into the mattress. Those blue eyes were so beautiful and enchanting, full of youth and love, want, and fear, everything that Teddy knew those exact feelings.

The fear of wanting someone he never thought possible, the need to have Cody when he was male, and not a woman. The fear of his father, and his reaction to even the slightest idea to him and Cody being anything more than boy and servant, let alone friends or more.

The want of each other; the carnal need that possessed him every time he was around Cody since the first moment he had ever thought about more with him.

He knew every want, need, emotion Cody was going through, whether or not Cody knew it or not. He knew the fear, the confusion, the unknowing property of it all. He sighed, throwing his pillow and getting up, he looked towards his glass door to his own little balcony and noticed the pitch blackness outside. He didn't know how long he'd been laying on his bed thinking, but he knew he had to do something to break out of the mold, show Cody it wasn't going to be like Dustin and Mike. He grabbed his jacket on the back of his chair to his desk and smirked, knowing he could make it out of the house without being noticed.

Cody was laying back on his back, watching the moon through his window, thinking about Dustin and Mike. He didn't want to go in the next day. He sighed, thinking how upset everything had made Dustin. He didn't want to be like that with Teddy. He couldn't afford to be like that with Ted. He was already putting his heart on the line just seeing Teddy, he wasn't going to be able to handle if they were together.

He blinked, sighing again. He wished he could quit the feelings he had for Teddy and just spend his time with Randy. He hated that it was looking like he couldn't do that. He groaned, pulling the covers up over his bare chest. A stray hand moving down to his crotch, his eyes closing for only a moment as he grabbed himself over his sleep pants.

He groaned lowly, knowing that it wouldn't be Randy starring in his fantasy. He could see Teddy and him again, this time more intimate than before, Teddy inside of him and it feeling amazing. He turned to his side, eyes tightly closed, as he thought of them moving together, up and down, back and forth in every direction and position possible.

Cody wasn't given a chance to finish, mainly because a light tapping distracted him and made him bolt upright in his bed. He looked to his window, finding the bold, smiling face of his boss there, a sly, sneaky smile on his perfect lips. He touched his chest, feeling his beating heart ache. He forgot about his softening erection and opened the window, letting in the cool night air. "What are you doing?" he asked, moving back and allowing Teddy to climb in.

"I wanted to see you," Teddy answered, sitting in front of Cody, smiling as he closed the window. "Took me forever to find your window."

Cody was shocked. He tried not to look around his less than grand room, knowing Teddy was used to better and more beautiful things. "It's like midnight," he started, looking back into the dark blue eyes. "Why?"

Teddy cut Cody off, pressing their lips together, his hand cupping the back of Cody's head. He moved closer, his body pushing Cody's back against his twin size bed, his hand stuck between Cody and the pillow as he devoured the mouth of his servant, finding that Cody wasn't fighting back. "I had to see you Cody. I want to be with you. I don't care about my dad. I saw Mike when he came home. I wouldn't leave you just to come home. I want you Cody, damn Maryse, damn my dad's company, damn everything," he said, looking down into the surprised eyes. "Cody I want a relationship with you."

Cody couldn't help but gape at the sudden confession. "I… Ted… I can't…" he whispered, pushing Teddy towards the wall and rolling to sit on the edge of the bed. "This is only going to be temporary. You know that. You won't be able to tell your dad no forever."

Teddy got off of Cody's bed and kneeled in front of him, taking the slim face in his hands and looking right into the blue depths. "Runaway with me Cody," he started, keeping Cody's eyes on his even as they tried to look away. "We'll go somewhere, live like kings. I have enough money I'll take care of you Cody."

Cody smiled softly. "I can't do that Teddy," he whispered, touching the backs of Teddy's hands with the palms of his. "I have my family, my dad. We have school, our friends," he rebutted. "I just can't."

"Then let me be with you Cody. I don't want anything else. How can I prove that to you?" Teddy asked, kissing Cody fully on the mouth again. He didn't pull away, clutching Cody as he kissed him frantically, almost like he was afraid that Cody would disappear. Easing open his mouth, he delved into Cody's loving the taste of the slightly younger male. He groaned, easing Cody back again onto the bed. Without realizing it, he was over Cody, one hand already plucking an exposed nipple, the other cupping the back of Cody's head.

Cody groaned, pulling Teddy closer to him, their hands working in an almost frenzy to get each other down to nothing. He let out a throaty moan, he hoped no one could hear when Teddy pressed a warm wet kiss to his hip. "Not here," he whimpered, easing Teddy up to him.

"What's wrong?" he asked, kissing Cody lightly.

"Everyone will hear," he answered, still feeling Teddy's hand move up and down his erection. "We have to be extra quiet."

"I can do that," Teddy answered, kissing back down Cody's body, resting his head against Cody's stomach, his eyes watching his hand move over the other man's hard appendage, knowing he'd never thought he'd be in that kind of situation. He smiled, pressing a kiss to the tip, his eyes moving up to Cody, who at that moment was biting into the heel of his hand to keep quiet.

Cody groaned, knowing his hand was muffling most of it. He almost burst immediately in Teddy's mouth. He looked down to apologize, finding that dark eyes did nothing but make him shiver with want. "Let me help you," he whispered, pushing Teddy to where he'd been and making his own way between the strong legs. He opened his mouth, taking the head in all at once and sucking.

Teddy groaned, biting his lower lip to keep from crying out. "Cody," he whimpered, running his fingers through the soft strands of hair. He allowed Cody to continue until he was almost to the point of no return before pushing him up and crushing their mouths together. He groaned into the kiss, maneuvering to be over Cody, their erections touching for the first time. Teddy let out a throaty moan his mouth covering the slightly louder one that Cody was releasing.

"Please, I don't want," Cody gasped out, his voice stopping at the look of intensity in those blue eyes above him. He really didn't want to go all the way, he couldn't, not yet.

"I won't do it all," he whispered, pressing a kiss to Cody's trembling lips. "I just want to show you what it's like." He took both in his hand, stroking them both at the same time, their thrusts already in tune with each others. "I'll be doing this to yours."

Cody nodded, unable to keep his eyes open at the sheer pleasure. "Where will you be?" he asked thoughtlessly, his eyes shooting open and heart racing when he felt Teddy pull away and the warm, now moist head pressed against his entrance. "You… you said…."

Teddy hushed him, shaking his head. "I'll be right here," he said, rubbing the head easily over the quivering hole, knowing deep down that Cody really wanted it to happen, but he also knew what it was like to not be ready. He wasn't going to do that to Cody. "Turn over."

Cody did that, his hips in the air on his hands and knees. He groaned uncontrollably when Teddy leaned over him, the slick cock between his pale half moons. He felt that hand on him again, this time stroking softly. He rocked with Teddy, knowing that Teddy was trying to show what it would be like, but it only made him want to do it more. He groaned, getting closer to finishing than he thought he was.

Teddy moved so he was under Cody, their cocks once again pressed against each other. "You can be in control now," he murmured, taking them in his hand and stroking them, smiling at the sudden jerky thrusts Cody was taking. He pulled Cody to him, their lips meeting as Cody continued to keep thrusting, his rhythm getting smoother.

"I'm going to…."

"I am too," Teddy stated, keeping those lips with his. "It's okay, don't stop." He groaned, Cody picking up speed, causing him to go first. His seed shot from between his hand and onto his belly and chest, completely missing Cody because just a moment later Cody was throwing his head back in a silent moan as he too shot, his seed mixing with Teddy's.

Cody looked down at the mess, and suddenly felt embarrassed. He got off of Teddy and pulled on his sleep pants before running out of the room only to return to a surprised Teddy, now sitting up on the side of his bed. He walked over, shutting his door and moving to clean Teddy off. "I'm sorry," he whispered, unable to look up.

Teddy tipped Cody's chin up so their eyes could meet. "I wanted you to. I didn't want to mess your sheets up." He leaned in for a soft kiss, earning a good shove backwards onto the pillows, a half naked boy in his arms only pulling away to lay next to him, their bodies fitting perfectly against each other. He rested his cheek against the top of Cody's head, pressing a soft kiss to the damp hair. "I'm sorry about what happened with Mike and Dustin."

Cody sighed, opening his drooping eyes. "Me too. Dustin was completely distraught," he answered, smiling softly before nuzzling closer into Teddy's side. "I don't want to be like that. I don't want to get hurt when I know your dad is always going to control you."

Teddy pulled Cody closer to him, knowing that Cody held some truth. "It won't. I'll take care of you. I don't care if my dad disowns me or not," he said, eyebrows furrowing as his arms tightened around Cody. "I care about you too much."

Cody smiled, pressing a small kiss to the side of Teddy's chest. He couldn't bring words of how happy he was to his lips. He just smiled, drifting off into a dream world of him and Teddy, lives together outside of high school and home.

When Cody awoke, he was alone and unsure if the night before had really happened or if it was just a dream. He rubbed his eyes, finding the note on his desk saying that Teddy had left right before dawn and would see him in school that day. He smiled, pressing a kiss to the paper, wishing it could be Teddy instead.

Teddy smiled, looking across the room to Cody, completely ignoring the notes that were being given. He looked back, noticing that Cody was moving, sure that he felt eyes on him. He devised a plan that he would ask Cody to ride home with him. He waited until the end of class before he walked over to Cody. "Wanna ride?" he asked, half of the class stopping and looking at them.

Cody looked up, smiling and accepting. He followed Teddy out to his car, ignoring the stares of the others. He looked over as he passed, seeing Jeff follow him with confused eyes. Mentally, Cody thought he would explain everything to him later. He made it out to Teddy's car, smiling as he got into the passenger seat. "When did you get your license?" he asked, watching as Teddy jumped in and started the engine.

"After I went by your house," he answered honestly, pulling out of the space and starting towards home. "I wanted to surprised you."

"You definitely did that," Cody commented, smiling as Teddy reached over and took his hand. "About last night."

"I'm sorry I didn't wake you up. You were sleeping so good," Teddy stated, smiling giving Cody a sideways glance. He saw the concern on Cody's face and his smile dropped, he pulled into the five car garage and turned the car off. He turned to Cody, unsure if he wanted to hear what Cody was going to say.

"Let's go slow with this Ted. I'm not going to say I didn't like it, because we both know that's a lie, but… I don't want us to rush anything," he said, looking down at his now folded hands in his lap before looking up into the dark eyes on him. "Okay?"

Teddy smiled, nodding. "Okay," he said, getting out and grabbing his bag. He looked over to Cody, taking a few steps towards him and pressing a soft kiss to Cody's lips. He smiled, pulling away before leading them out and up to the big house.

Cody shut the door behind them, walking over to Teddy's desk and pulling up his spare chair. "Let's get your math homework done," he started, pulling out his own homework. He worked with Teddy for the better part of an hour, his eyes flickering over to Teddy more times than he cared to admit to. He frowned once they were done, remembering what Teddy had said about Maryse coming over. He started to pack up, wishing he didn't feel so jealous of the blond bimbo.

"Where are you going?" Teddy asked, standing up and rubbing his face.

"Maryse will be here soon."

Teddy nodded, forgetting about his girlfriend. "I wish she wasn't."

Cody nodded, zipping his bag up and turning back to Teddy. "She's your number one priority right now," he whispered, looking back at the bag.

"Not anymore," Teddy returned, pulling Cody to him. "You are."

Cody tried not to smile, knowing no matter what the charade had to go on with Maryse and Teddy. "I'll see you tomorrow," he finally said, leaning in and pressing a kiss to the soft lips. He paused, dropping his bag and wrapping his arms around Teddy's neck, quickly deepening the kiss. His heart started to race, Teddy's tongue touching his, their mouths devouring the others. He couldn't stop his hands from moving over the strong chest, his hands sneaking up Teddy's shirt.

"Don't have time for that," Teddy groaned, pulling away from Cody and his teasing fingers. "Not today."

Cody nodded, pulling the rest of the way away with a blush. "Sorry," he whispered, grabbing his bag. "I'll see you tomorrow then."

Teddy nodded, leading Cody to the front door, watching as Maryse's driver pulled up, getting ready to help her out of her car. "I'll see you tonight, if you want."

Cody smiled, shaking his head. "It's okay. I'll see you at school," he said, wishing he could press a kiss to those lips. He watched the other blond come up, wrap her arms around Teddy's neck and nuzzle into his side. He watched as Maryse led Teddy inside. He followed, catching Teddy's eyes before leaving.

(A/N): Well… what to say? Teddy snuck out to see Cody and had a startling revelation! (not really startling) What's in store for the next chapter? Another visit? Another confession or will it all break down? All this and more will be answered in the next chapter! Tell me what you think lovelies! Title and entire chapter were inspired and named after Reaching Out by Queen feat. Paul Rogers.
