"Dibiase it's good to see you aren't getting any more wrinkles in that ole face of yours." Dusty laughed loudly- most of his sentence being lost in translation. He never was fully understood not even by his family.

Ted Sr. just smiled at the always flamboyant and rambunctious legend. "And it's good to see you too my sweet Dusty."

"Oh don't try and woo me, daddy!" The blonde put up his hand and put on a pout that could only be described -even for his age- as cute.

"I love it when you call me daddy," Ted wiggled his eyebrows and kissed the hand before him. When Dusty gasped and yanked his hand away, he laughed that priceless laugh and strutted away.

Cody wanted to almost barf but the show of affection really was nice. In many ways he was like his father if not in appearance only. He knew he was a bit of a tease to some of the guys backstage especially the one that he knew wanted him the most. More than the dimpled Chaingang Soldier. Even more than the dominant prowler that was Randy Orton.

"So when are you going to get serious about it, pops?" Cody finally spoke up, moving away from the doorframe where he had been watching the whole thing play out.

Dusty chuckled and walked over to his boy with his hands in his pockets. "Son, I've had that old boy nipping at my heels since before you were born. When a person has been following you around that long, it is serious."

Cody flashed a warm grin at the cheeky senior. "But really, did you just never make it official because you didn't want to settle down? What stopped you from just falling for him? I mean I've seen younger Ted Sr. and he was a pretty handsome guy honestly."

"No no no, Cody my son; Teddy was fine!" Dusty emphasized by doing some swaying dance-like body movement and shivering afterwards. Cody had to cover his mouth to suppress a laugh. "He still is. There's just more of him to love."

"But...What was it?" Cody went back to his question with big interest.

Dusty pursed his lips and scratched his head before answering. "You know, I have an answer but it wasn't always my reason." He laughed a little, "When I was younger it was because it was just better for both of us. He needed to keep up with his gimmick and all that jizz. You know the deal with that." He let Cody register that and continued. "But as we got older, it wasn't about us anymore. It was about us putting our love aside for some younger, fresher affection."

Cody quirked his eyebrow quizzically but as his father gave him a knowing look, it dawned on Cody what he meant. He gasped as it hit him. "Me and Teddy? You didn't hook up with the million dollar man just so I could have my Teddy bear?" He actually had a little trouble registering that. "But how did you know...?"

"Well to have it simply put," Dusty wiped his face and gazed up to the ceiling as he pulled a memory. "Whether little Ted tries to hide it or not, he just has that Dibiase libido and you, my son, have that Rhodes attraction if you will baby."

Cody nodded in agreement and checked his watch. It was time for him to make an appointment so he hugged his father and exited in a rush.

He thought about Dusty and Ted Sr.'s relationship and what his father had said. It made him laugh at how his father was right. Partially right that is.

He arrived at the hotel in mere minutes and went up to the pent house suites. Slowly he eased the key he had literally taken from the front desk unbeknownst to anyone. Upon entering the room, he smelled Irish Springs and smirked. Right on time. It was ten which meant any second now he'd be greeted with a shower fresh Dibiase. He threw his shirt onto the bed and stalked into the bathroom. "Oh Teeeeedy," he purred.

He was more like Ted Sr. than he cared to admit while Ted was like Dusty.

"Dang it, Cody get out of here you pervert! And stop touching me! This is molestation!"

They were just like their fathers. And yea, it was serious.

Got the idea from watching Smackdown Blast from the Past...kinda wierd XD
