-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- To Cody

.

The alarm next to Cody's bed beeped continuously until Cody's hand snoozed it back to sleep. He got out the bed, walking over to Woody he shook him awake.

"Woody wake up." The taller brunette shook in his bed and sleepily lifted his head to look up at the clock. He grunted slightly and picked himself up from his warm cozy bed. Almost dead-like he walked into the bathroom shutting the door behind him. Cody slightly sighed in relief as he heard the shower start, getting ready for school after Woody did his business was always the worst. Thinking about the feeling he had last night Cody walked out of the cabin and walked over to Zack's door.

"Hey Zack?" He knocked on the door waiting for his older brother to open the door for him with his usual goofy grin. After a bit he almost began to freak until he heard the running water from Zack's bathroom. He calmed down and returned to his cabin to get ready for school. Taking a quick shower after Woody he put on his favorite grey slacks and dark blue sweater. After they were both ready Cody went to Zack's door. Knocking he called out his twin brother's name. "Zack! You still in here?" He looked back at Woody confused, turning the knob he opened the door to find an empty cabin.

"He probably already went to breakfast." Slightly suspicious he nodded and left the cabin with Woody. Walking into the cafeteria Cody was greeted by London's excited squeal.

"What's up London?" She looked around.

"Where's Zack? I wanted to tell you both."

"We thought he'd be here with you." She shook her head saying she hadn't seen him. Cody began to panic, he had a feeling in the pit of his stomach that something was wrong. He began to rush back toward Zack's cabin, London also concerned followed suit. This time the younger blonde didn't bother to knock as he opened the door and again saw the empty cabin. He quickly walked across the cabin to the door that led to the bathroom. Opening the door he gasped at the sight of Zack, his hands tied behind him to the faucet of the bathtub, his naked form submersed in the pink water.

"Oh my god Zack." Cody ran over to him, first taking out the t-shirt that had been tied around his head disallowing him to speak.

"You could've waited till I was descent." He joked, earning him a smack on his head from his boyfriend. He untied him from the faucet, "I'm going to kill that bitch." As Zack sat up Cody again gasped, on his abdomen were cuts that spelled the word from yesterday, 'FAG'

"She cut you!"

"They're just shallow cuts."

"They're cuts none the less." Woody had already left the cabin, London stood at the doorway frozen in her spot. She couldn't believe she had done this to him, they had never been immensely fond of each other, but hadn't she always considered him her friend? Her breath became shallow, how could a person do this to another, friend or not.

"There's a bigger problem here." Zack said ominously.

.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-To Zack

.

Zack had put on some clothes that London had fetched from the littered floor of his cabin. Cody had been frozen in the same spot, kneeling in front of the bathtub with his shocked face, London stood next to the door with a similar expression. Zack knew he had to be strong, even though inside he wanted to just crawl into his bed and just pretend the world around him wasn't crashing down, but he knew he couldn't just lay down as Bailey won. He had to stay strong, not only for himself but for Cody. He kneeled down by Cody, gently placing his hand on his boyfriend's shoulder to comfort him

"It'll be alright Cody. Don't worry." He blankly stared at Zack, he began to shake furiously as water weld up in his eyes.

"What if it isn't? How could it be remotely okay?" Not knowing what else to do he wrapped his arms around him and held Cody as he cried into his chest. London felt helpless in the situation. There wasn't anything she could do to help her long time friends. She never liked Bailey, she knew she wasn't the girl she pretended to be, there was something off about her from the start. It wasn't long until the cabin door opened, Mr. Moseby walked in with Woody trailing behind.

"Zack show me what she did." Zack broke away from his newly calmed brother and let an empty chuckle escape his lips.

"Aw Mr. Moseby are you trying to say that you're actually worried about me?" the older male sighed.

"Look Zack, I know that I haven't always shown it, but I do care very deeply for you and Cody. Please let me help you." Zack looked back at Cody who couldn't pry his eyes away from the small diamond in-between the tiles of the floor. Sighing he stood up and hesitated before he rose the end of his shirt to show Moseby his abdomen. No words could describe how Mr. Moseby was feeling, no words left his lips as he looked at the cuts on Zack, a boy he's know since the day he walked into the Tipton hotel with his only family, his brother and mother. He abruptly turned around and left the cabin without another word, Woody remained where he was looking down at his two dearest friends who he had grown very fond of over their time on the S.S Tipton. Not knowing what had happened during the short period of time that he had been away while fetching Mr. Moseby he only stood there looking down at Cody as he again began to start shaking.

"I think Woody deserves to know the truth about us Zack…" not knowing what exactly they were talking about Woody looked back and forth between the two boys.

"Cody already told me about you Zack. I don't mind really! You guys are my friends and nothing can change that!" before he had even finished his sentence Cody had again weld up in tears, the brunet didn't know what to do. Zack took hold of Cody's hand as he began to hiccup, he gulped and looked back up at Woody with a shaky smile.

"Thanks Woodster… but its more than that.." Woody remained silent motioning the blond to continue. "Me and Cody are together. Like together together…" Zack didn't know what had been running through the taller brunet's head as he looked at them with a blank stare. It seemed like he had been there for hours before Woody finally spoke.

"I guess your mom wont be expecting any grandchildren huh?" a chuckle escaped Cody's lips as he felt a massive weight lift from his shoulders. Soon after they all laughed, a sense of relief filled the air as they continued to laugh, letting almost all the feelings of anxiety fade away. It was only after they had all settled down that Woody spoke again, "I think we should go to school… we wouldn't want to miss a second of the wonderful Miss. Tutweiller." Zack stood up and nodded.

"Woodsters right. We wouldn't want to miss her wonderful class now would we?" Zack grinned letting Cody know that everything would be alright. Looking up at Zack he felt almost completely at ease, he wanted to believe Zack with every fiber inside him, he wanted to believe it so much.

-*-*-*- Next Scene :p-*-*-*

The school day went on as usual, Zack had immediately noticed however that Bailey wasn't there, and if Miss. Tutweiller noticed she hadn't paid any attention to it. Zack had done his best to not mention anything that might remind Cody of the earlier events which might send him back to his previous state. They had all gathered around the smoothie bar like it was any other normal day. Cody was trying to explain to London Einstein's String Theory when Zack had noticed Moseby on the sky deck, not wanting to worry Cody he excused himself saying that he need to pee and walked over to Moseby, leading him away from the group.

"So Mr. Moseby what's happening?"

"Bailey has been expelled from Seven Seas High. We have contacted her parents, but she wont be able to go home until we stop at Australia the day after tomorrow. But don't worry, Kirby is with her to make sure that she doesn't do anything to you or your brother." Zack nodded, he could clearly that there was something bothering Moseby, even though he didn't want to know what the older male knew he asked anyway. His dark features tensed up as he sighed and looked over to Cody before responding to Zack. "Bailey told me everything, but before I believe anything she said I have to know from you Zack." he felt himself tense, he gulped.

"What did she tell you?"

"She told me that she had discovered that you were gay." he nodded, signally that what he said was true. "She also told me that you and Cody have become… intimate. And that while she was in your cabin that she had taken your phone and called your mother, telling her everything." his head already been dropped, his shoulders slumped as he focused all his attention to the glint on Moseby's shoe. "Zack is this true?" the large lump that had formed in his throat made it difficult for Zack to reply.

"Y-yes…" he managed to choke out. Not knowing what he could possibly do he simply placed his hand on the younger blond's shoulder. He felt himself choke up at the simple gesture of the darker male, he held in the water that had formed in his eyes and breathed in before nodding at the man who he had known for so long, the man who he had considered the closest thing to a father figure.

"Your mother called me and informed me that she will be heading here as soon as possible, most likely when we stop in Australia. But don't worry Zack. Everything will turn out for the best." at a loss of words he simply nodded as Moseby patted his shoulder and left down the sky deck. He watched Moseby walk away for a bit before walking back to his friends, he sat down next to Cody and drank his banana-strawberry smoothie. After a bit Cody seemed to have remembered something.

"Oh London, what was it that you wanted to tell Zack and me?" she suddenly beamed but as quickly frowned. She gave a weak smile.

"Maddie has a week off of school and she's coming, she'll get here when we land in Australia."

"London that's great!" Zack replied assuring London that it was fine to feel excited. She smiled and nodded, they spent the next hour talking more about Maddie since Woody didn't completely know her since he hadn't gotten to spend that much time with her last time she came to visit.

-.-.-.-.-.-. To Cody

.

They said good bye and left to their respective cabins to do their homework and sleep the drama filled day away.

"Are you going to be sleeping with Zack tonight?" Woody asked as they neared their cabin. Not being able to shake the guilt Cody felt he nodded, the brunet waved a goodnight and entered his cabin. Knowing how Cody was feeling Zack let him stay with him, as Cody was undressing he sat on the bed and stared at the framed picture that stood on the night stand, it was a picture of them not that long ago, their first day going to High School, Cody had his large backpack smiling sheepishly at the camera with Zack's arm wrapped around his shoulder giving a thumbs up.

"You cant blame yourself for everything Cody…" pulling the shirt over his torso he silently looked over to Zack, only slightly surprised that he knew how he felt.

"But if I-"

"Don't start okay? There's nothing you could have done and there's nothing you have to feel bad about." Cody looked down at his feet as Zack stood from the bed and stood in front of him. He closed his eyes and let his senses take control. He let Zack's scent fill his nose, the feel of the heat that radiated from his body, the feeling of protection he felt with Zack around. He listened closely to the sound of his breathing, it reminded him that he was still here with him, that he was alive. He let himself submit to him as he felt Zack's hand caress his cheek lifting his face to look into his eyes. Cody saw everything in his eyes, the love that welded inside, the protective look that he gave him, the reassurance he was trying to give him, but even the fear that he felt, even if he wouldn't admit it. "Its going to be okay Cody." he wanted to believe in what Zack was telling him, but he knew that Zack was just as scared as he was.

"How could it be though? Isn't this too much for mom to handle?" Zack took hold of his boyfriend's face and leaned in so their forehead touched.

"But she'll always be our mom, and we'll always be her children." he closed his eyes again, feeling the warmth of his breath hit him as he talked. soothing him, but no matter what he said the same thought kept hitting the inside of his skull.

"That's exactly it Zack. We're her children." Zack let go of him, he looked at Cody with furrowed brows.

"Are you having second thoughts?" the second he said it Cody regretted saying anything, the hurt in his eyes and his voice was enough to make Cody cry. Sternly he looked up at Zack and shook his head. Taking hold of his hand he brought up and kissed it gently, the gesture made Zack sigh and embrace Cody in a tight hold, as if letting go would mean losing him. "I love you Cody. We'll get through this I promise." Cody's grip tightened as he grasped on to his shirt and buried his face into Zack's chest.

"Okay.."

Wowy, there is just so much drama going on isnt there? It might seem really odd that everyone is like "ah we love you guys anyway" but I honestly think that they've been together long enough to accept them.

Also I love Mr. Moseby and could honestly not imagine him hating them, thus he's on their side for the most part ^_^

I love that I get lots of treats for updating *o* (nom nom nom)

Thanks for reading everyone and I hope that you deem the story worthy to review and continue reading :3
