*I do not own Suite Life on Deck/of Zack and Cody or any of the characters!

Alex's POV...

I woke up in the morning to Tristan hugging me around my waist. He was completely under the blankets and sound asleep. I smiled to myself and removed him, hopping from our bed. I grabbed a new set of clothes that Cody had put on the floor in the room and dressed myself before trudging down the stairs. I saw Zack sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace while Cody was bouncing around outside, talking to some men.

"Who's here?" I asked.

"Your brother decided to order firewood and have it dropped outback," he stood up and walked to the kitchen, "hungry? There's this place down street that does delivery for breakfast..."

"Mm..kinda..." I walked over and grabbed some french toast from a container, eating it with my hands.

"Sleep good?" he winked at me, causing me to blush.

I knew immediately what he was talking about and I was completely embarrassed, "Yeah.." I nodded and looked away.

"You two were loud," he laughed and handed me the sausage that was near the food he left for Tristan, "eat this before he freaks out."

I smiled and plowed it down before Cody walked inside, "Well that's all taken care of...now we have to figure out about furniture...The insurance company did call me this morning and they said that we can go buy our things, and they're going to reimburse us for it...The woman was very understanding to our situation."

"Awesome," Zack hopped on the counter, "so Alex should go wake Tristan up so we can get things that he approves of...because he's just like you, Cody," he laughed.

Cody pouted, "There's nothing wrong with having good taste!"

"Not at all," I mumbled with a mouthful of food.

"See?" he smiled and flung his arm around me, "Alex agrees."

"That's only cause he's a suck up and wants what Tristan wants," Zack stuck his tongue out, being childish.

I smiled, "I'll go get Tris," I ran up the stairs and shook my brother awake.

"Wakey wakey!" he groaned and turned over, not wanting to move from the heat of his blankets, "Tris...we have french toast..and Zack and Cody are letting you pick things out for the house."

He sat up and looked at me, still trying to blink his eyes open, "Whatever I want...?" he quietly asked.

"Yep," I kissed him and helped him get dressed into his new clothes.

"My bottom hurts..." he whined as we walked downstairs and saw our brothers waiting.

"It will," Cody rubbed his back, "but only for a while...after that it gets so much better.." he smiled, causing us both to blush deeply.

Tristan quickly forgot about his pain and ran to the car, sliding into the backseat with me. We drove to the nearest store and looked at what we could buy. Tristan first ran over to a sectional couch that was gray. Cody approved while Zack and I could care less. We found other things to look at while Tristan made himself comfortable in a matching oversized chair. He looked even smaller in that chair, but it would be nice to sit with him in front of the fire in the chair. He slid down and pranced over to a coffee table that was glass and stone, matching the large fireplace in our living room. He knew what he was doing, and Cody was having a proud moment as Tristan picked out things that matched their home.

The final things we thought about were random things for around the house; lamps, things for the kitchen, televisions, dressers for our clothing, computer desks, computers of course, and other various things.

"I like this TV," Tristan pointed to a 32" television. The picture was clear and the size was just right for our bedroom.

Cody nodded in agreement.

I tugged on Zack's shirt, causing him to look down at me, "Thanksgiving is soon..Are we going to do anything special?"

"Tristan and Cody want to cook.." he walked me away from the two as they kept looking about the large store we were in, "but Christmas is soon to follow..."

"What should I get him this year?"

Zack thought for a second, looking around the store- either for a hint or he was trying to find his thought. He rubbed my back and kept walking with me, "You get him something you think will make him happy...what does he like? He likes stuffed animals... shiny things... you..."

"I feel like after fourteen years of buying him things, I'm out of stuff to get," I looked at some iPod's, wondering if I should get him the new touch...not too much thought behind a gift like that.

"Just dig deep.." Zack walked around some more with me, "he'll love anything you get him, really..."

"What did you get Cody when you were younger..?"

He hesitated on answering, but finally opened his mouth to speak, "I got him a ring..."

"What did he think of it...?" I stopped walking and looked up at him.

"He loved it...still wears it," Zack smiled, "why don't you think about a necklace or a bracelet? I think Tristan would be cute with a bracelet..."

"Bracelet..." I nodded and hugged Zack around his waist, "thanks..."

"You're welcome. Just don't forget a stuffed animal..I think he'd freak if you didn't get him one...he lost a bunch back at the Tipton... Except that damn frog.." I smiled, "he wont let that thing go for anything."

"Nope," I grabbed a box of hot chocolate from a shelf and turned to Zack for his approval.

Zack would normally let us have anything we wanted- we didn't really ask for much, but when we did he would let us have it. We still always found the need to ask for things- even if we knew he would say yes. But when he said no, there wasn't an argument- whether there was a reason behind it or not, we would just nod in agreement.

"We need coffee mugs-"

"Cocoa mugs..." I corrected.

"Right, right," he found some Christmas ones with penguins on them, "how are these?"

"Cute, Tris will freak," I walked back over to the cart and plopped our things in, smiling at Tristan.

"What's that?" he pointed at the mugs.

"Look," I showed him the cartoon penguins. They were standing on a frozen lake with trees and snow all around them and they were dressed in Christmas apparel with cute looks on their faces.

"Penguins!" he giggled.

The store had to deliver most of our things, considering we only had a car that Zack had bought when he was seventeen or eighteen. It had hardly any room in the backseat and the trunk wasn't so big. We drove home and noticed that we had shopped for a very long time.

"My ass is killing me!" Tristan stormed into the house and leaned on the counter, whining.

"Sorry..." I hugged him and nuzzled his neck.

"Language..." Zack warned.

"Sorry!" Tristan exclaimed loudly, "Well, anyway, I think you should rub it cause it's your fault," he wiggled his backside.

I grabbed onto his hips, "You think so?" I ran my hands down his backside and rubbed slowly.

"Mm.." he nodded. I rubbed my hand between his cheeks and caused him to let out a slight moan. He blushed and pushed me away, "That's enough!"

I laughed, "You don't like that?"

He shook his head no and pouted. Zack brought in some of the firewood from outside and stacked it on the rack beside the fireplace. I ran my fingers across Tristan's back as we stood against the counter where the bar chairs went- not having noticed them before when we checked out the house. He smiled and embraced me.

"I love you..."

"I love you too baby..." my lips met his forehead as we kept to ourselves in the small area by the kitchen.

Cody wiggled the keys in the air, "Who wants to go shopping for food?" his gaze immediately set on Tristan, knowing he was interested in cooking and loved picking out food in the store.

"I'll go!" he bounced and smiled, "are you going to stay with Zacky?" he asked me.

"Yeah, I'll see you when you get back.." I kissed him softly.

"Okay! Bye!"

...Tristan's POV...

I went to the store with my second oldest brother, looking for food to stock up the fridge with. We got eggs, milk, bread, orange juice and other things. Then we moved on to the meat department- looking for stuff to put in the freezer.

"So we should buy our turkey now for thanksgiving, they're on sale," Cody pushed the cart over to the large bin with turkeys in it.

"This one..." I tried lifting it, but couldn't.

"That's a pretty good sized one," he lifted it for me and dropped it into the cart, "pick out something for dinner tonight."

I thought for a minute and looked around, "I can make...a meatloaf?"

"Sounds good to me, but you might have to argue with your brothers."

"Oh...stir fry?"

"Sounds more like them," Cody smiled and helped me to pick out what we should put in.

Zack would eat his veggies, but not unless they had butter or some form of sauce on them. So, naturally, we grabbed as many veggies as we could and found a light, low sodium, teriyaki sauce. Cody and I agreed that beef would be the best meat for the dinner and we could have a side of rice.

"I'm really glad you're okay..." Cody said as we stopped the car at a red light.

"I know..."

"I don't know if I could handle it if something happened..."

I nodded slightly and relaxed in my seat as we kept driving, "I was really scared..." I looked at Cody who nodded.

"I'm sure you were..." he pulled into our driveway, parking the car, "Now get some bags and bring them inside...I'll help you start dinner after we put the rest of the food away."

I smiled and ran inside with both hands full of bags, I began putting food away and setting out what we were going to use for dinner. I smiled at the warm arms that wrapped around my waist.

"What's for dinner?" Alex nuzzled into my neck, kissing gently.

"Stir fry..." his hands ran up my shirt, rubbing at my stomach and sides, "Not now..."

"Trissy..." he whined and slid a hand into my pants, working slowly at my cock.

"Lexi not now!" I whimpered and leaned back into him.

"Alexander, get your hand out of there now," Cody frowned and set down more shopping bags.

"But he's so excited," Alex laughed and removed his hand causing me to brace myself on the counter, gasping.

"You're going to have to wait to molest your brother, he needs to help me with dinner," Cody rubbed my back and smiled at me, "want to start the veggies?"

I nodded and turned, grabbing the frying pan Cody had bought. I washed it quickly and dried it before placing it on the stove. I sauteed the veggies in the sauce we'd picked out, waiting for Cody to cut the meat and toss it in. He began cooking some instant rice and plated it while I added the stir fry.

"Dinner's ready!" I called to my brothers who were arguing over what movie we should watch while we ate.

We weren't very traditional sometimes... We would watch television and play video games while we ate, but we always had a good time and talked about our day and what was going on with everyone. Occasionally we would sit at the table as a family and enjoy meals, but tonight wasn't one of those nights.

"Thanks Tris," Alex kissed me gently before taking his plate and thanking Cody.

...Alex's POV...

I sat on the floor, with my younger brother, listening to him comment about how our things had arrived quickly. Zack and I had waited while they left until things were dropped off. We had a large television and some comfy furniture, but Tristan and I still liked to sit on the floor and rest on Zack and Coldy's legs. Tristan sat beside me while Zack sat above me. I smiled at my younger brother and kissed his cheek, thanking him again for the meal he'd cooked. A blush spread across his face and he smiled cutely.

"What are we watching?" Tristan began eating his food, having a smaller serving size than the rest of us.

"Nightmare before Christmas.." Zack said.

"When was this made?" Tristan looked up at Cody who smiled down at him.

"1993."

"Very long time ago..." Tristan put the rest of his food down beside him and sighed.

"Are you full already?" he nodded, "You've gotta be kidding me," I frowned, wishing my brother would eat more than he did.

"Sorry...I just can't eat anymore..." he pulled his knees to his chest and watched the movie that was playing.

"You're too skinny," I reached over and grabbed his plate, eating the rest of his food.

"You're not that much bigger," he got off the floor and into Cody's lap. They covered up in a big blanket and relaxed together.

I shrugged and did the same, crawling into Zack's lap. He held tightly to me and pulled the rest of the blanket that Cody and Tristan were using onto us.

"I'm confused..." Tristan frowned at the movie.

"Me too..." I agreed.

"You'll catch on," Zack yawned and rubbed my stomach.

"Mm..." I relaxed into him and ran my fingers on his hand as it traced the area above where my pants were.

"...Zack..." Cody warned as he began sliding his hand in my pants.

"But he likes it," I could feel Zack's smirk as he placed his hand all the way in my pants.

Tristan whimpered, slightly jealous that I was getting so much attention from Zack and he wasn't. I smiled and turned to Tristan, holding my arms to him.

"Come here," he nodded and fell into my embrace, nuzzling against my neck. I rubbed his back slightly and kissed him gently, "Zack wouldn't do anything without your permission," I turned to our oldest brother, "right, Zack?"

"Right," he removed his hand and smiled at Tristan and Cody.

Cody shook his head and pulled Tristan back into his lap, holding him closely, "Are you tired sweetheart?"

Tristan nodded and nuzzled into him, closing his eyes, "I wanna go to bed..."

"Lex?" Cody looked to me.

I nodded and stood up, lifting Tristan into my arms, "Sleepy?" I carried him up the stairs.

"Yeah.." he toyed with my hair.

"Then I guess it's time for bed," I kissed him and helped him change for bed before laying him in our bed, "I'm going to go take a quick shower..okay? I'll be right in."

He nodded and cuddled into the blankets, hugging onto a pillow. Tristan was my life...I couldn't live without him. As I thought about almost losing him back at the Tipton, tears began to form in my eyes. I left quickly so he wouldn't see or hear me crying. I couldn't let him see me in such a weak state. I walked to the bathroom and turned on the light, looking around. It was still pretty empty, other than the four toothbrushes. Blue, red, green, and pink for Tristan. I smiled and turned on the shower, waiting for it to heat up. Steam began to fill the room as I stepped into the water, sighing at the heat.

"Lexi?" I turned, hearing Cody call my name quietly.

"You can come in," I didn't care.

"You okay?" he smiled and walked over to the glass of the shower.

I wiped away some of the fog on the glass and smiled, "Just dandy."

"I have some money for you... to do Christmas shopping for your brother. I don't really know what he likes anymore," he laughed a bit, "I'm not sure if he's done with toys and grown up, or if he still likes his stuffed animals..."

"He likes blankets...and pillows," I smiled and began washing my hair, "loves stuffed animals, I don't think he'll ever get over that..."

"Video games?" Cody suggested.

"Yeah, we wanted the new Need for Speed game..it's on sale at Kmart..." I tilted my head back and washed the soap away from my hair.

"Zack wants that too...Maybe I'll get it for all four of us? It looks pretty fun..." he closed the toilet seat and sat down, watching me shower, "I thought about getting your brother one of those ebook things?"

He talked like we were his children... calling Tristan, my brother...instead of our brother. I didn't mind. "He'll love that," I washed myself up and rinsed off before turning the shower off.

"What do you want for Christmas? I really need to get you guys something soon... I feel like I'm procrastinating," he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me as I slid from the shower doors.

"What do I want?" I thought about it, mentally looking through the stores in my head, "I... I don't know, really..." I frowned and leaned into Cody as he held the towel around me, "I always think about what Trissy wants..."

"I'll get you more video games.. some movies too. I thought about getting you two a computer, but I don't want you two fighting over it..so I think I'm going to get two of those netbooks... what colors?"

"I like blue.. Tris would want pink or purple," I smiled and hugged Cody closer, feeling his warmth, "I should get to bed...he's probably going out of his mind wondering where I am."

Cody nodded and kissed the top of my head, "Get some sleep...I'll take you out tomorrow for some shopping and you can pick out things that you want to get Tristan. Zack is going to take Tristan shopping to get you something, but he doesn't know what you want...so maybe give him a hint?" Cody smiled and opened the door to my room.

I slid into the bedroom and dropped my towel to the floor after drying off. I crawled into bed beside Tristan after I pulled some boxers on.

"Lexi?" he whispered, turning toward me.

"What's wrong baby?"

"I wanna have sex..." he slid his hand down my chest.

"Aren't you tired?"

"I am..." he nuzzled against me, "but it will help me sleep better..."

I smiled and pulled Tristan's pants down, shoving them off the bed. He kissed me gently as I slid my hand between his legs, fingering him slowly. He moaned quietly and ran his fingers through my hair. I slid another finger into him and felt him tighten up a bit.

"Relax baby..." I rubbed his hips as I fingered him faster, searching for his sweet spot. He gasped, and I knew I found it when he began fucking my fingers.

"I'm ready..." Tristan whimpered and spread his legs wider.

I smirked before crawling between his legs, removing my erection from my boxers. I grabbed a bottle of lube from the bed stand that Zack had bought for me, and coated myself with it before thrusting into him. He moaned and wrapped his legs around my waist, gasping quietly as I thrust myself inside of him. His eyes closed and he relaxed as we slowly made love, touching each other all over. He got oddly quiet after a while and I looked up after kissing his neck.

"Did you fall asleep?" I kept thrusting.

"No.." he said quietly, obviously half asleep.

I smiled and thrust faster, hoping to finish before Tristan fell asleep. He moaned quietly and allowed me to do as I wished, thrusting into him and jerking his cock in my hand. I could feel myself reaching my end as I thrust harder. Tristan blinked his eyes open and reached his arms to me. I held him gently and kept moving, finally ramming into his prostate. He screamed a bit and arched his back.

"Almost there?" I asked, knowing that we were both close.

"More, Lexi...I-" he moaned and moved with me, kissing me softly.

We moaned into each others mouths as we came, my cum spilling into him as his shot between our stomachs. I put myself back into my boxers and laid beside him, holding him close.

"Goodnight," I whispered before planting a kiss on his forehead.

...Zack's POV...

I shook my head as I heard my younger brothers upstairs, going at it in their room. Cody laughed slightly and leaned against me.

"I want you to take Alex shopping for Christmas..." Cody kissed me gently.

"Sounds good to me," I wrapped my arms around him and began kissing him deeply.

"Mm.." Cody moaned, crawling into my lap.

"Should we?" I asked, holding onto his hips.

"Maybe I should ride you..." Cody smiled, rocking against me.

"Well hurry up," I smiled, feeling my cock twitch in my pants.

Cody smirked and stood, taking my hand. He dragged me up to our room and shoved me onto the bed. I watched him strip quickly and then undo my pants. He grabbed a bottle of lube and wet his fingers, slipping them into himself. I smiled, watching him get off. He gasped and moaned as he toyed with himself. I grabbed the lube and rubbed it on myself, getting more comfortable on the bed with some pillows. Cody crawled onto my lap and slowly lowered himself down onto my cock. We moaned together as Cody began bouncing up and down, ramming my cock inside of him. Cody rolled his hips, grinding downward. I relaxed, watching him enjoy himself.

"Zacky.." Cody groaned, grabbing at his erection to jerk off.

"Nice and tight," I smirked, bucking my hips, "harder Cody."

Cody nodded, grinding his hips harder against me. He moaned and rode faster, his legs shaking as he neared his climax. I smiled, loving the way my brother looked when we made love. He tried to control his screaming as he rammed my cock deeper into him. I was so focused on how Cody looked while he was riding me that I didn't notice that I was upon my own orgasm. I groaned and unexpectedly came inside of him. Cody gasped and let out a slight scream, shooting his cum onto my stomach. He hung his head and panted for a while before bending down and licking up his mess.

"How did it feel?" I ran my fingers down his back.

"So good..." he moaned and laid on top of me, kissing my collarbone gently.
