Cody spent the next week in the hospital. He ignored most questions asked and usually responded with a blank stare or a whisper to his brother. Zack didn't mind though, it gave him the feeling that he could truly connect with his brother better than anyone else could. I suppose that's the way it should be, especially between twins. Everyone had always said that twins had a special ESP power between each other, but neither Zack nor Cody believed the theory until they personally experienced the power themselves.
When the boys were around eight years old, they discovered that they could communicate without speaking directly at each other. At first, Cody found it intrusive when Zack would interrupt his thoughts and disturb his personal and private moments. After a while though, Cody found it useful that he could speak to his brother privately when people were around. It took sometime, but after nine years they figured they had it down and could control it; for the most part.
The thing that made Zack wonder though, is if Cody could hear his stubborn thoughts that insisted on tempting him with perverted images about his brother. Normally, Zack shook his head and removed the thought's that he was so afraid to let Cody hear; but recently, the thoughts had started to get out of control. Zack found himself rushing more and more to "use" the bathroom. This worried him.
Cody's soft eyes stared at Zack.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry..." Cody crawled over to his brother who was placed at the foot of the bed.
"I'll get the nurse to get you something." Zack went to reach for the buzzer to call the nurse in, but his hand was pushed away.
"No, she bugs me. Take me to the cafeteria. Besides, Zack, I'm okay now...I've been stuck in this damn bed for a week now and I don't think I need to be here..." Cody stood up and smiled.
"Okay, I'll take you. Put your pants on." Cody nodded and pulled on pants over his boxers. "Are you cold? It's around 40 degrees outside..."
Cody nodded as he dug through the little amount of clothing he had, hoping that there would be a sweatshirt. Zack unzipped the sweatshirt he was wearing and placed it on his brother. Cody smiled and walked close by Zack.
"New England weather is stupid, one minute it's 80 out, next it's like 30 or something." Zack laughed and placed his arm around Cody's waist, leading him down the halls.
"Yeah, when I go to college I'm so getting out of here."
"Yep, at least go to some placed where the weather's slightly normal...Alaska or something, it's just always cold...not like hot then cold then hot then cold."
Cody laughed. Zack was glad to see his brother laughing.
"But with Alaska you have to deal with it always being dark or something, it's always cloudy...and in the summer it's daylight 24 hours a day, and in the winter it's just...always dark...so there, it's not so much the weather but it is the weirdness of the sky."
"Dude, don't be so technical about it." Zack smiled and pulled his brother closer when they reached the cafeteria.
"Sorry, it's just the way I think." Cody looked at the choice of food. "Well, this seems appetizing...Soup, or some nasty looking stuffed chicken..."
"Personally I'll eat anything."
"And that's where we differ!" Cody pouted.
Zack frowned and pulled Cody outside, "Okay, I'll take you somewhere."
"Zack, I can't leave the hospital."
"So? Tell them I forced you."
"Well, basically...that's not so much of a lie." Cody watched as Zack flagged down a cab. "You have money?"
"Yep." Zack helped his brother in, keeping his arm gently around his waist, "Angora Cafe ten-twenty-four Commonwealth Av." Zack spoke to the cabbie and opened his cellphone to check the time. "Well, I'd say we've got about an hour."
Cody nodded and watched the buildings pass on the streets as they approached the cafe.
"You're quiet...You're never quiet, did I do something wrong?"
"No, I'm just thinking." Zack held Cody's hand and pulled him from the cab after he paid the driver.
"Oh." Cody hesitated on asking what he was thinking, not really sure if he wanted to know what was on his mind.
The cafe wasn't too much like cafe's that Cody had been to before. It had a long blue continuous bench on the wall with several matching tables placed in front of it and chairs on the other side. The back of the room held coolers that displayed food, conjoining with a counter that had a handsome looking young man behind it. On the right side of the room, there was a counter with utensils, straws and things for drinks. To the right of the door there was a couch that could fit about three people and an oversized chair that could probably hold both Zack and Cody in it.
Zack walked with Cody up to the counter and looked at the menu with him.
"Uh, I guess I'll just have a salad..." Cody said under his breath.
"Cody, seriously. Get a little more than just a salad." Zack smirked.
Cody whispered, "Okay, I'll have...a grilled Paris panini and a...peanut cracker smoothie." he smiled at Zack while he repeated everything to the man behind the counter.

Cody sat with Zack on the couch and picked up a people's magazine. He sighed seeing all of the unwanted news on the front of the cover, "I don't see why people can't just mind their own business."
"I dunno; here." Zack handed Cody a piece of the panini.
Cody peeked inside of the panini to see what exactly was in it. Brie cheese, guacamole, sun dried and regular tomatoes were melted inside of the sandwich. Cody smiled and happily ate the panini while his brother sipped the smoothie.
"Want some?"
"Well, I've never had that and it kinda sounds gross... I only picked it because it was the first thing that I saw."
"It taste's fine, there's nothing wrong with blending bananas, peanut butter, honey, yogurt and milk into a cup!" Zack laughed.
"Oh, I thought it was something like...they took peanut butter crackers and mushed them in with ice cream and milk..." Cody took the drink and sipped it then handed it back to his brother, "good, but not my favorite..."
"Ha, thought so..." Zack wrapped his arm around his brothers shoulders and crossed his legs.
Zack began thinking about school for the millionth time that week. He'd already decided on his own that Cody wouldn't be allowed back into the biology room, nor would he be allowed to go anywhere without Zack. The thought of anything happening to his brother again about made Zack punch a hole through the wall.
"-rooms? Zack? Are you listening to me?" Cody pouted.
"Huh? Sorry, I was thinking..."
"Stop thinking, you're going to hurt what's left of your brain." Cody smiled. "Now, I said...Why did you want to have me switch rooms?"
"It doesn't hurt my brain when I think!" 'well, when I'm thinking about you it's not my brain that hurts..' "I wanted you to be in the same room with me...I kinda sorta maybe miss sharing a room with my little brother." Zack smirked and stood Cody up as they walked outside to get a cab back to the hospital.
"Well, okay...but it needs to stay clean, please."
"Okay." Zack would do anything for his brother right now, anything he wanted...Zack would make possible, "Hey, Cody?"
"Yeah...?"
Zack pressed his forehead against Cody's and smiled, "I love you."
"I love you too, Zack." Cody smiled but then stared in shock when their lips pressed together.
Zack smirked and leaned back in the cab, his arm firmly around his brother's waist. The blush on Cody's face was scarlet red and took a long time for it to fade to a light pink.
