I. Accident at the Awake-a-Thon
The first time had been a complete and total accident. After hours, days, without sleep they couldn't be considered in their right minds. Maybe they shouldn't have slept so close to each other, maybe they should have tried to stay awake longer. There was no changing it now though.
Both had been unpleasantly surprised to wake up with Noah spooning the smaller boy and kissing his ear. They had been even more shocked to find that they were both enjoying it. The shock of this had made both boys scream in sheer terror.
None the less, things were more than awkward between Noah and Cody. And yet, there was a spark – the beginning of a tension between the two.
II. "I dare you…"
The second time had been a dare that took place after they'd been voted off. It had been one of those lazy nights in the dining room of Playa des Losers; a couple of the teenagers had suggested a game of truth or dare and despite his protests, Noah had been dragged into the game.
Of course, Justin of all people had to be a smartass and dare Noah to kiss Cody's ear again. So, once again despite numerous protests, that's what he did. Noah's arms were wrapped around Cody and unlike the first time, they were facing each other. He gave an apologetic sigh before leaning down and bringing his lips to the pale earlobe.
Needless to say, from the blush on Cody's face and Noah's reluctance to look him in the eyes, it was definitely obvious that the spark had once again been ignited. Only this time, it was stronger than ever.
III. I'm right, you're wrong, get over it.
The third time had been to prove a point. Noah and Cody had been growing sick and tired of the gay jokes and people asking if they were a couple. The final straw had been when some people, mostly Izzy, had asked how things were between the sheets.
That finally set Noah over the edge. "Fine…" he had said. "I can prove to you that an ear kiss doesn't mean we like each other that way." And so, once again Noah pulled the pale boy over and kissed his ear. In retrospect this was probably not the best idea to prove a point, but it seemed to work fine for the moment.
By this point though, the spark had started to become brighter than ever, something that happened with seeing each other everyday most likely. Both tech geeks had been reluctant to admit they enjoyed it, but it was becoming increasingly apparent that they did.
IV. It's times like these that make you hate people even more.
The fourth time neither was sure of, it had either been another accident or a prank played by the other campers. Maybe it had been because they had fallen asleep on pool chairs so close to each other. Maybe it had been because some of them found that Noah actually was out of the closet back home. Or maybe it was just because teenagers are jackasses.
No matter how you put it though, both of them had been horribly surprised to find themselves in an awfully similar situation to the one back at Camp Wawanakwa. The only really change to this though, was the chairs replacing the dirt and both of them being in swim trunks.
You know, not that being half naked was awkward at all.
But in that one moment, everything seemed to change.
V. I don't know what we're afraid of…
The fifth time had been an experiment, safely hidden in Noah's room at the Playa. The spark had become a full flame by this point. They had to know what would happen, for the sake of their sanity.
They had both been kneeling on Noah's bed, an awkward silence filling the room. Cody was nervous, having never thought he'd be in this situation with another guy and the fact that Noah was much more experienced than he was. Noah on the other hand had been apprehensive, after a somewhat bad relationship before all of this he wasn't sure if he was ready to leave himself open.
Despite all this, Noah still bought his hand out to hook his fingers under Cody's chin. Blue-green eyes met dark brown searching for any sign. In almost no time though, the tan teen leaned in to kiss the other boy's ear.
VI. The things you do for love are gonna come back to you one by one.
Cody laughed a little as he wrapped his arms around Noah in a sloppy hug. "You can be such an asshole, you know that right?"
Noah smirked before kissing the other boy on the lips. "Maybe so, but at least I'm your asshole."
Cody's hand met the back of Noah's head as he pushed their lips back together. "Wouldn't have it any other way.
8D This has actually been finished for a few days, I was just REALLY lazy to post it XD
Brownie points if anybody can name off the two song lyrics I used!
