Two Months Later: Cody and Randy's
It was a Saturday and the two men were lazing about on the couch when they both heard what sounded like a large truck outside of their house
"What the hell is that?" Randy asked
"I have no idea." Jelly Toast, who was laying on the back of the couch, jumped up and darted from the room when they all heard a heavy knock at the front door
"So much for garlic knot being any kind of back up." Cody only sighed as he walked with his friend to the door. "Yea?"
"Hey, uh, is Randy Orton here? We have this delivery for him." Randy leaned over to look around the burly man and saw a misano red pearl Audi S5 coupe sitting on the back of a flatbed truck
"Yep. I'm Randy Orton."
"I need you to sign here and initial here." Randy did and with a wave of the man's arm his partner began unloading the car
"Did you ask for this?"
"No…I mean I said something about it but joking…but kind of not joking. I don't know. I for sure didn't say John can you buy me this car?"
"Okay. That's all I needed to know…but even if you did."
"You'd condone it?"
"Yes. She's so pretty."
"How do you know it's a girl?"
"Isn't your other car a boy? It looks like a boy." Randy nodded
"Yea, she is pretty."
"Where do you want it?"
"Right on this side of the driveway."
"You got it, chief." The tall man rushed back into the house to grab his phone. He came out and snapped a picture
Randy: what did you do?
Felix: lol. Do you like it?
Randy: I love it. Thank you
Felix: you're welcome. Have you taken it for a drive yet?
Randy: no. that was a current picture
Felix: lol. Oh wow. You're on top of the pictures
Randy: it's only one babe
Felix: oh. Well I hope you like all the features and everything. I picked what I thought would appeal to you
"Hi." John said answering his phone
"I still haven't seen inside but I don't care about features. You could have gotten the most basic model and I would be happy."
"Basic? There's nothing basic about you so you don't get a basic car."
"I'm grinning like such a dork right now." John laughed. "When will I see you next? I have kisses for you." Cody scrunched his nose hearing his friends' end of the conversation
"Oh my God you're so cute. I'll have a few days off next week. There's a pay-per-view this Sunday so we're doing stuff this week for that. Want to come down to Texas?"
"Not really."
"What about my kisses then?"
"You'll have even more by the time I see you." The older man chortled
"Oh, okay. So I'll be off and home by Wednesday,"
"Then I'll be there Tuesday."
"Yes please."
"Alright then. I'll book my flight whenever I make it back in the house."
"Yea try not to stay out there all night."
"Why? The car has lights and we have outdoor security lights that can be left on."
"Oh my goodness. Please don't."
"Fine. I'll go in at a decent time."
"Ran!"
"I think Cody wants to go for a drive."
"I actually have to go so take him. Take Jelly Toast too."
"That fucking cat is not getting in my car."
"Respect his cat, Randy."
"Never. We'll talk later, babe."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too."
"Can we go now?"
"I don't have my wallet or license but let's go."
"We're rebels." Randy and Cody drove around aimlessly in the man's new car until they got hungry but then had to go home because neither had his wallet to pick up anything to eat
….
"I'm going down to Tampa next Tuesday." Randy said as he chewed
"I heard as much. You have a lot of kisses to give him." His face turned red. "I at least hope they're mostly on his dick after he sent you that car."
"Of course."
"Good boy."
"Which pictures should I post of my car?" Cody swiped through
"Well not this one of you humping it."
"I wasn't humping it, I was hugging it."
"Uh-huh." He picked his favorites and gave the phone back. After his shower Randy made the two photos into a collage and posted it to Instagram

RandyOrton agreed!
Felix:the car is on my insurance so you pay nothing
Randy: really?
Felix: yea. It's not a gift if you have to pay anything
Randy: what if we break up again?
Felix: we're not
Randy: *eggplant and tongue emoji*
Felix: jesus. Be naked when I get home
Randy: *thumbs up emoji*
Late Monday Night
"How long will you be gone?"
"Until Sunday night. I have a meeting at work on Monday. We're leaving his house Friday morning because he's got house shows this weekend."
"And you're going with him?"
"Yes."
"Cool. Bring me a t-shirt." Randy laughed
"I'll bring you a John Cena one."
"Never mind."
"You'll be alright here by yourself?"
"I'm not by myself. I got Jelly Toast."
"You're slowly turning into a cat lady."
"I only have one."
"And I better not come back home to another."
"Why? I've always wanted to name something,"
"What? Ketchup Packets?" Cody laughed
"No but that's good so maybe."
"Don't."
Tuesday Night
Randy arrived at John's Tampa home, unpacked his clothes then headed out to the pool. The tall man swam laps until his lungs were sore. He climbed out and stripped naked before drying off and going inside for a warm shower. When he got out he checked his phone and saw a missed text from his boyfriend
Felix: are you there yet?
Randy: oops. Totally forgot to text you. I'm here
Felix: you unpacked and went swimming didn't you?
Randy: yes I did
"Hey babe."
"Hey. What are you doing now?"
"Eating a California burger."
"Where the hell did you get that?"
"I stopped at Shula burger before I left the airport."
"Why? You could have gone out and gotten yourself something to eat."
"I'm not super comfortable driving your cars so I thought this was easier."
"Oh." Randy laughed. "Why?"
"Because they're very expensive and I don't want anything to happen while in my custody."
"Do you become a bad driver in my car?" He laughed again
"No. Shut up. I'm a good driver."
"God, I can't wait to see you."
"I can't wait to see you either. It's been too long."
"It really has. I'm going to go before I start getting sappy."
"Probably a good idea."
"See you tomorrow."
"Bye."
….
Randy had fallen asleep reading his iPad and when it fell from his hands, hitting him in the face, he tossed it aside and buried himself under the blankets of the bed. He'd been sleeping for about an hour when the front door opened and John walked in. He lugged his things upstairs as quietly as he could and smiled when he saw the other man sleeping in bed. John undressed then slipped into bed, smiling even more when he realized the man was naked. He kissed him behind the ear and whispered
"Hey gorgeous."
"You said Wednesday." Randy grunted
"Technically it is Wednesday."
"I want to check the time but I'm too tired."
"You don't trust me?"
"I trust you, Felix." He said rolling over and wrapping his arms around the large framed man
"Oh I'm so happy to have you in my arms right now."
"You wanted to say bed didn't you?" John laughed
"I did but I thought it would sound bad."
"You would be right. I have a surprise for you."
"You do? What is it?"
"Well in two weeks I can take about three to four weeks off and if you want,"
"Yes I want you to come on the road with me for one week, two weeks, three – however many you can."
"Okay. So I'll get my work all squared away and run away with you."
"Yaayy." Randy smiled
Next Morning
"You need food in this house."
"Why? I'm never here. No one's here. I don't want to come home to rotten eggs in the fridge."
"Because I'm hungry and I like to cook. This kitchen is too nice to not use."
"I don't cook so it's neither here nor there for me but I get what you're saying. Let's go to breakfast."
"I could cook but,"
"Let it go and let's go."
Pinky's Diner
"What do you want to do later?" John asked as he looked over the menu
"I didn't have plans to do anything other than lay out naked."
"Oh. I mean, that sounds like a plan and a good one." Randy rolled his eyes playfully
"What are you getting to eat?"
"The, um, breakfast quesadilla."
"That sounds good. I'd like a piece when it comes."
"Sure but it depends on what you get and if I want some of it."
"No it doesn't. I'm having the breakfast sandwich."
"I knew it! I knew you'd find the healthiest looking item on the menu."
"I do it just to irritate you."
"Thanks for thinking of me, babe." He smiled
….
John and Randy were outside on one of John's double loungers by the pool. Since the younger man had fallen asleep he took the opportunity to browse through his social media which he hardly ever did. After Twitter he moseyed over to Instagram where he went through his boyfriends posted pictures, something he'd done more than he cared to admit while they were broken up
"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go." – Richard Bach
Because sometimes I just need to be humbled
To go along with the caption John posted a picture of the hand Randy had resting on his chest. He made sure he cropped it just enough to hide the man's tattoos
"Well hello there." John spoke
"Hi."
"Nice nap?"
"Why'd you let me fall asleep?"
"I didn't let you fall asleep, you just did."
"And you did nothing to stop me. Ugh. Not a nudge, nothing." John chuckled
"You're cute when you're sleeping so there's no chance I'm waking you."
"I'm cute awake."
"There's really nothing for me to say or else I'll be in trouble."
"That's right. I'm going to put some clothes on and make dinner."
"Do you have to put clothes on?"
"Felix please."
….
"Do you have a bread knife?"
"No…at least I don't think I do. I don't even know what a bread knife is."
"Okay. Wow, well, it's a knife that's made for bread cutting."
"Yea I gathered as much by you calling it a bread knife, smartass."
"I didn't want to assume anything. I need a good knife." Randy muttered to himself as he browsed through John's pristine knife collection
"There's not a single knife over there you can use?"
"I'm looking, I'm looking." The older man folded his arms across his chest. "What the hell is this? I've never seen a serrated knife with such a short blade."
"Will it work?"
"It will for this little roll here."
"Are you eating garlic bread as well or is that just for me?"
"I'm eating a piece." Randy spoke then looked sharply at John who laughed
"Make a list if and when you can of things you need around here since you like to cook and we can go and get them."
"Alright. Can you do me a favor and set the table but leave the plates with me?"
"Of course I can." John made himself useful by getting out the silverware and drinking glasses along with a pair of wine glasses. "Chardonnay or pino?"
"Chard." The tall man said while plating that night's dinner. He neatly arranged the salmon then added the farfalle pasta with asparagus and sliced cherry tomatoes which had been lightly coated with a garlic infused extra virgin olive oil and topped with basil. He took their plates over to the dining room table and set them down. John watched as his boyfriend then moved things around on the table before taking a few pictures
"We good?" John asked making the other man chuckle
"Yea, you go ahead. I need to find the right filter."
"This doesn't need a filter."
"It does look good the way it is but I just want to lighten it a teeny tiny bit."
"I'm going to start eating."
"Have at it, babe." Once lightened to his satisfaction, Randy posted the delicious and picture perfect meal on his Instagram
RandyOrton been wanting to make this for a while #Seared Salmon #FarfallePastaSalad
CodyRhodes I've been waiting for you to make this! How could you?
RandyOrton why didn't you say something?
CodyRhodes because you're mean and scare me
RandyOrton lol. I'll make some just for you when I get back home
CodyRhodes I'll be waiting patiently
charmedLife that looks delicious
RandyOrton thank you
Sparkle1212 how did you cook the salmon. It looks so good
RandyOrton just pan seared it. Seasoned with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder
Sparkles1212 ok. Going to try it tomorrow. Thanks!
RandyOrton you're welcome Sparkles1212
"Sorry babe. People started talking to me on the Gram."
"Not bothering you, right?"
"No, not this time. Cody started it saying he's wanted me to make this then I got compliments which was actually nice."
"I bet. Do the comments really bother you that much?"
"Yes and no. Yes because I don't know why people are mean to me but no because in the grand scheme nothing they say even matters. How's the food?" They both eyed John's plate. "Well damn, did you taste it at all?"
"I did that's why it's almost gone."
"We don't have another piece of salmon but there's pasta left."
"After I finish this up I'm sure I'll be full…and whatever space I have left I can fill with wine."
"Spoken like a true heavy drinker." John gasped
"Heavy drinker?!"
"Yes."
"I can drink a lot but I don't need you calling me on my shit."
"Yes you do. I think that's really what I'm here for."
"Part of the reason you're here is for your humbling abilities."
"I can only guess what the other reason is." John only smiled
Later
"During the time we weren't together I may or may not have gone through your Instagram a few times and noticed how many likes you get on your yoga and food posts,"
"So Jules isn't the only person liking my yoga posts?"
"Very funny."
"I've never noticed the likes but go on."
"Have you ever thought about a," John made some vague movement with his hands. "Personal training/yoga/food website?"
"No, I haven't."
"I think it would be great. You can build yourself a brand. You deserve a brand."
"Are you drunk already?"
"No I'm not drunk. You've seen me drink for hours but have never seen me drunk."
"True. Why is that?"
"High tolerance."
"Dangerously so." He laughed
"Stop playing around when I'm being serious."
"All of that you said sounds great but I've never thought about it. I like the job that I have now. Do you know how long it would take for me to get that off the ground? To be profitable?"
"No but I'm willing to help you…whatever it takes to get you there. I haven't seen you at the nursing homes but I have seen you do yoga and cook and you look happy as hell in the moment. It's just an off the wall idea but I think you'd be great at it. I'm just saying."
"You can't end that with I'm just saying."
"That does seem cavalier but," John shrugged. "You know."
"On one hand I think this is great but part of me feels hesitant,"
"Why?"
"This would free up my schedule tremendously and it makes me wonder if your idea is self-serving."
"No. It's not. I just sat there and watched you cook us dinner and throughout you had a smile on your face and I don't know if you know but you don't smile that often," Randy laughed. "You appeared so calm and at peace just like with yoga. What would be better than your recipes and yoga practices?"
"I didn't invent yoga though."
"And you didn't invent that recipe either I'm sure but if you put your own spin and charm on it there would be no stopping you. I just know it."
"Am I charming?"
"Not really but we can work on it. Fake it 'til you make it I always say."
"You're hilarious Felix but I do like your idea. A lot. I can give out free tips but have a premium portion for paying members of the site – oh my God. This is a great idea. I'm glad I thought of it."
"Wait a minute."
"If I have a brand does that mean I need people to sign non-disclosure agreements?"
"Shut up."
….
Randy and John were in bed with the younger of the two men straddling the older as they kissed sensually. Occasionally Randy would grind his lower half just to hear the low rumbling groan from his boyfriend. He kissed John's lips then moved down to his neck where at first he sucked gently but sucked harder the more the old man moaned. John's neck was extremely sensitive but due to how little he wore for work he was never able to have it appreciated the way he wanted. Tonight he didn't care. He knew there would be a bruise by the time Randy finished with him. After leaving a sizeable mark, the younger man flicked his tongue out and dragged it down the man's neck and over one then both nipples, taking a little time to suck and bite each one. He went further down, past John's well defined V-cut and to his already hard and throbbing cock
"Oh my god." John whispered to himself. Randy pulled his mouth away and spat onto his boyfriend's manhood then went back to sucking vigorously. The older man watched the action from the mirror above his bed but could only keep his eyes open for so long before the pleasure became too much and he had to close them and just enjoy. The tall man wrapped his slim fingers around the pulsing cock, making a fist then pumped the hand as he sucked. John grunted as his body bucked off the bed. "Damn, Randy." Even with saliva and cum dripping from the sides of his mouth, Randy didn't stop fellating nor did he stop when the older man climaxed and his semen filled his mouth. He kept going, swallowing along the way. "God," John breathed. "…goddamn." The men lay there for a minute or so before John spoke again. "Why did you do that?" Randy laughed
"I apologize."
"Come here, babe." They kissed and touched each other as John's body reinvigorated itself. Once he was ready he turned his boyfriend over, added lubricant to his fingers and inserted his pointer. Before long he was able to add another and together he pushed them in and out prepping the man. The man added more lube along with a third finger. Randy stiffened but also moaned
"Are you alright? Did that hurt?"
"Yes and no."
"Yes to the,"
"Felix." John chuckled as he pulled his fingers out then pushed his dick slowly inside the other man. He rocked unhurriedly letting the ecstasy build for the both of them. He smirked when Randy threw his head back and moaned loudly. This was the go-ahead John needed to start thrusting faster and harder. "Oh fuck." The younger man whimpered. He took the pounding his boyfriend was giving with much pleasure. John shifted the man's legs from the bed so that his feet were resting on his shoulders. He drove hard into the man lying there while Randy emitted wanton moans, groans and curse words. Not long after Randy climaxed calling out John's man. John wasn't far behind
The men spent the rest of the weekend together just enjoying each-others company. During the house shows Randy would sit up in the sky boxes and watch. Both men decided that it would be the best thing to do. The men had a very low-key Sunday before the younger had to board his flight back home
Sunday Evening: St. Louis, MO
Randy slipped his key into the front door of the house, unlocked it and stepped inside dragging his luggage behind him
"Ran!?" Cody yelled
"Yea?"
"How's it?" He asked looking over the back of the couch where he was seated with his boyfriend Corey. The two names together always made Randy chuckle to himself because it sounded so stupid to him
"Good. Hi Corey." The man never spoke first even when walking into a room which was proper etiquette. It drove Randy mad and had it not been for Cody liking the guy he would have told the man off about being so rude
"When are you leaving again?"
"Why? Planning to throw some kind of wild house party while I'm gone?"
"No but that's not a bad idea. I was only curious."
"Oh. Anyway, in two weeks."
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
"You know I love your relationship and all but I'm tired of feeding myself while you're gone. Just throwing it out there." The tall man laughed a bit
"I'm sorry. I'll meal prep for you before I go."
"Really?"
"Sure. I also want to talk with you about something when you have the time." Cody knew that Randy could talk to him about anything at any time but also knew that he was iffy about Corey so he didn't press the issue
"Okay. We can talk before bed."
"Thank you. I'll be in my room if you need me."
"Alright." In his room, Randy unpacked the clothes from his suitcase tossing them in the appropriate hampers before going inside his bathroom and taking a long shower. When he finished, the man dressed in a pair of pajama bottoms and ventured out to the kitchen. He looked in the fridge for the ingredients to make a shiitake mushroom and spinach quiche
"Have you guys eaten? I'm making a quiche and I'll make enough if you want."
"What kind?" Corey asked
"Mushroom and spinach."
"Yea, I'll pass."
"I won't." Cody spoke
"Okay."
"I'll see you later, Cody. I'm hungry and I don't want to eat that." Randy frowned but said nothing
"You didn't have to say it like that." Cody said feeling slightly offended
"Well."
"See you later." Cody walked Corey to the door and locked it after he left. "Okay…I can see why you don't like him all that much. He's not like that when you're not around."
"Then he doesn't like me either which is odd considering I hardly see the guy and barely get to speak to him."
"It is odd. I like you."
"Well thanks."
"How's John?"
"He's good. We had fun but I always had fun with him unless he was bothering me about work."
"The two of you are a good match for each other. I was legit upset when he dumped you like a bad habit." Randy laughed
"You're such a funny little asshole."
"Thank you, thank you." He rolled his eyes. "What did you want to talk with me about?"
"Oh! Felix mentioned me starting a yoga/food/fitness website,"
"That would be kind of cool especially the food part. I bet people would pay for recipes from you," Cody gasped in the middle of his own statement. "What if you did weekly cooking shows!? Oh my God that would be so great!" The older man stopped beating the eggs and stared at his friend wide-eyed. "Sorry. I got really excited there for a second."
"Yea, you did. Your excitement makes me believe you think it's a good idea."
"I do but I am questioning his motives."
"Mmhm, I asked him about that. He says it isn't self-serving and that I deserve a brand and that I looked happy while I was making our dinner."
"You do look happy when you cook which I don't understand at all but I can't cook worth shit soo there's that fact."
"Yea, you might want to work on that."
"Well with your weekly cooking videos I'll be a pro. I can help you as well with the site."
"You're one of my best friends and are a web designer so I was kind of hoping you would help me."
"Go best friend. That's my best friend." Randy shook his head. "I know what would be perfect for the site as well. Will you delete your tumblr?"
"If the site gets off the ground and becomes successful I will. I'd just be repeating the same information."
