A/N: I mention Cody's facial hair in this chapter; I just want to make it clear that I mean the faint little mustache he had when he was first injured. Not that God awful smarmy, greasy used car salesman one he insists on wearing now. Thank you, carry on : )
Next Afternoon
John: can you come up to the office?
Randy: do you need me to bring anything?
John: no
John had been in the office for a while with some official looking men. Randy jogged up the stairs and walked in
"What's up?"
"Have a seat Mr. Orton." Randy looked at John
"John."
"Sit down Randy." Randy took a seat in the chair offered to him
"What's going on?"
"Randy, this is Ralph Thomas, my estate and probate lawyer,"
"John,"
"Just hear me out. That's Ralph and this here is Anthony Brennan, my attorney. As you know, I've been thinking and no matter what you say after I finish I know that what I'm doing is for the best. I have parents but you and Cody are my family and in the event something should happen to me I want to know that the two of you will be taken care of…the way I would take care of you if I were still living. I want you to look over these papers and then sign them." Mr. Thomas handed Randy a small stack of papers. He read over them and when he finished Randy looked up at John
"You're making me beneficiary of your estate?"
"I have to. Between you and Cody you're the most responsible."
"I get that but,"
"No buts…Cody will be taken care of."
"I read that part."
"So what's the problem?"
"There's no problem. I guess…I don't know…I guess reading this here in black and white makes it real and official."
"Well you'd have to sign it for it to be real and official."
"Are you sure this is what you want John?"
"Yes. I am of sound mind."
"Okay." Mr. Thomas leaned over and flipped some pages
"I need you to initial here, here, here and then sign here." Randy initialed three times then signed the document
"Is that all?"
"Yes sir." Randy exhaled
"Now don't go trying to kill me for my stuff." Randy laughed
"I would never because I'd rather have you…besides, then I'd be forced to live with Cody by myself way sooner than I need to."
….
"Hey Cody." Phil said walking up behind him
"Ouch!" Cody cried as he hit his head on the roof of his car. Phil laughed and rubbed his head when he stepped out
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you."
"It's okay. How was your break?"
"Great. It was nice being back in The Windy City. How was yours?"
"Awesome. We had to come back a day early due to an unforeseen accident but honestly that didn't put a damper on the trip itself."
"Cool. Where did you end up going?"
"Oh, um, the Bahamas…Pink Sands resort." Cody bent down to pick up a tote on the ground when Phil stopped him
"Lift with your legs, not your back. Let me get that for you." Cody smiled and stepped back allowing Phil to lift the boxes
"Can you put them back here?" He asked popping the trunk on his car. Phil deposited the boxes and rearranged them
"What's this stuff for?"
"End of the year project. I have to put a bunch of packets together."
"Looks like you have your work cut out for you because those were pretty heavy." Cody laughed
"I know." Phil just stood there staring at him. "Is there something on my face?"
"Yea," Phil stepped closer. "Right here." He leaned in and kissed Cody softly. Cody backed away
"Phil, I," Phil kissed him again only this time Cody kissed back. He allowed Phil to slip his tongue inside his mouth. Cody had never kissed anyone besides John and Randy. John and Randy! "I can't do this!" Cody said harshly
"Why?" Phil asked leaning in again
"I can't. I live with someone…people. I'm sorry." Cody slammed the trunk shut, hopped in his car and locked himself inside. Phil calmly walked over and tapped on the glass. Cody started his car and put the window down
"I'm sorry. I didn't know." Cody shook his head
"I know." Phil laughed
"Can you blame me though? You're gorgeous." Cody frowned
"That gets me in trouble."
"No worries okay? I don't know who you live with so I'm not telling."
"Okay."
"See you tomorrow."
"Bye." Cody put his window back up and pulled his phone out
Cody: : (
Evy: what's the matter?
Cody: can you meet me at the park?
Evy: what's wrong Cody?
Cody: just meet me okay?
Evy: I'll be there in 10
It took Cody a little longer to get to the park but when he did he spotted Evan sitting on one of the benches facing the swing sets
"Cody?" He said looking up. "Why are you crying? What's wrong?"
"I kissed someone else!" Cody blurted out
"You what?! When? Where?!"
"At school. Phil helped me put some stuff in my car then he kissed me."
"But you pulled away right? That's not so bad."
"I did but he leaned in and kissed me again and I kissed back. I felt his tongue…his tongue was in my mouth!"
"Oh my god. Cody." Evan wrapped his arms around Cody and just let him sob all over his shirt
"What am I going to do? John's going to be so mad and Randy will kill me."
"Why do you have to tell them?"
"Because I feel like absolute shit and you know I can't lie. Randy notices everything and if they ask me I'll have to tell. Oh my god…how could I be so stupid?"
"Can I ask why you did it?"
"I don't know. I'd never kissed anyone other than John until Randy came…I think maybe I've wanted to kiss someone other than them. I don't know Ev."
"Do you want to tell them because you want to or are you going to tell them because you feel like you won't be able to keep it to yourself?"
"I'm telling because I owe it to them to tell. They've both been good to me. It wasn't right." Evan nodded
"Do you want me to be there when you tell or would you prefer to do it alone?"
"Can you be there?"
"Sure. You going home now?"
"No. I'm going to stay out here for a while."
"Do you want me to stay?" Cody shook his head
"I want to be alone right now." Evan hugged Cody again before leaving the park
Hours Later
Evan jumped when he heard the garage door open and close. He'd barely been able to act normal around John and Randy
"Hey baby. You're home late." John said as Cody walked into the kitchen
"Yea."
"What's the matter Codes? Did Steph do something?" Cody shook his head
"No. I, um, I have to tell you guys something." He wiped his eyes
"Codes?" Randy wiped his hands on a dish towel and wrapped an arm around the smaller man
"I kissed someone else." Randy dropped his arm and his jaw
"What?!" John yelled. Evan stood and walked over to Cody, gently rubbing his back. "When?!"
"Today after school. One of the other teachers kissed me and I pulled away but he leaned in and kissed me again and I kissed him back."
"With your tongue?" Randy asked
"The second time yea."
"Get out!" John jumped out of his seat. "Ah fuck! My foot!"
"Sit down John." Randy said walking over to him. John leaned against the table
"Out Cody! Get the fuck out!"
"What about Max?"
"No, the dog stays. You out!"
"But where,"
"Are you deaf? Is there something about get out that you don't understand?"
"John,"
"Come on Cody." Randy said turning him around. The two men walked upstairs to the bedroom. Cody slumped on the bed while Randy went to the closet and started packing for him. After he'd packed a bag for his work clothes and a bag full of regular clothes he brought them out into the bedroom. "Where am I supposed to go?"
"Here." Randy said handing Cody a key. "Do you know where the Bristol Place at Tampa Palms apartments is?"
"Yea."
"Apartment B22. It's mine."
"Why do you still have your apartment?"
"I can be flighty." Randy said tossing Cody's toiletries in a bag
"I'm sorry Ran." Randy zipped the bag then sat down
"Why did you do it?"
"I don't know. I'd never kissed anyone other than you and John. I think subconsciously I wanted to but I wish I didn't."
"I know. Just stay over there…everything is still on and working but there's no food or anything like that. Get yourself something to eat on the way over."
"I'm not hungry."
"Get something anyway. You might want to pity eat. I'll do some grocery shopping tomorrow and stock everything for you." Cody nodded. "Do you have money?"
"I have a little."
"A little? Where's all the money John's been giving you?"
"I spent it." Randy sighed
"Text me your account number when you get a chance and I'll put money in there. Try to budget it." Cody started to cry again. "What?"
"Why are you being so nice?"
"Because I love you and I know in my heart you weren't trying to hurt either of us. I know that things happen and so does John but he's hurting pretty badly right now. Are you going to be okay?"
"I don't have a choice." Cody hiccupped. "I haven't been away from John for years Randy." Randy wrapped his arms around Cody and he snuggled closer
"I'll do everything I can to get you back here as quickly as possible."
"Okay."
"Don't text him all day either…it'll only hurt worse when he doesn't respond. I'll come over and keep the place clean but that doesn't in anyway mean that you can leave the place a mess."
"Okay." Evan walked into the room
"I hate to do this but John just yelled at me…he wants you to go now Cody." Cody nodded. "Is this your stuff?"
"Yea." Evan picked up the bags while Randy and Cody stood
"I'm just going to take it outside."
"We'll be down a minute Ev."
"Okay."
"I love you Ran."
"I love you too. I'm not leaving you alone during this."
"Thank you."
"Don't use the stove." Cody laughed. "Just let me handle everything. I'll cook for you." Cody nodded and hugged Randy tighter
"What if he takes my car or closes my account?"
"He won't. Come on." Randy walked Cody out of the house and to his car where Evan was standing. "He still loves you Codes. We all do." Cody nodded, got into his car and drove off
"He told me earlier." Randy looked down at Evan
"What?"
"He sent me a text and told me to meet him at the park. He told me about kissing that guy."
"Oh. Did you tell him to tell John?"
"No. I asked him what he was going to do and he said that he had to tell."
"He has no poker face."
"Exactly…but he also loves you guys so much and he said that it just wasn't right." Randy scrubbed his face with his hands
"Cody…of all people."
"What are you going to do?"
"Try my best to convince John to not be mad and let Cody come back. He still loves him he's just handling it how John does."
"Well if you need me to help in any way I'm here. I can't live here and have Cody live somewhere else."
"Thanks…I'll get John to apologize for yelling at you too."
"It's no big deal. Where is he going?"
"To my apartment."
"You still have it?"
"Yes. I always have an out."
"That's not surprising."
"It's smart. You should probably go up to your room or somewhere, just not the kitchen."
"Don't worry, I have no desire to be anywhere near John right now." The men walked back into the house but went their separate ways
"Is he gone?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"You don't think you overreacted?"
"No. I've done everything for him and all I wanted in return was faithfulness."
"He kissed one guy, one time and he instantly regretted it." John eyed Randy
"I don't want to hear your defense right now counsel."
"I'm just saying John. You didn't hear him out then you just made him leave. Where did you expect him to go?"
"I don't care."
"Yes you do."
"Randy, I'm going to give you some options right now and they are as follows: shut the hell up and get me a shot of something, get the hell away from me or shut the hell up, get me a shot and get the hell away from me."
"Don't be rude because I'll step right on that fucking foot of yours. I'll step on both of them…and I'm only getting you one shot because I don't want you drinking and taking that Vicodin."
"Whatever."
"Did you hear me when I said don't be rude?
"I'm sorry." Randy handed John a glass
"That's a little more than a shot so sip it because that's all you're getting." John sat there nursing his drink as Randy continued to prepare dinner. Randy was cleaning tomatoes in the prep sink when John spoke up
"Don't you love Cody?"
"What?"
"Don't you love Cody?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you hurt? You're just going on as usual like nothing's happened."
"I'm hurt in a way…just because he kissed someone else but I'm not that hurt. He didn't go out looking to kiss another person. As for me going on as normal, what do you want me to do? You kicked him out so you solved the problem right?" John sighed
"Are you going to give me shit now?"
"If you recall, I wasn't saying anything. You asked me a question and I just answered you. I'm sorry you don't like my answer."
"So I guess the answer is yes, you're going to give me shit." Randy rolled his eyes
"If you did in fact yell at Evan like he said then you owe him and apology."
"I'll do it later." After it was finished Randy made a plate for Evan and took it upstairs while he and John ate quietly in the kitchen
Next Day
"Ran?"
"Yea?"
"Antonio is on his way to pick me up and I'm going over to the office for a few hours."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? Will you be alright?"
"I should be fine. I've gotten the hang of these crutches and the building has an elevator." Randy nodded
"There's a bottle of acetaminophen in the medicine cabinet take it with you in case your foot starts to bother you."
"Okay."
"I'll run up and grab it."
"Thanks." Randy retrieved the bottle and brought it back down to John
"How long will you be there?"
"A few hours like I said." Randy nodded
"Okay."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Alright." John's assistant picked him up and after he was gone Randy quickly folded the rest of the laundry then left the house for the grocery store. He bought enough to stock the refrigerator and cabinets. He drove over to his old apartment; let himself in then after unpacking the groceries and throwing a roast and vegetables into a slow cooker he set about cleaning the place from top to bottom. Randy stripped the bed and washed the sheets and while they were in the machine he unpacked Cody's bags and hung the clothes in the closet then put the suitcases underneath the bed. He checked the roast and left Cody instructions on what do to when he got home. He also said a little prayer. It seemed simple but he thought cooking bacon and eggs was simple too and Cody proved he couldn't handle that. Before leaving he left an envelope of cash for Cody under his pillow with strict instructions telling him to deposit and use the money wisely. He beat John home and started on dinner
"Hey Randy."
"Oh, hi Ev. How was work?" Evan shrugged
"I felt a little out of it. I tried my best to make things seem normal but it's weird with Cody not being here."
"I know."
"Have you talked to him?"
"No. I went over there today cleaned, started dinner for him and left some money."
"Money? I thought John was giving him money. Where's that?" Randy shook his head
"He said that he had a little because he spent the rest."
"He spent it? On what?"
"I didn't ask."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"How come it was okay for us to do what we did but not for Cody to kiss someone? I mean John went ape shit." Randy laughed
"Because I had John's permission. It works like this Evan, we play by his rules. John's incredible…he's nice, very polite, giving, nurturing…all of the things you want in a partner but he's very dominant and wants things his way. Cody kissing someone else was not his plan and he didn't make it so. That doesn't work for him."
"Why was it okay for us?"
"He knew it would make me happy. Aside from his Alpha male personality he really just wants the two of us to be happy."
"But kissing that guy didn't make Cody happy."
"…so what was the point?"
"Ooh…I see. Are you sure you're okay with that?"
"I wouldn't have been here for all this time if I wasn't. I knew who John was before I moved in. Hell, I knew who John was before I knew about Cody…finding out that I wasn't the only one wasn't a surprise actually."
"So all John was guilty of was wanting to spread joy to the world?" Randy laughed
"No, he was guilty of being a cheating asshole…but I wasn't surprised."
"What made you stay?"
"Love is a many splendored thing Evan and it makes you stupid but I can honestly say that I haven't regretted a moment. Not even when I thought I'd be sent to prison for second degree murder."
"This is essentially an ego thing with John."
"Essentially. Don't you remember when Cody gave that sloppy lap dance?" Evan laughed
"You didn't even see it. There was nothing sloppy about it."
"I was joking. Cody's been in my lap enough times working his hips for me to know that there's nothing sloppy about him."
"Are you allowed to go see him?"
"I don't know that's why I snuck over there today. I'm going to tread lightly for a while. I hope John doesn't except me to cut ties with him because I can't just do that." Evan smiled. "What?"
"You're so cute when you're all in love."
"Easy Doorbell."
"Well you are,"
"He is what?" John asked making his way into the kitchen
"A jackass."
"Randy denied being a jackass?"
"It was a lame attempt but yea." Randy smirked at Evan's ability to lie so well. He'd never understand how he and Cody were friends. He laughed to himself as his phone vibrated
Cody: thanks for cleaning and making me dinner
Randy: you have lunch for the next two days in the fridge. I'll try to come over again Thursday and make your lunch for Friday
Cody: that's okay. I'm not eating anyway
Randy: Codes – you have to eat
Cody: I don't have an appetite. Also we're having pizza on Friday so I'd eat that anyhow
Randy: okay. How are you?
Cody: gutted. I miss you guys and Maxi
Randy: John's friends are coming over on Saturday since they heard about his foot. They plan on grilling and whatnot…I'll come over and bring Max. I might put a leash on Ev and bring him too
Cody: lol. I'm sure you want to put a leash on him anyway
Randy: now that you mention it
Cody: he's got Nick. Hands off
Randy: fine
Cody: you pack a mean bag but could you bring me more clothes? I don't have any sweatpants or t-shirts
Randy: shit. Sorry. I can bring you some
Cody: don't apologize. You packed in about three minutes and I have 25 complete outfits. Don't even think about going back to girls – you're definitely gay
Randy: aha! John's sitting here watching me. I have you go. Check under your pillow
Cody: : ( okay. Love you
Randy: love you too
Randy slipped the phone back in his pocket and was met with John's angry eyes when he looked up. He ignored it
"Do I need to do anything for your party on Saturday?"
"It's not a party. My friends are just coming over."
"Shall I call it a gathering then?"
"That's more accurate."
"Whatever. Do I have to do anything?"
"Won't you be here?"
"No. I can prep the food for you and then carry on with the rest of my day."
"Where are you going?"
"Does it matter? Your friends are coming over so I don't need to be here. Just tell me what it is I need to do so I can do it."
"You don't want to be around my friends?"
"Not really, no."
"Why?"
"I don't like some of them that's why…and even if I did it's my prerogative on whether or not I want to be here. I'm already shopping and prepping the food, do you need me here to act as a waitress too?"
"Which friends don't you like and why?" Randy sighed. Evan felt uncomfortable but couldn't turn away
"Since you want to go there – I don't like Adam because his face scares me and he's slapped my ass on more than one occasion and I don't like Sheamus because out of all your friends he hugs me…twenty minutes at a time and calls me sweetheart." Evan's jaw dropped
"Why haven't you said anything?"
"Because they're your stupid friends and I know that you like them. I don't have to because they are not my friends. I can make myself scarce."
"But you know I don't like people touching you guys," John thought for a moment. "You." You still don't want anyone touching Cody either Evan thought
"This is why I didn't tell you. You guys have been friends for years and I don't want to ruin that. I will not be here for your gathering. Do you understand that?" John looked around. Evan looked too
"Are you talking to me?"
"Yes."
"No you're not." Randy rolled his eyes. John without Cody was a bitch to deal with and it's only been 24 hours
"Whatever John. I won't be here and that's the bottom line because I've said so." Evan was exhausted after that exchange
Later
"Ran!" Randy stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel
"Why are you yelling for me when I'm right here?"
"I just wanted to make sure you heard me."
"I heard you. What do you want?"
"I need another favor from you."
"Okay."
"Come here," Randy started toward the bed. "Leave the towel."
"What about your foot John?"
"I don't care about my foot right now. I haven't gotten laid in days and that's just unheard of. You can undress me then ride me…it'll be sexy." Randy laughed
"Is that how you envisioned it in your head?"
"Yep." John patted his lap. "Come on." Randy walked over to the bed, ripped the sheets back then pulled John's underwear off. He was careful near John's foot. "Are you going to take the towel off?"
"No. You know what's under it." He smirked before he dipped his head down and took John into his mouth. John was happy the headboard was padded leather as his head fell back hitting it. He let his hand roam all over the back of Randy's head as he feasted on his cock. Randy sucked to the tip then down to the base and all the way to John's balls and alternated between sucking and licking them, growing harder under the towel as he listened to John's moans. "Baby." He looked up
"Yes?"
"I want to be inside you already." Randy straddled John's lap. "Are you going to take the towel off now?"
"Nope…the same stuff's under it." John laughed as he guided his dick toward Randy's opening
"Do you need lube?"
"I don't think so." John was careful not to push quickly since it had been a few days. Randy hissed as John entered him slowly. "Oh my god."
"Do I need to stop?"
"Nope." Randy started to move his hips slowly, stretching himself as he did so. "You're so big John." John smirked as he met Randy's hips with his thrusts. "I saw that. You and your ego John."
"It's huge, I know. I can't help it." He said thrusting harder. He moved his hands around to Randy's ass so he could spread his cheeks in an effort to get deeper
"Oh fuck! Right there John." Randy started to bounce up and down as John kept moving his hips
"Do you like that Randy?"
"Yes."
"Do you like riding me like this?"
"Yes John!"
"Do you want to cum?" Randy nodded his head
"Mmhm." John's hand disappeared underneath the towel, wrapped around Randy's cock and began jerking it quickly. "Shit…faster John please." John's hand slowed and Randy's eyes flew open. "Lo necesito tan malo John, por favor!"
"Fuck." John exclaimed. His hand moved faster until Randy's body stiffened and he felt his stomach covered in what the towel didn't catch. He kissed whatever parts of Randy he could reach when he slumped forward
"Yea, days is definitely too long." John laughed
Saturday
Randy got up that morning and went shopping for the things that John and his friends would need later. He came home and prepped the food then put it away in the refrigerator
"Did you get the steak?"
"Yes. I even got an impromptu lesson on marbling and cuts of meat from the butcher. If it's not good then blame him."
"Noted. I'm jumping in the shower now; the guys should be over soon."
"Okay." John went to the bathroom and when Randy heard the shower start he hastily packed a bag of t-shirts and sweatpants for Cody. He went down to his car and threw the clothes along with toys and food for Max in the trunk and made it back upstairs in time to throw some clothes on the bed for John to wear and catch his breath
"You look flushed." John said emerging from the bathroom
"Do I?"
"Yes, that's why I said you look flushed." Randy shrugged
"I'm not sure why that is."
"Huh. Can you rewrap my foot?"
"Yea." Randy sat on the floor near John's feet and ignored the laugh he heard escape John's mouth. "You're enjoying me being down here way too much."
"That's not even possible." Randy wrapped the foot and took John's hand as he extended it to help him up. Before he knew it John pulled at his arm which sent him toppling onto the man
"Why John,"
"Shut up and kiss me." He leaned down and let his lips lightly brush against John's
"Cena!"
"If we ignore them they'll leave." Randy rolled off John and sat up
"That's rude. Get up…and pull your shirt down to cover that." John looked down
"No, I'm wearing it proudly."
"Well make sure you distribute your weight evenly. I wouldn't want that to weigh you down in front and make you fall over on your crutches." John laughed
"You are so funny." John made his way downstairs while Randy stayed and changed his clothes. He stopped at Evan's door on his way downstairs
"Come in!"
"Hey." Randy said opening the door
"Hey. Are you going to see Cody now?"
"Yea. You coming over today?"
"Uh-uh. I was over there for the last two days after work. I'll let the two of you have some time together." Randy nodded
"I guess I'll see you later then."
"Later." Randy groaned when he got to the kitchen and saw John's friends. Adam winked. Randy swallowed the vomit that rushed back into his mouth
"Hey guys. I'm leaving John."
"Already?" Randy eyed him
"Yes. You're fully stocked on beer and all the food is in the fridge. Call me if you need or can't find anything."
"Okay." The two men kissed each other. "Where are you going again?"
"Out." Randy said leaving the kitchen
"Did he cut his hair lower?" Adam asked. John looked at him
"He did…surprised you noticed."
"Um," Adam laughed. "Yea, I'm observant I guess." Randy went to his car and drove over to his old apartment. Once there he let himself inside. He let Max out of his carrier while he surveyed the damage Cody had done in the kitchen. Sighing, he opened the dishwasher and loaded it with the dirty dishes Cody had piled in the sink. After the kitchen was clean Randy went down the hall to the bedroom
"What are you still doing in bed? It's almost 2."
"This is where I've been spending my time lately."
"Why not go out with your friends or something? You don't have to be home with John now." Randy lay on the bed
"I wanted to be at home with you and John."
"Well laying here isn't helping."
"Neither is going out with my friends. Where's Maxi?"
"At the foot of the bed." Cody's eyes popped open as he sat up
"Maxi!" The dog hopped toward Cody getting tangled and falling over in the sheets along the way. Cody picked him up and kissed the top of his head
"The dog gets a kiss before I do."
"I'm sorry Ran." Cody leaned down and kissed him. "I can't believe John made me leave him." Randy shrugged. "How is he?"
"Annoying. Do you have facial hair?" Cody rubbed his thin and barely there mustache
"Yea. Do you like it?"
"I do actually. Makes you look like less of a twink." Cody sighed
"I never thought I'd miss your rude comments." Randy smirked
"Is that all you missed?" Cody put Max down on the floor and straddled Randy's waist. The little dog fled the room
"No that's not all I missed."
"My cooking?"
"You cooked for me remember?" Cody asked biting at Randy's bottom lip
"That's right I did, didn't I?"
"Mmhm." Randy slipped his fingers through Cody's hair as the smaller man slipped his tongue into his mouth. Cody's hand made its way to the waist of Randy's shorts and undid the belt, button and zipper. Randy moaned when the hand slid inside and gripped his semi-hard cock
"Let me see you Codes." Cody sat up and wiggled out of his little grey briefs while Randy rid himself of his clothing. "Lie down." He positioned himself in the middle of the bed and watched as Randy moved to the end and pushed his legs up. He looked up
"What?"
"Your balls look incredibly smooth." Cody laughed
"Evan and I got waxed the other day."
"Seriously?" Cody nodded and Randy spread his cheeks. "Oh, seriously." He said to himself. Cody gasped when he felt the warm tongue lick around his pucker
"I definitely missed that." Randy smirked as he buried his face deep between the perfect cheeks. He sucked and licked then added a finger when he felt Cody pushing down and silently asking for more. Randy slowed his fingers once Cody started whimpering. He wanted to make this last. "Now Randy." He looked up and saw the longing in Cody's bright eyes. So much for making it last he thought as he wiped his mouth and stroked his cock. "I want it hard baby."
"Tell me how hard."
"As hard as you want to give it."
"Turn over." Cody did so and Randy gave his ass a slap. "Lay flat." Cody followed those directions as well. Randy spread the cheeks again and slowly pushed inside
"Shit."
"Let me know if it's too much okay?" Cody nodded and Randy started to gently rock his hips pushing deeper with each thrust. Soon they found a rhythm and were rocking the bed. The room was filled with grunts and groans and expletives, mostly from Cody. Randy wanted to stay inside Cody all day but that wouldn't be the case
"Oh, you feel so good buried deep in my ass Randy." Randy squeezed his eyes shut tight as he tried to block out what was being said. Is this what him speaking Spanish did to John? Most likely. "Harder Randy, please." Randy let his hips take over and they pounded the man under him. "Oh my fucking," Cody buried his face in the pillows as Randy continued with his onslaught
"Fuck!" He yelled out as he filled Cody. The younger man tuned over and tugged at his cock. He beckoned Randy over with his other hand. As he moved to take him into his mouth Cody arched off the bed and came all over Randy's face. When he caught his breath he looked down and laughed
"Less like a twink, huh?"
"Asshole. Are you going to leave me like this?"
"Uh-huh. I think it looks good on you." Randy lunged and Cody screamed. "Okay! I'm sorry." He said grabbing a shirt and cleaning Randy's face. "Thanks for the money Ran. I'm keeping track of the money you've given me so I can pay you back some day." Cody said curling into Randy's arms
"Don't worry about it." He said kissing the top of Cody's head
"Ran?"
"Yes?"
"Can you go again?" Randy looked down at him in shock
"Right now?!"
"Yea, well like 10 minutes."
"I can go again if you want to go again…whatever you want."
"Okay. Be ready." Randy laughed
"I think you need to be ready." Cody placed a soft kiss on Randy's chest
"I'm pretty sure I can handle it. I'm still sore after but the way it feels while we're doing it totally outweighs that. I'm still not into that freaky stuff though."
"And that's fine because you never have to be."
"Okay…but let's not say never okay?" Randy smiled
"Of course not. I'm a never say never type of guy."
Square One Burgers
"Are you sure you want to eat here?"
"Yes. I haven't had an appetite all week and now that I do I'm craving a burger."
"So I worked up your appetite?"
"Apparently." Cody said from behind a menu. Randy sat there and watched Cody scarf down an Angus cheeseburger, onion rings and a caramel milkshake. He even snuck a French fry or two off Randy's plate. He topped off the meal with a piece of red velvet cheesecake and Randy could have sworn Cody growled at him when he attempted to get a piece with his fork
"Ran?" Cody said taking a break
"Yes?"
"Has John said anything about me?" Randy cringed
"No." Cody dropped his fork and pushed the plate away
"You can have some if you want…eat the rest of it."
"Codes,"
"I'm fine Randy."
"No you're not and not being okay is okay. He hasn't forgotten about you."
"But he's trying."
"He might be but it's not going to happen. John loves you so much Cody or else he wouldn't feel the way he does. John just can't talk to you about it right now because his ego won't let him. Haven't you learned that about him? He did the same thing that time you got drunk and danced on that guy."
"I know but that doesn't make it hurt any less." Randy nodded
"I get it and Cody I'm so sorry you're going through it alone." He saw the tears well in Cody's eyes. "Here." He said handing him his keys. "Go out to the car and I'll take care of the bill." Cody took the keys and slid out of the booth. When they got back to the apartment the two men took Max for a walk since he was such a good boy and didn't use the bathroom inside while they were gone
Later
John: are you coming back home any time soon?
Randy looked down and saw Cody curled against him asleep
Randy: no. I'll see you tomorrow
John: excuse me?
Randy: You asked if I was coming home anytime soon and I'm telling you no. I'll see you tomorrow
John: Randy
Randy: what? Are you okay?
John: I'm fine except for the fact you're making me sleep alone…and I have no idea where you are
Randy: I'm sure you have an idea
John: my friends might be here tomorrow. Goodnight
Randy ignored John's last text and put his phone away. Carefully he moved Cody then left the couch and headed to the washer and dryer to switch Cody's clothes over. A little while later he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist
"Don't you have to go home soon?"
"No. I told John that I wasn't coming home until tomorrow." Randy felt Cody's grip tighten and his head on his back
"Thank you."
"Sure. I'll make you breakfast in the morning and your lunch for Monday. Do you want me to pick you up for lunch Tuesday?" He felt Cody nod against his back. "Okay."
"You know," Cody said slipping his hands under Randy's shirt. "You being all nice like this makes me want you so bad." Randy laughed
"Is that what I feel? Your want?" Cody rutted against him
"Yep. Can you finish with the clothes tomorrow?"
"I suppose." Randy said turning around and kissing Cody. They undressed quickly and Randy bent Cody over the bed. "Can I?"
"Please."
"Please what?" Randy asked slapping his cock against Cody's ass
"Please fuck my ass Randy." He said wiggling it. Randy gripped the set of hips in front of him and plowed inside. "Hard baby." Randy couldn't deny Cody
Next Morning
Cody woke up and sniffed the air. Apple cinnamon pancakes. He missed the smell of Randy's cooking
"Codes!" He put on a pair of underwear, brushed his teeth quickly and went to the kitchen
"Good morning."
"Morning." Randy said kissing him. "You have to eat before it gets cold." Cody sat down at the table
"Is this strawberry milk?!"
"Yes. I bought it yesterday when I brought you more groceries."
"You mean when you brought yourself more groceries."
"Well yea…eat your food." Cody sipped his milk as he smothered the pancakes in syrup. He always did and Randy wondered if he could even taste the pancake underneath. He unloaded the dishwasher in between bites of pancakes that Cody insisted on feeding to him. "Can you at least rinse your dishes and put them in here instead of the sink?"
"Yea, I can do that."
"Thank you Your Highness." Cody smiled
Later
Cody and Randy lay in the bed panting when the doorbell rang. Cody groaned
"I'll get it." Randy said getting up. He checked the peephole and saw Evan standing there with Nick. "Hey." The two men looked at him
"Did we interrupt?"
"Nope…just finished actually. I'm glad you guys are here because I have to go soon and I feel like shit for leaving him."
"Well I'm sure you've left him with a nice parting gift." Nick said
"I give all year-round." Randy said on his way back to the bedroom. "Codes?"
"Yea?"
"You have to get up and shower. Evan and Nick are here."
"I don't wanna. I'm tired." Cody whined
"Then we should have stopped the second time."
"I have to get it when I can."
"Come get in the shower with me."
….
"Call me if you need anything."
"What if I just want you to come over and cuddle?"
"That might take some maneuvering and a little white lie but I would absolutely try to come over and cuddle with you." Cody pouted. "Don't start."
"I love you."
"I love you too. I'll see you Tuesday for lunch."
"Okay." Randy picked up Max's carrier
"See you later." Randy left the apartment and headed back home. He dreaded going home and not only facing John but having his friends there as well. Luckily, when he pulled up to the house the only car outside was Evan's. He parked in the garage and went inside. After letting Max out of the carrier Randy went upstairs and changed into a fresh pair of clothes. John was nowhere in sight but his cars were in the garage. Randy thought about sending him a text until he opened the sliding door to let Max out and saw John sitting on the patio
"Long time no see." John said turning to Randy
"You just saw me yesterday but I can understand you missing me. I'm sure my short absence felt like an eternity."
"Don't be a smartass Randy. I'm pissed." Randy slipped into John's lap
"Pissed about what baby?"
"You know what Randy." John said wrapping his arms around Randy's waist
"Can I be honest with you John?"
"You can always be honest with me."
"You're being a real fucking dick about this whole thing and you're letting your enormous ego get the best of you AND you're driving me crazy. You love Cody. I know you do and you're just being unfair. He kissed someone else and came right home to tell us. What's the problem?"
"He kissed someone else."
"Without your say-so?"
"Yea. You know how I am Randy and he should too. That shit doesn't fly with me and it never will."
"So why are you being a dick to me?"
"Am I being a dick to you?"
"Yes and you know you are. Like when I told you I wasn't coming home last night…you knew where I was."
"I had an idea of who you were with but I didn't know where you were…so where were you?"
"With Cody."
"Where Randy?"
"At my old apartment." John looked at him
"Your old apartment? You're still paying for that?"
"Yes and it's a good thing or else Cody wouldn't have had anywhere to go."
"Well it's a good thing you did keep it as I wouldn't want him to be homeless." Randy wanted to punch John in the throat
"Since I'm being honest with you I'm going to give you another reason you're being a fucking asshole: you made him leave and haven't talked to him since. He has no closure John and you're controlling him right now. You know that until you talk to him and say yes we're going to be together or no we're not, he's not going to be with anyone else." Randy shrugged John's arms off him and stood up. "You're way controlling which I figured out a long time ago but now it's really pissing me the fuck off! What did Cody do that was that bad John?! Nothing and you're punishing him like he's a child and stringing him along. Because you want to control everything! Because you want him to feel like shit because you feel like shit! You're sick."
"Shut up Randy!"
"No. You know that,"
"I said shut up! You're lucky my foot's all fucked up because I'd like to kick your ass right now."
"I wish your foot wasn't fucked up so you could attempt to kick my ass. Let him go or get the fuck over yourself and let him come back." Randy picked up Max, which would have been a hilarious sight had he not been so mad, and went in the house
Two Months Later: June
Randy was exhausted. For the last two months he'd been splitting his time between John and Cody. He'd been meaning to ask John how he juggled three people at once. Randy was still harboring anger with John for not clearly defining what his relationship was with Cody. John was harboring anger with Randy for not siding with him 100% and not seeing Cody but they tried their best to not let that get in the way of their relationship
"Ran!"
"In the laundry room!" John walked into the room and goosed Randy as he leaned over into the dryer. "Damn it John. I could have hit my head. This room is barely big enough for me as it is." He said kissing John
"I'm not having this room renovated." Randy laughed
"That's not what I meant…and I'd ask you to make the garage bigger so I could have another car before I even suggest making this place bigger."
"Do you want another car?"
"No. I don't need another car."
"That's not what I asked you."
"I don't want another car."
"Okay. Um, what are you doing tomorrow?"
"I'm not entirely sure. It's Cody's birthday so I was going to hang out with him since you'll be at work."
"Oh yea." Randy mentally rolled his eyes. John never forgot important dates like birthdays
"Did you want to do something?"
"I did but go ahead and hang out with him." What a terrible liar Randy thought
Next Day: June 30th
"Hey Codes." Randy said as Cody opened the door
"Hi." Cody said smiling
"Happy birthday."
"Thank you." He said taking Max and a bag from Randy. "Can I open it now?"
"Isn't this normally where I would get a kiss?" Cody puckered his lips as Randy leaned down to kiss him
"Again please." Randy kissed him once more
"Now you can open it." Cody nearly tore the bag apart
"Ran…you always pick the most perfect things."
"Thanks I guess." Cody hugged him tightly
"How are we going to get there?"
"We'll have to fly of course. We can make a weekend of it." Cody smiled. "Have you ever been?"
"Nope."
"You follow the Cowboys but have never been to a game."
"Can't say that I have so thank you for the tickets…and listening to me when I talk."
"It's hard but I manage." Cody hit him. "What do you want to do?" Cody's eyes lit up and Randy knew he was in for it
Hours Later
Randy nearly collapsed on the couch when they made it back to the apartment. Cody had run him ragged. Cody came back from the kitchen with a drink and laughed at Randy laying lifelessly on the couch
"I know you're tired and probably irritated but I had a great time today if that makes you feel any better."
"It does." Cody was about to climb on top of Randy when the doorbell rang
"You stay put. I'll get it." Cody went to the door and opened it. Randy heard the glass he'd been holding shatter as it hit the floor
"Codes!" He said getting up and going to the door. "John."
"Wha, what are you doing here John?"
"It's your birthday and I couldn't let it go by without seeing you or telling you how sorry I am. I've been a complete asshole to you…you too Randy but you especially Cody. I'm so sorry. I love you."
"I don't know what you say. You hurt me John."
"I know." John looked around. "This is weird. Can I come in?" Cody looked down at Randy who was cleaning up the glass then back at John
"I don't know John."

A/N: I'll try to include any foreign translations at the end of the chapters:
"Lo necesito tan malo John, por favor!"
"I need it so bad John, please!"
