A/N: I won't be able to post right before RAW starts so you get this week's chapter a few hours early. Yay! I'm going to the show tonight…in fact I may or may not be in the car barreling toward sweaty men as you read this *swoon* Enjoy!

Next Morning

Randy lay in bed staring at the ceiling like he always did. He hated that he woke up before everyone else but his body was just trained to get up early and go. He figured that was part of the reason he was able to get up before the rest of them rolled over and smelled their own morning breath. Randy was idly stroking Evan's back when he felt him stir

"Are you counting my freckles?" Randy laughed

"Yes."

"Don't bother. Cody's tried it a million times. He's always been fascinated with the sheer amount."

"I'm fascinated with the fact the from a certain point your skin looks freckle and blemish free but up close there are like, at least ten million of these things." Evan laughed

"Ten million is quite a number. I think if there were that many I would be brown."

"You wouldn't have to tan."

"I don't tan…I'm sun-kissed." Randy snorted

"Yea, me too."

"No, you are not sun-kissed. It looks like you and the sun kissed, held hands, rounded third and slid into home." Randy laughed loudly as did John who they thought was sleeping

"Did we wake you J?"

"Yes but that last comment made it all worth it. Try not to wake Cody though. I'm sure today will be a bad one for him."

"What was he drinking?"

"We each did two shots of American Honey then he started having Manhattans and that's only because I stopped him from getting Gin and Tonics."

"He wanted to mix his light and dark liquor?"

"Yes."

"That boy just won't learn." John laughed

"He gon' learn today…just wait until he wakes up."

"I love when your New England comes out John."

"That was cute J."

"Oh thanks. What do you guys want for breakfast? I can order from Perkins or Caribbean Crown because both,"

"Caribbean Crown." Evan and Randy said before John had the chance to finish

"Deliver."

"They don't open for another hour or so John."

"Then I'll call in an hour or is everyone hungry now?"

"We're hungry now."

"Then why didn't either of you say Perkins?" Silence. "Uh-huh."

"Make sure you order a lot of bacon for Codes. I'll toast his bread when he's ready."

"How come you just can't make the bacon too?"

"I don't wanna."

"I guess that's as good an answer as any." John said swinging his legs over the side of the bed. "I'll go downstairs and get the menu."

"Why don't you just look up one on your iPad John?" John looked at Randy and swung his legs back in the bed

"I would actually like Granny's Country omelet." Evan said speaking up

"Your beverage sir?"

"Oh, um, I'll just make myself some coffee."

"As you wish. Randy my love?"

"Brioche French toast please."

"What the hell did I need a menu for?" John said dropping his iPad to the floor

"The phone number unless it's saved in your phone."

"I don't think I like you very much right now." John said picking the tablet up again. Randy and Evan just laughed. "Are you sure I shouldn't get something for Cody other than bacon?"

"Don't. He won't eat it. It's going to be hell getting him to even eat the toast and bacon."

"Okay."

"I need to get my car cleaned today." Randy said stretching

"Why? You're going to wash the paint off that thing." Evan giggled and John looked at him. "This is some sort of sex thing isn't it? Nasty, nasty boys." John said shaking his head and dialing the phone

"Where are you going?" Randy asked as Evan climbed over him

"I want to get a workout in before breakfast." Evan replied kissing him then leaving the room. Randy stretched again and looked to his left only to see John looking at him

"What?"

"How was your date? Clearly it ended with you getting some in your car."

"On my car."

"Excuse me?"

"He talked me into stargazing on the roof of my car and then we had sex."

"On the roof of your car?"

"Yes."

"I must say that I'm jealous. You and I only made it to the trunk." Randy laughed

"You and I could never, safely, do it on the roof as both of us are just too big. Puppy is the perfect size for it."

"Things went well for the two of you then?"

"Mmhm."

"Is he moving in here?" Randy shook his head

"He told me that he wants to keep his room."

"Did you ask him?"

"No. He asked if he had to move in here. I told him he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to." John nodded

"Sounds like a good deal to me."

"Why are you so okay with this?"

"Do you not want me to be?"

"Just answer me John."

"Because I knew that you liked him…probably before you even realized you did and why not? He's a good kid and I don't see the harm in it. I'm confident enough in what you and I have to not feel threatened by you having him too. You let me keep Cody. I think you and I have gone through just about enough to not have it ruined by another person and if Cody didn't then I don't think Evan will either. You and I both know how much you loathed and probably plotted Cody's death but you stuck around…for me."

"What if we, like…fall in love or something?"

"What if you do? Are you going to leave me for him?"

"No."

"Well then I hope you fall head over heels. You'll be good for him Randy. I know you're slightly off in your head and that you probably hear voices," Randy chuckled. "But I've accepted that and Evan has too. He likes you for who you are and hasn't tried changing a thing about you which I think is rare in your case. Be good to him."

"You know I will John."

"I do know that." They both looked down as Cody stirred, groaned and fell back into a deep sleep. John smiled. "He's so cute when he's sleeping."

"Gag."

"I can make you if you want." John said thrusting his hips. Randy laughed

"Oh God John…you're horrible."

"Where are you going? Am I that bad?"

"I want to get a shower. I know I took one last night but I feel like I need another."

"Oh my goodness – I think I need a shower too." John said following Randy to the bathroom

….

"That was amazing." Randy said putting his fork down

"You're not kidding."

"I'm going to warm that bacon and check on Cody."

"We should probably do that. It's been very quiet up there."

"I'll put the bacon in the oven for you. Is 275 good?"

"Yea, I don't want it to get too crispy."

"Got it." Evan said standing. Randy left the kitchen and headed up to the bedroom. He saw that Cody had rolled from his stomach to his back which was a good sign. It meant he was still alive

"Codes?"

"Mmmm?"

"There's food for you downstairs."

"Don't want food."

"You have to eat. It will make the hangover go away faster."

"Why did John let me drink so much? He must hate me."

"Oh stop. You're a grown man and John is not your keeper. Why did you drink so much?"

"I have no idea Ran."

"I'm going to start the shower for you."

"I need it."

"I know."

"Hey!" Cody managed to drag himself out of bed and to the bathroom. Randy laid out clothes for him in the bathroom then handed him his toothbrush, toothpaste already applied, so that he could kill two birds with one stone and brush in the shower

"I put some clothes out for you so put those on when you get out, okay?"

"Whatever." Cody groaned. Randy just laughed and left the room. When he got to the kitchen he had to rub his eyes. Evan and John had cleaned up the dishes and started Cody's toast

"Who are you and what have you done with Evan and John?"

"Very funny."

"I know how to do stuff I just don't. You've got it all covered baby."

"Right." Randy said looking at John. Moments later they watched Cody walk into the kitchen, hair somehow matted to one side, and slump into a chair at the island

"Good morning."

"It's not really but thank you."

"It is because you're alive."

"Am I?"

"I hope so because I don't want to be dead yet."

"Thank you." Cody said taking the plate of toasted bread and bacon from Randy. "Can I have," Evan put a mug of coffee and a glass of orange juice in front of him. "Thanks. How long have you guys been awake?"

"Hours." Cody groaned again

….

"What are you looking at?" Randy asked sitting next to Evan in the den

"Beds. I'd like to change my room around and I really want a bed with a footboard."

"You should just let me redo the entire room. I thrive on those sorts of things." Evan handed the iPad to Randy

"I was hoping you would say that." He said resting his head on Randy's arm. The older man opened one of the designer apps on his iPad and typed in the measurements of Evan's room. "You have design apps on here?"

"Yes." Randy said tapping away at the screen. "Do you like contemporary styles?"

"I don't care Randy. I just want a new bed."

"Just a new bed? Oh no, no…you're getting an entirely new room." Evan laughed

"Okay."

"You know a contemporary design doesn't really call for a footboard."

"But I want a footboard so make it work." Randy snarled and tried to figure out a way to work around the footboard idea

"What about this?"

"I don't like it. What about that one?" Evan asked pointing

"I don't like that one."

"You don't sleep there."

"What if," Randy said waving his finger. "I get a bed with a low board like this? It's still at the foot of the bed so it counts." Evan rolled his eyes

"That does look nice." Randy smiled

"It's a platform bed so should I order a step stool for you?"

"Eat me."

"I will later but I need you to focus right now."

"I'm holding you to that."

"I promise. Do you want the bench as well?"

"How much is this thing?" Evan asked snatching the iPad

"Don't worry about it." Randy said snatching it back. "Bench or no bench?"

"Randy."

"Bench it is."

"Randy, I know you're not about to add those night tables."

"Why not?"

"Who pays $210 for a night table?"

"Me…get out of here." Randy said pushing Evan away. "I told you not to worry about it."

"I can't let you do that."

"You can repay me with sexual favors."

"Whoa," John said walking into the room. "I may or may not have walked in on the wrong part of that conversation." The doorbell rang. "I'm more than happy to get that." John said leaving the room

"Hey guys." Cody said moping into the room

"Hey. How do you feel?"

"I'm feeling a lot better but still like poop…and I have bacon in my teeth but I'm too tired to floss."

"The door is for you Evan."

"Me?" He said standing

"Yes. It's Nick."

"Oh wonderful." He said leaving the room. John put his hand on Randy's shoulder as he attempted to get up

"Nope, not going to let you do that. He needs to handle this Randy and if he needs you he will come get you." Randy rolled his shoulders. "Relax."

"I'm relaxed."

Foyer

"Are you going to make me just stand here?"

"We could go outside if that's what you would prefer." Nick sighed

"Never mind then. What have you been up to?"

"What?! What have I been up to? I've been going to work and living my life. What do you think I was doing?"

"I don't know that's why I asked."

"How's wrestling?"

"I didn't come here to talk about that."

"What did you come here for? We're not getting back together."

"Why?"

"Because Nick! I'm not going to wait around for you, I can't. I want to have a life and I want to be with someone who's there and the fact of the matter is that you won't be. You're in Orlando and I'm here in Tampa."

"You can move. They have schools there you know."

"I don't know if you know this or not but the school year has started already."

"So finish this year and move once it's over."

"And in the meantime do what? Wait around for you? We're still going to be apart."

"If you ever loved me at all you'd do it."

"Are you kidding me? You have to be kidding me right now."

"I'm not kidding. People at the school talk all the time about their boyfriends and girlfriends waiting for them at home."

"They must not have anything better to do or have anything going for them."

"You're being so selfish Evan."

"I'm being selfish? I'm being selfish!?" Evan said pointing to himself. "You're doing this Nick! We would still be together right now if you hadn't quit your job, if you hadn't decided to move over an hour away and if you hadn't decided to move away from me! Don't you dare turn this around and make it my fault."

….

"We've been friends forever and I've never heard Evy yell like that." John looked over at Randy who was madly tapping at the screen of his tablet

"You're going to put a hole in that thing."

"I can buy a new one."

"You might have to with the way you're going. I hope you've backed up all your information on iCloud." Randy laughed

"Shut up John."

….

"If you came here to try and convince me that I should leave my job, move and get back together with you then forget about it. It's not going to happen Nick. I need to for the first time in my life live my life for me."

"What are you talking about?"

"Ever since I was a kid I put people before me or worried about everyone else's well-being and I can't do it anymore."

"Are you referring to practically taking care of Cody like he was your child? That was your fault…don't take it out on me."

"This is about you and I so don't talk about Cody."

"Why not? I approached you years ago about getting together but you said no because of him and I understood that. I liked him, he's a good friend but you took it upon yourself to put us on hold. He didn't ask you and look, he managed to get two boyfriends while you have no one."

"Stop talking about Cody."

"I should ask him for pointers on how to get two good-looking guys. I'm sure there are some easy-steps to doing it…he mostly just used being stupid and cute though." In the den the three men heard a thud in the foyer then saw Evan breeze past the doorway

"Evan!" John yelled

"I need an ice pack!" John and Randy jumped up, Randy heading toward the kitchen while John went to the foyer. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Nick lying by the door

"My house is becoming an asylum. Everyone in this place is completely fucking crazy." John said pulling Nick into a chair by the door. In the kitchen Randy took a gel pack from the freezer and wrapped it in a towel

"What happened?" He asked handing it to Evan who wrapped it around his hand

"I punched him." Randy laughed

"Why?"

"He was pissing me off and then he started talking about Cody."

"What did he say?" They looked up and saw Cody standing in the doorway

"It doesn't matter. It wasn't nice and that was the issue."

"Tell me what he said Ev."

"That he wanted to ask you for pointers on how to get two good-looking guys and said you used being stupid and cute as your method."

"I'll kill him."

"Randy no."

"He called me stupid?" Evan nodded. "Why would he call me stupid? I didn't do anything to him. I thought Nick was my friend." Cody said wiping his eyes. "I'm not stupid."

"No you're not."

"What the hell is going on?" John asked walking in. "Why are you crying?"

"Nick called me stupid so Ev hit him."

"What? I thought you were conversing about the two of you."

"We were but I said I wanted to do things for me which means I'm not going to leave my job and move for him and he brought up Cody. Said that I took care of Cody like he was my child but still he somehow managed to get two guys while I have no one."

"And that made you hit him?"

"No, him calling Cody stupid is what pushed me over the edge."

"Well when he comes to he has to leave."

"He's still unconscious?"

"Yes. I slapped him a few times but nothing. I'm sure it was one hell of a punch but his head hitting the tile floor is probably what really did it. I need some water to throw in his face."

"This isn't a movie John."

"Damn, I've always wanted to do that."

"I'll take care of it. Leave him to me."

"Randy," John said. "This isn't the time to get out those scrap pieces of carpet you've been dying to use. He's not dead."

"No, no…I'm saving my carpet pieces for another time. I want to have a talk with Nick…I'll verbally bury him if you will." John didn't really like the sound of that but knew that Randy had his mind made up. "You don't think it's broken do you?" Randy asked referring to Evan's hand

"No." Evan said flexing it

"I'll be right back." Randy walked to the foyer and kicked Nick's foot until he saw him stir. When Nick opened his eyes he saw Randy looming over him. "Get up."

"I'm dizzy."

"Then sit. Can you hear me?"

"I hear you just fine."

"Good because I don't like repeating myself. I'm going to assume that you bumped your head a few times at that wrestling school or all that bleach is seeping into your brain and that's why you thought you could come in here and talk about Cody like you did,"

"I,"

"Shut your fucking mouth. I don't want to hear that you were joking or that you didn't mean it because I won't hear any of your excuses. All I know is that you bad-mouthed Cody who has never wronged anyone in his life. Don't ever say a thing about him again; in fact, you should never say the name Cody again in reference to him or anyone else. You are no longer welcome here and you better hope that I don't see you outside of this place because if I do I might not fight the urge to drop you where you stand. I think your worst mistake is now you've lost Evan and Cody as friends you idiot. Get up." Nick stood his knees wobbly. Randy opened the door. "Another thing, don't worry yourself with whether or not Evan will find someone. He'll be perfectly fine now get the fuck out." Randy had three sets of eyes looking at him when he came back to the kitchen. "What?"

"What did you do?"

"I told him to leave."

"You told him to leave?" John said incredulously

"Yes. It wasn't that nice but that's what I basically said." Randy sighed. "I'm going to get my car cleaned. If you want me to bring back lunch just text me an order for something and I'll bring it home. Everyone okay with that? Good." Randy said grabbing his keys off a hook and leaving the kitchen

"I'm in a perpetual state of confusion around this house which is strange considering I work with six year olds who have no sense of logic and just do whatever the hell they want."

"Well Randy kind of does whatever the hell he wants."

"I can't believe Nick called me stupid." John and Evan looked at Cody. "Do you guys think that I'm stupid?"

"No." They answered in unison

"You guys know me, why would he say that?" Evan looked at John who shrugged. Evan's eyes widened and John shook his head making Evan sigh and narrow his eyes at him. "Hello?"

"You don't always exercise the best judgment or say the right things."

"So that makes me stupid?"

"No. It makes you Cody." Cody sighed

"I don't even know what that really means but whatever. As long as you guys like me and I like me then I'm not going to worry about him."

"That's the spirit." John said chiming in and making Evan roll his eyes at him. Cody grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge

"I'm going to lie down." He said taking John by the hand and dragging him along

….

Randy walked into the den and saw Cody and John asleep and Evan dozing. He turned to leave but saw Cody move

"I smell pizza." He said with his eyes still shut

"I have pizza." Randy said laughing. "We'll be in the kitchen. Get up Puppy." Evan rolled off the couch then stood up and went to the kitchen while Cody woke John

"Paint still on your car?" John asked as he entered the kitchen and stretched

"It's still there and it's super shiny. Where the hell are the rest of the paper plates?"

"Right here on the table…I already got them out."

"Oh," Randy said looking at Evan. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Cody looked at them and smiled

"I forgot that you two went on a date! Is that what happened," He asked pointing his finger between the two men. "You're going to start doing stuff for each other? How cute."

"It wasn't a date." Randy had to reiterate

"Oh sure it wasn't. So what happened guys? Did Ran officially tie you down Ev?"

"Tie me down? What does that mean?"

"I'd like to tie him up actually."

"Why are the two of you being so evasive? If you're together I'll figure it out eventually. You know I'm a snoop."

"Then put on your Inverness coat and get out your pipe and magnifying glass Sherlock." Cody narrowed his eyes

"Fine then, don't tell me." He said biting into his pizza slice and staring at Randy who silently started a staring contest. Cody looked away

Weeks Later

Randy pulled up to the front of the school building where Cody worked and retrieved his phone from the center console. Unlocking the phone he went to his favorites and hit Cody's name. Cody was in his classroom when he heard his phone buzzing on his desk. He put down the papers in his hand and walked over and when he saw the screen he smiled

"Hi Ran-Ran."

"Hey Codes. Are you hungry?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to go have lunch with me?" Randy asked using a baby-like tone he only used and would only ever use in private when with Cody. Cody smiled on the other end of the line

"Yes."

"I'm sitting outside." Cody couldn't stop smiling

"I have to pass out some papers. I'll be out in two minutes."

"I'll be here." Cody moved quickly around the room and finished placing the papers for his next class on the desks. He left the room but peeked his head in the longue on his way down the hall

"We were waiting on you Rhodes."

"Don't wait up. I'm going out for lunch but I was stopping in to tell you that you can have my lunch that's in the fridge."

"Oh, awesome. See you later."

"Bye guys." Cody continued down the hall and outside where he saw Randy's car sitting out front. "Hey Ran." Cody said hopping in and kissing Randy

"Hey."

"How come you didn't tell me you were going to pick me up? You packed my lunch remember?"

"I remember. I wanted to surprise you." Cody smiled brightly

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Where do you want to go?" Daily Eats Randy thought

"Daily Eats."

"Daily Eats it is." Randy drove them over to the small restaurant and once inside they were seated

"How's your day going baby?"

"Good." Cody said sipping his Cinnabun milkshake. "Well actually one of my classes was so unruly today so I gave them a pop quiz and homework. I was like vegetables."

"Like vegetables?"

"Yes. I was steamed." Randy laughed at the thought of Cody's face turning red and him getting irritated

"I'm sure they weren't happy about that."

"No they weren't but I wasn't happy with trying to speak and them talking over me."

"I get it. Some days I guess they just don't want to be in school but that's not your fault and it doesn't mean they should be rude."

"Exactly." Cody said taking a bite of his chopped salad

….

Randy was in Evan's room packing up the clothes in his dresser so that the new furniture could be moved in sometime that week. He shut one of the drawers and heard someone running up the steps and when he turned Evan burst into the room

"What's wrong with you?"

"Did I beat Cody home?"

"Did you see his car out there?"

"No. Not to my recollection."

"You didn't because he's not here. You win…what you win I don't know." Evan pushed Randy to the bed and jumped on top of him. "Oh."

"I know that he likes to have you when he gets home from work but I need you first." Evan said making light work of Randy's pants

"How did you get here so fast?"

"I cashed in a favor and got another teacher to switch bus duty with me. Take your shirt off." He commanded as he stripped his own clothes off. It made Randy hard just watching and knowing how much Evan wanted him right now so he did as he was told. As Evan gripped Randy's cock a thought went through his head and he raised his head from the pillow cradling it

"Wait a second – are you going to fuck me?" Evan laughed

"I hadn't planned on it but now that you bring it up." Randy sat up on his elbows. "Is that not allowed in this relationship because that won't work for me?"

"No, I'll allow it."

"Oh good," Evan said smiling. "But I don't want to right now." Randy sat up and pressed his back to the headboard while Evan straddled his waist. Randy wrapped his arms around Evan's waist while Evan leaned forward and reached into his night table for lube. After popping the top he let some of the contents drip into his hand before wrapping his small hand around Randy's throbbing member. He moved it up and down slowly before letting his right hand join. Randy groaned as he watched his dick slip and slide through Evan's fingers. He licked his lips and ran a hand over his head

"…my god." Evan looked up at Randy though his dark lashes but kept up the motions of his hands

"Do you like that?" Randy nodded

"Yes." He tightened his grip and moved his hands faster. Randy just closed his eyes and let the wonderful sensations flow through his body. He gasped when he felt a delightful friction rubbing against him and looked down. Evan had grabbed his own cock in his hand and was now rubbing the two of them together. "…oh fuck this." Randy said as he pushed Evan off of him and pulled him to the edge of the bed. "Bend over." Evan did and moaned when he felt the other man's fingers swirling around his hole. He gripped the sheets when he felt two fingers slide inside of him

"Randy no,"

"What?"

"I want to feel you now."

"You'll feel me. I promise."

"But, I want…now," Randy laughed and quickly removed his fingers replacing them with his cock. "Mmm, yes," Evan groaned arching his back. Randy rubbed Evan's back with one hand while and other held his right hip tightly. Evan grunted louder the deeper Randy drove into him. "Harder Randy, please." He was overjoyed. The rough sex he craved he could now have with Evan. Cody couldn't take it and John would never bottom. The hand that was on Evan's back moved to his left hip and held it just as tightly as the right one as he thrust in and out of the man forcefully. Evan was only able to make sounds as his head was cloudy and all his vocabulary, lost

Downstairs Cody walked in through the front door and was met by Max who was happily wagging his tail and turning in circles, excited to see Cody

"Hi baby." Cody said stooping down and picking the little dog up. "I'm happy to see you too." He said scratching behind the dog's ears. "Where's Ran? Do you need to go out?" He laughed. "Like you can answer me." Cody said opening the backdoor and stepping outside. He watched as Max ran around looking for a good spot to pee. He went then trotted back to Cody. Inside Cody gave the dog a treat then headed upstairs and before he even made it to Evan's room he could hear the coupling of the two men. He wanted to watch them but John had told him a few days ago not to watch them anymore…at least not as freakishly as he did before. He walked past the room and was almost to his bedroom before he doubled back sliding his back against the wall and peeking into the room. Cody bit his bottom lip as he watched the two sweaty bodies slide against each other. Evan was nearly flat on the mattress with his head pressed deep into the sheets while Randy pushed in and out of him. He watched as Randy leaned down and nipped roughly at the smaller man's neck with his teeth making him hiss

"That feels so good Randy."

"Yea?"

"Mmhm, yes." Evan drawled. Just outside the room Cody was gnawing on his finger still torn on whether or not he should leave. He had no clue when John would be home and didn't want to get caught but he just could not turn away

"What are you doing?" Cody screamed and jumped at the sound of John's voice. "I thought I told you to stop doing that or at least I think I did."

"You did but I can't help it, honest. I walked past the door but my feet had a mind of their own and turned me back around and I ended up here." John crossed his arms over his chest

"Oh? Is that what happened?"

"Uh-huh." Cody held up his pointer, middle and ring fingers. "Scouts honor." John laughed

"I still don't believe you."

"Hey!" The two men turned and looked into the room at Randy. "The next time the two of you want to have a conversation try doing it down the hall or anywhere I'm not having sex." He said as Evan pulled him down onto the bed with him. John rolled his eyes at Randy who was preoccupied

"How did you get home before me Ev?"

"I drove really fast." He said sleepily. "Can you guys give us a minute?"

"Sure." John said pulling the door shut. "You come with me Cody." They heard him say before the door shut completely

"Tired?" Randy asked running his fingers through the dark messy mop of hair on Evan's head

"Yes. I'm sure you have stuff to do but I want you to lay here with me for a while."

"Of course. Did you want to talk to me about something?"

"No. I just want you next to me."

"I can do that." Randy said pulling the man closer. "But I have to get dinner started in about 30 minutes."

"That's fine. I'll help you." Evan mumbled into Randy's chest. Randy smiled. In the bedroom John sat at the foot of the bed and looked up at Cody

"Didn't we have a talk about you watching Randy and Evan?"

"Yes we did John and I'm sorry but if my feet carry me in a certain direction I just have to follow them. My feet want what they want." John laughed in spite of himself

"Stop being funny because I'm serious."

"How come I can't watch them? Did they say something?"

"No but if they're in a room having a private moment then you shouldn't be lurking around and watching them like that. If they're in the room with us then consider it a free show." Cody sighed

"Is it because they're together now? That's not fair!"

"Who said that they were together? All I said was that if they were in another room then don't watch them…and what's not fair?"

"Not being able to look."

"Stop acting like a baby. I've said what I had to say and I mean it. End of discussion." Cody huffed

"Anyway," He said smiling. "Since you're home baby," Cody said eyeing John and swaying his hips back and forth as he undressed. John smiled. He knew that he couldn't resist a hip swaying Cody or any type of Cody for that matter

"You turn to me because Evan got to Randy first? I feel used."

"I'll make it up to you, I promise." Cody said sinking down to his knees and working John's pants like a pro. The Cody on his knees right now is a lot different than the Cody John had met nearly three years ago

John walked to his front door after hearing the doorbell. He reached the door and opened it smiling at Cody as he did

"Hey."

"Hi John." Cody said walking in and kissing him

"Our dinner's ready if you want to eat now."

"Did you cook?"

"You know that I didn't cook anything. I can't cook."

"That makes two of us." Cody said following John into the kitchen and taking a seat at the table. John put two plates and enough utensils on the table for him and Cody to eat with and serve themselves food from the containers

"What did you do today?" Cody sighed

"Got yelled at by my professor for being late this morning."

"I told you to get out of bed when the alarm went off."

"I know but I don't like getting out of bed and leaving you." John smiled and ran his fingers though Cody's hair and the younger man smiled. "What are we doing later?"

"Whatever you want baby."

"I really just want to cuddle actually."

"We can cuddle. I'll put a movie on." They finished their dinner and John cleaned up while Cody went upstairs to change into a pair of the lounge pants he kept there. When he came back to the den John had unfolded a blanket and was flipping through the movie guide. Cody moved the blanket back and snuggled under it. All throughout the movie John yawned and half-way through he almost fell asleep

"John?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you awake?"

"Yes."

"But barely."

"I'm tired and this movie is a little boring."

"Well would you rather," In his head John hoped that Cody would suggest that they have sex. He knew that he wouldn't considering that Cody was a virgin. "John?"

"Huh?"

"Are you listening to me? You know, never mind."

"I zoned out a bit. I'm sorry baby. What did you say?"

"I was just – well I was thinking and…I don't know. You'll probably think that I'm weird."

"No I won't. Just tell me."

"Well I was talking with my friend Evan about oral sex and," YES! John screamed in his head. "He suggested that I try it. I'm not ready for sex yet but I figure I can do that." John tried to remain calm. He'd imagined sliding his dick between Cody's pouty lips for months

"We can try that if you want to."

"What if I'm bad though?"

"I don't think that there's such a thing."

"John."

"I know that it's your first time and I'll help you through it. I'm not here to make fun of or tease you. I'd never do that."

"Promise me."

"I promise you." John said honestly looking into Cody's bright blue eyes. Cody gasped when John pulled him up and into his lap like he weighed nothing. He kissed Cody's mouth then down his neck as he discreetly exposed himself. He didn't want to seem too eager but he couldn't deal with Cody's fumbling fingers right now. John guided one of Cody's hands to his member and let him take over from there. So much for not having to deal with Cody's fumbling fingers. John had learned that Cody never, in his life, had ever masturbated so he was a novice when it came to using his hand and he also didn't know what he liked so how would he know what someone else would like? John wrapped his hand around Cody's to silently instruct him on what to do. "Harder."

"What?"

"You can do it harder."

"What if I hurt you?"

"You're not going to hurt me." John said squeezing his hand around the young man's forcing him to use a much firmer grip. As Cody got the hang of it John moved his hand and let the man work

"Do I put my mouth on it now?" 'I sure as fuck hope so' John said to himself

"If you want to baby." John closed his eyes as Cody made his way to the floor and between his legs. He opened his eyes when he realized that Cody had been down there for a while with no action. "What's wrong?"

"It's so big. I can't get all of that in my mouth." John laughed good-naturedly

"You don't have to put it all in your mouth. Just do what comes natural…but don't bite it or anything, please." John let out a quiet breath when he felt Cody's warm tongue lick the tip of his cock and groaned when his mouth surrounded it. It was a dream come true. It didn't take Cody long to get the hang of things. He was no expert by any means but he wasn't anywhere near as bad as John thought he would be. John looked down and almost lost it when he saw that beautiful mouth wrapped around him. "Cody, baby,"

"Yea? Oh god, am I doing it wrong? I'm sorry."

"No, no, you're not. I'm going to cum soon. Use your hand too."

"What do I do with it?"

"Do with what?" Cody's face turned bright red. John knew what he meant but wanted to hear him say it

"You know…the stuff when it comes out."

"You can swallow it."

"What?!"

"Or not. Just let it come out I guess but you'll have to get me a wet wash cloth afterward." Cody nodded

"Okay." He said before going back to work. John started to pant the faster the smaller man's head and hand moved

"Co," Before he could get it out John came flooding Cody's mouth. He swallowed a lot of it before screaming and going into a coughing fit. John covered his laugh and tucked his member back into his pants

"That is so gross John!"

"You get used to it." He said taking his shirt off and cleaning up

….

"I know how to use this. I can just make the pasta if you want me to." Evan asked adjusting his glasses

"I would really appreciate that actually."

"Okay." Randy secretly watched as Evan moved around the kitchen and gathered the ingredients for the fresh pasta. He smiled to himself and admitted that it was nice to have someone else in there with him. He seasoned the meat and watched as Evan worked without being told what to do. After he'd picked the ingredients he wiped down a section of the counter top to make sure it was clean before mixing everything in a bowl. Once it was all measured and mixed he let the pasta rest before placing it in the pasta extruder. "What kind do you want me to make?"

"A Swedish meatball usually calls for an egg noodle type but you can't make that so just pick whatever you want."

"What if no one else wants that kind?" Randy laughed

"I'm the head of this kitchen Ev, make whatever you want. Trust me, John and Cody won't think twice."

"Okay but if they don't like it then I'm blaming you."

"You don't even have to take credit. I'll say it was me if there's a problem but there won't be." Evan pushed his glasses up and set about picking a pasta shape. Randy looked over Evan's shoulder after he put the pasta tool on. "Ooh, the lasagnette, good choice." Evan smiled at the older man's pronunciation

"Don't tell me you speak Italian too."

"I don't but wouldn't that be hot?"

"Without a doubt." Randy smirked to himself. Once dinner was cooking Evan and Randy found themselves sitting at the island looking through Randy's vast collection of cookbooks. Cody walked in and just looked at them

"Why can't you guys just tell me if you're together now? I mean I totally ship it so you have my blessing."

"You ship it?"

"Yes. I love you both and you're cute together so why not?"

"Well we're glad that we have your blessing." Randy said and went back to one of the books

"Just tell me!" Cody said stomping his feet

"You need to knock it off Cody."

"Evy," He whined

"Cody," John said walking into the kitchen. "I don't know what's going on but I have a feeling you're being annoying so stop it."

"John!"

"What?"

"You can't just walk in here and say that to me."

"But I did and I'm sure I'm right." Cody huffed as he walked over to the refrigerator to get himself something to drink. "Can you grab me a beer while you're over there?"

"No." Cody said as he grabbed a Naked coconut water and left the kitchen. Randy and Evan watched what looked like John counting to ten in his head

"Excuse me." He said turning toward the two men. "Oh Cody," John said walking away

"Is he really that mad about Cody telling him no?"

"Part of him is mad about that because we never tell John no but more of him is mad at that fact Cody won't drop this whole thing."

"How come we can't just say yes…wait – we are right?"

"I thought so. You're not going to make me formally ask you or get down on one knee or something are you?" Evan laughed

"You can get down on both your knees but not to ask me any questions."

"You are such a little dirty bird."

"Hey Randy?"

"Hey what?" Randy said absently jotting notes on a Post-It and marking a page in the cookbook

"Is that some unspoken thing…that you just don't say no to J?" He chuckled

"No. We just don't." Randy shrugged. "I don't know why. I guess there's never really been a time where we've had to." Evan sat there watching Randy think. "Pretty strange now that I think about it. John's like a fucking hypnotist or something…he must be manipulating our minds." Evan snorted as he laughed

"Oh my God – never mind. I didn't mean for it to get that deep…manipulating our minds. What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing is wrong with me, well; I mean other than the obvious." Evan stood from his seat

"The obvious? That whole crazy thing?"

"Yes. Are you sleeping in bed with me tonight?" Randy asked turning around in his chair

"Don't I always?" Evan said stepping between Randy's long legs

"Well no, you slept in your room last night." He said pulling the small man closer

"Good point. I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Why won't you move into the bedroom?"

"I thought we talked about this. I don't mind sleeping in the same bed with John and Cody, in fact I like it because it's all so cozy but I'm not with them."

"So no more handjobs or blowjobs with Cody?"

"Well I didn't say that. Sex is one thing…I just don't want to move in the room okay?"

"Okay." Evan leaned back and looked into Randy's eyes

"That's it? Just okay? You're not going to argue with me about it?"

"No. You said you didn't want to move in and somewhere in that mess of an explanation you just gave me I figured out what you're saying."

"Good." He said turning away but Randy pulled him back. "Wha," And kissed his lips. "Oh."

"You may go." Randy said releasing Evan from his grip
