A Little Later

"What are we watching babe?" John asked placing the bowl of popcorn he'd just popped between him and Randy. Before answering Randy picked the bowl up and sniffed it. "I did exactly what you told me to do jackass. Now your boogers are all over it." Randy laughed

"I didn't exhale John, I inhaled."

"Whatever. What movie did you pick?"

"We're watching The Fourth Kind."

"Sounds spooky."

"I had to use my iPad since the Netflix selection is better on the Internet. It was listed under psychological thrillers and with Codes and Puppy gone now is the best time to watch."

"True. I don't need Cody trying to rent space in my skin and since I know how much you paid for these decorative pillows I don't want Evan over there shredding them." Randy chuckled

"You saw that?"

"No but I heard the two of you talking about it then I saw the pillow the next morning."

"I love him John." Randy blurted out. John looked at him and laughed

"I know. I can tell." Randy looked at him. "Randy," John sighed. "I may walk around here aloof or like I don't know what's going on but I know everything. You and Cody are everything to me so I feel the need to be in tune to your feelings. Before you came out and said that you wanted Evan, I knew. When Cody and I left that weekend I knew that you were going to have sex with him. Granted, I didn't know it would be a mere hours after we'd left but I knew. After it happened I knew that wasn't going to be the end of it and when the two of you officially started dating I knew it would be more and like I said to you, I'm okay with it. You have many sides to you Randy and Evan fits right in with the part of you that needs to control things. Sure, he back talks like a kid going through the terrible twos but part of you likes it like part of me likes you talking back."

"Not too much though."

"No, not too much. Does he love you?" Randy looked at John

"I know you know the answer to that." John laughed

"You're right. I'm sure he loved you, unbeknownst to him, from the time he was with Dolph."

"He did like me for a long time."

"I see everything Randy. I also saw how you looked at me when you saw us playing around the pool." Randy stiffened. "Mmhm, I see everything. He's cute but I don't want Evan. That little man is all yours." Randy laughed

"Well thank you for not pushing up on my boy." John shook his head

"Even if I was grimy and tried hitting on Evan, he doesn't want me so nothing's going to happen."

"Now I feel bad for making Cody fall madly in love with me." John laughed

"Why?"

"You won't touch Evan, again, but I moved in on Cody sort of."

"You didn't move in on Cody. He liked you way before you liked him and since he's so cute I thought the two of you would happen before it actually did."

"Since he's so cute?"

"The boy is cute Randy and can be downright adorable when he wants. Even if you still hated him right now you would have to admit that."

"He's very cute and so good-natured." John nodded. "Cody's almost like a unicorn or some fantastical shit." John laughed

"He is one of a kind and I'm lucky to have him."

"I think we're all lucky to have him...even if he gets a lot of words wrong and his voice gets so high at times I think my ears will bleed."

"That cracks me up. I'm glad he chose teaching Spanish and not English though."

"Honestly." John kissed Randy and took the remote

"Are we ready?"

"I can be ready on one condition."

"What's that?"

"You better not spit the husk of that popcorn out and onto this bed," John laughed. "Or so help me John."

"No husk spitting. You got it."

...

"Pause the movie John."

"Why? Are you getting scared? I'll hold you baby."

"I'm not scared. I need to use the bathroom." Randy said jumping out of bed

"Mmhm." John grunted sipping from his beer. "Babe!"

"Goddamn John...can't I piss in peace?"

"I'm hungry. Can you make us a snack?"

"Us? I didn't say anything about being hungry."

"You don't want to share a snack with me sweetie pie?" Randy folded his arms over his chest. "I want to laugh at the fact you're doing that naked but I'm afraid if I laugh you won't make me anything to eat."

"You're right, I won't. What do you want?"

"Anything you make will be good."

"Do you want me to make my nachos?" John smiled

"That would be great."

"It's going to take at least 30 minutes." Randy said going to put a pair of underwear on

"I'll be more than happy to wait."

"I bet you will." He said leaving the room

"Love you!" Randy went down to the kitchen and gathered the ingredients for his nachos. It really wouldn't take Randy 30 minutes to make them since there was only warming involved and no actual cooking but he wanted to make John wait

...

"There's like four nachos here!"

"You said a snack. That is snack sized."

"But babe,"

"If you don't put that food in your mouth and be quiet."

"You're only getting away with that because I did ask you for something to eat in the middle of a movie."

"Why are you cracking the whip all of a sudden around here?" Randy asked around the nacho John just fed him. "You've been snappier with me lately."

"I'm asserting my dominance." John said mid-chew

"For what though?"

"Because I can and I feel like I need to every now and again."

"But with me?"

"Especially with you. Cody's only just starting to talk back. You haven't stopped running your mouth since we met." Randy laughed

"John," Randy said chuckling. "You and I wouldn't be able to exist if I didn't give you lip."

"You're right but that doesn't mean I want to hear it all the time." John said starting the movie. Randy picked up the remote and paused the movie again

"Don't dismiss me." John snatched the remote away

"Do not fight with me Randy. We're having a good night, you're naked and I planned on fully taking advantage of that later...just don't ruin it."

"I don't want to fight with you. I never do."

"I don't either. Gimme a kiss and let's end this." Randy kissed him. "Thank you."

"Estamos bien?" John groaned

"Si. Perfecto...is that Spanish?"

"Si."

"You haven't spoken Spanish lately," John said putting the empty plate aside and starting the movie again. "We'll have to take care of that." Randy smiled to himself

"¿Debo hablar español para usted?

"Randy don't start."

"No empiece? ¿Qué estoy haciendo?

"This movie is pretty good. Can we at least finish it?"

"Podemos hacer lo que quieras." John tried focusing on the movie but to his left he could hear Randy muttering Spanish phrases to himself

"I feel like you're doing this on purpose."

"Doing what?"

"The Spanish."

"Préféreriez-vous français? Randy asked running a hand up John's leg

"Aw fuck." John groaned shutting the TV off

"We're not going to finish watching?" Randy asked innocently

"Shut up." John said sucking lightly on Randy's neck before moving to his mouth where he kissed those perfect lips. Randy parted those lips accepting John's tongue as it invaded his mouth. He swung one of his long legs over giving him the advantage over John and climbed on top of him making John groan when he ground into him. Randy kissed down the older man's neck, down his chest and nuzzled his manhood through the fabric of his underwear. He licked and nipped, driving John crazy in the process. He knew the man wanted to be inside his mouth already. "Randy." He looked up

"Yes?"

"You know what the fuck I want." John raised his hips slightly. "Suck it now." Obediently, Randy pulled John's boxer briefs down then loudly sucked him into his mouth. "Mmm, fuck." John breathed as his eyes fluttered shut. Randy bobbed his head up and down rhythmically as his hand pumped John's cock. John was sure he'd die. Not only was Randy sucking him like only Randy could but he was treating him to one of his infamous handjobs. "Oh my God Randy." Randy wanted to smirk but he couldn't with his mouth full of John's dick. To have John this loud and vocal was quiet the accomplishment and he would bask in it at another time. John exhaled deeply as Randy continued sucking and slurping. He listened to John groan, the sound turning him on. Randy pulled his mouth off John then kissed his thighs tenderly before sitting up. "You want to be on top don't you?"

"Yes." Randy answered moving up John's body. John held his member while the younger man hovered then sank down. He listened as Randy hissed

"Stop if you're hurting yourself."

"I'm fine." Randy said not stopping until he was seated on John. "Fuck that feels amazing." He said moving ever so slightly while John held him. He linked his fingers with John's that were on his waist and started to roll his hips at a quick rhythm

"Goddamn Randy." Randy moaned

"Do you like that John?"

"Fuck yes. God that's so fucking good." Randy leaned forward placing his hands on John's chest and clenched his muscles as he moved his ass up and down. John's hands were still on the man's waist so each time Randy moved down John drove him down hard onto his cock

"Fuck!" He shouted as John's member hit his prostate sending an incredibly delicious feeling through his body. "I'm gonna," Randy panted. "I," He groaned. "Shit." He drawled as he came all over John's chest and nearly slumped over

"Get up babe." Randy didn't move. He sat there, with John still inside him, trying to catch his breath. John laughed and flipped the two of them over

"What are you doing?"

"You're about to die so,"

"I'm not about to die but that was really intense. You didn't finish."

"You look exhausted. I can wait for Cody to come home."

"I'm not exhausted and how would you know what I look like. The TV and lights are off."

"You,"

"John,"

"What?"

"Fuck me until you finish." John certainly didn't need to be told twice. He slid back inside his lover thrusting faster until the pit of his belly tingled and he came. "Well now I'm exhausted."

"You and me both. How many years has it been and we're still that good?" Randy laughed as he reached for the remote to the ceiling fan. "What are you doing?"

"This will dry the sheets while we're in the shower. As far as I know there's only sweat on them so I'm not going to put clean ones on."

"Fine by me." John said getting up and pulling Randy to the edge of the bed then throwing him over his shoulder

"You're so manly Big Daddy." John laughed

Later: 2:40 a.m.

The three men awoke with a start when they heard banging coming from somewhere in the house. John immediately reached for the television remote and turned the TV on clicking over to the security feed

"Who the fuck is that?"

"I have no fucking idea."

"And I can't see without my glasses." Randy sat up and peered at the screen

"It's Phil."

"Where's Cody?!" John asked sitting upright in bed

"Shit!" Randy and John both scrambled for a pair of shorts to put on

"Stay here Evan!" They yelled on the way downstairs. When they made it to the front door John disengaged the security alarm and opened the door

"Hey, sorry to,"

"Where's Cody?!"

"That's why I'm here. He got drunk and I had to drive his car here...he's in the car." Randy rushed past John and Phil and went to Cody's car. He opened the door and had to catch Cody as he slumped to the side and almost fell out

"Cody." Randy said lightly slapping his cheek. "Codes wake up for me." Cody groaned. "Open your eyes."

"Ran?" He murmured

"It's me."

"I don't feel good."

"Is he okay?" John asked standing behind Randy

"He's hammered John. Did you watch him drink until he got like this?!" Randy shouted at Phil

"Lower your voice Randy. We're outside and it's three in the morning."

"He didn't have that much though. I think because he sat all night...when he stood up he looked like shit. If I had known I'd never have let him sit there for so long." Randy checked Cody's pulse

"Does he need to go to the hospital?"

"No. His pulse is a little thready but otherwise he's fine." Randy checked the other arm. "This arm's fine. I'm going to take him in the house and try getting him in the shower." He pulled Cody closer to the side of his seat and slipped one arm under his knees and the other behind his back before lifting Cody out of the car

"Where's your car?" John asked Phil as he locked up Cody's vehicle

"I didn't drive. Cody picked me up."

"Well it's late so you have to stay here for the night unless you can get someone to pick you up."

"I'm tired so I'll just stay here." John grunted as he walked into the house

...

"Oh my God." Evan said when he saw Randy walk into the room with Cody in his arms. "Is he okay?" He asked jumping out of bed

"He's really drunk. Turn the shower on for me." Evan hustled to the bathroom and did as Randy told him. He watched as Randy undressed the nearly unconscious man put him in the shower

"Can I do anything?" The small man asked biting his nails

"He's needs to hydrate so get me two Gatorades from the garage...glacier freeze – those are his favorite."

"Okay."

"And we'll both need dry clothes."

"Do you want me to take your shorts?" Evan asked referring to the shorts Randy was still wearing in the shower

"No. I'll just take them off when I get out. Get him a pair of his pajamas and leave them on the counter in here." Evan nodded

"Okay."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Randy looked down at the man he was cradling when he heard him snort

"Codes?"

"Hmm?"

"How are you feeling?"

"Bad and I'm cold."

"I have you in a cold shower."

"I juswan slp."

"What?"

"Sleep...want to."

"You can in a little while."

"...k." Randy maneuvered his body around until he got his shorts off then reached for Cody's body wash cleaning him as best he could before washing the man's hair

"I brought the teddy bear pajamas. Are they okay?"

"They're fine." Randy said shutting the shower off and hoisting Cody up

"Here." Evan said handing him a towel. Randy took it while Evan grabbed one and both men dried Cody off

"Can you support him for a second so I can dry off?"

"Yea...I brought you a pair of shorts anyway." Randy gave a half-smile as he dried himself and pulled the shorts on

"Thank you. Where's the Gatorade?"

"On your night table."

"Okay. You can get in bed if you want. We'll be there in a minute."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." When Evan left Randy dressed Cody then sighed when he realized that the man needed to brush his teeth. "Can you spit?" Cody laughed and without missing a beat he answered

"I never spit." Randy laughed

"I'm asking because you need to brush your teeth."

"Oh. I can."

...

"Are you alright J?"

"I'm fine." Evan looked at him

"I don't believe you but okay."

"I'm just a little frustrated is all. I hate when they make me worry. Cody looked like a fucking corpse out in that car just now. A well dressed, slurring corpse."

"He didn't mean to make you worry. They never do."

"I know but it's just one of those things, you know...that you just can't help but feeling."

"I understand." Both men looked over when Randy and Cody emerged from the bathroom

"Do you mind sleeping next to John tonight Ev?"

"No, not at all." Randy looked at him

"Don't sound so eager." Evan rolled his eyes

"You know that's not what I meant." He said scooting over

"I'm sorry John." Cody slurred climbing into bed

"Sorry for what?"

"I don't know." He said pulling the blankets up. Randy leaned over him

"Come here." He said to Evan who sat up. "Thank you for your help." Randy said kissing him

"You're welcome."

"You okay John?"

"I'm good."

"Goodnight guys."

"Goodnight." Randy slipped into bed and Cody curled up next to him

"Before you fall asleep you need to drink some if not all of this."

"But I don't want to Ran."

"What did I say?" Cody reached for the bottle and brought it to his lips taking little sips. When half the beverage was gone he handed the bottle back to Randy

"Can I be done now?"

"You can be done." Cody snuggled up to Randy again and the older man wrapped his arms around him

"Goodnight Codes." Cody was already asleep

Next Morning

John woke up the next morning and just lay there staring at the ceiling. He looked at Evan who was sleeping peacefully then raised his head a bit and looked over at Cody and Randy

"How long have you been up?"

"I didn't really sleep. Each time I managed to fall asleep I'd wake up when I felt Cody move."

"Why didn't you just push him to the side so he'd stop waking you?"

"I wanted to know that he was moving around."

"You're going to be exhausted today."

"It's alright. I have dinner planned out and I'm not doing any laundry until tomorrow."

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Taking care of him like you have. I would have been too frustrated to deal with it."

"Well when you've been around the people I've been around handling a drunken person is a piece of cake."

"Is that why you worry so much when I get drunk...because of things you've experienced?"

"That is precisely why. What happened to Phil?"

"He's in a room down the hall."

"Oh. What do you want to do about breakfast?"

"I can order us breakfast." Randy yawned and closed his eyes

"Okay. What are you doing up so early?"

"I didn't sleep well either."

"Oh man, I guess Puppy's the only one who's not going to be grumpy today."

"Seems like it huh? I'll probably get a nap in on the couch or something later. I might have to take Phil home."

"Don't let him kiss you." John laughed

"That's Cody's boy."

"I don't know John, he's got all those tattoos and a shaved head, and you may get us mixed up."

"Oh my goodness...stop your mouth right now. There's no way in hell I'd get the two of you mixed up." John said stretching. "Where's my iPad?"

"Should be next to the bed in the second drawer." John turned to his side and opened the drawer

"You're so organized."

"I try."

...

"He's still sleeping?" Randy nodded his head

"Shouldn't he get up and eat something at least? You need to eat too. You've been in bed with him all morning. That omelet I ordered for you is going to taste like shit."

"That's an appetizing thought."

"I'm going to reheat your food. Wake him up so at least one of you can eat."

"Okay." When John left the room Randy pulled the blanket down and uncovered Cody's head. "Codes." Nothing. "Codes wake up."

"I'm awake...I don't want to be but I am. Why? Why did you wake me up?"

"John wants us to eat."

"I can't eat right now."

"You'll feel better."

"I'll never feel better." Cody said pulling the blanket back over his head. Randy pulled it back down. "How did I get home?"

"Phil drove your car and had to bang on the front door so we'd let him in."

"Oh my gosh." Cody groaned. "I feel so bad. Was he mad?"

"He didn't look mad to me but what do I know?"

"Well you know plenty about being mad." Randy laughed

"How's your head?"

"Twenty seconds away from exploding."

"Don't get your brain matter on the duvet."

"Ran."

"What?" He said reaching over onto his night table and grabbing the two pills he'd placed there the night before. "Take these and drink more of this."

"How," Cody popped the pills in his mouth and washed them down with the Gatorade. "How did I get in my bajamas?"

"I dressed you in them after your shower."

"I took a shower?"

"We both took a shower since I was in there with you."

"You bathed me?"

"Yes."

"Thank you Ran."

"You're welcome."

"Was John mad at me?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. He'll be up here in a minute so you can see for yourself."

"I'm never drinking again."

"Uh-huh."

"I don't think I am Ran. I don't remember anything from last night."

"Probably for the best. Sit up." Randy said when John walked into the room

"How do you feel baby?"

"Like poop on a shoe."

"Having seen you before Randy gave you a shower I'd say that's an appropriate response." John said handing Randy his plate

"Oh my God!" Cody gasped covering his mouth and jumping out of the bed

"I think he has something against my jalapeño and cheddar omelet or he's pregnant."

"I really hope it's the omelet." Randy laughed

"You wanna bite?" John shook his head

"I already took a small piece while I was heating it up."

"I did see that missing piece and I'm happy you took it and it didn't come like that."

"Ugh." Cody groaned walking out of the bathroom. "I'm sure that thing is delicious but it looks terrible." He said climbing back in bed

"Don't look at it."

"How come you have that and I have toast and bacon?"

"Good for hangovers and would you even want to eat this?"

"Not really." Cody said nibbling on a piece of toast. "I'm sorry guys."

"For what?" John asked picking a jalapeño from Randy's plate

"I don't know. I feel like I need to apologize for being a drunken mess. I mean I couldn't even bathe myself. I didn't pee anywhere did I?" Randy and John laughed

"Not as far as we know."

"You were fairly dry by the time I got to you."

"Fairly dry?" Cody asked looking at Randy

"Well you were sweaty as all hell."

"Oh gross. I hate being sweaty."

"Hey Codes." Evan said walking into the room

"Hey Ev."

"Feel like shit?"

"Yes."

"You look better than you did. When Randy brought you in here it looked like you'd been shot or something."

"I had shots but no, I wasn't shot."

"I'm glad I had a piece of that before John brought it up here." Evan said looking at Randy's empty plate

"You had a piece too?"

"Uh-huh. John gave it to me." John smiled, dimples out in full force, when Randy looked at him snarling

"Add this to the list of reasons you dingbats need to stay out of my kitchen."

"We're dingbats because we had bites of your omelet."

"Not just that." John put a hand on his hip and Randy smiled

"You know the appearance of your teeth makes me weak."

"Oh does it?" Randy asked nonchalantly as he stood up. "Are you finished Codes?" Cody snatched a piece of bacon from the plate

"Yes."

"Are you going to stick that in your pocket for later?" He laughed

"No Ran, I'm going to eat it now."

"I can take those."

"I got it. I want to prep my dinner now so I can maybe get a nap then all I have to do is stick it in the oven later."

"I can put it in there if you want."

"Are you trying to take over my kitchen John?"

"Absolutely not."

"Are you gonna come back Ran?"

"After I get dinner all sorted out yes."

"Okay."

"Do you want me to bring you anything on my way back?" Cody shook his head

"What did you drink last night?" Evan asked

"Um, I honestly don't remember but I know I had shots and a Manhattan or two."

"Watching you practically unconscious like that was scary Codes." Cody looked at Evan

"I didn't mean to scare anyone, not you guys especially. I'm sorry Ev."

"It's okay. Just don't do it again please."

"I really don't think I had that much to drink. We were sitting all night and I felt fine but when it was time to leave," Cody shook his head. "It just hit me. I remember standing up and grabbing the table then feeling Phil put his arm around my waist. When I woke up Ran was talking to me outside."

"You don't think Phil put something in your drink do you?"

"Oh no! I don't feel drugged and I don't remember doing anything other than drinking, standing up and being home."

"Okay."

"You don't think he did do you?"

"I don't know. I sure hope not but if he did then it would be in his best interest to drop off the face of the earth because someone will kill him...and you know Randy's dying to use a piece of that scrap carpet."

"Does he really have carpet? I've heard about it but never seen it." Evan laughed

"He's crazy so I wouldn't put it past him but I have never seen it. Maybe I'll ask him about it one day."

"Be careful. We don't want you ending up in a piece." Evan laughed again. "He could put you in a little throw rug actually." The small man glared at Cody. Cody laughed. "Sorry."

...

"What are we having tonight?"

"Lasagna."

"What kind? You have thirty different types of lasagna." Randy smiled to himself

"The one with Italian sausage and ground beef." He said opening a can of tomato sauce. "I haven't made sauce in a while," Randy mumbled to himself. "I hate this canned shit." John wanted to laugh. Randy could get so flustered about things in the kitchen. "Can you go into the iPad and look in my coupon box then tell me if I have any produce coupons?"

"Why are you using coupons? Don't I give you enough money?"

"You give me more than enough money but I still like to use coupons. It's economical."

"It's economical." John repeated

"Are you making fun of me?"

"No. I love that you're economical." John said flipping through the electronic coupons. "Publix is having a sale this week on berries, peaches and plums,"

"I can make Codes a cobbler." John smiled as he kept reading

"...um, corn, eggplant, tomatoes on and off the vine and zucchini."

"Can you put the peach, corn, eggplant and tomato coupons in my basket?"

"I sure can." John blew out a breath. "Whew! That was exhausting. How do you shop?" He said taking a seat

"You have to be kidding me."

"I'm not. I would hate to have to organize that stuff then go buy it...lug it around then think of what to do with it cooking wise. No, not for me."

"I like doing it John. I make sure I have all my reusable shopping bags, my coupons and my lists then I'm ready to go." John smiled

"You sound like you have a good time."

"I just do what I need to do John. You guys are happy and full and that makes me happy."

"I don't know when it happened but you've gone all sweet on me."

"Under the hard exterior I've always been an okay guy John."

"You're more than an okay guy." Randy sighed

"Write for Hallmark why don't you?"

"Dick." Randy laughed. "Would you like help with anything?"

"Nah, I got it."

"Oh good, now I can just watch your hips shake while you mix."

"Wow...didn't Cody say the same thing?"

"Knowing him..."

...

"I thought for sure you'd be sleeping by now."

"I probably would be but I was talking to Ev."

"Where did he go?"

"To read. Where's John?"

"He said that he was going to the den to take a nap."

"How come he's not sleeping in here?"

"I don't know. He said that he was going to nap in there this morning."

"You guys were talking about naps this morning?" Randy laughed

"Yes. Neither of us slept well."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine Codes, really. No one is holding anything against you. It happens. Shit, you're still just 22 years old. I'd fucked up way more than you by the time I was that age."

"Thanks Ran."

"You're welcome. Now be quiet so I can get some shut eye."

"Shut eye sounds good." Cody said burying himself between the blankets. Randy did the same. Both men were asleep in a matter of minutes

Weeks Later

"Thanks for helping me today Ran."

"You're welcome."

"Was Evy okay with you coming to help me? He has stuff in his classroom too."

"I did help him. I'm pulling double duty today. All his decorations and shit are out in the car."

"Oh."

"Mr. Rhodes," Ashleigh said walking into the room. "Oh, hey Mr. Randy...looking pretty tan sir." Randy laughed

"I went tanning yesterday. Thanks for noticing."

"I notice everything. You should try Tan Utopia; I think they're right up your alley."

"That's where we go."

"My dad got me a tanning package there so I'd stop laying out in the sun."

"That's not good for you Ash."

"I know Mr. Randy but I'm 17."

"What does that mean?" Randy asked leaning against the window sill and crossing his arms

"Before I answer that I just want to say that you standing there like that is very scary."

"I've been told." Cody laughed

"It means that I'm still young and I should be doing things that are bad for me." Cody stopped what he was doing and looked up, waiting for Randy's wise words

"Ashleigh," Randy started. "Don't use being young as an excuse to do dumbass things. You can have fun at your age, and you should, but don't fall in with that I'm young bullshit. Get a job or something and be better than your peers. You could even volunteer or something."

"You are wise beyond your years Mr. Randy. I don't know how old you are but I'm sure you're wise for someone your age."

"I am."

"You're a not fat Buddha." Randy nodded

"Well then."

"Are you taking Spanish next year Ashleigh?"

"Yea but I wish you were teaching Spanish 4."

"I might have a class or two of Spanish 4 students. I haven't decided yet."

"You should!" The girl said excitedly. "Me and Kami can be in your class."

"That's not how it works."

"Come on Mr. Rhodes," Ashleigh said nudging him. "You can make it happen." Randy laughed as he pulled some sticky tack from the wall. Cody laughed

"If I decide to teach the class next year I'll see what I can do about having the two of you."

"But me more than her if you have to pick." She whispered

"I will try to get both of you if I do in fact teach."

"In the event you can't, can I still be an aide for you?"

"Sure as long as it's a free period."

"I'll have a free period. I only have a few classes next year."

"So you should probably get a part-time job and do work study if you have all that free time." Randy said rolling up a poster. Cody and Ashleigh looked at him. "What?"

"But I want to be an aide for Mr. Rhodes." Randy shrugged

"Do what you like kid. Where do you want this stuff Codes?"

"Those go in that Rubbermaid container." Cody said pointing. Randy looked at the containers lined up

"How come you're so organized here but not at home?"

"Because you keep me organized at home."

"Well now that I know you can be organized I can stop hanging your clothes and keeping your shoes in order."

"But Ran,"

"Nope."

"You can't do that."

"I can."

"We'll talk about this later." Ashleigh laughed

"Did you guys just fight? That was so cute."

"No because fighting with him involves a lot more yelling and profanity."

"That's not surprising." Randy eyed both Cody and Ashleigh

"Stop talking about me like I'm not standing right here." He said closing the lid on one of the containers

"What are you doing here Ashleigh? It's the last day of school and I'm quite sure you're the only student who didn't run out of the building."

"My dad is picking me up. He'll call when he's outside...and of course I had to say bye to my most favorite teacher ever in the world ever." Cody folded his arms

"All of that huh?"

"Oh yes."

"I still need time to think about teaching Spanish 4 but you can definitely be my aide next year."

"Aw yea...can you keep my pen?"

"Technically that's my pen but I'll make sure you have one."

"Good deal Mr. R." The girl said reaching in the pocket of her shorts. "Oh, it's my dad. Hello? Talking to Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Randy. He's a friend of Mr. Rhodes. He's helping him deconstruct his room. Yep. Okay. Bye. My dad's outside. I'll see you next year guys...unless I stop over for lunch or something." Cody and Ashleigh laughed

"I feel like I'm missing something there."

"Mr. Rhodes posts pictures of the lunch you make on his IG."

"And why wouldn't he?"

"I don't know. They look so delicious."

"Now that I'll be home during the day you can make us lunch during the week Ran."

"I probably will."

"Pizza." Cody whispered

"We can have a designated pizza day."

"This is going to be the best summer ever." Randy and Ashleigh laughed

"Anyway, I have to go. I'll see you guys whenever." She said hugging Cody

"Be good Ashleigh." Randy said as he hugged the girl. Ashleigh sighed

"You guys smell so good." She said leaving the room

"I think we're all done here." Cody said looking around the room. "You didn't have to peel all the sticky tack off the wall. A cleaning crew comes at the end of the week." Randy stood there. "I take it back. You did have to peel it all off."

"I did."

"Can we stop and have lunch before going home? I'll buy." Randy shook his head

"What did you just say?"

"You heard me."

"You know, just the thought of you pulling out your Ferragamo wallet really turns me on." Cody laughed

"If that turns you on just wait until you see what I pull out of it."

"Is it plastic?"

"Oh no baby, all green." Randy fanned himself

"Why Mr. Rhodes I do believe."

"Did I just give you the vapors Ran?"

"You just gave me something."

Later

Randy sat on the edge of the bed and watched the back of Cody's head as it bobbed up and down on his cock. He ran a hand down the back of the younger man's head and let it trail over his shoulders and back. Randy bit his bottom lip and listened to Cody slurp and hum

"Codes," He said with a quiver in his voice. Cody sucked harder. "Damn Cody...shit." Cody took Randy all the way down his throat swallowing as he did. He licked back up to the tip and tongued the slit at the top. Randy pulled him from the floor and kissed him hard then tossed him roughly on the bed. "Prep?" Cody shook his head

"Nope, just lube will be fine." He said tugging on his cock as his legs parted. Randy reached into the night table and pulled out Cody's new tube of pineapple mango lube. Randy drizzled it between the man's cheeks and slipped two fingers inside. He fingered Cody for a short while before adding lube to his cock and sliding in. "Fuck me hard Ran."

"I have no problem with that." Randy said leaning down to kiss Cody as he moved his hips. Cody grunted and whimpered as Randy immediately found his spot and nailed it repeatedly. "Oh God!" He yelled breaking the kiss. Randy slowed his movements as the grip Cody had on his upper arm tightened. "Don't, don't," Cody tried to swallow but his mouth was dry. "Don't stop Ran." Randy pulled out until just the very tip of his member was inside Cody before plunging back in. He repeated the action over and over as he fisted Cody's manhood in his hand. Randy went back to regular thrusts the more the other man moaned

"Codes, cum for me baby." Cody bit his bottom lip trying to stave off his orgasm but to no avail. Randy pounded him and jerked Cody's dick until the man's eyes squeezed shut and he let out a string of obscenities and other dirty things Randy had never expected Cody to say. The words turned him on

"Oh shit...ah, fuck!" Randy yelled as he climaxed. Both men exhaled loudly

"I think that's just what I needed to top off my afternoon."

"Good way to start your summer break?"

"Great way to start my summer break." Cody leaned over and kissed Randy

"Love you Ran."

"Love you too. Shower or do you need more time to rest?"

"I'm ready to shower on one condition."

"Which is what?"

"We go for Round Two in the shower." Randy smirked

...

"I wonder where Evy is." Cody said grabbing a pickle chip and popping it into his mouth. Randy checked the time

"I don't know. When I left him he said that he was going out with a group of teachers for a while but I didn't think that it would be this long." Randy shrugged. "As long as he's alright then no harm, no foul." Cody sucked on another chip as before sticking it in his mouth

"I guess I'm just not used to him not being here."

"Hey guys." John said walking into the kitchen. Cody pursed his lips making John smile and kiss him. "You taste like pickles."

"Ran made sliders for a snack and I'm eating the rest of the pickles."

"Ah."

"John," Randy said folding his arms over his chest

"Yes babe?"

"Where's my kiss?" John smiled sweetly

"Right here." He said placing a hand on either side of Randy's face and laying one on him

"Oh my."

"Where's Evan?"

"Did you want to kiss him too?" Cody asked

"Um, no. I just wanted to tell everyone about our trip."

"He said that he was going out with people from school as I was leaving his classroom."

"You haven't heard from him since?"

"No." Randy's phone rang and he picked it up. "He's calling me now. Hello? What? Calm down I can't understand you. Evan." Randy said sternly. "Hello? Who's this? Paramedic Dan?" John and Cody looked at each other then stared intently at Randy. "Is he alright? Where is he?" It was like Randy's mouth couldn't move fast enough to get out all the questions he wanted to ask. "Okay. No, no I'll be there in two minutes." Randy said hanging up in the man's ear

"What's going on?"

"Ev was in an accident at the intersection up the road." Randy said rushing out of the kitchen. Cody gasped and covered his mouth. "I have to go." Randy said after running upstairs and grabbing a pair of sneakers

"We're right behind you." John said. Randy was already out of the house and in his car. He backed out of the garage and sped to the gates making a left once they opened. As he pulled up on the scene he was horrified by all the flashing lights and debris strewn across the road. Pulling off to the side, he parked his car and walked up

"Excuse me," An officer said putting a hand up. "You can't be here." Randy took a calming breath

"I know him. He just called me."

"The driver of which car?"

"The black one." The cop put his hand down and pointed

"He's in the ambulance over there." Randy jogged to the parked ambulance with its back doors open and looked inside. Evan was lying on a stretcher covered by a blanket

"What happened?" He asked stepping inside. Evan shook his head and Randy watched as his lips shook

"I, I had a green light – when I made the turn," Randy squeezed his hand reassuringly. "The other guy ran a red light and hit my car on the passenger side." Evan grimaced. "My leg's broken." Randy frowned and lifted the sheet

"How did your leg break?"

"...my car spun across the street and hit that pole...it was stuck on the pole Randy. I could be dead." He uttered

"Don't talk like that. You're here right now and that's what matters."

"My car." Randy shook his head

"It's just a car. Don't worry about it right now okay?" Evan gave a single nod of his head

"Guys?" They both looked over hearing John's voice

"Oh my gosh Evy." Cody said climbing inside

"I'll be back okay?" Randy switched places with Cody

"How is he?"

"Broken leg and very shaken up."

"I can imagine. Did you see that car?"

"No." John pulled Randy to the side and pointed to where Evan's car was resting. "Holy shit."

"Yea. He's lucky Randy."

"I see that."

"What happened?"

"Some guy ran a red light, hit him then his car careened across the road and into the pole. He said it was stuck on the pole."

"I'll call my lawyer." Randy laughed in spite of himself. John looked at him. "He has insurance but he should be compensated for the wanton actions of that jackass." Randy held a hand up

"I'm not saying you're wrong, just a little quick." John shrugged

"I keep them on retainer so I like to use them when I can."

"I'll have to get him a new car."

"I have a guy for that too." Randy laughed again

"Then I'll need his card but not for a while since Ev won't be driving anywhere with that leg."

"Ran?" Cody called walking up

"Yea?"

"They're about to take Ev to the hospital and he wants to see you." Randy went back to the ambulance

"Yes?"

"Are you coming to the hospital?"

"Yes, of course."

"Okay. Can you go back to the house and get my glasses first?"

"I grabbed them on the way out." Evan smiled and it made Randy smile

"Of course you did."

"We have to get going guys." Randy kissed his forehead gently

"I'll see you there, okay?"

"Okay."

"I love you."

"I know." Evan said smiling again. "I love you too."
