As soon as Cody heard the door open his heart began to race. He wasn't sure why though and it drove him crazy. He knew it was Zack that had come home. He could hear every sound he was making in the kitchen. He heard Zack place his backpack down by the front door and then head into the kitchen. He then continued to hear Zack as he clanked dishes around. He thought he heard Zack make something but he wasn't sure. Shortly after he heard footsteps closing in quietly on his door. As soon as the door opened Cody shut his eyes pretending to be asleep. He heard Zack enter the room and whisper
"Cody? Buddy? Are you awake?" When Cody didn't answer Zack quietly entered the room and set something down on Cody's nightstand before just as quietly departing. As soon as the door shut Cody lifted his head out of bed and looked over. He saw a cup with steam slowly rising sitting there on his nightstand. He reached over and grabbed it. He smelt it and instantly realized what it was. Zack had made him tea, and not just any tea his favorite kind. As he sat there quietly drinking he realized something, they didn't have this yea earlier or his mom would have made it. As soon as he realized that he realized something else that made his heart skip a beat and his eye well up with tears. Zack had gone out of his way to buy this for Cody. He sat there shocked his mind racing.
"Why did my heart just skip a beat. Does Zack really love me this much. Do I...do I love Zack back. Do I really love Zack. I need to think this through. I love how he takes care of me and babies me. I also like how he goes out of his way to be nice to me. Oh my god I think I have a crush on Zack." As these thoughts raced through his head Zack opened the door up once more. As soon as he saw Cody he smiled and said sweetly
"Hey buddy how are you feeling. I made you some food... I mean that is... If you want it. It's nothing special just chicken soup from a can but I thought it might make you feel better"
Cody got up without a word and followed his brother to the kitchen his mind still racing. He barley looked up at his brother as hundreds of different thoughts swirled around in his head none more so then
"Do I like Zack. Do I like Zack. Do I like Zack. I like Zack. Do I like Zack "
He tried to calm himself as they neared the dinner table. As Cody passed by the stove he gave a small laugh at the complete mess Zack had made while making a simple canned soup. He loved that no matter how simple the task Zack always made a mess and always had that goofy smile on his face while doing it. They continued to the table in silence and began eating. Cody stared down at his food eating slowly his heart was racing having Zack sitting so close to him. Zack stared at Cody lovingly he still had a hurt look on his face even though he tried to hide it. Cody could tell Zack was nervous and the nervousness made Cody feel uneasy. Finally Zack spoke up
"Hey Codes can I...we...talk about what you said this morning. I think if you let me talk and we talk it out some" he was cut short by Cody grabbing his hand.
"Zack I need you to come with me" Cody said meekly. He stood up and started to pull Zack over to the bedroom. Zack was confused by complied without hesitation. As they entered the room Cody pushed Zack down onto his bed.
"Zack I need to do something. Please...please don't say anything yet until I'm done" Cody all but begged. The look in his eye was one of complete seriousness.
