As soon as Zack left Cody let go of Dustin, relieved that it was over.

"So Dus what was that back there" Cody said smugly.

"I don't know. I just kind of freaked when he kissed you. Like I said don't want to share you that much." Dustin said with a smirk.

"And what was that about us visiting my house" Cody asked.

"Well...I kinda thought it would be kinda nice to meet your mom and introduce myself. I am your boyfriend after all" Dustin said sweetly.

"I'm fine with that but what do we tell her. That her son is gay and has been living alone for the past few days with his boyfriend" Cody laughed "if we say that our fun sleep over is probably going to end"

"Well I want to introduce myself as your boyfriend" Dustin pouted.

"Fine but I might not to be able to stay over after that"

"Well even so, we can still spend time together and do other activities" Dustin said with a wink pushing Cody into the couch "we. an go visit your mom later"

"I like this idea" Cody said kissing Dustin and taking off his shirt.

Cody and Dustin pulled up in front of the Tipton.

"Are you sure you want to do this Dustin. Truthfully I'm nervous as hell to tell her I'm gay and I'm pretty sure she will figure out were fucking. What if she doesn't like the fact that I'm gay or that my boyfriend is only twelve. What if she kicks me out" Cody said with fear in his voice. He wasn't nervous wet first but grew more so by the second.

"Well if that happens you can live with me and I'll be here if anything goes wrong I will be right here by your side." Cody took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. They headed up stairs to his hotel room and he opened the door

"Mom! I'm home and I brought a friend!" He shouted. His mom came out of the kitchen and gave him a hug.

"Welcome home sweetie. Your just in time...I made dinner" she said giving him a hug. Cody made a face really quick and leaned back to Dustin

"Umm don't eat that" he whispered. "That's great mom do you want me to take a look at it" he said hesitantly. She gave him a cocky look then sighed

"Yes" she said disappointed in her own cooking prowess. All of a sudden they heard a voice

"Wait Cody...you can cook?" Dustin said wanting to be remembered by his boyfriend.

"Oh yea sorry Dustin. Mom this is Dustin, Dustin this is my mother" Cody said stepping aside to introduce him.

"Hi it's nice to meet you " Dustin said extending his hand.

"Same to you Dustin. Do you want to stay for dinner?" She offered.

"I'd love to. Thanks for the offer" he said with a smile. Suddenly Zack came out of the room and ran over to Cody giving him a hug and a tight one at that making sure to stare at Dustin when he did it. Dustin glared back with a look that said get off.

"Welcome home buddy. How are you doing." He said.

"Good Zack, how bout you" Cody said awkwardly.

"I'm better now that your home." He replied with an all to happy smile. The two boys walked in. Cody told Dustin to sit on the couch while he fixed dinner so they didn't all get food poisoning. As he did that Dustin and his mom sat on the couch and talked.

"So Dustin, you don't seem like a friend from school" Carey said.

"No not at all . I actually met Cody at the mall and we just hit it off really well"

"Oh that's good. I assume he's been at your house then"

"Yes he has been. He's been nice enough to help me out. My school work hasn't been all the great so he's been tutoring me late into the night" Dustin replied. Cody gave a small chuckle at the stove that went unheard to his mother.

"Ah so I assume your more like Zack when it comes school then" Carey replied.

"No not at all. Truth be told my dad isn't around much so my motivation to go to school when he's working isn't all to great, however with Cody staying over he's been forcing me to go and working me hard late into the night" Dustin said with a coy smile in Zacks direction. Almost to taunt him with the hidden meaning.

"Ah it sounds like Cody has been a great help to you then" Carey replied happily.

"Yes he's helped me out in many ways. However I didn't know he could cook. If he had told me we wouldn't have had to have take out so much" he laughed taking a shot at Cody who walked over to the couch.

"Well if I had been cooking we would of had less time to study Dustin" Cody shot back "now come on you guys I think I've salvaged the dinner"

"Thanks Cody" his mom said with a mix of sarcasm and gratitude. They all walked over to the table and started to eat making small talk as they did so. Comments about Cody's cooking from Dustin made him blush slightly. Zack acted somewhat grouchy and refused to let Cody and Dustin sit next to each other claiming he missed Cody.

As soon as dinner was finished Cody got a serious look on his face

"Hey mom. I have something i need to talk to you about" Cody said his voice almost cracking.

"What is it sweetie" his mom said surprised by the sudden change in atmosphere.

"Umm I was wondering if we could talk without Zack in the room. It's really important and I'd feel better if he waited in our room or something" Cody said.

"Umm sure. Zack can you go to your room for a minute while we talk" she told him

"Awe but I wanna here what it is he has to say" Zack whined. Carey glared at him and not wanting to risk anything he trampled off to his room. Cody took a deep breath and looked his mom in the eye

"Mom I have something important to say and it might be a little difficult to hear but I need you to listen" he said sternly.

"Sure you can tell me anything Cody. You know that" she replied. Cody hesitated until he felt Dustin's hand grab his under the table. Dustin could feel his heart racing and knew he was scared and was trying to be brave for him.

"Do you want me to tell her" he whispered.

"No no I have to" he replied. "Mom I'm just going to say it...mom I'm...I'm gay and well...Dustin isn't exactly my friend...we're kind of well dating" he said with a meek tone in his voice.

Carey just stared at them without a word.
