Alejandro knew he was very lucky tonight.
In a weird twisted way if Sierra did not blow up the plane, he would have been voted off almost immediately by Heather, Cody, and Sierra.
Of course, the cast needed to sleep somewhere so they ended up renting an apartment with some of the show's budget. Alejandro supposed Chris wasn't the complete heartless monster he imagined him as.
Nah, he still sucked.
However, he had some damage control to do. It was now the final three and Alejandro was sure that Cody and Heather would likely team up against him, especially if the geek already knew about the photo.
Luckily for him, he and Cody got the shared apartment while Heather was sleeping by herself. This felt like Easter Island all over again.
Well, they were alone in the room, he might as well try.
"So Cody, I was thinking." Alejandro began with one of his trademark smirks.
"Drop it Alejandro, I know about the photo." Cody rolled his eyes.
Well that's not a good start.
"It was simply for the game Cody. Trust me, I didn't mean to cause you harm." Alejandro explained calmly.
"Yet the same can't be said for Sierra and Heather, now can it?" Cody replied with an eye roll.
"Oh please. It's not like those two are saints. You are aware of Heather's actions in season one and no one can even count the number of times Sierra throws herself all over you." Alejandro scoffed.
"Well maybe those two aren't exactly the most pure beings on the planet but I still care about what happens to them. You used me to get them hurt." Cody glared angrily at the Spaniard, and for a moment Alejandro felt a little sorry for Cody. Despite using him on a daily basis, he was certainly more fond of Cody than the rest of this cast. When he didn't have to deal with his insufferable teammates, he would mostly speak with him, why else would he hide him from Sierra?
Alejandro shook off the sympathy and started to think, what else could he do to gain Cody's loyalty? He was unsure what to do, the first thing that came to mind was flirtation. He's utilized that before and he can definitely use it now. Alejandro wasn't sure if Cody was straight or not but then he remembered the times in Jamaica where Cody would stare at both him and Tyler in their swimsuits.
Yeah, Cody was definitely bisexual. Now to do some dirty work.
"I understand your plight with me amigo, but I do have to ask you something." Alejandro informed Cody who raised an eyebrow, which meant he had the geek's attention.
"Have you ever come to terms with your sexuality?" Alejandro inquired as he leaned next to Cody on the bed, even though he pretty much knew the answer, it would be much more fun to drag this out. It was also adorable to see Cody start blushing.
Wait, what?
"Well… I definitely know I'm into girls. You've seen me try to woo Gwen before after all." Cody chuckled sheepishly but the blush still remained. Good, Alejandro can use this.
"Oh really? I was just wondering, after all, you did seem to sneak some glances at Tyler when he wasn't looking." Alejandro continued.
"Well… I might- I mean I'm just envious of him is all. He's so hot- well you know, in a statistical sense with all that muscle." Cody explained in a foolish attempt at lying and Alejandro could practically taste it.
"Oh really? Because I caught you staring at me as well and your eyes didn't have a sense of envy." Alejandro smirked much to Cody's horror, caught him.
"Well… why should I have to explain to you about… you don't know what you saw." Cody tried to feebly cover up what was so obvious.
"Really? What I saw in you was passion, amazement, and awe. Not the slightest bit of jealousy in those teal orbs of yours'." Alejandro further pressed on, keeping the same smirk on his face.
"I-I…" Cody couldn't say anything, what could he say? Especially when the hottest man in the entire show metaphorically backed him into a corner.
"Let it out." Alejandro ordered briefly.
That's when Cody broke.
"Okay fine! I'm bisexual alright! I find girls as hot as any average guy would but I also really like dudes! Only Noah knows about this and you're pretty much the hottest guy in the entire show! There! I admit it!" Cody cried out, confessions bursting out of him.
After that, Alejandro clapped slowly, clearly amused by what he had been able to accomplish. It was all too easy.
"Bravo Cody. Was that so hard?" Alejandro smirked pridefully.
Cody then turned to glare at him, furious but yet he was blushing, "You practically just toyed with me and you're asking me if it was hard for me?! Of course it was! What did you do that for?! For some sick pleasure?"
Alejandro kept his smirk, any remorse he might have had was shoved down, "I felt it was best for you to let it out of your chest amigo. There's no need to be ashamed, for I am also bi."
"R-Really?" Cody felt the heat rise to his face.
"Mmhmm, and for some reason I cannot seem to get you off my mind." Alejandro spoke, technically not lying to Cody, in some weird way Cody was the most attractive male on the plane even if his competition consisted of Duncan and Tyler, there were more flaws to those two. Duncan was literally a criminal and Tyler was so dumb he matched his girlfriend in IQ points. Cody definitely had that boyish charm that made him more fun.
I-I see." Cody gulped.
"And given both of our feelings are mutual, it would be right to experiment with them, wouldn't it?" Alejandro smirked hungrily at the geek.
"Wh-What are you talking about?! How do I know you aren't just toying with me the same way you manipulated Heather and Sierra?!" Cody found some of his resolve return to him.
Alejandro expected this, so naturally he had to go the emotional route.
"Cody, in the time we spent together, have I ever hurt you directly? Unlike Gwen, I've usually been straight with you." Alejandro reminded him.
Cody felt himself melting when Alejandro gripped his shoulders and leaned in, he did have a point. Gwen never really acknowledged Cody unless she needed him, and while he did value her, did she even value him?
Yet Alejandro was right here, giving him the affection he craved, not the crazy kind but the kind where he actually felt wanted.
Soon Cody found himself kissing Alejandro, feeling himself fall to bliss.
However, when Cody woke up that morning, shirtless and under the covers, he found no trace of Alejandro. He remembered the night well, the two were kissing, Alejandro used tongue, and then shirts came flying off.
To put it bluntly, they had sex.
Cody was feeling heartbreak crawl at him, he wanted Alejandro to be there next to him, to tell him that what happened between them genuinely mattered.
But he wasn't there, and even after he got dressed and they were getting ready to film the next episode did Alejandro even acknowledge him, all he did was send awkward glances down his way.
Heather asked about the mark on his neck, no doubt it was a hickey that Alejandro gave him, all Cody told Heather was that it came from dodging the plane explosion. She didn't need to know, Heather had confusing feelings for Alejandro after all, she didn't need to hear that he had sex with someone like him.
In the final three challenge, he and Alejandro didn't get a chance to interact, he was busy with Heather and he was taking a flight with Sierra, back to the same duos as usual he supposed, even if Sierra was learning to back off by now.
They did share blows in the Hawaiian tiebreaker challenge, and he tried furiously to defeat Alejandro in it, distracting himself from how hot he looked in the coconut bra, Alejandro still used him and he had to pay.
Even as Alejandro defeated him in the tiebreaker round, he didn't show any semblance of care for what he did and to Cody's absolute shock, he then confessed at the top of the volcano in the final challenge that Heather had stolen his heart.
Cody felt betrayed, nothing they shared meant anything apparently, all Alejandro cared about was getting satisfaction and that's all Cody was to him.
He would not deny that he got some satisfaction seeing Heather kick Alejandro's kiwis and slap him off the volcano and win that million. Cody was really happy for Heather when she won and heck, the two get along quite well nowadays but he still couldn't deny the amount of hurt he felt from Alejandro's betrayal.
One thing that was certain was that Cody's first time would always be special to him, even if he now held unbridled fury for Alejandro. He never heard what happened to the smug prick after World Tour and Cody could care less. He had to, Alejandro didn't care about him so Cody had to do the same.
Right…
Author's Note: Oh my oh my. Things are getting juicy. So yep, quite the bombshell, Cody and Alejandro had sex before the final three began and now a flurry of emotions is in Cody's heart. This was merely an appetizer for the prologue my friends, we'll see how this continues when we get to All Stars.
