* CODY | THIRD PERSON 🥀 *

Two weeks have only passed, yet nothing has changed.  Noah constantly ignoring Cody, always having to leave, and never even acknowledging the poor boy.

He felt like shit. He could barely breathe when Noah would ignore him, he could barely even stand still.  His palms got sweaty, his head began to spin, and he felt so terrified.

Had Noah's words meant nothing? Had Noah lied to Cody? No.. He said he'd never lie to him.

But what if he was lying? What if that was his plan?

To manipulate and trick Cody into believing every word he'd say... To convince him that he-

" Cody, I'm sorry that I've been busy. You.. Aren't upset, correct? I'll make it up to you soon enough. I promise. " Noah placed a hand on Cody's shoulder, looking down at the shorter.

" No... No, it's okay. I don't mind it. You shouldn't worry about me, if you have other important things you're doing.. " Cody whispered, trying not to shake.

" Cody, I know you better than you think, you can't lie to me. Okay? I know you aren't entirely okay. "

" Dammit... I'm sorry, I just.. "

" Shh, it's okay. I don't mind it. I just want you to be honest with me. I know I, myself, haven't been all too honest with you though, and I'll make it up to you soon. "

Noah's words felt bittersweet to Cody. The things he'd say to make him feel better were sweet, but they felt.. strange to Cody. As if there were a hidden meaning behind it..

He's probably looking for an excuse to blame Noah for shit.

" It's alright, I'll try to be a bit more open about my feelings. " Cody smiled somewhat, looking at Noah.

" Cody, do you want me to be honest with you as well? "

" . . Well, yea.. I'd appreciate it ... "

Noah, grabbed Cody's hand, lightly dragging him to his room.

" This may get awkward at first, but I'll be honest with you. " Noah mumbled, opening the bedroom door.

Cody blinked a few times, a little confused. It was .. dim in the room, he could barely make out anything in there.

Noah walked in, carefully dragging Cody with him.

" You won't be upset with me, right? " Noah asked, holding Cody's hand tightly.

" What? Why would I be ups- "

" Cody you almost had a mental breakdown just because I was ignoring you. Just promise me you won't get upset. Kay? " Noah lightly rubbed his thumb over Cody's cheek.

" Fine .. Fine. "

Noah sat Cody on the bed, then he walked over to a light switch, turning the lights on in the room.

Cody tensed up at what he saw.

There were lots of photos of Cody on the wall, things of his that he lost months ago, and even photos of the people he hung out with.

" Noah...... What is this...? "

" Cody, I've said I know you more than you'd know. I wasn't kidding.. I love you, I have always loved you. I hurt myself thinking about you, I touch myself, I do everything thinking about you. I can't get you off my mind, I feel insane without you. I can't stand it anymore. Please, for the love of god, just fucking love me back. I can't live another minute without you. "
