[TD NoCo] Not So Hidden Desires

[6] What it would be like

Later that night, Cody found an extra blanket and put it on the floor next to his bed.

"I feel guilty sleeping in your bed..." Noah mumbled.

"Why?" Cody laughed a bit. "I only got this bed last year. I used to sleep on the floor just like this! I'm used to it." He assured him.

"Hm... okay." Noah said, looking down.

"Did you bring anything from your house?" Cody asked.

"No... I just managed to get my diary back from my parents, before they basically threw me out." He said bitterly.

"You can use my clothes. Um... they may not be the cleanest... but... Well, we have water this week so I can wash as many as I can if that makes you more comfortable." Cody told him.

"I can help clean them. It'll make me feel less guilty." Noah said.

"Sure! When my dad leaves, we can start it up. We can also shower and brush our teeth and if he's not back yet, we can make something to eat." Cody said excitedly.

Noah thought it was a bit weird for Cody to be so excited about such normal things, but didn't question it. "Sounds good."

"Let's play something while we wait!" Cody went to turn on his console.

...

After a few hours of gaming, they heard the front door shut.

Cody went to his window and watched his dad get into his car and leave.

"Finally... I thought he'd never leave! Let's go do the laundry!" Cody said as he grabbed a pile of his clothes.

Noah grabbed another pile and followed Cody downstairs.

They shoved as many as they could into the washing mashine.

Cody grabbed the detergent and looked around for the cup.

"Damn it... I have to get another one." Cody mumbled. "Give me a sec." He skipped away for a few seconds and came back with a cup from the kitchen. "This cup is bigger than the other one so I'll probably just do half of it."

"Isn't that too much ?" Noah wondered.

"Actually, I don't think it's enough." Cody said, trying to add more.

"No, no... it'll come out all soapy if you add that much!" Noah grabbed the cup from Cody and dumped some of it back in the box.

"This'll barely clean anything!" Cody tried grabbing the cup back, but Noah pulled on it.

The two tugged for a bit and ended up letting go at the same time so the cup flew away and the detergent fell on the two of them.

The two coughed and tried brushing some off their face.

Then they opened their eyes and realized what had happened.

They were both covered in cleaning detergent and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You look ridiculous." Cody said to Noah.

"Take a good look at yourself." Noah said back.

"Ahh! But my eyes are burning!!" Cody realized.

Noah laughed at him. "We better wash it off before we die."

Cody laughed too and they both ran to the bathroom to wash their faces.

....

After they had finally compromised what amount of detergent they needed, they took turns showering and then brushed their teeth together.

They were now in the kitchen, looking for something to eat.

Well, Cody was looking around while Noah was looking at the clothes he was wearing.

"Let's see... there's some left over pizza... we can make mac n cheese... Oh, I think we can make baloney sandwiches..." Cody started naming things but after not hearing Noah's voice after a while, he turned around to see him.

"Is the shirt too big...? I always bought on the bigger side just in case I grew before I could buy more..."

"Oh, no, uh... it's fine... I just..." Noah started awkwardly. "Nothing. What are we eating?"

"Do you want pizza, mac n cheese, or baloney sandwiches?"

"Um... pizza? I guess..."

"Cool!" Cody grabbed the pizza box and put a few slices in a plate and put it in the microwave.

Noah was looking around awkwardly. The place was messy.

While waiting for the food, Cody tidied up whatever he could.

Eventually, the microwave went off and the kitchen looked less messy.

"We got so much done..." Cody said happily.

Noah smiled a bit.

"Do you want to watch a movie ?" Cody asked.

"Yeah. We didn't really... watch it earlier." Noah said.

"Oh, yeah!" Cody remembered, giggling.

.....

The two sat on the floor, backs leaning against the bed and cuddling under the extra blanket while they ate the pizza and watched the movie.

Cody was watching and enjoying the movie until it suddenly hit him. He was having a movie night date with Noah. It was literally the whole shebang.

They were even cuddling under a blanket.

Not to mention they literally fucked a few hours ago.

He turned slowly to look at Noah.

Is this what dating him would be like? Would they make love and then cuddle just like this?

While staring at him, Noah felt his stare and turned to look at him. Cody got shy and quickly turned away.

Eventually the movie ends and the two decide it's time for bed.

Noah gets on Cody's bed and Cody makes himself comfortable on the blanket.

They're both too awkward to say anything so they both just close their eyes and try to sleep.

After a few minutes, Cody's already rolling around. He couldn't sleep.

He couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Noah was in his room.

He turned to glance at him, but Noah was facing the other way, seemingly already asleep.

Cody let out a sigh and looked around.

After a few minutes he noticed his and Noah's bags by the bed.

Noah's bag was already open and among the textbooks and notebooks, Cody could see the diary.

He glanced back at Noah. He seemed sound asleep.

Cody couldn't help his sneaky self.

He slowly went to the bag, glancing at Noah to be safe, and quietly pulled the diary out.

One last glance at Noah, and he went back to his makeshift bed to read it.

He was so excited to find out what Noah's secrets could be...

He slowly opened the first page.
