Here's some nice, fluffy Codiase, because I love them together. Happy Holidays, everyone!

WARNING: Slash. It's kind of angsty in the beginning, but trust me, it's fluff. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own WWE, unfortunately. If only...

When I saw you in her arms, I felt my heart break in two.

You're supposed to be with me, Ted, don't you realize that?

That's why I hid behind the mask... Because you don't love me...

And if you don't love me, then I must be a freak.

I'll never be good enough for you, I get that now.

I went up to you and I asked you who you wanted more: me or Maryse?

Lust or love?

You didn't say anything.

I walked out on you; your silence was the answer.

I miss you so much... But I know you want her more.

And it kills me inside.

.~.-.~.-.~.-.~.

As I walk into my hotel room, these bitter thoughts intruding my jumbled mind, I see something on my bed... It's a box wrapped in sparkling green paper, covered with red-and-white candy canes for a design. I walk over to it, not bothering to close or lock the door. Nobody visits me anymore anyway- everybody thinks I'm either annoying or insane (or both, in Randy's case).

"For you, Cody Rhodes" is written on it in black sharpie. I sigh, tearing apart the wrapping paper and fully expecting a joke gift. Maybe someone was giving me another mask? No, the box was too small for that. Maybe it was a piece of garbage?

I open it, and there's a gold wristband inside, kind of like an expensive friendship bracelet. I pick it up and examine it, confused and afraid... There's an inscription:

I choose you, Cody.

I look up and I see Ted in the doorway, smirking at me. "You shouldn't have run away before I answered," he says.

I put on the band, running over and throwing my arms around him, sobbing my eyes out. My heart feels like it's about to burst. "I love you, Ted..." I say.

He kisses my cheek and murmurs, "Merry Christmas, Cody."

Maybe it's a weird present to give another man, but Ted is rich, he can do whatever he wants. XD Review, please!
