Two Months Later

Randy was sitting in his apartment sipping the Dom Perignon that John had sent to him. Since they had shared a bottle John kept him in supply with the expensive drink. He had been feeling down and thought that a sip of the bubbly would make him happy or lift his spirits. Randy was definitely feeling off as of late and wasn't able to shake it. He knew that it very much had to do with the relationship or lack thereof with John. After the New Year's Day he spent in John's apartment the two had grown closer but not exactly as close as Randy had hoped. They were undefined. John talked to him, touched him, and treated him as if he was his boyfriend but there was one thing missing, okay two things were missing. Them actually calling each other boyfriend and sex. No matter what position they were in – John's bed, Randy's bed, a couch or the shower – John just wouldn't take that next step. It made Randy doubt himself to the point that he attempted to learn how to cook so that he could eat healthier and spent extras hours in the gym. His clothes were always neat and clean and every two weeks his hair was shaped up. None of it went unnoticed by John of course but it went unrewarded. Randy needed sex and he wanted it from John

"Come in!" He called when he heard a knock at his door. John walked in carrying bags of groceries

"You should check the door to see who it is before just yelling come in."

"I knew it was you." Randy said taking a bag from John and John kissed him. "I heard you grunting at the door." The other man laughed

"I did no such thing." He said unbuttoning his dress shirt

"Right...then I must be hearing things."

"Seems plausible."

"Want a glass?" Randy asked holding up the bottle of champagne

"Damn, you opened that already?"

"This is a different bottle."

"Ah, okay. Sure I'll have a glass."

"What are we making tonight?" Randy asked pouring a drink for John. For almost a month John would come over and show Randy different meals to make for himself so he could stop eating out and start eating better

"Mexican chicken." John said. "I'm going to change out of these pants. Can you chop this garlic for me?"

"Mmhm." John took a quick sip of his drink and went back to Randy's bedroom where he had extra clothes. He changed and went back to the kitchen

"Okay. This is really simple...are you following me?"

"Yes."

"You are not. You're just staring at my mouth." John said laughing. "Come here." Randy stepped closer allowing John to kiss him

"I think I'll be able to hear you better now."

"That's what I thought." John sprayed a skillet with cooking spray and while it heated he rinsed the chicken breast. "After that's rinsed off you rub the garlic, cumin, salt and pepper onto your chicken." Randy did as John said to the two chicken breasts he had. "Now once that's done just place them in your hot skillet until they're no longer pink inside." John wiped his hands and turned the oven on. "When that's done you put them in your greased baking dish along with salsa and cheese."

"That's easy."

"I'm showing you the easy stuff now. I think we're going to do vegetable lasagna next."

"Not tonight right?"

"No not tonight." John said laughing. "How much food do you plan on eating?"

"I thought that since I was catching on so quickly you started to get overly ambitious."

"I wouldn't do that to you. Do you want brown or yellow rice?"

"Brown." Together the men finished preparing dinner then sat at the table to eat

"What's going on Randy?"

"What do you mean?"

"You seem different."

"I have a lot on my mind."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Randy shook his head

"But thanks for asking."

"Is there anything I can do without you having to really talk about it?" You could be decisive Randy thought

"No."

"Okay." John said still looking at the man. "How do you like the chicken?"

"It's good but now I want a taco."

"Oh geez." John groaned

After eating and cleaning up dinner dishes, Randy and John took a walk to the park located near Randy's apartment

"Where are you going?"

"To the jungle gym."

"You're going to climb up that jungle gym?"

"Yes." Randy answered simply. John silently followed the man to the top of the playground equipment and sat with him in the castle at the top of the double slide

"I take it you've been here a few times." Randy laughed as he settled between John's legs

"What gave me away?"

"The RO and JC carved initials over here."

"What?!" Randy yelped turning his head

"I'm joking. The giveaway was how perfectly timed our arrival was with the sunset."

"I may or may not come here once a week."

"Mm. It's beautiful but you are aware of that balcony attached to your apartment right?" Randy laughed

"Don't make fun of me...and how do you think I found this place?"

"I don't know. How did you find this place?" John asked holding Randy tight to his body

"From my balcony. I was out there one evening and in the distance I saw the top of this castle thing. After extensive detective work I eventually found this."

"Detective work? You mean walking across a parking lot and a field?"

"You just have a knack for ruining my moments of glory." John started laughing

"I'm sorry."

"John?"

"Yes?" Randy toyed around with John's fingers before linking their finger together

"How come you won't have sex with me?"

"What?"

"I mean like, we've been sort of seeing each other and everything and I just thought that maybe by now we would have or at least done other things."

"Is that why you want to hang out with me? Hoping that we'll have sex?"

"No and don't make it seem so insignificant or like I only want you around for sex or something. I can get sex anywhere. I'm hanging out with you because I like to but I'm also very attracted to you and I can't help what my body feels."

"Was this a ploy to get me out here so we could do it in a castle?"

"No." John cleared his throat

"I like hanging out with you too...I like everything we do together and the time that we spend with each other. I'm glad to have met you and although things started out shitty between us they changed and for that I'm grateful."

"That was really nice and now I feel like shit for even bringing it up."

"It's nothing to feel like shit about."

"But we're still not having sex?" John sighed

"No."

"Are you a virgin John?"

"I'm not a virgin. That ship sailed a long time ago." John felt Randy sigh and loosen the grip of his fingers. "One day at a time okay?"

"One day at a time."

Days Later

"What's going on with you and Randy?" Cody asked sipping his sweet tea

"What do you mean?"

"Wade told me some things and I'm just curious that's all."

"This conversation isn't going to work if you don't give me more words to work with."

"Randy was over the yesterday and he didn't look like himself so I asked if he was okay and he told me yes. Well after he left I asked Wade what was up with him and he told me that Randy said you guys weren't on the same page or something like that."

"We're not on the same page?"

"Are you going to make me spell this out for you?"

"You're going to have to because I don't know what you're talking about."

"The S.E.X. John...or lack-there-of."

"Oh...that. He wants to have sex and I'm not having sex with him."

"Why?!" John leaned back in his chair. "I'm sorry but why?"

"I have my reasons...well a particular reason."

"Which is and it better be good because I don't know why you wouldn't have by now. Aren't you attracted to him?"

"I'm very attracted to him."

"But you guys haven't even you know, orally pleasured each other."

"Oh my God. I can't believe we're talking about this."

"I can't either. Why don't you give him a little somethin' somethin'?"

"Shouldn't I be commended for not jumping all over him? I swear I have never been forced into anything as much as you've tried to force me into a relationship with Randy and Randy's tried to force my dick into him." Cody gasped

"Watch your mouth in this house John."

"It's the truth."

"Be that as it may,"

"I only want what's best for you and I think he's it. That's all."

"I won't deny that he's a good fit in my life and I like everything about him but I'd like to take my time and I should be able to without being harassed."

"Okay now you're just being dramatic. No one is harassing you."

"I'm just expressing my feelings on the matter since you brought it up."

"Alright fine but I think you should just do it before you drive him away."

"If he wants to go away for lack of sex,"

"Non-existent sex."

"Lack of sex then he's with me for the wrong reason. What if I was a virgin?"

"Let's not get into hypothetical situations. You're not a virgin so let us live in the now."

"I'm not talking about this anymore." Cody crossed one leg over the other and his arms across his chest

"That is just fine with me. You're still coming over for brunch tomorrow right?"

"Oh absolutely."

"I'm glad we could remain friends after this tense conversation."

"We're always going to be friends Rhodes-hyphen-Barrett whether you like it or not." Cody laughed

"Not only do I like it I love it."

Later

John jogged over to his door to open it after Randy rang the bell

"Hey." He said to the man standing there

"Hey."

"Where's your stuff?" John asked referring to the pillow Randy normally brought when he stayed the night

"I'm just gonna go back to my place tonight."

"Why?"

"I want to sleep in my own bed if that's okay with you." John detected a scant trace of old Randy in his tone

"That would be perfectly okay with me if you didn't have an attitude. What's wrong with you?" John asked gently wrapping a hand around one of Randy's arms. Randy shrugged him off

"I can't do this John!"

"Do what?!"

"You know that I like you and you kiss me and do all this stuff with me as if you like me too!"

"I do!"

"No John. It's not fair. I'm not seeing other people because I'm waiting for you to define what this is between us. I've passed up opportunities to date other people because I want you. Don't you understand that?! You're who I want to be with. If you don't want me then say so but be clear about it because this," Randy gestured between he and John. "This is muddled and I don't like that. You don't get to do this to me."

"I do like you Randy." John said kissing him. "I've just been waiting for you to stand up to me. You were making things too easy and I don't want someone easy."

"That's it?"

"Yes. I've had that and it's never worked out. You were putting it all out there and I was holding out so what we have doesn't become shit like my other relationships." Randy stood there breathing heavily and almost on the verge of tears. "God you look so hot right now." He laughed. "Are you ready?"

"I mean if you want to wait,"

"No. Now's not the time to argue with me." Randy nodded his head quickly

"Oh God John, I'm way ready." John picked Randy up and the younger man wrapped his legs around John's waist. They kissed sloppily as John walked them down to his bedroom. He dropped Randy on the bed and undressed him then himself. Before covering Randy's body with his own John took some time to admire the other man's nakedness. "John." Randy said with a half-smile on his face

"You look so good without clothes. It was hard keeping my hands off you when showering together." John said crawling over Randy and kissing him. Randy wrapped his long legs and arms around John finally having him where he wanted and never wanting to let him go

John reached down and loosened the grip Randy had on him and moved down the man's tall body kissing every inch of hot skin. Randy felt John's breath ghost over his groin and was mildly disappointed when he didn't feel John's mouth on him. When he felt John pushing his legs up and apart he couldn't help but whimper. John spread the taut cheeks burying his face between them. John heard the moan rumble through Randy's body before it passed his lips. He flicked his tongue up and down then circled it before licking slowly again and again. John spat in the hole then inserted a finger and pumped it in and out quickly. John saw the younger man's chest heaving and knew that he was distracted so he added another finger pushing them both deeply. He fingered the man teasingly. One minute he was thrusting the fingers slowly and the next they were moving faster and faster. John wanted to laugh when he heard Randy speaking what assumed was gibberish

"Oh god John...just do it now." John pulled his fingers out

"Are you sure?"

"Yes John! I've waited so long for it."

"Alright, alright." John said grabbing lubricant and condoms from a bedside table. He rolled the condom on then applied some lube to Randy and himself. "Do you want to stay like that?"

"Huh?"

"On your back I mean." Randy nodded

"Mmhm, I want to see you."

"That's really sweet and all," John said pushing the man's legs further apart. "But this isn't going to be some mushy movie shit." He said pushing inside Randy who tensed up

"Okay that's fine but can you go slow at first. You're big John."

"Of course." John said starting to thrust. "I don't want to hurt you."

"I don't want you to hurt me either." John thrust deeper and Randy grabbed onto his arms

"You okay?"

"Mmhm. I think I'm ready now."

"For what?"

"The not mushy movie shit." John laughed and pulled Randy closer

"You're not ready but you asked for it." He leaned forward putting an arm on either side of Randy and started rolling his hips faster

"Oh my god." He moved even faster still until he was slamming the moaning man into the bed. Randy tightened his death grip on John's upper arms and moved his hips along with him. John threw his head back and squeezed his eyes shut. He'd dreamt of this many times and to finally have this man underneath him was pure heaven. Randy had just about the tightest ass John had even been inside and he knew that he never wanted to experience another. Pulling out he made Randy turn over. Once he was back inside him John pushed the younger man's upper body down onto the mattress and hammered him hard

"Oh fuck John!" Randy gripped the sheets in his hands and met John's thrusts. "Harder John. Fuck my ass harder."

"Oh my god." John groaned. Just when he thought sex with Randy couldn't get better the man starts with dirty talk. John slowed his hips down until his partner whimpered and whined for more so John gave him more and more. He heard Randy murmuring but couldn't make out what the man was saying. He did feel Randy's body stiffen then relax. "Did you just cum?" Randy could only nod his head. "Oh thank God." John said. He thrust for another minute or so before teetering then falling over the edge. Randy just flattened the rest of his body against the mattress while John rolled to the side and removed the condom. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. Damn that was good." John laughed

"Thanks. You weren't so bad yourself."

"I'm lying in the wet spot." John laughed again

"It's yours."

"No one has ever fucked me so good that I came without being jerked off."

"You're welcome."

"John?"

"Yes?"

"I'm hungry."

"Our dinner's in the kitchen. You got all emotional on me."

"I didn't mean to you just caught me off-guard."

"I did?! You're the one who came over sans pillow and that's what I was expecting then you show up no pillow and all attitude. I was having none of your shit today." Randy laughed

"I can be moody at times."

"Yea no shit."

"Can we eat?"

"Yea but I want to say something to you first. Look at me." Randy was still facing away from John so he turned over and looked at the man

"What's up John?"

"I just wanted to reiterate that I do really like you and obviously I'm attracted to you. I want to be with you and I'd love nothing more than for you to want the same."

"I do." Randy answered quickly. "I've said that."

"You have but I'm just making sure that this is indeed what you want." He nodded

"I do so much John." John kissed him

"All or nothing?"

"All or nothing." Randy said kissing John

"Now let's eat."

"Oh good I'm starved."

"You stay here and I'll bring it in here."

"Okay." John heated their dinner in the microwave before bring it back to the bedroom. He and Randy sat in bed feeding themselves, feeding one another and talking. They stopped when they were full but continued talking to each other until the talking turned to touching the touching turned to groping and the groping turned into a marathon of sex until they were deliriously tired

Next Morning: Barrett Residence

"Do not touch those muffins Wade?" Wade groaned

"I'm so hungry Love."

"We'll be eating in a minute." Cody said picking up his phone

Cody: where are you? Wade's getting into the muffins

John checked the message and laughed

"Can you respond to him for me?" John asked the man next to him as he started driving again

"Yea, um your phone locked again so I can't get in."

"Oh." John said holding his hand out for the phone then withdrawing it. "It's a backwards Z."

"What?"

"The code is a backwards Z." Randy swiped a backwards Z across the screen and saw John's homepage appear

"You should have a picture of me as your background."

"Should I?"

"Yes. I think so."

John: be there in two minutes

Cody: 90 seconds

"He said 90 seconds."

"I should drive around the block." Randy laughed and shifted in his seat. "You okay?" He glared at John and John laughed as he pulled into the driveway

"Hi. Hi. Hello and good morning!" John said walking into the house

"Kitchen!" Cody yelled back

"You're awfully chipper." Randy said

"I'm always chipper after I get laid."

"John stop." Randy whispered

"Good morning." Cody and Wade said in unison

"Good morning."

"Can we get those muffins now?"

"I need you to open the champagne for mimosas first." Wade growled and Cody eyed him. "You guys have a seat and we'll be right there." John sat in his usual seat while Randy stood

"What kind of muffins are they?"

"Cranberry-orange."

"No wonder I had to rush over here."

"Have a seat Randy."

"Oh, um I'm going to stand for a bit if that's okay."

"If that's fine with you then it's fine with me." Wade burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" John took a sip of his water in an effort to stop his laughing. "What is going on?" Cody asked putting his hands on his hips. John shook his head

"I don't know." Randy hit him

"Here," Wade started to laugh again. "Here's the champagne."

"What the heck ya'll?"

"Your husband has finally lost it Codes."

"It's very rude to keep secrets like that you guys." He said placing a plate of hot eggs on the table

"You should probably sit now." Randy narrowed his eyes at John. John caressed his cheek and kissed him when he took a seat

"So what did you guys do last night?" Cody asked after fixing a plate for his husband. Randy's face turned bright red and Wade started to laugh again. "Oh that is enough." Cody said firmly

"I'm sorry Darling but this, I can't anymore."

"What?!"

"Are you okay Randal?"

"Shut up Wade."

"It's what you wanted right?"

"Shut up Wade." Cody gasped then started to smile

"Oh my goodness. Ya'll finally did it huh?"

"This is so uncomfortable." John said biting his muffin

"Imagine how Randy feels." Cody laughed with John and Wade that time

"You guys are so rude."

"I'm sorry Randy. This just took me by surprise." Cody cleared his throat. "Okay enough. We are all adults and gentlemen." Wade and John stopped laughing

"I'm sorry Randy."

"It's fine just know that you're probably not getting any for a while."

"Oh, ouch."

"Don't be an instigator honey." At Cody's request everyone stopped teasing Randy and ate their breakfast. After they finished they all helped clean the kitchen

"We really hate to eat and run but we're tired." John said drying the last casserole dish and handing it to Wade

"Oh that's okay. We were just going to watch a movie or two in the den. I'm sure we'll end up falling asleep half-way through the first one. Thanks for coming over."

"Thanks for having us." Randy said

"You know that you're always welcome."

"Dinner tomorrow night?"

"Um, yes because we can't have our usual lunch after church."

"Here or at a restaurant."

"We can have it here. I'll cook when I come back."

"Let's go out to a restaurant Love. You cook all the time."

"Whatever you want Wade."

"I'm just saying," Randy and John looked at each other

"One of you call me when this is all sorted out okay?"

"We're going out to dinner. I'll call you with the restaurant when we decide."

"Okay."

"That was fucking stressful." Randy said getting into the car and John laughed

"Um yea, they're so cute though. You can't help but to love them and I mean them as a unit. There is no Cody without Wade and vice versa."

"I lived with them for almost two weeks so I've seen the "Wody" in its natural habitat." John laughed

"Did you just rename them Wody?"

"Yes."

"How come they're not Cade?"

"John," Randy said sighing. "I'm tired and my brain's not working at maximum level."

"You're right. I'm sorry." John drove back to his apartment and they went upstairs and straight to his bedroom

"How much sleep did we get last night?" Randy asking taking his clothes off

"Oh man, I don't know. The last time I looked at the clock it was almost 5 and we kept going after that."

"At least two more times."

"At least." John said throwing the down comforter back and getting between the sheets. "Come here." He said opening his arms for Randy who settled right in. "Are you comfortable?"

"Mmhm. You?"

"Yep." They both yawned

"Do we owe Cody a gift basket or something?"

"For what?"

"The setup?"

"Oh hell no. We – I would never hear the end of it."

"Well it was awfully nice of him." John looked down at his boyfriend who was half-asleep

"Yea, you're definitely not working a maximum level right now."

"I'll get you for that when I wake up."

"Looking forward to it Randy, I'm looking forward to it."

End

A/N: I left the ending kind of open so that maybe I can make a part 2 to this story. It depends on whether I come up with more story for these two men. If you guys want another part just let me know. Your encouragement may get my brain going. Thanks for reading! NDP
