Cody got out of Zack’s bed the next morning trying to convince himself it was all a dream. It was a Saturday, so, by the time he got dressed and was completely awake, it was already 11am. Zack was always a late sleeper and probably would not be up for another hour. Cody left the room and went into the main room of their suite.
“Good morning, Cody,” his mother, Carey said, when she noticed he was up.
“Morning, mom,” Cody replied, “what’s for breakfast?”
“I’m making you guys some pancakes,” she answered, “They should be done in a few minutes.”
Cody liked pancakes and without complaining sat on the couch, which doubled as his mother’s bed, and turned on the t.v. Once he found his favorite show, he let his thoughts drift off to what happened the night before. He had woken up with Zack’s hand on his penis. Then, he tried to take it off but it felt good and used it to jerk himself for an hour. The strangest part was that it felt good! Cody hadn’t been completely sure about his sexual orientation but now he knew that he was gay.
Just as Cody had predicted, Zack came out of their room, fully dressed, around midday. By that time, Carey was already cleaning up the room and bathroom.
“Good, now that you’re both up I can tell you,” she said when she saw Zack sit down on the couch, next to his brother, “I have a wedding to sing at tonight. Maddie will be over at 8 and will stay until 12. I should be back at around 2, so you two will have two hours to yourselves. No misbehaving!”
“Yes, mom,” the twins replied in unison.
“Bye Ms. Martin,” Maddie, the Tipton’s blonde-haired candy girl, said as Carey left the suite to go sing at a wedding in the ballroom.
It was now 8pm and Maddie had come over to baby sit the twins. The two had not talked about the previous night at all that day. Cody tried several times but could not gather enough strength to start the conversation. The three sat and watched Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, a movie Maddie had brought over.
“Guys, I’ll be right back,” Maddie said as she got up, “I just have to go to the bathroom.”
So, Maddie went into the bathroom and closed the door. Cody decided now was the time to talk to Zack. He took a deep breath and then opened his mouth.
“Hey, Zack,” he started, “I woke up in the middle of the night, last night, and found your hand down my pants.”
“Wh…What?” Zack said, “that’s gross, Codster. Why would you say something like that?”
“Because it’s true,” Cody replied.
“Really?” questioned Zack, who knew Cody was right, “then, how come I woke up this morning and both of my hands were by my side?”
“Because I put it there,” said Cody.
“Zack, are, are you gay?” continued Cody.
“Dude, are you kidding me?” laughed Zack, “if I was gay, why would I be checking out all the hot chicks everywhere we go?”
“Oh,” said Cody, slightly disappointed, “Zack, I have something I have to tell you.”
“What?” asked Zack, annoyed and scared. He did not want Cody to know that he was in love with him.
“You might not be, but I’m gay, and, um, I love you,” blurted out Cody.
Then, Cody put his hands over his face and started to cry.
“Cody, why are you crying?” Zack asked.
“Aren’t you mad at me?” Cody replied, “I just told you I’m gay and I love you. You should be pissed at me right now.”
“Well, Cody, I lied,” Zack said, “actually, I’m, I’m gay, too. I don’t really like all those girls I say I do. I just pretend so that no one will be able to tell that I like boys.”
“Really???” Cody asked, lifting his face out from behind his hands. His face was covered in tears that were beginning to dry.
“Really,” Zack said, confidently, as he hugged his brother, “and also, the only person I’ve ever really wanted was you. So, there, we’re equal. You were right, my hand was down your pants last night because you just looked so cute and I wanted to fell your dick. I’ve wanted to since we turned 12.”
“Oooooh, Zack,” cried Cody, as he hugged his brother even harder.
But then, they heard the toilet bowl flush and realized that Maddie was still there. They decided that the rest of this conversation and any “results” of it would have to wait till after Maddie left. Quickly, they spread apart and began to focus on the movie and acted like nothing ever happened. Maddie walked out of the bathroom and luckily, for the boys, she heard none of their conversation. The three finished watching Tokyo Drift and then put in Click, with Adam Sandler. They laughed a lot and then when it ended, Maddie got the boys to shower and get in their pajamas. Once they had done that, she left. The twins headed straight for their room and prepared for a long night.
