Cody and I sat chatting, laughing, and somewhat enjoying each other's company, while hours past aimlessly. The snacks Cody had brought were mostly gone, they were actually good, better than uncooked rice. As we continue talking about nothing, I could slowly feel the effects of the root beer kick in.

I couldn't help but laugh at everything Cody was saying. Cody let's out a chuckle and gives me an amused look, "Junior you do realize root beer doesn't really make you drunk right..?", I huff and kick Cody's leg weakly, and mumble, "Shuddup..nerd..if I'm not drunk.." I trail off then cross my arms, giving Cody a serious look, "..then how come I'm seeing double? Huh, genius?" Cody's expression changes to a more unimpressed look, "Junior.. if you're seeing double then there's something seriously wrong.." Cody chuckles and I watch him cover his mouth to hold back laughter, then he continues as his expression softens, "..but I'm not sure if it's the root beer's fault or you're just stupid.." I huff and punch his arm, I could slowly feel my cheeks warm up, "It's obviously.. the root beer!"

Cody chuckles again, letting out a small "sure", before taking a slow sip of the root beer he's clearly not willing to finish. «What a waste, Cody's not even drinking it..he could give me some at least!» I lean over and slightly open my mouth, expecting Cody to understand what I want. Cody stares at me in shock and confusion, I stare back not sure what the problem is, "What..?", I watch Cody's face become a shade of pink.

I lean away and pout slightly, watching Cody's face become pinker, "W-what..what were you doing?", I groan and huff, "I clearly wanted some of your root beer.. you're obviously not gonna finish it, nerd..what else would I be trying to do?", Cody gulps and then sighs, "I..I just..", Cody groans, "Nevermind.. just take it..", before Cody could hand the bottle over, I lean back over, placing my hand on Cody's thigh in the process.

To be clear we were sitting side by side and uncomfortably close. I put my mouth on the tip of the bottle and then use my other hand to wrap it around the glass. My hand was also wrapped around Cody's hand (who was also holding the bottle, explaining shit is hard 👀✨), his hand was surprisingly warm. I expected Cody to tip the bottle up for me, but he just sat there speechless.

I mentally groan and then tip the glass bottle slightly upwards to drink some..well all of the root beer. I let go of the bottle and wipe my mouth, smiling and feeling quite satisfied. I then look at Cody to see him staring at me intensely, I felt my cheeks warm up, "W-what..?" «Why is he staring at me like that..? He literally said I can have it..ugh why does this feel weird now..?»

Cody gives me a weird smug look, "Junior.. that was the gayest thing you've ever done.. I'm definitely keeping a mental image for later, just wow.." my eyes widen and I could feel the embarrassment hit me like a train, "i-i.. ugh shut up..not everything has to be gay, Cody.." I look away and cross my arms, "dummy.." I immediately feel the bed shift and I quickly turn back to look at Cody, "What are y—" to my surprise Cody was right in my face, our noses touching. I froze, not knowing what to do, my face feels extremely warm, "C-cody..?" Cody only hums in response, I felt his hand touch cheek. «uh what the hell is happening, why can't I move..??! Why don't I wanna move..? »

Cody then fully leans in, kissing me slowly. This was different from any other kiss we had before, well of course those kisses were forced, but this was strangely different. For some reason I didn't hate this, what's going on with me?! I slowly close my eyes and hesitatingly kiss back, «How did we end up like this, this is gay as hell!? Is it because the root beer? Yeah..that has to be it..right?"»
