Summary
He cries for the first time this entire summer standing in Noel's shower. He cries for himself, cries for Noel, cries for the fact that he has to get on a plane in a few hours and be 2,500 miles away from him again. He doesn't know how to return back to his normal, day-to-day life after this. How could he go back to work on Tuesday, talk to his coworkers like he wasn't a fundamentally different person now? How did the rest of the world get along without Noel?

Summary
“I just haven’t been into any girls lately.” Noel explains simply, feeling hot under Cody’s stare. “Been distracted, I guess.”
Noel‘s tongue feels too big in his mouth all of a sudden. He pictures their lips crashing together and looks away, fearing that eye contact would turn Cody into a mind reader.
The music is playing softly in the background and Noel’s spinning. Cody’s still leaning into him and his lack of a response makes this feel like a fever dream, like he’s waiting for Noel to give him his next line.
“What have you been distracted by?” Cody asks, going off script and sending Noel into a tizzy. Noel meets Cody’s eyes and they’re dark and something is there. Noel’s stomach lurches and his words are ripped from his throat without second thought.
“You.”

Summary
Cody gets a lump in his throat and is hit with the sudden impulse to laugh this off, to give in to Noel and let him have the victory of this battle in their war. Cody desperately wishes he could be the guy that can take control of this situation with a comeback, call Noel ‘Sugar Gay’ or something, anything, and just get back to editing. But Cody’s not that guy. His heart starts racing and he realizes he can’t laugh his way out of this one, not with Noel’s fingers gripping his leg like that. Noel’s eyes scan down to Cody’s lips and back up so quickly that if Cody blinked, he would have missed it, and in that moment he wonders, what kind of guy is he, then?
