-"Yeah! I'm not a kissboy!
But, it was just a dare, right? I mean, they wouldn't have, or tried, to do it if the bottle hadn't stopped spinning right at him after Keith. Of course, Cody quickly processed that the bottle had stopped and was pointing at him, and the previous person it pointed to was... Keith, his best friend.
The other people in the group stared at them, some squealing while some were cheering, "Kiss, kiss, kiss!" Cody had pretended to be boyfriends or gay with Keith before as a joke since they thought it was funny or they were dared to do so.
But dude, that party was crazy as hell. IF, Manon, maybe? No wait, was that Nicole? Whatever, they were just running around and ruined the moment between him and Keith, and Cody's pretty sure Jack was chasing them for some reason. Jack hadn't really told them why he was chasing the girls around. There's probably a deeper or darker reason but... JACK WOULDN'T DO THAT?! He's not a bad person! Or... Is he..? Well, somebody did say that they saw him arguing with Nicole about Manon in the kitchen beforeeeeeeeee he got tackled by Tommy into a pile of discarded pizza boxes and created a mess.
And... Before that, Keith and Cody we're holding onto each other's waists. The people who were playing the game about spinning the bottle with them were watching them and cheering on, and even the DJ played some random cheesy jazz song on the speakers and even more people in the party were beginning to watch.
Cody gave Keith an awkward smile to try and fill the silence between them, well as if there was much space between them. Keith just rolled his eyes and bit his lip, looking away. *This is it. Cody, don't screw this up... I'm just about to hit the fucking jackpot!* He could feel his own heart beating faster as he got closer and sweat slowly started to form on his forehead even though the room was air-conditioned and cold.
Keith shut his eyes and pursed his lips, preparing himself to kiss Cody, Cody also closed his eyes and pursed his lips, bracing himself. Their tips and chest were almost touching eachother and there was barely and space between them... This is it, the moment that everyone had been waiting for, someone was recording in the behind the couch, but Keith couldn't care less about that.
So close, their lips are about touch, THEY'RE GOING TO KISS, LET'S GO-
"Keith, Cody, we got some buyer's remorse! Quit that gay shit!" Jack's voice quickly snapped them both out of the moment, before trying to process what exactly is happening. There was still a bunch of people watching and they haven't kissed yet, so sad. Before Cody knew it, Keith took the chance and shoved him backwards, leaping over the couch and following Jack outside the house. "I wasn't going to kiss you!
Cody got up quickly and did the same, he vaulted over the couch and followed Keith "I am NOT a kiss boy."
Andddddddddddd the rest had been forgotten, it was kind of a blur or memories. But what happened was after that people slowly left after and there was a bunch of trash to clean up. And someone threw up in the sink... Sigh.
It took like a few extra hours to get that cleaned up, wowzers.
Cody stepped out of the doorway and made his way down the porch stairs, he turned his head to the side to look behind him after hearing some faint footsteps and there was Keith. "Yo, we walking home together again?" Keith shot up a question at Cody, in which he nodded to since he didn't mind and this wasn't his first time walking home with him.
The breeze was a little colder and most of the street lamps in the neighborhood were on. Well, it was the middle of the night so it would make sense for everyone to be asleep and resting up in their beds.
"Hey, about earlier... That was uhh, kinda gay, man." Keith made a comment about earlier, making an awkward chuckle.
"BRO, YOU WERE IN IT TOO"
"THAT WASN'T MY FAULT"
Cody sighed before passing by a pavement with railings where the beach could be seen, the moonlight reflecting the ocean waters. The stars looked like silver glitter spread across the night sky. He approached it to get a better view of the sea and the sky, Keith followed him to do the same.
"About earlier... I, uh..."
"Wanna continue the dare?"
"Keith, what?"
"I MEAN- If you're not uncomfortable with it..?"
Keith looked away to stare at the sea, pretending there was something interesting about it though there was nothing that was, he took off his cap and leaned against the iron bars, his arms placed on the railing with one hand still holding his cap.
"Yes, please..." Cody wrapped his arms around Keith's waist, Keith turned to face him, one hand held his lower back and the other hand held the back of his head.
They leaned in for a kiss, shutting their eyes and disconnecting from their surroundings as they pursed their lips and made contact with them. Cody could practically feel Keith's breath and each other's racing heartbeats.
After what felt like hours, they pulled away from eachother after kissing, but it's fine since it's not in a gay way, right?
"Cody, what the fuck did we just do?"
"I dunno man, BUT WERE GAY NOW!"
"Have we always been gay?"
"Uhh- Probably? Does not mean we're boyfriends now?"
"Keith, I'm going to tell you this... I love you okay, but not in a gay way."
"Cody I think that's gay."
