   Why do I love You? pt 13
Cody took a steadying breath before opening the door. He saw Eric sitting there with a smile on his face.

"Hi Eric." Cody said in greeting. It came out a bit more grumbled than he'd wanted. Eric cocked his head to one side.

"Cody, what's wrong?" Eric asked, confused. Cody wasn't thinking of leaving him, was he? No, he wouldn't...

Cody sat down at the foot of Eric's bed. He sighed. "I just...What did you want to tell me?"

Eric bit his lip nervously. "Well, I wanted to say I'm sorry for not being more understanding of your not wanting to come out yet...and um, I want to try to..."

Cody felt like a weight had been taken off his chest. He'd misunderstood completely. Eric still wanted to be in a relationship with him. Cody felt so relieved. He hugged Eric so tightly and suddenly it sort of became a tackle, forcing Eric to lay back on his bed.

"C-Cody?!" Eric squeaked out, not sure what to mae of this reaction. Cody kissed him softly on the lips.

"You...idiot...there's nothing...you didn't do anything wrong....I'm the one who's been stupid. I love you, and it's time I started acting like it." Cody said, laughing from relief. "I am going to take you out on an actual date when you get better, okay?"

Eric's mouth dropped open. He couldn't believe what Cody was saying. "What?"

Cody smirked. "You heard me. You and me. A date. As soon as you get better. Got it, babe?"

Eric nodded, feeling dizzy, but allowed Cody to kiss him again until he was light-headed.

---Ah, not over (cause I'm evil)---

In about a month and a half, Eric got his casts taken off. He and Cody still hadn't come out, except to those who'd found out before. Now, it's three days after he got his casts off during gym.

"Man, FINALLY something I'm half-decent at!" Cati said, laughing to Marshal and Lyndsey.

Cody overheard that and quirked a brow at Eric. "No, not really. I think she just likes it better..."

"Whatever. So, ready for Friday?" Cody asked. Eric blushed.
