Why Do I Love You? pt. 17
First off, I'm sorry for the long wait, really. My muse was being a *ahem* and the HP book was a disappointment. Anyways, I'm back now that said muse inspired me (always without his knowledge)
Well.... "Where were we? Ah yes, I remember."

The duo waited semi-patiently for the waiter to give them a table, since Cody was distracted by Eric. Finally, though they were able to get a seat. Cody sat down, looking cool but feeling nervous. Eric on the other hand, did as his stomach commanded and went straight to the buffet.

Cody took a deep breath and grinned. The date seemed to be going well. He closed his eyes and took a sip of his Coke.

Eric came back and sat down, cocking his head to the side as he looked at his boyfriend. "Cody? What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?"

Cody shrugged. "Not really. I was just thirsty."

Eric felt self-conscious, eating in front of Cody when Cody wasn't eating. At one point, he dropped his fork and spilled his drink reaching to pick it up. Cody laughed.

"I uh…" Eric stammered. Cody took Eric's hand.

"Hey, what's got you so nervous? You're jumpier than Cati was when I told her we were staying together, and she was actually jumping." Cody rested his head on the palm of his hand. Eric looked away.

"I feel like a pig, eating when you aren't." Eric muttered, embarrassed. Just then a kinda familiar squeal was heard. "Hey, doesn't that sound like…"

"Trouble with a capital K-A-T-I-E or however you spell her name?" Cody sounded kinda bright for a change of pace. Eric nodded glancing around. He spotted her with a couple people from school. They weren't looking at the couple, in fact, Cati had her face buried in a book.

"OMIGOSHILEE these guys are soooooo hott!" The nerdish chick said, giggling. Lyndsey, Marshal, a girl named Holly, and Holly's boyfriend, Dana, shook their heads. "What? They are! Lookie, see!"

Cody and Eric sniggered to themselves. "Oh man, she's got perfect timing… When she doesn't realize it."

"Yeah." Cody looked into Eric's eyes. "Hey, Eric…"

"Hmm…?" Eric asked. Cody leaned forward.

"I love you. And…" Cody held up a finger when Eric opened his mouth to respond. "I don't care who knows it."

Eric gasped, eyes widening. "Mean it?"

Cody nodded, grin spreading on his face. Eric squeezed Cody's hand.

"I love you, too." Eric whispered, his own face breaking out in a huge smile.
