Quality Time
"Oh, I never said anything about not punishing you. I just wouldn’t break up with you over it," Alex smirked back at Cody, knowing that if it did happen that he’d mostly punish him just because Cody seemed to like it, which made Alex like it in return. It was hard not to like anything that resulted in his boyfriend being under him, or on top of him, or just generally anywhere near him at all. “Yeah? Well I don’t doubt that one bit. Everyone knows you’re amazing at herbology,” Alex smiled, giving Cody’s hand a squeeze and kissing his cheek as they walked to the green house. Alex absolutely never minded going along to the green house to see what Cody was working on most recently, because it truly was incredible to see. How Cody could do what he did was absolutely beyond him. “Merlin, Cody…” Alex said with a low whistle, looking at the enormous plant in front of him. “This is amazing. I could never get the hang of hybrids in class,” he added with a small chuckle, letting go of Cody’s hand to slip an arm around him. “Have you named her?” he asked, making sure to use the same pronoun that Cody had when showing him the plant, because he thought something even as small as that could further show just how proud he was of Cody.
"Good. I'd love the first, the latter not so much." Cody hummed. His smile turned to a grin as he watched Alex's facial expression. Cody was proud, making Alex proud, making him happy in turn. He'd always had a dream that Alex would become some hot shot professional quittich player and he's be St. Mungo's curing the ill and making a medical breakthrough in the wizarding world. The thoughts were private as there was always that edge of insecurity that the young brunette lived with. However, being praised by his ten thousand times better than him boyfriend always makes him feel good enough. "Thank you, babe." He pecked Alex's cheek before grinning. "I have not named her yet. I wanted to give you the honors of doing so." He smiled over at Alex, batting his lashes for good measure. "So, what's her name gonna be, big guy?"
