In Your Arms
If anyone else had been standing there talking Alex’s ear off after such a long and grueling practice, Alex would probably be pretty likely to hit them just to make them shut up - including his sister or his best friend. But because it was Cody, he was perfectly content to listen to him babble, especially because Alex found his constant state of excitement to be absolutely adorable. “Yeah, you’re definitely a keeper,” Alex truthfully agreed, chuckling. “And you’re definitely very, very cute,” he added, stopping momentarily to give Cody a kiss. Alex was feeling better from his practice already.
"Hmm, let me think about that for a moment…" Alex said, pretending to mull over his choices. "Nah. I love you, but I need to end this year with a bang," he grinned, slipping an arm around Cody’s waist and pulling him close, chuckling when Cody went on to lick his neck. "No matter how many evil eyes you may get, they know not to mess with you or else they have to deal with me. Your dorm sounds fine to me, though," Alex agreed. "But I know that you’re trying to fatten me up and slow me down with those chocolates," he added with a smirk.
"Aw, good because I don't want you tiring of me someday. I'd be a very sad little badger without you." Although Cody was teasing, he still felt an ache in his heart at the thought of losing Alex. He was aware that Alex was much too good for him and had been told that by various spiteful Slytherin girls that had been after Alex for quite some time. Cody smiled almost shyly as Alex paused to confirm that he was in fact, very cute. He kissed him back, smiling all the way to the castle because yeah- he had the most amazing boyfriend ever.
"Oh, you'll end it with a bang... don't you worry." Cody gave him an angelic look, wide eyed and innocent, when really he was anything but. "I think you'd be adorable if you got a little chubby. You'd be my teddy bear." Cody teased, as they entered the Hufflepuff common room. There weren't too many students in as most of them were out enjoying the night before curfew. "I'd ask you to carry me up to my room like a damsel in distress, but I'll let you slide this time, since you know- you were at practice." He grinned, leading his boyfriend up to his dorm room that he shared with two other Hufflepuff students. One had a girlfriend he spent his nights with and Cody couldn't remember when the last time was that he'd seen him. He hoped he was still alive or whatnot. His other roommate was not in either. Plopping himself down on his bed, he made grabby hands for his boyfriend to join him.
