SPOILER ALERT- If you don't like spoilers DO NOT PROCEED
it's spoiler central down there for WCHIAWTO
How would I describe God? Well, others would tell you that it’s tough. God is an everchanging being, benevolent and wise. He is all loving and all-seeing. Selfless and ancient. But the simple fact is, others are wrong. God is painfully unchanging, and God is spiteful. God is ignorant and God is hateful. But most important of all, God isn’t a He. God is a She.
Robin is a tragedy. No matter what she does, everyone she loves dies. Over and over and over. It's not like she doesn't know she's killing them. But that doesn't stop her from trying to stop it. All she wants is someone to love her and not kill themselves. Is that really so hard?
Casey's been around a while, and they can tell chaos when they see it. And Robin's a doozy. So why not tag along and help them create chaos in a more... manageable way? Or die spectacular exploding deaths if not, Casey doesn't mind. After all, who wouldn't want to be the love of God's life?
Owen's life sucks, and it's all her fault. She gave him everything that his parents hate him for. He's got no home, he's got no family, he's got nothing to lose. Now he's on his way to kill God.

:P
So anyway, that's the second lot of victims lol. Feel free to ask anything you want.

Chapter Summery: After Dating Trent for the past Few Weeks, Cody Fancies Himself a Love Expert. And With his New Credentials, He is Determined To Help Noah, the way He Helped Him. Only Problem Is Noah Would Rather Die then Let His Crush Know..
Characters: Cody, Noah, Owen, and (Back in Chapter One) Trent
Ships: Nowen, And (Mentions of) Trody
Chapter One <------
Noah peeked out from where he hid, only to swiftly duck back behind the wall. He sighed, “This is Stupid. I’m Not Doing It.”
“It’s Not Stupid, dude!” Cody encouraged, “C’mon! You can do it! I Believe in You!”
“It’s not a question of Ability, it’s about willingness” Noah looked to his friend, “And I’m Not Doing It.”
Cody locked eyes with Noah, and slowly raised his hands to his hips.
“Cody. Don’t.”
The geek didn’t obey, instead he kept his eyes trained on his friend and uttered a simple, yet powerful,“Bwack.”
“You’re Not Funny.”
Cody seemed to disagree as he continued to not only Bwack but also flap his elbows.
“Cody Stop It.”
Cody froze mid flap, “Are you Gonna Do It.”
“No-”
“BA-BWACK!!!” He screeched Flailing his arms like an angry chicken.
Noah Lunged at his Dumb Friend to cover up his Dumb Mouth, “What Is Wrong With You???” He hissed.
“Mmmbbmm. Mrrmm’m mrrmm mmm MMM.’”
Noah Glared, “I’ll take my hand away if you promise to quit being The Most Obnoxious Person I Know.”
Cody thought about this deal, truly pondered, gave it a good ol’ think before smiling under Noah’s palm.
Noah cocked a brow, before his face was twisted into shock and disgust as he ripped his now saliva covered hand away from The Most Obnoxious Person He Knows.
He opened his mouth to berate his Dumb Friend That He Hates but all that came out was, “BAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAHH!!!!! GAAAAHHHHGGG!!” he yelled, “ mllLYAAK, nygah” was all he could say to illustrate how repulsed he was, but finally he was able to formulate the words “WhYY?!?”
“Your Hand Tastes Like Hand Sanitizer.”
Noah Looked at Cody, in something akin to rage, disgust, and bafflement. “What would make you do that?? What Would Make You Think That Was Ok?? Tell Me, I Would Really Like To Know The Reason You Decided To Die Today??”
Cody Opened his mouth to say something, whether it was an answer or not will remain unknown since a third party spoke first.
“Lil’ Buddy??” Owen said, peaking around the Corner, “Did you just Scream, Pal? Are You Ok?”
Noah didn’t turn to face the new voice, instead he kept his eyes on Cody, said eye’s losing all traces of irritation and being replaced by pure anxiety.
Cody, on the other hand, glanced at the new voice, confirming it was Owen, before returning to look at Noah with the biggest, most obnoxious Smile. He then gave Two Giant Thumbs Up, before using both hands to point at Owen, who, luckily, was far too concerned with whether his little buddy was Ok or Not to notice.
Noah also didn’t notice, for even though he was looking at Cody, he wasn’t seeing Cody. He was far too busy trying to come up with a way to get out of here to notice what Dumb Thing his Dumb Friend was doing now. So far his ways to leave the situation are as follows, A.) Disappearing into a Puff of smoke, never to be seen again; B.) Melting into an Unfeeling Puddle; or C.) Spontaneous Combustion. Though he isn’t sure if any of those are particularly…. Convenient?
Though C does sound pretty good.
He is also partial to B.
“Noah?” Owen’s voice yanked Noah out of thought, as the Larger boy placed a worried hand on his friends Shoulder.
Noah jumped back from the touch, “Oh, Hey Big Guy,” he Started after turning to face him, and before backing subtly away, “I’m fine, I just Need to wash My Hand. Which Means I Can’t Stay Here. So I Can’t Talk.” Noah shot quick nervous glances at both of his Friends before uttering an even quicker, “Bye.”, and turning to book it.
If you were Owen McCarthy for the past 3 weeks, as Owen happened to be, you would have been used to this behavior, as sad and confused as it made you feel.
If you were Cody Anderson, who coincidentally, Cody was, you would Know this treatment was thanks to a talk the two of you had where you helped him realize he had a Crush on his Best Friend.
If you Were Noah Bhatt, which the current Noah Bhatt would be happy to let you take his place from here, you would be well aware of the new terrible, bubbly feeling of crush filled anxiety that was before covered up by the facade of just liking your Best Friend since Daycare as a Best Friend. You would also blame all of this on your other friend, who had the audacity to point out your feelings three weeks ago while playing video games.
The Jerk.
Noah made two fairly good strides to get out before being Grabbed by Cody, “Duuuuuude!!!! Stop!!! It’s Not a Big Deal!!! Just Do It!”
Big Words From A Boy, That In Fact, Did Not Do It.
Noah tried to wiggle his arm free, Not looking at Cody, and especially not looking at Owen, "I’d Love To Stay, But I Have To Go."
Cody Glared at this response, before releasing his struggling friend, causing the boy to stumble a little. "Fine. I guess I can Talk with Owen before class instead."
Noah continued to walk briskly away, "Fine, Talk With Ow-"
Noah Stopped Suddenly in his Tracks.
'Oh No.'
"Hey, Owen! Guess Who Thinks Your Cuuu- OOMMFF!"
Cody was cut off by Noah once again lunging at him, hissing for Cody to "Shut Up!!!"
This was not as Effective as Noah would have liked, with Cody successfully keeping the other at Arm's length, though it wasn't an easy task. Which was a little surprising; Cody had Never seen Noah put So Much Effort into Something.
He Really Didn’t Want Owen To Know.
Too Bad Cody Has Already Decided It Needs To Happen.
"If You Won't Do It I Will!!!" Cody Declared, pushing against Noah's Hands to keep him back, “It’s For Your Own Good, Dude! Just Do It!!”
Since getting with Trent, Cody has fancied himself a bit of a Love Expert, much to Noah’s exasperation. That’s really how this all started, Cody Claiming he Knew Everything about Love, then telling Noah that he Obviously had a Crush on Owen.
At first Noah disagreed with this diagnostic, afterall, What Did Cody Know?
A Lot More Than Noah Give’s Him Credit For, Apparently.
The Struggling Paused as the two friends stared at each other.
It Felt like an eternity before Noah Opened his Mouth, only to close it again.
He Has Made His Choice.
Cody closed his eyes and nodded, before turning his head to face Owen, "NOAH LI- GAAH!!!" Cody released his grip on Noah's hands, transferring them to his now Sore Shin.
"dUDE DID YOU JUST KICK ME??!!?"
Noah looked his friend in the eye, blank faced, "no."
Cody shot daggers at his friend as he held his probably bruising leg. He then went to speak, maintaining eye Contact with his assailant, "Noah Thinks You're Cute. You Two Should Date."
"Cody!!! " Noah hissed, once again lunging forward, but he did not move fast enough to Murder Cody Right Then And There as he so desired, because Cody had already started to Run down The Hall.
Noah took a few strides after Cody, before deciding it wasn't worth the work opting instead to shout, "YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, ANDERSON!!!"
Cody simply spun around, though he continued with a Trot, and shot two big thumbs up accompanied by an even bigger grin.
Cody Anderson: Noah’s Most Hated Friend.
"I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP!!!!"
Cody responded to this threat to his life by blowing a kiss to Noah, before yelling "SEE YOU IN PHYSICS!!!" And turning to sprint to whichever class he had next.
Noah Glared down the thinning hall, though Cody was no longer there.
He would have continued this Unreceived Glare if it wasn’t for the faint and awkward chuckle behind him.
Noah shifted to look at his Best Friend, though he did a remarkable job at avoiding his Face, “Listen, pal, I can expla-”
“Don’t worry about it, Bud!” Owen smiled, “It’s a pretty mean joke, but it didn’t bother me!!”
Noah was taken aback by this. Owen thought it was a Joke??? Is He Free??? Did He Get Out Of Admitting He Had Emotions?? Did He Win??
He gave a half hearted laugh, “Yeah, you know Cody, Always telling Bad Jokes.” Noah then looked up at his friends face and regretted what he said immediately.
Owen was clearly bothered.
Noah should have been able to tell.
He’s an Idiot.
“It’s kinda funny,” Owen continued to smile at Noah, a smile Noah hated. A smile Owen only had when he wasn’t actually happy. A smile Noah’s been able to spot since the 5th grade. A smile No One else Seems to notice on the Big Ball of Optimism that’s Owen, and that fact somehow made Noah hate it even more.
“I mean, could you imagine, you being into me ? That’s ridiculous!” Owen chuckled, but not the one he has when he’s amused by a situation or the one that trickles out because he’s just So Happy he can’t Help It, but rather the one that Forced Out when he’s uncomfortable and trying to hide it.
Noah can’t let this continue, he may be bad at his own emotions, but he’s an expert on Owen’s, and as that expert it’s his responsibility to cheer his Best Buddy Up.
“Hey, Big Guy, I’m sure Cody didn’t mean it like that.” Noah closed the gap between him and Owen, placing his hand as close to the larger boy’s shoulder as he could. Owen looked down at Noah, realizing his little buddy once again saw past his attempts to act as if he were happy with something.
He looked at Noah, interested in what he had to say, which was honestly nothing new.
“The joke was probably me not having a chance with you.” Noah continued, discreetly wiping his soiled hand on Owen’s shirt, “I mean, Cody wouldn’t insult you on purpose.”
Owen Grabbed Noah by both shoulders, shocking him, “WHAAAT??! That’s Crazy Talk!!!!”
Noah smiled, “Thank’s bud-”
“Your, like, THE BEST!” Owen continued, unphased by the interruption, “You’re Cool, and Funny, and Smart, and, and, And AWESOME!!!” Owen let go of Noah’s Shoulders as he threw his hands in the air, “Who Wouldn’t Want To Date You!!!!”
Noah stared up at Owen, shocked.
What does that mean?
What Does That Mean??
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???
Noah cleared his throat, “Uh, gee, Thanks.. Owen….” He looked up and smiled, “I really appreciate that.”
Owen returned the smile.
Noah fidgeted a little, before continuing, “You’re…. Pretty great, Too.” he rubbed his arm nervously,
‘Just walk away Noah. He thinks it was a joke, and he’s not sad anymore, cut your losses and Get Out’.
“I mean, I think you’re pretty Funny…”
‘That’s not Getting Out.’
Noah ignored his thoughts, and continued, “You’re a lot of Fun to be around. I mean, I Really Love hanging out with you…”
‘Stop. Leave. Don’t Do This. Get OUT.’
“You’re So Nice, and Enthusiastic about Everything, it’s kinda annoying.”
‘Good, Insult Him, and Leave.
“But, it’s also kinda Charming?”
‘LEAVE!!!’
Owen grinned sheepishly, “Really?”
‘NO! SAY NO!’
“Yeah..” Noah looked away to try and hide the fact that he was Blushing, “I Really…..”
‘Don’t Do It. Don’t Say It. Please Someone Stop Me. Oh My God What Am I Doing.’
Owen looked at his friend, wide eyed, seemingly in shock. You could practically hear the gears turning in his head.
Noah looked around anxiously, but before he could take it all back Owen Cheered.
“FOR REAL DUDE???!!!??!” He Beamed, “THAT’S AWESOME!!!!” Owen Squeezed Noah in a Far-Too-Tight hug and spun around gleefully.
“Owen…..” Noah wheezed, “Owen… I Can’t Breath….”
“Ooops,” Owen chuckled, letting him go, “Sorry, man! I’m Just So Excited!!!” He Explained.
“No way, really? I couldn’t Tell.” Noah tried to keep up his trademark Sarcasm to distract from the fact that he was currently dying from the levels of excitement he himself was experiencing.
“TOTALLY!!” Owen continued, “I Mean!!! I Like You Too, Noah!!”
Even though Noah gathered as much from Owens reaction, hearing the actual word put him through a spin his mortal body was not prepared for. Noah began blushing more than he had ever done before in his life , not to mention that he was now brandishing a smile that could barely fit on his face.
It was Embarrassing.
Though not as embarrassing as his dumb follow up question, “You mean, Like Like? Or Like???” Noah paused, mostly because he didn’t really know what words meant at the moment, “Ok, So Like, did You Mean, uuuuhh, liiike???” Noah was struggling, and also probably dying.
Owen chuckled, “I Mean I Like You, Dude! Like in a ‘Let’s Date!’ Kinda Way!!”
“Ok.” Noah squeaked out, “Let’s…” He tried to calm down, though it wasn’t easy, “Let’s... Dooo…. That.”
“Do what?”
Noah took a deep breath in, finding the few nerves that hadn’t been obliterated by this conversation, “Date?”
Owen beamed, “Yeah, Man! Let’s Date!!! WOO!” He then wrapped his little buddy in another bone-crushing Hug, but this one was considerably more breathable, “This is A-A-AWESOME!”
Noah tried to conceal a chuckle, but even he couldn’t deny the pure joy he was experiencing.
He patted Owen on the shoulder, fondly, “Alright, Lunch Box. Put me Down before we’re late to-”
“Aw Man, Sorry, Little Buddy…” Owen Looked down at his friend, wait no, BOYFRIEND, he had a boyfriend now, and it was Noah and this is The Best.
Owen Looked Down at His Boyfriend, who he was still holding in his arms, “Hey, want me to carry you to class?”
Noah looked up at his Best Friend for the past 13 years, and current Boyfriend, “That’s The Dumbest Question You’ve Ever Asked Me.” Noah deadpanned, “Of Course I Want To Be Carried.”
Later that Day….
Cody sat in class, bored out of his mind when he felt a vibration in his pocket. Checking to make sure the teacher wasn’t looking, he pulled his phone out to check the notification.
It Was From Noah!!!
Five-Head: Wanted to let you know that you’re death won’t be swift, or merciful.
Me: o dude did it not go well
Me: srry
Five-Head: With me and Owen? That went great. We’re dating now.
Five-Head: But you licking my hand can’t go unpunished.
in order: Hawthorne, Theo, Iona, Cody, Robin, Casey, Owen (credit to potatolord on picrew for the refs)
Hawthorne:
He's kind of (?) the main guy. This is the sad wet cat of a man. He's just not happy. How else to describe him.... oh, he gets in the middle of a decades long fight between a 50 year old man and a teenaged god. So that's fun. (I call him H sometimes, so if you see that, that's who I'm talking about). He's aroace, he's traumatized, what more could you want?
Theo:
H's best friend. He has MAJOR repressive issues. Is able and willing to fight you, so don't mess around. He has beef with Iona.
Iona:
Inserted herself into H and Theo's lives after she saw them being idiots and decided someone should probably stop them. She can never do anything wrong ever (she's lying she is wrong a lot) (she won't tell you that though, even if you've proven it). Theo has beef with her, but she's just having fun annoying him. She's an aroallo lesbian.
Cody:
You know that guy who covers pain with laughter? That's this guy. He's a mind reader, he's blind, he lives every day in the traumatized brains of H and Theo. (He's just straight up not having a good time /ref). When will Cody show up? No-body knows...
Robin:
:P you aren't gonna get a whole lotta detail on her, we wouldn't want spoilers now, would we?
Casey:
For the purposes of not spoiling anything, they're known for being slightly insane and also giving scarily accurate predictions about things.
Owen:
Doesn't feature a whole lot in WCHIAWTO, other than that time he tried to kill a certain someone... :} He's trans, he hates his life, but don't worry, he has a happy ending... eventually >:)
