Oldest Child Cody: Cody and Priscilla's Relationship
I've decided to explore more in what Cody and Priscilla relationship would be like in this AU and how it progresses.
It would be a classic enemies-to-lovers kind of thing.
I imagine them knowing each other since elementary school or middle school with Priscilla's mother sending her to school on Griffin Rock for a while.
They would not like each other and would be rivals at almost everything they do in school. From extracurriculars to school events.
They would both be able to see through each other. Priscilla seeing through his perfect boyscout facade and Cody sees through her sickeningly sweet attitude she uses to charm suckers.
They would act polite when around others, but in private, they don't hold back on reminding each other how much they hate the other.
But after high school, Priscilla would leave Griffin Rock with her mother, presumable to a fancy college her mother wants her to study, while Cody remains in Griffin Rock.
Eventually, she would return, and the rivalry is reignited. But again, they would play nice in public, while being snarky in private.
During the events of 'Spellbound', they would work together, and there would actually be a little heart-to-heart moment where they open up a bit to each other, if only a little bit. Maybe partially share their reasons for acting the way they do.
After that, they would continue their charade of acting nice in public but disliking each other in private. But they wouldn't dislike each other as much as they used to, with whatever insults they throw at each other not having as much fire as they used to and being able to tolerate each other more and more.
As much as neither of them would want to admit it (mainly Cody), they find themselves drawn to each other.
For Priscilla, she finds a bit of excitement that Cody can see through her and doesn't put up with her attitude without one to match. She finds it fun and sees Cody as something of a worthy opponent.
For Cody, Priscilla is the one person he is comfortable enough to truly be himself around, to show all parts to, the good and the bad parts of him. He can openly show his flaws and imperfections and not worry.
Eventually, their attitudes and secret insults toward each other become more playful and almost flirtatious.
Possibly develop a friends with benefits type relationship, under the agreement of simply trying to let off some steam from their stressful lives. Priscilla with her mother's demands and Cody with being perfect. Nothing more than that. At least that's what they claim.
Eventually the more they spend time together, the more comfortable they would be around each other, the more they realize they might love like each other more than they thought.
Priscilla would totally make the first move, as she's more honest with her feelings and Cody struggles being honest with himself, but he really does like her.
I can actually see Priscilla flirt with other guys to deliberately make Cody jealous as a way to try to get Cody to admit to her how he feels and actually do something about it.
Cody knows fully well what she's doing and is angrier at how it works than her actually doing it.
Don't worry, once Cody admit he likes her and starts dating her, Priscilla wouldn't flirt with anyone other than him.
They would keep their relationship a secret for a while. Cody would feel bad about doing that, but is worried at how his family and the bots would react to him dating. Priscilla agrees since she knows her mother would be furious that she's with Cody.
Plus, there is a bit of thrill of sneaking behind their families backs and being able to be together right under everyone's noses.
Priscilla would actually be a big help with Cody letting go of his toxic perfectionism. Since Priscilla has seen the good and bad parts of him, and still likes him, he helps him believe that others would too.
Eventually, once Cody's comfortable enough, he would make his relationship with Priscilla and love for her public, not caring if others like it or not.
And once their relationship is public, they would be happy and comfortable with PDA and would be a happy, healthy couple. Things aren't perfect, but they don't mind.
Sorry if this is sloppy, but I still hope you enjoyed reading.
