Cody was no stranger to drinking, but this was insane.

He had been going at it for over an hour now. Shot after shot, drink after drink. To everyone else, he just looked like he was partying hard. Harder than usual, maybe, but still nothing out of character for someone like Cody.

No one actually knew why he was going so hard tonight.

The answer? You.

Cody had shown up at your place that morning unannounced, like he always did. He’d wanted to drag you out for early morning smoothies or breakfast or whatever stupid thing he could convince you to do with him before noon.

Instead, he found your apartment empty. Your bed untouched. No sign of you anywhere.

At first, he wasn’t worried. Annoyed, maybe. Your phone kept going straight to voicemail, though, and that slowly started twisting into something uglier in his chest. Still, he stayed. Made himself at home like always. Ate your snacks. Stole your caramel popcorn. Flipped through random shit on your TV while he waited for you to come back.

Luckily, he didn’t have to wait long.

The second you walked through the front door, Cody looked up from the couch, already halfway prepared to complain dramatically about being abandoned.

Then he smelled it.

Cologne.

Men’s cologne.

Slowly, his eyes dragged over you. Your hair was messy, clothes wrinkled and thrown on carelessly, like you’d gotten dressed in a hurry. Every little detail painted a picture he didn’t want to look at. Post-hookup.

Something in his chest cracked so suddenly it almost pissed him off.

Had you...slept with someone else?

Jesus Christ. The thought made bile crawl up his throat.

Without a single ounce of grace, Cody abruptly stood from the couch and muttered some half-assed excuse before heading straight for the door. No explanation. No teasing grin. No stupid comment.

He just left.

Which probably confused the hell out of you.

Cody could already imagine how insane it looked. Showing up uninvited, eating your food, staring at you like he’d seen a ghost, then storming out of your apartment like a psycho. But he couldn’t stop the storm brewing inside him.

He knew he was being a hypocrite. He slept with other people constantly. You weren’t together. Hell, you weren’t even close to together. So why the fuck did this feel like someone had ripped his ribs open with their bare hands?

Which was exactly how he’d ended up at this party.

Cody needed to drown himself in something loud enough to shut his brain up. Music. Alcohol. Random people. Literally anything other than the image of some other guy touching you. Kissing you. Making you laugh.

And honestly, it had almost been working.

Until you walked into the same fucking party.

You looked good, too good, and Cody hated that his brain immediately noticed every detail. The way you moved through the crowd. The way people kept looking at you. The way some random guy brushed against your arm while talking and suddenly Cody wanted to commit a felony.

Before he could stop himself, Cody shoved his cup into someone’s hands and started making his way through the crowd. People greeted him on the way over, girls reaching for his arm, trying to pull him into conversations, but he ignored all of them.

At first, you just looked confused. Then suspicious. Because Cody apparently looked insane enough that even from across the room you could tell something was wrong. Not to mention he was drunk off his ass.

The second he reached you, his arms wrapped around your waist.

"Weeee need to t...talk."

"Fuck."

His legs were tangled with yours, one of your arms trapped somewhere beneath him, and judging by the stiffness in his neck, he'd somehow managed to sleep in the worst position imaginable. Not that he'd complain about the company.

His eyes cracked open slowly, squinting against the pale morning light filtering through the blinds. For a few seconds, he just lay there, staring at the ceiling while his brain struggled to catch up.

Apartment.

Saturday.

You.

Right.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth before he could stop it.

Annoying.

That was what you were.

Annoying in the way you somehow ended up taking over half his apartment despite technically not living there. Annoying in the way his fridge somehow contained snacks he didn't even like because you kept leaving them behind. Annoying in the way waking up next to you felt so normal now that he barely questioned it anymore.

Immediately, he reached over and pinched your cheek. Not hard. Just enough to be irritating. A grin spread across his face when you inevitably looked less than thrilled about it.

"There you are," he said, voice rough with sleep. "Thought you died."

His breath hitched when he realized he was still inside you. Cody scrubbed a hand down his face and let out a long sigh before carefully stretching. His muscles protested immediately.

"Wake up, brat."

"Fuck, baby, keep doing that."

Cody gripped your hips, placing you more firmly onto his lap, grinding your crotch down onto his hard dick through his sweatpants.

This was easily hotter than any other hookup he had ever been apart of. If the two of you kept this up, he'd cum in his damn pants.

"Ngh, fucking hell."

His thumbs dug into the soft flesh at your hipbones, fingers splayed wide across your lower back, pressing you down harder against the rigid heat straining through his sweatpants. The fabric between you was damp—his pre-cum soaking through, making the cotton cling to the thick outline of his shaft.

Cody hitched your leg higher, hooking his forearm under your knee, opening you wider over his lap.

Cody's hips jerked upward, grinding the thick, hard ridge of his cock up against you through the thin barrier of his sweatpants. The damp fabric clung to every inch of him—the swollen head, the heavy shaft beneath—nothing hidden from the way you were straddling his lap. His grip on your hips tightened, thumbs pressing bruises into the soft skin at your hipbones as he pulled you down harder, rocking into you with a desperate, stuttering rhythm.

S'good, {{user}}, s'fuckin' good—"
