Don't be a snitch (Gene)

[Deleted]

It was never very obvious if their relationship could be called a friendship. Grayson tended to think of it as such, the two weren't very good at standard friendships anyway so maybe it was as close to it as they would get. He had gone home with Jason to visit their mother and younger sister and had been back only a few hours when he found himself at the hospital.

The fact that Kodi was in the hospital hadn't taken very long to get to him and was confirmed when he texted him. Though, his friend had been asleep when he got there, moved out of ICU and into a room for him to rest and continue to work the toxins out of his body, Gray had sat on a stool beside him for a while (he kicked his bed once to try and wake him up but he quit when he decided that wouldn't work).

"Fuck it," he sighed and left the room disappearing from the hospital and walking down to a store nearby. He came back rather quickly armed with a new array of recently purchased sharpies. He stuffed them into his jacket so the nurses wouldn't be suspicious when he came back.

"Last chance to wake up and talk to me," he whispered to the sleeping figure as he uncapped a red sharpie and hovered it over his lips, "Come on Tubby~" He began to sketch small triangles under his lips to make it look like fangs.

The door opened behind opened behind him and he froze, peering over his shoulder to look at who it might be. Oh, thank fuck it wasn't a nurse, "If you're here you know him and wanna do this just as much as I do." Grayson held out a marker for him, "So either help or get out. Remember what happens to snitches."

Gene was carrying a take-out bag from one of the local restaurants. He figured that Kodi would eat anything, so he got whatever they recommended. Gene was glad that the older boy had finally been moved out of ICU and into a normal in-patient room. Those were much more spacious in comparison, even if only by a few square feet. Those few feet made a difference. And with Gene’s influence(bribes), he managed to get Kodi a private room. Gene didn’t know if he could tolerate sharing a space with an old lady who lacked control over her bowels.

He sent a text to Kodi letting him know he was on his way. When Kodi didn’t respond, Gene assumed he was asleep, so took his sweet time at the restaurant getting himself something as well…which was an experience Gene didn’t want to repeat. There was a reason why Gene only ever ate at home. Anyway, he made his way through the hospital to the room where Kodi was resting.

When he opened the door, surprisingly there was another person there. Someone he didn’t recognize and therefore someone he didn’t know. But who apparently knew Kodi. And who was about as ugly as Kodi was too, mind you. Gene sneered in disgust at this lowlife, snatching the marker away from him. “Like hell. He’s still recovering and you want me to risk giving him ink poisoning?” Gene set the bag of take-out on the small rolling table beside the bed then rounded to the opposite side. “……..who are you?” he asked, scowling down at the marks the other kid already made. Heh…they were appropriate, at least.

[Deleted]

Grayson sighed exaggeratedly, obviously, he got the one straight edge friend Kodi had, and he was no fun at all. He sneered right back when he snatched the marker away, "Don't act so concerned. He's in a hospital, so it's not like he'll have to go anywhere if he does get poisoned." He pulled another marker out of his jacket and flipped the younger boy his middle finger before turning back down to his canvas.

"Grayson," he said simply using the brown marker he had procured to begin drawing a curly handlebar moustache along his face. "I gave him fair warning," he said flicking his eyes up to the only other awake occupant of the room. "I said if he didn't wake his ugly ass up I was gonna do something to him." And he had decided that rubbing his dick on him was not as funny as this because it wasn't like he'd figure it out unless he left him a note.

He dropped a few markers onto the bed so that he could switch out colors easier but kept the rest hidden on his person in case this guy tried to confiscate more. "So..." he said, capping his marker and stepping back to admire his penmanship, "Who are you, how long have you been screwing Tubby here, and do you think it would be innappropriate to draw a scrotum on his chin?"

[Deleted]

Great. Another delinquent lowlife. Gene should’ve known Kodi’s friends were as crude as he was. At least his name wasn’t as stupid as Kodiak’s. Not that Kodiak was stupid, but Gene wasn’t going to tell him any different. “He’s asleep,” Gene pointed out. “How’s he supposed to know you’re threatening him if…..you know what, never mind.” Gene could already tell it was pointless to argue with this one. He was even stupider than Kodi was.

Gene mostly watched the other boy in silence, not condoning his…activity, but also not stopping him either. Truthfully, Gene found it amusing, even if his better sense told him it was wrong. He kept his disapproving frown, though, as he watched Grayson scribble on the face of the sleeping idiot, then blinked up at the question(which was actually three questions rolled into one).

He held up a finger – not the same one Grayson had earlier, but his index – and spoke, raising his middle then ring in success as he responded to each one. “Eugene Harrison Whitaker,” he started, offering his full name as proudly as he ever did. “None of your business. And no.” Gene glanced down at Kodi’s ugly sleeping face and considered. “Unless you do it right,” he continued, removing the cap from the pen he stole and taking its fine felt point to the dentokinetic’s chin. “His chin isn’t big enough,” he explained, then blinked up at Grayson briefly, his scowl still in place. “Unless you were going for a micropenis.” Gene returned his attention to Kodi’s chin, and soon his cheek where the girth of said scrotum ended up extending to.

[Deleted]

There was a shrug, he didn't even thing Kodi hung out with people like this, the kind that questioned whether a fun idea was good or bad. He looked back at him as the guy attempted to rationalize why Kodi couldn't answer as if Gray couldn't figure that out himself. "I realize. But I also don't give a shit and I just wanna draw on this idiot's face."

Grayson tapped the marker against his lips as he -Eugene, apparently, what a gay ass name- answered his questions. "So, not long, then?" He guessed despite Eugene saying it was none of his business, he had yet to meet this one and Kodi had readily introduced him to his other fuck buddy, Jackson or whatever.

He watched in amused interest as Eugene finally gave in and started drawing on the man's sleeping face. Gray chuckled, "Hell yes, nice pair." He got a bit closer to inspect, "He almost looks like a chicken."

A very odd chicken.

After dumping the markers all the way onto the bed he dug around for a pretty blue color. "But I think he needs eyeshadow" He held it up and waggled his eyebrows at Eugene, "You in for giving him a much needed makeover?"

[Deleted]

It wasn’t so much that he was questioning it….well, maybe he was, but Gene was also un-used to this sort of ‘delinquent’ behavior. One rule he had was that Kodi could hang out with him as much as he wanted so long as he kept his delinquency out of Gene’s life.

So much for that rule, as it’d been broken too many times already. Gene was at the point of just not caring anymore.

He wasn’t sure if he should be irritated or amused by this fellow. He could go ether way, honestly. Could it be both? Was that allowed? Gene’s frown only deepened. “I could have been fucking him for years and it still wouldn’t be any of your business,” he defended with an offended raise of his upper lip. He hated that it was so obvious that they’d only known each other for a couple months…

Had it really only been a couple months…? They’d done so much together, it felt like a couple lifetimes somehow.

Gene normally didn’t like it when people watched him draw, and this time was no different. Well, slightly different. Gene blushed at the simple compliment, but kept his eyes down on his ‘canvas’. “Chickens look better,” he grumbled. He was finally torn away from his work by the sudden appearance of a whole mess of colored markers on the bed, and his eyes glittered at them for just a moment before looking up at the person who dumped them there, his mouth gaping slightly in a stupefied daze. Gene glanced at Kod’s stupid sleeping face. “…..it might be an improvement,” he sad finally. He capped the marker he had and started sorting through the colored ones, picking out the ones he wanted for himself. “….what if he wakes up?” he asked.

[Deleted]

A delinquent? Maybe, he might not be a minor anymore but he was still just as much a troublemaker as he had ever been. Grayson just wasn't the kind of guy who was able to entertain himself through what would be considered good or normal, sure, he liked to collect Pokemon and comic books, but he also had his...outside sources of entertainment. Sources that Kodi had inherited from the time they spent in school together, from when Gray had steadily poisoned him from the inside out and turned him into someone they could both enjoy.

Eugene seemed, well he seemed to be a bit of a brat, and he could see where Kodi's attraction in him would be. He imagined he must be fun to have around. And Gray was inclined to say that he kinda liked the guy, even with the snooty disposition. What he did not like though-maybe he should have been more forgiving considering Gene did not know him- was that he seemed to think he was in any position to be telling him what was or wasn't his business. Especially regarding Kodi.

"Well," he said sourly, upper lip curled into an almost snarl, "it definitely hasn't been years." For several reasons, the most predominant being that they had yet to meet, and Gray didn't particularly remember this one being mentioned. "I make a lot of things about the kid my business so," he smirked and twirled the marker between his fingers as an added flourish, "I'd just get used to it."

Gray resumed his 'artistry', this time on Kodi's arm, beginning the curves of a rather cutesy pile of poop. "You are right about that," he snorted, letting the earlier agitation flow away, he winked at the boy once he caught sight of just how many markers he had been storing inside his jacket.

"Definitely an improvement," he nodded, and turned to tsk at the boy's sleeping face, "though anything is an improvement." Grayson shrugged, "He'll probably just blame me, so you can just pretend you didn't do it and I'll promise to let him screw me or something later."

[Deleted]

Gene’s scowl became ever scowlier and he knit his eyebrows in a sharp glare. “I didn’t say it had,” he clarified. “Regardless of whether it’s been years or since yesterday, it’s not the business of a brown-noser like you.” Just because he made Kodi’s business his own, didn’t mean he was privy to Gene’s at the same time. “I’d prefer not to,” he said blandly when urged to simply ‘get used to it’. This guy couldn’t tell him what to do.

At least he was mildly amusing. Gene would be lying if he said he wasn’t incredibly interested in the activity of drawing on the sleeping dentokinetic. That and…there were so many colors! It excited Gene enough that a few glimmers of orange managed to break through from his aura. He was already forming an idea of what he wanted to draw in his head. Gene just needed a large enough place to do it.

While they…talked, he supposed he could call it, Gene pulled back the blanket over Kodi’s torso and pulled up the stupid checkered prink gown they’d stuck him in, making sure to keep the ‘delicate’ areas covered still by the blanket. Kod’s stomach was plenty large and smooth. He rolled the many colors in his right hand, then took one in his left, uncapping it and putting the point to those muscular abs. Gene stopped drawing, however, at that last “offer” Grayson made. For Kodi to—screw him? Gene scowled again, much fiercer than before and swiped out with the green marker he was using, slashing Gray across the cheek and leaving a long green mark in it’s wake. “No,” he said firmly. Again, Gene knew Kodi had other partners…but he certainly didn’t want to hear about them, especially not from one of them himself.

[Deleted]

As if this scrawny brat held anything close to intimidation over him, maybe that's what made his scowling expression so simultaneously amusing and aggravating. Grayson scoffed, and rolled his eyes as he added a smile and cute button eyes to the poop pile he'd been concentrating on. "Well," he said with a sigh and capped the brown pen in his hand and exchanging it for a baby pink so that he could add blush to his creation, "whether or not you get used to it. It's going to happen." And it was really just Gene's problem if he chose to get upset about it.

Gray watched in curiousity as the colors around the boy changed, he had chosen not to comment on it when he entered the room, because well you just got used to people being weird around here. He looked down as Gene pulled up the nightgown, smirking at the muscled torso that Kodi had gained, he remembered when it was a soft little pudge.

He was working diligently on yet another needlessly happily and childlike drawing on the Kodi's upper arm, this time of a walking penis. When he felt the marker swipe across his cheek he paused, his own writing utensil still in hand. He looked over at the teen, his empty hand clenching into a fist, "What the fuck do you mean /no/." He was tempted to just hit the young man, but no, he was an adult now. An adult who had markers.

Quickly, he reached forward to grab the back of his head, aiming to pull him closer so that he could squiggle his own marker down the boy's face.

[Deleted]

Despite lacking the any physical factor to appear any sort of intimidating to anyone, Gene didn’t let that stop him from clearly expressing his displeasure with others in the form of sneers and glares and bratty words. He was better than them anyway, he had the right to tell them exactly how stupid and wrong they were! And if they didn’t agree, then….then he basically couldn’t do much more than threaten to tell an authority figure. Like his lawyer. If they didn’t like his attitude, there wasn’t much they could do about it either! He was completely confident that nobody would beat him up or get physical with him, not unless they wanted him to tack an assault charge onto his complaint and have their asses thrown in prison forever! Gene would do it too.

Especially to this punk, who thought he had the right to talk to him like he was worth anything. “That’s what you think. You’re not as special as you think you are.” Only to himself, obviously. Why did Kodi have a friend like him anyway? “….How do I know you’re even Kodi’s friend?” he asked, sending Gray a wary look of suspicion. “For all I know, you’re just a delusional street rat who imagined your whole friendship with him.” Given this guy’s self-important attitude, Gene wouldn’t doubt it. Not like Gene was any less self-important, but he was an exception.

That attitude of his broke through again when Gray presumed that Kodi would forgive him of anything just for a quick fuck. Shouldn’t he ask Kodi that first instead of making the decision for him? And for Gene too? Gene straightened from his drawing, having only gotten about halfway through his chibi-character scene(obviously of the Great Gene reigning supreme over the Pathetic Kodi), and dipped his chin slightly as his glare intensified. “Exactly what it sounds like. Or do you need a dictionary?” he taunted, holding his own marker tight in his grip.

He was caught by surprise by Gray’s sudden movement, even though he’d been looking straight at him, and whined like a kid as his head was pulled forward and scribbled on with the felt marker. “Stooooop…!!” he squealed with his face twisted into a horrid look of distress. Gene flailed out with his own marker to try and stab the guy on the back of the neck and grind the soft point down his back. The tip would be ruined, but it would be worth it to get back at this dreadfully, obscene person!

[Deleted]

Assault, yes that was very tempting at the moment, he'd been amused with Gene at first and still was to a slight degree. He had the right spark to get Gray to like him, what with the teasing back, and the insulting comments, yeah that was the kind of stuff he liked in a person. A little bite, if you will. He just didn't know how he felt about this guy telling him what was or wasn't his business, /everything/ was his business. Whether this guy liked it or not.

Also, he was sure if this kind opened his mouth in front of a judge he'd probably get acquitted on the basis that Gene probably fucking deserved it.

It would probably be pretty humorous to anyone who knew the both of them to see them snapping at each other like this because they seemed to have a very similar personality (at least as far as self-importance went). Because Gray was thinking the same thing, that Gene had zero right to call his relationship with Kodi into question. He had no clue the history they had together, or what Kodi had even been like before Gray came into the picture.

Gray straightened up, there wasn't much of height difference between them, but he was twice his size. "I got photo evidence," he said finally, hostility melting away with a conspiratorial grin and pulled out his phone, "Have you ever seen Tubs from when he first came to Hammel."

He snorted again and shook his head, "I know /what/ it means, but I don't know what you mean by saying that." Did this kid think he was the only one screwing Kodi or something, was he delusional?
Despite the guy's squeals, Gray scribbled ruthlessly across his face down his nose and cheek, "Shit!" He cursed, slapping at Gene's hand when he felt him stab the marker into the back of his neck. Gray made to shove the guy away from him, "What the hell you stupid little brat!"

[Deleted]

Gene wasn’t sure he liked this punk. He was worse than Kodi. At least Kodi…well, no, Kodi was just as bad when they first met and annoyed the shit out of Gene with his presumptuousness, and then followed him home and pretty much helped himself to Gene’s virginity. At that point, Gene had agreed because he was bored and found it amusing.

This guy, while not boring at all either, was about ten times as aggravating and twenty times more presumptuous. Or maybe Gene just thought he was since Gray seemed to be somewhat closer to Kodi than Gene was, and was actually privy to more about him than Gene was. Gray was even imperious enough to boast about photos that he knew Gene didn’t have in his phone. Of course Gene had photos…but not many since most of the ones Kodi sent him were of his dick and those got deleted almost instantly every time.

However the notice of just what sort of photos Gray was hoarding had Gene raising an eyebrow in interest. “….of course not,” he growled as if this punk ought to know that already. “He’s older than me.” By at least two years. Still, Gene leaned forward with a glare of curiosity. “Show me,” he demanded, like it was his right to see them.

Again, Gene knew he wasn’t the only one ‘screwing’ Kodi, but that didn’t mean he had to like it. “I’m allowed to protest to an idea I don’t approve of, and I did,” he explained, not truly explaining anything. Because Gene himself didn’t get why it was irritating him more and more lately knowing that Kodi had so many other partners. His outburst with the marker had been a product of that irrational feeling, a mistake he only vaguely regretted just because of where it landed him: being assaulted by a foul-mouthed hoodlum!!

“Weeehhh!! Lemme go stooooop!!” he cried, squirming under the uncomfortable contact the hoodlum made against his delicate neck and face. He scribbled the marker across Gray’s back and neck, likely marking up his shirt terribly, before he was finally released in an even more terrible, violent way. “You jerk! I’ll sue! I’ll have you arrested! You’re gonna regret laying a finger on me!” Gene wailed, jabbing his very own menacing finger into the thug’s chest.

[Deleted]

It was very likely that Gray was, in fact, worse than Kodi, he'd put money on it. After all, Gray had been this way forever, Kodi had needed a nudge in the right direction from the right person (Gray). He would be glad to hear that he still surpassed his student on the scales of aggravation and arrogance, otherwise, he might be devastated those were the only things other than his dazzling good looks he had going for him.

Grayson was a bit of a photo junkie, he was constantly filling his phone with various pictures of those close to him (some pictures involving very graphic material) to the point where he even had to transfer files to his computer in order to keep taking them on his phone. The only old ones he kept on his phone regularly were the ones during the very early years of Hammel when he first met Kodi and then a few from when he met Oriel as well.

"Ohoho~" Grayson chortled, retrieving his phone from his pocket and clutched it to his chest like a treasure. "Now you /want/ something from me huh? Okay I'll show you, but only one picture." He flipped through quickly, finding a picture he'd taken several years ago of the young chubby and bespectacled Kodi sitting in his lap. There was a flush to his cheeks and it was obvious that he was overjoyed to be sitting in his (at the times) 'best friend's' lap.

"See," he replied haughtily snatching the phone away quickly and replacing it in his pocket, "I know him /very/ well."

It was soon after this that they found themselves engaged in this marker war, and Grayson was snarling at the young boy as he felt the marker run over his skin and onto his shirt. "I'm gonna protest your parents for having the balls to produce a piece of shit like /you/!"

Ugh, of course, this kid would be a whiny little bitch. He'd started the damn mess and now he was gonna cry about it, what a fucking baby. "For what! You assaulted my face first! I'm defending myself you little punk!" He smacked Gene's hand away from his chest and moved again to grab him, but slammed his other hand down rather brutally onto Kodi's leg in the process. "Get your ass over here and get what you deserve!"

[Deleted]

Thanks to the mixture of drugs that the nurses gave Kodi, along with his own general fatigue over the events of the last couple days, the dentokinetic slept often, and deeply. Even more deeply than usual, because Kodi was naturally hard to wake up anyway. Gene had probably come to learn that he had about a fifty percent-plus chance of coming across a sleeping boy when he came to visit, which Kodi felt a little bad about because he liked Gene’s company, but the sleep also made all the time he had to spend trapped in the hospital bed more bearable.

He’d remained blissfully unaware of the growing tensions around him for a good while, even as the marker war started and things got louder and more heated. It took the sudden, hard pressure of Gray’s hand on his leg to jolt him awake, and Kodi’s eyes opened with a start. He quickly jerked upright and glared at the two hooligans beside his bed, eyes red and bleary from sleep. His mind was still foggy, and he couldn’t make out their faces perfectly due to his lack of glasses and blurry sleep-vision, but even so, he could immediately tell who had roused him so rudely from his nap.

“What… the fuck… are you two bickerin’ about… And why’re you doin’ it over my bed while I’m tryin’ t’sleep!?” he demanded with a growl. “I oughta call the nurse in here t’kick both’ve you guys outta here until you learn t’behave yourselves. Fuck...” Kodi groaned and rubbed his temples, oblivious to the various marks on his face. He tugged the blanket back up over himself without much thought, and missed where Gene had doodled on his stomach.

“If one of you wanna be useful, you could get me a drink,” he grunted, looking mostly at Gene, who he figured would be a little more likely to listen. Then he glanced at Gray, uncertain how to react to him being here. “…. What’re you doin’ here?” he finally asked with a humph. “I didn’t ask for you t’come an’ see me like this.” Especially since Gray was the one that provided him with the booze that had landed him here in the first place...

[Deleted]

Gene frowned at Gray’s baiting. He only brought up those pictures so he could point out how Gene didn’t have them which only made him even more annoyed. “You’re an ass,” he said leaning in to get a better glimpse of the photo. Gene focused in on the picture, his eyes widening at the image he saw. Kodi was young, practically a baby even! And round. And those glasses. So innocent. So cute. So moe. Gene knew Kodi wore glasses, but Kodi hadn’t ever worn them in front of him before. Even with his nerd-look, Gene found himself blushing at the sight.

Then, just as quickly as it was put before him, the picture was suddenly snatched away and Gene found himself reaching out to the phone to try and grab it. “I wasn’t done looking, dammit!!” he growled. Gene wanted to see more!! Wehhhh!

This guy was a jerk! Not only was he keeping precious pictures of Kod away from Gene, but he was also beating up on the poor boy too, and insulting his parents even! “You leave my parents out of this! They want nothing to do with a piece of trash like you!”

Gene was fully justified in everything he did, it was this guy who didn’t know his place and was picking on a poor innocent princeling! “NO! Make me!” he taunted, pulling away from the jerk. He was so wrapped up with his squabble that he didn’t notice right away when Kodi had woken up finally. From Gray being careless, of course, it wasn’t Gene’s fault at all! And that’s exactly what he intended to make sure Kodi understood when he was roused.

“It’s his fault!” he said with a whine, pointing accusingly at the marker-punk as he stepped away to get the drink he’d gotten with Kodi’s take-out. “He said mean things and grabbed my head!!” By now in their ‘relationship’, Kodi should’ve realized, if he hadn’t been told outright, that Gene hated being touched, especially out of nowhere by people who were essentially strangers! He held the drink out for Kodi, adjusting the straw so the bedridden boy could drink from it with much more ease. “I don’t like him,” he said with an indignant pout, pursing his lips together until they puckered out like a fish’s.
