Don't be a snitch (Gene)

[Deleted]

Grayson snorted at the teen's 'insult', "Right, now try again, and call me something that might actually hurt my feelings." If Gene calling him out on his rude or mean behavior was meant to actually be hurtful or get any kind of reaction out of him he was wrong. Gray typically used calling himself an ass as a means of introduction. He chuckled at the kid's reaction to the picture, shit, he had it bad, and over Kodi too. What a loser.


Once the phone was tucked safely back into his coat pocket he shrugged at the boy, "My photo, my say. And I say you're done." He'd hold onto the fact that he was so invested in the photos, though, it might come in handy later down the road. "If I'm trash I wonder how they feel about you," he would beat up on the kid all he wanted, especially if he was the one who initiated it. The desire was only increased by Gene's taunt and Gray began to crawl over the bed toward the boy ignoring the fact that Kodi was now awake.


Though he did pause in his pursuit towards the boy after Kodi began to speak. He backed up off the bed, glaring at his friend while he did so but turning it back to Gene when he accused him of starting it. "Oh, fuck you," he said exasperatedly, he didn't even try to reroute the blame as he didn't feel it necessary to. It wasn't as if either of the boy's in the room had the power to do anything to him.

Grayson straightened up when Kodi asked why he was there, not entirely appreciating the tone he was speaking with. "You think you're in /any/ position to tell me where I'm allowed to be Tubs?" He sneered down at him before pinching his nose and grinning at him. "As if I would miss seeing your pathetic ass laid up in bed."


He didn't want to bring up his supplying of the booze quite yet, not with the brat here. Though he did want to thoroughly 'explain' that next time Kodi planned on doing something quite so stupid he not tie his name into it that way. He was slightly guilty about it... but it was feeling he chose not acknowledge further than that.

Fortunately for both of the boys’ sakes, Kodi remained oblivious to the photo-sharing information they had had just previous to him waking up. He would not be pleased to learn that those kinds of pictures of him still existed, nor that his little princess had just seen one of them. It wouldn’t matter that he liked the stupid photo – those days were embarrassing!

“I don’t care whose fault it is, just please stop fuckin’ yelling,” he grunted, covering his ears with his hands. “I’m never gonna get better if I gotta deal with your damn bickerin’.” He did hear Gene’s complaints, though, and gave Gray a look, especially at the mention of the younger boy being touched. “Careful with him, Grayson, he’s got rich parents and will sue the hell out of you if he wants,” he warned with a small chuckle. He didn’t feel like taking sides, especially considering they were both pretty bratty and it was impossible for Kodi to know who to believe.

He gave a thin smile up to his princess when Gene handed him the drink, and took a couple of greedy sips before letting out a snort at the rich boy’s comment. “I’m not surprised,” he said wryly. “I never would’ve let you two in the same room together if I’d’ve had a say in it.” It came as no surprise to him at all that they were clashing, their personalities did not go together well at all.

He turned back to Grayson, still feeling bleary and disoriented from just being forcefully woken up. Kodi sighed and huffed out in a lack of amusement as his nose was pinched, swatting Gray’s hand away with a scowl. “Whatever, thanks for visitin’ and whatever, I guess,” he replied, genuinely flattered that the older boy had come out of his way to see him, but refusing to give that away. “I’m just thinkin’ one of you should leave for at least a little while so you don’t both get kicked outta here permanently for makin’ such a racket.” He wasn’t going to ask a certain one of them to leave, though, so he’d probably just created more bickering rather than less.

“Gladly, butt-face!” As if that was any better. Gene’s ability to fling childish insults was second to none, but hell if any of them were good or original. “Doody-head! Squinty-eyes! Mega-Schnoz!” First rate name calling right there, followed by the classic sticking out of the tongue just to finish him off. He deserved it, for not letting Gene see more of that picture! “But I wanna see it!” he protested. “Jerk!” If he wasn’t in the middle of a battle of the juveniles, then he would’ve tried bribing the older boy, but Gene was much too riled up to be thinking of solutions outside of making demands.

But then he had to go and bring Gene’s parents into it, and Gene just wasn’t having it! “I’ll rip your pretty little eyes out for that!” he cried, trying to pull away from Grayson’s grasp. Gene didn’t know what would’ve happened if Kodi hadn’t woken up and essentially saved him from certain doom. Granted, after that whole exchange, Gene was feeling winded and tired and just didn’t want to do anything anymore. He was probably sweating too, wehhhh~

He scowled at the exchange between the other boy and Kodi. “That’s right!” he confirmed Kodi’s ‘helpful’ advice to the Grayson boy. “I’ll turn you in for assault! Then I’ll sue your ass for millions!” As if he needed the money, Gene just wanted to see the dip-wad suffer. He straightened his mussed up hair and then got the drink that Kodi asked for.

Gene growled and glared and sneered at the poor excuse for a human being standing across from him. “I think that guy should leave,” he ‘suggested’. “Why are you friends with this punk anyway. He’s mean, and violent, and arrogant, and selfish, and a brat...!” Who was he describing again? “And he won’t let me see your picture!” he whined, because that was obviously the most important part of the whole conflict.

His hand pressed against his chest as he let out a loud flamboyant gasp at the boy's childish insults. "Well I /never/," it didn't take an idiot to spot the mocking tone to his voice though his voice always sounded mocking. Though he did wrinkle his nose a bit at his next few insults, "Really, not that's just overkill and you sound like an idiot. Your eyes are as squinty as mine are. In fact, everyone in this room probably fits that description. You have to be dumber than Kodi and that's just really fucking sad."

He rolled his eyes at the boy's threats, smiling a bit at how utterly helpless the little snot was. "Oh! So you admit they're pretty?" he grinned condescendingly at the boy. He was tempted to bully him more but it was around this time that Kodi was roused awake.

Grayson really couldn't care less if Kodi knew he'd shown his old photos to Gene and he'd like to see him try and make him give a shit. It just wasn't happening and he was sure the slightly younger male knew that, Gray had never been the type to not do something simply because someone else didn't want him to.

Again he sneered at the boy laid up in bed, "Me bickering doesn't have anything to do with your dumb ass getting laid up in a hospital," and therefore it was not his responsibility to stop for his sake. Not that he would have even if he did consider himself at fault. "Try it," he said turning back to the other boy, his agitation levels were rising again and quickly, he blamed it on Gene's high pitched whines. "You were the first one to touch me and my shirt's ruined I probably have a better chance in court than you do. Especially if you try to open your bratty mouth."

Grayson didn't think they would clash nearly as much if Gene hadn't been so fucking possessive over Kodi, which he had absolutely no room to complain. He was so possessive over the guy he'd practically made Kodi dependent on him when they first met. "You trying to keep me hidden Kodi," he grinned spitefully at the male as he teased, "Am I your dirty little secret? How cruel. I thought we had something."

He was quite used to Kodi's behaviors and even if the male tried to hide his feelings about his visit with flippancy he saw through him. He puckered his lips at Kodi, "I missed you too." Though his judging slight aggravated expressed returned at his statement that one of them should leave, attention snapping to the other boy in the room at his loud declaration that Grayson should be the one to leave. He regarded him with a similar amount of disgust and a challenging tone, "How do you plan on making that happen. Cause I'm rather comfortable where I am."

Maybe Kodi shouldn’t have said anything about Gene suing Gray. He groaned and covered his face as that just led to more bickering; he was tempted to smother both of their faces so they would just shut up. “Okay, okay, that’s enough,” he growled. “Gene, you’re not gonna arrest anyone unless he actually hurt you. Physically, not just your pride,” he added with a knowing look. He turned over to Grayson. “And you… I’ll buy you a new damn shirt, will that make you happy?” Probably with Gene’s money, if he could. Kodi somehow was still oblivious to the marker on his face, not yet noticing the marks on either of the boys.

Ugh…. Who had ever let these two in the same room together…?

He scoffed at Gray’s suggestion that Kodi had been ‘keeping him secret’. “Not purposefully,” he admitted. “Gene just doesn’t like it when I talk about my other… You know… Partners, so you never really came up.” The only guy that the dentokinetic usually mentioned was Gryph, and then only occasionally. “It’s not like I told you about him, neither,” he added, jerking his thumb towards Gene. So fair was fair, right?

His hand snuck under the blanket towards Gene and stealthily found the younger boy’s hand, interlacing their fingers beside the bed so Gray wouldn’t notice (hopefully). “… Find, whatever, I missed you,” he sniffed with a moody frown. “It’s been a while, I’m sorry. Been busy.” Being miserable when he wasn’t at Gene’s, mostly.

He had to let out a small laugh at all the words that Gene was using to describe Gray. “Are you talkin’ about him, or me?” he asked wryly. “I think a lotta those words can be used for me too.” Thanks to Gray corrupting him as a kid. He was about to try and break up the bickering that begun over who should leave, but the last thing that the younger boy said made him pause with a confused frown. “What picture?” he asked warily, looking over at Gray. “You ain’t showin’ him that perverted shit you do in the bedroom, are you?” Kodi knew how much of a creep Grayson was, taking very explicit pictures and saving them for his own pleasure. Although he doubted Gene would want to see those, so he was still very confused.

“Feh! Of course I’m ‘dumber’ than Kodi,” he admitted, though it sounded more like he was saying so with pride. Whose pride? “Kodi’s the smartest guy I know! Smarter than you too, I’ll bet!” It didn’t take a genius to figure out Kodi was more intelligent than he let on, especially if you spent any amount of time with the boy from day to day. “He even does the voices when he reads,” he again said proudly. As if that had anything to do with anything.

“Yah! Pretty ugly!” he countered with all the passion of a 12-year-old. He would have kept going but their fight was interrupted…not quite, but that part of it was, at least.

Gray had a good darn argument towards his ‘innocence’, but Gene was stubborn and wasn’t about to give up either. “I only did that because you were saying stupid shit!” he argued, again pointing his finger accusingly. “And I was only defending Kodi because you were drawing because you were drawing on him! So your argument is invalid!” Clearly, Gene had forgotten that he was drawing on Kodi just as much. In his obstinate fit, Gene wasn’t thinking through his arguments anymore and just saying whatever came to mind first.

It was terrible that Kodi was the most mature, rational person in the room at the moment. How’d that happen? “I’m not…!” Gene started, but then snapped his mouth shut at the look Kodi gave him. Fine, Gene would shut up, but he didn’t have to like it! He actually managed to stay quiet through (some of) Kodi’s conversation with Gray about ‘keeping him secret’. Of course Gene didn’t like hearing about Kodi’s other partners, but he sure as hell hated seeing them show up and demand fucking rights to him even more! Right there in front of Gene! Grrrr..

It was Kodi’s hand touching his that reeled in Gene’s childish temper so that he didn’t completely explode at the even more depraved being in the room. Even while Kodi was talking to Gray, that he still managed to show affection to the younger boy….Gene couldn’t hide the slight blush that came from it. “M-maybe….” he said with his never ending scowl. “He’s even worse though, is what I mean. He can’t be conducive to you recovering, I guarantee it.” And so that’s why Gray needed to leave! At least Gene had calmed down somewhat. He rubbed his thumb affectionately over Kodi’s, while not making any effort to hide it, also not pulling it out to make it obvious. “That picture,” he explained, explaining nothing. At least not immediately. “That picture of you with the glasses and tummy. He said it was when you first came to Hammel.” Gene glared at Gray again. “And he won’t let me see it!” he whined.

Most of the time Grayson spoke to anyone outside of his friend group it was either to get information or piss them off. Obviously, Gene had found himself in the latter category and Gray's antagonizing and teasing was working spectacularly, "Voices, oh my!" He cried out exaggeratedly, "Give him a fucking prize, he reads his brat to sleep every night."

Several sharpies were launched at Gene once the younger teen began commenting on the drawings, "Shut it, kid!" He had some ball spoiling his fun like that, ugh, honestly how the hell did anyone spend time with him without screaming?

He stuck his tongue out at Gene, feeding off the younger teen's childish attitude, when Kodi 'reprimanded' him, sadly assuming the role of the most mature person in the room. "Only if it's a nice shirt that shows off how pretty I am," he batted his eyelashes at Kodi with a mocking smirk.

Afterwards, when he was less miffed about the loss of his shirt and challenge to the priority of his and Kodi's relationship, he would probably be happy that he ran into Kodi's little 'friend'. After all, he provided the possibility of future entertainment... possibly at Kodi's expense.

He considered Kodi's logic, strong as usual, but it didn't matter how much sense he made Gray didn't make habits of agreeing with Kodi or anyone for that matter. "Yeah, but I don't give a shit. If you tried to give me a list of everyone you were sleeping with I would be here all day and frankly, I have better things planned." In fact, he had no things planned but sitting on a bed of needles sounded better than listening to what Kodi spent his time doing.

Grayson cooed and pet Kodi's hair some more, most of his interactions with the younger male could be considered mocking or antagonizing but that was just how their friendship went. "That's much better. I forgive you," he said with a grin, though as was typical with his expressions there was something taunting about it.

His glare went from Kodi and Gene, he couldn't figure out quite where to focus his contempt, "Shut up, stop talking about them!" He wasn't even sure how aware Kodi was of the existence of the photos from when they first met. "No! I wasn't. It's none of your business anyway," he sniffed at his friend before looking fiercely at Gene attempting to urge him to stop talking.
