#1 of Cody & Jason


Hey guys here is my latest work, it's semi finished but because it's taking me so long to finish it, I've decided to upload it in small chapters.

I hope you can all give me suggestions as to how to make adjustments as required.

Tony a thirty year old, Black wolf construction worker, pulled up into the drive of his new home before he looked over into the passenger seat and looked at his young cub that was fast asleep. He reached over and gently stroked his long, soft rabbit ears before he got out and started getting the car unpacked before the removal truck showed up with their furniture.

Once the removal truck left and all of their furniture had been put into the house Tony went back out to the car and took his son into his arms and carried him up to bed and tucked him in before standing at the doorway and watched his son sleeping for a few minutes, Tony was unable to have kids of his own, mostly due to the fact that he wasn't interested in women and that no woman had been interested in giving him a child in the first place. So he did the only thing he could do. He adopted and he found himself falling for the most precious looking baby bunny he'd ever seen. His odd hair colour and his hetrochromia made him stand out amongst the rest of the adoptable children, his left eye was green and his right was blue, his hair was also a mix of the two colours which only made Tony love him all the more and he chose him without hesitation.

Cody became his pride and joy, he loved him with every inch of his being, because Cody was young it meant that when he had to move, the transition wouldn't be too hard. He hoped that being a slightly larger place than his last home that Cody would be able to live a normal life, that he wouldn't be teased too much for having a gay parent.

The next morning Tony got Cody in the car and they set off to his new place of work, it was a construction site just outside of town. Cody sat in the front seat holding onto his little fox plush and occasionally playing with it quietly. When they arrived Tony took Cody by the paw and they walked over to the main office where Tony was met by Max a very important looking Siberian Husky whom was also his new boss. Beside him was a small mini version of his boss around Cody's age holding a little rabbit plush which made Tony smile.

"I'll be right with you." The Husky said as he wrote on some papers before looking up at the Wolf. "Ah you must be Tony and who is this handsome little man?" he asked looking down at Tony's side when his nose twitched at the scent of another's presence. "This is Cody my son." "He's adorable, this is my son, Jason, why don't you boys go and play hmm?" Jason nodded and took the rabbit by the paw and led him outside whilst his dad took a seat along with the larger Husky. "Don't worry they're perfectly safe." The Husky said with a reassuring smile. "Wait, how did?" "It's all over your face, Tony; I can call you Tony can't I?" Tony nodded and smiled a little himself. "You really care for him, I'm sure that you'll enjoy working here with us, we do our best to accommodate for the working family man."

"Ah well, you see I, don't exactly have much in the way of family, I'm not married." "But you have your son, that's family enough." "Uhm thank you."

The adults talked whilst the two cubs made their way around the site just talking and watching the men and the machines at work. "What is your name?" The young Husky asked. "My name is Cody, what's yours?" "I'm called Jason, so why are you a bunny and your daddy is a wolf?" Cody thought about this for a moment, at no point had it ever occurred to him that he and his father were of two different species, it made him a little sad and it must have shown. "I'm sorry, I did not mean to upset you, I like your fox, what do you call him?" Cody looked down at the little fox plush in his paws and smiled slightly. "I call him Benny." Jason chuckled happily and held up his own plush toy and smiled. "I called mine cotton tail, seems silly really since it's a common name for a bunny rabbit, well it is in stories I have read."

The pair continued to talk and walk around the site when their parents finally called upon them. "Cody it's time to go." Tony called from the doorway to the office. The two boys ran towards the office but Cody dropped his plush along the way near a White fox who picked it up out of the dirt and brushed it off as he looked it over then over at the office where the Wolf picked up his son. "Ready to go home?" Tony asked as he petted his bunny. Cody smiled and nuzzled into the Wolf before he noticed that his paw was empty. "Daddy, I've lost Benny." He whimpered "Don't worry we'll find him." Tony tried to reassure his son.

"Did you drop something little one?" The fox asked as he approached them. The fox was not overly tall, maybe around 5ft 11, he had a fair build on him which could have been down to his line of work mostly. His fur was a pure white despite the dirt of the day staining it slightly and he had an amazing pair of blue eyes which caught Tony slightly off guard. "Benny!" Cody cried out as the fox handed over the slightly dirty plush toy. "Thank you uhm..." "Martin and it's not a problem." The fox stood upright and looked over at Tony and smiled. Tony was a big guy even by a Wolf's standards, built mostly of muscle with jet black fur and piercing yellow eyes he looked down upon the fox and made him shiver a little. "Your kid?" He asked Tony smiled and nodded, "Yeah, very much so, thanks for returning Benny." "Benny such a cute name, speaking of names what's yours?" "Tony pleased to meet you." "Pleased to meet you too, listen I get off in an hour or so, maybe you'd like to go out for a drink?"

Tony smiled and cocked his head to one side contemplating the idea before he turned his head and looked down at Cody. "Sorry Martin, we're just settling in, got a lot of boxes to unpack." "Oh well, I'm sure there will be plenty of other times." Tony nodded and smiled once again. "Come on Cody we best get home and finish unpacking." Cody waved goodbye to Jason as they left and got back into the car with his dad and they set off for home.

Once they were home Tony had set about setting up the kitchen and cooking dinner, whilst Cody played. Although during dinner Cody didn't seem very hungry. "Something the matter?" "Huh?" "Something wrong with your food Cody?" "Oh uhm, no it's fine daddy, thank you."

Tony set his fork down and sat back in his chair as he looked the cub over. "Spill it." "Daddy why am I a bunny and you're a wolf if you're my daddy." Tony had an idea that this day would eventually come to bite him in the rear; he just never expected it to be so soon. Getting up off of his chair he kneeled down next to Cody and took his small cub paw into his much larger adult ones and smiled. "It's because you were adopted by me, I couldn't have children of my own so I went to social services and I found the most amazing and cute little bunny in the whole place." He chuckled and started tickling Cody's sides making the bunny giggle and squirm. "Then I scooped him up into my arms and I couldn't let him go again."

Tony stopped his antics and held Cody gently in his arms. "I became the luckiest wolf in the entire world because I had a child to call my own who I love with all my heart and soul and nothing, no matter what would ever change that." Cody smiled and kissed Tony on the nose and nuzzled himself against the adult wolf. "I love you too daddy."

A few days passed and Tony had gone out to work and had put Cody into the local nursery (kindergarten) whilst he worked. He had gotten to know his co-workers quite well but none more so than Martin. The pair often worked together on jobs and had lunch together too, one day when Tony had forgotten his lunch Martin shared his with him. From that day onwards Martin made up lunches for both of them, he'd explained that Tony had too much on his plate between work and bringing up Cody that it was a small price to pay for their friendship.

One afternoon before they finished up Tony invited Martin to have dinner at his place and since it was the weekend they could have a drink or two in the house. Martin agreed wholeheartedly and said he'd be there around six. Tony beamed from ear tip to ear tip on the drive home once he'd picked up Cody. "You're very happy daddy." Cody said with a smile. "Daddy's got a date tonight." "Oh is it with a girl?" "Uhm no, actually it's with the fox you met at my work, Martin." "Oh, he was very nice." Cody smiled.

Tony smiled and nodded "Yes he was." The pair smiled and laughed as they continued their journey home. Once they got home though, Tony became a bag of nerves as he prepared dinner for the second time since he let the first roast burn to cinders. Cody smiled and chuckled watching his dad in a flap as he tried to help set the table. Satisfied with a well cooked meal Tony finished setting up the table and then helped Cody get washed and dressed for bed before dinner. Martin arrived at six on the dot and knocked lightly on the front door. Tony jumped whereas Cody just smiled, Tony got up from his chair and opened the door to let the fox in. "Hey so glad you could make it." "From the smell outside I couldn't miss it for the world." Martin smiled as he handed Tony a bottle of wine and kneeled down in front of Cody and lightly rubbed his head between his ears. "Well hey there, little one, I see Benny's all nice and clean again." Cody smiled and held his plush close as Martin chuckled and stood upright again.

"Such a cute kid you've got, so what are we having?" "Roasted pork, I hope that's ok?" "Yeah sounds good to me." Tony led Martin into the lounge and left him to sit beside Cody as he went into the kitchen to open the bottle of wine. "So your dad tells me that you're in nursery." Cody nodded, "Uh huh, its fun, they let you paint, play in the sand box and in the afternoons we get milk and a biscuit." "Sounds like a lot of fun, you making friends?" Cody dithered a little at that question before beaming up at Martin, "Yeah, lots." "Well that's good to hear."

"Dinner's ready." Tony called through "Come on then little one." Cody almost purred as Martin helped him down from the couch and let him scamper through to the dining room. "He's so adorable." He told Tony as they sat down at the table. Tony smiled and poured out the wine for Martin and himself and a glass of water for Cody before setting the plates down in front of them. "Enjoy." He said as he sat down himself.

"Cody tells me that he's really enjoying nursery" Martin said with a wink to Cody and smiled at Tony "Yes he's getting on quite well according to his teacher, she says he's very bright." "So Cody what's your favourite part about nursery?" Martin quizzed between mouthfuls "Nap time!" Cody announced proudly. The two adults laughed and smiled. As they ate they continued to talk, mostly about Tony and Cody's life before moving, although Tony left out many of the sensitive details.

Once they had finished with their main meal, Tony started washing the dishes after putting an apple pie into the oven to warm it up. Cody wasn't overly keen on apple pie so Tony gave him a bowl of ice-cream which he had finished soon after Tony was finished washing up. "All done?" Tony asked as he picked up the empty bowl. Cody nodded and rubbed his little belly with a smile. "Ok, then off to bed." Tony smiled and kissed the bunny between his ears. "Can Martin read me my bedtime story?"

"Cody, Martin is here..." "No no, that's alright." Martin interrupted, "I don't mind, would you like me to tuck you in too?" He asked Cody nodded excitedly and dashed upstairs. "Don't start without me ok." Martin grinned and gave Tony a soft kiss to the side of his muzzle and promptly followed Cody upstairs.

Upstairs Cody was already in bed and wriggled excitedly when he saw the tall fox come in and beamed up at him. Martin returned the smile and tucked Cody into bed before picking up Benny and the story book upon the chair at his bedside. "The Prince and the Pauper, I used to have this book as a cub too, it's a good book." Martin smiled as he opened the book and began to read, even going as far as to put on the voices that kids seemed to love when having a story read to them.

Once Cody had fallen asleep Martin carefully left the room after turning on the night light and went back downstairs to join Tony who was sat in the lounge upon the couch, half asleep and with two empty bowls on the side table. Martin chuckled and put his paws on his hips looking down at the wolf. "Couldn't wait huh?" He mused Tony jumped from his nap and looked up at the fox and blushed embarrassed.

"Sorry, it's been a busy day." Martin smiled and sat down next to the wolf and placed a finger against his lips. "Ssh, just kiss me you silly boy." The pair stayed up till gone midnight just talking and enjoying being held by someone, when Martin said he should probably head home Tony wouldn't hear of it. "It's late, you've had a bit to drink, why not just stay the night?" "Well I really didn't bring an overnight bag or my toothbrush..." "Oh...right...yeah, sorry I shouldn't have asked." Tony said flatly as his ears fell back against his head. Martin chewed his bottom lip and smiled before kissing Tony on the nose. "Oh dear, what am I going to do with you?" Martin mused as he smiled and took Tony by the paw as he started to climb the stairs. "But your toothbrush..." "Oh I'm sure you won't mind me borrowing yours, amongst other things." He winked and Tony smiled following the handsome fox upstairs.

A few days later Tony and Martin started officially dating much to Cody's delight now that his father had found someone to love. They carried on dating and Cody found himself seeing Martin like another father or even motherly figure since he wasn't quite as butch as his father. Martin would tuck him in at night when he visited, read him bedtime stories, bake cookies, and sing as he did chores around the house. This was mostly when Tony would work extra shifts to give them a little extra money to spend on treats and decorating the house.

The months slowly rolled on into years and all three of them grew ever closer, they would sometimes get odd looks from some people when Tony and Martin would walk paw in paw with Cody walking in front of them but they mostly ignored it. Anyone who knew them well enough never said a word against them and was always happy to invite them to whatever they were hosting. A few times Tony and Martin invited their boss to a Barbecue in the summer and the two cubs would meet up and tell one another about what was new in their lives.

One year Jason announced that his father was allowing him to attend public school for his time in High school. Cody was ecstatic because he knew that would mean they would both be at the same school and perhaps the same classes. Cody had a few friends but he didn't feel as close to any of them as he did with Jason.

His first year of High school went like how it did for most young people, kinda scary, forever getting lost in your first few weeks and learning lots of new and seemingly impossible things. Cody and Jason were thick as thieves always sitting near one another, having their lunch together even spending the holidays together.

However as the years went on something between them changed, Jason seemed to be growing distant, some kids from his days in private school had transferred to their school, something to do with their parents and their jobs. It wasn't that Cody didn't like them; it was just that they always seemed so snooty. The time that Jason and Cody did spend together was usually during the weekends but even that started to become rarer.
