The Greys Chapter 22: Relativity
#23 of The Greys
After throwing the linens into the washing machine, Gideon and Kody parted ways with Bill, each giving him a big hug and a warm kiss. The wolf couldn't help himself though as he gave both of their rumps a firm grope. "Thanks fer th'venin', Gideon," he said to his beau before looking over at Kody, " And thanks fer th'show, Kody."
The two clothed tods blushed not only from the words, but also from the strong wolf's hand. Slowly, Bill let go as he gave each of them another smooch. "I'll sees yew two tods 'round," he said before departing.
Kody and Gideon looked at one another, both of them chuckling as they watched the wolf leave. "I... uhm... I have to say. Bill... is pretty sexy. For a wolf I mean," Kody said as he scratched his head. His cousin chuckled, "He sure is ain't he? He really likes ya."
The other tubby tod's face blushed, "I know."
Gideon put an arm around his cousin's shoulder, "Don't go stealin'm from me."
Kody chuckled as he shook his head, "I won't."
The two tods shared a laugh together when the door to the apartment opened.
Josephine had expected her son to show up at her house after Gideon showed him around, but since that hadn't happened, the vixen just assumed he'd stayed the night with his cousin. There wasn't anything wrong with that, he did need to integrate with the family, and what better way to do it then spending time with your cousin.
It was half passed noon now, and Jo was more than a bit curious at what was keeping her boy from visiting his mother's home. "Only way t'find out what he's up t'is to head to Gideons," she told herself that morning, so she slipped on a little yellow sundress and headed for her nephew's.
The first thing she'd noticed when she pulled up was Bill Blake heading out the back door, whistling with a big smile on his face. It was certainly a curious sight, but she'd also heard a few things here and there that he was hooking up with her nephew. She didn't have a problem with it. Gideon was an adult and he liked what he liked, though she was a bit curious about her son. She knew a bit about him, though his preferences for partners wasn't one of them. Jo really didn't care if her boy liked men or women, he was her little boy, and she loved him. She'd loved him enough to give him away and now he'd returned to her.
Slowly, she slid out of her car and headed to the back door. Bill had locked it, but Gideon had given keys to all his kin, so it was only natural that Jo had one. She slid the key into the lock and turned it before opening the door.
The first thing she heard when she entered the bottom floor was the humming of a washing machine. Nothing too unusual for a Sunday, really. Slowly, the old vixen started to make her way up the stairs, her paws pressing into the wooden steps as her hand held onto the guard rail.
The sound of humming turned into laughter, making the vixen start to smile. "Sounds likes them boys really like each other," Jo said softly to herself, "Guess it was a good ideer fer Kody to spend the night with his cousin."
Lightly, she wrapped her knuckles onto the wooden door at the top of the stairs. The laughter died off slightly as she slowly pushed it open, a warm smile across her muzzle. "Ya ready t'go visit suma mama's friends?"
Kody smiled, "Sure, mom." He looked over at his cousin for a brief second before giving him a hug. "I'll see you later."
"Sure thang, cousin."
Kody and his mother left out the back entrance to the pastry shop, the tod following the vixen down the stairs only to move in beside her. Tentatively, Kody reached his hand over to take hers before leaning against her. Jo looked down her arm and smiled. He was holding her hand. The old vixen couldn't help but imagine her son twenty eight years younger and doing the same thing. It was a sweet thought that almost made her cry.
"Mom, do you want to take my car or yours," her son asked.
"Hows about yers, Kody."
