Stay With Me (a Suite Life/Pair Of Kings crossover)

Rated: T

Pairing: Brady/Cody

Summary: The S.S. Tipton docks in Kinkow for a week. Cody spends a lot of time with King Brady. Slash.

A/N: This is my first crossover story. I'm not sure how good it's going to be, but I'm going to try it and if it ends up stinking like a steaming pile I'll scrap it lol. But if you enjoy it I'd really appreciate some reviews. The idea came to me when my mind was running wild trying to come up with obscure pairings :D

Chapter 1 - More Twins in the Castle (Posted 23 April 2011)

"I'm so excited!" Cody said loudly as they prepared to depart the S.S. Tipton.

"Why?" Zack asked, crossing his arms. "It's just some stupid island."

"It's not a stupid island!" Cody said, deeply offended. "You just have no respect for foreign cultures."

"I have respect for foreign women, does that count?" Zack raised his eyebrows.

Cody rolled his eyes. "No."

"Ok." Zack shrugged and walked by his frustrated twin.

"Oh, Cody, there you are!" Bailey ran over to him.

"Yes, exactly where I said I would meet you." Cody said under his breath.

"What was that?" Bailey asked innocently.

"N-nothing." Cody stuttered.

"Are you ready to tour one of the most beautiful tropical islands on the planet?"

"Absolutely." Cody said with a genuine smile. He was looking forward to meeting the natives.

"I'm so excited that you won the contest to meet the Kings! You are so lucky! And I'm so lucky that you picked me to be your guest."

"Hah. Yeah." Cody turned away awkwardly. He'd been feeling very confused about Bailey lately. He just felt so crowded and annoyed by her lately. But he was afraid. He'd broken up with her once before, and missed her terribly. Would that happen again? Or was he really feeling like their relationship had come to a standstill. He just didn't like her anymore.

No. It wasn't that he didn't like her. He loathed her. Every giggle was like a cheese grater grinding relentlessly against his brain. And every angry sigh was like a master chef dragging a cleaver across his head. He couldn't stand the sight of her. Every time she was near him, he just wanted to beg Zack to let him stuff his head in the blender and press every single button.

"Well, shall we be on our way?"

"Sure." Cody feigned enthusiasm.

Bailey linked her arm through Cody's and walked him off the ship. Mr. Moseby, Zack, and Woody were all waiting for them.

"Come on, Cody," Moseby urged him, "you don't want to be late, it's very rude."

"Yeah Cody, let's go!" Bailey screeched.

"You know what..." Cody took in a deep breath. "I can't do this. You can't come with me, Bailey."

"What? Why not?"

"You... you just can't."

"Cody Martin, I demand you tell me this instant!" she stamped her foot and glared at him.

"You annoy me to no end." Cody said lowly. "Your voice makes me wish I was dead and your face makes me wish I was suffering some horrible torture in an uncharted land of uncivilized baboons. I can't stand you anymore."

"Cody! How could you say that to me?"

"I'm sorry, I've been meaning to tell you..."

"Tell me what? That you all of a sudden hate me?"

"It isn't all of a sudden." Cody corrected. "We've been growing apart for a very long time, Bailey. I'm sorry it had to come out like this, but I just can't handle you anymore."

"Fine. If that's how you're going to be, then I never want to see you again." She stormed off, shaking her head and muttering to herself.

"Wow." Zack said. "You sure showed her." He held out his fist.

Cody, actually knowing what the gesture meant after all the times he got it wrong, bumped his fist against Zacks. "Yeah, I just couldn't take it any longer. I wanted to be more... polite about it, but it was just so difficult to keep inside."

"I'm proud of you, buddy." Zack said.

And even though Cody felt a little bad about springing this on Bailey, he felt good. He felt free. And, seeing as he hadn't felt that way in an extremely long time, he smiled broadly.

"Well," Moseby said, "now that you've got that taken care of, who are you going to take to meet the Kings?"

"Pick me!" Zack and Woody said at the same time.

Zack looked at Woody. "Why would he pick you? You only want to go for the banquet."

"Well why would he pick you?" Woody retorted. "You only want to go for the girls."

Cody sighed. "I'll think of a number between one and fifty, whichever of you is the closest can come with me."

"Eight!" Woody yelled.

"I haven't thought of a number yet!" Cody said. He scrunched up his face for a minute before nodding. "Ok, now i have it. Zack, you first."

"Um... thirty two." Zack said dully, as if he really didn't care.

"Ok, now you, Woody."

"Uh... um... well... oh, I am not good under pressure!"

"Just pick a number!" the twins yelled at him.

"Two hundred sixty seven!"

The Martin boys just stared at him with looks of utter confusion on their faces.

"I said between one and fifty." Cody said, wondering why he even bothered.

"You put me on the spot." Woody pouted.

"Well, I guess that means Zack is going with me. Woody, you go watch Sesame Street and learn how to count." Cody said as he started to walk away. "Come on, Zack, we have to meet our escort."

"Ok, fine." Zack caught up to his brother, pretending to not be interested in visiting the castle even though he was dying to see it.

"You must be Cody." a big, tall man said with a booming voice.

"Um, yes, that's me. Cody Martin. Are you Mason?"

"I sure am. I'm here to escort you back to the castle. This is your guest?"

"Unfortunately." Cody rolled his eyes. "This is my twin brother, Zack."

"Ah, another set of twins, how delightful." Mason said with a hint of sarcasm before leading them toward the castle.

"Welcome, Zack and Cody, to the Kings' castle. The heart of Kinkow." Mason said, taking them inside.

"Wow." the brother awed at the sight.

"This castle is amazing!" Cody admired.

"Yeah, but where are the babes?" Zack rubbed his hands together.

"The Kings..." a fair-skinned boy yelled as he jumped into the room.

"...have arrived!" a darker boy yelled as he jumped in after the first.

"Your Majesties..." Cody bowed.

"Oh," the dark one said, "there's no need to bow before our amazing, majestic, awesome, greatness."

"Unless you want to." the light one said.

"You guys are the Kings?" Zack asked.

"Yep." they said together.

"I'm Boomer."

"And I'm his twin brother, Brady."

"That's so cool!" Cody said. "I'm Cody, and that's my twin brother, Zack."

"Sweet, you guys must be identical." Brady said.

"Yep." Zack nodded.

"We're fraternal." Boomer said, as if it was a giant secret.

Cody looked at both of them. "I gathered that."

"Well, welcome to our castle." Brady said as he walked around with his arms extended, showing off his castle. "How long are you staying here?"

"A whole week." Cody said eagerly.

"Awesome." Boomer and Brady said at the same time.

Brady stepped up behind them and put an arm over each of their shoulders. "We're going to have so much fun."
