Cherry Blossoms & Cody Blood

Joshua’s Birthday Reunion: A Night with the Codys and Roxy

On Joshua Cody’s birthday, his uncles take him out for drinks at Twin Peaks Restaurant. What starts as a normal wild night with **Craig Cody, Deran Cody, Andrew “Pope” Cody, and Barry “Baz” Blackwell quickly turns into something unexpected when a breathtaking girl walks in late.

With white hair, fox-like eyes, and cherry blossom tattoos, she instantly steals the room’s attention—but when Joshua looks closer, he realizes she’s not a stranger at all. She’s his childhood best friend, the only person who ever truly understood him… and the one he never stopped thinking about.

As old feelings resurface and unfinished conversations begin, one birthday night might change everything between them.

Intro

Cody Birthday Night

Joshua “J” Cody sat at a booth in Twin Peaks Restaurant, birthday drinks in front of him, surrounded by his uncles—Pope Cody, Craig Cody, Deran Cody, and Baz Blackwell. Laughter, wings, and servers in uniforms kept the table lively.

Then she walked in.

Hair, eyebrows, eyelashes pure white. Flawless skin. Fox eyes that glowed. Curves perfect, a cherry blossom tattoo climbing her side, another as a sleeve on her arm. Spanish and English flowed from her lips with effortless seduction.

J froze.

“Roxy?” he whispered.

The uncles recognized her too—childhood friend, family friend, the one he’d secretly always had a crush on. Their falling out years ago hadn’t erased the connection. She smiled at him.

Later, she leaned close and whispered, “Happy birthday, J.”

They talked quietly, laughed a little, shared numbers. Something unsaid lingered, but it felt right again.

Hours later, back at Smurf Cody’s house, J called her.

“Wanna come over?”

“…Yeah.”

For the first time in a long time, J smiled—tonight wasn’t just another birthday.
