Sparky Repairs, Tuesday

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

It was a nice day for Teddy. He was himself again and most importantly, there was pie everywhere. A coil of copper wire suddenly turned into strawberry rhubarb and his notebook from superheroing turned into lemon meringue.

It was probably a good thing that neither Emo nor Goth turned into pie, they wouldn't have stood a chance of survival then.

"Mmmm, pie."

Teddy always seemed to be visiting him at work, so Chad decided to return the favour for a change. Besides, he had to talk to someone about what he discovered.

"My guitar," he announced, with a slight tone of disturbance in his voice as he greeted Ted with a kiss, "turned into a pie."

Looking around the place? Chad had a feeling Teddy would understand.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Teddy asked, offering Chad some of the copper wire turned pie. "What flavor?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Blueberry," Chad answered, and took the offered pie for comfort. "M'torn. Looks really good, but...it's my guitar."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Do you think everything is gonna turn back?" Teddy grabbed the lemon meringue and a fork, a fork that inexplicably turned into a pie when he wasn't looking. Eew. Pie hand.

Chad's head tilted slightly at the rapid rate in which the items seemed to be turning into pie around here. "Hope so. I can't afford a new guitar."

After a moment, his disturbed expression increasing, he added, "But hopefully not until after it's worked its way through digestive systems."

But the thought of pie turning back into copper wire while still in his stomach sort of made Chad lose his taste for pie. He set it aside.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

And that would be Teddy grabbing the abandoned pie. Because, hey, pie!

"Did you have class today?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Chad said, picking a little at wrench-turned-mincemeat pie. "Jus' driver's ed...Got 87 on my test." Which made Chad sad.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Isn't that good?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Usually do really good on tests, not just...good good."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Aww, Chad was a little (okay, not so little) academic! That earned a hug from Teddy.

"I'm sure you'll do better on the next one."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Ranked 11th in his class last year. It's a truly unexplainable phenomena. That now got him hugs, which was pretty sure. "Hope so. 'Cause I think we start in cars next week, and anything less than a hundred on that could result in..." And he smashed his hands together to impersonate smashing vehicles. In flaming, smoking crashes. Because of clowns.

...That class was seriously messing with his head.

"I'm sure that..." Teddy paused, remembering the teacher. "I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let anything like that happen."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad shrugged; it didn't really matter. He was more concerned about the wreck inside the vehicle. He started picking at the pie again. "I got stuck with Ranma and Jude in my car. Think I should go kiss Setsuna to bring the awkwardness to a complete full circle?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy winced in sympathy. "That's... wow. And I think kissing Setsuna would be interesting to say the least," He said, giving Chad a look that said no kissing people that aren't named Teddy.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad did his best to look innocent.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy gave him another look in response.

"So, when do you start cheerleading?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

And this look was Chad brushing his hair out of his eyes so he could glare at Teddy. But then he realized, head tilting and glare fading away, "I have no idea."

Yup. Chad was keeping up with cheerleading stuff just as well as he kept up with Teal Dear stuff. He'd find out when someone else said something about it.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy rolled his eyes and laughed. "Well, when you do know, tell me. I want to see you cheer."

Not an evil grin at all, honest.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad figured it be best to ask before he tried this one. "And consequences for not telling you?"

Pippi owed him big time. Jam sessions and petting could only cover so much...

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Me pouting until you do," Teddy said, pouting to show Chad what he'd have to deal with.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

There was a long moment of silent considersation before Chad noted, "When did the pout become such a powerful weapon around here?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Really that powerful, huh?" Teddy asked, wrapping his arms around Chad's neck and looking up at him. "Then I guess plan B wasn't necessary."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad lowered his head, arching slightly to set his forehead against Teddy's. "What was Plan B?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Well it was really more of a bribe than a plan," Teddy said, kissing Chad lightly. "I'm still trying to decide on whether I should wear that swimsuit you like or find a cheerleading skirt."

And no, he wasn't able to say it without blushing.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad grinned, although the thought of Ted flouncing around in a cheerleading skirt probably embarrassed him just as much as it did Teddy. Much preferred those itty bitty swimtrunks. "I could talk to Pippi," he offered. "I'm sure she could hook ya up. Throw in some pom-poms, too."

Oh, Dios. The thought struck him that he never asked about pom-poms. He really hoped there wouldn't have to be pom-poms.

Why the hell was he a cheerleader?

Oh. Right. Redheads kill willpower dead.

"Well you did say that short skirts and bouncing made it hard for you to say no." Teddy took the opportunity to nuzzle at Chad's neck. "The perfect plan, huh?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad wondered if explaining that the short skirts and bouncing kind of had to go with another element that Teddy was kind of lacking would result in a ceasation of nuzzles and possibly a violent act. He decided to play it safe. "Plan A was better."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy would only have replied in a sing-song voice about being a shape-shifter.

And maybe have bitten him, but he doubted Chad would complain about that.

"You're coming to the party tonight, right?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad gave Teddy a look. Leather pants and a chance for his own shameless shirtlessness? Did he really need to ask?

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy grinned and gave him a kiss. "Good, I'm kidnapping you to help with the setup."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad kissed him back, nuzzled slightly. "'Kay."

Someone had to put up the high decorations, after all.
