Seeing as I did it to not be boring, underlines my point. Punctuates it. Gives it a shouty sorta interrobang! Even chose tequila.

[Because it is supposed to get you drunk sooner. But with the downhill coming David tightens his grip on Bobby, and he laughs on the way down. His head is spinning, yes, and he's feeling bad for himself. About himself. Whatever. But that? That was fun.]

[iceman_begins]

Tequilla probably wasn't a good idea.

[Because it usually isn't.]

But maybe just try some more new and spontaneous things?

In that case I suppose Wiccan could have done the same for you guys, but Nico definitely gets less repercussions than his does.

I feel like Molly has a special relationship with a lot of people. Speed talks about her a lot. We're lucky he isn't parent material or he might have taken her in as a little sister.

How does his magic work, exactly? I've never really asked... I just know he has to focus a lot more than she does. I guess each type has its drawbacks, right?

She does. She's exactly the right mix of infectiously cute and youthfully bratty, heh. We've had a few teething problems since moving back home, though.

[Well, there is a whole LIST of things that David wasn't expecting. And this? Pretty high up on it. To have his boyfriend show up out of nowhere, load him down like a packhorse, and carry him off? Definitely high up there.

And then there they are. Which has David's head a bit dizzy. And not because this is a great romantic gesture. Which it is. Seriously.]

[zoomandboom]

[Tommy sets the backpack down careful, and then zips through laying out a blanket and setting out a bunch of food and stuff, all of it still in closed containers or packages, so they wouldn't end up with bugs in yet or whatever.

Then he's done and giving David a wide smile, slipping arms around him.] So. Picnic and swimming? Sound good?

This definitely wasn't how David anticipated the night going. He'd come home with ALL SORTS of things to prepare for dinner in a few nights. Their anniversary was approaching and David had SO MANY ideas about the night. About how to make it perfect. About how to make a night worthy of the relationship they'd been in.

What he hadn't been expecting was the evening being messed up by Young Avengers Work. Not that they were that young anymore. But there had been work to do, and when it was over, Tommy had brought David back to the apartment. Because really, a work run in Topeka, Kansas had been a bit out of the way. But their team did what was needed of them. And Tommy there, sitting on a kitchen counter while David patched up a variety of cuts and wounds was another thing he hadn't planned for. He was going to do some early prep of some of the more complicated parts of the dessert he had planned, and instead...

Instead there was Tommy, hopping down from the counter, standing too close. There was Tommy, far too close, and making David start to feel awkward because the way the other guy was looking at him was... weird. And Tommy, hand around the back of David's neck, pulling him close to kiss him.

Which, of course, David will quickly move to put his hands up and try and push Tommy away from him. Not that he can do much against super strength. Or react fast enough to avoid the issue that was about to arise.

"I can't believe you made it to an anniversary that counts," Aurora had trilled in his ear. She'd laughed, sensing her twin's sour face.

"I know," he'd replied. "Look at me, making it past the t'ree month mark for once."

"I am a little surprised," Aurora had confessed. "Don't get me wrong - I love David. But he's so young! Remember how you were at that age? Couldn't tie you down. But he's more mature than you were."

Jean-Paul had snorted and made his goodbyes. He had presents to buy, after all. And he didn't want to be late for dinner.

Jean-Paul lets himself into the apartment quietly for once, planning to sneak past David to the bedroom to stash his gifts before returning with the (obscenely expensive) bottle of champagne he'd bought. The open concept apartment means, however, that he sees David isn't alone at once. A few steps closer and he sees clearly that yes, David is standing with his back to him, pressed up against one of his teammates. Kissing.

Kissing.

"What d'FUCK is this?!" Jean-Paul manages.

Oh baby baby? [David is resisting the urge to laugh. He really is. But he rises from his seat after sweeping his work tools into a drawer. And then raises a finger, curling it in the traditional 'come hither' gesture.]

I'll show you my huge... brain.

[speed_of_snark]

[Jean-Paul walks toward David, smirking.]

I'd like that. Very much.

Yeah, but I'm not necessarily wiser than you on some things.
And there are a number of people smarter than me.

uh hey

silly question.

do you have like, a mortal enemy?

[helpdesk_hero]

Uh, I mean, there are people who are inherently against mutant kind. And I guess Julian hates me but we're not mortal enemies.

I guess there's the Patrinot but he might just be me in the future...

Why?

Hey.

Are you working?

Nope. Have the afternoon off to work on patent paperwork.

[It's probably one PM Krakoa time when David gets a text from Trevor.]


ok so b4 i tell you something promise you won't b mad :)

[helpdesk_hero]

What did you do?

New Orleans

[kyley_b]

Deception can be a force for good.

Case in point: one Jean-Paul Beaubier, at the insistence of one Tommy Shepard, his husband, and his sister, actually bothering to lie in order to send one David Alleyne to the Krakoan gate at New Orleans under orders that there was suspicious activity happening in the city involving a possible human-mutant fetish group. He was instructed to go there, poke around, see if he could verify any truth to the rumours.

Of course when David exits the gate and goes outside onto the street, he's going to find one tall, gangly ginger stood there with a bouquet of flowers.

"Surprise! Happy birthday!"

Re: New Orleans

[helpdesk_hero]

It was all vaguely off. But David supposed he understood. Not only did he pass, but he wasn’t internationally known like Rachel, wouldn’t exhaust himself with power use like her also, and he passed as well as human. It was a reasonable deployment.

But to see Kyle there, his Kyle, with flowers and saying those words... he laughed and rushed forward to embrace his boyfriend.

“Is this why you told me I shouldn’t come by your dorm before Jean-Paul commandeered my time? Or wait...”

He leaned in to whisper to Kyle.

“Are we the human-mutant fetish group?”

ok so i'm not used to warm weather and i have no fashion sense so david how short are men's shorts supposed to be?

Re: text;

[helpdesk_hero]

On men? Typically non-workout shorts fall to around the knee.

For you when you're in my line of sight? Just short enough to flirt with the idea of me getting an upshorts shot if there's a stiff breeze.

[helpdesk_hero]

Only if you promise to take proper care of it. Keep it properly trimmed, clean it, use beard conditioner.

Hey David. Trying to get ahead of Bruce finding you in the street to incognito interrogate you. Do you know Jean Grey?

[helpdesk_hero]

Then Bat-Dab is back? And I presume not the same manifestation as before because he'd just contact me.

Yes. I'm reaching out to her directly. I'm sure our mutual associates will be glad to see her here.

Bruce is welcome to try and jump me for interrogation though. It would be amusing.
