36. Drabble: Like a moth to the flame
Title: Like a moth to the flame
Author: [info]dottie_jane
Theme: opposites
Notes: Huggles to [info]vl_redreign for the beta.



Emmett is not someone Ted ever imagined would be his best friend. In high school, Ted desperately wanted to be a jock, but nature had predetermined his place among the dorks. Ted was stuck with his Mathlete friends who were mostly interested in his skills as a human calculator. Emmett had no use for Ted’s mathematical prowess. They met the day Ted absently wandered into Torso as he followed on the heels of some twink. Later that same day, Ted walked out of Torso minus one twink, but plus two bags of garishly colored clothes and a friend to match.

I'd write dozens of Ted/Emmett friendship fic if I thought anyone would read it (and if I had the time to write it)! I love them so much.

I love the thought of them meeting this way.
And I would really like to see just what Emmett picked out for him!

Me too! Hmm, maybe I should hunt around the interwebz looking for Torso-like outfits for Teddy?

I like this. I had never thought about the way in which these two met before today but you've got me thinking.

Probably not. I'm pretty sure he returned all those clothes as soon as he could figure out when Emmett wouldn't be at Torso. ;)

Cute drabble!

I can just imagine the things Emmett picked for Ted to wear. And I bet Ted never wore any of it!

It seemed like the most natural explanation for their friendship to me!

Cute!
This could inspire a lot of how-everyone-met works/ideas. :)

If I had the time, I'd write as many as I could. Ugh, my life needs to slow down so that I can play.

I can just imagine Ted's expression the first time he saw Emmett! Because you know Emmett caught Ted looking at that twink. Em probably saw Ted and thought "project!" a la Cher in Clueless.

i've always liked them as friends instead of lovers.

Me too! I hated that the writers made them lovers. It was so contrived and ruined a perfectly good comedy duo.

I'm sure you're exactly right. I'll bet Ted still has those clothes, somewhere in the back of a closet, with the labels still attached ;)
