Brian
There was a sign neatly taped to Brian's door. It said, simply:

<--
Tea, biscuits, heat pads and sympathy this way.

Beneath which was a comic-style sketch of a muddy Brian stumbling toward a pile of provisions. It was clear enough who had left the message, though Teddy hadn't signed his name.

	"A pet name already?" he teased weakly. "Sugar. And who else is in love with you today?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What? Oh. No, I'd try to be more creative than that, though I'll admit to a stupid weakness for sweetheart. I blame movies." He handed Brian the sugar. "And some high school girl, Marie. Do you know many of the high schoolers?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brian shook his head as he dumped an obscene amount of sugar into his cup. "Fortunately, no. I left the high schoolers behind when I left high school. Did you let her down gently?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I told her I loved her shoes. That was the best I could do at the moment." Teddy made a wry face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If that doesn't put the message out, I don't know what will." Brian added a touch of milk to his tea, then took a cautious sip. With an almost pornographic moan, he said, "Oh, you're lovely, Teddy Altman. Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teddy smiled in open, uncomplicated pleasure. "You're welcome. Here," he added, nudging over the plate of cookies. "Did you want a heat pad, too?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	britspeak 2011-03-20 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Not yet. Maybe the tea will do all the work." He took a cookie, though, and bit into it before asking, "What were you doing when I was off dying in the mud? Beside breaking girls' hearts?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Playing Arkham Asyulum and watching season one of Buffy. I probably should try to come up with something cooler in case anyone asks, huh?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am valiantly attempting not to judge you, since you're my friend and bringer of tea." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"See," Teddy said earnestly, blond bangs falling into his eyes. He did earnest very, very well. "That's why I'm bribing you to like me; so you won't judge me for my obviously geeky choices in life." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's working for the moment," Brian said, shrugging. "But if the biscuits aren't as delicious next time? I can't make promises." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's okay, I'm unfortunately pretty used to living in that kind of uncertainty." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brian raised an eyebrow and asked, "You do know I was joking, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goinggreen 2011-03-20 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Pretty much, yes. If you weren't, I don't think you would have giving me warning!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	britspeak 2011-03-20 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Still, I don't like the sound of that 'living in uncertainty' bit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goinggreen 2011-03-20 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry," Teddy said quickly. "I wasn't trying to say anything by it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	britspeak 2011-03-20 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Still." Brian stood with a little sigh and shifted over so he was sitting next to Teddy, then put his arm around him, pulling him into a loose, playful headlock. He smelled sharply of sweat and mud and boy, and it didn't get any better when he tugged Teddy in a little closer. "Once I have friends, I don't drop them, see? No uncertainty."

	Teddy put a tentative hand on Brian's back, flushed and laughing. "Okay," he said, grinning up at him. "You can stop the gangster talk; I trust you, I promise!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	britspeak 2011-03-20 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Do you? I don't think I believe you." He shook Teddy a little, still playing. It'd been a long time since he'd rough-housed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey, I can't fight back!" he jokingly protested. "You're too sad and sore." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	britspeak 2011-03-20 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"It's true," Brian agreed. He let go and ruffled Teddy's hair. "It's why I befriend gentlemen. Too honorable to fight back sad old me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goinggreen 2011-03-20 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Not to mention smelly," Teddy pointed out, sitting up. His hair was a mess and his cheeks were flushed, dimples flashing. There was little wonder some high school girl had formed a crush. "You smell terrible." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I do. I need a hot shower. But it's a manful musk, at least." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Is it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	britspeak 2011-03-21 12:03 am UTC (link)
	"It is. You, on the other hand..." Brian leaned in, sniffing. "Smell rather good, actually." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
