Hey, ah... Vision - I mean, Jonas - of the Young Avengers got sent home. Sorry, if you knew him.

[Why is he always full of bad news? Ugh... let’s try to be less depressing for a while.]

There’s something else I wanted to talk about today: since I got here almost a year ago I’ve noticed how there’s this huge range of cultural norms across the multiverse- which makes sense, different worlds have different standards, I get it. People who are accepted in one world aren’t tolerated in another. Luceti’s kind of an anomaly, where there’s really not much, if any prejudice. I mean, there’s the whole Malnosso versus Us mentality, but that’s because of what they do, not what they are. Basically what I’m saying is that I think that’s great, and I want to do my part to keep encouraging that universal acceptance here for the people who might not be able to get it back where they come from, open up discussions to people who might not be sure about who or what they are, um...

Okay, this is a really roundabout way of saying I want to start an LGBT club. If you don’t know what that means, here’s a breakdown:

[Below is a jotted list-

L = Lesbian = girls attracted to girls
G = Gay = guys attracted to guys
B = Bisexual = guys and girls attracted to BOTH guys and girls
T = Transgender = People who feel like they were born in the body of the wrong gender (or genderfluid)
*Q = Questioning = Anyone not sure about the above or if they apply

And then it returns to voice.]


Those are really oversimplified, and there's still a lot of other words people use to define themselves, but you get the gist of it. I’d really like to meet up with anyone who matches any those descriptions, or feels like they might, or are just curious about it. I’m gonna put up some posters with suggested meeting times and places, but if you have any questions or just want to talk about it, you can use the journal (it’s okay to be anonymous!) or come right to the school. I’ve got a table set up and I’ll be here pretty much all day. I don't know if this is going to go anywhere, but it's worth a shot, right?

One last thing- we’re looking to make this a safe place, so if you plan to come just to make fun of people: we have a Hulk.

[And true to his word, Billy will be at the school, curled up in a chair at a plain table littered with papers. He’s designing posters and doodling various symbols to use for logos. Come bother him if you like?]

Hey, it works, right?

[His boner is effectively killed, at least. Teddy lets their hands hang at their side, his thumbs gently stroking Billy's, and gives a tilt of his head.]

So, wanna go back outside? Or stay in here for another five minutes? [Not that Teddy knows just how much time has passed - a little hard to keep track when you've got your mouth occupied and all. But it might be nice to cozy up for a few minutes before stepping into the safe-for-work zone.

... Then again, staying for a few minutes might push them right back into not-safe-for-work.]

Well... [He slides his arms around his boyfriend and holds him close against him, a little smile on his face while he leans his head against Billy's.] Your mom does have that scary way of being right about pretty much everything.

Whatever soul-searching you do, promise to take me with you. Our first real trip together as bfs.

[Because Luceti really, really doesn't count. Teddy himself pointedly avoids whatever might be an erogenous zone, including Billy's wings and neck, though he does lazily stroke his fingers up and down Billy's lower back.]

But what I'm really saying is that we might as well indulge your fears and stay away from "like-minded peers" for a little longer. Then we'll suck it up and head back out there. [Really, it's just an excuse to cuddle a bit longer. Even if it is in a restroom.]

[Teddy lets out a hum of his own, arms moving appropriately to embrace Billy fully, holding him there like he belongs. They always fit so well together like this, something Teddy noticed from the very first time they really hugged each other for a length of time.]

Hm... If we were back on Earth, where would we go? [Assuming no one hitched a ride with them. Like Tommy.]

[Indeed it is, and he can't help letting out an amused snort, though he won't state the real reason. Maybe he's just amused by the choices. Either way, he tips his head down to nuzzle his nose against Billy's hair, eyes shut.]

Both places sound like a blast... even if they're near beaches. Maybe we can hit up Paris after? See if it lives up to its name and all... And if not, St. Louis.

I always wanted to go to St. Louis. Spain sounds pretty good too, but hey, if we go to Paris... [He leans in close to whisper in Billy's ear:] Vous pouvez m'entendre parler français.

[Then he leans back, enough to look down at Billy's face.] Or we could go to New Zealand and walk where the rest of the LotR cast walked. That sounds like a soul-searching journey right there.

[Teddy gives a quiet laugh at that, both hands reaching up to gently ruffle Billy's hair, as if their little makeout session hadn't messed it up already.]

Then New Zealand it is! There's something to look forward to. A super awesome roadtrip with your boyfriend.

[Teddy looks forward to it anyway, because omg walking along the same pathways as the Fellowship did, kyaaaa~]

Now, as romantic as cuddling in the boys' bathroom with you is...
halfnhalf: ([teddy] either fond or sleepy)

[Once Billy pulls back, Teddy brushes his hands over Billy's chest... until his gaze moves up slightly, and his smile grows into a grin as he reaches his hands up to run his fingers through and smooth down Billy's hair in an attempt to make it look presentable again. All his fault, he knows. Somehow, though, he doesn't feel too bad about that fact.]

Can't have the club president and vice president missing out on actually recruiting people, after all.
