I LOVED the scene where Spoony brings up the vaccine and everyone is yelling at him and Linkara. That was really well done.
Poor Spoony, trying to take the weight for the whole team ... *huggles him*
*wibbles* Joe ... WHY? *squeaks wetly*
As the sun began to go down, she pulled Marz closer to her for warmth. "You okay?" She asked softly. "Bit chilly," Marz replied, and leaned into her. "I'll be fine," she smiled. Goggles smiled back, and turned her attention back to the others. Spoony had just finished a story, and she saw Linkara put a hand on his friend's back. She squashed her rising suspicions. This was neither the time nor place, and anyway, there was no way they could keep another betting pool a secret from Spoony. Ma-Ti and the Chick were sharing a bottle of something that looked like vodka. And speaking of rising suspicions, that explained why the Chick hadn't slept in their room the previous night. She wondered if it would last. Marz nudged her side, and subtly nodded at the other side of the fire. Goggles suppressed a wholly inappropriate snicker. The Critic, clearly thinking no one was looking or paying attention, had carefully put his jacket around the Nerd's shoulders, apparently against the cold. And yet they weren't touching; pointedly so, in fact. "Still doing the Dance of Awkward Boys In Denial, are they?" She whispered to Marz, who muffled a giggle in her shoulder. "It'd be cute if it weren't so ridiculous." *grinz a ridiculous grin* So many pairings, so much potential, so much cuteness!
"Come on, babe," Marz said, taking her by the hand. Goggles squeezed Marz's fingers lightly, and allowed herself to be led back to the barracks. Romantic Two-Slash-Fangirl Relationship! Hurray!
"What the hell were you doing yesterday, anyway?" He asked the Nerd. "Saving your life, maybe?" The Nerd replied, and the fucker had the temerity to roll his eyes at the Critic. "Oh, fuck you, asswipe. I can take care of myself, you know. And I'm sick and tired of you being in my face all the time, acting like I can't." Stop flirting boys ... my exhausted brain can't take much teasing!
"We're shoving now?" The Nerd looked disgusted. "What are you, ten?" Foreplay!
"I still have one good arm, asshole," the Nerd spat, and proceeded to prove it by pushing the Critic back against the door, hard. The ensuing struggle was vicious, but brief, and at the end of it, the Critic found himself pinned against the door, the Nerd's good arm against his throat. "See?" The Nerd smirked triumphantly. The Critic scowled, and tried to think of a way to regain the upper hand, preferably in a way that wouldn't leave any marks -- again, Goggles would kill them both. Taking a swipe at the Nerd's legs proved ineffective, so, on a sudden impulse, he grabbed the other man's bloody shirt, and yanked him forward into a bruising kiss. Woohoo! Wall-slamming! Pent-up-rage-induced kiss! Two of my favorite things!
"What?" The Critic blinked in confusion. He'd obviously missed something, and his brain was no help in trying to figure it out, still stuck as it was on the "Yay, kissing!" part. Fuck, this was going to turn out to be some sort of FoeYay thing, wasn't it? Yes, yes it is. *SQUEE*
"We're officially pathetic," the Nerd announced, sounding vaguely embarrassed, and was that a blush? The Critic decided it was, and counted it as a victory. It was also kinda cute. Eee hee hee! Geeks in love are so adorable ...
"Oh, really?" The Critic raise an eyebrow. "And you think you have the skills, do you?" The Nerd's grin widened. "I'll have you begging in no time," he claimed, and caught the Critic's mouth in another kiss before he could protest. adkfljalfdjaslfalfalfjaldfj YOU CANNOT LEAVE IT THERE! *ARGH*
"A betting pool?" A voice came suddenly from the doorway behind her. The Critic. Fuck. "You fuckers had a betting pool?" He looked torn between anger and extreme embarrassment. Bahahahhahaa!
"That doesn't mean any of you are off the hook for this," the Critic glared at them, then sighed. "I can't deal with this at this time of the morning. I need caffeine," and he stomped off to the canteen, followed by the Nerd. Awwwwww ... *squees some more*
Then, looking at Paw, who looked oddly sulky and despondent, "What's with you?" He sighed. "Everyone is getting laid except me." "Hey, I'm not getting any, either," Spoony commiserated. Paw stretched and got up off the couch. "If that's an offer," he said, walking to the door. "Thanks, but I'm not that desperate yet." "... Hey!" Spoony called after him. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" *sporfleDIEZ*
Insano was certainly looking more hopeful, although that could just be because he seemed to be getting more sleep, lately He suspected Linkara had something to do with that, which kinda weirded him out. Yeah, by rights Linkara should be keeping Insano from sleep, if you know what I mean ...
"Actually," Goggles grinned at her. "I had a feeling your little fling thing wasn't going to last long. So we talked about things, and, well ..." She looked over at Marz. "What she's trying to say," Marz filled in. "Is that we're ... open to suggestion." It took her a moment to process Marz's meaning. She blinked, and considered the situation. After several moments of silence, she grinned back at them, and said, "I think we're going to need a bigger bed." adlfajlfajflajljfaldjfalkfjalf I LOVE YOU!
Hurray, the vaccine works! *cheers*
"I never said I'd enjoy it," Spoony pointed out. "True," Linkara admitted. Them curiously, "So what would you have done if I'd have refused to keep quiet?" "Spoony smiled semi-apologetically. "I would've followed through." It was the answer Linkara had been expecting, but it still came as a bit of a blow, even if, intellectually, he knew it would've been necessary. Good of the many, future of humanity, yadda yadda yadda. None of that changed the fact that one of his best friends had been -- probably still was, really -- prepared to kill him. *gulps* Meep. *huggles Spoony and Linkara*
It was much easier to disassociate, to separate the zombies from the people they'd been before, and view them as rabid animals to be put down. He knew that the Critic, for one, had actively gone out to hunt them sometimes. Ooooo ... now that's an interesting insight into his character without being obvious about it. *takes notes*
"Why the fuck should we listen to you anymore, actually?" The Nerd. Great. If he couldn't even convince the guy who barely even know who Dr.Insano was, he really had no hope. He threw up his hands in despair. Oh dear ...
"If something goes wrong, how about we chuck him at the zombies as a distraction so we can get away?" the Critic muttered. "Oh, great idea," the Chick snapped at him. "Let's kill off the scientist the first time a prototype fails, that makes sense." "Thank you," Linkara said. Goggles decided not to ask. Heh ...
"Guess what?" Spoony beamed at her. "It worked." "I noticed," she grinned back at him. "And it looks like you're still in charge, then, oh Fearless Leader." The look on his face made her dissolve into wild giggling. SQUEE!
I LOVED the scene where Spoony brings up the vaccine and everyone is yelling at him and Linkara. That was really well done.
Thank you! :D
Poor Spoony, trying to take the weight for the whole team ... *huggles him*
Yeah, the words "poor Spoony" feature heavily in my plot notes for this story. There's this whole thing, not to mention the sheer frustration of trying to fashion a group of geeks into something resembling an army ("herding cats" is an understatement, really), and dealing with his time-displaced alter ego ... I'm surprised the boy didn't develop a drinking problem, really.
Stop flirting boys ... my exhausted brain can't take much teasing!
Ehehehehe! I apologise for drawing out that plot thread for as long as I did. But it was amusing. :D
Woohoo! Wall-slamming! Pent-up-rage-induced kiss! Two of my favorite things!
Oh, mine too! :D
adkfljalfdjaslfalfalfjaldfj YOU CANNOT LEAVE IT THERE! *ARGH*
YES I CAN! CAN and DID! I'm not good at smut, dammit, and there was a plot to get back to!
Bahahahhahaa!
Poor Critic, bwahahahahahaha! :D And really, poor Marz,. getting half her winnings taken away.
*sporfleDIEZ*
And again: poor Spoony. He don't get no respect, really.
Yeah, by rights Linkara should be keeping Insano from sleep, if you know what I mean ...
Snorf! Well, yes, but I don't think that was what Spoony meant, there. ;p
adlfajlfajflajljfaldjfalkfjalf I LOVE YOU!

*cackles evilly* I maen, what?
Ooooo ... now that's an interesting insight into his character without being obvious about it. *takes notes*
Heh, and I didn't even think of it as such. And to be fair, the going out hunting was probably That Guy's idea, nt the Critic's, although he did participate happily.

Heh, and I didn't even think of it as such. And to be fair, the going out hunting was probably That Guy's idea, nt the Critic's, although he did participate happily. Oh god, can you imagine them running around Chicago and torching zombies and laughing from adrenaline? Bet some zombies would hole up in subways, so the NC and ATG would make Molotov cocktails to smoke them out ... *is getting carried away*
Oh, you have NO IDEA! I started out with a Foe Yay pairing way back in '95, and I've been incredibly predictable about it ever since then. (A friend of mine forced (FORCED I SAY) me to watch Babylon 5 and predicted who'd be my OTP before I'd even watched a single ep. *faceplant*)
