RaSta 04 [Pacific Rim, Raleigh/Stacker]
Title: RaSta (working title)
Author: Feygan
Fandom: Pacific Rim
Pairing: Raleigh Becket/Stacker Pentecost
Genre: action, romance, mpreg
Summary: Young Raleigh Becket has a crush on Stacker Pentecost. Shit happens, as it's wont to do.
The food that had looked and smelled so good was tasteless in his mouth. His right knee jiggled under the table and he felt nervous. He avoided meeting Stacker's eyes, afraid of what he'd see there, which left him staring down at his tray.
The silence was drawing out awkwardly long. Raleigh methodically ate forkfuls of food, figuring that once his tray was empty he'd be able to make an escape. There was already a list of excuses forming in his mind.
He could feel Stacker looking at him with that direct gaze. There wasn't a whole lot of judgment, but there was a heavy weight, one that affected him more than a thousand words.
He jumped when Yancy's foot tapped the toe of his shoe. It made his heart give an odd trip-thump and he swallowed hard before coughing loudly.
"Geez, kid, learn how to chew your food." Raleigh spared Yancy a glare out of watery eyes. He accepted the mug of watery apple juice and the whack on the back with ill grace. He could tell that Yancy was seconds away from laughing at him.
He didn't need the Drift to be able to read Yancy's mind. They'd been able to read each other since before there were Kaiju.
Raleigh gulped some juice and tried to swallow down the urge to cough. The last thing he needed was for anything to come out his nose. He already felt pathetic enough in front of Stacker.
"I'm okay." Raleigh coughed to clear his throat. He hated how raspy his voice sounded when he said, "Sorry. Wrong tube."
"I'm sure." Stacker nudged his own cup of coffee toward Raleigh when he saw the juice was gone.
"Thanks." Raleigh didn't really want any coffee, but he drank it anyway. There was no way he could refuse when Stacker's eyes were focused on him.
"So, Misters Becket, you have both done very well in the Jaeger Program. There's been talk of the two of you appearing on the Leela Turanga Show in the near future. How do you feel about that?"
"They want us on TV?" Yancy nudged Raleigh's shoulder. "I'd think they'd be worried we'd blow up their screens. You can't have this much handsome packed into such a small space without *something* igniting."
Raleigh laughed and nudged him back. "Don't say stuff like that. People are going to start believing your ego really is that big."
"It's not ego when it's true." Yancy grabbed Raleigh's chin and presented his face to Stacker. "Look at this mug, sir. Who could turn down a face like this. Whoo-ee, but if you weren't my brother I think I'd be in trouble with a heartbreaker like you."
Raleigh slapped Yancy's hands away. "Stop it!" He ducked his chin to avoid meeting Stacker's eyes.
He could feel his cheeks heating up and was glad his blushes didn't show up too red. He could usually bluff his way through a bout of embarrassment.
"So the two of you are prepared for your appearance on television?" Stacker asked.
"Prepared? We've been waiting our whole lives for this," Yancy said.
It was an effort not to give him the side-eye. Raleigh couldn't help thinking that Yancy was pouring it on a little too thick. He didn't want Stacker to think that they couldn't treat a situation as seriously as it deserved.
