Teddy Altman // What If: Young Avengers (AU) // Barways

May 19, 2009 19:09

The young man who steps into the bar looks very much like one that we've seen before; same blond hair, blue eyes--he even has the same piercings. But this one's in boardshorts, a wetsuit top, and the sort of coral choker that is omnipresent in surfer subculture ( Read more... )

Billy looks up from doodling on his shoes and rolls his eyes. One of his parents' friends' kids. Great.

What was the Excellent Dude's name again? Tim? Theo? Something with a T. Billy sighs loudly.

alt_hulk May 19 2009, 23:45:01 UTC

The sigh is enough to direct Teddy's attention in his direction, and he flashes a giant smile in Billy's direction. "Hey, Billiam! Long time no see, man?"

The question is, what is Billiam doing on a surf shack in the beach, but these questions are ones that Teddy is trained to ignore. At least, in public. Sigh.

Billy smiles, but it's sarcastic and then frozen in place at the irritating nickname.

"Yeah, long time." Stab goes the pen into his shoe.

alt_hulk May 19 2009, 23:50:20 UTC

"So, how's it hanging?" Teddy asks, flopping down next to Billy without asking. Of course the seat's for him.

bluespells May 19 2009, 23:52:10 UTC

Passive-aggressive sigh. "Could be better."

alt_hulk May 19 2009, 23:54:13 UTC

Teddy effects an air of brotherly concern at that, but really, that's actually worrisome. He's never really gotten what beef Billiam--Billy--whatever has with him, but he at least tries, and he hopes that counts for something. Eventually. "Really?"

bluespells May 19 2009, 23:59:37 UTC

Billy has a beef with everybody, it's hardly just Teddy. The ... whatever, surfer guy, annoys him especially though.

Stupid popular preps.

"Uh-huh," he drawls.

alt_hulk May 20 2009, 00:01:30 UTC

Teddy shrugs, giving that particular conversation topic up for a lost cause, and instead asks, "What are you drawing, anyway?"

He'd been taught never to draw on his shoes, so he took it to his surfboard instead. Still, he'd never quite gotten the appeal of marking up something that you'll inevitably grow out of anyway. It just didn't seem like common sense.

It's doodles of smiley faces and swirlies and bloody hearts, drawn in no particular order or with any kind of skill. Billy yanks his pants leg up so Teddy can inspect it.

alt_hulk May 20 2009, 00:11:00 UTC

Teddy bends over a little bit, looking, and then sits back up after having examined every inch. "I didn't know you were an artist."

bluespells May 20 2009, 00:12:29 UTC

"Are you being sarcastic?" Because that would be startlingly like having a personality, in Billy's opinion.

alt_hulk May 20 2009, 00:14:19 UTC

"...no?"

(Was he supposed to be?)

bluespells May 20 2009, 00:16:42 UTC

Damn. Billy should have known.

"I'm not an artist."

alt_hulk May 20 2009, 00:53:58 UTC

"Oh. Well. Neither am I? I mean, I don't know. I wasn't ever allowed to draw on my shoes." He shrugs.

bluespells May 20 2009, 02:06:01 UTC

"Why would your parents care about your shoes?"

alt_hulk May 20 2009, 02:10:38 UTC

"My mom? I don't know. Apparently straight-A students don't doodle on their shoes or something."

Beat.

"Not... that you're not a straight-A student or anything; she's just trying to help me out."

It's difficult to explain.
