Office hours [all day]

[professor_lyman]

Josh was catching up on radio.

Josh was hearing about Deadpool and Aly.

Josh...was plotting.

Plot, Josh, plot.

The door was open.

Sometime after Aly was there, but not because he was avoiding her out of fear or anything because he was so not afraid of a scrawny blond spy.

At all.

Even if she had a crop in her hands.

Anyway! Deadpool peered into Josh's office warily. "She isn't here, is she?"

[professor_lyman]

Josh shook his head. "Not at the moment, nope." He glanced down at his paper. "I don't really need to add you to my list of people to deport, right?"

[mouthy_merc]

Deadpool just gave him a confused look. "What? No! She did that to torture me because I defended myself after the Mountie tried to steal my pants and ripped my shirt off." A beat. "Don't tell Arashi that bit. He gets jealous and stabby."

[professor_lyman]

Josh stared for a long beat, then reached for the nearest throwable object--his countdown until Bush was out of office daily calendar--and chucked it at Deadpool's head. "Make sense!"

[mouthy_merc]

Deadpool sighed and let it hit him. "She's starting the prank war back up? I'm thinking about retaliating with raw meat hidden in her closet."

[professor_lyman]

"I have a crate full of mice around here," Josh said. "Someone'd stuck them in my desk."

He thought about it. "But I like living, so pranking my girlfriend is probably a terrible idea."

[mouthy_merc]

"What if I say you had nothing to do with it?" Deadpool asked slowly. picking up the calender. "I still owe her for the marriage."

Even if that had turned out okay.

[professor_lyman]

"I'm not good with torture," Josh said. "I think she'd get it out of me."

Beat.

"Even without handcuffs."

[mouthy_merc]

That might have been a wince and a shudder there.

"She had a crop!" A beat. "I feel slightly dirty."

[professor_lyman]

Josh's eyes bugged out. "She had a crop?!"

[mouthy_merc]

Deadpool nodded. "Josh, I'm frightened. Hold me!"

[professor_lyman]

Josh, against his better judgment, held him.

[mouthy_merc]

Because Josh was awesome like that.

Deadpool clung back. "...let's never speak of this, 'kay?"

[professor_lyman]

"Speak of what?" Josh said, leaping back after two very manly smacks on the back. "We are manly men! Doing many manly things! Like watching sports! And talking about women on trampolines! And belching the alphabet!"

[mouthy_merc]

"And red meat!" Deadpool added helpfully.

[professor_lyman]

"And deciding which series of Galaxy Quest was better! Personally, I'm a big fan of old-school miniskirts in space."
