Fic: The Boys of Summer
Title: The Boys of Summer
Author: Khirsah
Fandom: Young Avengers
Pairing: Billy/Teddy
Word Count: 5,000 words
Rating: R/NC-17
Summary: It feels…pretty good, actually, once he gets past the reflexive embarrassment. The faint wind is cooler against bare skin than it was through the hot black cotton. The sun feels amazing against his shoulders. Billy drops his T-shirt into his lap and anxiously picks at the hem, feeling color staining his cheeks even as he refuses to look at Teddy. He’s pretty sure one look will send him diving back into his shirt, or sprinting across the field, or teleporting to Siberia or something and, wow, okay, he’s sitting shirtless next to Teddy Altman and he really doesn’t need to throw up or get turned on or anything, so his body had better behave right the fuck now.
Or: Billy is literally not cool.
Dedication: This is for slanted_edges, as a thank you for all your help with Teenage Wasteland. You are amazeballs.
Notes: Back when slanted_edges was slaving away on beta duty, I offered to write her a short fic as a thank you. We decided it would be fun if she sketched something and I wrote a story inspired by that. Because she’s extra amazing, she sketched two pictures for me to choose between. Someday I might write that Young Avengers Vietnam protest era AU, but until then…Billy with a tattoo.
