Basilisk living room - Thursday night

[fantastic_torch]

Coming into the living room, Johnny picked up the remote control and started channel surfing. Yes, he was shirtless. He was going for the fashion trend that was apparently Fandom. Nahhh, really it's just cause it was comfortable. 

But if someone tried to throw glitter on him, he might have to throw a fit or something and that would totally ruin his good mood.

"I need some popcorn."

(open for any cabin mates or just anyone who might want to stop by.)

Because he was Johnny Storm and that's what he did.

"Isn't it?" Now he hoped the gleeful bouncing, which didn't happen, was understandable. "So how have your workshops been so far?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny kept playing with his flaming hand, the light from it looked good bouncing off his shirtlessness.

"I'm going to make a point of meeting him next class, that's for sure." Grinning, he said, "They're great actually. I'm looking forward to tomorrow though. Flight and Flying has got to be awesome!"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

And it wasn't disctracting at all. Nope. Not at all.

Except it was.

"As in flying planes?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny slouched, bending his knees to prop his feet up, getting comfy, "Dude, I totally hope that's what the class is about." He cut his eyes at Teddy, smirking, "I might know a little about aircraft."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

The bragging was kinda cute. Stupid, but cute.

"Really?" Teddy asked, rolling his eyes.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Hey, that was Johnny for you. Ever the charming let's talk about me, k?

But he caught that eye roll. "What?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

And with a body like that, it worked for him.

"Nothing," Teddy replied, smirking at him. "Do you just flirt unconsciously or something?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Um. Did he?

"It's all good, right?" It was all he could think of to say.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy couldn't help but laugh at that. "As long as it's just that, sure."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Wait. What?

"Dude," he said with an eyebrow lift, "Was I uh, flirting just now?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Unless posing like you're in an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue is normal, kinda."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny looked down at himself, then back at Teddy, "Just relaxing, Teddy." In a totally hot way that was so very normal for Johnny.

Had Teddy been checking him out?

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Well Teddy did have eyes. And hormones. And, come on, shirtless Johnny! Even straight guys would check that out.

"Shirtless. In the living room."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Dude, it's my cabin. And what? You're not a fan of comfy?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Well my idea of comfy isn't really hanging out shirtless."

Mostly because that would get him jumped by Chad and dragged off to an alcove for the evening.

Which made Teddy want to take off his shirt now.

"Not to mention that it's kinda distracting."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny looked down at himself again. Then looked back at Teddy.

He might be a little confused, "I'm sorry. I can run put my shirt on; don't mean to make you uncomfortable. Just had a shower and just threw my jeans on, thinking nothing of it." And now Johnny might feel the tiniest bit insecure around Teddy. He must think he looked bad or...something.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy blinked. "I meant in the wow, that's nice looking way."

"Not that I have a thing for you or anything," He added quickly. "I mean, everyone would think that. If the couch was alive, it would also think you're hot and oh crap this is Fandom and I just cursed us with sentient furniture."

He covered his face with his hands. "I'm gonna just stop talking now."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

You'd think Johnny might be a little unnerved at Teddy's roundabout confession, since he was totally into chicks. But he wasn't. In fact he felt a little smug, maybe a little awed too.

No guy had ever said anything like that to him before. It was...interesting to say the least.

Grinning, he said, "Thanks for the compliment, Teddy. You had me a little worried there, thinking something was wrong with me." Then he petted the couch, "Don't worry, I don't think the furniture plans on coming alive anytime soon." Which he might live to regret those words one day.

"Give it time, this place has a tendency of doing things like that. My collection of Bitter Woman comics once got turned into pie. And then there was the time everyone's books started attacking them during finals week," Teddy replied, jumping on that last bit of what Johnny said. It was so much better than talking about thinking he was hot.

Man he hoped Chad wasn't the jealous type.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Dude, that is really freaking me out. I thought I'd heard just about all there was to hear on the oddities of Fandom..." Just when he thought he was fitting in, that he could deal with everything, a new story popped up.

Running his hand over his face, Johnny slouched on the couch, grumbling. "I could use a little excitment about right now."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"If it helps, the pie was pretty good," Teddy said, wincing at the needing excitement. If they got invade by something, he'd know who to blame. "And think of it as preparing you for craziness back home. If you can get used to this, nothing else can really be all that weird."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"I do like pie," Johnny said thoughtfully. "Actually I love pie. Wouldn't mind having some pie right now."

He locked eyes with Teddy, "That is a very valid point. I'll remember it when wackiness comes to smack me in the face."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Welcome to Fandom, where you'll start to get apathetic about alien invasion," Teddy said with a grin.

"Have you gone to Jeff, God of Biscuits yet? They have awesome pie there."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He snickered, "Thanks, Teddy. And no, I haven't been there yet but I am definitely making a point of going if they have awesome pie." But he whined a little, cause right now he was pie-less.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Poor, poor pie-less Johnny Storm. Maybe Teddy would bring some back to the cabin tomorrow.

"Oh! Stop by Sparky Repairs Tuesday of Wednesday and I can show you the robots there. They're kinda like A.I. only less high tech."
