“Dude… your
girlfriend kicked your ass.”
“At least I
got a girlfriend,” Todd grumbled, his fingers gingerly exploring the lump on
his forehead. “Unlike SOME people in
this conversation!”
“Uh, yeah…
cause me being gay so means I need a girlfriend,” Saint John replied, brows arching. “Tell me again how this happened. You were dressed like a pirate?”
“Nooooooooo,”
Todd groaned. “I’m not gonna say nothin’,”
he bit out, tucking his fingers under his knee.
Word of the accident had spread fast, he thought bitterly. Shooting a glare at his sometimes friend, he
added, “Don’t look at me like that. Not
like you’ve never had an accident before…”
“Not like
this,” Saint John
contradicted, barely managing to stifle a grin.
“Worst that happened to me was a jaw cramp.” He snorted at Todd’s vaguely uncomfortable
expression. “How’d you think we did it?”
“I try not
to think about it,” he mumbled as Scott and Kurt crowded into the room. “Uh… what’re you all doing here?” Scott’s carefully neutral expression told
Todd all he needed to know. “Oh, God,
what? Go ahead, say it, get it over with!”
His head was throbbing now and it was not just because of the bump. Beast had confined him to the infirmary for a
few hours, just to make sure he did not have a concussion but had also ordered
him to *not* go to bed and to check in with him or Storm every few hours for
the next day or so. Todd wanted out,
wanted to go back to his room and just hide until the next scandal broke, the
next opportunity for mocking a friend…
“Hey, don’t
be like that,” Scott chided gently. “I
just wanted to come see how you were doing.
I heard that Rogue threw you into a nightstand.” His smile broke and he chuckled roughly, more
at Todd’s mutinous expression than the actual accident. “Oh, come on! It’s funny!”
“Ja, Kitty
calls it a sexident.” Kurt grinned
widely. “Said it was karma for us
getting busted so many times.”
Saint John made a hmmming
noise and tilted his head consideringly.
“If that were the case, wouldn’t it be Rogue getting knocked in the
noggin, not Todd?”
“True,”
Kurt allowed, “but no matter how you look at this, Todd dressing up like a
pirate and Rogue knocking him into a table is still funny.”
“Yeah…” Saint John grinned. “Todd got beat up by a girl!”
“Fuck y’all!”
Todd barked. “I did NOT get beat up by a
girl! It was an accident!” He flung off
the thin hospital type blanket and rose unsteadily, the blood pounding behind
his eyes and in his temples. “No way a
chick can kick my ass.”
“Apparently,”
Scott intoned gravely, a smile dancing at the corners of his lips, “she can.”
“I can take
any one of you on,” Todd growled, waving his arm dangerously. “I got bigger cojones than all you guys put
together!”
“Maybe that’s
why Rogue freaked and hit him,” Saint
John remarked idly to Kurt. “Fear of huge…cojones… hitting her in the
face.”
“Shut. Up.”
Todd folded his arms across his chest and looked every inch the disgruntled
teenager. “Seriously, I can fuck anyone
of you up. Any time.” He jutted out his
chin and added, “You’re just all scared chickenshit.”
There was a
trio of sarcastic murmurings and grumbles until Kitty breezed into the room a
handful of seconds later. “Todd! You
okay? Rogue is afraid to come down…” she
darted a glance at the other three males.
“Well, not so much afraid as embarrassed…” She gave Todd a dazzling smile and held out a
thick sheaf of papers. “She wanted me to
bring this down so you’d have something to look at while you were recovering
from your…er…”
“Sexident?”
Kurt offered helpfully.
Kitty
cleared her throat. “Yeah. One of those.”
Todd
frowned, jerking the papers from Kitty’s hands and tossing them onto the
bed. “That’s it. Tomorrow, all three of
you jerks meet me in the Danger Room. I’m
kicking all your asses.”
Kitty
blinked owlishly as Todd stalked past them towards the ensuite bathroom. “What’s his deal?”
“Oh,” Saint John waved it off
airily. “He’s going to prove his
manliness by beating us all up, apparently.
He didn’t like being mocked for a girl kicking his ass.”
Kurt winced
at the expression that crossed Kitty’s face.
“Wrong thing to say…” he groaned under his breath.
“I think,”
she said carefully, her expression neutral save for the fire burning bright in
her eyes, “that might not be a bad idea.”
With a sharp turn on one heel, she headed for the door. “I’m going to go help Mark in the library.
Hopefully, he won’t feel the need to prove his masculinity later.”
A/N Next chapter, a minor bit of drama and some manhood
issues… *eg *
