My Freak
By Agua
Summary: Blink is a freak, but Mush still loves him. First in a series of slashy one shots about Modern day Newsie Love. This is a Blush (Blink/Mush) ficlette all the way! Whooo! This is the first story I've been able to write since my rather severe arm injury, so it might be a little rough, as I'm out of practice. The torn rotator cuff and damaged bicep nerves made it difficult to type for long periods of time. But competing in that horse show was well worth it!
Blink is amazing. He's always got this amazingly adorable lop-sided grin on his face. And his grin always looks bigger than normal because of his eye patch. I love his grin. It looks so perfect on him.
Everything is perfect on Blink (Especially, in my opinion, me...). Yes, Blink and I ARE dating. In fact, we're more than dating. We're in love.
All of the other students at Grove High School think that it's weird that we're together. Don't get me wrong; they're very open-minded. There are actually a lot of other Gay and Lesbian couples there. They just think it's strange that Blink and I can love each other.
Blink and I are so different from each other that no one thought that our relationship would last more than a few weeks. I am the innocent, studious Math genius who is always perfect and on time and gets straight As. Blink, on the other hand, is the class clown. He's always goofing off in class, so he's lucky to have a C- by the end of the year!
What could we possibly have in common?
I wondered that myself, at first. When we first met, I despised Blink for being a freak. I would do anything to avoid him. He just brought out feeling that I didn't like. He scared me. I hated feeling for people. It was just too much trouble.
Blink was just so strange! He was always making perverted jokes that were guaranteed to make any normal high school guy laugh. They never affected me. When Blink set the school kitchen on fire, I stood my distance from the masses congratulating him.
Blink always tried to get me to talk to him, though. He leaned out of his way to catch my eye, patted my back when he walked by me in the hall, and he was always 'incidentally' hanging out in my first class when I arrived. He always tried so hard, and I always brushed him off. I had no time for freaks like him.
So how did we end up together when I avoided him every chance I could? I'll tell you.
It was Valentine's Day. I, of course, wasn't celebrating with the others. I had a Calculus Project due next week, and I wanted to finish it. What I didn't notice was that the freak was watching me.
Then Blink came up to me with a handful of orange blossoms tied in a bouquet with a rubber band. He just looked at me, grinned that adorable, lop-sided grin of his, and told me to have a Happy Decapitated Saint Day.
That's when I fell for him. I was lost. I was hooked. I asked him out later that day, and we've been dating ever since. That was a little over two years ago.
If you went to Grove on a normal school day, you would see us cuddling before my first class starts, or laughing about his latest prank. Or, on a Friday, you might see me 'helping' him clean the school for detention. Of course, when we're alone in the orange groves that surround the school, you can bet that there isn't a lot of trash being picked up.
Valentine's Day has always been a special holiday for us, because we consider it our anniversary as well as a national holiday. This is so much more than a high school relationship. This year on Valentine's Day, he gave me a promise ring.
He may be a freak, but he's my freak. And I love him for it.
