Note(s): I got the idea from TwitterChanPychoChan. You should really read their stories, they are AWESOME! But yea, the idea came from them. ^_^

Chapter 1: Planning Presents

My eyes watched my lover sleep. His stomach rose and fell as he breathed. I loved him more than anything. I loved his beautiful brown eyes, black hair, and dark skin. Even his personality was wonderful. Somehow, I still wondered how I, the fire manipulator and school torturer, had ever fallen for the dark haired geek of the school plus the all great superhero Static. I sat up lightly. Tomorrow was Virgil's birthday. I had to get him something nice since I was always such an ass otherwise. I was always blowing this up (it made me feel better though!). It was starting to get on Virgil's nerves.

I got out of bed in only my boxers. Virgil turned and took up the rest of the bed. I smiled lightly. He was so cute. I went down the stairs of our apartment. Virgil had wanted to be with me without his father or sister always being there. Somehow, he had convinced me to let him stay at the apartment I was staying at. Ebon and Shiv could always come in and hurt him. I worried all the time now.

I threw on my red, tight, T-shirt and my tan baggy pants. I let out a yawn, sleep still clinging to my form. I just never got enough sleep these days.

I left the apartment, already knowing one gift I was going to give Virgil. Now I just needed another one to top it off. I went to the mall, for god knows why. I had been kicked out of this place for disrupting the peace many times. I had always come back though. Today, I fought my inner demon of trouble; I had to get something nice for Virgil. It couldn't have any burns on it. I went to the jewelry store first. I didn't know why. I guess because to me Virgil was my babe, and babe sounded like something for a girl. I moved past the jewelry store. I looked around, what would Virgil love? My eyes hit the comic book store; I shook my head. He already had enough comics. It filled his whole closet to the brim!

Something touched my back. I turned quickly; ready to deck whoever had touched me.

"Hey. You lookin' for something for V?" I let out a breath I was holding; Richie had accepted me as Virgil's boyfriend after two months. He fought with me for him during those two months. It had been so tiring.

"Yea." I wanted to keep this short and clean. Even if Richie had finally accepted me, he still let me know when he knew Virgil better. He always made sure to show how much of a better friend (or for him lover) he was for Virgil.

"What you planning to get him?" I put my hands in my pockets and leaned against the railing. I knew one present but I wasn't going to tell the geek.

"It's a surprise." I smirked, showing my teeth lightly. I promised Virgil I would be nice to his friend, Richie. I couldn't start a fight.

"So you don't know then." Richie smiled, his arms folding across his chest. My smirk disappeared. I really hated this kid. My hands itched to throw a fireball at him.

"It's a surprise." I repeated and turned away. I was going to lose it if I stayed. But I knew, turning meant I pulled out the white flag. Richie had won this battle, but not the war.

I know, short. I'm working on it though! Anyway, you gotta read TwitterChanPyschoChan's work! Everything that is greatness within Static Shock fanfic's goes to them!
