The first time Billy walked into his and Teddy's new apartment the first thing he said was:

"Phenomenal cosmic power! Itty bitty living space….."

Teddy looked at him blankly for a moment before bursting out laughing.

"You did not just quote Aladdin!" He gasped between chuckles.

Billy grinned and hit his boyfriend's shoulder playfully.

"Shut up. You know I'm right. The landlord was definitely lying about the dimension on this place. This would only be a two person apartment if we were dwarfs."

"Is this where I start quoting Snow White?"

"Not if you know what's good for you." Billy teased.

Teddy laughed and wrapped his arms around his husband.

"As long as there's room for you, me and our comic book collection I'm happy."

"You're an easy to please man Mr. Kaplan." Billy teased, loving the fact that he could call his lover that now.

Teddy beamed at him as he wrapped his arms around his husband's neck.

"I'll never get tired of being called that." He promised with a kiss.

Billy smiled into their kiss before parting and replying.

"And I'll never get tired of calling you that."

Their apartment might have been small, old, and smelled like too much air freshener, but it was theirs and that made it enough.


When I first started reading Young Avengers I kept comparing Billy to a Genie in my head. (Which I might make a story of someday so don't steal it.) So I thought of Aladdin and that quote jumped out at me as being something that Billy would totally say.

Thus this was born.

Hope you liked it. Sorry it's only like a page long. I can't seem to write long Wickling fics yet.

Yours truly,
