Prologue: Planning Big, Getting Small


Billy arrived in school normally like any other student would be, behaving normally just like how his mom would want him to be. Sometimes, he feels okay being alone, walking alone, yet trying to enjoy life as it is, accepting his own orientation and all that personal about his.

Then Cassie caught up with Billy and both of them chatted along the corridors of school. Well, you know, about school stuff, their relationship, their sex li- OKAY, so we're not going into details on that. No really, we shouldn't… at the moment.

While they were talking about how their classes are getting more drag because of the exams, Billy saw something that caught his eye next to Cassie; a small poster of a figure dancing in the middle of the street. WELL, that drawing looked like someone willing to die, waiting for a car to bang over it while waving its arms about in the air.

"This looks interesting," said Billy, tilting his head to get a better angle on looking at it.

"Ya think?" asked Cassie.

"Well yeah, it is," he replied. "I mean, who doesn't like dancing, I'm asking you."

"No, it's not that," sighed Cassie.

"What, you can't dance?" Billy asked.

"It's not that I can't dance, B." she replied. "It's just that I don't have someone else to dance with, exactly."

"Wait, I thought you ha-… oh."

"What?"

"…Nothing."

"Come on, spill it out already."

"It's nothing out of the ordinary, really. I just forgotten about my homework, that's all…" lied Billy.

Billy knew that Cassie fell in love with someone who happened to be an android, of all things. He just doesn't want to hurt her feelings and he could feel guilty about mentioning about it as well. The bell rang and Billy snapped out of his thoughts. "Damn, I gonna be late."

"I'll meet you at the tower, then," said Cassie as we walked off to her class.

Billy still held onto the poster and kept it inside his bag for later.


During class, Billy was trying concentrate on the lesson on calculus when his phone vibrated and everyone looked at him. He blushed a bit and picks up the phone. It was his lover.

"Billy, you got time now?" Teddy asked. And he even talks to him a very normal way. Wait… does this means that his class ended early today?

"Not now, I'm still having class right now."

"Er… oops…"

"Sir, this is not the first time."

"I know, I know, I'm sorry, alright?"

"I'll call you back later," and then Billy puts down his phone and switched it off. "Well then. Where were we?"


After class, Billy left and the first thing when he met Teddy, his first line was: "Why exactly do you have to call me during class for?" with a rather annoyed face on him. But he smirked a bit, anyway.

"My class ended early so I thought I could call you and all that." Teddy replied with a bored face.

"…wait… why does your class ended early?"

"Well it's because the teacher wasn't feeling too good. So he dismissed us earlier. Dunno why, though."

"Oh yeah, that reminds me, I got something to show you," said Billy as he took the poster out of his bag. He showed it to Teddy and he looked extremely blurred. "…what?" was Teddy's reaction when he saw the poster.

"Well? Do you wanna go there or not?"

"Dancing?" Teddy questioned. "In the public?"

"What's so wrong with that?"

"…Ican'tdanceI'msorry."

Wait, why does this reason sounded so familiar? Billy thought.

"Oh COME ON. I could teach you a move or two!" replied Billy. And I swear to God, Billy is incredibly good in dancing. He tends to lock his own room and dance while blasting his own music in the room when his parents and his little brothers are away. Well you could say he's trying to move away from his boredom this way. But sometimes he tends to be rather ashamed on how he dances off.

"I'm still not going there," said Teddy, not changing his mind on that request.

"Okay, then I'll go take that pudding off from you, if that's how it is," replied Billy. Teddy has a new obsession on food: pudding. No matter how sweet and tender it is, even Billy admitted, he cannot help the fact that it almost make him feel diabetic just by looking at it. Too much sugar, he thought.

"Nu-uh, you ain' stealing me pudding!"

"Then PLEASE go out with me for this," begged Billy.

"So this is a date, then?" Teddy asked.

"I'm trying to invite the others, actually," he replied. "So… please?"

"Okay fine, because you forced me to," sighed Teddy. Billy rejoiced and kissed Billy on the cheek just to make his lover ever better and making sure he won't regret it. "Can I have my pudding now?"


Author's Note: This is the 3rd fanfiction I've ever wrote on in general (you don't find the first 2 on my profile). BUT, this my first time ever to write based on Young Avengers. So I'm really sorry if this hasn't exceeded your expectations. Do review if you enjoyed it.

I was inspired by Step Up, Save the Last Dance and pretty much anything musical. So do expect this fanfiction to be dance-oriented. (I just can't help myself, I'm so sorry.)

Onto the summary, the gang was invited to a Street Dance party by Billy. Teddy doesn't feel comfortable with dancing because he doesn't even know how to dance whereas Cassie doesn't even know who to dance with. I'll be going through Tommy, Eli, Kate and Jonas tomorrow, if I had the time, that is.
