Toddy & The BLOB

By WildCeed



"When did girls get so shallow?" Fred Dukes asks dejectedly. He set his hefty body at the table and took the cover off his extra thick milk shake.

"Uh, I dunno, yo. Probably after the 1920's." Todd's head was hidden in the fridge. He was sniffing at a sandwich he'd seen in there for about a week. After a shrug he grabbed it and hopped over to the table.

"How you figure that?" Freddy questions. He puts his head back and downs more than half of the shake. "Owwww" he groans a moment later holding his large hands to his head "Brain freeze"

Todd smirked. He had a real good joke about that one. After a second he mentally shakes his head. Nah, it'd be too easy and besides Fred hadn't done anything to him. "Uh, well, just think. Like 100 years ago girls woulda gone crazy for guys like us"

Fred massages his temples, thinking. "Hey, you're right. Girls woulda loved me!" he flexes his large arms "Big strong guy like me. I coulda did all the work."

Todd nods in agreement taking a bite of his moldy sandwich "Yeah, and they didn't take baths everyday like Pietro and them. You know why? Cause it wasn't important. They had tons of better stuff to do. I have tons of stuff to do today. Who cares about baths?"

"To bad we weren't born 100 years ago" Fred says sighing. He twirls his finger along the rim of his milkshake carton. "Yeah." Todd says from around the last bite of the sandwich "Eh, who cares. We don't need baths and we don't need shallow girls"

Fred looks up, gazing at Todd curiously. "Do you really think that?"

"Yeah, sure" the younger mutant say shrugging, oblivious to the other's peculiar glance. "Hmmm" Fred mutters as he reaches out and idly fiddles with a loose strand of Todd's brown hair.

Todd's eyes rose to the top of his head then lowered to look at Fred "Eh, Fred, yo."

"Shhh" Fred whispered. The idiotic look gone from his eyes replaced by one of never before seen seriousness. "You know. I think Pietro's suit looked really good on you. You looked.fast," he murmured

"Uh..thanks.I think.." Todd asked starting to feel uncomfortable. Fred's hand was stroking his cheek. Fred's hand was surprisingly soft.

"Want some shake?" Fred asked indicating the melting liquid with his other hand.

Now this was very weird. Fred rarely ever offered anyone any of his food. But Todd wasn't about to pass up a chance for hassle free treats.

"Sure." He stuck out his tongue aiming for the cup. His tongue flicked into the cup and back out perfectly except that some of it flew onto his nose. "Heh" Tod reached up to wipe the shake off only to find Fred's hand already brushing it off. Todd gulped and followed Fred's every movement. Fred reached down and slowly drunk the rest of the shake, his eyes never leaving Todd's. When the larger teen had finished his shake he set the cup down.

Todd looked at his worn sneakers. Fred had a large milk mustache on his upper lip. Normally that type of thing would be funny but now. For some reason he couldn't look at Fred.

Fred, on the other hand was having no trouble looking at the boy who had been his closest friend ever since he'd set foot into Bayville. The Chocolate banana milkshake was beginning to drip from his upper lip to his lips. It was now or never. Fred made his movements slow and deliberate so as not to startle or hurt the smaller mutant as he so easily could have. Todd's eyes widened as Fred's large mow hawked head lowered so that they were eye level.

"So, uh thanks for the shake man... I think I'm go-" Todd was cut off by the swift and sudden experience of having Fred's lips on his.

Sweet.

That was the first thought that came to Todd's mind as he involuntarily closed his eyes. The kiss was sweet and tasted like chocolate. And bananas.

Hot, lingering, forbidden.these were just a few of the adjectives that followed. Todd thought to pull away. Thought to explain how it was wrong and how he wasn't gay. But he couldn't. His mouth wouldn't work that way. Instead it started to do something that almost frightened him in how right it felt. His mouth began to kiss back. Draining his mouth from the slime that he was famous for, Todd began to put his long tongue to use.

A strange sound came to Todd's ear. He was pleased to realize it was the sound of Fred moaning. Moaning in a way he did to food.only not because of food.because of him! Fred raised Todd onto the table, dragging the smaller boy closer to him.

"I can't believe you did that!" a voice shrieked followed by the front door being slammed open. The familiar sound of teasing and bickering could be heard. "Hey Todd! Freddy! Where are you guys? Check out what we got!" Pietro yelled.

Todd jumped away from Fred quickly as if the other mutant was suddenly boiling hot. He hopped over to the doorway a frightened look to his face. "Here I am!" he called out to the others in the front hall. Hesitating, he gives a backward look to Fred. Almost simultaneously their lips upturn and they share a secret smile before Todd disappears into the other room.



A/N: Well, that's it. Do you like it? Hate it? Think that it should never have been written? Tell me. I have tough skin. This fic turned out sweet because I thought if it was to go um...further Fred might end up hurting poor lil Todd. And if it were to be Todd initiating the uh, event well, the picture I got in my head was just so funny I couldn't even imagine writing it. As you all know. I'm just a measly writer who owns nothing! Not even this dang computer!
