This is 2 days late, but I hope you like it.
This goes out to packmulesrus who gave me the idea for it.
ONESHOT STARTO!
Chipeo and Squishyette
Johnny's POV
It was a warm Tuesday afternoon.
I was relaxing by my pool accompanied by the rest of my ROR brothers and Chow. He brought along his boyfriend, and my former frat brother, James P. Sullivan, who just happened to be asleep on Chow's chest and Chip's boy toy, Squishy.
Randy was curled up on my lap and Chip had Squishy in a near choke hold on his lawn chair. Reggie was tossing Chet into the deep end on the other side of the pool while Javier was sun bathing on a chair of his own not far from mine.
"Why didn't we just come here instead of the beach?" Randy thought out loud.
"Because I didn't want a blood bath in my backyard if we did. Nothing bad has ever happened on the beach."
Chow coughed awkwardly as he shifted in his chair.
"Anyways," he began, "There's something that's been nagging at the back of my head."
"What?" Sulley chimed in, more awake than I gave him credit for.
"How the hell did Chip ever get with Scott?"
"Yeah..." I agreed, "How did you guys get together?"
Chip cleared his throat. "It's quite a story. A story that just so happened to start in the lair of the book demon."
3rd Person POV
February 6th, 2013
Chip was sitting on a red bean bag chair deep in the depths of the library. It was the only place he could read his favorite comic books without his frat brothers harping on him.
Or at least that's what he thought seeing as he was in the top fraternity on campus.
He'd usually use his room, but that wasn't an option as Johnny was making him do recon for the next scare game.
"So Deadpool... What are you getting into today?" Chip whispered to himself as he flipped the page.
On the other side of the shelf, Scott, aka Squishy, was reading the same comic in a similar chair.
He could read wherever he wanted to, but Chow was training in the backyard, loud as hell, and it didn't seem like he'd be stopping anytime soon.
"I hope Deadpool gets into a sword fight this week." Squishy squealed as he opened his copy of the graphic novel.
Suddenly, Chip's phone rang out knocking them both from their protective bubbles of imagination.
"Hello?" Chip whispered.
"You done scoping out the library yet?" Johnny's voice drawled through the phone.
"No, now leave me be until I get back. I don't plan on getting caught by the librarian today or ever."
He slipped his phone back into his ROR jacket pocket, but was interrupted by the pink monster that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"H-hi..." Squishy greeted him shyly.
"Hey," He returned the gesture as he hid his comic behind his back. "You're Scott, right?"
"My friends call me Squishy. Is that the new copy of Deadpool?" Squishy pointed at the corner of the comic sticking out of his jacket.
"What? No... It's Scares Illustrated." Chip threw on a fake smile as he slipped it farther behind his back.
"You don't have to lie. I won't tell anyone. I have the same issue. See?"
Chip looked up to see the same comic he was just reading.
"You too, huh?"
"Yeah, Deadpool is awesome!"
"But do you know your Pool like I know my Pool?" Chip challenged the pink horned monster as he gestured to the beanbag chair next to his.
"I say," Squishy sat in the chair, "Bring it on."
"Deadpool's real name?"
"Easy. Wade Winston Wilson, but that's only because he can't remember his real name due to his healing factor accelerating his identity disorder. Weapon of choice?"
"Dual Beauroyre katana or dual DT 1981S handguns. Whichever would blow more stuff up at the time. Favorite portable food?"
"Pizza! Now recite the only haiku he's ever written."
"My haiku. I hate broccoli. It's disgusting. Why can't it be meat?" They both repeated in unison.
The silence that overtook them wasn't awkward or weird; just extremely warm and comforting.
"So you know your Deadpool. Respect." Chip smirked at Squishy.
"And you're no poser either."
They shared a laugh as Chip pulled out his copy of Deadpool.
"Hey," Squishy began, "I know we're kind of rivals, but would you want to hang out sometime?"
Chip thought for a second. He didn't have any beef with the Oozmas; that was all Johnny.
"Sure. You seem like a cool guy. Let's say Friday at 7?"
"Yeah. That'd be great!" Squishy smiled wide as he pulled out his phone.
They exchanged numbers and Squishy left for his house.
Friday came like lightning and Chip texted Squishy the location early in the morning: Behind the School of Scaring.
The time came and Chip was leaning on the graffitied wall, wringing his hands in a nervous manner, a habit he picked up from Randy.
Squishy was late. Or maybe he wasn't showing up. Chip started to get even more nervous than he thought possible.
But why? This wasn't a date. It was just two friends getting together to hang out. Nothing more... Or was it?
"Chip... Are you okay? You're sweating."
He jumped when he noticed that Squishy was standing right next to him.
"When'd you get there?"
"About a minute ago. So where are we going?"
Chip's face was red. He wasn't sure where they would go. He could ask him to go for a walk in the park, but someone from ROR or OK might see them... Then an idea struck him in the face.
"How about we go to that new café that just opened on campus: The Blank Canvas?"
"Sure. Let's go." Squishy replied as he pulled Chip in the direction of the coffee shop.
They sat in the shop and talked about random topics of interest for hours. The entire time Chip kept asking himself if it was a date.
"It's getting kind of late. Want me to walk you home?" Chip offered.
"That'd be nice, sure. I really like hanging out with you." The pink monster replied as they walked side by side to the residential area of MU.
Sometime during the walk, Squishy grabbed Chip's hand. He surprisingly didn't notice until they reached his house.
"Thanks for walking me home. I had a great time." Squishy said shyly.
"No problem. So did I."
"So... Can we hang out again soon?"
"I don't see why not."
They stood there in an awkward silence before Squishy spoke up, "G'night Chip." He croaked out as he kissed his cheek and ran up the steps to his house.
Chip stood there, completely speechless.
"He wants to go out again? He thought it was a date too? He likes me?" The questions cycled through his head as he walked off towards Frat Row. He wasn't going to sleep tonight, that was for sure.
"So after that, the rest was history. We had our first kiss during the party at OK's new frat house and we kept our relationship incognito until Chow promptly outed us." Chip finished explaining as he realized everyone was in a circle around him and Squishy, their previous comfort forsaken for the story.
"So you successfully hid your relationship from us with little to no effort on your part?" Reggie blurted out when he thought it would be okay too.
"Umm… I'm going to say yes," Squishy answered as he felt a hand grope him, "Watch it, Chip. We're not alone."
"I can't help myself. You're just so…"
"Squishy?" He answered as he turned around in Chip's lap and connected their lips.
"Isn't that sickeningly sweet?" Chow joked as he levitated some pool water over the two lovebirds, dropping it on top of them and soaking them to the bone.
"The fuck, Chow?" Chip shouted as he shook off the excess water.
"It's initiation. You've just been splashed into dating Squishy."
"That makes no sense!"
"Neither does hiding your relationship from your friends. Now we're even. Ha.
"*sigh* Fair enough…" He agreed as the water evaporated at an accelerated rate.
"Seriously, Chow. Cut the god modding for a second. You abuse your powers more than I do…" Johnny groaned as he flung a ball of water at Chow.
"Oh yeah…? Take this!"
In seconds, an all out water war was taking place in Johnny's backyard.
"Our friends are weird." Chip said.
"Yeah… But they're good weird." Squishy grinned as he leaned back into Chip's embrace as a ball of water barely missed his face and beamed Johnny in his.
Today was a good day. Now if only they could stop the water war they started…
