Chapter Sixteen
A/N: I OWN NOTHING!
Teddy looked at all the people sitting in his living room and realized one thing. He was completely fucked. Getting up, he walked into the kitchen and started pulling out pots, pans—anything that would prevent him from performing any more magic.
"Need some help?" a lone voice in the doorway broke into his thoughts. Turning around, Teddy saw that it was Blaine's brother. Booper, Cutter…oh yeah Cooper!
"No thanks," Teddy said bluntly. "Where's Blaine?"
"With Kurt," Cooper said with a smirk. "I would hope you lock your doors because at the rate those two were going I'd say clean sheets are in order."
"Blaine wouldn't do that with Kurt's dad in the same house as him," Teddy shot back. Cooper chuckled.
"All the adults left to go get some form of food. Finn's mom proposed a potluck and Rachel's dads agreed instantly. Little Blainers is in the clear for the next twenty minutes."
Teddy shook his head. "Excuse me," he said to his guest. "BLAINE ANDERSON! KURT HUMMEL! IF YOU ARE IN MY BED, YOU'LL REGRET IT!"
A thud and scurried footsteps told Teddy that his two guests were changing their course of action.
"Now where were we?" he turned back to Cooper but he was on the floor laughing. Tears were streaming down his face.
"Uhh…." Mike raised an eyebrow as he walked in. "Is he alright? We heard the screaming from the other room."
"He's fine," Teddy said. "What's up Mike?"
"Well Blaine has a bag full of Disney movies—don't really know why— and Santana has a DVD player—not sure where she got it though—, and we were wondering if we could watch them while we waited for the adults to get back with the food."
Teddy gave the other boy a blank look. "What's Disney?"
That one phrase brought silence into the kitchen. Cooper stood up, all trace of laughter gone from his face.
"What's Disney?" the older boy gasped. "Only God's gift to mankind! I was raised on The Lion King! Blainers was raised on Mulan!"
"I have no clue what those two things are," Teddy said. "My world isn't advanced like that yet."
He glanced out the window, thankful for no sign of owls of any sort. Maybe it was the fact that he was seventeen and didn't have the trace on him any more—either that or Kingsley had just given up. It was now March after all.
"BLAINERS! YOU NEED TO EDUCATE TED ON DISNEY!" Cooper shouted. Teddy rolled his eyes but blinked when the younger brother showed up in about twenty seconds.
"What were you doing and where were you doing it?" Teddy asked as he noticed the raven-haired boy's hair all askew and free of gel.
"You don't want to know and in the bathroom," Blaine replied. "Now, what's this I hear about educating someone on Disney?"
"Him," Cooper pointed to Teddy. "He doesn't know anything about Disney."
"Le gasp!"
"Seriously?" Teddy raised an eyebrow. "You're acting as if I've mortally offended you."
"You have," Kurt came into the kitchen. "Disney is the best, how could you not know what it is?"
Before Teddy could respond, Blaine and Mike had begun to drag him into the living room.
"Disney movie marathon," Kurt announced. "Teddy has never heard of Disney."
"Seriously?" Rachel asked, a hand flew to her chest. "This is a wrong which must be fixed."
"And I thought Molly was the dramatic one," Teddy muttered under his breath as the Gleeks scurried to find a movie that would be a good first timer's pick.
"Cinderella?"
"No!"
"How about Snow White?"
"Blaine, those things are old as fuck! Show some of the newer movies."
"COOPER!"
Teddy chuckled as the brothers took over the movie mission. "Here, why don't I pick one?" he suggested.
"Not a bad idea," Sam nodded, and for the first time Teddy noticed two little kids sitting on his lap.
"His brother and sister," Mercedes answered for Sam, upon seeing Teddy's raised eyebrow. "Now pick whiteboy, before I pick for you!"
Teddy chuckled again and looked at the movie choices. There wasn't really much that appealed to him, so he picked the first one he liked: the one with lions on the cover.
"LION KING FOR THE WIN!" Cooper shouted with glee when Teddy revealed his choice.
"How is it you're the older one of the two?" Teddy asked.
"I have no idea," Blaine replied to the question. "Mulan has to be next though."
"Then Little Mermaid!" Kurt piped in.
"Beauty and the Beast!" Mercedes and Tina shouted at the same time.
"Sleeping Beauty of course," Rachel replied with a shrug.
"Cinderella," Quinn said with a smile. "It's always been my favorite Disney movie."
"Hercules!" Sam and Mike called out at the same time. Finn and Puck nodded their approval.
"Snow White!" Brittney said with a huge grin. "What do you want San?"
"Nothing," Santana shrugged. "Let's just watch these movies!"
0000
"I thought you said this was a happy movie!" Teddy growled after watching Simba almost get killed by hyenas in the Elephant Grave yard. "That is not happy!"
"Geez, will you just watch?" Santana told him as she leaned into the sofa with a smirk. Rachel was mouthing the words to the songs, as was Kurt. Cooper…well, it's hard to believe but the twenty something was mouthing all the words to the movie before the characters said them.
"I worry about him sometimes," Blaine muttered to Teddy.
"Sometimes?" Teddy raised an eyebrow. Turning back to the screen, he wished he hadn't upon seeing Mufassa fall to his death. Teddy got up and went back into the kitchen.
"Maybe that wasn't a good first choice," he could hear Mercedes whispering. The movie had been paused.
"Well, what are we supposed to do? All these movies deal with death of some kind," Santana shot back and Teddy could almost hear her shrug. He walked back in and sat down.
"I'm good," he told them. "Just play."
Rachel played the rest of the movie, Teddy hardly paying any attention at all to the screen. Not that he really wanted to anyway.
"Mulan next little brother?" Cooper asked and Teddy just hoped that this one wouldn't involve parental death. Luckily it didn't but Teddy was amazed that this was considered a kid's movie! Innuendo everywhere!
"How is this a kid's movie?" he muttered.
"You'd be surprised what we missed when we were kids," Kurt told him. "I'm sure those siblings of Sam's have no idea what they're missing."
The Little Mermaid was, thankfully, normal but Teddy could contest to the image of mermaids.
"Please! They look nothing like that," he scoffed upon seeing Ariel for the first time. "Talking seagulls?"
"Will you stop taking the magic out of this movie?" Kurt snapped.
"I'm a wizard," Teddy reminded the other boy. "Magic is my forte."
Kurt rolled his eyes and Teddy turned back to his Disney lesson. Thankfully, the parents arrived just as Beauty and the Beast was finishing up.
"So, what were you kids up to?" Carol asked as she began dishing the potluck meal.
"Oh, just watching movies," Finn shrugged. "The usual."
The adults smiled at the kids, and began to dish the food while the rest of the movies were played. That's when Teddy started to get an idea. When Teddy got ideas, it usually ended badly—for someone else. Luckily no one else realized the look on Teddy's face spelt trouble. Of course, no one saw the same look on Rachel's face, or the calculating look Santana was shooting her housemate.
"This is delicious Mrs. Hudson," Teddy praised after eating Carol's lamb stew. Despite the warm weather, the stew was cool enough that it was enjoyable.
"You're quite welcome dear," Carol said with a smile. "Everyone, please take seconds. There's more than enough to go around."
"Hey Santana?" Teddy asked after a while.
"Yeah Spring Load?"
"Where'd you get the piano?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Santana asked with a smirk, causing Teddy to groan.
