Hello, loves, this will be my third submission for Newsies Forever's slash challenge! Yay!
On a better note, this chapter was written upon request from my lovely "Snickers and Birdly" who gave me the prompt! To which I say, if anyone would like to send me a suggestion on prompt I would be more than happy to try to write one on that. And on that same token; I hope I gave this prompt justice! :P
Prompt: A Slip 'N Slide, Poison Ivy, and Crayola Crayons
-COOLEST SPACER EVER-
"Nope, not happening…" Tony stated, his arms crossed over his chest in defense; his head shaking in disgust.
"Come on…just one time?" Sean practically begged as he flipped his wet hair, flicking some water at Jack who was standing next to him, causing the other teen to slap his arm playfully.
"No, Sean, that's nasty. Why would I want to slid down a piece of plastic which is probably covered in dirt…and…and sweat…just to smash into a piece of plastic that you broke an hour ago?" Tony asked and gestured to the rather sad looking Slip 'N Slide. He was correct, in that sense; it had been broken quite a while ago when both Jack and Sean had attempted to slide down at the same time; practically ripping the inflated barrier due to their combined weight. That, however, is not to say they stopped playing; no, not at all. This just meant they had more fun trying to see how far they would slide AFTER they had already slipped off.
"Because it's fun…" Jack stated, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Besides, it's not that nasty…it DOES have the little water spray thing that keeps it wet and clean…" Spot interjected, gesturing to the pathetic stream of water flowing down the mangled plastic. To be fair, that part wasn't their fault, Ryan's (Blink's) parents just had horrible water pressure; that's what you get for living in town.
"Yeah…because THAT makes me feel better…" The Italian rolled his eyes, "Why you even have that thing in the first place…it's for kids." He stated, causing the others to frown.
"Ryan found it in his garage, and being the NORMAL fun loving people we are we decided to blow it up…I see no problem with that…do you?" Sean asked, looking to Jack who shook his head, no.
"Whatever, I'm going to go inside with the others, if you guys get bored with this I'm sure I can find you some Crayola crayons for you to play with or something…maybe you can find a coloring book in Ryan's garage too…" Tony stated, sarcasm dripping from every word, and turned around.
"Wait!" Sean stated and grabbed his arm, Tony turned around and looked expectantly for his boyfriend to continue, "Come on, Tony, just one time…please? For me? Just once? I'm sure you'll see how much you love it if you try it just once…" he asked, no, begged; his normally harsh blue eyes now attempting to look soft and pleading.
Tony rolled his eyes, knowing that if he didn't do it just once his boyfriend would never shut up about it, and like always, caved, "Fine…" he stated and Sean grinned wide.
"Yes! I knew you'd say yes! Come on, it's so much fun…" Sean smiled and led him over to the slick plastic. Tony rolled his eyes and pulled off his shirt, handing it, along with his cell phone, wallet, and keys to the other boy and standing in front of the Slip 'N Slide.
He looked across from him, to where he would end and noticed it would land right near his friend's gravel drive way; then instructed the other boys to move it, just in case he went to far. The boys complied and placed it so it was right near a patch of bushes, which weren't much better…yet still better than rocks, I suppose.
Delving back into his childhood he crouched down then slid on the plastic a few feet before sliding off completely and, like any grown man would due to Newton's first law, slid right into the designated bushes. He got up and brushed himself off and walked over to his boyfriend who was grinning like mad.
"Wasn't that fun?" Sean smiled, his normally sarcastic or angry expression replaced with one of childish excitement.
"Eh…" was all Tony stated as he scratched his wrist, taking his belongings back in the process. He put his shirt back on and ignored his boyfriend's disappointed expression.
Five minutes and a few cusses later, Tony ripped off his shirt and walked over to a mirror; noting the red itchy rash now covering his arms, chest, and legs, "RYAN!" he yelled to his friend from the other room who walked in promptly.
"Where's the fire?" The boy asked, leaning down to tie his shoe.
"What the hell is in those bushes in your back yard?" he asked, scratching irritably.
"Poison ivy…why?" he asked, finally looking up at his friend from where his head was bent down, aiding in the process of tying, "Oh…dude…that sucks…" Blink laughed and Tony sent him a glare which would make the strongest of men cry.
"I'm going to kill those morons…" he mumbled as he walked out of the room to find some calamine lotion.
"I'm really sorry about this, Tony…" Sean said; taking another cotton ball out of the bag and squirting some of the pink lotion onto it; adding to the "S" he was playfully drawing on Tony's stomach.
"This is why I don't listen to you idiots…" The Italian grumbled, "I hate you guys…"
"No, you love me." Sean corrected with a smirk, placing a quick kiss on his boyfriend's lips, happy that none of the poison ivy got on his face.
Tony shook his head, a similar smile playing on his lips as well, "Yes, stupidly enough, I do…"
