30 Day OTP Challenge - Day 29 - Doing Something Sweet
Teddy hated tests. He never felt like he studied properly, what with his many hobbies and super-hero duties, and just somehow felt like the space in his head could be used for better things than to store a bunch of facts he was forced to remember, and were likely not to serve any purpose in his life.
That translated into quite the unhealthy sense of anxiety sometimes, especially with most of his classmates being in even worse states of panic.
And on top of that, there was the knowledge that if he didn't keep a certain average, he'd be suspended from the team.
Ugh, just… ugh, he thought, but just as he was about to reach for his phone to turn it off before the exam, the device rang.
The notification sound alone was enough to cheer him up some, as it was the sound he assigned for when his boyfriend texted him. It got better when he read the message itself.
It didn't make much sense - unless, of course, you were Teddy - but the general vibe was obvious. A lot of happy chatter, news of a new title they were both interested in coming out, and a declaration of movie-night, where they'll watch one of Teddy's all-time favorite films.
An idle smile rose to Teddy's lips as he kissed the screen where Billy's nickname was displayed before he put the device away. Trust Billy to put things in perspective and make it all better in one full sweep.
The test was a lot less intimidating in light of the promise the rest of the day - and night - held in store for him.
And he still got a B+, thank you very much. All thanks to an almost magical peace of mind.
