Who: Tommy Shepherd, Billy Kaplan and possibly other members of the household after
What: Tommy being an idiot, Billy being a different kind of idiot and then both of them being idiots together.
Where: Their house
When: Let's say Friday afternoon
Warnings: Tommy and Billy's idiocy will eventually involve a lot of blood, although no one will be getting injured (it's magically delicious)

When he'd figured out the problem with the blood supply and crurovores going hungry, Tommy registered two things. One, people were willing to pay for blood. Two, he wanted some emergency money and he had blood. Even better, he was a speedster, so he had more blood than normal, right? With that thought in mind, it didn't take long for him to zip through the city and scout out all the places where he could get money for his 'donations' and to collect a sizable amount of cash.

So Tommy was feeling pretty satisfied when he stepped through the door of the house. Well, at least, he was feeling light on his feet. Or maybe he was just light-headed? Maybe he shouldn't have stopped at that last clinic...

He managed to figure out exactly what was going on when he tried going up the stairs to his room. Halfway up, his vision went white. Instinct pushed him into flopping forward instead of tumbling back down the stairs, but even with the adrenaline rush in him, he realized that finishing the stairs just wasn't going to happen.

"Craaaaap."

Tommy let his head rest on the cool step and closed his eyes, sighing. This was so uncool.

"Lie." There isn't even a pause between the end of Billy's question and Tommy's response. "Totally not telling her what happened. Plus..."

Tommy's eyes narrow and he grins. This is probably even scarier because he never let go of Billy's collar, so said grin is about two inches away from Billy's face.

"Pluuuuus, if you magic me better, she'll never have to know at all."

"Uh." Yeah that's just a little bit unnerving, the way Tommy's grins always are but in super close up, which just makes it worse.

"Have you seen me try to magic people better? I mean, it usually doesn't work that well." Okay so the two main examples there were Skrulls, and in kind of bad shape already, and this is just replacing a little blood, enough to make sure Tommy isn't too loopy or passing out, so it should be... easier, right? But still.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"Well. Yeah. But that was a while ago, right? Plus, also on Skrulls who are not me."

Tommy ducks his head into Billy's shoulder and leans just a little bit more into him, nudging at him much like an insistent kitten might.

"You could just try it, right? It wouldn't hurt anything..."

"Well, yeah, it was... a while ago. And Skrulls are kind of - different. Anatomically. In some regards." And in other regards they're just fine, thank you, he's not talking about that.

And he's only putting up with this because Tommy is technically an invalid right now, seriously.

"I guess I could try. But if it doesn't work, we are so telling Wanda, okay? I bet she'll fuss over you after she's done with the scolding. Hot chicken soup - or uh, what's high in iron... spinach?"

"Yeah, that's all I need to know about Skrull anatomy. Unless you wanna start telling me sexy bedtime stories, but that's a little weird so don't, okay?"

But even though Tommy doesn't like the thought of bedtime porn, he smiles into Billy's shoulder because he's totally won Billy over. Because Billy is a softie and will always bend to Tommy's will... at least, that's what Tommy believes.

"Yeah, sure, whatever, let's do magic now before Mom comes home and tries to feed me soup or something."

"No let's - not go there. I am very, very okay with not going there." He holds up a hand in defeat - while he might take some amusement from trolling Tommy with his love life sometimes, this is not one of those times, and it kind of loses the amusement factor when Teddy isn't there to share in the joke, anyway.

... Oops, he gave himself a sad, thinking of Teddy.

So, quickly glossing over that - "Sit down and try to stay still." Asking for the impossible, maybe, but then again, Tommy is already kind of... lolloping around. Like a very demanding kitten.

And he doesn't want to accidentally turn his twin into a cat, so he tries to banish that image and focuses on healing, and blood, and making Tommy better. "I want Tommy to heal I want Tommy to heal I want Tommy to heal and get his blood back..."
