What am I even doing - Canon is What's Your Number

[freelicks]

....Okay.

First of all, this... isn't my apartment.

Second of all, I'm pretty sure you're not the one I brought back in my apartment last night.

And thirdly, you look like a crazy person. Even crazier than 6C, since you've been lost on that tumblr page for the past three days. You know, the one with that guy that looks like me but probably doesn't put out like me? I mean come on, he played Captain America. No one gets laid in tights like those.

So unless you're holding my newspaper hostage, I suggest just... letting me go.

You're a peach.

You'd actually be surprisingly wrong about that.

[freelicks]

....Really. [Mr. Shea does not sound convinced.] And you're Spidey, right? Because all the superheroes just... chill here.

[arach_nerd]

[Has he seen the girls Peter's dated?]

Pretty much, yeah.

[freelicks]

[Sorry he's too busy getting laid.]

Don't you have bigger and better things to be doing? Saving the world from the evil clutches of Doc Oc and scaling buildings just for the heck of it? It's what I'd be doing. Well, in between the obvious.

[Steve is sadly used to his mundane's Tumblr habit and how much she enjoys images from that canon even if she hasn't seen it yet.] Um...How did my love life end up on your mundane's Tumblr?

[freelicks]

[Oh, hey... Captain America... this isn't weird at all.]

No no, lack of love life. And what does love have to do with anything?

[like_a_gerbil]

[He's used to the weird...He'd worry if his life wasn't weird.]

There isn't a lack of a love life. [There's a hint of amusement in his voice. Things have changed quite a bit since Lorraine cornered him decades ago.] And, for me, love has to do with a lot of things.

[Oh hello there look-a-like. Johnny will give you a long stare.]

So you're not Captain America? And my mun tells me you are not me either, so who are you?

Speaking of tights... you would be surprised how many girls finds them attractive. It's like an army uniform but more tight fitting.

[freelicks]

Nope, definitely not the Captain. Name's Colin.

You see, you'd be unsurprised with how many girls find me attractive without the tights.

[204degrees]

Johnny Storm. [Extends hand.]

Not having any luck with the ladies then?

[dedicatedbitch]

I think she should keep holding your newspaper hostage, personally.

[freelicks]

Ganging up on me now, huh? That's not very nice.

...And you are?

[dedicatedbitch]

Brooke Davis. [ She offers him her hand. ] And not ganging up so much as appreciating the view. If holding the newspaper hostage means you're sticking around...

[freelicks]

So very nice to meet you. [Oh hi there. He catches her hand and does the very right thing, bringing the backs of her fingers to his lips in a soft kiss. Cliché? Yup. But it works.]

We-ell. I might not even need the newspaper as an excuse at this rate.

[dedicatedbitch]

[ Brooke's been hit on enough times that she really shouldn't be reacting to that kiss to her knuckles and yet she can't help but grin. ] Really? Well, lucky me.

You got a name, or should I just called you Newspaper Boy?

[freelicks]

[So getting laid tonight oh yeah.]

I have a name, but you might have to work for it to get it. Newspaper Boy works too.

[Charming. OH SO CHARMING SMILE.]

[dedicatedbitch]

[ The look she gives him pretty much reads "Bitch, please." ]

What makes you think I'm interested enough to work for it?

[freelicks]

[He throws up his hands in a no harm, no foul gesture.]

Heey, no names need to be exchanged here. You can call me Newspaper Boy all night if that's your thing.

[dedicatedbitch]

Your ego's making me regret hitting on you. Just so you know.

[freelicks]

You didn't seem to mind it while you were busy staring. But I'll play nice. Name's Colin.

[dedicatedbitch]

That's because I didn't know the size of it when I start staring. [ First name's better than nothing, at least, so she nods slightly. ] Colin. There aren't many people in the world with your name.

[freelicks]

Really? Never noticed. I don't spend all my time remembering a guy's name.

[Or girls, really, but you don't need to know that.]

[dedicatedbitch]

There's only a couple others I can think of, so congrats on being pretty rare.

[themanoutoftime]

What do you mean "played" Captain America? I am Captain America.




And you're wrong about the tights.

[freelicks]

You may be Captain America, which is awesome, but... you know what, nevermind. Your shield is badass, by the way.



Am I? You saying you can pick up chicks in tights?

[themanoutoftime]

Thank you. Nevermind what?


I don't know about baby chickens, but any time I go out in uniform, women are generally very uh-- eager to see me.

[doyoufondue]

That's a little personal. ...And they're not exactly tights.

[ hi. mun loves you and here are icons ]

[freelicks]

Nothing's personal on the internet, buddy. And on the stage? [Eeeeeh.] No man should go through that, especially one as good looking as me. You. ...Us?

[HI. Mun loves you and you are the greatest! Thanks!]

[doyoufondue]

...Well, the stage thing wasn't- That was a while ago. [ dancing monkey time was embarrassing okay ] ...What do twins use?

[ O7 no problem. ]

[freelicks]

Riiight. [Yes, yes it was.] Generally? Latex works just fine. They had those back in the forties, right?

[doyoufondue]

Yes, they had those- That was not what I was asking. I meant the 'we' thing.

[freelicks]

Oh. Well. I think 'we' works out fine, yeah. Haven't been around too many twins to notice. Although there was this one time... I can't say I was quite as interested in what they had to say as much as what they were doing. But I'll keep that in mind for the next time.

[doyoufondue]

...What? I don't really need to know about that.

[freelicks]

[Shrug.] Hey, you asked.
