Title: Nightswimming
Fandom: Young Avengers
Pairing: Billy/Teddy
Rating: Explicit

Summary: “Hey, if I’m sober enough to not drown, I’m sober enough to…do other stuff.”

Teddy cocked his head. “I’m pretty sure that’s not a great standard to set for yourself, Billy.”

“Yeah, well, I’m pretty sure your face needs to be making out with mine right now, Teddy, so you should get on that.”

He laughed, dimples flashing; his lips were wet and swollen—from his kisses, Billy realized with a dizzy sort of joy. Oh God, this was really happening. “No, but seriously, Billy.”

“No, but seriously, Teddy, all I’m hearing is hi let’s French, so… Chop chop.”

OR: A “What If?” AU of Teenage Wasteland. What if Billy and Teddy hadn’t been interrupted at the pool?

Notes: Nightswimming is one of the Teenage Wasteland-related stories I’ve been writing for Patreon. This one is being posted as an apology, as I wasn’t able to get the next chapter of Space Oddity up for my birthday on the 27th, like I had hoped. Hopefully this will tide people over!
