Third Floor Common Room; Thursday Night.

Chad was feeling restless. There was first the whole cheerleading thing (Pippi owed him big time. BIG time), and then the fact that his voice was still gone from all that talking on the radio last night. Sure, he never talked much to begin with, but it was frustrating to know that, even if he did have something to say, he couldn't. Since it was late and he didn't want to wake his roommate, Chad took his guitar to the common room, stretched out comfortably on the couch, and plucked away quietly.

[[ open~ ...and this was in the right spot this whole time I swear.]]

Teddy had gone hunting for Chad after the radio broadcast, finally finding him in the common toom. He grinned and plopped down on the couch next to him. "Yo," Teddy said, grinning like a lunatic.

Teddy sure seemed to be in a good mood. Which was good. Chad returned the smile, although his was significantly less and gave him a nod of greeting as hecontinued playing lightly. He wanted to ask what was up, but even the thought of trying to vocalize right now was painful.

"So, I hear I'm dating a cheerleader."

Chad halted the strumming with a dramatic hand down the strings, head immediately dropping in shame, and he grunted.

Freakin' cheerleading...

Teddy leaned into Chad' putting one arm over his shoulder and grinned. "Aww, come on! Don't be like that. Now I can tell everyone I'm seeing the hottest cheerleader in school."

Had Teddy seen the other cheerleaders? And he couldn't use the whole gay excuse, either, 'cause the other guys on the squad weren't so bad themselves.

But Chad couldn't argue, even if he wanted to, so he just set the guitar aside and showed his appriciation the only way he could right now: adoring cuddles.

Teddy was completely comfortable with cuddling. He shifted in his seat to get more comfortable against Chad's large frame. "I liked your radio broadcast," He said a minute. "But, Turtle is a girl, just so you know."

Chad nodded a little. He knew that. The joke wouldn't have worked if Turtle was a boy.

But he couldn't say that. So he just hugged Teddy a little tighter for a response.

"Are you being manly and stoic again?" Teddy asked, tilting his head up to look at Chad.

Manly, yes. Always. Stoic?

Chad shook his head a little, and cleared his throat a little as he stretched it and rubbed it to show Teddy that his throat was sore and his vocal chords a little worn out.

It took Teddy a minute to realize how Chad must have lost his voice before he laughed. "Is that from the radio?"

Chad nodded, and rewarded Teddy's cleverness with a nuzzle and a kiss on his cheek.

He rather liked this form of communication.

Teddy grinned and pressed a kiss on Chad's neck. "Feeling better yet?"

There was another nod and he cuddled in more.

"Are you busy tomorrow night?" Teddy asked.

Chad thought about it for a moment and then shook his head. The only thing he had was that concert, but he ended up selling the tickets and putting the money into the Mexico fund.

"Want to go to Ching Tai?"

Teddy just totally asked him out on a date. Chad regretted not being able to talk so he could make fun of him a bit. He grinned, nodding, nuzzling a kiss into Teddy's neck.

A date and kissing, this was a very nice night for Teddy.

"Cool," He said, giving Chad a relatively chaste kiss. Public room and all.

Chaste kiss, not-so-chaste kiss. Any kiss from Teddy was nice. Chad kissed him back and settled back into the cuddling, just really enjoying having him there with him. He liked this; it was really nice. And Chad always appriciated soft moments of quiet like this.

Nadia had come down stairs for a few minutes to put a note on Walter's door, and spotted Chad on her way back up.

"Hey, good job on the radio,"

Chad looked up for a moment. Good...job? That was good. Either she didn't notice some of the...less than nice comments he'd said about her, or she took them in stride, which was pretty cool of her. He smiled lightly, and thanked her by flashing the good ol' thumbs-up.

"Though," Nadia leaned against the doorframe. "For the record, if I do 'get around', it's because I travel quickly and not some kind of thing about me having sex with lots of people."

That? Would be an off-chord. Chad grunted a little....and realized that the best he could do was give Nadia the most apologetic look he could muster. Which was pretty good, especially considering how much he usually emotes.

That was totally what he meant. Honestly.

Nadia observed this, but wasn't quite done just yet. "And I don't hold things against Xander. Because Xander's never been anything but nice to me. And doesn't take his bad moods out on other people. Just wanted to make sure you knew that. I've got to go take care of Pippi, now."

Chad grunted a bit and looked at her before shaking his head lightly and going back to his guitar. It wasn't like he could argue with her. It was frustrating, though, to not be able to tell her that the only reason he let his bad moods refocus on her was because she insisted on plunking herself right in the middle of them no matter how much he asks her otherwise...Which was the whole reason he was annoyed with her in the first place.

While he still felt like he'd never before wished he could talk, he was glad for it, too, 'cause the last thing he wanted right now was another blow-out with Nadia.

Silent treatment from Chad. Interesting. "See you around." She turned and headed back upstairs.

He'd wave, but she'd already turned around and wouldn't see it. Maybe she'd notice the grunt, though.
