Even though Ricky had grown up around Sweet Pea, he still wasn't quite used to his moods. He didn't think anyone was really, except Fangs.
Ricky had gotten jumped by the Ghoulies again. They loved to pick on him especially because they had a weird vendetta against his family that they didn't care to explain, so every couple of months they attacked him.
It wasn't like Ricky didn't fight back but it was one against five, at the least. So every so often he would show up to things with more bumps and bruises then he usually had. (He was clumsy, dangerously so.)
Today, he had shown up to a Serpents study session twenty minutes late with a split lip and a possibly broken nose, which immediately set everyone into a frenzy of rage. Sweet Pea most of all.
He'd ranted and raved about bashing in heads and wringing necks until Toni told him to shut up and do his math homework.
All this to say, Ricky was used to Sweet Pea's rage. He was not used to Sweet Pea being so, well, sweet.
He'd carried Ricky's bookbag home and when they found his door locked again he was the one to punch the window to open it and instead of leaving like he usually did, he offered to help Ricky clean his wounds. It was too nice and starting to get weird.
Wincing as Sweet Pea pressed a bag of frozen peas to his bruised ribs, he asked, "Why're you being so nice right now? Do you want something? Did you do something?"
Sweet Pea punched him on the arm, laughing when he groaned in pain. "How's that for nice, dick?"
Ricky blinked away tears from the pain. Okay, good to know he was still an asshole. "Forreal, I was being serious. What's up?"
"I can't just help you out after you get your ass beat?" Sweet Pea asked, making Ricky roll his eyes. "C'mon Rick," he teased, poking Ricky on the cheek, "Let me take care of you."
Ricky's stomach flipped at the words, which he was pointedly going to ignore.
"Fine, Sweetner, take care of me," he said, batting his eyes.
