teddy 𝕂𝕆𝕍𝔸ℂℍ

The library was usually the last place to find Teddy. he’d tried to start working on a paper after coming from practice but that ship had long since sailed. teddy had pushed himself too hard the last few days between drinking & working out so his solution? self medicating with loose painkillers & hydrating with a bottle he stole from the ballroom this weekend. he’d claimed a spot on the floor between two stacks, a book open in his lap but his eyes staring out to nowhere. as the shadow of a person approaching, teddy’s gaze still didn’t break. “I just... why the fuck are there so many books? and why are they all, like.... here?”

So not gonna lie Teddy has gotten like a little stale tbh so I’m gonna freshen him up a bit. his personality & background are gonna stay the same but I’m thinking it’s time for him to spiral so catch him being drunk all the time & testing new drugs until something bad happens 🤘

Savannah landed her last pirouette and took a breath. She had been working on this routine for close to three hours now with little to no break. She closed her eyes as she let the music play in one ear and out the other. She took this moment to catch her breath before pausing the music to open her eyes there was a figure standing at the door of the dance studio. She fought the urge to jump as she was slightly startled, otherwise keeping her cool. She didn’t want to break in front of someone she might not know. “I have the studio booked for at least another fifteen minutes.” She spoke coldly, without missing a beat, towards the other as she made her way over to the mirror to take a swig of water from her bottle. “And it’s only polite to knock when entering a room.” She turned towards the door to finally get a good look at who was interrupting her.

“THINK YOU CAN LIGHT ME UP?” the south african mumbled, words muffled by the cigarette that hung between pink lips as bright orbs locked with the other’s, “my hands are occupied.” to prove her point she lifted up her hands which were sporting a fresh coat of newly applied nailpolish, “there’s a lighter in my back pocket. don’t be shy. as they say in finding nemo ‘touch the butt’

@yalestarters​

“Girl, I cannot touch your butt.” Teddy quipped back immediately, balancing his own cigarette as he spoke. “At the top of the very long list of reasons though.”  He raised his own hands, freshly manicured with a still damp clear coat. “But lucky for you & me, I have my own.” Delicately, Teddy wedged a rhinestoned lighter out of his pocket & sparked the end of her cigarette before lighting his own. Taking a deep breath, Teddy exhaled the pale cloud. “I love your accent, by the way.”

chandler’s legs were sore as she leaned over the bar in the cafe. her mind was filled with thoughts of her most recent phone-call with her father, and how she had to fill him in on what she was learning and also give him real life applications of the concepts. chandler wasn’t what one would say ‘pussy-made’ but when it came to her father, all of her confidence flew out of the window. she’d never let him know that, but still. doodling on napkins helped her ease her mind especially when work was slow. she’d been doodling for what felt like two seconds before she realized it was time to lock up, but before she could even get around to the other side of the counter the little bell on the door was sounding in the arrival of a last minute guest. “hey” she called out from the back, “we’re actually closed.” her voice echoed in the empty cafe.

when teddy went to practice, the sun was out & the temperature was... manageable. now, some seven hours later, the temperature was just under zero & snow was falling from every direction. left with no coat, no car, & no available uber, teddy was sprinting down the street in shorts trying to make it home before he froze. he only made it about half way before he ducked into the first unlocked store front he saw. “oh jesus christ, it’s fucking cold outside!” he shouted as soon as the heat reached his skin, happy to breathe & not see it in front of his nose. teddy was rubbing his hands against his legs when the other voice caught his attention, immediately making him whine for mercy. “Noooo, please please please! Just like one cup of coffee, it doesn’t even have to be fresh or fancy, just anything that isn’t iced. I’ll even take it to go.” Teddy had moved to the bar as well, looking desperate as all hell. “Pleeeeeease.”

crunch. the sound of vincenzo biting into the crisp apple practically echoed through the halls of the pi tau house. it was strange for the pi tau house to be empty, on any given night people could be found stumbling about until ungodly hours. yet, it seemed that the brothers were taking a break from partying from the night, which came as a relief to the male. he took another bite of his apple, this time accompanied by a satisfied sigh as he moved to the living room. ready to throw himself on to one of the couches and spend waste several hours watching television. his excitement was short-lived, however, as he entered the room to find someone had beaten him to the couch. yet, curiously enough, not the television. “are you going to watch something?” he asked loudly, and rather bluntly as he took yet another bite of the apple. @yalestarters​

“I was really looking forward to sweater weather… but now it’s just plain cold and I hate it.”

"Girl, literally.” Teddy whined, shoving his hands deeper into his pockets. “I’m about two seconds from packing up & hitting the Caribbean this weekend like damn, I can’t deal with this and it’s only November.”

James was walking around, looking for a free table to sit and eat his meal but that place seemed more crowd than the others. He spotted a person sitting alone at a table and decided to approach. “Do you mind if I sit with you? I-I don’t wanna bother you.” @yalestarters​

Lunch was one of the few meals Teddy ate in the cafe. The crowds weren’t his favorite & the options that met his standards were lacking- but it was right across from his next class. He thought he’d done a good enough job radiating ‘stay-away-from-me-energy’ by scrolling through twitter endlessly and avoiding eye contact but he’d apparently failed. “Well of course. I purposely sat alone so someone would sit with me.” Teddy replied sarcastically, barely looking up from his phone & continuing to scroll for a moment before setting his phone down on his tray. “Sorry, that was rude. I’m not always that rude. It’s been a rough day.”

mitchell rolled his eyes playfully at the smaller male and countered, “yeah you must have really run the fabric store out of business with this one” his speech was slightly slurred but the intent was still there. he used his fabric comment as an excuse to run his eyes along the gymnast’s body once more. “it most certainly does” he bit down on his lip as he took another gulp from his drink. at this point he needed all the liquid courage he could get. mitchell’s eyes widened when he heard the word dance. honestly as a frat boy he knew two moves: dorky dad dancing and grinding. there truly was no in between when it came to his dance repertoire. mitchell grabbed the other male’s hand and smirked, “i think danny zuko might just be up for it” he teased before he followed the other to the dance floor section of the bar. his arms wrapped around the other male as he stood behind him and maneuvered into a safe yet familiar move of grinding against the other male, “not many guys can pull off a cape like you can” mitchell teased the other.

the first thing he feels after hours of unconsciousness is the splitting headache. it takes a second before he manages to open his eyes, and once he gets there, he’s greeted with the realization that, oh shit, not everything is the way he had expected. ha! for starters, this is not even his room! how did this happen? oh, he hasn’t got a clue, love. tired eyes scan the surroundings, expression confused, and it keeps going downhill from there. soon, elias realizes that he’s, in fact, butt-naked under this singular blanket. on top of that, his hair feels… sticky in some places and his back actually… kinda hurts? he winces, lets out a heavy sigh, rubs his eyes. a groan. he looks around, take two; this time more properly. then, a gasp. eyes widen slightly at the unexpected sight of a person. “oh! uhm, hey?” a small laugh escapes, gaze now resting on the other. he’s expecting an answer of some sort, before realizing he hasn’t even asked the question. stupid. “soo.. what’s.. going on?” @yalestarters​

the unexpected noises caused teddy to stir from the uncomfortable position he was sleeping in, his body instinctively whining as he became aware of the pressure in his head. his eyes barely peeked open & took in the sight of the stranger in the bed before immediately closing & causing the gymnast to roll over away from him.. even more jarring in that moment was the blinding onslaught of light from the window that hit his pupils like a sledgehammer. “why the fuck are you screaming?!” teddy whined, his hands coming up to grasp his head as he tried to settle back into his previously peaceful slumber. he laid still for a moment, his mind trying to process a lot at one time. he could feel the starchy blanket & cotton sheets brushing against his bare ass but didn’t think anything of it, as he usually slept naked. It wasn’t until he finally processed that his 1500 thread count sheets felt like clouds compared to these that the wrong pieces of the picture started to click together. he was naked. he was naked with a stranger. he was naked with a stranger in someone elses bed. almost as quickly as he’d rolled over, teddy sitting straight up, clutching the sheets between his legs and looking around through guarded eyes with a horrified confusion. “What the fuck?” he breathed, finally looking at the person in bed with him who was clearly just as naked. “Is this your room?”

“ i can definitely cheers to that, too. ” ty added before downing that second shot, also setting the shot glasses down on the bar only to reach for the old fashioned he’d ordered. he managed to down that too quickly, thankfully because without warning he was being pulled towards the dance floor. “ being drunk, six foot four and dancing isn’t a great combo, but let me tell you, that sure as shit doesn’t stop me. ” he joked although he was known for tripping over his own damn feet from time to time, being wasted never helped. he was still drunkenly laughing when the pair made it to the dance floor, his body already reacting to the music, moving along to the beat of the heavy bass of the familiar post malone song. immediately, he was pressed up behind the other, the sudden move maybe a little too risque for having just met him. not to say he wouldn’t have made the move sober, but the alcohol in his system made it difficult to comprehend what might’ve been acceptable or what lines might’ve been drawn. even taking that opportunity for his hands to finally meet the warm skin of the others bare hips, “ how ‘bout you, batman? can you dance? ” he inquired, leaning in some so the words were breathed against the others ear as he moved along to the music well enough for someone that was well on his way to being wasted.

teddy didn’t find anything much more attractive than confidence, even if it was alcohol induced or not, tyler’s eagerness to immediately start grinding on him only further cemented his attraction. the olympian’s hips moved in a rugged unison with ty’s, his hips swaying to each beat & pressing back against ty’s crotch at just the right moments. teddy scoffed playfully, playing off the other’s remark as if the breath on his ear didn’t make the smallest hairs on his body rise in anticipation. “what kind of question is that?” teddy pressed playfully, his fingers lacing over tyler’s as moved his hands down to his thighs. as the dj shifted gears again, it gave teddy an excuse to move against ty with more enthusiasm. leaning slightly away from ty, teddy adjusted to a wider stance for a moment before throwing his ass back against the pi tau brother, switching between the classic twerk & gyrating his hips in a determined circle for an extended moment like a dancer with rent due before snapping back up against Ty & turning around to face him without breaking the other’s hands from his hips. “Good enough?” Teddy asked, peering at the taller through his mask with a smirk on his lips.
