Why this must be read:

A short, sweet, and fantastically characterized get together story set pre-series. Billy's adorable in his spazziness, teenage lust, and utter, utter cluelessness; Teddy's obviously smitten and trying so damn hard. Also, and I realize these things are objective, but end's pretty hot.

The thing was, he really needed to not zap people with his magic lightning, because he was not going to be much of a superhero if he blew his secret identity the first time someone shoved him in the lunch line. Maybe even that was thinking ahead too much-- he didn't have a real costume yet, he didn't even have a *code name*, and being a superhero thus far had mostly consisted of listening to Iron Lad fret about the impending arrival of Kang the Conqueror, watching Eli scowl and demand to know when they were going to actually fight some actual crime, and trying desperately not to look at Teddy's ass. This last was not going well, because Teddy kept coming over with new versions of his costume and *modeling them.* Billy was pretty sure he'd be lucky to get out of today's meditation session with only the light bulbs in his room exploded.

I haven't gone to read this yet, but I'm excited just to see a rec for this pairing. I've looked for fic for them before and gotten burned by some extremely bad fic. Yay for recs!

*goes to read*

I've added a young avengers tag if you would like to use that as well on future recs. THanks!

I added it to the overview since I wasn't sure if it belonged on this one or not. Thanks!
