And when I asked you how you’d been, I meant I missed you more than I’ve ever missed anything before.

@mutantevingador​ // starter call—!

      “Jeezles beezles, look at you! You’re so small, you’re like a .  .  . like a baby.”

Jeezles Beezles, huh. This was going to be a fun one.

“Do we know each other?” Roberto perked a brow, not taking the ‘baby’ comment too well. The last person who called him that was Kitty Pryde and she was still paying for that. 

[greelin]

was going to say “at least i’m a better person than my father” but that’s? such a low bar, really? but it’s also not a lie, technically, so. better person than my father! at least. just casually stepping over that nearly-on-the-floor bar

↬   RED  (TAYLOR’S VERSION)  ( 2021 )  by  taylor  swift. @mutantevingador​ sent sam guthrie: “i’ve been loving you for quite some time”

SOMETIMES HE FEELS STUPID for not seeing what was right in front of him all along –or maybe for denying what was so obvious to everyone else because of his own insecurities. he’s always been shocked someone like roberto wanted to hang around him, but the idea that he could actually want him always felt out of the question. roberto was gorgeous, powerful, and had a personality that drew people in and left them wanting to know more. he could have anyone he wanted to, why would he pick sam?

if the past few months have proved anything to him, it’s that roberto’s felt that same spark sam’s been feeling all those months. and he’s not hiding it or denying it anymore.

❛ it’s still kinda hard to believe...you goin’ for a kentucky farmboy like me when you’re so larger than life. but ah think ah’ve been feeling something for quite some time too. ❜

Lips purse softly. Champagne sounds good. He bet they had the nice stuff here too, Vuve Clicquot or Dom Pérignon. It was tempting, but Johnny been trying hard to avoid drinking. It was something he’d been turning to way too often as a coping mechanism in the last few years and he’d rather avoid the negative press. Not to mention no matter how crappy he felt about himself the next day, he’d do it again. He didn’t need the taste on his tongue.  

     “ Uh, no thanks. That is really cool, though. Do you have a robot that dispenses lemonade? ” 

“Mister Storm, this is Krakoa, and I’m the head of AIM. I have everything.”

With the clap of his hands a small robot, sort of like a UFO with arms, hovered towards them. “Champagne bot, one champagne and one lemonade, please.” Roberto said, winking at Johnny. With a robotic chirp, as if saying ‘yes,’ it flew off, returning with a champagne flute and a glass of lemonade. 

“And here you go, good sir.” He said, presenting the Fantastic One Fourth his lemonade. 

[mutantevingador]

anyway. like for a starter.

Johnny couldn’t stop looking around, it was beautiful here. They had really done a nice job with the place. He found himself distracted by the large plants hanging plants, wondering why their new place on Yancy Street hadn’t embraced the greenery yet when Roberto greeted him and snapped him out of trivial throughts.

“Oh! Yeah! Hi! Uh, Reed wanted me to grab a thingie from Madrox? Says it’s real important? Don’t know what it is, but Reed says he’ll know.” 

Was the great Johnny Storm impressed with their little paradise? Good, he should be. It used to be a mutant eating island. Now, he makes toast while one of his best friends talks to a tree that tells people what the island wants. 

    Or something. He didn’t really understand it all, but hey. Toast. 

“Oh, Madrox, huh?” Roberto scoffed. “Important and Madrox go hand in hand, the man is always doing something. I’ll ask him, but do you want a drink? I do have a robot that dispenses champagne.”

     ❛ ooooh. i’ve been to many places, but never kentucky. where is it? ❜

she wasn’t exactly good with geography, if she was honest. she knew where most major world cities were but beyond that she was clueless.

     ❛ I’ve never been to brazil either, but beatriz wants me to visit          with her. it seems like it’d be hot though, and too much heat          makes me sick… ❜

tora was rambling, but she didn’t really notice.

     ❛ i went to baltimore once with my fiancé. that’s his home town. ❜

“Kentucky? It’s in the United States. Like... it’s in the ‘south’ but there are still places that are south of it. Kind of looks like a chicken leg. Which is funny, ‘cause, you know. Kentucky Fried Chicken.” He offered patented Roberto da Costa smile at that one. 

    But she kind of kept talking. 

“You should definitely go to Brazil! I always go back when I get the chance.” Granted he runs a company down there, but, still. He’d go back regardless. 

Okay, she’s back in the United States. Baltimore? He’s probably been there. He’s been all over, hasn’t he? 

“Well, congrats on the engagement.” 

[randomlyrj]

Wow, they really did that.

[mutantevingador]

@revenantinflames

Whoa, that’s Johnny Storm. Like from the first family of superheroes. That’s kind of a big deal. Not that Roberto wasn’t a big deal, but regrettably, Johnny was a bigger deal. 

But still, a Fantastic Four member, talking to a New Mutant? Not bad. 

“Welcome to X-Corp, Torch. Can I help you with anything?”

[mutantevingador]

olafsdottir​: 

tora smiled and shook his hand. 

she hoped her touch wasn’t TOO cold.

    ❛ i am tora. my best friend is from brazil! ❜

    ❛ i am from norway though. it is very nice to meet you. ❜

Cold hands. He made a mental note of that, but would probably later forget about it. He was a busy man after all. Plus with all of the mutants he’d met... lots of cold hands. 

He put his hands back into his pockets, straightening up a bit. 

“You have good taste, then.” He said with a slight chuckle. “My best friend is from Kentucky, so... says a lot about my taste.” 

[mutantevingador]

olafsdottir​:

    ❛ oh, thank you! it is not dyed though. white is my natural color. ❜

she was unbothered by the assumption. since leaving her home, such questions were common.

tora tilted her head, eyeing the man curiously.

    ❛ um. i hope this is not rude, but your accent… you are brazilian? ❜

Berto ran his hand through his hair, remembering when he had a natural white streak. But, hey, hair dye can cover anything. 

He nodded and gave a small thumbs up. 

“Isso. Yep. Just call me the boy from Ipanema.” He said with a wink. “Or don’t. Call me Roberto.” He said, extending a hand. “What can I call you?” 

[mutantevingador]

@heroicheart​

“So...”

So much had happened since they last talked. Like... so much. He was in charge of a US Government Program of Avengers. She was a Death Goddess. So, he’ll call it even. But what do they talk about? Remember the good old days...? 

    No, the good old days, as he was realizing, kind of sucked. 

“I ran into your dad recently.” 

    Smooth, Berto. 

[mutantevingador]

@olafsdottir​

“Nice hair,” Roberto commented, as if that was a high form of praise. Then again, a compliment from an annoying rich kid in any capacity was high praise, wasn’t it? “I always wanted to dye my hair a cool color, but I always had something else going on.” 

    That ‘something else’ was teenage superhero-ing and running a business. You know. Relatable things. 

[mutantevingador]

❛  and just where do ye put all this ego, bobby? it’s suffocating me. ❜

“Where do I put it? Close to my heart, and also in my butt cheeks, which is why they look so good.”
