After the first minute Alan got the feeling he wasn’t being taken seriously. He left to start determining exactly how much hot water the Brownstone had.

Todd meanwhile had nearly collapsed laughing. Only upright by virtue of clinging onto Al.

“Oh god!”

Al wrapped an arm around Todd’s shoulders. “You going to be okay, Buddy?”

“Yeah. Yeah. But did you see his face? I mean- I wouldn’t be happy about fighting a weird skunk monster either. But- oh my god!” Todd buried his face into Al’s neck as a new wave of laughter hit him.

Trying to be reasonable, Al made a halfhearted attempt to calm Todd down. “The smell is probably going to last for awhile.”

It didn’t help. Todd laughed even harder. Finally he collapsed until he was draped over Al’s lap, his arms still around Al’s neck and his head buried into Al’s shoulder.

“I don’t think he knows that just soap and water won’t get rid of the smell.” Todd took a couple of deep breaths. A few giggles slipped out. Al adjusted his hold on him so he wouldn’t slip off.

“I think he is going to try though.” Al considered if it might be a good idea to mix up something to help with the smell. It was funny now, but everyone would have to deal with the smell. Al’s mom had explained once to Al how to get the smell out. It might be a good idea to ask her again.

“He wrote the book on willpower!” Todd’s laughter returned.

Al could try and help Alan later. Whenever he got out of the shower. Or maybe whenever Todd stopped finding this so funny.

Al had to grin. It was nice seeing Todd laugh so much. He leaned down so he could kiss the top of Todd’s head. He could feel Todd grinning against him. More laughter from him escaping every few seconds.

Yeah. It could definitely wait.

ship meme: al/todd or hank/bones??

Sorry but I don't have many thoughts on Hank/Bones but I surprised myself on how much I had to say on Al/Todd.

AlTodd

General:

Rate the Ship -  Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - hmmmm, I don’t see them being endgame but I think they could have a meaningful little relationship around the end of their JL tenure before things went to shit for Todd. Both of them exploring their sexuality together in a healthy and supportive environment. But then Todd pulled away and we all know what happened next.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Okay so for both it started as friendship, but Todd started falling for Al post-infinity inc after they started spending more time together one on one now that the team dispersed. Al was completely oblivious to his feelings until Todd told him about his feelings and then that made him self reflect. Hard to say when it happened exactly though.

How was their first kiss? - tentative and awkward but also very sweet. Lots of asking if it’s okay beforehand.

Wedding:

I don’t see them getting married but I’ll still fill this part out because why not lol.

Who proposed? - Both, they both got rings, but I guess technically Al probably worked up the nerve first.

Who is the bridesmaid(s)/groomsmen? - Everyone from Infinity Inc still around, they do a non traditional thing where everyone is together rather than picking a side. 

Who did the most planning? - I honestly don’t know but we’ve got a devout Jewish boy and a devout Catholic so there was definitely a lot of planning involved to navigate the blending of traditions.

Who stressed the most? - Todd

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Again, faith is very important to both of them so I imagine they’d have to get creative with the ceremony so I have no idea how “fancy” this would end up being. 

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - honestly no idea.

Sex:

Who is on top? - usually Al

Who is the one to instigate things? - it varies 

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Al definitely does. 

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

Again don’t see them at this level but will still answer.

How many children will they have naturally? - mainly see them adopting

How many children will they adopt? - 2-3

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Al

Who is the stricter parent? - Todd

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Todd

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Al

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? Al

Who cried the most at graduation? - Todd

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Al

Cooking: 

Who does the most cooking? - Todd

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Todd but not by much

Who does the grocery shopping? - Todd

How often do they bake desserts? - Idk maybe once a month

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Al is definitely a meat and potatoes boy

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Al

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Al

Chores: 

sorry don’t have many thoughts about this for them.

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Al

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Both

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Again both value faith highly so they’d have to celebrate both Catholic and Jewish holidays in their house, so if any call for decor, they will decorate accordingly.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Todd is nocturnal 

Who plays the most pranks? - I guess Al, but neither really
