Boston is sick and that’s horrible and she should come here to Australia so I’ll stop getting messages about her being sick which is very sad. Also she could be the money earner and I’ll be the lazy house husband...but Boston rejected me which is very upsetting, she seems to think that if we were married I’d actually have to, you know, do something, like get a job and stuff and like that’s too much effort for me so she’s getting this fic instead I guess. Also she’s totally trying to get me to help her cheat on Pokemon Go cos she wants a Kangaskhan which I’ve got several times because you know I actually live in the place it spawns so idk like I only use it as motivation to help with y’know, getting out of the house, I’ve never even played or watched pokemon before I downloaded the game. Also cos I’m in Australia and the pattern of what pokemon is generated depends on the terrain and all so if I get something more Australia-ish...ughh idk. Peter sighed and cast a side-longed glance at his phone as it vibrated. Why were there only Rattatas around? Of course there was some black blob of shadow on his tracker, but Peter wasn’t one of those Pokemon hunters. He just liked playing to and from uni and work. “Watch out!” called a voice just before a figure streaked towards and crashed into him. Peter grunted as he hit the pavement. The thick man above him blinked down guiltily, apparently not at all unbalanced by plowing into Peter’s skinny frame. They stared at each other for a few seconds. “Ow,” Peter said pointedly. “I’msorry,” the man blurted out, holding up his phone. “There’s an Eevie near here and I’m so close to getting all the evolutions unlocked.” Peter raised an eyebrow and reached for his phone as he stood up. “There’s only a rattata near here.” The man shook his head. “It’s close, I’m telling you. I have a fifth sense for these things.” “Sixth sense,” Peter corrected as he wiped his hands on his jeans and checked for grazes. Nothing serious.“I see dead people,” the man quoted dutifully. Peter shot him a look. “That’s not wh-” He shook his head. “I have to go.” “But I don’t even know your name!” Peter blinked. “You just plowed in-“ The man let out a very childish giggle. “Not yet, but I’m free this Saturday.”Peter’s mouth snapped shut and he flushed at the implications. “I have to go.” “You didn’t tell me your name.” “Did I not?” Peter asked as he began to walk away. “Mine’s Wade,” the man said quickly as he followed him. He held out a hand, attached to a very thick, muscular bicep which totally wasn’t hot because Peter was a normal man who wasn’t going to perve on the guy who just tried to pick him up with a very lame punchline because Peter didn’t pay attention to his words. “Wade Wilson.” Peter eyed the hand cautiously. “Peter,” he settled on carefully as he took the hand. Wade shook it enthusiastically. “I know,” he told him. “We’re in the same media class.” Peter blinked twice at him. “What?” “Well, not the same media class. But we have the same lecture. You probably don’t notice me cos you’re always too busy with the hot red head and her blonde girlfriend trying to point out hot guys for you to date. I was the one they called ‘muscular like a viking god’ and you, without even looking at me, I might add, called ‘a brainless, steroid loving, cut out of a person more obsessed with my own reflection than with the real world.’“ Peter flushed. That did sound familiar. In fact, he’d been quite proud of that one. It had been a cold, calculated burn meant to stop them trying to set him up with every guy they saw. He was fine being the third wheel. People envied him for it, really, the only guy in a group of a very hot lesbian couple. “Oh.” He said. Then stopped. He ran a hand through his hair. “Sorry. They keep trying to, you know, set me up with people.” Wade shrugged. “I thought it was quite clever. Rude, hurtful, based on a stereotype that I don’t actually fit into, but clever.” Peter gave him a sheepish grin. “Sorry.” “It’s okay. I know how you can make it up to me.”“You do.” Peter repeated doubtfully. Wade waved his hands towards a cafe a few hundred meters ahead of them. “You can buy me coffee?” I actually love this idea and I’m a genius. Also screw your ‘college’ and ‘inches’ and ‘feet’, there’s only so much I can do on an Australian vocab.
