Never forget that time Teddy didn't want Billy to feel bad about working with Strikeforce without him, so he pretended he was hanging out with Spiderman by... shapeshifting Spidey's head and hand onto his body, OMG YOU WEIRDO

@merriemarvels sent: “ I disappoint my father as a hobby now. ” (for Teddy from Luna because there is NO reason they shouldn't have met by now lmao)

ㅤㅤㅤPerhaps Teddy shouldn't laugh at a statement like that, considering. But… well, he kind of can't help it. Luna's wit is razor sharp for her age, and the quip about Pietro is just a little too much like something Billy might say. Leaning back on his palms, the Kree-Hybrid grins at her and shakes his head.

ㅤㅤㅤ“…you'd fit right in with the Young Avengers, y'know?” He replies, expression softening as he thinks of his friends, of how they've cobbled together a family out of shared traumas and broken homes. Yeah, Teddy knows they'd like Luna.

ㅤㅤㅤ"-- and anyway, from what I've heard about it, seems like your dad is the one being disappointing.” Teddy also knows a little something about that.

for @warlockisaslur, continued from here

ㅤㅤㅤ"Maybe I am, but that doesn't make it less true." Teddy replies, his tone filled with the kind of a confidence only a teenaged boy can have.  He twitches at the prodding but makes sure not to move so much it might dislodge Billy from where he's burrowed against the larger boy's side. It still surprises Teddy sometimes, just how much Billy seems to like him, how easy their conversations flow even when they're talking about hard stuff… how Teddy doesn't feel like he has to be anyone other than himself with the younger teen.

ㅤㅤㅤFor someone capable of changing into anyone and anything, it's a… well, it's a rare quality in his friends, let alone a Boyfriend.

ㅤㅤㅤTeddy still can't help feeling a shivery little thrill when he thinks about that word in relation to Billy, but he's trying to be cool about it.

ㅤㅤㅤ"Look, I'm just sayin'…" He tugs at the blanket to ensure it hasn't fallen off Kaplan's shoulders, tangling their feet together just because he can, "there are a lot of people out there with powers of some kind, most of them have something like what I've got. But…"

ㅤㅤㅤTeddy hesitates, not because he doesn't believe what he's about to say, but because speaking it feels… vulnerable. Like maybe he'll be too much. A green flush tinges the teenagers skin, but he says it anyway--

ㅤㅤㅤ"Nobody is quite like you, Billy. Nobody even holds a candle."

@leschanceux sent: [ COLD ] — sender puts their cold fingers under receiver’s shirt ( billy & teddy! )

ㅤㅤㅤ"whu- Ahhh!" Teddy yelps, twisting like an eel as Billy's icicle fingers burrow under his sweater. The alien hisses, sucking in his stomach to dodge the assault on his warm skin. He grabs at his boyfriend's wrists to hold him at bay. "-- Hey now! Don't you have magic to keep you warm or something??"

ㅤㅤㅤHe has definitely seen Billy use magic for less vital reasons. Like Coffee.

@impercre liked for a starter from Teddy

ㅤㅤㅤAlthough he didn't know it for many years, Teddy Altman's birth was a product of prophecy. His very existence represented the catalyst of two worlds, forced to collide like the opposing sides of a magnet. He was conceived to be the Great Uniter, Child of the Impossible, the Hybrid King.

ㅤㅤㅤWhether by love or strategy, the union of Mar-vell and Princess Anelle birthed a new era for their people, the promise of a unified alliance between Kree and Skrull kind…

ㅤㅤㅤAnd not once had anyone ever asked Teddy if it was what he'd wanted.

ㅤㅤㅤSo. When he looks to Princess Irulan Corrino's obscured features and sees only a deceptive stillness, like waters lying placid over a darkened chasm, yawning with the expectation of being filled… Teddy recognizes something kindred in her. As well as Dangerous.

ㅤㅤㅤBut this is a day for Diplomacy. And more importantly, Manners. So the Hybrid King keeps his thoughts to himself and executes a careful bow, greeting Irulan, "Imperial Consort… It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
