Boys Just Wanna Have Fun

[otakon_geek]

[Otacon was looking forward to having Raiden over for a pizza and turtle watching evening. He had asked the young soldier a few days before about coming over to the Nomad, just to chill out. That's what Raiden needed more than anything. Just time to chill with his friends and why the hell not?

Otacon laid out the TMNT videos on the sofa and pulled out the pizza ordering leaflet. He was going to wait until Raiden arrived first, so that he could choose the pizza he wanted. Otacon hoped that either Sunny or Snake would turn up to enjoy the movies and pizza too. The more the merrier.]

I hope Pepsi is ok for you, Raiden...[Otacon muttered to himself, as he pulled out some cans of soda from the fridge. He knew Raiden didn't drink alcohol much now, which was fine, as neither did Otacon much. He preferred a green tea or something near healthy. He placed the cans of drink near the sofa and sat down. Now, all he had to do was wait.]

Whip us into shape? [Otacon nodded and tried not to let his mind wander elsewhere.]

[hatedbyfanboys]

Yeah. Someone to teach you and Snake some discipline around this place. Sunny needs more structure in her life.

[otakon_geek]

Yeah, I guess. [He rubbed the back of his head then took a deep draught of soda.] I want Sunny to have the right upbringing an' all.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Understandable. Most parents want that for their children...

[He took another bite of his pizza]

[otakon_geek]

Yeah. We all want what's best for our kids and out family. [Hal's experience with family have been less than great. The Nomad was his family now.]

I think you'd make a great father, Raiden.

[hatedbyfanboys]

[Raiden rubbed the back of his neck and smiled nervously]

I hope I do...

[otakon_geek]

Hey, I'm sure you will. [Otacon placed a hand on Raiden's shoulder and smiled. He drank some more soda then belched. Again.] Uh...sorry.

[hatedbyfanboys]

[The blonde laughed]

It's cool. And thanks for the compliment.

[He finished his slice of pizza and averted his attention to the TV. He'd completely forgotten about the movie playing]

[otakon_geek]

It's no problem. [Otacon took another bite of pizza and looked back at the TV. He laughed when he saw Michelangelo throw a pizza in the air as a Frisbee.]

I love Michelangelo, he's so awesome.

[hatedbyfanboys]

[Raiden wrinkled his nose and snickered]

Their pizza combinations horrify me...

[otakon_geek]

Well, yeah they are but I still love them. [Because he's a geek.] I used to have a Turtles t-shirt when I was a kid.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Heh, really? I wish I could've enjoyed them when I was a kid...

[otakon_geek]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up past history or childhood for you, as I know it must have been awful. [Otacon gave Raiden a comforting smile and patted his back. It was a bit more manly than a hug.]

[hatedbyfanboys]

[Raiden shook his head]

No need to apologize. Things happened the way they did, right? I'm glad I've gotten to at least enjoy them period.

[otakon_geek]

Yeah, you're right. [Otacon nodded and turned his attention back at the screen.]

Do you like superheroes, Raiden? Like Marvel or DC?

[hatedbyfanboys]

Never really read up on many comics.

[otakon_geek]

That's a shame, as I have loads around here somewhere. You can take a look if you're interested.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Sure, I guess I could. I could use some more hobbies.

[otakon_geek]

It never hurts to have some variety in your life, that much I know.

[hatedbyfanboys]

Yeah, that's true..

[He grabbed another piece of pizza]

[otakon_geek]

Feel free to take any of my comics if you want to read them in your spare time. [Whenever that might be.]

[hatedbyfanboys]

Alright. Thanks. I'll let you know which ones I take.

[otakon_geek]

I've got a big pile, so feel free to take what you want. [Otacon ate a slice of pizza and laughed, as he saw Donatello try to create a pizza-making machine, which blew up on him.]

That guy isn't as good as machines as he thinks.

[hatedbyfanboys]

[Raiden couldn't help but laugh - both at what was happening in the show and Otacon's remark]

Hahah, yeah. It is the 80s though.

[otakon_geek]

Yeah, that's true. I just love the old retro value these cartoons have. [He drank some soda and smirked at Raiden.]
