xxxSo the little human decided not be a puddle, smart choice. Teddy could tell his advances were having an effect on the boy. Watching a bit of pink come to Matthew's cheeks brought a impish grin to Teddy's face. The human was clearly flustered by Teddy's forward nature at first. Matthew didn't seem like an inexperienced type, unless he's playing with him. A pity if someone who looked like him didn't have any offers. Oh well, Teddy could teach him everything. "I'd be happy to show you, not here though. Voyeurism isn't a kink of mine." Although talking about his conquests brought some joy, the idea of someone watching is very off putting. "Not that I have performance issues."
xxxTeddy gave Matt a playful wink before sitting on the jacket Jasper offered. "I'm not paying for any cleaning if you find stains." Not like it's worth cleaning. Teddy sent a smug smile Jasper's way, before turning his attention back to the his friend.
xxx"So I was thinking..." Teddy's words trailed off once his hand gripped Matthew's knee. What was suppose to be a flirty, without being labeled as bad, touch turned out to have a much larger effect. Teddy felt like electricity (how ironic this would seem later) was rushing up his arm as Teddy stared into Matthew's eyes. A movie began to play in his head. Teddy kept seeing flashes of a little boy with golden-brown hair and big blue eyes running around through a backyard with a basset hound chasing at his feet. The boy kept calling out, "Charlie." The dog's name Teddy assumed. Suddenly, two adults appeared hugging the little boy, saying I love you's. The little boy was so happy, obvious by the gigantic grin on his face. The memory was so happy, but it only made Teddy sad. The little boy was so lucky. He'd give anything for one moment like that when he was little. The movie kept playing, showing more happy moments with the same boy with brown hair and blue eyes. A new memory appeared with what looked to be the same boy, but older. This memory felt sadder, more depressing. He was staring at a piece of paper with large print that said 'CONSENT TO ADOPT.' As soon as it appeared, the memory disappeared.
xxxIt couldn't have been more than a few minutes when Teddy came back to reality. His hand was no longer on Matthew's knee, but Teddy was still staring into his eyes. Teddy quickly changed his look of wonder into his typical half-smile. He prayed Matthew didn't realize what happened. Teddy didn't know himself! "Were you saying something? Sorry, you're pretty distracting, you know." A THUMP! sound caused Teddy to stand up quickly, wanting to move away from Matthew, but stay near him at the same time. A sudden protectiveness came over him. He just met the kid. Why does he care so much already?
xxxTurning towards the sound of the noise, he saw Alice laying on the ground. Jasper was at her side, helping her up. Teddy looked to Mel or Eloise to get some sort of explanation. He was distracted with Matthew and whatever that vision he saw was. He was so lost, almost as lost as Jasper. Moving to Lolly, he whispered, "What the hell just happened?"
