fic: Flashlight Battery
“Ohh god, Nikola…”
“Yes, Henry?”
“Your finger…it’s like licking a flashlight battery…”
Tesla abruptly stopped moving, and stared at his partner. Henry wriggled in bed and made a whining noise. “Why’d you stop?”
“What did you say?”
“Um. Your finger is like licking a flashlight battery?”
Tesla glared. “You’re quoting your stupid little comic book while we’re in bed?”
“It is not stupid, and- …how did you know I was quoting it?”
“Excuse me?”
Henry propped himself up on one arm. “Oh my god, you read it! After all the bitching and moaning you did about how it’s such a kid thing!”
“I just wanted to see what you were going on about.”
“You liked it.”
“I did not.”
“Liar.”
Tesla’s eyes darkened, and he let out a low growl. “Do you really want to provoke me, Henry?”
Henry flashed a wicked smile. “Yes, I do.” And then he pounced.
