estiroseA brief ficlet, set in the Building Family universe. tptigger asked for fic for her birthday, and while I don't quite have that together yet, I at least have this.
Cam quietly walked into the living room. The two inhabitants, the Bradley brothers, looked up briefly as if to note that he was there, and then continued on with their conversation.
"Except Sensei Revie," Blake was saying thoughtfully.
"Why? Oh, yeah." Hunter was sprawled in an armchair, in a way that Cam hadn't thought possible. "Can't have wheat."
"What are you talking about?" Cam asked.
"We've decided that we're going to introduce these Cuties to everybody at the Thunder Academy," Hunter answered, as if it was obvious to everybody in the room.
"Okay," Cam said, wondering how the whole thing had come up. "As for the wheat thing, you do realize Tofutti makes things other than Cuties, right?"
"Yeah, but not the mint chocolate chip," Blake said. "I did check, bro."
"How'd you get into these, anyway?" Hunter wanted to know. "I mean, you don't just walk into a supermarket and say 'hey, I think I want to try these soy ice cream bars!'".
"Actually, that's exactly how I found them," Cam said. He wasn't about to admit that he'd gotten the munchies in college and at that point, anything unusual had looked good.
"Anyway," Blake said, "Sometimes we just want to talk about what'll happen when... you know."
"Everything goes back to normal," Hunter finished. "'Sides, it's always a good thing to know what to bribe the Senseis with after spending the last year at the Wind Ninja Academy."
Cam took a deep breath. Of all the worries that the Bradley brothers had, that was the most persistent. They were afraid that being at the Wind Ninja Academy would make the people at the Thunder Ninja Academy not accept them.
He was willing to bet that when it came down to it, Sensei Omino would care more about the fact that they saved the world than where they were living at the time. Cam had never met the man, but he doubted that he would be anything other than proud of Blake and Hunter.
"It'll be all right," he said. They might not believe him, not at the moment, but he knew it would be.
