Dave "Obsidian" Blake's Apartment

Jean's eyes went wide when David told him so seriously that he'd have to cut his arm off for a costume. Did people really take it that seriously? He was starting to think maybe it wasn't such a fun idea after all, but then his boyfriend started busting out laughing and Jean quickly realized he was being fooled. Jean clicked his tongue and gave him a light punch in the arm.

"Hmm...I'm not really sure to tell you the truth. I don't know all that many superheroes. Who do you think I would look good as?"

"Hmmmmm" David looked hard at Jean, trying to think what he would be good in. A number of heroes ran through his mind, but he couldn't pin one down. That's when he snapped his fingers.

"How about Quicksilver?" he asked.

Option 1:

Option 2:

Jean thought for a moment about who Quicksilver was, running through the list of superheroes he was familiar with. Thor was the one with the huge arms and the hammer, Hulk was the giant green guy David named his finisher after, and Iron Man was the one David's ring shirt matched. He knew who Captain America and the Winter Soldier were from their movie, so who was he? Quicksilver...Quicksilver.....aha!

Jean snapped his fingers as he suddenly remembered. "Ah, the guy with the superspeed? He had a twin sister in the movie, right? That sounds cool! But doesn't he die in the end?"

Dave's face turned into a pout, "Hmph! Allegedly. There was no funeral so I refuse to believe it!!!!!!!" he exclaimed.

He had recently seen Age of Ultron before his debut match. Finding an english showing was hard enough, but man was it worth it!!!! The costumes were some of his favorite things about the film! Future cosplays were already being planned, but one step at a time.

Jean laughed at David's intense reaction, it looked like he was really attached to the character. Thinking back on the movie, Jean was kinda annoyed that they decided to kill him off too, he liked the sibling dynamic between him and his sister.

"Alright then, it's a plan! You can take me on our first date to buy materials for Quicksilver then"

Dave's face was tinged a bit red at the mention of a "date" with him and Jean. He was filled with both elation and nervousness at the prospect. Pulling up a picture (option 2) he showed it to Jean.

"How does this look to you?" he asked, "Or do you want to stick with the movie version?"

Jean looked at the picture David had pulled up, comparing it in his head to what he remembered about the movie costume. He had to admit though, the Quicksilver in the photo even kinda actually looked like him, so Jean felt partial to that one.

"I like it! Let's go with this one" Jean said, pointing at option 2 photo.

"Great!" Dave said in a happy tone, "Give me a few days to narrow down the stores where the materials might be and we should be set to go shopping together!"

He gave Jean a kiss and smiled warmly at him. Where were people like Jean all his life? People who could accept and love others for who they were. But then he realized there was only one Jean, and he was lucky to have such a kind guy as his boyfriend.

"Sounds great" Jean replied, glad to see that he had made David so happy. He was actually feeling a bit excited about it himself, and maybe even a bit nervous. He didn't want David to have to do all the work, but he was also worried that he might not be able to create something that looked as good as the one David had.

"Maybe when it's finished, we can test it out ourselves?"

Dave tilted his head, "Test it out? You mean like a match?"

He was glad to help Jean with the costume, but he was gonna make sure Jean put the work in for this costume as well. It was only fair. But by the time it was done, he would have a fantastic suit worthy of hollywood!
