aunt_zeldaTitle: First Impressions
Author: me, aunt_zelda
Pairings: Theta/Koschei (sorta) for now … but with Ushas in the mix, anything’s possible!
Rating: PG … wait, there’s mentions of stuff … errrrrm … PG-13? I dunno, really, it’s incredibly chaste for me.
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, Theta Sigma, Koschei, or Ushas. If I did, the world of Who would be very different indeed ...
Spoilers: None, really. Unless you didn’t know about the whole Theta/Koschei business.
Summary: Two boys make first-contact, in a roundabout kind of way.
A/N: Ok, so, this is my attempt at Academy!Fic. I edited it as best I could. aimisan read it and loved it, so I hope you guys love it too. There’s a lot more on the way, but this seemed like a good place to start. The first meeting of Theta and Koschei will be posted all in good time, I assure you! (I dunno how old the gang is in this fic … twelve, maybe thirteen?)
I know a ‘whirligig’ is like a pinwheel, or a Medieval torture device, but in this it’s some kind of … insect I think. I plan on throwing out an art challenge later on …
First Impressions
Theta laughed and gave Koschei an affectionate shove. Koschei retaliated, and soon they were rolling around on the grass, trying desperately to muffle their laughter. Just when Koschei though he had Theta beat, Theta twisted himself and suddenly he was lying on top of Koschei.
A sudden, steady rustling noise made the two boys freeze guiltily. They’d flattened much of the grass around them, so it was easy to pinpoint where the noise was coming from
Across the tiny clearing, the grass parted like a curtain …
… a girl, the same age as Theta and Koschei, peered through.
Theta went as red as his school sweater and scrambled off of Koschei. Koschei slid his arm protectively around Theta’s waist. The girl’s eyes followed their movements, her face betraying no emotion.
Girls were something strange to Theta and Koschei. It was only recently that the classes became coed, for the past several years they’d only caught glimpses of females (besides their teachers, whom they viewed as so radically different from girls-their-age that Theta suspected teachers were another species) from afar. Girls were weird. They had two bumps on their chests that grew in size as they aged, and they didn’t have parts under their skirts. Theta and Koschei knew this, not from their parents (whom they hadn’t seen since they were eight and seldom thought of) or in the classroom, but from contraband magazines and old texts with very interesting pictures.
Theta and Koschei (as well as the other boys) were curious about the girls, and they were certain the girls were curious about them too. The girls stared, as this girl was doing right now, quite a lot at the boys, whispering to each other and pointing.
For some reason they didn’t laugh, they giggled: high-pitched, ridiculous sounds, even when the boys hadn’t done anything funny.
Apparently some of the girls had no interest in boys whatsoever and preferred the company of each other. Some had been seen kissing, which Theta didn’t understand because anything beyond kissing wouldn’t ‘work’ because, logically, girls’ parts wouldn’t fit. He was too embarrassed to ask Koschei about it, though, he felt awkward enough trying to imagine two girls doing … well, whatever they could do. Theta supposed if he ever got married someday (ew) he could ask his wife about it.
“Go away.”
Koschei had directed this at the girl in the grass, whom he was staring at. Theta felt the other boy’s grip around his waist tighten. A jolt of horror went through Theta’s body: Koschei thought this girl wanted to take Theta away for herself and do the things depicted in the old books! Indeed, the girl had been staring at him in a way Theta could only describe as ‘hungry.’
The girl tilted her head: some of her light-brown hair fell to the side in a captivating manner. “You’re Koschei and Theta, right?” she asked in a voice that did not match the look in her sharp, calculating, green eyes.
Koschei glared. “Go away.”
“What’s the matter, Koschei?” Theta asked, feigning innocence, as he was wont to do when he wanted to gauge someone’s (Koschei’s) feelings.
The girl grinned. “Yeah, Koschei, what’s the matter? Do I scare you?” she inched forward on her hands and knees, leering at Koschei instead.
Koschei didn’t back up, but Theta did. He didn’t like this girl’s eyes. The rest of her was ok, but her eyes made him very nervous indeed.
The girl sighed and stopped, pouting. She sat up, arching her back like a cat, eyes still fixed on Koschei. “If you want me to go, I’ll go, but I thought you might be interested in these …” she held up two pieces of art-paper.
“What are those?” Koschei asked suspiciously.
The girl grinned again. The sun glinted off her very shiny teeth, making Theta blink. “Two sketches of whirligigs. One signed ‘Koschei’ the other marked with that scribble that you,” she turned her green gaze on Theta for a split second, “sign as your name when you’re distracted, which is often.”
Theta guiltily looked down in the grass at the two crumpled pieces of art-paper. Even before he and Koschei had rolled over them, the sketches had barely begun to take shape. Professor Amaryllis would rip their hearts out and eat them for breakfast if they turned those in.
Koschei raised an eyebrow. “What’s the catch?”
The girl smiled slowly. “Let me hang out with you for a week.”
“A week?” Koschei exclaimed.
Theta’s eyes widened: a week in the company of a girl!
In the distance the voice of Professor Amaryllis – a bad-tempered woman with a perpetual scowl – bellowed across the previously serene meadow. “Class! Hand in your sketches and head back to school!”
Theta went white. Oh no … Koschei was too proud to accept the help of a girl and hang out with her for a week … he, Theta Sigma, would have to intercede.
“Koschei, Professor A is going to kill us! I don’t mind spending some time with …” he realized he didn’t know the girl’s name.
“Ushas.” she smiled a purely sweet smile at Theta, who felt his cheeks redden.
“Theta Sigma?! Koschei?! Ushas?!” Professor Amaryllis roared.
“Koschei!” Theta squeaked in terror.
Koschei sighed. “Fine. You can hang out with us … for a week.”
Ushas handed over the papers and beamed. “Fantastic.”
The End

Date: 2008-05-26 01:11 pm (UTC)I'll take that as a good sign!
I only wish there was more from the Master's POV.
Working on him ... I write the Master easily, but with Koschei ... I dunno, he's proving difficult ... (I am the author, and you will obey me!)
But I love protective Master. So yay, for that.
Hee hee, and he's not even the Master yet! He's just scared that a GIRL will take his Theta Sigma away!

Date: 2008-05-26 02:00 pm (UTC)It might be because wee!Master isn't, you know, psycho. Just maybe though.
If she does that I have no doubt that he'll punch her in the throat, vicious little beast. Gotta love that she manipulated them into letting her hang out with them though.

Well yes, but he's still really REALLY cute ... and keeps getting jumped by Ushas ... tee hee ... *giggles at upcoming chapters*

Well, she kinda succeeded in stealing them BOTH, if ya think about it ... (ha ha ha! Mine is an evil laugh!) At first she might have just wanted Theta to snuggle (don't we all?) but then she saw Koschei and was like 'Oh, I can DEFINITELY work with this ...' and ... yeah, mayhaps I should post that bit with all the snogging today ...

Date: 2008-06-03 08:44 pm (UTC)Ushas is my favorite. (Shhh! Don't tell Theta! He'll cry, and then Koschei will beat me up!)
Ushas is so badass and manipulative and LUCKY! She gets to ... wait, do you want spoilers for upcoming chapters? Keep in mind it'll be a while before I can churn out another ...
A whole week! The world will end!
Bahahhahaha! I totally have to write about that week, don't I?

Date: 2008-06-03 08:59 pm (UTC)And I'm down with spoilers. Lay 'em on me! :D
no subject
Date: 2008-06-03 09:14 pm (UTC)Ok, spoilers: at some point in upcoming chapters Ushas will sleep with Koschei, Theta, and later, I'm afraid, Theta AND Koschei. *turns red* I've only written ONE OT3 fic, and that was vague and with three MEN ... adding a female is risky on my part ... *nervous*

You don't need to be nervous; you're a great writer!
*blushes* Thank you ...
And besides, there's only so much you can mess up a sex scene involving the Doctor and the Master. ;)
True ... it's going to be incredibly awkward, though, because it'll probably be right after they've all taken off from Gallifrey. The Doctor went first, however, and the Master and the Rani only managed to steal ONE TARDIS, so they tracked down the Doctor and mated their TARDISes ... and probably drugged/knocked out/something the Doctor, so while the gang is doing ... you know ... two TARDISes are having this really amazingly rare connection ...
Back at the Academy, before any of this, Koschei looses his virginity to Ushas, then Theta looses HIS to her because he's confuzzled and annoyed and Ushas thinks he's cute, then Koschei and Theta angst at each other and end up together ... possibly being watched by Ushas ...
