30 Day OTP Challenge-Day Nineteen

In Formal Wear

"Y'know, I think I finally figured out why the non-magical form of teleportation is a bad idea," Jack stated, fiddling with his cufflinks.

"Why? Did you hit a roadblock with the backfiring effects of human cloning?" Chase asked, brushing his hair to alleviate any tangles.

Jack paused for a minute before answering, "Put it on the back-burner." He moved across the room, trying to fix his tie. "No, y'see, assuming the device could be invented which would identify the quantum state of matter of an individual in one location, and transmit that pattern to a distant location for reassembly, you would not have actually transported the individual. You would have destroyed him in one location, and recreated him in another."

"Mmm, interesting," Chase commented.

"Isn't it?" Jack chirped up with a grin.

"No, I mean what you find enjoyable," Chase explained with a smirk, fixing his own tie now.

With a growl, Jack lightly smacked the elder man on the shoulder. "Jerk-off."

The dragonlord merely scoffed and began to tie his hair back before deciding to change the subject. "So, how long do you wish to stay at this awards ceremony?"

Jack groaned in disgust. "Not long, that's for sure. I hate having to go to this thing in the first place, so trust me; we will not be there for long."

"Refresh my memory. If you are so against going, then why are you?"

"Mom will kill me if I don't show," Jack answered, slicking his hair back with gel. "Apparently, Megan is graduating her high-school with, like, the highest honors or something and the school decided to have this whole separate party that shows how 'amazing' their top students are."

"By your tone of disgust, I can only assume that you don't agree with them?"

"It just pisses me off when they do stuff like this for no reason," Jack stressed, brushing off his black suit. "None of the students who were invited care, the students who weren't invited actually do because it makes them look stupid just because they're not at the same 'genius' level, and I just hate the whole idea."

He turned around to face his master and took a few moments to merely admire how elegant and sexy Chase looked in a suit. He didn't normally see the man dress so formally, but God, the man could pull off that look with the best of them!

The suit was a simple black color like Jack's own, but the dark green tie really brought out the green highlights in the man's hair which, in turn, brought out those gorgeous, smoldering eyes of his. As Jack eyes traveled down his lover's body, he saw how the man's shirt fit around him nice and snug; not too tight, but not hanging out so much that he would have to tuck it in. His black pants wrapped around his legs very nicely and the dress shoes shined so perfectly. It was like Jack was looking at a painting; surely this couldn't be an actual person standing right in front of him!

"Damn, babe, you look smoking," the evil genius said, his eyes still traveling up and down the man's form.

With a smug grin, Chase adjusted his tie and strode over to his mate. "You're too kind, beloved."

"Hey, I speak the truth when it comes to your good looks," Jack stated, holding his hands up in a harmless gesture.

"I just love the way you say, 'when it comes to your good looks'," the dragonlord commented.

"'Cause it implies that I lie about almost everything else?" Jack guessed.

Chase merely smirked and wrapped an arm around the evil genius' waist. Around them, their bedroom slowly shifted into the outside of the building that was holding the ceremony, many people already shuffling in.

Turning his head to his lover, Chase inquired, "Ready?"

"Oh, I suppose so," Jack said in a dramatic tone. Then, he supplemented, "But remember, we're not staying long. Besides, my old Science teacher is here."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Mmm, let's just say he and I didn't get along that well. What with me criticizing him on his teaching skills right in the middle of class and correcting answers and questions on his tests because he had no clue how to word things right…well, we just couldn't get along, I guess."

"It's no wonder you were so happy when you burned that Biology book the day after your graduation," Chase commented as they walked through the open doors.

With a pleased smile at the memory, Jack chuckled. "Yeah…" Then, he straightened up as he realized, "Oh, my God. I just realized that book still belongs to the school."

Exchanging a look with his master, Jack smiled and gave a tiny shrug. "Whoops."
