Day Sixteen: Cackle

Peter was hanging out with Ruth and Richie at Richie’s after school.

Well, technically, they were supposed to be studying for the biology test at the end of the week, but it was only Monday, and none of them were that nervous about it.

And, the call of Super Smash Bros was just too strong to resist.

After winning his third game in a row, and subsequently performing his third victory dance, his friends started getting really competitive, which was a little terrifying considering the baseline level of Ruth’s competitiveness on any given day.

“Come on, Peter!” Ruth whined after a Smash Attack sent her flying off the platform, “When the hell did you get good at this? What happened to little Petey Pie who used to jump into the void all the time?”

Peter dodged an attack from Richie, floating up into the air just to slam back down, “He got sick of his friends kicking his ass all the time and decided to do some ass-kicking of his own. HA! Take that, fucker!”

The screen flashed as Ruth and Richie groaned, proclaiming Peter as the victor once more.

“You are not playing as your main next time! You can be, like, Doctor Mario or something.” Richie was already setting up the next game thanks to his eternal claim as player one.

I’m the best of you! And you’re the best of me! And together we are free—

“Hey Steph! What’s up?”

Peter ignored the way Richie gagged at the sound of his ringtone and how Ruth’s eyes lit up at Steph’s name, pressing his phone against his ear with his shoulder in order to select Steve from the collection of avatars before either of his friends could get to it.

“Oh, nothing much!” Steph’s voice came through a little tinny, and Peter wouldn’t be surprised if he was on speaker while she did some chores around the house.

“I was just wondering if you had anything planned tomorrow night.”

As Steph was talking, Ruth was doing her level best to crawl across Peter’s lap and put her ear up to his phone despite his attempts to elbow her away.

“Lemme hear!” Ruth hissed.

Peter just stuck his tongue out and redoubled his efforts.

“Uh, no, not really!” His phone jostled as Richie tried to wedge it out from under his ear and Peter had to snatch it back, “Why do you ask?”

“Are you doing alright over there, Pete?” Steph’s voice was tinged with amusement as though she could see the human pretzel that Ruth and Richie were dragging him into.

“Yeah! Everything’s fine!” Peter swatted Richie’s prying hands while attempting to use his feet to keep Ruth away, “What were you gonna ask?”

He could hear something rustle as Steph picked her phone up, turning it off of speaker mode and holding it up to her ear.

He could also hear the overlapping “Come onnnnnnn,” and “We just wanna say hi!” from his friends as Richie tried once again to worm his fingers around Peter’s phone.

“Ah!” And wriggling right against his neck.

Silence echoed as Ruth and Richie exchanged evil looks.

Aw fuck.

“—if you three would want to hang out at my place?” Peter had missed the first half of that sentence due to the now-sporadic squeezes at his knees and more purposeful scratching at his neck, but he was sure that he could make an educated guess.

“I, uh, I don’t know if they can mAKE ihit.”

He’d nearly gotten through the whole sentence without cracking, but then Ruth had started spidering her fingers in the soft spot behind his knees which she knew was unfair, and a small squeak had broken through.

Peter did his best to seal his lips shut as Steph said, “Aw, are you sure? My dad will be out and I can order all of us pizza.”

“Mhm!”

You see, Peter would feel bad about lying to Steph on a regular day. But, considering that his friends had decided to be conniving assholes today, he figured that she would forgive him just this once.

“Are you sure that you’re alright? You sound kinda…nervous.”

Steph sounded genuinely concerned, so Peter kicked Ruth back into the couch and threw an elbow into Richie’s gut so that he could scramble to his feet, trying to subtly catch his breath.

“Yeah, sorry!” They were both already up and after him, so Peter had to dodge grabbing hands as he said, “It’s just that I think Ruth and Richie are too busy being annoying little brats to hang out tomorrow night!”

Twin gasps echoed through the room as both Ruth and Richie’s jaws dropped in indignation.

“How dare you—”

“Spankoffski get your lying ass over here!”

Peter dove out of the way just in time to hear Steph’s “Ohhhhhhhh,” of realization before she broke out into laughter.

“You really had me worried for a second there, Pete!” Richie caught him around the waist and started the not-so-difficult process of wrestling him to the ground, “Maybe you can come over and they can join when they learn to behave!”

It seemed like Ruth heard that last part as she let out an affronted “HEY!”

“Yeah, I think that would be bEST—Wait! Richie nononono shihihihit!”

Ruth managed to pry his phone out of his hands as Richie went straight for the kill, drawing out frantic cackles with ruthless clawing at his ribs.

“Hey, Steph!” Ruth said cheerfully as a sudden jump to Peter’s upper ribs startled a shriek out of him before falling back into hysterics.

“This is for playing the same overpowered character in Smash Bros! SMASH ATTACK!” Richie cried as he vibrated a hand into his victim’s stomach, prompting him to curl up in hopeless defense.

Meanwhile, Ruth was still talking to Steph, “Oh, we would love to come over to hang out! But,” she added, cutting Peter a sly glance, “we don’t want to intrude if Peter doesn’t want us there!”

She stood there for a moment, nodding to whatever Steph was saying, “Of course! Here, you can ask him yourself!”

And then she hit a button on his phone and Steph’s voice rang out, “Hey Pete! So, I was just talking to Ruth and I wanted to double-check if you were totally sure about them not being able to make it tomorrow night.”

“Steheheheph! Hehehehelp!” Was all he could get out in between fits of laughter.

His friends broke out into giggles as Steph said, “I can’t do much for you right now, but if you bring Ruth and Richie over I could help you out with some well-earned revenge! How does that sound?”

Peter could feel Richie’s fingers falter at the threat and see the faint blush rising on Ruth’s face through the tears that had begun to form in his eyes.

“Okay! Deal! They can come!” He took advantage of Richie’s moment of hesitation to get out his response and quickly rolled away, popping up to snatch his phone back out of Ruth’s hands.

“See you tomorrow! Love you! Bye!” And he hung up the phone to the sound of Steph’s laughter before whirling around to his so-called friends.

Peter flung one choice finger out at Ruth, “Fuck you!”

And then the other at Richie, “Fuck you more!”

They just grinned at him as he slumped back down on the couch and reached for his controller, “I think I deserve to kick your asses for a bit now.”

The groans that they let out were undermined by the way they both picked up their own remotes before sitting on either side of him. Richie leaned against Peter while Ruth dropped her head on his shoulder, and the warmth seeped through to his very core.

Well, Peter thought as Richie hit play, there are definitely worse ways to spend an evening than with my two best friends.

Now to kick. Their. Asses.

I think I should post my height hcs for the polycule, so

Pete is the tallest, at 6 foot

Steph's pretty close, 5'7"

Grace is 5'5"

Ruth is 5'3"

Richie is 5'3" and a half, and he will never let Ruth forget it

[stephanies-polycule]

chapter 3 is up! a bit of a shorter one, only because I decided to split into into two chapters

[stephanies-polycule]

Chapters: 2/? Fandom: Hatchetfield Universe - Team StarKid Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Grace Chasity/Ruth Fleming, Ruth Fleming/Stephanie Lauter, Grace Chasity/Stephanie Lauter, Ruth Fleming/Grace Chasity/Stephanie Lauter, Stephanie Lauter/Peter Spankoffski | Hot Chocolate Boy, Ruth Fleming & Richie Lipschitz & Peter Spankoffski | Hot Chocolate Boy Characters: Ruth Fleming, Grace Chasity, Stephanie Lauter, Peter Spankoffski | Hot Chocolate Boy, Richie Lipschitz, Mark Chasity, Karen Chasity Additional Tags: Falling In Love, Mutual Pining, Fluff, only slightly, nonbinary Ruth Fleming, Misgendering, Internalized Homophobia, There Is a Scene that Mimics Dirty Girl, The Chasitys are Slightly More Chill Series: Part 1 of Stephanie's Polycule Summary:

Ruth Fleming has gotten a lot more confident since she started dating Steph. Many things still test that new found confidence, one of those being interacting with Grace Chasity. What happen when the two collide?

Chapter 2 is up! this one from Grace’s pov. also, I figured out how to order fics in a series, so I probably won’t include the notes at the start explaining where it is in the series anymore

[stephanies-polycule]

This is pretty much exactly what happed in my au

New Headcannon time. Richie has dated both Ruth and Pete, it just did not work out.

In that order too. Richie and Ruth tried to date like early middle school and then Richie realised he's probably gay. So he told Ruth and she was like 'damn, I'll be forever alone then rip'

Then Ruth met Pete in a tap class and they became friends at school and she was like 'hey, you two should date,' so they tried it out and it was just not right for them. They didn't have romantic feelings for each other, plain and simple.

One of the reasons Ruth and Richie both kinda push Pete to date/bang Ruth. It's only fair /lh

If you're wondering where this came from, for the longest time I've seen Pete x Richie as just... weird. Like, more than I find other Pete ships weird. And I realised. Yeah, it's because it reminds me of my me and my friend. We dated for like a week and we were like 'yeah, nope, this aint right,' so we stopped. And we remained friends afterward.

Alright, the poll is complete! And with an overwhelming majority, the Ruth and Grace fic won! Thanks so much to everyone who voted. Ruth and Steph fans, don't worry too much. I will still write that one, just later. And due to the timeline I have set out for this, Ruth and Steph will already be together, they just won't be the main focus. I'm planning on this being my furst multichapter fic, so I'm really looking forward to it. I hope everyone who voted is too ^-^

Ok, so I want my next fic in the polycule au to be Ruth centric, but I'm not sure if I want to write Ruth and Grace getting together, or Ruth and Steph getting together. Ruth and Steph would come first chronologicaly, if that impacts anything
