A Chance Encounter (Chris Hemsworth X OMC)

What's Your Sign?

Chris was in the middle of telling some stories about some of the antics he and the other Avengers cast would get up to when Wyatt walked onto the deck . He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes raking over Wyatt's body. He was dressed in a tight white t-shirt that showed off his chest and abs, the sleeves tight around his arms. Sprawled across the chest were the words 'Hesperia Swimming' in bold green font. He wore a pair of soccer shorts that were the same green as the letters on his shirt, with white stripes down the sides. They were tight and short, showing off his well-developed legs and calves. And when he breezed past Chris, throwing off a clean, fresh scent, the Aussie couldn't resist a double take.

"So then Scarlett asked us who ate her lunch," Chris went on, his momentary lapse of focus noticed by the others. "We blamed Robert."

Robert, who was busy flipping steaks, shook his head. "Yeah, you bunch of assholes. She was so mad at me."

"That reminds me of Ashley," Wyatt said as he took a seat on one of the outdoor sofas next to Elizabeth.

"Fuck her," Allie laughed.

"Who the hell is Ashley?" Jeremy asked.

"Ashley is a made up person that we always blame things on," Wyatt explained. "One time we were at a party and Elizabeth took a picture of Allie that was super embarrassing. When she asked who took the picture, I said 'I think it was Ashley' and it just kind of stuck."

"So now, anytime anything goes wrong we always just say it was Ashley's fault," Darren added as he handed Wyatt a drink.

"It's a little strong," Elizabeth warned Wyatt. "He went a little heavy on the liquor this round."

Wyatt shrugged. "I can handle it."

"Yeah, right, you little lightweight," Darren laughed.

"Lightweight?" Chris asked.

"Very lightweight," Elizabeth clarified.

Wyatt shook his head. "Okay, but I'm not a problematic lightweight."

"That's true," Darren said. "I'll give you that one. Usually if he gets drunk he just dances and then passes out."

"Sometimes takes his clothes off," Elizabeth added.

Chris made a mental note to test this out at some point.

Wyatt shrugged his shoulders and took another gulp before setting the drink down.

"Hey, do your grandparents still have that astrology book in the library?" Allie asked.

Darren nodded. "Yeah, I think they do!"

"It's not just an astrology book," Elizabeth said. "It's a sextrology book."

Evans clapped his hands together. "Alright, I think we need to see this book."

Darren went off to find it for some after dinner entertainment. Robert finished cooking up the steaks and veggie burgers and the others helped to plate everything. The group moved over to the big table at the other end of the deck, situated beneath a big umbrella. As they took their places, the others made a concentrated effort to ensure that Chris and Wyatt would end up sitting near each other. Chris was seated at the head of the table and Wyatt sat to his left, boxed in by Allie.

While he was eating, Wyatt felt a foot brush against his. He looked up from his plate and Chris grinned at his inquisitive glance. "Must have been Ashley," he whispered in an exaggeratedly innocent voice.

Wyatt shook his head and grinned as he looked down at his food.

"So," Jeremy said as everyone finished up. "About this book?"
