Probably, but do you really wanna be the poster child for veneers?

[Stefan raises his eyebrows, leaning back in his seat as he contemplates this. People have asked for stranger things, after all. Pets, animal (and human) blood, and even whole sets of furniture are fair game for the mystical and magical closets that inhabit every room within Wonderland.

But teeth? That's a road he never wanted to wander down.]

Plus, even if I asked, I'm pretty sure I'd mess up and get like, those toy chattering teeth instead.

[ barry lifts his cup off the table to move it in his hands, swirling the liquid inside of it. glancing down for only a moment to watch as it doesn't splash over the brim, he looks at stefan, as if waiting for the punchline. chattering teeth always came to life in the movies, and it's not something barry's taken much into account of when it came to wishing for things that weren't exactly normal from the closets. ]

[ now, it's added to his list. ]

You say that like chattering teeth isn't a cool thing to get ever.

Only when you're actually wishing for it.

[He wrinkles his nose, as if he's been deeply insulted. Truth is, Stefan hasn't quite mastered the fine art of reaching into the closet and grabbing what his heart desires. Either the closets are laughing at him or his mind's far too jumbled up or - or there's some actual trick that he hasn't quite uncovered. Or worse, all of the above.]

Maybe it's because I'm new here, but the closets don't seem to like me much.

[ the next thing on barry's wish list: chattering teeth. it sits somewhere below beyonce's new album, lady gaga's new album, remixes of the songs on both cds, something of mom's, something of dad's, a photograph the closet won't quite give him. but it's on the first page of his wish list. he's set to prove to stefan people would wish for chattering teeth. ]

It's all in the flick of the wrist. [ he lifts his hand and does just that, flicking his wrist and hearing a slight crack. he glances down at it in some surprise, then forgoes it. perhaps his bones truly do need a little resting from all of his speeding around. ] Trust me. [ except he's totally lying, he has no idea why the closet gives and doesn't give at times. ]

It's Leviosa, not Leviosa. It's all in how you think and say it.

[Hmm.

Stefan blinks at Barry's wrist, half-wondering if he should offer up his blood. Everything seems okay? Maybe?]

Really? [He rests both arms on the table, careful to not jostle his drink.] In that case, I wanna offer a proposition. You teach me the fine art of closet wishing, and I give you... I don't know. Maybe a CD full of those obnoxious deer sounds.

[It's a serious Bargain, considering how loud and obnoxious such a recording can be. Stefan's even willing to turn back into a deer again, should they even find someone well-versed in Transfiguration.]

Deer sounds? Will it be teal deers or pink deers? I feel like this is a pretty important thing to know before I accept.

[ resting his fist on the table, he looks at stefan earnestly. though it could be a joke, barry would accept a cd of deer sounds. he can already think of a few evil things he could do with it, like play it in wells' room and hide the stereo so he can't find the source of the odd noise. ]

[ he can easily recognise stefan's small offer for what it is. from what barry understands, he still hasn't quite found himself. it's okay by him. he'll accept deer sounds, because it means no one else has a cd full of deer sounds. what stefan has to offer has value, even if he doesn't quite see it. ]

Teal. Definitely teal - you think I'd hold out on you in your hour of need?

[Stefan laughs, genuinely, at his brazen offer. He'll even throw in one of those stuffed teal deer, just so Barry can torment whoever he chooses at whatever hour he chooses.

He may not like what he turned into, let alone how he sounded, but he can put that past him for the sake of understanding Wonderland (and in turn, maybe himself).]

[ barry smiles. it sounds like a deal to him, and one that's good, even if stefan can't find sounds made specifically by a teal deer. in truth, barry doesn't require anything in return for showing stefan how to use the closet. he doesn't need anything at all. but if it makes stefan feel better, he'll accept it. it's not his place to tell someone how to be at ease when they feel they're asking for too much. ]

Teal deer deliver. Other deer? [ barry shakes his head, pulling a face. he looks serious when he says, ] I wouldn't trust them.

Smart. From what I remember, orange deer were the worst gossips, and brown? Super skittish.

[He ducks his head to hide his smile. Stefan can't remember the last time he's felt this comfortable - which, again, could be the amnesia talking. It could also be a sign of how topsy-turvy everything's been.

This, though, feels right. While Stefan'll soon learn to accept an offer for what it is, he appreciates being taken seriously.]

For real? Oh man, I guess I better end that friendship.

[ barry finally takes a drink of his coffee and squints, making a soured face as he does so. placing it down, he coughs a moment, before his throat seems to settle from all the sugar. ]

He told me to put sugar in my drink. Never trust a blue deer, dude. [ he coughs again, as if for good measure, but he feels something finally shift in his throat. ]

A bit late for that, don't you think? [He raises his eyebrows in amusement, wrapping a hand loosely around his own mug.] Now you're stuck with me and my -

[Wait. Shit.

His groan can probably be heard across the entire coffee shop.]

No wonder I was teal.
