Bizarre G2 ficlet.

[dizmo]

I was bored, I wanted to write something. Angie suggested Tan/Joffy.

This was inordinately wrong.

But I did say I'd write the first prompt I got.



"Automaton."

Tantalus looked up from his book with a sigh. Upon seeing who he rather expected to see, he promptly returned to his book.

"Yep. You're just as lively as ever."

"And you're just as irritating as ever. I am hardly here for your amusement."

Joffy tsked under her breath. "Why does Rhad like you again?"

"I could hardly tell you. Perhaps he confuses me with a mirror."

"I really don't think that's it. He's much hotter than you are."

"Brain damage does not equate to attractiveness in most minds."

"You really are an asshole, you know that?"

"I'm not trying to win any popularity contests."

"You could at least look at me while you're talking to me, automaton."

Yet another sigh, as he looked up at her. "What?"

"I bet Rhad's even a better kisser."

"We hardly have the same type. It would be an impossible contest to find a judge for."

At that, Joffy promptly leaned over and planted a kiss on Tan's lips.

Tantalus froze stock-still.

Joffy pulled back. "Ew. What does Dies see in you? Ew, ew, ew." She wandered off, a string of 'Ew's in her wake.

Tan just sighed and went back to reading.
