Strangetown Extras: The Banana Question

Okay, this is a short, silly thing, inspired by some talk at [livejournal.com profile] cultofrances today about Frances pairings. I thought about the interactions between him and the two guys in his life in my story, who haven't been featured together yet, though I've thought it through quite a bit. It also uses something extracted from Castaway Stories, which gave me an idea. Well, you'll see. ;)







"Oh... hi," Tank said, as he turned the corner into the kitchen.




"I thought it was just you." He meant Frances, but Beau paid this no mind.

"Yup, just us, T-man."

"Tank."

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Beau," Frances warned.

"Okay, I'm sorry... want a banana, Tank?"

"Excuse me?!"






"Yeah, you know... a banana? Delicious fruit... an excellent source of potassium? "

Beau proceeded to suggestively eat the banana, while Tank stood there awkwardly.




"Mmmm... sweet, sweet bananas."




Tank was aghast.

Beau was amused.




Frances was at a loss for words.

Oh dear god, what have I gotten myself into?

"You're sure you don't want any, Tank?" Beau asked, "They're pretty good."

"Umm... No thanks."




"You know, I really like your hair like that, Tank." Beau said, when he finished eating.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, you two sort of look alike now. Like one of those couples that starts to turn into each other after living together for so long."

"We're not a couple."

"Well, you know what I mean."

"Umm, sure. I'm... just going to get myself some mac and cheese here..." He walked over to the cupboard to find a box.

"Nice! Can we have some too?" Beau asked. Frances held his breath, thinking that this was maybe pushing it.




"Uhhh..." Tank paused. "Yeah, sure. Why not?"

Frances let out a sigh of relief.

Beau is way too fresh for his own good. Poor Tank would be so clueless, and Frances made me laugh with hos "OH NOES!" reaction.

Also, this MADE MY LIFE:

"Yeah, you two sort of look alike now. Like one of those couples that starts to turn into each other after living together for so long."

"We're not a couple."


Poor Tank. xDDD

I love adding Beau into this dynamic, because he really doesn't give a shit and he's not afraid of Tank AT ALL. "What's he going to do? Beat up the brittle-boned pale little blond guy? I don't think so!"

Frances isn't sure it's a good idea to mix them together. With GOOD REASON.

Heehee. Like it or not, Tank and Frances are a pair, if not a couple. Just wait until Ripp gets a hold of it all. It's Tank and his two gay buddies. XD So much for saying anything about Ripp's antics.
