Strangetown Extras: The Banana Question
Okay, this is a short, silly thing, inspired by some talk at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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.

Oh my God, Beau eating the banana. One of the most hilarious story moments ever.
Beau is just...he's winning me over. He's such an awesome kind of asshole. (The good kind of asshole, I promise!)

Seriously, I'm so proud to have provided the raw material for that icon. :D
Aren't all assholes awesome? I don't know... people say characters are assholes like it's a BAD thing, but I love their little hearts. Maybe I just know a lot of jackasses, but these are the types of people you want to hang out with, right? They're never boring.

You're right, hanging around with assholes is always hilarious. Never a dull moment.
My favorite characters in shows/books/movies are usually the assholes, because you love to hate them. The thing I love about Beau is, he doesn't really care about what people will do and then he knows how to get on your nerves. He's awesome.

Don't I know it. Most of my favourite people are assholes, at least part of the time. Hell, I'm even an asshole at times.
He does. Beau is a master of calling you out on your shit and making fun of you, but he does it in a way that prevents you from doing anything about it. And somehow, you still like him. It must be enraging. :P
