Prompt: French.


Sunlight filtered through the large window in John and Bobby's dorm room. John sat, bathed in sunlight, at their shared desk. One cheek was resting against his fist as he glared down at a small booklet.

"I don't see why we have to do this shit. What is the point of learning French? We live in America, not France."

Bobby looked up from where he lay sprawled across his bed. "We have to because...well, what if we want to go to France?"

John frowned and spun in his chair to glare at the lounging blond.

"Fuck France."

"Well, France says fuck you too," Laughed Bobby.

John's features broke into a grin. "You swore. You never swear!"

A light blush spread across the bridge of Bobby's nose.

John laughed. "I guess I'm rubbing off on you."

Bobby raised one oddly prefect eyebrow. "Rubbing off, hey?"

Bobby sent John a perverted grin from his sprawled position, and bucked his hips suggestively.

John's cheeks turned a bright shade of crimson.

"Fuck you Drake."

Bobby snickered, "That's kind of the idea."

John threw the French book at him.

First in a series of oneshots and drabbles, each about Bobby and John. Stay tuned.

Feedback is love. Constructive criticism is wonderful.

And yes, we are aware of how lame our title is. It will change eventually.

Note, Sly writes all Pyro's lines and Jesca writes all of Iceman's.

Love,

Jesca and Sly
