"Dude, seriously? SERIOUSLY?" Zuko called to Jet. He lazily half-sat half-laid down on Jet's bed, with an arm draped over his face.
"Dude, why WOULDN'T this be serious? It's supposed to be really good. Smellerbee told me it made Toph cry. Toph. And she can't even see!" He returned to the room, holding his sister's copy of Titanic in his hands.
He was very excited. Jet had never seen Titanic before, he was always a sucker for chick flicks. He could never decide if The Notebook or Love Story was his favorite, or maybe Sleepless in Seattle. Either way, it didn't matter. He was pumped for Titanic.
"And you seriously believe a word that comes out of her mouth?" Zuko sat up to look at Jet face-on, "Didn't she have like, a huge crush on you in middle school? Why do I have to watch it?" he rocked onto his heels and then fell back onto the bed, "Man, this is dumb," he held up a single finger, "I don't believe it made Toph cry, man. I haven't ever seen her cry. Girl's tough as nails."
Jet popped the DVD into the player and got even more excited when he heard Celine Dion playing on the menu. "Oh come on, Celine Dion? Dude, you know it's gonna be good. Come on," he pulled Zuko's leg, "Nuh-COME ON." he grabbed both of his legs with his arms and dragged Zuko onto the floor. Looks like those four years of sports really did pay off.
"Ugh, can't believe this," Zuko muttered to himself as he propped himself against Jet's bed, crossing his arms over his lean chest.
"I bet you'll like it. Dude oh my God," Jet fangirled in Zuko's face, with multiple hand gestures and 'ohmygods'. He finally shut up when he saw the opening credits. "OH OH OH OK SHHH SHH ZUKO SHUT UP SHHH"
Or something like that.
A couple hours and many Kleenex tissues later, the two friends awaited the end of the film. Jet sat with his knees in his chest, gripping onto a tissue, crying into his Chinese food.
"No Rose no don't you oh my God why you could have moved oh my God Rose ROSE GOD NO JACK NOOO JACK OH MY GOD NO" Jet rocked back and forth, sobbing hysterically.
Zuko held back his tears as hardly as he could. But, when Rose lowered Jack into the water...
"LIAR. FUCKING TREACHEROUS LIAR. YOU'LL NEVER LET GO. OH. OK. THAT'S COOL TOO NICE. YEAH. LIVE YOUR NICE LITTLE OLD FRAGILE LADY LIFE AND LEAVE JACK THERE TO FREEZE IN THE SALTY OCEAN. FUCK YOU, ROSE."
His words weren't even coherent by the end of his outburst.
Jet turned to Zuko with that stupid smirk he always wore on his face and gave him a nice punch in the shoulder.
"I TOLD you you'd like it! I'm never wrong about these things!" Jet wiped his eyes and celebrated his tiny victory. "Do you need a tissue?"
Zuko turned his head away. "Yes." he said lowly. Jet laughed and handed him the box.
He snatched it from Jet, blew his nose, and turned back to him.
"So, you've seen A Walk To Remember, right?"
