Characters: Kutner & Thirteen
Prompt: Feeling Blue
Rating: PG
Summary: Kutner has been rejected and Thirteen attempts to cheer him up. Kind of.


"Uh, Kutner?" Thirteen said, sounding confused as she walked through the cafeteria.

The person in question was staring morosely at a cup of coffee like it had run over his puppy. His eyes jumped up when she set her tray down across from him and plopped down in the empty chair.

"What's wrong?" Kutner was normally someone who was perpetually cheerful, and the most unhappy he had been in the presence of Princeton-Plainsboro was when Cole had sold him out for his own immunity, and even then he had bounced back quickly.

"Nothing."

"Really. You haven't looked this sad since…" she paused. "What's wrong?"

"Hypothetically speaking, I asked a very hot, sexy blonde girl out and she's already, hypothetically seeing some sculpted hair oncologist, and I'm hypothetically feeling like crap for not having perfect hair."

She got the joke. "So you got rejected?"

"Hypothetically, yes."

"You should consider that maybe the certain smoking hot blonde you just tried to woo might be too…well, evil, for you."

"She has great legs. Hypothetically."

"I'm sure there are a lot of hypothetically great legs out in the world waiting for you."

He laughed.
