Author's Note: New drinking game: take a shot every time a character in this drabble says some form of the word "aggression."
Britta keeps pace with Troy as they leave Shirley to serve Jeff with a guilt trip only a mother could inflict. She's not done insisting that fighting is reflective of unresolved gayness.
"If fighting's not about getting the gay out, what is the point?" she asks, raising an eyebrow in superiority.
"It's about releasing aggression and proving you're better than the other guy," Troy shrugs.
"Aha!" Britta points. "Releasing aggression? How is that not gay?"
"Because aggression is manly!" Troy defends, catching her eye for a moment.
Pierce pipes up then, "Britta's confused about the implications of aggression because she's so aggressive. She doesn't realize how manly it is. Or that she's a lesbian."
"I am not a lesbian!" Britta insists. "And manly or not, aggression means you've been holding something back. Like the fact that two guys are gay for each other."
"Then what does your aggression mean?" Troy asks.
"Britta's aggressive because she's always pretending to be mentally healthy by holding back her emotions," Abed says, his voice taking on that logical tone that means he's psychoanalyzing a member of the group.
"But while we're on the topic of fighting, I feel it should be addressed that verbal arguments are often reflective of sexual tension," Abed continues, but Britta's eyes are still on Troy.
"I am not that aggressive! You're just oversensitive," she accuses.
"I am in touch with my emotions," Troy replies. "We've had this conversation before!" he adds.
Abed looks back and forth between the two. "Usually I would cite Jeff and Britta as an example of unresolved tension, but…" he trails off, knowing that neither of them are listening and Pierce is preoccupied with trying to remove his punching gloves.
