Disclaimer: If I owned Community, there would be a lot less Jeff/Annie stuff.
Author's Note: I know this won't be a popular opinion, but I got thoroughly fed up of the Jeff/Annie stuff in last season. I never thought I would say it but I actually kind of preferred Jeff with Britta. And I have to say that the episode where Pierce actually stands up for Britta sort of won me over to being her fan again. Anyway, end result was muchos sympathy for Britta and a yearning for something less gag-worthy and deeper than Annie making doe-eyes at Jeff. Prompts are from the E/O challenges on the Supernatural fandom and word of the week was Swirl. 100 words on the dot.
Swirl
Jeff finds Britta tedious, frustrating and infuriating most of the time but there are moments when he feels a pang in what's potentially his heart, moments where he realises why he fell for her to begin with.
She's looking at a simple ice-cream cone with such a forlorn expression that it prompts him to ask her snidely if she's never had one before.
'Of course I have. Before...' she trails off with a shrug but he knows the 'before' refers to something pretty grim. He buys her a strawberry swirl ice cream and her beaming smile makes it all worthwhile.
