Title: A Glee-ful Distraction

Rating: PG/PG-13 for suggestive language.

Word Count: 498

Summary: The prompt for this was "Write a moment we hear about but don't see or don't see in full (anything from Paradigms, Pierce faking a heart attack mentioned in 2.23, Jeff's threesome from 2.20, etc.)" from oneofthemuses. We learned in "Basic Geneology" that Slater made Jeff watch Glee. He texts Annie for a distraction. Takes place around the time of "Basic Communication".

Disclaimer: I do not own Community, Glee, or Battlestar Galactica.

Jeff: Ugh, I hate Glee.

Annie: So don't watch it.

Jeff: I have to. Apparently being in a relationship means doing things you don't want to.

Annie: Slater watches Glee?

Jeff: Yes! It's awful. What's so appealing about a bunch of teens butchering classic songs?

Annie: I'm probably not the person to ask. I don't like Glee, either.

Jeff: That's because you have some semblance of taste. Seriously, every time Gwyneth Paltrow comes onscreen I want to claw my eyes out.

Annie: Really? I thought you had a thing for blondes.

Jeff: Not anymore. I've moved on to brunettes.

Jeff: I mean, because Michelle's brunette.

Annie: Right. What else would you have meant?

Jeff: Dunno. What're you up to tonight? Triple-checking your homework? Organizing your highlighters? Shuffling your flashcards?

Annie: No! If you must know, Abed lent me the first season of Battlestar Galactica. I've never seen it.

Jeff: I would so rather be watching that. I love that show.

Annie: Jeffery Winger, are you a closet nerd?

Jeff: It's an objectively awesome show. And you're one to talk. I'm actually surprised Annie Edison, nerd-extraordinaire, has never seen it.

Annie: That's because it's a boy-nerd show, not a girl-nerd show.

Jeff: What, girls can't like BSG? Only boys?

Annie: Ok, Britta.

Jeff: Low blow, Edison. What does tiny nipples think?

Annie: His name is Vaughn, Jeff. And he's on a vision quest, remember?

Jeff: Right, sorry. Glee has zapped my brainpower.

Annie: It's fine. You're welcome to come over if you want. I'm about to start "Bastille Day."

Jeff: As much as I love that episode, I think I'll pass. Leaving now means I miss out on the fun after Glee and I've suffered for nothing ;).

Annie: Jeff! Gross!

Jeff: What? We watch Glee like she wants, then we frack like I want. We compromise, like adults.

Annie: You're disgusting.

Jeff: Can't help it. It's who I am.

Annie: So what does she get after watching your shows?

Jeff: Don't know. We've never watched any of my shows

Annie: Oh. Sorry, I just assumed you watched your shows, too.

Jeff: It's fine. Looks like Glee's over. I'll let you get back to BSG. I'll see you tomorrow, Annie.

Annie: Enjoy your bedroom activities. Hope the suffering was worth it!

Jeff chuckles while putting his phone away, and looks over at Slater. "Good episode," she says, turning towards him, lips curved up in a seductive smile. "So. What do you want to do now?"

He stands up and grabs his coat. "You know, I'm not feeling very well. Been a long day. I think I'm just going to go home and crash."

"Oh, okay. I'll see you tomorrow. Feel better," she says, not seeming too concerned. Pressing a chaste kiss to his lips, she retreats into her bedroom, leaving him standing alone in the middle of her apartment.

When she breaks up with him two weeks later, he remembers Annie's last text and realizes it never was.
