Pairing: Chris and AJ
Words: etiquette; exterminate; absurdity; ferry
"So, did you hear? There's an asteroid about to hit the Earth and exterminate all of mankind. Wanna fuck?"
AJ pulled the phone back from his ear, and looked at the number. Blocked. "Who the hell is this? And that was a movie. Two movies. And the one of the lamest pick-up lines ever."
"No, really. There was an asteroid and it came within 75,000 miles of the Earth and there was like a real danger that everyone was going to die. Um, yesterday. But I didn't hear about it until today. So it'd really be better if you could pretend this was yesterday."
"The next thing I hear will be a name, or I'm hanging up."
"It's Chris."
"Chris?" AJ fitted the name with the absurdity level of the conversation. "Kirkpatrick. What the fuck?"
"Exactly. But you don't seem very enthused about the idea."
"Some whack job just called me in the middle of the afternoon and hit on me. How do you think I feel?"
"Flattered?"
AJ snorted. "Try annoyed. Look, you don't just call near-strangers up in the middle of the afternoon and ask to have sex with them."
"Thank you, Mr. Etiquette. Just for that, I won't call you up for sex in the middle of the afternoon anymore."
"Thanks."
"So the middle of the night work better for you?"
"You don't give up, do you?"
"Nope. So do you want me to come over there, or do you want to come over here? I've got supplies, so less stuff to ferry over to your place if you come here, but as the askee, I thought I'd leave it up to you."
"Just out of curiosity, are the prank calls why Eminem dissed you in that song? 'Cause that's making a whole lot more sense now."
"Hmm. The Divine Mr. M does seem to appreciate the Kirkpatrick charms."
"Probably a whole hell of lot more than I do. Need his number?"
