Pairing: JC and Nick
Words: aorta; currant; hypocrite; endanger
"What did the heart say to the mugger?"
"I don't know."
"Aorta hurt you."
JC blinked slowly at Nick. "That doesn't make sense."
"Sure it does," Nick said, bouncing in his seat, waving his hands. "'Aorta' -- see, it sounds like 'I ought to'. It's a pun."
"No, I got that. I mean, if you were getting mugged, wouldn't you just hand over the money? You wouldn't threaten the mugger. That would be stupid; you'd be endangering yourself."
Nick rolled his eyes. "Yeah, and bodily organs can talk."
"Um. Yeah. I guess there is that."
He shook his head. "Never mind. It was a stupid joke."
"Nick?"
Nick didn't look up. "What?"
"What did the currant say to the radish?"
"What?"
"I'd like to date you, but my mom doesn't want me going out with vegetables."
"Huh?"
"Currants are dates," JC explained patiently.
"That's not funny, JC."
"It's a pun. Like yours."
"But yours wasn't funny."
"Fine." JC sulked for a moment, then blurted, "You're a hypocrite, you know."
"I'm a what? Just because I didn't think your joke was funny?"
"Yes. You want me to laugh at your jokes, but you won't laugh at mine." JC was pouting.
"But yours was dumb."
JC thought about it. "Well. Maybe it was. But I just now made it up. To make you feel better because I didn't get your joke."
"You did?"
"Yeah."
"That's really... sappy. Really really sappy."
"Said the maple tree to the bucket."
