Fuck You

Jack and Dean were playing 'Fireboy and Watergirl' on Jack's laptop, sitting on the living room couch. They were on the fifth level of the Forest Temple. So far, their lack of teamwork was getting in the way of a good score, much to their mutual annoyance.

"You know, we're supposed to be working together on this and you're kind of sucking at it," Dean said, giving Jack a deadpan look.

Jack narrowed his eyes at the shorter man. "I'm sucking? You're the one who can't seem to get a handle on where the hell you're going and making our completion time go up."

"Well, part of our score is calculated by how many crystals we've collected and you make sure to get all of yours while almost never letting me get all of mine."

"Getting your crystals wouldn't be a problem if you weren't so bloody clumsy with the controls and kept making me wait."

"Maybe you should learn a little patience," Dean said.

"Maybe you should stop being so damn slow," Jack retorted.

Dean sighed in exasperation. "Look, this level seems to be pretty easy, so we should be able to get an A rank if we cooperate with each other."

"Fine by me."

Jack started first, as Fireboy and pushed the lever to allow Dean (as Watergirl) to go up to the next platform. Dean pushed the next lever so Jack could go up. This continued until both were at the top on a shared platform.

"Now let me get all my gems for this level," Dean said, looking pointedly at Jack.

Jack didn't respond and jumped up to the higher platform with lava. Dean glared and jumped to the opposite platform with water. He then jumped down getting the blue gems along the way and landed on the log at the bottom.

"Great, now I can't get the gems on my end," Jack said.

"Cool your tits. I'll let you get all your gems."

Dean jumped off the long continually, allowing Jack's log to go down and for Jack to get the red gems. When Jack went to his door, Dean looked at the screen and saw he missed one gem on his side.

"Wait a minute, I still have one gem to get."

"Well, I can't get back on the log, so..." Jack went inside his door causing the level to end.

Dean glared at his best friend. "What the hell Jack?"

Jack put his hands up. "There was nothing I could do."

"Then we could've restarted the level. It wouldn't have taken long."

"We didn't do that with any of the other levels."

"Because you're impatient or you just don't care about my part in this game."

"Well, it is just a game."

Dean gave Jack an incredulous stare before standing up. "You know what? Fuck you!"

He started walking toward his room and as Jack watched, a strange compulsion seized him and instead of ignoring the insult, Jack said, "What makes you think you'd top?"

Dean stopped in his tracks and slowly turned back toward Jack, his facial expression showing a mixture of confusion and shock. "Excuse me?"

Jack smirked. "I mean, you, fuck me? Why would you think I would let you?"

Dean raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't using the word 'fuck' in that context and besides, why would your mind even go there?"

It was a question Jack himself didn't know the answer to, but he kept going.
