Frender One Shots

Binary Blues

"Hey, Bender!" Fry exclaimed, lowering the book he was reading as he turned towards his friend. He leaned in, whispering "010011010101011," while a smug, triumphant grin spread across his face.

Bender looks up from his book, surprise painted across his facial features in the form of raised optics and a slightly open mouth plate.

Instead of being congratulated like he was expecting, Fry saw Bender narrow his eyes and lean back into the arm of the couch.

After a short pause, Bender raised his hand, almost as if to slap Fry.

Oh my God, what did I say? Did I insult his mother? Fry thought as he flinched, closing his eyes in preparation for the impact.

But it never came.

So Fry slowly opened his eyes, only to find Bender leaning closer to him. He lightly placed his hand on Fry's shoulder.

"Fry..." he said as he leaned in even closer.

"Fry." He moved until his face was nearly touching the other's.

Turning his head towards Fry's ear, he whispers, "Your binary sucks," before calmly returning to his book despite the annoyed glare Fry sent at him.
