Advent Drabble 13 - Tie

[earlgreytea68]

“It’s a tie,” said Ariadne.

“It can’t be a tie,” said Arthur desperately. “Count the votes again.”

“I’ve counted them three times,” said Ariadne. “They aren’t suddenly going to change.”

“But we can’t both be class president!” Arthur protested. “That is ridiculous! There must be some kind of tie-breaking mechanism!”

“Co-presidents,” mused Eames thoughtfully. “I think this will work. I will plan all of the fun social events that people will want to go to, and you’ll…do the boring stuff.”

Arthur glared at him. “This isn’t going to work, because I hate you.”

Eames grinned. “You say that now, darling…”

This made me laugh. I can just picture frustrated teen Arthur, desperate not to be co-anything with Eames. He has his reasons and I don't think it's hatred.

Okay, it's only now that I understand what is going on. I thought the tie was a necktie because, well, this is Arttur we're talking about. And also I didn't know that tie also means draw, damn my non-native-speaker-ness.)

Aaaand this is the beginning of EGT's next 200,000 word story. :D
