Rating: PG
Summary: A little conversation about why there isn't a Mrs. Cobra.
Cobra lowered the newspaper and looked over at Rick. He wasn’t certain that he’d heard what he thought he heard. “What did you say?” He wasn’t all that old, but he supposed after all the time he’d spent on various battlefields, his hearing could be slipping.
“I said, why aren’t you married?” Rick stared at him with a cheerful gleam in his eyes. “Kenny said there’s something happy about a guy who doesn’t have a wife or a girlfriend.” The gleam lessened a bit as Rick frowned. “No, he didn’t say happy, he said ‘gay’.”
Cobra tried hard not to choke at that. He wasn’t very successful at not choking.
“R…Rick…” He grasped for his coffee cup and made a large pretense of drinking it, that wasn’t as large as he wanted to be, since he needed something to calm him down. “I’m not married because I’ve never met anyone I wanted to marry.”
Rick nodded a little, then tilted his head to the other side. “So, I should tell Kenny you’re not gay?”
The End
