The Smartest Idiots

Summary:

Some people are too smart to see the obvious, Peter and Ned are prime examples of that.

Notes:

I enjoyed the first one a lot so I couldn't help myself and typed this one out as well. The textpost it's based off of:

Mj: We're in a group of ten, one of us is bound to be gay.
Peter: I hope it's Ned, he's really cute.
Flash: Yeah Peter, I'm sure it's Ned.
Ned: Hmm, I wasn't paying attention?
Betty: Michelle pointed out that in our group, one of us has to be gay.
Ned: Oh, I hope it's Peter, he's really cute.
Peter: Wait, Ned... It's probably Brad!
Ned: Oh my gosh, you're right!
Flash: I... I don't know what to say.
Betty: They're so smart...
Mj: But so stupid at the same time.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

"So," Michelle said getting mainly everyone's attention, "we're in a group of ten," she leaned back watching everyone, "one of us is bound to be gay."

There were a few looks at each other wondering who it could be when Peter said, "I hope it's Ned, he's really cute."

"Yeah, Peter." Flash said, patting Peter's arm, "I'm sure it's Ned."

"Hmm?" Ned had headphones in but the song he was listening to ended right when Flash said his name, "I heard my name, but I wasn't paying attention."

Betty jumped in immediately, "Michelle pointed out that in our group, one of us has to be gay," she was going to repeat what Peter had said but decided against it last second, "statistically anyways."

"Oh!" Ned nodded, "I hope it's Peter. He's really cute." Peter smiled at that.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome," Ned replied just as cheesily as Peter.

While it seemed like they were both oblivious Peter looked like he had just figured something out. "Wait, Ned, it's so obvious..." The group waited, leaning in, hoping that the two would finally figure it out, "It's probably Brad!"

They sank into their seats once again, groaning as Ned exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, you're so right!"

"I... I don't even know what to say." Flash said, shaking his head.

Betty's eye twitched, "They're so smart..."

"But so stupid at the same time." Michelle finished, looking at them in such disappointment.

They just watched as Peter and Ned animatedly talked about the possibility, one day they're just going to have to lock them in a closet or something. Knowing them, they still wouldn't get the hint.

Notes:

This was the quickest one to write. I'm in an Interwebs mood.

I appreciate all comments/criticisms/feedback you'd like to share with me. As well as letting me know if you found any mistakes I missed so I can fix them. Really hope you enjoyed this read and that you're day is going well.
