A Gramophone with a Hot Potato in Its Mouth (David Blaize & Psmith; David Blaize and Rupert Psmith)
Title: A Gramophone with a Hot Potato in Its Mouth
Fandoms: Psmith & David Blaize
Pairing/Characters: David Blaize and Rupert Psmith
Rating: G
Content Notes: 100 words. The title's from Psmith, Journalist
Prompt: David & Psmith – lessons
Psmith bestowed on David a genial smile, but what he said was, “Butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth even if you had a hot potato in there.”
David’s wounded look was only partially feigned. “I thought I did jolly well there, piffling on the fly.”
“You shouldn’t have needed to piffle,” Psmith pointed out.
“I don’t understand how you’re so kind to blithering idiots like Johnson—and then you give me twenty kinds of hell.”
“Same reason Maddox whacks at you. He wouldn’t bother if he thought you couldn’t do better.”
Psmith was no longer smiling, and David swallowed hard.
