Reader Insert Prank Call 5:Arthur and the Skittles

Arthur doesn't like Skittles.



~One Day Earlier~


"Arthur, hey, Arthur." You urged your friend.

"What is it this time, (y/n)?"

"Taste the rainbow." You threw a couple Skittles at him, and he didn't look pleased.

"You know I don't like candy. Let alone that garbage." He scoffed, and looked away.

"Garbage? Have you not tasted that industrial waste in your kitchen?" You asked him.

"Industrial waste?"

"I mean those rocks you put on plates."

He looked at you blankly.

"I mean your scones, Arthur." You clarified for him.

"MY SCONES DO NOT TASTE LIKE INDUSTRIAL WASTE!"

You sighed. Now this would start again….



Present Day.


You stared at your phone. You wanted to prank Arthur. He was so much fun to prank! You couldn't help it! He was just so boring all the time, he needed a little pranking! Okay, he was just asking for it. Being so boring all the time. You scoffed. But before anything, you had to think of a plan first. Sighing, you tried to come up with some elaborate plan, but just decided on something simple, that you had actually not done before.

A prank call.

Giggling, you went to your home phone, knowing he didn't know the number. You quickly punched in his number, and held the phone to your ear, giddy with excitement.

"Hello?"

"Hello, this is Skittles Candies! We're calling to tell you that you've been randomly selected to win a lifetime supply of Skittles!" You said, sounding extremely happy.

Arthur looked up. Why would they have chosen him? "How did you choose me to win this contest, exactly?"

You knew Arthur wasn't dumb enough to just go along with it completely. That's why you planned for him to ask this question, remembering how he had gone into the store for you the day before, so that you didn't get soaked by the rain. Now he would see where being such a gentleman got him.

"Well, sir, you bought Skittles at (grocery store) yesterday, didn't you?" Arthur slammed his palm to his forehead. He had bought (y/n) one package of that damn candy and now this was happening?

You suppressed a giggle. You heard Arthur groan on the other end of the phone, probably face palming.

"Listen, I don't even like your candy, so if you would please-"

"Listen, sir," You said as sternly as you could without laughing, "you should be glad that you've won our contest. Now, you must except the Skittles."

Arthur scoffed. "Or else what?"

"The Skittles company will sue you." You said nonchalantly.

"SUE ME?! FOR POLITELY TURNING DOWN YOUR OFFER?! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE?!" Arthur yelled.

"That wasn't very polite." You commented.

"WELL I'M DONE BEING POLITE!"

"You know, sir, some people would consider this abuse." You said, grabbing a nail file and filing your nails for show.

You heard Arthur draw in a deep breath, and let it out slowly.  "Listen, I was buying that disgusting garbage for a friend of mine, so-"

You couldn't take it anymore. Before Arthur had a chance to finish his sentence, you broke out in uncontrollable laughter, not ceasing for probably a whole five minutes. When you finally stopped, and wiped the tears from your eyes, you noticed that the line hadn't gone dead.

"Arthur? Are you there?" You asked.

"(Y/n)?" He asked, his voice shaky.

"Mmhm," You giggled.

You pulled the phone from your ear and tried to distract yourself from the string of curse words coming from the other end.
