[Comfort for being fired] [L-Bombs] [Romance]

Baby…? There you are. C’mere, let me hold you. No, no, don’t be silly, it’s alright… the least of my worries is your mascara on my shirt. Cry all you want, babydoll, so long as your tears end up right here, on my shoulder… okay? Yeah, I decided to call it a half-day; yeah, it’s no problem. Work was light and what’s the point in being manager if you can’t flex every now and then? Especially when a loved one needs you. No, baby… I know you’re trying to be tough now, and… well, you are, more than you know, but those lines on your cheek don’t lie… and I’m glad to be here. Especially now that… c’mere… mmn, now that you’re in my lap.

Look at me, baby. Look at me… please? There you are. Oh, sweetheart… it was pretty bad, huh? No, that’s fully understandable; it’s always a blow to the ego when someone says they don’t want you, even when it’s a bunch of stupid jerks like them. Okay, okay… you can still like them if you want, but I don’t have to. I’ll hate them for you. They never saw you for what you were, and it’s a damn shame, too; if they saw what I saw, if they knew the potential you have stored in you, you’d be… president. CEO. Czar, Emperor, Headmaster… however you wanna call it. You’d be running the place if it were up to me.

Biased? Well… I can see why you’d say that, but I honestly don’t think I am, babe. I look at you, and how hard you work and how much you give, and I see the work ethic of someone who should be making astronomically more than you do. You’ve more heart, more spunk, more fight, and more fire than any of those co-workers you introduced me to. Ex-co-workers, sorry. Good riddance, though, we’re better off without them, no? They’re a bunch of fuckin-

Oh, I’m… I’m sorry, lovely. All of this animosity isn’t helping, I’m sure; I just thought you could use someone to be angry for you. I… here. Listen close, okay? I’ve actually been giving this a lot of thought, not just now on the ride home but lately. I know you’ve been having problems with your job and I’m pretty sure I have it figured out. Now, it’s not the best analogy in the world, but… it works and it’s accurate, so hear me out, okay?

You’re a fork. A strong, sturdy, pointy fork. You are exceedingly efficient at doing forky things, and when it comes to forking you’re one of the best. Mind out of the gutter, love. Now, the thing is, the job you had, and the jobs you’ve been working in the past few years… they want you to be a spoon. They want to use you to eat soup. Oh, god, this analogy is really getting away from me. What I’m trying to say is, no matter how quick you move (and you move quick) and no matter how hard you work (and no one works harder than you), a fork will just never be efficient for having soup. And so long as you keep trying to use a fork to do a spoon’s job, you’re going to keep coming into these problems you do. It’s not your fault, it’s not their fault, it’s not the task’s fault… you were just meant for different things. Better things, bigger things, and years from now, when you’ve realized your dream and we’re looking back at this, I’ll be there to laugh with you, not at you, okay?

There’s that smile I love so much. -kissing sounds- Now then… what was my adorable little forkling made for, hmm? C’mon now… I’m sure you’ve got a passion in there, something you actually want to do with your time. Let’s hear it. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Yeah… wow, baby, yeah! You’d be absolutely perfect at that! You’ve got the right temperament, the right heart, the right spirit and the perfect passion for exactly that. Now, let’s take a look at this, yeah? We are here now… and your dream job is over here. Seems far away, right? Well… with time, with focus, and with some hard work… it won’t be as long as it looks. Besides, I’ve got you. I’m making more than enough to support us both so we’re nice and secure okay? We’re in this together, and I’m going to fight just as hard as you do to get you to your goal, babydoll. Because I love you… (kiss) and I love you… (kiss) and I love you… (kiss) and, of course, because I love you. Now… you can be as sad as long a syou want to be… I’ll be right here, holding you, and pulling up Tangled on the TV. Mmhmm, that’s right. We’ll order in, make tonight about us, and in the morning… we’ll start you down the path towards your dreams. For now, though… kiss me again.
