We Just Work

Hey, mister

[kiss]

How'd your meeting go?

That's great. I'm so glad, honey

I told you everything would be fine.

You're such a worrywart

[sigh]

C'mere

Let me get my arms around you.

Mmmm

There we go

There's my man

[pause]

Hmmmm, sweetie, you smell so good.

It should be illegal for anyone to smell this good...

Mm-hmm

That's why I'm always falling asleep on you.

I really just like to breathe you in.

Shut up

That's not creepy

It's love

If anything, I'm doing you a favor by letting you be the pillow for such a beautiful head

[laughs]

I dunno

You smell like...

You

I can't really describe it

You've just got some kind of special pheromone that makes me follow you around, and hug you, and kiss you,

[kiss]

and curl up in your lap, and steal your hoodies...

Mm-hm

[yawn]

I didn't even wanna steal them

It was just a chemical reaction

Couldn't be helped

No jury would convict me

Yup

It would be very short trial

For "Exhibit A" I'd just make everyone hug you

Thirty minutes later I'd walk away scot-free

[pause]

Yeah, I know, the legal system's a mess isn't it

[laughs]

Ugh

No...I'm not just with you because you smell nice

You have lots of other nice qualities that aren't scent-based

[pause]

Well...

You are extremely cute and cuddly

You fix my computer when it's broken

You let me eat off your plate even though it bothers you

[laughs]

You're a very good listener and a thoughtful gift giver and...

You just...

You're perfect

I mean not "perfect"

You can be annoying as hell sometimes

But you're perfect for me

[pause]

It's like

We have...complimentary imperfections

You know?

We both are very adept...at handling each other's baggage and hangups and...bad habits

Because everything else is just so unbelievably right

You're just...such a great guy

[pause]

Aww, you're sweet.

[kiss]

You know, you're quite the charmer once I soften you up a little bit

[laughs]

You remember when we first starting dating?

God you were -so- nervous

You were always fidgeting

Never knew what to do with your hands

[pause]

Oh honey, I'm not trying to be mean

It was adorable

You were cute!

I was honestly flattered to have that effect on you

It just felt like you thought I was...

This fragile little bubble

And if you said or did the wrong thing, I'd just pop

But little did you know, I already had designs on you

I'd already decided you were mine

Mm-hm

You had no choice

You were only a pawn in my evil scheme to cuddle you and snuggle you and nibble on your neck and watch cartoons with you forever

[laughs]

Of course I'm a weirdo

That's why you looooove me

[kiss]

[laughs]

I mean I joke around, sweetie

But you know I mean every word

I am so grateful that you are you

You are my heart

You are my home

You're the place I feel safe and comfortable

I can be vulnerable around you

Be myself

I can tell you anything

I don't have to put up walls or bottle myself up

And that is very, very special

We just work

Period

And I have honestly never felt that way about anyone before

You are my very best friend

And I love you

[kiss]

[pause]

Now

Back to the subject at hand

Why you smell so good

[laughs]

I think that the secret is probably that soap you use

But I can't really be 100 percent sure unless I use some for myself

[kiss]

I need first hand experience

[kiss]

So why don't you follow me into the shower

[kiss]

And we can test that hypothesis

[kiss]

For science

[kiss]

Mm-hmm

[laughs]
