When you started your new job, the environment wasn’t exactly the warmest.. Granted, you were new, and others had more time to grow fond of each other. It was a bit boring, being glued to your desk. Until, the first time you met Clyde.

The department was huge, you didn’t think you’d ever seen him, as cute as he was. He’d helped you out with the printer one day, a mindless thing, and a wordless act of service after watching you struggle. He was so terribly serious, yet when you thanked him in that sweet tone you did, you could see the tips of his ears redden. From that moment.. you couldn’t leave him alone.

You bugged Clyde always, and although he wanted to seem aloof and above it all, his body betrayed him every time. He flustered easily, or at least, around you.. Fidgeting with his glasses, typing absolute gibberish on his computer to avoid looking at you, rubbing at the back of his neck when you got too close. You two quickly earned the terms ‘work wife’ and ‘work husband’. It became quite an entertaining topic when you and Clyde interacted.

The company was having a party tonight, and you wondered if your dork was coming.. Once again, you were hanging around his desk..

“Ah, it’s you again..” He rolled his eyes, pretending to be averse to your presence, though you could see the faint twitch of his lips.
