It was an ordinary Tuesday night at the loft. Brian was working on his computer and Justin was sketching on the sofa. Radio was on but neither one was really listening to it.
All of a sudden Justin started listening to the words.
We've had some fun, and yes we've had our ups and downs
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me
'Okay, I took the bait once… and was that a mistake of a lifetime or what? Jeez, what the hell did I ever see in him? I can't believe I fell for his bullshit. Well, that was a miscalculation that won't ever happen again.'
Brian's thoughts were interrupted by a song on the radio.
We've had our doubts, we never took them seriously
And we've had our ins and outs, but that's the way it's supposed to be
We thought about giving up, but we could never stay away
Thought about breaking up, but now we know it's much too late
And it's no great mystery
If we change our minds
Eventually, it's back to you and me
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me
'Ins and outs. Yep, a lot of them. A lot. Fuck, I've never thought this as a hot song but I guess it is… Or maybe Justin has just set the temperature high again – he's always so cold.'
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, it's true, (yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
'cause I can see, (I can see) that you're happy to be stuck with me
(yes it's true) I'm so happy to be stuck with you
I'm happy to be stuck with you
Happy to be stuck with you.
Justin noticed that the tapping sound of Brian's keyboard had stopped. He wondered if Brian was listening to the song too. Though that would've been ridiculously romantic. When the song ended, the keyboard started singing again. Justin smiled to himself.
"Brian?"
'He couldn't have noticed,' Brian thought. "Yeah?" he said looking at his partner.
"Are you happy to be stuck with me?"
Brian gave Justin his infamous Kinney look.
Justin smiled. "Yeah, me too."
Brian tried his best to keep a straight face but he couldn't help the smile from escaping his lips. 'I guess it's not always a bad thing to be stuck with someone,' he thought.
