Joy stretched her arms, bending her wrists to avoid hitting the bed frame. As she stretched, she felt Sadness cuddle up closer to her side, wrapping her arm over Joy's stomach.
Joy was a tough person to displease (hence the name), but it's moments like this that she really felt the purest form of happiness in. Morning sun filtering through the curtains, all the right smells of nature filtering through the windows, warm covers and her warm wife. It couldn't get better.
But time and tide waits for no woman. Eventually, Joy leaned down and muttered "I need to get to work." into Sadness's hair. While she didn't exactly hear what Sadness said, she'd been living with the woman long enough to understand.
"Yes now. You know I have to be in on time." She slowly unwrapped herself from Sadness's arms, stood up from the bed, and leaned down to kiss Sadness on the cheek. "I'll try and be back as soon as I can."

"You know, there are ups and downs to being a boss." Joy said to the man on the table.
"I can set my own hours, I control the pay, it seems like the best job right?"
"Mmmmph!"
"Shhhh. You're part will come soon. Anyway, it seems exciting, but it's really not. All the extra hours you can give yourself will be used to manage your business. And you can't give yourself so much money your open positions don't get filled right? It's hard."
The man stared up at her, wide eyed, breathing heavily.
"But there is one good benefit no matter what. I can always guarantee my wife's safety from the most dangerous gang in town."
She leaned down to a half inch away from his face.
"Because why would I ever hurt her?"
She straightened up again, speaking as she walked over to her desk.
"I'm sure you're expecting one of those whole 'where's my money' speeches they do in movies Tim. Well I'm not going to give you one of those speeches. I've had to ask you three times now. Baseball rules: 3 strikes," she slid a bat out from the space where her feet would go. "you're out. You don't even get to explain yourself now. In fact, let's stick with the sports theme shall we?"
Joy took the table and rotated it 90 degrees so Tim was hanging upside down. She lined the bat up so it was touching his cheek, then pivoted herself and brought it above her shoulders. "FORE!"

"How was work honey?" Sadness said as Joy hugged her from behind. "Eh. You know. Hit and miss." Joy muttered into Sadness's hair.
