10 Reasons to be Thankful
by
Arthur Pendragon, CEO
Pendragon Industries
1. You always laugh at my jokes even when Morgana and Gwen are literally trying to pay me to stop making them.
2. You are consistent, not just in your idiocy, but in your loyalty to my business, to me, and to the employees working here. Every day, without fail, you come to work with a red or blue tie over a red or blue shirt with black slacks and black shoes. Every day, without fail, you reply to my five a.m. text messages with a vomit face. And every day, without fail, you stay here with me until midnight to make sure that all of my work is done and I can have my weekend off too.
3. I know that the graffiti in the bathroom is you but I don't care because I kind of like how ridiculous it is that you're putting our initials inside of different geometric shapes but never a heart. Honestly, just draw the heart and be done with it, but also know that I really love it and can't wait for someone to ask what the hell it means.
4. You know what I eat for breakfast everyday and you know that I'm always hungry again by ten. Instead of telling me to stop whining about being hungry, you have a snack drawer for me at your desk that probably should be filled with something more important. But high key, I really prefer that you have that snack drawer.
5. Last winter, you helped me break-up with Gwen because something was missing. I couldn't see it but I could feel it. You didn't do anything to help me realize it but when I did piece it together, you helped make sure that I didn't lose her as a friend (or as the amazing human resource manager known to mankind). Really, you think you're just a hermit in the making but you are brilliant. Sometimes I think you could do Morgana's job even better than she does it already.
6. That I only have three more to write after this because this is way too emotional for me.
7. Honestly, you. I really just like you as a person, as a friend, and definitely as more than that but I never really know if we're ready for that 'as more' part. We still awkwardly joke about things all the time and I feel like we are boyfriends but I'm scared to ask and you are too, so we're just in this weird limbo. But I don't care because I'm sharing it with you and that's pretty great.
8. I am pretty sure you're going to have at least one comment about how I look and it's probably going to be suggestive in some way. As such, I feel like I should tell you that I definitely knock things off the table because I appreciate your arse in an unhealthy way. Anything that request bending or squatting, you should probably just assume I've done it on purpose so I can idly admire you from a different angle.
9. I like your eyes. In one of those cheesy romantic movie ways, I can get lost in them when we're working. I have to be careful not to look directly at you if I'm working on something important because I'll forget what I'm doing and just talk to you for hours about nothing.
10. You are taking your vacation at the same time as me this year and while this is somehow the first time this is happening, I'm pretty sure that it's on purpose. So I'm thankful for the memories that will come in the last week of December and the first week of the new year… Because I feel like everything is going to get a whole lot better…
A/N: This isn't my usual style but this sort of presentation is alluring in a way. You'll have to let me know if it was successful or not!
