If you couldn't be you And I couldn't be me I like to imagine which pair Of animals we'd be

Bears might be ideal We could swim in the summer And sleep in the winter And eat fish all day And for treats we'd have honey But honey comes with bees And I know you're allergic So let's reconsider this whole bear thing

Dolphins would be nice Smart, cheerful dolphins We'd play all day And barely sleep Except I'm afraid of the ocean So dolphins won't work either

I know! What about sloths? We'd be lazy and slow And have a jolly time Except sometimes sloths Can mistake their arm for a branch And plummet to their death And that's morbid In fact, let's forget I even said anything

Well, what about cats? They stay up all night And sleep by the fire Being a pair of cats would be good Except that cats eat mice And mouse isn't very appetizing It actually sounds quite yucky

Lizards are an option We could be scaly and dry And do push-ups to stay cool But lizards are food for birds And I know you are afraid of heights And I don't like to be eaten So that option is out

(I won't even suggest being sparrows)

Well, what about bacteria? Bacteria may be good We could live in colonies With lots of other bacteria But then we'd never be left alone And they would visit with their relatives And expect dinner So that one is a no

Well, I give up. I think it's best When you are you And I am me Because you are far more pleasant To spend time with Than a bear Because you love me And I love you Maybe that's why God made us two

What’s On Your List Today?

This is for the prompt “we’re cashiers working the late shift at a grocery store, and a hot customer comes through my line. i ask them the required, “did you find everything you were looking for?” except it comes out so suggestively, i’m blushing and you’re trying not to laugh in front of the customers, please stop” au, which @jeeno2 sent across my dash earlier this week. It is both a uni au and a store au, which makes it a prompt fill for @doctorroseprompts. And given that the whole prompt is about awkwardly offering someone help, and Jack tries to help James out, I think this fills “helping hand” from @legendslikestardust. (I like that prompt a lot, apparently.)

The title is the slogan of a local grocery chain.

“I can shut up if I’m boring you.”

James blinked and looked at his best friend. Jack was leaning against his cash register with his arms crossed over his chest and a smirk on his face, and James realised he must have been telling a story.

“Sorry, Jack.” He yawned and rubbed at his eyes. “I was up late studying last night, then I had exams today and had to finish a paper, so I didn’t get a chance to sleep this afternoon.”  

Jack raised his eyebrows. “Well, I was going to ask if you wanted to hang out with us over the weekend, but it sounds like you’ll be spending it all in bed—and not in the fun way.”

Before James could reply, their attention was diverted by the sound of the door opening. James felt his heart thud painfully in his chest when Rose Tyler walked in.

The art student had moved into his building at the start of the year, and he’d been smitten immediately. And not just because she was gorgeous, with her blonde hair and a cheeky smile that tormented him with glimpses of her tongue. Rose Tyler was kind and generous and warm and funny… and way out of his league.

James sighed when she disappeared down an aisle after giving them both a smile.

“You gotta talk to her tonight, James,” Jack muttered. “You’ve been pining over her for months now.”

“I… that’s… I have not been pining.” James felt his cheeks turn pink.

Jack raised an eyebrow. “Well what would you call it then? You go to her coffee shop twice a week and sit there for an hour.”

James raked his hands through his hair. “Studying! The caffeine wakes me up, and the shop is quiet!”

“Considering you have a new story each time about how brilliant Rose is, I think I know what you’re studying.”

James groaned. “I know, I know,” he mumbled. “And I’ve tried to talk to her, but you know how I get when I’m nervous. I talk about everything except whatever I actually want to talk about.”

Jack tilted his head. “Well, you have a few minutes right now to plan it out. Think of something to say. Ask her about her art. Tell her you’d like to see her sometime other than Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at three. Just… say something.”

James pressed his tongue to the back of his teeth. Chatting up girls has never been his strength. Just talking to a girl he liked was a disaster, more often than not. He rambled and stuttered and went off on the most ridiculous tangents, about pointless things like John Mark carrying the torch in the 1948 Olympics, or the brilliant invention of edible ball bearings.

But Jack was right. After four months, he needed to work up the nerve to actually talk to Rose, or just let his crush go.

He spent the next few minutes remembering the effortless way Jack talked to women. Somehow, he always managed to say exactly the right thing, and in a voice that just seemed to make women melt.

When Rose came back up to check out, Jack played the good wingman and immediately found something to make him look busy. James wiped his sweaty palms on his trousers when she came over to him and set her basket down on the end of the conveyor belt.

Rose smiled at him as he started scanning her purchases. “Is it always this quiet at night?”

He bobbed his head. “Oh yes. The only people who come in after ten are…” Behind Rose, Jack shook his head furiously, and James shut his mouth with a click before he could set off on a ramble. “I mean… most people are asleep,” he finished lamely.

She nodded and twisted a piece of hair around her finger. “That’s true.”

There were only three things left in her basket—tea, milk, and biscuits. James cast about frantically for something to say, anything at all.

Finally, a line from his cashier training returned to him. “So… did you find everything you were looking for today, or… did you need some help with that?”

James wanted to die as soon as the words left his mouth. It should have been a completely innocent question, but instead, he’d mixed up his customer service training with his earlier musings about Jack’s chat-up style, turning it into a horribly inappropriate attempt at seduction.

Really, James? “Or… did you need some help with that?” What were you expecting, that she’d flutter her eyelashes at you and say, “Well actually… I was looking for you.”

Even from ten feet away, James could hear Jack choke on his laughter. His face was burning up, and he just wanted to sink into the floor and never come out.

He hit the total button, but couldn’t bring himself to repeat the number out loud to Rose. Thankfully, she seemed willing to leave the store without talking to him again, because she put her card in the machine and typed in her pin without saying a word to him.

The wait for the machine to approve her purchase seemed interminable, but finally, the register dinged and printed her receipt out. James tore it off and handed it to Rose, along with her bag, all while avoiding eye contact.

When he realised she was still standing in front of him, even though she had all her things, James took a deep breath and looked up at her, an apology ready.

But Rose was smiling at him, the tip of her tongue peeking out. “Actually, there is something you could help me with.”

The studied nonchalance on her face made his heart beat faster. “Oh?” he said, not trusting his runaway mouth with more than a single syllable.

Her smile widened. “Yeah. There’s this bloke who comes into my coffee shop every Tuesday and Thursday. Gorgeous, really great hair, and always holds the door open for everyone coming in and out. I’ve been wanting to get to know him better… think you might be able to help with that?”

“Maybe?” James squeaked, then cleared his throat. “I mean, absolutely. I happen to know he’s been wanting to get to know you, too.”

Rose lit up, showing little gold flecks in her brown eyes. “Maybe we could get chips together tomorrow afternoon? One o’clock, at the chippy around the corner from our building?”

James’ cheeks hurt from smiling. “Rose Tyler, I promise you he will be there.”

She pulled out her receipt and scrawled something on the back of it, then handed it to him. “Excellent. Here’s my number, just in case.” With one more smile, and a wave over her shoulder at Jack, Rose walked out of the store.
