"Jooooooooooooosh," Tyler said.

"What?" His husband asked.

"There's a spider in the kitchen."

"And?"

"It's big."

"And?"

"I need you to come kill it."

"I'm at work, Tyler."

"I can't do anything until you kill it."

"Just get your shoe and whack it."

"No!"

"I can't come home, baby."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"No, Tyler."

"I'll kiss you."

"I've got a meeting in just a couple minutes, honey. I'm telling you, I can't. It's probably gone by now anyway."

"Josh," Tyler whined.

"I gotta go. See you when I get home, ok?"

"What?! No!"

And with that, Josh hung up.

Tyler immediately ran to the bathroom, locking himself in there and covering the crack at the bottom of the door with a towel so the spider couldn't get in.

Four hours later, Josh arrived home.

"Tyler?" He called throughout the house. He had to be home; his car was still in the garage.

He noticed the bathroom door was closed, and it was normally open, so he tried to open it, but it was locked.

"Ty?" He called.

"Josh!" Tyler exclaimed, getting up and swinging the door open, throwing himself into Josh's arms.

"Hey, baby," he said, hugging the boy in his arms back.

"Did you kill it??"

"Kill what?"

"The spider!"

"No. I didn't see one."

"Go kill it!"

"I was thinking we'd maybe have some fun," Josh said, his lips making their way to Tyler's neck.

"No! Nuh-uh! No way!" Tyler exclaimed. "Not after you refused to come home!"

"I had a meeting!" Josh said.

"Still," Tyler pouted, crossing his arms.

"So now I'm trying to make it up with some kissies," Josh said. "So c'mere and lemme make out with you."

"No," Tyler said. "You don't get to make out with me."

"But you're my husband," Josh pouted. "Who else am I supposed to make out with?!"

"Your pillow."

"Well I don't have an undying, everlasting love for my pillow," Josh said.

Tyler couldn't help it. Every time Josh said something like that it made him feel all warm inside and he just had to give in.

"Okfinewecanmakeout," he mumbled.

Josh grinned widely, picking his husband up and carrying him to their room, setting him down on the bed.

"After you kill the spider," Tyler said.

Josh groaned but did as the deal said, grabbing his shoe and going to the kitchen to kill the spider.

"Babe," he said as he came back. "It was tiny."

"It was a monster!"

"It was teeny tiny," Josh said. "And harmless."

"Shut up and come make out with me."
