Blair was in the best mood. He knew that Jim was home making dinner and Blair didn't have to cook that night. Yay. I get tired of doing it most of the time. When he walked up to the door, he heard Jim singing. Blair loved when Jim sang while he was doing something because Jim would then really let himself go. But what was he singing? Oh God no, not this song.

Miracle of miracles
Look what the night dragged in
It's a pocket full of misery
And trouble on the wind
You spoiled the best years of your life
You took them all in vain
Now you think that you're forgiven
But you can't be born again

Blair hated this song, it always made him tear up and to have Jim singing it made it even harder to hear.

And you say
Why?
You say why?
You say why?
Don't ask me why
I don't love you anymore
I don't think I ever did
And if you ever had any kind of love for me
You kept it all so well hid

A lone tear rolled down Blair's face as he listened to his lover singing this horrible song. No, it wasn't horrible except when Jim sang it. It struck too close to home.

Promises sweet promises
You kept them from your mind
Like all the lost forgotten things
You never seemed to find
Like all the disappointments
You displayed upon your shelf
Now you've got no one to turn to
You've got no one but yourself
And you say
Why?

Blair sat down on the steps in the building, outside their door and tried to calm himself and get his act together. He didn't want Jim to know what a wuss he was when it came to certain songs. It's not like Jim was singing this on purpose. Was he? Oh good, now I'm doubting myself because Jim is singing a song.

Jim suddenly stopped singing and the door opened up. Jim saw Blair sitting on the stairs and said, "Chief, what's wrong?" Jim then walked over and sat down beside Blair on the steps.

"Promise you won't laugh?" Blair asked.

"I promise, now talk to me," Jim replied.

"It was the song you were singing. I heard you out in the hallway and that's one of the sadder songs on the CD. I lost control of my emotions all together. You don't ever feel this way do you, Jim?"

"I love you so much, Blair and I'm even going to sing the next song for you to cheer you up.

I don't care if you won't talk to me, you know I'm not that kind of guy
And I don't care if you won't walk with me, it don't give me such a cry
And I don't care about the way you look, you should know I'm not impressed
'Cause there's just one thing that I'm looking for and he don't wear a dress
I need a man, I need a man, I need a man, I need a man

Blair took his face out of his hands and looked at Jim wearing a big smile. "Now, this one I can totally get in to."

Baby, baby, baby don't you shave your legs, don't you double comb your hair
Don't powder puff, just leave it rough, I like your fingers bare
When the night comes down, I can turn it 'round, I can take you anywhere
I don't need love, forget that stuff, you know that I don't care
I need a man, I need a man, I need a man, I need a man

Blair started to laugh and moved into Jim's personal space. Jim was a great singer and Blair liked this song, so much better.

I don't need a heartbreaker
Fifty-faced trouble maker
Two timing time taker
Dirty little money maker
Muscle bound cheap skate
Low down woman hater
Triple crossing double dater
Yella bellied alligator

Jim was having a hard time keeping a straight face as he sung this song. Blair was now in Jim's arms and they began to kiss and once Jim pulled away he finished the last of the song.

I need a man (Leave me alone)
I need a man (Don't take me home)
I need a man (Baby, you're just overblown)
Hey boy, c'mon, I take you anytime
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

"I love you so much, Jim."

"I know you do, Blair and I'll try to only sing good songs from now on. I adore you and would never say, ‘don't ask me why'."

"What do you think about going inside and making love?" Blair asked.

"Sounds perfect to me, Blair. Just like you." Jim said as he pulled his lover into the loft and shut and locked the door.

No one would be asking why about anything.
