So I made this observation on Twitter today:
There’s no good way to mash Justin and Eli together to make a ‘ship name. #JustBusiness

And Jenn Burke replied:
@amergina Jelli!

Now, certain characters ride pretty close to the surface of my brain. Eli is one of those who has a habit of chattering at me. So I read that and:
“No.” Eli pushed back from his laptop. “Absolutely not.”
Justin leaned over and peered at the screen. “I don’t know, I think it’s kind of cute.”
“It’s a type of donut.” He tipped his head back to look Justin in the eyes. “I am not okay with us being a type of donut.”
“What about a Jelli sandwich?”
“No.”
“Jelli candy?”
“What, like a Gummi bear? No!” Eli paused. “So help me, if you say Jelli shoe, I’ll turn you over my knee.”
“Oh, like that’s a threat that’ll stop me…” Justin’s smile was wicked and wide.
“The things I put up with from you…”
Justin leaned down, his breath hot against Eli’s ear. “Jelli shoooooe.”
