(9:34)
I thought we were done with the Christmas treats.

(9:44)
That's what I thought as well. But 1) Christmas isn't even over yet and 2) this is not exactly a new treat.
(9:45)
3) I do what I want.

(9:46)
But will I do what you want me to do?

(9:47)
Yes.

(9:47)
Someone's awfully confident.

(9:50)
Blaine, don't embarrass yourself. You'll go. We both know that.

(9:51)
Ignored.
(9:54)
So what is it?

(9:55)
I got you into AMNH again. For today.

(9:57)
You make it sound like New York's newest addition to the club scene.

(9:57)
Shhhh, only the cool people know about this.

(9:59)
Can I stay in Ocean Hall for the entire time?

(9:59)
Of course. In fact, I encourage it.

(10:01)
Why though?

(10:01)
Why do I encourage it?

(10:02)
No. Why are you doing this again?

(10:04)
Well, Blaine Theodore, sometimes I *do* listen to you, you know?

(10:04)
I knew telling you would be a mistake. I knew it.

(10:05)
Telling me what? :)

(10:05)
And I can't even be mad at you.

(10:06)
Told you so! Now, what are you waiting for?

(10:07)
I can't.

(10:08)
Oh. But... why? I should've told you earlier, right? I sort of came up with it this morning, sorry.

(10:08)
Oh I'll go. But right now I've got someone sleeping on me.

(10:12)
Okay.

(10:12)
But I will definitely go once he's up.

(10:15)
Okay.

(10:16)
But maybe I'm just going to wrap myself around him now and never leave this apartment. It's cold outside and he's deliciously warm.

(10:19)
Okay...

(10:21)
Kurt?

(10:22)
Yes?

(10:24)
Relax. ;)

(10:26)
I am relaxed.

(10:27)
Mhm.

(10:29)
I am.

(10:30)
Oh yeah.

(10:32)
What is wrong with you today?

(10:33)
Nothing. Nothing wrong at all.

(10:40)
Wait. Does he live with you now?

(10:41)
Kind of.

(10:43)
How come?

(10:46)
Mr Donovan said Bradshaw likes me better, but to be honest, I think he's having a hard time taking care of him all by himself. A walk every other morning isn't enough anymore. He might be 10 (Bradshaw, not my neighbor), but he doesn't really act like it.

(10:48)
Only when he chooses to collapse on you.

(10:49)
Excuse me? Are you trying to say that exhaustion is his only reason?

(10:49)
Maybe.

(10:51)
Pfffff. I'm extremely comfortable and cuddly. I'm an excellent sleeping place.

(10:51)
Well, I wouldn't know.

(10:52)
And what a shame that is.

(10:55)
Blaine.

(10:56)
Sorry, but I had to.

(10:58)
I think someone spiked your eggnog.

(10:59)
It's not even 12 yet!

(11:01)
Doesn't stop you from being... well... like this.

(11:04)
Kurt. Kurt, it's the 24th and I don't feel miserable. This is a good thing. In all seriousness now.

(11:05)
Damn, I can't be mad at you either.
(11:05)
Family is calling. Please continue to have a good time! I mean it. You and your dog. :)

(11:09)
He's not my... well, I guess he kind of is my dog now.
(11:09)
Huh.
(11:10)
Oh god, I have a dog.

(12:33)
You're thinking of that *now*??

(12:35)
I guess it hasn't sunk in yet.

(12:35)
Is it a bad or a good feeling?

(12:36)
Good.

(12:38)
Well, there you go. He's your first Christmas present.

(12:38)
In that case, I'm on my way to get my second present.

(12:39)
Which is?

(12:40)
Ocean Hall, silly!

(12:41)
Well, in *that* case – enjoy! And remember to lie down!

(12:43)
Naturally.

~~~

(2:03pm)

(2:10)
That would actually be nice right now.
(2:11)
As much as I love my family and being back for the holidays... It can be a bit much. Not in a bad way, but it's exhausting at times.

(2:12)
You could always lie down in your room for 5 minutes and pretend.
(2:13)
And you could listen to the music I'm listening to.

(2:14)
Mhhh. And what would that be?

(2:15)
Since I'm on my phone, I only have a youtube link for you, sorry.
(2:15)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL8lQU_1a-w
(2:16)
You can also pretend that I'm playing it.

(2:17)
In a museum?

(2:17)
Shhhh, just go with it.

(2:18)
Wait... you play the piano? Like that?

(2:18)
Yeah.

(2:18)
Like that??

(2:19)
Yes. ;)
(2:19)
It's sort of what I do.

(2:20)
Playing the piano?

(2:20)
Music.
(2:20)
I guess I never told you that.

(2:21)
No. No, you didn't.
(2:21)
This is nice.

(2:22)
What is?

(2:22)
Lying here.

(2:23)
Are you actually taking your 5 minutes?

(2:23)
It's 6 minutes and 32 seconds, I believe.

(2:24)
This *is* nice.

(2:24)
It was your idea.

(2:25)
Yeah, but sometimes I surprise myself.

(2:26)
I'm not surprised.

~~~

(2:36)
Can you please come over a day earlier than planned and slap me?

(2:38)
Anything for you. But why?

(2:38)
Because I feel like I'm about to do something stupid.

(2:39)
Like what? Open all your presents early?

(2:39)
No.
(2:41)
Like call Blaine.

(2:41)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(2:42)
...

(2:43)
Sorry. What I wanted to say was: what are you waiting for?

(2:43)
Rachel. Come on, you're the only one I can talk to about this.

(2:44)
And look, we're talking about it.
(2:45)
So before you call him, do you want me to tell you what he looks like first? Because I'm sure he wouldn't mind me breaking our deal for this.

(2:46)
Okay, let's forget I ever said anything.

(2:46)
Kurt.

(2:46)
Rachel.

(2:47)
Kurt.

(2:47)
Rachel.

(2:48)
Tomorrow. Tomorrow we're going to talk about this. In person. So that I can grab and shake you.

(2:48)
No. Believe it or not, this already helped.

(2:49)
So you're going to call him?

(2:49)
No.
(2:50)
I blame Christmas. Christmas makes me stupid.

(2:51)
Wrong. It makes you the exact opposite.

(2:52)
See you tomorrow, Rachel!

(2:52)
You cannot escape me.

(2:53)
Oh, I learned that the hard way.

Thurs 25 Dec (1:32am)
I need to show you something.
(1:33)
I bet you're already asleep, so I'm just gonna leave this here for you to watch in the morning.
(1:34)
Or whenever you want to.
(1:35)
Whenever, really.

(1:35)
I'm awake.

(1:36)
Oh okay. Hi.

(1:37)
Hey.
(1:37)
Show me what?

(1:39)
I told you I went to have dinner at a friend's house tonight. And I took Bradshaw. Because... well, he's kind of my dog now and that's what good dog owners do.

(1:40)
Blaine Theodore, dog owner. It suits you.

(1:41)
Why, thank you. I think.
(1:43)
So after dinner we messed around a bit and I played something for the kids. Then this happened and I guess in that moment he really became my dog. We bonded for life.

(1:50)
Blaine.

(1:50)
Yes?

(1:52)
Blaine.

(1:53)
Yes...?

(1:54)
I don't even know what to say.

(1:54)
Oh...

(1:55)
Your Bradshaw texts are slowly becoming my favorites.

(1:56)
That's good, because he's slowly becoming my favorite, too.
(1:58)
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Kurt.

(1:59)
Goodnight.

~~~

(2:01)
Rachel.
(2:02)
RACHEL.
(2:06)
Do you think it's possible to fall in love with the idea of a person?
