Author's Notes:
Warning: implied sexy times. ;) The font for Kurt's friend was supposed to be blue, but I guess that only works on Livejournal. I'm sorry if it's a bit hard to read. I'm adding his name for now, it's the only solution I can think of.
Wed 28 Jan (5:37pm)
What?! About *what,* Blaine?
(5:39)
Well, I turned 21.
(5:39)
When??????
(5:40)
About two weeks ago...?
(5:40)
And you didn't tell me?!
(5:41)
...
(5:41)
Wait.
(5:42)
Fuck.
(5:43)
When, *exactly*?
(5:44)
Oh, look. You do know how to swear via text.
(5:45)
Blaine, stop. When?
(5:45)
It's not a big deal.
(5:46)
When??
(5:50)
Blaine, come on.
(5:51)
Fine. January 10.
(5:54)
Oh god.
(5:55)
That was when... And I... shit.
(5:57)
I ruined your birthday.
(5:59)
It's in the past.
(6:00pm)
Are you going to tell me that it's not my fault next?
(6:00)
You didn't know.
(6:01)
I mean, what would you have done differently if you'd known?
(6:02)
Let's move on.
(6:03)
No.
(6:03)
No?
(6:03)
No.
(6:04)
Do you have a DeLorean?
(6:04)
What??
(6:05)
You can't go back in time, can you?
(6:06)
It's okay.
(6:06)
Shit...
(6:07)
What?
(6:09)
You're so used to being let down, aren't you? You're so used to it, it doesn't even surprise you anymore. And now I let you down when I told you to trust me and why don't you hate me yet?! You should hate me. But you're just moving on like nothing happened and you're so *nice* about it. Why are you so nice?
(6:10)
You're rambling.
(6:11)
Blaine.
(6:11)
Do you want me to be angry? Do you want me to hate you?
(6:12)
No.
(6:12)
But maybe that's what you should do.
(6:13)
Oh, shut up.
(6:13)
...
(6:14)
It's okay. Let's not talk about it. I'm over it.
(6:16)
Okay?
(6:16)
Fine. But you can't stop me from trying to make it up to you.
(6:17)
Seriously, Kurt, just let it go.
(6:17)
No.
(6:18)
Stubborn much?
(6:18)
Determined.
(6:20)
And I'm still telling you to let it go.
(6:21)
And I'm still telling you that I don't care.
(6:30)
You know, after what you did, you'd think you'd be nicer. ;)
(6:30)
Oh god, 'after what I did'?!
(6:31)
I'm kidding.
(6:31)
This is not funny. I'm a horrible person.
(6:32)
Do you want me to make you feel better now?
(6:33)
No. God no. I'll just shut up. For now.
(6:33)
Okay.
(6:34)
You really don't have to do anything.
(6:34)
I mean it.
(6:35)
It's fine.
(6:39)
You're actually shutting up, huh?
(6:42)
Okay. Anderson out.
(6:43)
Dork.
(6:55)
Aaand you're ignoring me now.
(6:57)
That's fine. I deserve it.
(6:58)
;)

Thurs 29 Jan (10:12am)
Okay, I need to check some things with you.
(10:15)
...Yes?
(10:16)
You mentioned kids. On Christmas.
(10:16)
I... did.
(10:17)
Where is this going?
(10:18)
How old are they?
(10:19)
6 and 9. Honestly, where are you going with this?!
(10:19)
Shhhh.
(10:20)
Perfect.
(10:21)
Do they live in the city?
(10:21)
Yes.
(10:21)
Now tell me.
(10:22)
Patience.
(10:23)
And what's the deal there? Do you know them well?
(10:24)
They're my best friend's brother and sister.
(10:24)
They're like family. No, not *like* family. They are family. And I'm Uncle Blaine. (Don't laugh.)
(10:25)
Now tell me.
(10:26)
It's getting creepy.
(10:26)
Not creepy at all.
(10:27)
Also, excellent. It's like I planned this.
(10:28)
Planned what?!
(10:30)
Kurt.
(10:30)
Now tell me all of you are free tomorrow evening/night and Saturday morning.
(10:31)
Creepy.
(10:31)
Nope. I swear, you'll die!
(10:32)
...
(10:33)
Okay, that was a bad choice of words.
(10:33)
You think?!
(10:34)
I'd have to check with them, but what would I even say?
(10:34)
Tell them it's the chance of a lifetime!
(10:35)
Not enough.
(10:36)
Tell them it's the best present ever and they get to share it with you!
(10:36)
Not enough.
(10:37)
And I told you, you don't have to do this.
(10:39)
But I didn't even have to think of it - *it* came to *me*. It's fate! And if you don't say yes within the next couple of hours, it'll go to someone else.
(10:39)
I thought we were done with mystery?
(10:40)
Not when it involves surprises. Awesome surprises.
(10:42)
Okay, look. Let me make this less creepy for you.
(10:42)
You know that I know someone at the AMNH.
(10:43)
Yesss.
(10:43)
Good, I've got your attention now.
(10:44)
You always had my attention. That was never the problem.
(10:45)
...Good.
(10:45)
So. Did you know that they have sleepovers there each year?
(10:46)
...Why am I asking? You didn't even know about Ocean Hall.
(10:46)
And you're living in the Upper West Side, so how come you've never been to the museum before? You're strange. Very strange indeed.
(10:47)
Is this supposed to make me feel better about myself or...?
(10:48)
Wait. Sleepovers?
(10:50)
Yes, sleepovers. And they're always sold out pretty fast, but there was a group of 20 kids coming in and they just canceled.
(10:51)
You can have one of those spots. For free. If you want to. You better say yes. Like I said, chance of a lifetime.
(10:52)
Where does one even sleep in a museum?!
(10:54)
Yes, where? Where could that be, Blaine? Which room would fit 100 people in sleeping bags?
(10:54)
No.
(10:55)
Oh... oh no. Don't tell me...
(10:56)
Oh yes.
(10:56)
No.
(10:57)
Yes.
(10:58)
!!!!!!!!!
(10:58)
I told you. Not creepy at all.
(11:30)
Just so you know, I did a background check on this before I called them.
(11:32)
That's very responsible of you.
(11:33)
What did they say?
(11:34)
We're in.
(11:35)
Yes!!! Good.
(11:36)
So you should be there around 6pm. The museum closes at 8. They won't let you in after that, not even you.
(11:37)
I feel like a VIP.
(11:38)
Thank you. The kids are super excited.
(11:39)
Good. And you?
(11:39)
Oh... well. It's okay, I guess. There are worse ways to spend a Friday night.
(11:39)
Ha.
(11:40)
:P
(11:41)
You really enjoy teasing me, don't you?
(11:41)
Maybe?
(11:42)
That's okay. For now.
(11:42)
So generous. ;)

Fri 30 Jan (10:55pm)
Hey Kurt, do you think your friend would agree to work for us?
(10:59)
...What?
(10:59)
He's the perfect entertainment.
(11:00)
Excuse me?!
(11:01)
He sang with the kids.
(11:01)
He what?
(11:02)
Yeah, it's unheard of. I have no idea how it started, but in the end almost everyone joined in, even the parents. I bet they thought it was part of the program.
(11:03)
Okay... huh.
(11:04)
Now I'm actually sad that I missed that.
(11:05)
I can send you the little snippet I recorded.
(11:06)
[Link to audio on SoundCloud]
(11:12)
Oh my god...
(11:12)
Guitar?!
(11:13)
Yup. I think he stole it from someone there.
(11:14)
Wow. Now I'm *really* sad that I missed it.
(11:14)
Right?! I wasn't kidding when I said that he should work for us.
(11:20)
Is he gay?
(11:22)
...Yes.
(11:22)
I thought you said that your gaydar is the best in the country.
(11:23)
Yeah, well. I didn't really talk to him.
(11:24)
Plus, I'm working. Can't get sidetracked too much.
(11:26)
So, is he taken?
(11:26)
???
(11:27)
Would it be weird if I asked him out on a date?
(11:29)
I... Aren't you with that Spanish guy anymore?
(11:29)
No, we broke up a month ago. We should talk more, Kurt. ;)
(11:30)
Apparently...
(11:30)
So?
(11:32)
Yes, he's single. As far as I know, I mean. I didn't even know you were single, so...
(11:32)
Awesome, okay.
(11:35)
Can you just not... you know.
(11:35)
Not what?
(11:36)
Pull one of your stunts? He's not the kind of guy for one night only.
(11:37)
Who says that's who I am?
(11:37)
I know you. I've seen you do your thing.
(11:38)
You make me sound like a floozy.
(11:38)
I'm sorry, that's not what I meant.
(11:39)
I know. It's okay.
(11:42)
He's awfully tempting though. Mmmh.
(11:42)
He charmed 150 people in 10 seconds, that's something.
(11:43)
Alex.
(11:44)
Relax, I'll treat him like a gentleman. Plus, I think he's old enough to make his own decisions.
(11:45)
If I hear one bad word...
(11:45)
Fine. Noted.
(11:46)
You used to be more fun, Hummel. :P
******
Sat 31 Jan (6:23am)
Best night ever.
(6:24)
What a great bunch of kids, too!
(6:55)
Oh god, why are you up?
(6:56)
Because I forgot to bring earplugs. That was a mistake. Apart from that – best night ever.
(6:56)
Did you sleep at all?
(6:57)
Yeah, for a couple of hours. But I also looked up at the ceiling a lot. Like you said, it was a chance of a lifetime.
(6:59)
Thank you, Kurt.
(6:59)
I'm glad you liked it.
(7:02)
And I heard that you worked for your right to be there. I was impressed.
(7:03)
You and your spies. It's almost adorable how consistent you are.
(7:04)
Not a spy!
(7:04)
A spy would never reveal himself, right?
(7:05)
True.
(8:55am)
And a spy never hands out his phone number, I'd say.
(8:59)
Actually, I've never met any spies, so I wouldn't know. Maybe that's their thing; sneaking up on sleep-mussed, unsuspecting guys and handing out phone numbers to gain their trust.
(9:04)
Don't be silly.
(9:04)
Are you jealous?
(9:04)
What??? No!!
(9:05)
Really? You told me that Ocean Hall was one of your favorite places in NYC and I got to sleep there. I'd be envious.
(9:06)
You think you're so clever.
(9:07)
Why, Kurt, not at all. I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
(9:07)
:P
(9:08)
Shut up.
(9:09)
Mmmh. Always such a morning person.
(9:10)
I think you didn't sleep enough last night.
(9:10)
That is definitely true. I had better things to do.
(9:11)
You should get some coffee.
(9:11)
Yes, sir.
~~~
(2:03pm)
I think someone's mad at me.
(2:05)
I'm not mad.
(2:06)
Is everything about you? ;)
(2:10)
It's Mr Sourpants here.
(2:12)
He's doing the “you left me all alone for one night, you horrible human being, now look at my sad eyes all day and deal with it” thing.
(2:13)
Oh, *that* thing.
(2:14)
I'm constantly going back and forth between heartbreak and denial.
(2:15)
Can't you bribe him with Central Park?
(2:15)
No, he didn't feel like it. Sad eyes all day. *All day.* There's only so much I can take.
(2:17)
Oh, this reminds me.
(2:17)
I'd like you to meet someone.
(2:18)
Okay...?
(2:22)
Say hello to James Benroy the 3rd.
(2:24)
Ahhhhhh!
(2:24)
He's so FLUFFY!!!
(2:26)
Are you kidding with the name?
(2:26)
No. How dare you?
(2:27)
Whoa, okay. Just asking.
(2:28)
Just messing.
(2:28)
I get the James – but Benroy?!
(2:29)
Means 'Son of a Lion.'
(2:29)
Ohhhh, okay, that does make sense.
(2:29)
That's adorable.
(2:30)
Thank you.
(2:42)
I'm telling Ethan tonight. About... this.
(2:44)
Oh.
(2:45)
From fluffy pets to reality in a heartbeat...
(2:47)
You're really going through with it, huh?
(2:48)
Fluffy pets are very real.
(2:48)
But yes, I am.
(2:50)
That's... I'm happy for you.
(2:51)
?
(2:52)
Your relationship seems to be solid. You're not scared.
(2:54)
So you probably don't need me to wish you good luck.
(2:55)
I could always use some luck. And you're allowed to say it.

Sun 1 Feb (8:55am)
Incoming Call
“What are you doing?!”
“Good morning to you too, honey!”
“...What can I do for you at this hour?”
“Why are we whispering?”
“Well, unlike some of us, Ethan is still asleep.”
“Busy night? Wait... am I on speakerphone?”
“...What do you want, Rachel?”
“I just want to know how it went.”
“Hold on for a second... Shhhh no, go back to sleep. I'll be right back... Okay. What did you say?”
“How did it go?”
“Good... I think. I mean, he wanted me to stay, so that's something.”
“He marked his territory, huh?”
“Oh my god, stop it!”
“What?! It's true.”
“Is this going somewhere?”
“Sorry. All I wanted to know is if you're okay.”
“Yes. We talked about it. He didn't like it, but there was no fighting. It's going to be fine.”
“Okay. But I want more details once you get home lat- ...Kurt?”
“No, it's Rache- ...Ah! I think... I gotta go. Bye!”
“Kurt?!”
(9:02am)
Like I said. Marking his territory.
~~~
From Alex (12:04pm)
Maybe *you* should've warned *me* about Blaine. Just saying.
(12:10)
Excuse me?!
(12:11)
'Not the guy for one night' my ass.
(12:13)
...
(12:13)
That's not... He wouldn't. No.
(12:14)
Are you sure?
(12:16)
Am I sure? Am I sure that we went out for drinks and ended up at my place? Yes. Am I sure that he then screwed my brains out all night and left in the morning without a word or even a note? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. ;)
(12:18)
…
(12:18)
Do you always have to be so crude?
(12:19)
Sorryyyyy.
(12:20)
And I'm not mad at you, if that's what you're worried about. It was great. I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now, anyway.
(12:21)
Maybe I should thank you.
(12:21)
Yes, I should thank you.
(12:22)
You're impossible.
(12:23)
I'm also very well rested, if you know what I mean.
(12:25)
...Shut up.
(12:26)
;)

(1:23pm)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my gosh this just gets better and better. Poor Blaine. Poor Kurt. POOR EVERYONE OH MY GOD JUST ADMIT YOU'RE IN LOVE
You always update while I'm at work and it's breaking the rules to use the comptuer for personal time, but your fic is worth it. I got confused during the Alex part because I thought it was Blaine. I had to go back and reread it and then it made more sense.You like horrible cliffhangers, don't you? :)
Oh, Boy! So much happening in this chapter! Can't wait for you next update - this story is so, so addictive! :)
Reading this in school because I can veiw this website here! But wow, holy hell. I just died. Thank you. Because Blaine "screwed my brains out all night" and now I just want Kurt to be thinking about nothing but that and grrr!!
Yes, they did. ;)
did Kurt and ethan make love is that what you mean by mark his territory? and lol why Blaine I didn't think he was a one night stand type of guy either
OMG that was amazing and just an idea of how to do Kurt's friend you could do bold and italic/bold and underlined/ italic and underlined when are you going to update i need it more than air Toastie xx
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?
A fictional story shouldn't do what this one does to my heart!
Oh hell yes! What was Blainers thinking??
...I love this.
Why would you end on such a cliffhanger?! I know I'm not the only one asking this either. This story, like everyone else tells you, is amazing. Hands down. Cannot wait for chapter 16!
.... Oh my god! How drunk was he?! And... GAH! I don't wanna dislike Ethan, I really don't. I'm sure he's a great guy. But he'll never be Blaine. And Kurt will never be truly happy unless he's with Blaine. Because Klaine is endgame. And that's just the way it is. Great chapter by the way. What am I saying? There's never a bad chapter. I love this story. :)
I love this! It's great, but I want/need moooorrrreeee
it just keeps getting better! love this fic
:)
I don't suppose that this Alex person will give our boy Kurt any details will he? And side note: you're just adding more and more things to my bucket list!
Okay, Alex? Worst name you could have ever used, due to my current situation. WORST. NAME. EVER. Aside from that, thought? This was completely and utterly perfect, and... Okay. You're just going to have to go with me here on this one because I'm just WEIRD, but... the listening of "Red Solo Cup' by Glee literally MADE this thing for me. Ugh, I loved it all over. Great work.
This was amazing. It took me two days to read it because my heart couldn't take Blaine being a one nighter kind of guy. And I'm not sure how I feel about Ethan. But I know one thing. I NEED MORE. Amazing.
what do you want? My first born? My soul? I'll give you anything, just so you'll keep going.
OMG PLEASEpllleaasse!!!! UPDATE! I'm dying here
Can't wait don't no what's going on ... Sleepover wow never knew about this ...
Do you already know when the next chapter will be up?
okay so first thing out of my mouth was "why the heck isn't there more?" sooo *points dagger eyes at iknowitainteasy* I would verrry much appreciate an update.... like tomorrow...
Your story is amazing and wonderful and I love it. But you can't leave off on a cliff hanger like that and then not update for a million years!!
Blaine is not a floozy/slut. Come on.
Is Blaine a floozy or was he channeling his lust for Kurt with Alex? Guess that would make Blaine a slut. At least he regrets it....
Your KLAINE fanfic "Little Numbers" is famous! My teenage daughter is visiting me this weekend and last night she said "Mom, my favorite song has a note on YouTube about it being used in a KLAINE story!" I asked her which song and she said "Little Numbers"! We're listening to the song now and I showed her your story on Scarves and Coffee. Update soon!
:D That's adorable!

THAT'S AMAZING <3 I TOTALLY LOVE IT ...But do you know when you're gonna update next chapters ?!?!?!?!?!?!? I can't wait :D

Good chapter. But please know, it is physically painful for me when I read about Kurt and Blaine with other people like this. Just so you know, I am now haunted by Blaine screwing Alex's brains out. No no no no please no. Please save me by posting another chapter! A healing chapter! :) In all seriousness, great story, you have me hooked!
Please update!
Could you AT LEAST tell us when you're going to post a new chapter? Please. Because I keep checking everyx two hours or so and I feel like I'm going crazy right now ...
Now. ;)
Iam new to here and am enjoying this story immensely. I heard about from somewhere else. Sorry about the 5 last chapter, I meant to give you an 8. I also love all the pictures. It makes what I am reading come to life. I adore Bradshaw.
omg i don't believe Blaine did it, i think the guy is making it up i hope. i should be doing something else but i can not stop reading, it's that good.
that museam is soooo freaking cool looking. i just wanted to let you know that this story is absolutely amazing! and i am so glad that i am almost finished witth it. i love it, and this was a genius iidea! and youre a great writer!
wow.is it still standing from hurriccane sandy?who is alex btw?
