In case you need to be reminded: don't forget to stop by the coffee shop today!
(9:33)
Is it my turn now?
(9:35)
Yep.
(9:39)
Lunch?
(9:40)
Kind of. Define lunch.
(9:41)
Well, okay... slight change of plans.
(9:43)
Changing my mood from excited to scared.
(9:44)
It's time for you to trust *me* now.
(9:44)
Yes. That's exactly what I'm scared about.
(9:46)
This isn't a one-way street, Kurt!
(9:46)
I know.

(1:35pm)
A cupcake, Blaine? That's so...
(1:45)
Happy anniversary? :P
(1:46)
And yes, I promised you lunch and maybe what you got instead was a lousy, lopsided cupcake, but I really tried. It's made with care.
(1:48)
Wait. You made that yourself?
(1:49)
... I thought that was pretty obvious.
(1:51)
Okay, no more bashing your cupcake. It was actually delicious! Thank you.
(1:55)
Good, because I ate 5 of them and thought so, too.
(1:56)
5?
(1:58)
I had to try them!
(2:02)
Yes, but 5?
(2:04)
Just to be sure. I didn't want you to get food poisoning. You and the staff.
(2:11)
You gave them cupcakes?
(2:12)
Yes.
(2:15)
That makes me feel less special.
(2:15)
Yours was extra special! And they're your coffee people, they deserved it.
(2:17)
An extra special "lousy, lopsided cupcake"?
(2:22)
Hey! You said it was delicious!
(2:24)
It was. See the quotation marks?
(2:46)
Are you blackmailing my coffee people?
(3:01)
Not really, no. But there's nothing like baked goods to win someone over.
(3:02)
I think they're pretty fond of me now.
(3:02)
We bonded.
(3:04)
And by "we" I mean Rachel and me.
(3:04)
Girls love me.
(3:09)
Good for you.
(3:10)
I think.
(3:15)
You've trained her well. Or you threatened her. Which is much more likely.
(3:16)
We made a deal.
(3:18)
A deal?
(3:20)
She doesn't get to talk to you about me if you keep her from talking to me about you.
(3:26)
Hypothetically, if this were all true, how would you have achieved that?
(3:28)
Cupcakes, Kurt, cupcakes. Never underestimate the power of cupcakes and a charming smile.
(3:45)
Would that be your smile?
(3:47)
Maybe.
(3:48)
Actually, 100% yes.
(3:51)
Why am I providing you with free coffee, again?
(3:53)
Because I charmed my way into your life and now you can't imagine living without me?
(3:55)
Sure.
(3:56)
Why does being nice always backfire on me?
(4:02)
I have no idea what you're talking about.
~
(6:14)
What makes you think she knows something about me?
(6:33)
Please.
(6:34)
What?
(6:36)
Unicorn level of interesting, remember?
(6:55)
I bet you just had something on your face.
(6:56)
Yeah, my charming smile.
(6:59)
I don't even know what to say to that.
(7:04)
Because you've been charmed!
(7:05)
I can't see you right now, Blaine.
(7:08)
But you can feel it.
(7:11)
Sometimes I wonder how one person alone can be such a dork.
(7:14)
I'm a mystical, magical creature.

Fri 12 Dec (9:45am)
Do you like late-night walks?
(10:04)
Um... sure?
(10:11)
I need you to go for a walk in Brooklyn after 7pm. When it's dark.
(10:13)
Kurt. We talked about this. I do not have a thing for serial killers! Some people do, but I'm not one of them.
(10:15)
Do we really have to go through this again? I promise, you will like it and there will be people around. It's perfectly safe.
(10:17)
Right.
(10:20)
Have I ever let you down?
(10:21)
No.
(10:22)
Not yet.
(10:34)
Ignoring the last part.
(10:55)
Your walk takes place between 13th and 10th Ave from 82nd to 86th street.
(10:57)
That's oddly specific.
(11:00)
Of course it's specific. I don't want you to randomly walk around Brooklyn after dark. What kind of treat would that be?
(11:02)
We're calling these little missions of yours 'treats' now?
(11:03)
Yes.
(11:05)
So I want you to go there, either tonight or tomorrow. Remember, after 7pm. But definitely before 10pm.
(11:07)
And I want you to take a picture of your favorite thing and send it to me.
(11:10)
You call it a treat, I call it a suicide mission.
(11:12)
Drama queen.
(11:15)
You're awfully demanding and rude for someone who claims to be goodwilling.
(11:16)
And you don't know what's good for you.
~
(9:34pm)
Holy shit.
(9:45)
?
(9:46)
I'm sorry.
(9:46)
What for?
(9:47)
For doubting you.
(9:49)
You went and you loved it like I knew you would. Say it!
(9:51)
Say what?
(9:51)
Just say it.
(9:53)
What?
(9:53)
Blaine.
(9:55)
Okay. Okay, it was lovely. In a crazy and over the top kind of way, but I loved it.
(9:56)
I have no idea how you think of these things.
(9:57)
Do you have a book called "101 ways to make someone love Christmas"?
(10:01)
No. But I do have a book called "101 ways to make Blaine love Christmas". It came with "100 ways to make Blaine like Tuesdays". 2 for 1!
(10:04)
And still you keep saying I'm the dork.
(10:05)
Because it's the truth.
(10:08)
Whatever makes you sleep at night.
(10:12)
Oh and
(10:15)
That was your favorite?
(10:17)
Yes.
(10:18)
Why?
(10:20)
It looked like a real home.
(10:20)
They're all real homes.
(10:24)
I know, but this one didn't feel staged. It looked warm, lived in.
(10:25)
It didn't look perfect and that's what made it perfect.
(11:01)
Wrong answer?
(11:03)
No. Perfect answer.

Sat 13 Dec (4:05pm)
Can you believe all the snow?
(4:23)
Are we talking about the weather now?
(4:25)
I wanted to talk to you. I've got nothing to talk about. So this is what I talk about.
(4:27)
That's... refreshingly honest, I suppose.
(4:34)
Actually, do you ever just lie on your bed and stare at the ceiling?
(4:35)
Is that what you're doing right now?
(4:36)
Yes.
(4:36)
Are you okay?
(4:38)
Yeah, I'm just having a really lazy Saturday.
(4:41)
If you're lying on your bed, why do you even care about the snow?
(4:42)
Like I said, I just wanted to talk to you.
(4:43)
I see.
(4:44)
I'm touched.
(4:45)
But you said that you don't have anything to talk about, so what are we going to talk about?
(4:47)
You're going to tell me about your next treat.
(4:48)
That's not going to happen.
(4:48)
Kurt.
(4:49)
Never.
(4:49)
Please.
(4:52)
No.
(4:55)
Fine. I'll just keep lying here, staring at my ceiling. And I'm gonna be miserable. Do you want that? Do you want me to be miserable?
(4:59)
1) You said you were having a lazy Saturday, so don't even try to make me feel bad about this. 2) You'll just have to wait and see. I'm doing this to make you feel better and you know that. Plus, they've always been surprises and that's part of what makes them good.
(6:01)
I hate that that makes sense.

Sunday 14 Dec (10:02am)
Kurt.
(10:03)
Kurt!
(10:08)
Kurt. Are you awake?
(10:10)
Yes.
(10:11)
Now I am.
(10:12)
I made a new friend at the park today!!!
(10:14)
Blaine.
(10:14)
Blaine, honey, you are 5.
(10:17)
Do you wanna see? Do you?
(10:18)
Yes, you do.
(10:20)
Just when I wanted to be annoyed with you for waking me up and being a ridiculous puppy, when I'm still stumbling through my quest for coffee, you do something like that.
(10:22)
Something like what?
(10:24)
Like *that*.
(10:25)
I named it.
(10:27)
I'm sure you did.
(10:27)
Watson.
(10:30)
Watson. You named a squirrel Watson.
(10:31)
Yes!
(10:32)
Did you take him home with you?
(10:33)
No. He's a free spirit. Can't be tamed.
(10:36)
And what did Bradshaw have to say about this new friend? Doesn't he hunt squirrels?
(10:38)
No. He knows better than to mess with the squirrel mafia.
(10:43)
Sometimes. Sometimes I just...
(10:46)
I know, Kurt. I know. Sometimes I can't handle my adorableness either. :D
(10:48)
Not what I was going to say.
(10:49)
Please. Exactly what you were going to say.
