Author's Notes: The key for this chapterThis is Eli

November 1

 

Kurt.

Yes?

Hi.

[silence]

Kurt.

Sorry, was predisposed for a moment

Predisposed. Ha.

Kurt.  It's cold outside.

So I like using big words

Indeed it is

Kurt.

What are you doing?

Uh, complaining very loudly to the wall

Why? What's wrong?

Nothing, really.  I just can't find something

Oh.  Well, that's not very interesting.

I lost a bow tie the other day.

Found it then.

The horror, losing a bowtie

Hey!  It was my favorite one.

It's red and black with stripes.

I am amused by the fact that you have more than one bow tie

Why does everyone think bow ties are stupid?

I don't think they're stupid

I'm just amused

Bow ties are part of my every day attire.

Really now?

Yes.

Interesting

Oh, I'm sure.  That's what makes me interesting.  Not the fact that I'm still texting some random guy, that I only know from sending a mistake text, while I'm out at the bar.

You're at a bar right now?

Yes.

You're not drunk are you?

There are many levels of drunk.

Have you consumed alcohol tonight?

Oui.

Have you consumed enough to make you tipsy?

Mmm.  perhaps.  But tipsy is in the eye of the beholder.

Please tell me you have a designated driver

I don't drive.  Silly Grasshopper.

Well, I mean, I can drive.  But who drives in the city?

true

You died again

or you're just having too much fun

Kurt.  I just sang at Callbacks.

You did?

Yes.

I' there, but my roommate was.  I won't ask her anything about you though

I'm not* but my roommate is*

Sure you wont.  Since you're not asking, I didn't sing Silly Love Songs.

Oh not really now?

:P

Not really. Exactly.

I promise I won't ask her anything

but I can't stop her from saying anything on her own

I may hear about it if you were good

What's she wearing?  I could go find her.

I got home after she left

I could have her paged.  How embarrassing would that be?

You don't know her name

You don't, right?

Oh god that would be embarrassing

Grasshopper.

You mis-texted me other day.

ohgodohgodohgod

please don't

Ha.  I wouldn't.

Good

Kurt.

I don't want to walk home.

Get a taxi?

lol, it's not that far.

I'm just feeling lazy

And warm.

You are a goof, you know that?

Okay, and I'm slightly tipsy.

oh god now I'm worrying that you'll do something stupid

Stupid like what?

Like mistakenly try to donate money to a grasshopper?

Ha ha

Very funny

[/sarcasm]

It's cold outside.

Winter is Coming

Winter.

Snow.

I love snow.

We've had this discussion, I think

Yes.

I still don't understand why you don't like snow.

It's so cold and wet and eugh

It's beautiful!

I get blinded by snow

well, not in the city, since it's usually all dirty and such

Have you ever been camping?

No

Never?

Maybe a bit when I was younger

but not really

I'm not really the outdoorsy type

Noted.

How about snowball fights?

Once

Never again

Snow angels?

Once

Kissing in the falling snow?

No

How is that possible?  I thought you had the most wonderful boyfriend in the world?

Sorry...

That wasn't appropriate.

It really wasn't

my bf knows that I don't like snow

but we've kissed in the rain (unsent)

For that he really is the most wonderful boyfriend in the world

Point taken.  I apologize.

It's alright, you're forgiven

[20 minutes of silence]

Blaaaaaaaaaine

...yeah?

you died again

a llittle.

?

This bar.is.great.

really?

Yea.h the bartender liked my bowtie.

Free drink

Nice :D

Kurt.

Yes?

I'm sorry.

For what?

Being a jerk

When were you a jerk?

When I insulted your boyfriend

Kurt

Do you hate me?

I forgave you for that    

and no, I don't hate you    

why are you coming out with this stuff?

What? I was just checkign.

how much have you had to drink?

Some.

How many drinks? Give me a number

7? And a shot.

Make it 2

...

Nice dots.

You're drunk now, aren't you

Drunk is in.the.eye.of the.beholder.

Right    

Okay

Grasshopper doesn't want to tlak to President Blaine now.

[no response for quite some time]

Grasshopper.

[still no response]

Kurt.    

Kurt?    

Well, alright.

[silence]

[a long time later, leaning toward the AM side of the night]

How many drinks have you had now?

I haven't had any since that last shot.

I see

Actually, I've been sitting outside of my apartment on the steps for a while.

Oh?

Yeah

Why?

Reasons.

You okay?    

You're not mad at me, are you?

Hard to be mad at someone you don't know.

That is true

[silence]

[also silent]

[more silence]    

You know, maybe we shouldn't text anymore (unsent)

What happened tonight?  Between us, I mean (unsent)

As much as this is going to sound weird, because we hardly know each other, I wish you were here. (unsent)

Are we... okay?  This sounds so weird, we don't even know each other (unsent)

[2AM]

Don't text me unless you're sober     

You're still awake?

Roommate forgot her key tonight and she isn't back yet

please don't text me until you're sober

You hate me, don't you? (unsent)

I haven't had a drink in three hours, and I've been sitting on the steps outside of my apartment for two and a half.      

I think I'm alright.  

 

(Eli.

Blaine.

How are you?

Blaine, do we really have to do this?

Do what? I was just curious as to how you were.)

 

Unless you just don't want to talk to me. (unsent)

Okay    

Touchy subject    

sorry

Not going to ask.

I appreciate that

It's just...I miss you.  A lot.  I mean, I can't get you out of my head.    

Ohgod.    

That wasn't for you.

 

(It’s just…I miss you.  A lot.  I mean, I can’t get you out of my head.

Blaine, it’s over, when are you going to realize this?  It’s been over for longer than it’s been officially over.  When are you gonna get it?

You can’t just say that it’s over.

Yes I can.  It’s over.  Leave me alone.)

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one, then    

The only one who mistexts, that is

Yeah.  Yours weren't nearly as... embarrassing though.

You have a point.  But it's alright, at least I didn't freak out or something    

True.    

Though, really, what would your reaction have been if that were meant for you, and not just some pathetic attempt for me to get back with my ex?

Uh... I probably would have freaked out and called you a stalker

Oh, I'm the stalker?  You're the one who's *not* asking his roommate about anyone wearing a bowtie and singing Silly Love Songs at Callbacks tonight.    

I'm kidding.

Good thing you're kidding    

because I'm honestly not asking her

Okay, okay.  I'm just trying to kill the awkward.    

Unsuccessfully.

No, it's alright

Well, this is going to be hard to recover from.

Just a tad    

Maybe we should just stop for the night

take a day or two off from each other.  This can't be healthy for either of us

You're right.

So... yeah

I thought we were taking a break?

We are.  I think.  I was just... wrapping up everything

Oh. Okay?

I guess I'll talk to you in a couple of days

Are you sure you want to stop talking? (unsent)

Okay.

I don't think I can last very long without texting you (unsent)

Take care, and stuff.

Please don't forget about me in the meantime. (unsent)

You too
