Kurt wonders if he should be doing something differently. As they were leaving the coffee shop, Blaine seemed to close himself off. He withdrew his hand from Kurt and shoved both of his deep into his pockets. Kurt tries to make small talk on their way to find someplace to eat, but Blaine just smiles and nods and chuckles here and there. Luckily they find a mostly empty diner a few blocks away and Kurt doesn’t have to keep up the awkward, one-sided small talk.
When they’re seated, again Kurt tries to engage Blaine, talking a little bit about the seminar he’s taking this semester, the lack of intelligence in it. Blaine smiles and nods, but still isn’t saying anything. The waitress comes to take their order and Kurt gets a cheeseburger. Blaine speaks for the first time in what seems like hours, even though it’s probably only been about 20 minutes. He looks at the waitress and then at Kurt and then back down at the table and simply says, “Um... sssssame.” They sit in silence for another minute after that and Kurt can’t really take it anymore.
“Blaine, do you want to be here? You don’t have to be here. Don’t feel like I’m making you stay. I just thought maybe we could talk, but you don’t have to be here. You don’t...” Kurt trails off, not knowing what to say really.
Blaine flicks his eyes to Kurt and then trains them on the corner of the paper placemat that he’s been folding and unfolding. He takes a breath and gestures towards his mouth, “Not rah-rah-rah-really wwwwwworking rrrr- rrrr- rah-right now.” And he smiles, ruefully, finally just ripping the corner off of the placemat, in what Kurt can see is clearly a moment of frustration.
Kurt nods. Blaine thinks about saying more, struggling to find some words that might actually be useful, that might actually tell Kurt something, that might actually make it out of his mouth. He really does want to be here, but apparently his voice has other plans.
Kurt rifles through his bag and comes up with a pen and a notebook. He scribbles a quick sentence.
Would this be better?
You don’t have to do this.
Maybe it’ll be easier for both of us.
This is humiliating.
It’s ok. I really don’t mind. I’m just worried about something.
You’re worried? About what?
I’m worried that you don’t trust me enough. To talk to me, to speak. Like you think that I’m going to laugh or whatever, like other people do. I already know a lot about you and I don’t think you’re stupid. I think you’re probably one of the most intelligent and talented people I’ve ever met.
Seriously??!! I don’t even know what to say/write. I’m not worried about that, this is just me having trouble talking. Don’t worry about it. I’ll be ok. But thanks. For the compliments. cough-LIES-cough
Ok, relieved, but I’m not lying. So... what’s up?
All I keep thinking about is earlier when you asked if we could go somewhere to talk, I wanted to say so many things to you. I said barely a tiny percentage of what I was thinking.
Well now I’m desperately curious. Care to share what you wanted you to say?
What I wanted to say: “Oh, man, I am STARVING. I haven’t eaten all day, I was too nervous. I have so much I want to tell you about! Like about what happened with my dad and how excited I am to finally, actually, really meet you and how hard I worked on that song. I’m so embarrassed about the letter, but I’m really glad you liked it. It wasn’t really brave though, brave would have been telling you everything sooner. I should have told you the truth a hundred years ago and I can’t believe you still even want to hang out with me. I can’t believe you forgive me.” (That’s not even all of it. There’s more, but I think you get the gist.)
What I actually said: “I could eat. And talk.”
And apparently I lied about the second part.
“Wow,” Kurt says out loud.
“I know! I, I, I, I, have a lot to ssssssssay. Bah-bah-bah-but, st-st-stuck.” Blaine says with a shake of his head, eyes bright and finally engaged.
Their food gets served then and they stop talking for a moment. But Kurt starts scribbling again as soon as their waitress walks away.
Is there anything I can do? To help? To make it easier?
No way! You’re great. I just … can’t make my mouth move right now. I mean, I’m nervous about stuttering or screwing up and saying dumb or dorky stuff, but mostly I’m having some trouble like physically speaking. I’m really embarrassed and this is sort of what happens when I … feel too much. Like any time I’m overly emotional. Talking is useless. I’m also really happy, but I hope that’s not my problem. It would be awful if “too happy = inability to speak.” I’m not usually this bad. I guess that’s what I’m trying to tell you. Usually I can string sentences together.
That would be a downright shame if “too happy = inability to speak.” I just wish I could help you out somehow. I was really worried about you Blaine. Like really worried. When you didn’t get back to me, I thought something bad happened. I don’t know what, but just … bad. But I get it, why you were, and maybe are, hesitant, you didn’t/don’t have to be though. I can be a nice person.
I’m sorry I made you worry, I wasn’t really thinking about how you were feeling. (I’m such an asshole like that!!) And haven’t we been over this? Of course you’re nice, you’re downright ineffable. So great, I can’t even talk about you. Or to you.
Blaine, it’s fine. You’re winsome remember?
Yeah. Right. In my dreams maybe. You shouldn’t have to constantly reassure me. I’m not really worth it. I’m so sorry that I’m acting like this. I should be able to function as a human being. I just hate that I’m like this. Now I feel stupid and guilty and even more embarrassed for writing out my pity party.
Please don’t. Please don’t hate yourself, or anything about yourself. I wouldn’t be here if you weren’t worth it. Have you noticed Crazy Hair at the next table? She keeps giving us the stink eye.
Are you trying to diffuse my frustration/shyness/mortal embarrassment by snarking on a stranger? Cause that works for me. I happen to have a soft spot for snark. (I’m sorry. For being such a weirdo. And I’m sorry that I’m sorry.)
You saw right through my plan. And seriously, it’s like “honey, get a deep conditioner and a new stylist.” But why is she looking at us like that?!?!? (END YOUR VICIOUS CYCLE OF APOLOGY.)
I think that’s just how she looks. Either that or she’s never seen two guys in a diner passing a notebook back and forth like they’re in fucking 6th grade study hall. Get a good look sweetheart!!!
She saw us staring.
Be cool Kurt. Don’t look directly at her.
Oh, bugger off Crazy Hair.
Abrupt subject change.
I have to admit, now that I know who you are, I’m kind of surprised that you didn’t know who I was after I sent you that version of the tuna salad song. Unless, you just didn’t remember me/it.
It was familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. And I don’t think I could wrap my head around the guy on the internet being the guy from the coffee shop.
Yeah. I was definitely having the same issues.
There were a ton of moments all summer that I honestly thought it might be you. (I thought of you as The Silent Stranger.) But I just thought that would be far too great a coincidence.
I’m surprised you remembered me. (I called you The Face.)
Of course, you make an impression. (The face? seriously?)
I didn’t think you noticed me. I didn’t even talk to you. (I like your face.)
Talking isn’t always the most important thing. For starters, has anyone ever told you that you have a very nice ass? (I like your ass.)
No actually. No one has ever told me that before.
You do.
Thanks. It’s probably all the running?
And when you play music, you’re captivating. Also, I don’t think anyone had ever saluted me before. So, I didn’t just like you for your ass.
Where’s that blushing font when I need it...
I fucking love it when you blush.
This works in my favor.
What I still can’t figure out is how Rachel and Matt didn’t put the pieces together for us. They were always flirting.
I don’t know, Matt’s a good friend, but he pretty consistently has his head up his ass.
As does Rachel, now that I think of it.
Maybe it was better this way.
I wish you could have talked to me about other stuff this summer. You were dealing with dumb shit and maybe I could have helped.
What like you could have flown to Ohio and beaten up the camp counselor that made fun of me?
I would have done that. I plan to learn to some type of very intimidating fighting style and then I’m going to beat that guy up.
And I appreciate that. But I think they were my battles to fight this summer. I think I’m a better person for it.
I wonder though, what might have happened if I had cornered you after you played Pale Blue Eyes, like I wanted to. If stupid Rachel hadn’t dragged me away.
I probably would have been totally silent and smiled a lot and shrugged and run away.
But whyyyyy? I mean, why sing that song right to me and have no intention to talk to me after?
I guess I never thought you’d really pay attention to it. Or maybe I even hoped you wouldn’t be there that night. It was as much for me as it was for you. I never really thought about what might happen after. I guess I figured you’d leave and I’d leave and I’d just spend the summer thinking about you and hoping I’d see you again someday.
Yeah, but what if...
Are we playing that game?
YES. What if I had decided to not take that class?
What if I had decided against posting my levelheaded comment?
What if I detested levelheadedness????
What if I had thrown up on you in the basement?
Ew. Thanks for not.
It was one of my options. I was like “Ok, your options are throw up, run away, try to talk.” It really seemed like the best way to get your attention.
But you already had my attention.
To be fair, I didn’t know I had your attention. And it might not have been a well thought out plan, but vomiting on someone is construed as a sign of affection in some cultures.
Except that it’s not.
No. It’s not. I tell you lies.
I have a question. It’s been KILLING me. What were you going to write at the end of the letter? You said you would “need time, but...”
I have no idea. I rewrote that thing so many times, I’m not even sure what version you got. I mean, they all had the same theme “I stutter, I’m not very cool, please don’t hate me, I’m dumb, you’re smart, I miss you, seriously try not to hate me, I’m sorry.”
Yeah that’s pretty much what I got out of it. Also that you’re kind of amazing.
I’m scoffing at the mere thought of being amazing. I’m so far from amazing Kurt, I don’t think I could identify it. But thank you. And I guess, at the end of the letter I was just saying I hope we could be friends.
Would you be interested in being more than friends someday? maybe?
When Blaine reads that, he actually laughs loudly. The laughter seems to jar something loose in his chest and his jaw and his tongue. The worst of his block is suddenly gone, so he says “Why ww-would you wwwant to get involved with this mah-mah-mess?” And he uses his finger to draw a circle in the air around his face.
“Everyone’s a mess Blaine. Your mess is just harder to hide.”
Blaine smiles at this and thinks that he should start keeping a notebook of Kurt Hummel’s most inspirational quotes. Maybe now is as good a time as any to start. He turns to a new page in the notebook and writes:
1. I won’t think of them as blocks. I’ll think of them as interludes.
2. You were incredible.
3. Everyone’s a mess. Your mess is just harder to hide.
“What are you doing?” Kurt asks.
“May-making a lllist of the nnnnice things you ssssay to mah-mah-me.” With that Blaine tears the page out of the notebook and folds it up to keep in his wallet.
The boys have finished eating and Blaine pays the check by beating Kurt’s hand away and giving him a warning look.
“Thank you,” Kurt says, “You really didn’t have to pay.” Blaine just shrugs and smiles.
As they walk out of the diner Kurt says “I’d like to do this again sometime, okay?”
“You ww-wah-want to write notes to mah-mah-me in a dddd-diner for a couple hours again ssssometime?” Blaine jokes.
“It was fun. Didn’t you have fun? Stop laughing at me.” Kurt glances over his shoulder, “I really should have given Crazy Hair a recommendation for better product.”
“May-may-maybe next time.”
As they step onto the street, both boys stop for a second. Blaine takes this moment to wipe his sweaty palms on his jeans and then timidly takes Kurt’s hand. At this moment, it’s somehow both the most and the least that Blaine can do.
Kurt smiles at Blaine, gives their hands a swing between them and walks on.
~~~~~
A moment of “Crazy Hair”
What are those two doing over there?
All I hear is the slide of a notebook across the table.
And then giggles.
It’s sort of annoying.
I mean, if you’re on a date, why not talk?
Why are they looking at me like that?
They’re kind of adorable though.
It’s like the can’t stop smiling.
They’re very, very cute.
I hope they kiss.
I don’t think they’re going to kiss.
Must be a first date.
A very weird first date.
Why can’t I find a guy who looks at me like that?
That’s it, Deirdre Marshall, you need a boyfriend.
End Notes: THE END... for now! I hope to start posting the sequel, Overtures, in about two weeks. So be sure to keep an eye out for it. Thanks for reading!

Luckily there will be a sequel. :) Oh my god. This chapter was so cute <3. I love them even more now. Thanks for that amazing story. I'll be waiting for the sequel :)!
Thanks. Sequel soon, because my love for them grows exponentially with every chapter I write.
D.Marshall man. She makes a great punchline. Thanks for reading!
Haha I loved the ending....that was D.Marshal????? The boys would have died had they known.....can't wait for the sequel. :)
Thanks! I was saying on tumblr that it literally just hit me out of nowhere and I couldn't stop laughing. I'm glad everyone liked it.
That ending was just perfect!!! Ahhhh!!! Such a great story, and I simply cannot wait for the sequel! :D
aw, so damn sweet! LOVED IT! Very happy there will be a sequel - really can't wait to see the development between these two! YEAH!! Thanks!
I'll tell you, I'm only about 5000 words into Overtures, but I really am loving where it's going. So hopefully I can keep up the momentum. Thanks for reading!
looking so forward to the sequel! boys
YAY! I love these boys way too much to let them go. Also, I just love seeing where I can go with this Blaine. He intrigues me to no end. Thanks!
I think that list is going to mean a lot to Blaine over time. It's really just the smallest beginning for these boys and the sequel gives me a lot of room to explore. Thanks for reading!
Crazy hair of course had to be D. Marshall. I loved that Blaine started making a list of all the nice things Kurt says about him. I'm looking forward to the sequel. Hopefully Blaine will be able to speak more then.
Thanks! I agree.
D. Marshall....epic
Thank you!
So sweet!
I just couldn't walk away without one last D.Marshall reference. Thanks for reading!
Haha, as soon as the "Crazy Hair" part started I actually said "Oh, my God! It's D. Marshall!" out loud. Great story. I really like how you developed their relationship and can't wait for the sequel.
OMG! nooo, no; you can't leave it there! This was adorable, they were adorable & all I want is the sequel soon! One of the best Klaine stories I've ever read! :D
WOW! Thank you so much! I promise I'll be back ASAP with Overtures. I just really want it to be wonderful for you guys!
I don't think you could have written a better ending. D Marshall??? Perfect!!This whole story was sweet and thoughtful and difficult and funny. Mostly beautiful. You are incredibly talented. Can't wait for the sequel!!
Thank you so much for the compliments! I think those are really great adjectives for this fic. At times it was easy to write, and sometimes it was so hard. Blaine is a bit of a tragic figure here and it was hard to make life hard for him. But now he has Kurt and things will definitely start looking up!
YAY! Thanks!
I'm literally laughing out loud at the last part! Awesome writing! I'm looking forward to the sequel!!
I'm literally laughing out loud at the last part! Awesome writing! I'm looking forward to the sequel!!
Ha! I knew she was going to turn up! But seriously, this entire story was remarkable. I loved all of Blaine's words. I guess if speaking is hard you have to learn the very best ways to say something. Really looking forward to a sequel!
Thank you so much! And yes, Blaine just really likes to know as many words as possible so that he has one he might be able to use when he time comes.
I can't resist a good inside joke. :)
Lolz@crazyhair
Thank you! 1. Blaine likes books and Kurt is an English major, so that's how they both ended up there. 2. That would have been HILARIOUS.
bloomen awesome!!! please write again and often... although just as aside: 1: Very Important!!! how did they each go in that course? 2: I thought for a moment that D.Marshall may have been the lecturer putting in inane comments just to see the reactions.
Yeah, his assclownishness can get old, but I really do believe he can't help it and he's young. He'll mature nicely I think. Thanks for reading and prepare for the sequel! (And thanks for being the 100th review. Woohoo!)
Oh. My. God. First of all, sadness that it's over! This story has captivated me from the very beginning. I loved every single word of it, although Blaine's assclownishness annoyed me to no end. Anyway, the ending? With D. Marshall? Pure and utter win.
That was the Cutest damn thing i ever read! Looking forward to the sequel :)
Thank you! I love them so much sometimes I hug my laptop while I'm writing them. They really are that damn cute.
You. Are. A. Genius. Freaking loooove this story!! All those "A moment of *insert person here*" and their list of fonts and Matt and Crazy Hair and the Face and Silent Stranger aaaaaaand D. Marshall?? Cheese on a cracker, you amaze me!!!
Thank you! I love all of those things you just mentioned. It's what made it so much fun to write. Be sure to keep an eye out for the sequel!
Ahahah! I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reading. :)
OMGJWEGRUWEGFWE DEIRDRE! I FUCKING LOST MY SHIT AT THAT LINE. OMG. AJHAHAHAHAAHAH I love your story by the way, brava. :)
LMAO! That ending was perfect! It made me laugh, it made me "awwwww!", it was just wonderful :DI just read the whole thing so the overall view of the story is that it is AMAZING! By the way, I totally love Matt! (:Can't wait for the sequel!!! I'm so excited for it!!
yay! Thanks for reading and I'm so glad you thought the ending was perfect. I'll start posting the sequel tomorrow actually, so keep an eye out!
OMG THE ENDING! I nearly fell off my chair. I adored EVERYTHING about this story.
Sorry to make you nearly fall out your chair. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for reading!
THANK YOU!!!! I love this story too. I'll start posting the sequel, Overtures, tomorrow actually. So keep eye out for it!
Crazy hair is D.Marshall!!! They met! Kurt is the face! Blaine has a nice add! I love this story!!!update soon?
YES! Sequel tomorrow! I'm glad you liked it and I love making people LOL, so that's awesome. Thanks for reading!
Ok so I just read this through in one go... what a sweet story. I loved the way you wrote their correspondence, it was so natural and snarky and fun to read. And seriously I laughed out loud at the Deirdre Marshall ending - priceless. Really hope you follow-up with the sequel, I'll be excited to read it.
"Everyone's a mess Blaine. Your mess is just harder to hide." Totally reminded me of S3 yes/no episode with the whole will/emma storyline. Perfect ending!! I think you've already read a million times just how much WIN your revelation of crazy hair was!! It had me laughing out so loud!! And in public...! Really, really looking fwd to overtures!!! More so than anyone else i think. Okay that probably wasnt a fair call but i am looking fwd to the sequel. A lot. Because you've proven how awesomesauce you were with this and i have no expectations of whats coming bcos i already know its going to be great. you're an absolutely fantastic author and im looking fwd to stalking -- no sorry, "raiding" is probably the more appropriate and sane term -- your tumblr for all things interludes and overtures. xoxo You've definitely gained a long time fan! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I know I mentioned it on tumblr, but I love reading all of these comments. Just so fun. And tomorrow is Overtures!!! so I'll see you back here then. :)
ALSO... Its just been a little over two weeks.... Usually not one to place pressure or anything but can we expect something soon? Kinda dying a little waiting here lol =_= xoxo
Oh so cute! They are so cute! And lol about Deirde! Cannot wait to read the sequel!
Thank you! I love Deirdre, even if she is a complete idiot. I think she represents me within the the story. Except I'm not an idiot, but I do have occasionally crazy hair. Thanks for reading and I loved all of your comments as you went along. Glad you got a good laugh. And I'll start publishing Overtures tomorrow, so you're right on time!
Thanks for loving it and thanks for reading!
This was beautiful. I loved it. OMG the ending though! Haha!
Best Ending EVER! :D
HAHA! Thanks!
OH jeez. It should come with a warning "Last line will make you laugh. DO NOT READ IN PUBLIC." Although then it wouldn't even be half as funny because people would be prepared for it. :) Thanks for reading!
Oh my god. Oh. My. God. BAD IDEA - READ THIS WHILE IN CLASS. BAD, BAD, OH SO VERY BAD IDEA. When I read the last line I simply exploded with laughter - pure genius! my entire class stared at me like i'm an idiot and i had to pretend the lesson was what making me laugh like a madman. (woman.?) it was gimply genius, and i am going to read the sequal right now - you did an amazing job.
Thank you! I love writing their emails, they're such smart witty boys.
OMG the ending!!! That was so good.I loved the whole thing, especially the relationship between Blaine and Kurt while they were emailing!Now to read the first chapter of Overtures!
Ahhhh no confessing-their-love-kissing-scene!? Damn. This was such a beautiful story, in real life I think you ended it at a perfect spot. And I laughed out loud at the D.Marshall at the end. Absolutely perfect. Thank you for this!
Yeah, Blaine definitely wasn't prepared for kissing at that point. Truth be told, I wrote a version with a kiss and it was just too much. So then I decided to write a sequel. Make sure you check it out! Thanks for reading.
KISSING IS FOR SEQUELS!! Thanks for reading. :)
:O...No...NO!!!. I NEED A KISS!!..Ahh!...CHEESE AND CRACKER MODE!!. HOLY MOTHER OF PEARLS....Fishfingers... and Cheesecake! THAT IS NOT FAIR. DON'T DO THIS TOO ME.
Thanks for reading!
HAHAHAHAHA. This story. Win.
Thank you!! And don't worry, I have some plans for D.Marshall in the future. And that's all I'm going to say about that. :)
This story was so lovely. I can't even say how much I enjoyed it. And as a silly post-script to my utterly pathetic review, I just want to say... I haven't started the sequel yet, but oh how I hope that someday they figure out that Crazy Hair is also D.Marshall!!! That was an EPIC last line.
At least D.Marshall is intelligent enough to see that they're cute.Loved reading this and can't wait for the sequel.
I'll be posting chapter 2 of the sequel today actually! Thanks for reading!
I don't know, my brain is weird place. I'm glad you think it's cute and remarkable. And your comment made *my* day! Thanks for reading.
OH MY SQUEE! THAT WAS THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER READ! LIKE, HOW DOES A HUMAN BEING EVEN COME UP WITH THAT???!! But seriously, folks, you're remarkable. Wow. Made my day!
very nicely done. changing the vocabulary really makes a difference blocks–interludes. i have to admit, i was kinda hoping for a kiss (any type really), but i realize that it is definitely too early. but knowing that you're writing a sequel to this, well, let's just say i have hope for the future :)
There's definitely hope for the future! The kissing scene has definitely been written! And yes, sadly it was just too early for Blaine here. He needs some time just to get comfortable with the very idea of Kurt even, ya know? Thanks for reading!
So like I kinda really love this story. And I got to the end and snorted when it turned out that crazy hair was D.Marshall. And then I was all ok on to the next chapter. But there is none!!! Ahhh. But yea that wasn't my point. My point was I love this story.
Thank you! And there might not be another chapter of Interludes, but chapter 3 of Overtures is going up tomorrow, so the boys are still hanging around. Thanks for reading!
Thank you! Deirdre Marshall is like the best joke I've ever told. People just love her. Thanks for reading.
OH I LOVE THE ENDING. holy crap deirdre! best ever. This story was ridiculously sweet. It was a brilliant idea, and wonderfully executed. Well done.
Thanks for all of your comments!!
your boys are very cute! this whole thing was very very cute. thank you!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. :)
The end killed me... :) It is beautiful story, thank you!
OH MY GOD, I WAS THINKING THE WHOLE TIME AFTER HE MENTIONED CRAZY HAIR THAT IT WAS D.MARSHALL, AND HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA THIS SHOULDN'T BE THIS FUNNY BUT I WAS TOTALLY PREPARED FOR THAT TO BE REALITY AND IT IS AND THIS STORY IS BEAUTIFUL AND I AM SO SORRY FOR THE OVER-ABUSE OF CAPS
It's all good. This is definitely not the only review I've ever gotten primarily written in caps lock. I take it as a compliment. Thanks for reading!
Hehe! The ending delights me. Thanks for reading!
OH MY GOSH. STOP IT. I AM IN TEARS OVER THAT ENDING..OMFG DID NOOOOT SEE THAT ONE COMING! :))
That was such a good story! I totally spent the whole day glued to my computer reading it, there wasn't a moment that you slacked with the story line or the way you wrote it. And the ending was golden. Really nice way to wrap it up. I got so sad when I finished reading it, But then I saw you wrote a sequel o/ off to reading that, now! (please write tons of stuff more, you ace that, honey! ..I'm such a picky reader usually, it gets frustrating)
Thank you!!! I'm glad that even the picky readers like this story. I tend to be a picky reader myself, often quickly turned off from fanfic for petty reasons. Thanks for reading!
Loved your fic!!!
Thank you!
THAT'S how you end a story! Oh my god, this was the greatest thing I've read in a long time. Sweet, sad, funny and just so beautiful. Loved it. Thank you so much for writing it.
Thanks! I love all of those adjectives to describe this fic. That's just the balance I was looking to strike. Thank you for reading.
ahhhhh I can't wait for the sequel!!!
Thank you so much! I love writing banter and we can totally be friends. Let's be friends! Hope you enjoy the sequel!
The story was delightful and I'm uber impressed with your art of banter! During this whole story I wanted to be to your friend and...realized that might seem slighty sad. SO! congrats on being endearing and hilarious! I can't wait to read more.
Thanks so much! And the sequel is being posted already! Be sure to check it out. :)
I just wanted to express to you how much I absolutely adore this story. In the end when CrazyHair ending up being D.Marshall I literally loled for a good five minutes. This is brilliant and I cannot wait till the sequel.
such a creative story line!!!
Thank you!
YAY! Thanks for reading!
I LOVED THIS! SO, SO, SO MUCH!!!!!!
Thanks!! I figured D.Marshall deserved to see their first date. Even if none of them were the wiser.
very very cute. and OMG IT'S D. MARSHALL!
This story was absolutely incredible. I read it all in one sitting, I just couldn't stop. It made me laughed and teared up, so many emotions. The emails were so funny and it was adorable to read about the building of their relationship over the summer. I'm so happy they found each other. Thank you so much for such a great read. Off to the sequel now! Ps: The ending was priceless.
Aw, thank you!
wow this was really good i literally read this in one night. it was that good
Hehe! Thanks for reading.
Ohmygod. DMARSHALL!
I loved this story! So sad it is over and lol D.Marshall at the end! I mean like lol no other word to describe it.... I hope you write a sequel!
Of course! The sequels already posted, I'm on chapter 11 out of 14. Go read! And thanks!
THAT SONG. I can't believe you used that song - I'm freaking out over here! So much love and respect for you! It actually took me a few moments to realise what song it is, because it's a monumental song in another fandom of mine. It's one of the all time main songs of my OTP. And to hear it used for Klaine, too, in this all-around perfect fic? Week. Made.
I love that song, and it seemed so right for these boys. I'm glad I could make your week. :) Thanks for reading!
Ohmygod d. Marshall.
Hehe. I know. :)
AHHAHA! Thanks. :)
Biggest GASP ever!!! What an ending!!!! Bahahahah!!!!
Perfect ending to this first story I love you and I love your Blaine and I LOVE Matt and wish I was Kerry so he would try to woo me like he does her XD You are an excellent writer, and I love you. Please don't stop. :)
So, I found your story on Tumblr and when I started reading, I honestly couldn't stop. I read the ending of this and I knew I had to make an account on here JUST to tell you how much I really really really loved this story. I laughed so hard during this I am sure my family thinks I'm on crack (as if they already didn't). Like, man, your humor, the flow of this story, the ending was pricelss I tell you. God, this was amazing. I cannot wait to read the sequeal. I'm actually on my way to reading right now. Here I go. Thanks for being born :)
In all seriousness, I pretty much yelled 'OH MY GOD' when I read that last sentence. That was brilliance at it's best.Well, that story was lovely, wonderful, engaging and every other positive adjective you could possibly think of. Now I'm off to read Overtures.
I laughed so much at the last sentence!This whole story is amazing though, siriusly! Thank you for writing it and their whole relationship is so adorable :3xoxo

AWWWWWWWWWW i love how D.Marshal. just amazing. I love you and this story <3Please make a sequal.
Oh my god, the ending was perfect.
Oh my goodness. This was the cutest thing. No joke, the entire story I was thinking "oh my goodness i REALLY hope she writes in a bit for D.Marshall." THANK YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I should start the sequel. Guilty confession i started this story like 4 months ago but i decided against it because i thought the teaser was cheesy (SORRY I WAS SO WRONG THIS WAS MAGICAL) And can i just say that blushing blaine is like the best thing ever? wonderful work thank you for sharing your brilliance :D! Trevor PS: That banter you wrote between Kurt and Blaine was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT Specifically the part about "you know that kid your mom tells you about who's face gets stuck from making a specific face too much? Well I'm the kid." ^COMEDY GOLD I loved this and I'm rambling please continue to write you amazing person <3 :D
wow,i really enjoyed your story.I cant wait to read the sequel
D. Marshall... HA HA HA HA HA! I'm going to look for the sequel. Thanks for writing!
WOW!...Just wow :) I've noticed this fic around for a while but, for some reason (still not sure why!), I've been avoiding reading it (silly me!). Anyway, I saw a "rec" for Crescendos on Tumblr and thought I'd give it a go (clever me!). Got to only about 10 pages in and thought...hang on, stop and go to the beginning of this story...and I'm so glad I did. It's wonderful. Your writing is amazing and managed to capture so many believable emotions. Okay, on to the next bit...Overtures ;)
So much LOVE for this story!!! THANK YOU! Btw I laughed my ass of everytime they talked about chicken. And the end: a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Okay I'm rambling.
Haha the end just killed me!! Although i have a question...i know this is an AU but is it an AU with im but not facebook?? It's like if you meet smn. Online...you go look them up on facebook just to put a face to the person you are talking to right? And a whole summer doesn't just pass by wondering and dreaming....#justsayin'
THAT ENDING.
i just dropped my phone!!! this was the best ending of the history of ends!!!!!! (but i wish it didn't end actually!!!) i'm so glad you are making a sequel because i physically need it! this was so cute and adorable!! when blaine was nervious i was! hahaha i loved this! thanks for the beautiful story. love, ruth
