So sad you are leaving me.

I know, I know, I’m not exactly jumping for joy either. But at least we’ll be back, and you know you’re more than welcome at our place any time, Mercy. I love you, and I’ve loved being here. You know this. 

Don’t be so surprised, you know me. Of course I do, I have fun with you and participating in stuff with you. We could do all kinds of things, really. An actual duet, or turning a regular song into a duet. We could do something fun or something sweet. What are you in the mood for? We could do more than one too. Nobody said we can’t.

I know, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever stop being surprised. We do have fun together. Tons of fun. You’re right, the sky is the limit. But...Okay, I kind of have an idea, I just don’t want you to think I’m a dork, or that it’s stupid or anything. 

Sebastian: Welcome to the city. Of course I do. It's as good an excuse as any to see you, and I do hope you know that you are going to be seeing me while you're here. Whenever is fine with me, I can work around your tourist itinerary. What songs do you like for this?

So, what song are we singing together, sweetheart? Because we’re totally dynamic, we’ve gotta do another duet. I know you had fun with the last one. And you like being included as part of the crowd.

Oh, wow. You’re so sweet, it still takes me off-guard sometimes. I’m glad you want to do another duet with me, that you felt that the last time went well enough to warrant that. Did you have any ideas?

Sebastian: Are you in the city yet? I'd love to get together and pick a song to duet for this challenge with you. We still have to hang out anyway, so how can you say no?

Bas: I've noticed him posting about you more and more on social media. It's cute. Jealousy inducingly cute. We should definitely get together, I know you miss my face. How are you?

Today I thought about cooling down with a sundae.  While deciding on what kind of sundae, I noticed they have pineapple as an option.  My question is, who asks for a pineapple sundae?  And if you are one of those people, do you also like pineapple on your pizza?   Is it because it’s tropical– is that why people like it? I am asking; for scientific and mathematical purposes.  How does everyone feel about this fruit as a topping for ice cream, and also for pizza.

That’s a lot to think about, Brittany. Especially considering I can safely say I’ve never thought about it before. But, I guess that’s because I always considered it normal? I mean, pineapple is frequently added as a topping on Banana Splits. So, I think it would make sense to have a Pineapple Sunday. As far as pizza goes, I don’t absolutely hate pineapple on it. I don’t understand the big debate, ultimately. 

“You are,” Brett insisted defiantly, with a playful tone and bouncing eyebrows. His gaze never left Dave and he stayed as close as he could be, returning every affection and granting plenty of his own. Brett was a touchy person, he was all about physical affection. There wasn’t a moment where he wasn’t touching Dave in some gentle way. Especially when they kissed and while he listened to the other man. “Okay, I give in. Do you need anything from me to make this happen? When do you wanna go? It sounds like your friends miss you. I’d miss you too, if I was out in New York and you were still here. I’ll go anywhere with you though. Just say the word. Or even don’t. Just pick me up and carry me there. Dragging works too. Or luring with the scent of pizza and cookies like Bugs Bunny.”

Brett’s teasing came and Dave rolled his eyes playfully, drawing the other into his body even further, wrapping his arms around Brett’s back and shoulders, bringing him to rest against Dave’s own chest. “I have a million arguments prepared to show you how wrong you are, but I just can’t bring myself to argue with you, handsome. I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one.” The amount of physical affection Brett gave had been surprising to Dave, but not unwelcome in the slightest. The truth was, Dave himself craved a lot of physical affection, second only to his primary love language necessity of words of affirmation. The longer they were together, the more apparent it was how well they fit. As if it had always been meant to be. “I’m glad. Though, don’t think you didn’t drive a hard bargain. It was a tough sell, you held out well. Nope, I don’t. Other than for you to pack, and be ready to go...Tomorrow night?” Dave asked, cocking an eyebrow. “Yeah, I guess they do. And I miss them, too. New York just...Isn’t a forever place for me. But, I should go visit them more. It’s hard, with mom....And Sebastian doesn’t even know about that. Anyway, that’s...I like that, Brett. That means a lot to me. For you to say that. And for me to know you mean it.” Dave leaned forward, pressing his cheek to Brett’s head. “You’re an uncomplicated man. That’s one of the things I love most about you.” The words came before Dave could stop them, though immediately after his eyes widened to a size akin to saucer’s, his face turning beet red. “I- I mean I...I love- I just...Oh, wow.”

As Dave pulled him closer, Brett scooted, making it easier. By the end of it, he was as close as could be, smiling that empty-looking (but Dave knew better) smile that he was so known for. His fingers were kissed and he couldn’t help but think about how sweet it was. His wrist twisted gently to allow him to draw his thumb along Dave’s lower lip and then his fingertips drew along his jawline. “Do you have any idea how stellar you are? Like… rockstar level. You’re so wonderful. Do I want to go? With you? Of course I do. I never thought I’d leave Ohio, you know.”

Having Brett as close as he was had once felt so foreign to Dave, though now he couldn’t imagine anything between them being any different. It had been over a month since Brett had asked the question Dave had waited so long to hear, and things could not have been any more perfect than what they were. With each passing day, more of Dave’s walls came tumbling down, and he found himself falling deeper into Brett with every breath. The feeling of his boyfriend’s fingertip as it slid gently over his lips drew a soft gasp, followed by a light laugh as it continued its journey along his jawline. Shaking his head, Dave gave a lopsided grin. “I’m not, really. But its really, really stellar that you think so. It’s almost funny, too, because I think the same thing about you. You’re perfect.” He replied, punctuating his words with a kiss to Brett’s lips. “I might have guessed as much, but that’s not something you have to think about. Not ever again. I want to go everywhere with you. To explore everything. To see things and experience things...Together.” Dave’s cheeks flushed at his own admission, though he pressed on. “Mercy has been practically begging me to come to New York. Sebastian has mentioned it a few times, too. How does that sound to you? A week in the city?”

Dave: Hey, Kurt. I know we haven't talked in a while, so...I wanted to reach out. Some timing, huh?

Bas: And would you look at that, the ticket is already booked. See you in a few hours, stud. Why not both?

Bas: You'll be happy too, I promise. You deserve it. You do.

Bas: Call out post acknowledged. I'm alright, I'll be even better when I see you. I'm packing as we speak.

Dave: It isn't possible for me to roll my eyes any harder. Or to smile any wider. Thank you, Sebastian. You don't need to, I know you're a busy guy. But it would be...Really, really great to see you. You're hilarious. If you wanted to have a sleepover with me you could have just said so.

Hunter: Thanks, but...Anyway, you deserve it too. You do.

Bas: You beautiful man, I need to come down to Ohio and show you how much fun the newly single life can be. Maybe I'll get lucky and you'll come home with me.

Bas: I know how bad the Blaine Blues must be. He'd leave anyone for the blue eyed wonder, in any timeline. Not that it makes it any easier.

Dave: You don't have to do that, Sebastian. I appreciate the sentiment though, thank you. You...Want me to come home with you? Like, New York home? Or figure of speech home?

Dave: Yeah. I know you do. I know that's the truth, too. It's alright. I understand it, obviously. And I do want him to be happy. For both of them to be happy. They deserve it.
