it's 𝒃𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒂𝒍 out here.

dude, there's a business idea! genius. i really hope so, 'cause that bastard deserves some karma. okay, awesome. we got loads of catnip now. i definitely get it, but if you can't decide it's always an option. i love that honestly. there are both to choose from, so hopefully one of them bonds or at least is tolerable to freddie.

we should become private investigators together as a side hustle. that would be so much fun! and i hope so too. i'm not gonna let that guy get away with this. sweet! and i'll keep that in mind, just in case. i really hope one (or two) of them will!

So it's legal to citizen's arrest a thief if you can catch them, right? Because my food delivery got stolen literally two minutes after I got notified it was delivered.

oh no, that sucks! that used to happen to me quite a lot in new york, until i figured out it was my neighbor stealing my food. so, what's the plan here? are you going to order again and hide in a corner so you can catch them in the act? and did you at least get a refund from the app?

happy to let you wake me up however you want. you're the best. if it's a burglar at my place they're in for a rude awakening. unless they go after my comic book stash. i feel like the redness is getting a little better, so with any luck. oh for sure, but your hands and aloe vera sound like an amazing combo.

is that a challenge? i think some people would go pretty far for your comic book stash, you know. and i'm glad to hear it's getting a little better! there's only one way to find out.

Okay great, Split Fiction it is. Though you gotta come be my other half again, you made a great husband when we did It Takes Two. Thanks dude, just gotta save the money now and then I can get started on it.

obviously! i feel like it's been forever since we played anything together, so you're probably gonna have to kick me out at some point. i hope you can save up enough soon!

that'd be pretty funny, us playing rivals. it'd be the biggest acting challenge of my (non-existent) career. who could be mean to that face? but you're right. it'd be awesome.

who could be mean to the tina cohen-chang? it would definitely be a challenge, but i'm sure we could handle it. it would be so much fun!

The knock on the door came just as Blaine stepped back into the living room after a quick shower, a soft, rhythmic tap that made his stomach flip. He'd know that knock anywhere, and not just because he was expecting Sam. It had been a pretty brutal week, with endless rehearsals and long nights on set, and it felt like ages since he'd last seen Sam. Part of him loved the thrill of sneaking around, of sharing secret glances in a room full of their friends and the fleeting brushes of fingertips in passing. But there were also times when he wondered how long they could keep this up, and part of him couldn't wait for the moment when he would inevitably shout it from the rooftops just how much he adored Sam Evans.

sorry, if you've been trying to reach me... i forgot my phone password and it locked me out for 336 hours. don't worry, i've been consulting my cat to see if he remembers it, but so far all he has is "meow," "hiss," and he keeps pawing at one of the sticky notes i put down in front of him that has a 3 written on it. i only put the 3 there as a test, he knows i hate that number so... i think he's pranking me. Which is... actually kind of cruel, all things considered.

i hope that means you finally got back in now? i'm sorry to hear that, britt. maybe you could set up face id or touch id? then you won't have to remember your password. please let me know if i can do anything to help! why do you hate the number 3, though, if you don't mind me asking? and maybe lord tubbington thinks it's a bug or something?

thanks, detective anderson. dude, a month ago i would have argued, but i'm a better cat dad than i thought i'd be. that's okay, they might be a little shy too. i've only seen them interact with each other, so hard to say. definitely, bring him over then. we'll have a party. i got cat nip. dude, i don't like separating them, so you'd be doing me a favor to take more than one. thanks! i think we're going with vader and han solo.

my pleasure, detective puckerman. i'm sure that between you and me, we'll catch the guy soon enough. will do! if you provide the catnip, i'll bring the cat treats. and please don't encourage me. i think two cats might be enough, but we'll see... that's so cute! i love that! maybe i should go for a matching name. leia if it's a girl, or maybe luke if it's a guy?

i'm one of those people that can sleep through pretty much anything. so if there's ever a major earthquake, please wake me up. it felt so nice though! an hour less and i would have had the perfect tan. of course then i wouldn't have an excuse for your handiwork. my hero!

so i've noticed. of course i'll wake you up, man — whether it's a major or minor earthquake, or just a burglar sneaking around. i've got your back. and let's hope this awful sunburn turns into that perfect tan after all! i'm sure we could've come up with a different excuse for said handiwork, though.

i hope so. it'd be pretty cool if one day we got to be costars or something. maybe more in the sense of you as the leading man and me as a paid extra, but... still. pretty cool.

or maybe they'll need a new mysterious transfer on from the top!, or someone from a rival glee club or cheer team, or a love interest... who knows. as much as i love it on set, it would be so much better with you there! and i know you'd absolutely love it there.
