Shoebox Of Life

It’s that you wear your heart on your sleeve… but I guess that isn’t such a huge difference? Thank you, again. As always, you’ll be the most handsome there. Does tooo. :)

Oh that’s it, well I wear that too. And nope, I don’t think it’s that big a difference, you’re welcome! You really mean it? Thanks Quinn, especially with this tie. Noope. :)

Good then, you always seem to get me, Finn. Yes! It sounds odd but it’s pretty good. Kind of tastes like a Reese’s cup but with a little fruitiness. I guess so; you’re both pretty smart though, you know.

Well I like to think I have an inside track into your insight. Wow, that does sound really good as a matter of fact. Aw well hey, thank you for that.

Oh? So if I were to, like, teleport to your apartment right this very moment, I wouldn’t find your tie lying around? I find that hard to believe. Might even race you back home after the wedding just to see if I’m right. Ha, you make it sound like mom traumatized you or something. Who knew you were such a drama queen? 

Um... nope. You wouldn’t, and for no unrelated reason I’m glad there’s no such thing as a teleporter now. Well maybe you just lack faith, Tee. What? No that’s not necessary either! Hey she kind of did, you know. It’s not drama when it’s the truth.

I think you may be biased, but thank you for saying so. That’s very sweet. You’re welcome, Finn. Yeah? Great choice then! Red is definitely my next favorite though. Yes it does– hush, you. :)

I wear my bias on my sleeve... wait, is that the saying? But you’re welcome Quinn, and it’s the truth. Thank you, and okay red it is. Shh, it does not. :)

Okay, good. I was afraid that might come off more rude than I’d meant for it to. It is. Now, peanut butter and jelly shakes, however, are delicious. Me too. I could use some awesome pancakes about now. Or French toast! Sam said the same thing– why am I not at all surprised?

Nah, I understood what you meant to say. A peanut butter and jelly shake? I’ve never had one before but now I want to! Oh man... breakfast food, yes! We so need this. Well, because Sam’s a really smart guy, that’s why.

Wow, that’s actually kind of genius on her part. Yeah, maybe it says a lot about us and our lack of…not spilling skills. Then again…you do need the tie, so… Yeah I guess. I dunno. I never get the point of weddings. Besides alcohol and cute bridesmaids. 

I thought so too, that’s a real smart thing plus it’s saved my bacon. I’m trying real hard not to focus on that part of it and just assume it’s because she cares enough about how we look. Yeah but not because I spilled anything, just because I forgot to bring one! You really don’t? Well, as the one among us who’s had a wedding... no, I’m with you, the last one didn’t end up working so well in the long run. But true on those last two points.

This is the most YOU thing ever, big brother! You probably left them right next to your suitcase or something back home. Maybe mom needs to give you a refresher course on her ever annoying ‘check’ system! 

Hey, no it’s not! I’m usually totally prepared for these kinds of things. I... no they aren’t, they’re so not where I left them and you can’t prove it. Nooo I couldn’t take another refresher course, it was bad enough growing up! I can’t go back there again.

Of course I did! What kind of personal shopper would I be if not? I don’t with all things, but when it comes to fashion, I’ve got you covered. I have both, though I favor blue on you most. However, all colors look great on you. Oh hush, I didn’t mean it like that and you know it! But, thank you, Finn.

Well that’s true, lucky for me you’re the best personal shopper around. Thank you again, Quinn, you’re the best. And you do? Wow, well okay then, I trust your judgement so I’ll go with the blue! Maybe you didn’t, but that doesn’t make it a false statement. You’re welcome. :)

What? Finn Hudson, I am insulted. However, I’m glad you and Sam both agree with me; makes me feel less snobby about it. Ew, really? No, waffle shakes don’t exist for a reason. I’m sorry about that. Pretty sure the eggs were just as runny. Same here, you know? Or I can pack snacks, lol.

I don’t think of it as snobby though, that’s just practical and I totally agree with you. Right? It’s nasty, and yuck, the eggs too? I can be ready to check out breakfast somewhere else right now if you guys are? Not that I’m saying no to snacks either.

These fancy hotels usually have a little store in ‘em for like toiletries and stuff. Maybe they’ve got ties there? It’s a long shot otherwise you might have to go into town.

Good point, I’ll take a look down there and see. Quinn mentioned having a couple of extras she brought with her, but that’s more because she expected one of us to slop something on ours today. The lack of faith aside, it was pretty cool of her to do that. How about you, are you all ready to get cleaned up for this afternoon?

Not to be one of those people, but the continental breakfast here is lacking. Even I can make better coffee, and well… you all know how great I am at that. I think we should all go out before the wedding and find something better, just in case the food tonight isn’t any better.

Sorry Quinn, but we all know you’re one of those people. You aren’t wrong though, it really wasn’t very good. Somehow the waffle maker managed to cook the outside of the batter but left the insides just as runny. I don’t really like drinking waffles with a straw. I’m down for that, I’m sure it’ll be better but I don’t really like taking chances with my stomach.

You’re in luck, Finn. I ended up bringing some with me just in you or Sam spilled on yours or for some last minute fashion emergencies. I think this constitutes as one. I have several. What color do you need? For the record though, I bet I could help you pull off that look.

Seriously, you actually did? You really are the fashion wizard, Quinn. I don’t know how you knew to think ahead like that, but thank you! Well it’s a dark grey suit, so just about any color I think would be okay. Maybe red or blue, stick with a primary color? Of course I’ll defer to your tastes, if you think another color works? I’d believe it, you’d make anybody look better standing next to them.

Yes.

I get that; then again, I am kind of a mystery. ;) I appreciate you checking, just in case.

I think you are. You’re still the sweetest, Finn. :)

Oh I agree, you are very much a mystery. ;) You’re welcome, of course.

Thank you Quinn, very much. As long as you think so. ;)

I think it is too. And I’m positive. 

Thank you. :)

So am I. You’re welcome. :)
