girl on fire

A lot of our things are still in boxes, so finding the outfit I wanted to wear to Rachel and Jesse’s housewarming party was almost impossible. So I instead decided to just buy a completely new piece altogether. One might say it is a little too much for a small gathering, but after the past few weeks, I needed to treat myself to something nice.

Was it everything you hoped it would be and more? 

There are 12 days left until Halloween and I’m lowkey thinking about taking a mini vacation. I need your opinions: New York, California, or Mexico

To escape halloween? Totally get it. Such a fake holiday. 

OPHELIA: She likes to use proper outfits.

OPHELIA: You are welcome. Andrea and I are into threesomes, if you are wondering. Just separately.

LIZZIE: i AM TRYING

LIZZIE: I think you were very resourceful. And you got a nice husband RIGHT

LIZZIE: but still works right? For the aesthetic?

KITTY: you say in caps lock.

KITTY: true. i didn't end up with a backstabbing cheat, so yeah... could be worst.

MARLS: We shall not go down that rabbit hole

MARLS: So I am on my way with everything you may ever need.

[...]

KITTY: Not to be sappy, but you're kind of my favorite person.

KITTY: Thanks for the wine, I'm no longer feelings like my life has been flipped upside down.

HUNTER: I'll keep that in mind.

HUNTER: Oh yeah? I think Sugar is too, although in her case I don't really know why.

HUNTER: ... what did you tell him? Well, I'm officially restating it as your fault that nothing happened there back when I was at the Point.

HUNTER: I told him I'd like to reconnect. Hooking up with his best friend might negate that message.

KITTY: Idk, maybe she wants to buy you.

KITTY: I didn't go into /details/ but size was mentioned. Don't worry, I totally did you justice 😇

KITTY: IF ANYTHING all I did was make him want to jump your bones more.

Puck squinted back at Kitty, trying to figure out whether she was insulting Lauren, or complimenting his skills in the bedroom. Trying to talk to her often gave him a headache, but in a different way than talking with Rachel did. He was happy for the subject change, as it gave his brain a small break from trying to figure out if he should defend Lauren or thank Kitty. “I know. I already brought them over one of those gift baskets. They’re naming him Puck, or whatever the chick version of Puck is.” 

Kitty’s face turned to confusion, was there something Rachel hadn’t told her? If she was already carrying a bun in the oven, that’s totally something she (as both her dearest friend and publicist) should be made aware of. But she wasn’t about to openly admit she wasn’t in on something. “What in God’s good name did you put in a trying to conceive gift basket? Porn and lube?” She cackled as she took another large sip from her glass. “You’re dreaming if you think they’re going to name it after you, they’re naming her Kitty. And obviously it’s going to be a girl because I’m praying like super hard.” 

My dog, obviously.  Rude.  I’m a really good snuggler.

... You think my price is snuggling? Do you know me at all? 

LIZZIE: I just didn't know if that one counted I'M TRYING TO BE CHILL ABOUT IT

LIZZIE: PERF. Blue is a nice color. And it gives luck, right?

KITTY: lol you don't know chill.

KITTY: but my wedding still counts. i didn't continue the day in the face of disaster for it to not.

KITTY: have blue as your accent color doesn't count as your something blue.

HUNTER: #bossbitch

HUNTER: Tuesday night. I do have PT Wednesday morning so I'll have to pace myself.

HUNTER: Temporary until I am able to move in and unpack into military housing in Dayton, unless I decide to commute and stay in Lima.

HUNTER: ... I don't think I would complain.

KITTY: Like I was destined for anything less. If you ever find yourself in a publicity disaster, hmu.

KITTY: When you're on the other side of this whole battle injury fiasco, i'm going to expect a total blow out from you.

KITTY: I can tell Seb how good you are in bed if you think it would help.

OPHELIA: Rachel made me use the weird ass hats, so I have two of those too.

OPHELIA: she does that without needing to, but no. It would feel like incest and i'm not into that shit

KITTY: She would.

“now be nice Wilde…if I do remember correctly you were the first one to serenade me” he winked “ you even stepped up and went to see my mother. if that doesn’t scream crush I don’t know what does” his laugh came a little uneasy. His mom had always loved Kitty after that. But he wasn’t going to admit to it. His mother who had never quite warmed up to Tina. 

She was right. Four months ago he was still Tina’s fiance…yes…his feelings for her were not quite the same as the year before, but he figured that was how relationships were. You couldn’t feel the blind, unreasonable love for the same person forever. He thought. At some point you just settled and loved in a more rational way. Started making compromises and taking decisions rather than just following your heart. Or so he figured. 

He tried not to thinki about how his heart had skipped a bit when he took a look to his right and found Kitty Wilde-out of all people-drinking next to him. How his heart never stopped rising during the ceremony. How it felt to say I do. 

Fuck it his thoughts weren’t in the right place right now. 

“Please do” he said as she mentioned giving Tina a thank you basket. He was pretty sure it was a joke, but the image in his mind was still too funny  “can you imagine her face?” he still had some not quite nice feelings towards Cohen-Chang. He had moved back to Lima for her. He had decided not to let his feelings get the best of him for her and she had still walked out on him. Not really even looking all that guilty. His new skills weren’t even all on hers -after all they had been in an on -off relationship for quite some time…but her getting the basket would still be pretty epic. 

He nodded at the mention of the ride to the bedroom. He was sure she quite liked them and deep down he did too. They were the rare occasion when he could feel her close . He cleared his lap for her and patted it, clear invitation  for her to settle

“Yeah, no worries.” Puck snapped his gum, leaning back against the wall with a shrug. “I think I like less of these people now, than I did in high school. And I was a dick in high school.” He wasn’t too sure how everyone seemed to feel about him - unless someone directly told him how they felt, it was rare that he did. The mention of Lauren made him perk up once again, however, and he looked back over at Kitty with a small smirk. “Why? Did she say that’s something she’s into?” Only partially joking, he happily grabbed the flask from her, taking a nice, long sip. “I’m glad I’m not the only one that came prepared. Champagne and wine? Really? Just because we’re getting old, it doesn’t mean we have to be boring.” 

“I want to pretend I’m surprised, but the legend of Noah Puckerman didn’t leave much to the imagination.” She shrugged, remembering the stories of Puck that came hand in hand with his brother starting McKinley at the same time she did. “I don’t know what Lauren is into between the sheets, I just made an education guess. Word of advice: bring whipped cream. Something tells me a quickie is going to give her an appietite.” She took a large sip from her drink, thankful she’d thought ahead and brought something that would at least give some sort of burn as it went down. “Are you really surprised? And I’m not one to gossip, but rumor has it they’re trying to have a baby... Because apparently moving back to Lima is the perfect place to reproduce.” She commented sacrastically, only partially bitter that Rachel’s shift to Lima had been a key reason in her herself staying... Well that and her marriage. Sort of. 

LIZZIE: OHHHH i'm gonna help you with EVERYTHING YOU NEED WHEN THE TIMES COMES.

LIZZIE: I DIDN'T MEAN TOGETHER.

LIZZIE: okay blue. i'm sticking with blue.

KITTY: You're a little late for that. You know this.

KITTY: This weekend.

LIZZIE: Second best???????????

LIZZIE: Red probably, but blue is REAL NICE TOO.

LIZZIE: That's.... Something i don't know???

LIZZIE: OBVS. But I think red and blue also work.

KITTY: I'm not planning a wedding that's going to be better than mine. I'm way too petty for that.

KITTY: Red and blue....
