IC Contact Post

"Hey, you've reached Tim. I can't pick up right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can."

[Blaine does know so he nods in a way that acknowledges it.]

So, you'll always love him. I can get that. You know, it's possible it was just a heat of the moment thing. You were fighting and emotional. You might even have been terrified of losing him again. It's natural to want to do something drastic.

You don't have to make sense of it all right now.

I don't usually do drastic. [He really doesn't. Drastic is for people who haven't had a gun to their face or a knife to their throat. "Observe in order to preserve". He'd learned that one well.]

I'm worried about ruining our friendship, still. [He shrugs.] My list of people I've kissed is pretty short, too. Don't tell anyone that, though.

Mine is pretty short too. [Blaine admits after a moment.] It pretty much only includes Kurt and Rachel. [which is an embarrassing memory]

I don't think this will ruin your friendship, if what I know about both of you is accurate.

You kissed Rachel? [That was a surprise, actually. Such a random one in the relatively short list.]

...What do you know about both of us? [He's really curious.]

I was drunk. We made out. In front of everyone. [Blaine says, hoping that will explain.]

I know that you're loyal to him, that you always talk about him. I know that you're both good men. That you've fought side by side against the type of people that kids like me can't even imagine. I think all of that means that you're loyal and have a bond that is beyond friendship.

But you can tell me if I'm wrong.

[Yup. That explained it all.

But Blaine hit it right on the money. Did he really talk about him all the time? Right after he'd died, he'd only talked around him. That vacation that wasn't really a vacation; he didn't speak about him. But being in this city made him realize how much he really missed him. Blaine was right. They did have a bond. The tips of his ears turned pink as he looked down with a smile.]

You're not wrong.

Well, I'm glad that you would compare me to someone you really care about.

You guys do have some similarities. [His blush deepened. He had always been foiled by romance; he tried to make it work, before. Tried to be normal, tried to be someone who didn't go on a date and ditch in the middle to fight crime. Someone who didn't fall asleep on a roller coaster.

He did try.]

Sorry. So, um... changing topics? Sports, weather, gossip?

[Blaine chuckles a bit] We can talk about how awesome ice cream is?

Ice cream is amazing. [He laughs, getting up from the couch and grabbing it from the fridge. Screw bowls, he got out two spoons and came back over.]

Let's be honest. Relationships are hard work.

Oh god, they so are.... TV lied to us.

Movies and books should have prepared us for how a relationship really is... but all I learned from them is that everyone gets a happily ever after, and sometimes if you get sick, a kiss from a prince will wake you up.

[Snorts in laughter, taking a big spoonful and sticking it in his mouth.]
