HARTLEY 📱 ELLIOTT

Elliott: Yes, we should. I can send a car for you, if you want.

Elliott: Yeah, definitely. I would like that a lot. A discussion. A date. Whatever gives me the chance to see your face.

Elliott: Well, I...

Elliott: How would you feel about...

Elliott: Would you want to come back to New York with me for a couple of weeks?

Hartley: Okay, if that's the fastest way to see you.

Hartley: This all sounds so heavy.

Hartley: Oh, but it's not. I think it could be nice to go with you. I know you've been here for a while now, you have stuff to take care of. I can take time off.

[askthehartleyharris]

HARTLEY 📱 ELLIOTT

Elliott: Hi, I miss you too.

Elliott: Oh yeah? But, what if I wanted to take /you/ out on a date?

Elliott: Actually, I've been needing to talk to you about something...

Hartley: We should do something about that. ASAP.

Hartley: Oh yeah? That's a quandary I'm more than happy to discuss.

Hartley: Oh? About what?

[askthehartleyharris]

HARTLEY 📱 ELLIOTT

Hartley: Hi. I miss you.

Hartley: I'd like to take you out on another date.

[askthehartleyharris]

HARTLEY 📱 ELLIOTT

Elliott: You don't even have to ask.

Elliott: I would too. Both.

Hartley: What are you doing tonight?

[askthehartleyharris]

Is there anything you’ve always wanted to do?

Travel. Be in love. Interpret for something big, like a Broadway musical or a concert. I used to think I wanted to dye my hair some fun color, but I chickened out and haven’t done it. 

[askthehartleyharris]

why did your last relationship end?

I haven’t been in too many relationships, but gossip is a big answer. Whenever I get close to someone within my community, it doesn’t take long before I hear everything that everyone I know has ever heard about that person. Everyone says their opinions. Meddling happens. It’s a thing.

[askthehartleyharris]

do you consider yourself to be a hopeless romantic?

Yes. I think that everyone is, to some degree, whether they admit it or not. I know that asexual and aromantic people exist, but romance doesn’t have to be defined by anyone but yourself. Perhaps you don’t like the typical romance, but someone putting you first (among other simple, nonrelationship exclusive things) is something that everyone wants to some degree. Maybe you don’t want to get married, or be serenaded on a date, but I bet you’d still like it if someone thought about you while they were out and brought something back for you. Or if they thought about you first when planning an outing with you. Maybe you don’t think that’s romance, maybe I see romance in too many different lights. I think your best friend can do something romantic for you. Or even a stranger. Romance is something that makes you feel love, I think that can translate into a lot of different actions.

HARTLEY 📱 ELLIOTT

Hartley: Will you duet with me?

Hartley: For this challenge. But also, I'd like that in general.

[askthehartleyharris]

ELLIOTT📱HARTLEY

Elliott: You read my mind, handsome.

Elliott: Just for clarification purposes though, you are...

Elliott: I mean, you're okay with it being a date?

Hartley: I'm glad to hear it. You think I'm handsome?

Hartley: Yes, I am. I'm more than okay with that. I want that. I really like you, Elliott. I'm glad you stayed behind in Ohio after the festival. Was that for me?

Story time…I was at the doggy park with Romeo, when some big ole brute decides they wants to try and bully my dog! Nope! Not on my watch. I ask the own to please put their dog on a leash, they become really rude, like I had Bruno staring at me asking if I needed him to intervene. Anyways turns out that Brute was a Brutess and she was trying to mount my poor baby. I am so not ready to be a grandmother! I might have to get him fixed, this is not the first time a dog has come sniffing around my baby. I named him Romeo for a reason.

I think someone in your group works for a vet clinic, you could ask around and probably get some good info.

ELLIOTT📱HARTLEY

Elliott: Hey there you!

Elliott: Are you busy tonight?

Hartley: Hey you!

Hartley: Busy going on a date with you, hopefully.

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.

You used to do an online talk show, didn’t you? Brittany Pierce? I think that was you. I’m Hartley Harris, past tense glee clubber from Haverbrook and present tense teacher and glee coach there.

Hi there,

I had to say hello because I remember competing with your show choir in high school. Not sure when you competed, I was in the Class of 2012, I think? Wow that feels like a long time ago. One day my teacher brought the Haverbrook team over and we signed “Imagine” by John Lennon together. It was magical for us. Most of the Haverbrook kids seemed happy to teach us, so we were so relieved. Some of the more cynical in our group thought we were be hated because one of us would surely accidentally say or do something offensive. But everyone was lovely. Really special in my memory. I thought you appreciate hearing about it. I just came back from that Ohio Arts Carnival Sue Sylvester put on in my hometown and I’m feeling very nostalgic, can you tell?

And I’m feeling extra passionate about the arts, so I want to thank you for doing what you do in the community. It can’t always be easy to be hearing impaired, so having the arts is extra important, I would think. I think it’s extra important to anyone who has any challenge. People forget that too often and end up drinking or doing other unhealthy things, To answer your question, these days my favorite singing in the shower song is Ces Soirees-La, the opening song to the musical Jersey Boys. It’s December 1963 in French. Very catchy!

Hi! I remember that, I was there. There’s nothing wrong with a little nostalgia. You don’t have to thank me. This is something that I’m passionate about and I’m glad to do it. Those are good answers! It was good to hear from you. How are you doing now?

[askthehartleyharris]

what is your dream date?

That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th, because it's not too hot, not too cold. If you get the reference, you win the crown.

[askthehartleyharris]

greatest regret?

Not traveling to see the world. I feel like it’s a little too late for it now. The perfect time was probably right after high school, before college. Or right after college, before taking on a job.

With no regard for his headache Elliott began to move around the home he was renting for the next couple of weeks, heading to the kitchen to gather a bottle of wine and two glasses. Then, he unlocked the door and sent Hartley a text to come in as soon as he arrived before laying down on the couch in the living room. He sat up a little when he heard the door open, and when Hartley entered he smiled and waved, moving his legs to give the other room to sit down. “Hi!” He signed. “How are you? Thank you for coming.” Even though his signing was a little slow, and awkward, Elliott had been practicing since the first time he and Hartly had hung out. “I’m happy to see you. How are you feeling?”

@askthehartleyharris

Knowing that he was expected to come in, Hartley did just that, though he looked around cautiously as he did so, almost like he was expecting someone to pop out and tell him he’d done something wrong. That only lasted for a few steps though, and when he found Elliott all nerves washed away. The signing caught his eye and he couldn’t help but smile. Hi! He signed back, making his way to sit next to the other man. He pulled out the oils he’d brought with him and set the messenger bag aside. Good. You? Thank you for inviting me. You sign? Hartley didn’t simcom, so it would help to communicate knowing that Elliott had picked up some ASL. Hartley had an app on his phone for those that didn’t. The oil was picked up and he poured some onto his fingertips and rubbed them to heat them. I’ll start on your neck, okay? More rubbing to reheat, then he scooted closer to move to rub the back of Elliott’s neck in gentle but deep circles.

HARTLEY ✉️ ELLIOTT

Elliott: I think you're great. People are usually this nice. At least not genuinely. But I know you are.

Elliott: I'd like you to. Good, I'll get it ready for us. I'll see you soon. Be safe, Hartley.

Hartley: Maybe they are. Is there something you want to talk about? That sounds incredibly negative for you.

Hartley: I will, I promise.
