Text: I need permission from you to get a job off campus, apparently... I want to volunteer at the vet clinic. Can you tell the heads it's okay? Please?

Text: If you feel you’re ready for that, of course. But the moment it becomes too much or your studies fall behind you’re gonna need to cut back or potentially quit. Those are my conditions.

[submissivexblaine]

Text: why wouldn’t I be ready? For the first time in my life I feel like I have an attainable career goal. I promise I won’t fall behind in school.

[domprofanderson]

Text: I’ll do what I can to support you then, Blaine. I just… Worry about you sometimes. You’re still the same adorable little kid from over a decade ago to me. Can’t help it.

Text: If there’s anything you need, you have my support. I’ll speak with Max next time I see him and let them know you have permission.

[submissivexblaine]

Text: If it helps, I don’t much enjoy growing up either. But I’ve gotta do it sometime. Besides… I prefer the way things are now to the way they were ten years ago.

Text: Thank you. It means a lot to me.

[domprofanderson]

Text: Me too, B. Me too.

[PM] We need to talk specifics.. I've already reached out to your parents, but intend to call them later this week and I want to make sure we're on the same page.

[PM] Certainly, Sir. I trust you to make everything perfect, but I’m happy to talk about it if you’d like.

[domprofanderson]

[PM] Hsve I told you lately that I love you? ;)

[domprofanderson]

PM: Will you like to have dinner with me. Just you and me.

Text: I’m a little worn still from the last two weeks, but some time next week would be fine, sure.

Text: Is there any particular reason for it being just the two of us?

[domprofanderson]

Text: Actually… We should discuss this more in person, but I was wondering if you’d like to help develop the first year curriculum and help teach it? I want to revamp a lot now that I’ll be going into a full year here, and you have excellent experience to bring to the table.

[chloe-eva-lynn]

Text: Teach as in teach teach? I mean I know I won’t be a teacher but you want me to do more than help out in class?

[domprofanderson]

Text: If you’re interested in the opportunity, yes. I thought you might enjoy the chance to do more than be a glorified demonstration partner and help kids who are struggling during class and office hours.  Text: If I’m mistaken-- by all means i mean no pressure and you’re welcome to decline the offer. I would still like to have you as my TA for fall regardless.

[domprofanderson]

Text: Thank you for understanding… I could be agreeable to that.

[chloe-eva-lynn]

Text: Yay! I’m super excited about what we can do this term. I remember how detailed you were this past one and I can only imagine what you have in mind for the students this upcoming year. Is there anything you wish for me to do?

[domprofanderson]

Text: What Blaine chooses to share.. I’m glad he’s talking to someone about it and not bubbling it up– but I’d prefer if the conversation was well.. I’m not ready to talk about it, I’m afraid. If you have any curiosities, you’re welcome to ask Drew and Blaine anything regarding the events– but as for me… As I said, I’d rather not discuss it. 

Text: I’ve done what I can.. at this point we just need to move forward and hope that things improve.

[chloe-eva-lynn]

Text: I understand. 

Text: Will you like to maybe sit around and talk about the upcoming term? It can serve as a distraction if one’s needed.

[domprofanderson]

Text: Thank you for understanding... I could be agreeable to that.

[dtennantphotos]

[domprofanderson]

Text: so can you just kinda sum up everything the court decided? In less legal jargon and more plain language please?

Text: This is really something we should talk about in person, squirt. The important thing is you’re okay now and you’re going to be okay down the road as well. You’re safe.

[submissivexblaine]

Text: Okay. When should we meet up?

[domprofanderson]

TL Text: Whenever you’re free. My schedule’s wide open, bud.

[submissivexblaine]

Text: Dinner tonight?

[domprofanderson]

TL Text: Sure.

[domprofanderson]

[PM] Sir, where are you? I need to speak with you urgently.

[PM] What’s wrong, sweetheart? I was just doing a workout in the studio-- I can meet you somewhere if you need me to.

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] Hey babe.. Please don't freak, but can we push back stuff like.. a week? Or like a week and a day.. days.. or so with that.. The ceremony and reception and stuff?

[F2F] … Whatever you want, Sir.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] Other things?

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] Other things that I’d really prefer not to get into, Sir.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] Very well. I need to go drop a few papers off in the Headmaster’s office right now, but when I come back I expect you stripped and kneeling at the foot of our bed, understood? This avoidance isn’t permitted, Drew. I gave you the opportunity to air any grievances and you’ve avoided several opportunities.. If you’re this uncomfortable being open with me, it’s a sign we still have a lot to work on.

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] Hey babe.. Please don't freak, but can we push back stuff like.. a week? Or like a week and a day.. days.. or so with that.. The ceremony and reception and stuff?

[F2F] … Whatever you want, Sir.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] About our upcoming ceremony and making it official?

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] Among other things, yes.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] Other things?

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] Hey babe.. Please don't freak, but can we push back stuff like.. a week? Or like a week and a day.. days.. or so with that.. The ceremony and reception and stuff?

[F2F] … Whatever you want, Sir.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] Perhaps I wouldn’t be so ridiculous if I didn’t feel the attitude coming off you in waves that has me doubting. I’m going to ask you one more time, Drew- is everything alright?

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] I am… perhaps… feeling a bit stressed at the moment, Sir.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] About our upcoming ceremony and making it official?

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] Hey babe.. Please don't freak, but can we push back stuff like.. a week? Or like a week and a day.. days.. or so with that.. The ceremony and reception and stuff?

[F2F] … Whatever you want, Sir.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] Drew if you don’t stop replying to me like a teenager, I’m going to ban the use of the word fine from our conversations. I have every intention to claim you– but in order to do that, we need to have clear communication. Do you understand? …I know it’s not okay. Is there anything I can do to make this up to you? Is.. Is everything alright? You still want this- us.. right?

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] Of course I still want our claim, Sir. Don’t be ridiculous.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] Perhaps I wouldn’t be so ridiculous if I didn’t feel the attitude coming off you in waves that has me doubting. I’m going to ask you one more time, Drew- is everything alright?

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] … Whatever you want, Sir.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] That’s.. it? No fuss? Drew… I.. I’m sorry. I really am– I know how much you wanted it right at the two month mark. I promise though I didn’t intend to push it back. 

[mrdrewclark]

[F2F] It’s fine, Sir. Just– it is fine.

[domprofanderson]

[F2F] Drew if you don't stop replying to me like a teenager, I’m going to ban the use of the word fine from our conversations. I have every intention to claim you-- but in order to do that, we need to have clear communication. Do you understand? ...I know it’s not okay. Is there anything I can do to make this up to you? Is.. Is everything alright? You still want this- us.. right?
