“If I can do an ‘80s song, I will do an ‘80s song. Every week.”

[sleepwalker-sky]

“Naomi and I bonded partly over our love of 80s music. And this has always been one of my favorite songs. Maybe because I’m adopted. I don’t know.”

B: Tuesday night sounds perfect.

B: No. Uh. So. Sam told me he loves me. And we had sex.

S: Congratulations, B! That's wonderful.

S: Assuming you love him back.

S: And that you told him so.

kitty: optimism is ridiculous.

kitty: it makes it easier /for/ people to screw you over.

sky: if you're easily screwed over, you're easily screwed over. no matter that attitude.

sky: but if i go into things thinking they'll probably be okay, i get to spend a decent chunk of time feeling good. if you go in waiting for the bad things to happen, you never get to feel good about anything.

heyjudemitchell‌:

Anyone else surprised that their family has shown up for family weekend this weekend or is it just me? I just can’t believe my dad and grandparents have flown out here from California just to see the performance tonight and spend a couple of days with me before they fly back.

If my parents showed up for family weekend, I’d think they’d been killed and replaced by alien clones or something. That’s not them... It’ll never ever happen. But congratulations on the surprise for you. I’m assuming it’s a good thing?

Naomi: You are always full of so many great points and ideas, I don't know how you do it.

Naomi: Mhm you think so? I mean it can take a too cute person to know one.

Naomi: You know that is a really good idea! I mean I would have a hard time turning you down but I may be a bit biased.

Naomi: Don't worry, my lips are sealed.

Sky: I'm going to set my phone aside and just lay here with you until Jiji needs a walk. It's my favorite place to be.

[sets his phone down and snuggled up against her side, closing his eyes as she texts Rachel]

Naomi: We really are, and I am so glad we were able to admit how we felt.

Naomi: I like the sound of that, I mean we won't know until we try.

[takes a moment to run her fingers through his hair with her open hand]

Naomi: You are too cute you know that right?

Naomi: She really is a great girl. I am lucky to know her. But I believe that you will pull through or maybe you two could share the title.

Sky: Exactly. We can always try, and even if we don't succeed, the trying will be a lot of fun.

Sky: You're too cute. I'm cute enough. :P

Sky: I'm going to keep reminding Blaine that he's known me longer. Or mention the Warbler code or something.

Sky: But I would share it with her. Don't tell Blaine.

Naomi: That is good, I am so glad about that because I could never get sick of you either.

Naomi: I know, a few days just feels so long. Not any amount of kisses or snuggles can make it easier.

Naomi: She is doing good, she is breaking out of her shell and is really happy about it.

Sky: Then we're a perfect match.

Sky: But we'll definitely try.

[turns onto his side to rest his forehead against her arm for a moment before texting again]

Sky: I really like Rachel. Even if I'm suddenly competing with her for best man status.

Naomi: Mhm it all started with talking about how great it was to be spending so much time with you the last couple days. It is a mixture of feeling so lucky and hoping you don't get sick of me.

Naomi: You think so? I am glad you like it.

Naomi: I didn't think it was possible for my face to get any more red but you did it. But Rachel thinks it is pretty cute too.

Sky: I don't think I know how to get sick of you.

Sky: I'm going to miss you so much, and it's only for a couple of days.

Sky: Rachel's not wrong. How is she?

Naomi: If it isn't the most handsome guy ever.

Naomi: And what a coincidence because I was just going on and on about how great you are.

Sky: Is that why you're blushing?

Sky: It's a cute look, you know.

Sky: I hope whoever you're talking to knows you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

Naomi: Okay good, that will give us more than enough time until she chooses to forgive you.

Naomi: Of course. I will be so excited for you to be back, when you do we could watch some movies. Wind down from everything.

Sky: I'll be all yours for at least a day. Jiji holds a grudge! But I'm glad. You're the one I'm going to miss most, but we won't tell her that.

Sky: Yes please. And maybe start talking about Halloween costumes.

Naomi: You think so? Well good, that makes me really happy to hear.

Naomi: That sounds like a great plus.

Naomi: That and you will be getting to come back to two ladies who will be so very happy to see you. But I may have to claim the spot of the first person to hug and kiss you.

Sky: You won't have to fight Jiji for that. She's going to sulk and ignore me at first, so I'm all yours.

Sky: And I appreciate that you won't be sulking and ignoring me.

Naomi: Okay good. Because you are stuck with me and hearing it for a very long time. A wonderful dream at that isn't it?

Naomi: But you will be back, and it is just a weekend. When you get back we can have a night or day just for us to make up for the lost time. It is true though, it is for goo reason. I can't imagine just sitting and not knowing the answer.

Sky: Being stuck with you for a long time sounds perfect.

Sky: I will be back. And I won't have to see my parents.

Sky: Always a plus as far as I'm concerned.
