A New Friend

Blaine waits patiently at the bottom of the stoop to Sebastian’s building, shivering both from the cold in his bones and the excitement thrumming through him because today he is adopting his very own cat. 

He has never had a pet of his own aside from his short-lived goldfish in the second grade—both his of parents are allergic to both cats and dogs, and Kurt was never very open to the idea of an animal in the apartment. Sam, however, is just as excited as he is, having made promise to pick out a cute one before he ran out the door that morning.

Just a few minutes ago, Blaine shot off a text alerting Sebastian of his arrival, and a bright smile spreads wide on his face the moment his boyfriend makes his appearance, exiting the building and meeting him at the bottom of the stairs.

Blaine steps on his tip toes for a kiss, holding out a gloved hand for the other to hold, “It looks like we’ll be in search of a feline friend today—hopefully Taco doesn’t get too jealous,” He hums, “Evidently the pet fee in my building is $200 more for a dog, and Sam’s sort of worried one might tear up the place, anyway.”

stuck;

Once again, this is Spencer’s fault that he’s in this predicament. He love upstate New York, how beautiful and woodsy it is, especially in the winter time with snow and ice patches--but not when he doesn’t have a ride back to the city. He rode up here with another artist from Spencer’s gallery but that person bailed from a meeting they were having (once again, he needs to stop doing favors for Spencer’s galley or at least get paid for it) and now he’s stuck with no easy way back home.

“Why don’t you call Max?” Spencer asks lazily which just makes his blood boil.

“I’m up here for you.” And besides, he’s not exactly...talking to Max at the moment. Not since that night with Noelle and he’s made out with his ex not once but multiple times as more drinks flowed.

He doesn’t know where he stands with anyone but he knows he doesn’t want to talk about it. At least right now.

“Oh, right,” Spencer licks his lips. “Yeah, be there soon. Hold tight, Riles.”

Spencer hangs up before Riley can say anything and smiles to himself, dialing Noelle’s number and bringing the phone up to his ear as he sits in his gallery office.

“Okay, so are you done being mad at me for something I didn’t do?”

heading back home

Blaine was nervous about going back to New York--if he had it his way, he’d escape with Sebastian in Ohio and move back somewhere else. The last thing he wants to do is talk with Jake, even though he knows he has to. It’s going to be ugly and the last thing he wants to do is hurt someone who’s been nothing but kind and supportive to him but...

He turns to look at Sebastian, staying in the other’s apartment before he has to go back to his own.

“Do you think he’s going to hate me?”

It’s been a long month after visiting his mother, and oddly enough, they find a rhythm. They continue to live together in rooms down the hall from one another even though Nix considers getting a different apartment. It feels odd to live here, even though this house is his.

Oscar came to live with him. And like he figured; he used his key when Nix was under the water with Cecil, gathered up his things and left the key on the kitchen counter.

Nix found it when he got home...and didn’t know how to feel. Is it right to be heartbroken when you’ve done the breaking? He isn’t sure. None of this is fair. He’s caused a lot of problems--even after five years of breaking up. He put the key in his pocket, kept it there for a week and then gave it to Cecil.

Even though the young demon doesn’t really need a key to get in, it’s the thought that counts. Cecil is a part of his life now, a part of his house, his roommate, his friend; they’re moving on together.

It’s time they start acting like it.

So yeah, he’d like a new place but it’s not in the cards right now. Maybe he can make this place theirs again in a different way. Most of the time he just decides not to think about it.

He sighs as he pulls his car into the driveway of his place, turning the engine off. A yawn slips out of his lips as he stretches, arms over his head, cracking his neck. Rough day at the aquarium but worth every second.

A mother shark had babies and he had to help with delivery--or well, he didn’t have to help...usually run of the mill workers weren’t allowed to help higher ups like that, especially doctors who came to check on their fish. But the mother shark was so calm when Nix went to visit her...that the doctor insisted on him staying.

The doctor couldn’t believe the difference between when Nix was around the tank and when he wasn’t...but what could he say? He just had that effect on sharks.

Nix pushes open the front door and throws his keys into a small dish on one of the coffee tables before taking his jacket off. Fuck, it smells good. Cecil is cooking something...thai from what he can tell. Must be following a recipe as close as he can because the kid fucks up pasta.

“Whatever you’re making smells amazing...”

He turns the corner and pauses. Oh. It’s Cecil alright but he’s...in a long white lace skirt that Nix bought him and a red bralette. Jesus. He didn’t expect him in that.

Usually when Nix finds Cecil at home he’s wearing oversized sweaters or something of Nix’s that he’s let him borrow; warm and comfy and long. This is not that at all.

“You look...” He leans against the doorframe. “Wow.”

I'm glad you came

Tagging: Rachel Berry, Brody and Addison Weston

Time frame: Spring Break (April)

Location: New York City

.

Rachel:

Rachel, Brody and Addie stood in front of the building she had lived in from the time she was 4 until she was 16. Having not been in there since she left after her mom died, it was hard for her to step in and go up. The plane ride to New York had been smooth and thankfully Addie seemed to still be in a good mood and it was too cold in the city, slightly chilly but nothing any of the three of them could handle as they stood out on the sidewalk. "I've lost the ability to move." She whispered scared to go up, it was a bad idea to do this no matter how many times Brody said that she needed to. Her breathing sped up and she looked at her boyfriend for some sort of help.

Sneaking Around | Charlie and Hannah

Hannah quickly pulled on her black pea coat over her cream-colored long sleeved shirt, sliding her boots back on as she brushed out her hair. Her green eyes scanned her reflection in the mirror before she quickly left her dorm. Her plan was to sneak into Charlie's room but she didn't particularly feel like breaking in. As soon as she got to his dorm, she knocked just to see if he had gotten there before her, before walking over to the wall and sliding down it. She pulled her knees to her chest, feeling a tad bit better than how she had been the last few days but not fully feeling like herself.
