Alex
Is that supposed to be a taco?
Blaine
Yes! He was holding a sign saying, “lettuce celebrate.”
Alex
LOL!
Alex
How’s LA?
Blaine
Nice and warm! Makes me miss Cali when I see the beach.
Alex
I’ve never been to California.
Blaine
I’ll bring you one day.
Blaine
I’ll even take you to Disney.
Blaine
Could go and visit Daddy Vader.
Alex
…
Alex
Did you just call Darth Vader…
Alex
… Daddy?
Blaine
Yeah, he gives major Daddy vibes.
Alex
I…
Alex
I genuinely have no idea what to say right now.
Blaine
Do I give off Daddy vibes?
Alex
Ummm
Alex
No?
Blaine
NO?
Alex
I’d say if anyone on Thunder gave Daddy vibes, it would be Ethan.
Blaine
I AM HURT, ALEX.
Blaine
HURT.
Alex
*cry laughing emoji*
Blaine
ETHAN?
Alex
Yeah, he’s got that dark and mysteriously broody vibe, kinda like if you didn’t behave yourself, he’d bend you over his knee and spank your ass.
Blaine
I… I’m kinda uncomfortable right now?
Blaine
I just snort laughed and he looked me in the eye, and now I’m envisioning him spanking my ass, and I don’t like it.
Alex
You’re welcome :)
Blaine
*angry emoji*
Alex
You won’t stay mad at me for long.
Blaine
Damnit, you’re right.
Blaine
I’m still hurt though.
Alex
I will kiss it better when you’re home.

Blaine
We’re not socks, but I think we’d make a great pair.
Alex
Oh wow.
Alex
That one was really bad! :D
Blaine
I’m still hurt you don’t think I’ve got Daddy vibes.
Blaine
I could spank you just as well as Ethan.
Alex
I didn’t say you wouldn’t.
Blaine
Good.
Blaine
Because I will.
Alex
Spank me?
Blaine
Fuck yeah I will.
Alex
*smirking emoji*
Blaine
Wait... did you only say that to get a rise out of me?
Alex
*angel emoji*
Blaine
Oh, you’re getting it now!
* * *
Alex
I nearly cried during that shoot-out.
Blaine
Me too.
Blaine
I genuinely thought we were a goner.
Alex
Elliot has some insane skills.
Blaine
He’s milking it, that’s for sure.
Alex
He deserves a big reward.
Blaine
He’s being rewarded with an ice cream sundae lol.
Blaine

Alex
LOL looks like he’s really enjoying that.
Blaine
I’m really enjoying the fact that you were watching my game.
Alex
I try to watch all your games.
Blaine
I want you at all of my home games.
Blaine
I want to look up and see you there. Know you’re there for me.

Alex
Finished this custom cake today for a six-year-old's birthday. He’s a big Thunder fan.
Blaine
Holy shit, that’s incredible! You really did that?
Alex
I did! It took me about six hours to get it how I wanted it, but I’m happy with it.
Blaine
I just showed the boys. They said it’s fucking amazing.
Blaine
Can you make one for us?
Blaine
We’ll pay you, obviously.
Alex
Sure :)
Alex
I’ll pencil you in. We’re nearly fully booked with the run-up to the holidays.
Blaine
What are your plans for Christmas?
Alex
My brother and I haven’t really celebrated it since we lost my grandparents, so we’ll probably just chill on the couch and watch some movies.
Blaine
This is probably a bit weird because it’s so soon but…
Blaine
Wanna come to mine? Your bro too?
Alex
Really?
Blaine
Only if you want to, but I’d like you to come.
Alex
That would be really nice, thank you.
Blaine
My parents are coming to town.
Alex
You want me to meet your parents?
Blaine
Um... yeah?
Blaine
Is that weird?
Blaine
Yeah, that’s kinda weird isn’t it?
Alex
Not unless you don't mean it.
Blaine
I mean it.
