:D

Mm...drool-worthy? I have absolutely no idea. But I told him he was perfect last night and now I'm sort of just like "well that's great."

I don't think he does either, which is nice. He just wants me to love him.

[theplaymaker]

:(

You were half-asleep, weren't you? Because I remember a time you went on about his body for ten minutes before passing out mid-sentence.

Aw. It will be fine, Ryan, I believe that.

[choreographics]

It'll be good for you now stop that.

Of course I was, I do and say a lot of ridiculous things when I'm half-asleep, you know that. Remember the time I rambled about your glasses for half an hour when I was sleeping in your dormroom? Also I'd probably go on about his body even if I wasn't on the verge of falling asleep, that man has an amazing body it's kind of not fair.

Strangely I'm believing it too. We just...work.

[theplaymaker]

:((((((

I know that. It's even worse than when you're drunk, probably. Although they're very stylish glasses. And all of his body? ...actually, I take that back, I'll live the rest of my life happily without knowing certain details about Chad Danforth's body.

Now I can finally write you a proper love song!

[choreographics]

Even if I said that his abs are lickable? I want to do weird things to his abs, why am I so weird sometimes? Please explain that.

You're telling me you haven't before? Wow. I'm shocked.

[theplaymaker]

I don't believe wanting to lick Chad's abs is all that weird. I mean, count me out, but I'm sure you could find lots of like-minded cheerleaders, if you cared to. There were some lists on the girls' bathrooms back at East High.

I only have unhappy love songs and Kelsi I like Jack but ChadChadChadChad songs, much less romantic.

[choreographics]

Wait what kind of lists?

Oh come on, you don't have THAT many songs with me whining about Jack and Chad do you? That's not cool.

[theplaymaker]

You know. Rankings.

I don't have any songs about it! Well, maybe one. But I've never written it down, just know the chorus by heart. It's therapeutic.

[choreographics]

...wait where did I rank?

I'm so glad my pain provides you with such inspiration. Well here's a new song for you. I miss him a lot already. And you. How do you write a song about that?

[theplaymaker]

There were categories. You were always best dresser!

Oh, come on, Ry. That's what all the greatest love songs are about, longing. We can definitely work with that.

[choreographics]

Even all of the girls at East knew I was gay, didn't they.

You're right. You could write the next modern version of "Hopelessly Devoted to You." When do I get to choreograph a dance routine based on YOUR relationship issues?

[theplaymaker]

They all wanted you as their gay best friend, yes. But it was fun, actually, best hair, most gorgeous eyes, nicest ass, stuff like that. You'd have had plenty to contribute.

I can choreograph that all by myself, since it would consist of staring at the ground, keeping all limbs to myself and shifting slightly from one foot to the other. ;)

[choreographics]

And you still dated me anyway? You're a saint. I guess I should have broken into the girls' bathroom when we were at East.

Oh come now. That's not choreography, that's insulting. By the way we're picking up dance lessons for you when I get back! I want to teach you how to do the foxtrot.

[theplaymaker]

I don't know about saint, but no one at all of East High could compare with your smoothness. I was the queen of getting asked to prom, mine was the most romantic. I didn't even know that was a category.

How very nice to know that you think my dating life is insulting! ;) And I can dance. But yes, that sounds like fun, let's do it.

[choreographics]

I was raised to be a gentleman thank you very much. But I think it also helps that I genuinely did have a crush on you for a while. It was a weird, weird time in my life. Not that you're weird. Or that we were weird. You know what I mean.

I think a lot of things are insulting when it comes to dating and dancing and if you would just let me help a little I could enhance your dating life a lot. I seem to be better at fixing everyone else's problems but not my own. It'll be great. I'm not back in town until right before Christmas though, I think our last show is actually in New York on Christmas Eve.

[theplaymaker]

You are a perfect gentleman! Or were with me, anyway, you might be kind of a dirty bugger otherwise. It#s alright, Ryan, I know what was weird and what was great.

I don't think I really want to date, but I'd never say no to you teaching me something to do with dancing. Within reason, some things are out of my league. And oh my God, is it really? I'll have to be back in Albuquerque with my parents but maybe Chad can be there and maybe it snows and you can kiss in New York for the first time when it snows on Christmas Eve!

[choreographics]

Hey, I say please and thank you in bed. That sort of thing carries over :P But I'm glad you understand that you were a strange phenomenon in my life…

What sort of things are out of your league when you have me as a partner, Kels? Come on.

…hahaha. And everyone says Troy and Gabi are the Disney couple? I don't think it's going to magically work out that way, as much as I wouldn't mind. We'll see. That's a little too perfect.

[theplaymaker]

I'm sure your parents would be proud of your manners if they knew. And no worried, I'm fully aware of my strangeness. ;)

Anything that requires a lot of bendiness, for one thing.

You'll be the second Disney couple. Though maybe with a higher rating. Just wait and see! I guess it would depend a bit on if he'll go see his family for Christmas.

[choreographics]

Probably, but I'm keeping up the illusion that I'm still a total virgin. The last thing I need is my parents trying to be supportive about gay sex. I adore your strangeness though.

People can learn how to bend! I did.

Hopefully he does. I don't want him to be awkward around his family now that he's out to them, you know? Especially since he ran away to California after that and now is planning on running away to New York. We'll probably talk about it in a few months.

[theplaymaker]

What are you gonna do if your parents ever get on Facebook? But your parents probably would be supportive. I can just see it. It's hilarious, but it's not my parents, so that helps.

You've been practicing since kindergarten!

Yeah, that's a good idea. You can ask him about it in October or November, if he doesn't bring it up himself. I don't really know how his parents are with the whole gay-thing, I think not even Troy knows.

[choreographics]

They would be, that's the sad part. Sharpay already threatened to email them a lot of pictures of me and Jack but she won't.

So?? Irrelevant!

He sort of vaguely told me but I'll ask him later when we're not still on thin ice. I don't feel like crashing and burning when we just started something again, you know? I want to be careful this time.

[theplaymaker]

It means you have a head start! I know I didn't grow much since kindergarten, but I actually am as old as you.

That's probably a good idea. Talk it out if he brings it up, but don't force it. I don't really know his parents, but, well, no one in Albuquerque is like your parents, I'm pretty sure. I just know they're friends with Troy's parents and remembering how Coach Bolton freaked out over Troy just wanting to do anything other than play basketball at first...

[choreographics]

I happen to like that you're tiny, for the record.

Yeah that's probably my best bet to not making him uncomfortable. I want to make this as easy as possible and if that means not talking about a lot of the obvious issues, so be it. I think it helps that a lot of our relationship is going to be based on not seeing each other for a while. And I know…my parents are great. I could probably tell them I wanted to get a sex change to be more like Sharpay and they'd just deal with it. It's sort of horrifying.

But if Chad's parents are anything like Coach Bolton…yikes. I don't remember if I ever told you this, but one day when Shar and I stayed late to run a rehearsal for something we were passing the gym and heard Coach Bolton and Troy actually yelling at each other about Troy's future. It's not surprising he totally veered off on a different path in the end.

[theplaymaker]

I like it sometimes, sometimes it's terrible. Very context-based.

You can ease into it all. I'd say you ought to discuss most things before December, but you have time until then. Become a bit more secure in what you're doing first. Did your parents say anything about you kissing Chad, actually? Just curious.

It was kind of the thing with him wanting Troy to become everything he would have wanted for himself, it's always scary when parents do that. I'm glad Troy found Gabriella, because he's so much more and he should be able to be. But yeah, Troy and Chad are practically brothers, so I imagine even if his parents are less like Coach Bolton, it's pretty obvious Chad looks up to him.

[choreographics]

I think it's great all the time, so my opinion trumps yours xoxo

I know…we'll have to. I'll talk to him maybe around Thanksgiving, see where we are. As for my parents? Mom literally looked at me and told me that the interpretation of Link having a thing for Seaweed was very unique. My own mother was making fun of me. I think that means they're okay with it. Why my parents are so cool and yet so freaky I don't know.

This is why I'm glad Mom and Dad said Sharpay and I could be anything we wanted to be. But yeah, Coach Bolton watched Chad grow up too. I can only imagine he's terrified of his opinion, too. I hate the idea of him being terrified of anything though. Gabriella's been great for Troy…hopefully I can be just as great for Chad.
