that smaller part that somehow always got the deciding vote in his actions whispered ‘then what?’. And it stumped Finn every time. I love this concept - so true to my own experiences at times - and it seems to fit exactly why I love this fic, and this little 'verse, so much. As much fun as it is to see Finn and Will coming together, all fucking and fiery passion; there's something equally strong about this slow, but strong attraction and all the restraint and mindgames as Finn tries to come to terms with it.

Kurt took a shuddering breath. “Yep,” he said softly. “Definitely gay.”

“I thought we’d already established that?” Mercedes asked.

“Always good to double check,” Kurt replied, pulling his iphone out to surreptitiously take a photo.

Mercedes gave him a look. “You going to check before bed tonight?”

“And again in the morning,” Kurt replied.And this. It's hard sometimes to sexualize characters realistically, even when there's evidence in canon. You get it so great here, the banter between the characters and the subtle line in

I think there's something so adorable about a character wanting something, and being being so very unsure about it.

I know where I want to go with this 'verse next. It's just a matter of getting there :/

Okay I really love this universe. And I really love the mental image of Will looking up at Finn at the end and not saying anything.

And I love how Will interacts with the club, especially at the points where they're all kind of ganging up on him and he just kind of smiles and complies, and how they don't filter themselves too much around him like they'd normally do with teachers. It kind of sums up Will really well.

Plus, the Will/Sue interactions are hilarious. And I love them all using giant stuffed animals as pillows. And Finn wanting to go in the bathroom but not having the nerve or the excuse. Because Will must have been naked, wet underwear is ew.

One thing I love about the show is how Will's role in relation to the students changes as the kids need it (and as he needs it). I love writing Sue.

I spent a good hour wondering if Finn should go into the bathroom or not, but I decided that the level of embarrassment that would ensue would kill me from embarrassment squick. Our padawan was not yet ready...

First, I have to get the shallow out of my system

[tawg]

I pretty much came up with Kurt's line about Will looking like a cheerleader, and then filled in the fic around it. Kurt has an annoying habit of not shutting up when I write him, but he does come out with some pure gold.

That's exactly how I wanted Finn to come across - young and confused, but at the same time a little mature and focused. I think there's always those moments during attraction where people are thinking "is this flirting? is this normal? Okay, now I am flirting, but did they noticed? Did I want them to notice? Do I want this to change? Gah, I have to go sit in a corner somewhere and have low self-esteem for a while...", which I feel is a lot more fun to watch from the outside than experience from the inside.

Thank you for such a lovely comment :)

We like making Mr. Schue into an object of sexual fantasties? ;)

Matthew Morrison's picture is in my text for my college theatre class. I was freaking out when I saw it. hahaha

But this story was so sweet. I love it when dialogue gets like this all banter-y and flowing and free. It was very awesome.

Seriously this whole fic was perfect!

[tawg]

It's not my fault! He's just so easy to objectify! What context is the pic in?

I'm glad you liked the fic - it was nice to just churn something out and not fret too much about the structure, so I'm glad it read well :)

This was so good - every character was spot on again. Is it greedy to say i realy, really want more :)

Oh and even among many great lines (especially the Kurt line dark dreymer mentioned), i still loved:
“That’s right,” Sue sneered. “Just give up, like you do with everything else in your life. You know, when puppies roll over onto their backs, it’s interpreted as being a sign of trust, a peace offering. It’s also how embowelings happen. Now,” she gestured calmly with the foam ball, “get back up on the board.”

Thanks very much for your comment, and the one on Fund-Razor. Sue is one of my favourite characters, so I get an absolute buzz whenever a good line for her pops into my head. I'm glad they come across as Sue-ish to people other than me :D
