Oh, they knew. I'm sure they did.

You know Hartley and the whole deaf thing...

Do you know sign language?

[kurtsy]

I know some... I was in a production he did for deaf kids, so I remember some of that

why do you ask?

[boylikethat]

How do you learn?

Like classes? Anywhere free?

[kurtsy]

there's free classes online and there are also classes taught for free in some rec centres and other places

Hartley knows more about that

do you like him that much?

[boylikethat]

Yeah.

He's special.

I want to sign a song for him.

[kurtsy]

that's so sweet

I bet he'll love it

he loves music a lot, Axel thinks that's half the reason he is grumpy

[boylikethat]

He was sad that he couldn't hear me sing.

He taught me the song title.

Y'know, he composes so well for someone who is deaf

I don't get it.

[kurtsy]

have you ever done any music theory, any composition?

I've tried my hand at it a little bit (I suck, btw)

but you kind of hear the music in your head

and he was a prodigy... there's recordings of him performing when he was four

very Mozart

[boylikethat]

Nah, never did music theory but it's interesting.

I guess it makes sense if you know the notes and what you want to make.

He's so talented. Blows my mind.

Makes me kind of feel like a shitty person

There was a deaf choir at one of the sectionals once and I laughed so hard.

Like super hard.

It was AWFUL

[kurtsy]

empathy is a skill, you know? you can learn that for free too

and you are learning

I know you were put off by Hartley being deaf first time you met him, when him and Axel signed

[boylikethat]

It looked super silly and I had no idea what it was.

I guess my first instinct is to laugh at things I don't get.

I feel bad. It's weird. Like my stomach hurts and I'm unhappy when I think back???

So weird.

[kurtsy]

yes, Sebastian, that is called a bad conscience

you are learning, you'll get there yet

are you in love with Hartley? can I ask that?

[boylikethat]

Huh.

Why'd you ask?

[kurtsy]

I don't know, mostly wondering if I can make pining over Hartley a double feature with you and Axel or if you'd need separate appointments

seriously though, mostly because I've never seen you care about another person before

[boylikethat]

Hartley is special.

I like him. Ever since I met him, it's easier to think.

I think he understands me.

[kurtsy]

you have a similar background in a way

and he likes to fuck the ignorance out of people

according to Axel

[boylikethat]

He can keep going, he hasn't reached my depths.

I'll find new ignorance if I have to.

Are him and Axel a thing or what?

[kurtsy]

Axel is his first

he's who he kissed when his parents found out

I think they are an end game sort of thing

[boylikethat]

Ah. That makes a lot of sense.

They're endgame, huh?

That makes me want Hartley more.

Is that weird?

[kurtsy]

seems about right for you, that's mostly why you want Blaine

I think Hartley's too deep for you, honestly

find someone easier

[boylikethat]

I have some ideas of my own.

I'm almost at your place, I still have my luggage, is that fine?

[kurtsy]

that's fine

Santana lives with Brittany these days so we have the space

you can stay for a while

if you stay off my boyfriend

[boylikethat]

Deal.

I'm kinda over Blaine, I have someone else's happy relationship to ruin.

Be there in 5 mins
