A story told in texting. flashbacks and current day. Story and chapter titles all come from "Cartography" by Seanan McGuire. This is my first story so any praise or constructive criticism will keep the muse at work.
Prologue - I Am a Cartographer At Heart
Prologue. Yep, it's all texting. Nope, the rest of the story won't be all texting. I love those stories but this is not that kind of story. :)
Comments are love!

I swear to you. If I have to work with this client for one more day, I'm going to... Ugh.
To: Sebastian
Is this the one who clearly has no friends? The one who wears those terrible overalls to your meetings?
To: Kurt
The ONE with no friends, really? They all dress like they shop at the tackiest of thrift stores. You would be sickened. This is the same one I was working with all weekend. I am just sick to death of this case.
To: Sebastian
I know, love. They don't deserve to be represented by you. I missed you this morning.
To: Kurt
Don't I know it. You and B were wrapped around each other like starfish as soon as I was out of the bed.
To: Sebastian
The bed is big and cold without you in it.
To: Kurt
Not with Blaine the Human Torch, it isn't, I swear that boy was a radiator in a past life. Cold is getting dressed at 5:30am on a Monday morning in the dark, while the loves of your life snuggle closer to each other and you don't get goodbye kisses.
To: Sebastian
That was almost B level of cheesy, love. You can always wake me up for goodbye kisses though. I'm sure B wouldn't mind either.
To: Kurt
I am not waking either of you up that god-awful early! You would be an absolute bitch and B wouldn't let me leave. That way lies temptation and madness. I've gotta get back to this bastard now though, babe. Thanks for helping me get my mind off things for a few. I needed it.
To: Sebastian
Anytime, love. And I'm never a bitch...usually. ;) You home for dinner tonight? I'll make you something wonderful!
To: Kurt
Ah, tease! I wish, but I'll be here until at least 11. If I don't kill someone first. Warm up the bed for me though. ;)
To: Sebastian
No homicide, I need you and your gorgeous legs for my show next month. You're irreplaceable. I'll leave the bed-warming to B but there will be meatloaf for you in the fridge when you get home if you want it. 3
To: Blaine
Seb is having a particularly terrible day. Did he text you?
To: Kurt
Nope, I think he knows you handle his bad moods better, I just get too mushy for him. How is your day though? xx
To: Blaine
If I ever see another sequin again I will scream. I will never use them again. I am outlawing them on our spring line.
To: Kurt
Well, we both know that isn't true. You have never been able to stay mad at sequins for long but you did go a bit crazy with them this time around. I think you just can't resist a good sequin snowflake on a winter gown.:) xx
To: Blaine
Shut up. Remind me why I married you?
To: Kurt
Dashing, charming, amazing cuddler, sucks like a hoover... ring any bells? xx
To: Blaine
BLAINE! I'm working! And besides, reminding me why I love Seb so much just doesn't help your case. ;) xx
To: Kurt
Well, they may be true of him too, but that's why you love us both so much. Your beloved David and Goliath. (And, really xx's from you? Surprised) xx
To: Blaine
You bring out the worst in me, what can I say. And with that extra helping of cheese, I am headed home to make dinner for you pains in my ass, I mean darlings. No I really do mean pains in my ass! 3 See you at home.
To: Kurt
I'll be there soon after you, I can help! I know, I can already hear "Hands off me and my knives, Anderson!" See you soon. xx
To: Sebastian
3 xxxxx
To: Blaine
I love you too, B. Thanks.
