Cory wakes up one morning to find a sheet of paper stuck to his chest with transparent tape. it crinkles and wrinkles while he tries to sit up but he has a smile on his face when he reads the contents of the note. Sure the tape pulls on his chest hairs but he doesnt mind and keeps on reading.

Things I like about you, Cory Monteith
I like the way you scratch your belly when you wake up
I like the way your nose crunches up when you smell something gross
I like the way you look at me when we slow dance
You know when you fed me chicken soup when I was sick in bed? Yeah I liked that
I like when you kiss my temples when its been a long day
I like rehearsing lines with you and you make that silly voice that's supposed to be Chris
I like going to basketball games with you
I like the way you make pancakes on sunday mornings
I like your small teeth even though you hate them
I like waking up with your arms around my waist
I like that when we have friends over they ask us to kiss and you politely say "No thanks"
I like your moan

Im at the store, makin' Italian for dinner! xo

Cory folds the note into fours and bites down on his bottom lip. His favorite boy is making his favorite food, its like a dream. He's looking at the ceiling and then the bed and then the room that he's in. He thinks it is a dream, love notes and Darren's dirty clothes in the same hamper as Cory's and an empty spot next to him where Darren sleeps at night.

A dream for sure. He's asked himself countless times why hasnt he married this man yet because it this would be his life everyday, than he would happily walk down any isle for him. Cory has a beautiful idea, an idea that just might get him extra Italian food tonight

Darren comes home with paper shopping bags filled with sauces and vinaigrettes and everything that they need for the rest of the month. He see's a note taped to the cabinet that Cory keeps the spices and begins to read, already knowing what it might be about

Things I love about you, Darren Criss
I love the way you look in the morning with your hair unkempt and your jaw very stubbly
I love your smile when I make you laugh
I love going to amusement parks and feeding you cotton candy
I love the way you laugh when fan girls get into dumb arguments with each other over the internet
I love the way you look when you're deep in thought
I love kissing you... period.
I love the way your nostrils flare when your angry at Ryan for not putting us in more scenes together
I loved when you insisted that we go to Scotland instead of New York for the summer
I love making pancakes for you on sunday mornings
I love your triangle eyebrows even though everyone teases you for them
I love talking to you about problems at the set and the media on my back.
I love your unstoppable energy
I love making love to you

Darren holds the letter in half and slides it into his back pocket. He's smiling, uncontrollably smiling about the boy he loves that probably watching a football game in the next room.
