I just saw a girl wearing bright yellow leg warmers over purple tartan tights with black hotpants. She did NOT pull it off.
Chase

I'm sorry who is this?
Chase
10/22/2012, 8.30pm
That sounds horrific and hilarious, btw
Unknown number
10/22/2012, 8.32pm
Oh! I'm sorry this is Kurt. From the office.
Unknown number
10/22/2012, 8.33pm
Sorry that must have seemed really weird.
Chase
10/22/2012, 8.40pm
Oh hey Kurt! Sorry I don't know why I didn't have your number – I'm sure I've called you before. Fixed.
Kurt
10/22/2012, 8.42pm
That's ok. I feel a bit silly now. I just didn't know anyone else who would appreciate it.
Kurt
10/22/2012, 8.46pm
Well not anyone I really want to text right now.
Chase
10/22/2012, 8.45pm
Oh I definitely appreciated it. Happy to appreciate random acts of horrifying fashion, anytime.
THURSDAY

Leopard pattern leggings on legs that shouldn't even attempt black leggings. Yikes.
Chase
10/25/2012, 8.03am
Yikes indeed. Your commuter train sounds scary.
Kurt
10/25/2012, 8.06am
Made all the worse by said leggings brushing past me while I was seated. The stitching was cheap and horrible.
Kurt
10/25/2012, 8.08am
I'll be at the office soon
Chase
10/25/2012, 8.10am
Horrendous fashion-induced train delay?
Kurt
10/25/2012, 8.12am
Something like that. Almost there.
SATURDAY
Kurt
10/27/2012, 2.34pm
I just saw a dog in Central Park with a better vest than mine. Jealous.
Chase
10/27/2012, 4.02pm
Impossible
Chase
10/27/2012, 4.04pm
;)
Chase
10/27/2012, 4.12pm
How is your Saturday?
Kurt
10/27/2012, 5.32pm
:) Saturday good. Sorry to be randomly texting, I just don't have an appreciative text audience anymore
Chase
10/27/2012, 5.38pm
I get it. Same thing happened when I broke up with my boyf last year. Discovered I'd ignored my friends for like 8 months
Chase
10/27/2012, 6.28pm
Sorry. I'm sure you haven't ignored your friends.
SUNDAY
Chase
10/28/2012, 1.08pm
I've got one for you – goth girl wearing purple tail hooked to her belt.
Kurt
10/28/2012, 1.11pm
Hey! I have a foxtail that I hook to my belt.
Chase
10/28/2012, 1.14pm
I know, and it's awesome :)
Kurt
10/28/2012, 1.14pm
And I didn't ignore my friends. They're just… a bit self-focussed sometimes.
Chase
10/28/2012, 1.21pm
Do you want to meet up for coffee or something? You know I'm here if you want to talk about him.
Chase
10/28/2012, 2.10pm
I'm sorry, I know we see each other at work all the time.
Kurt
10/28/2012, 2.21pm
It's ok. I just don't really want to talk about him.
Kurt
10/28/2012, 2.34pm
I just miss being able to text him with all the crazy I see. He appreciated it, you know?
Kurt
10/28/2012, 2.36pm
I have friends… just not him.
Chase
10/28/2012, 2.45pm
Like I said, I get it. Bad fashion must be reported. And like I told you, I definitely appreciate it.
Kurt
10/28/2012, 4.01pm
And there is so much bad fashion in the world.
Chase
10/28/2012, 4.09pm
This is why we work at . We're trying to save the world from itself.
Kurt
10/28/2012, 4.38pm
LOL. Saving the world at : one well-designed chemise at a time.
Chase
10/28/2012, 5.06pm
Haha. See you tomorrow Kurt. Have a good night.
Kurt
10/28/2012, 9.56pm
Thanks Chase. See you tomorrow.
A/N: I am a Klainer through and through, but I was drawn to Kurt's experience in the aftermath of 404 and this idea just wouldn't run away. I don't see the relationship between Kurt and Chase as a romantic one, at all. I just think Kurt needs a supportive friend, and someone who *really* understands. This scenario made sense to me, so I wrote it down :)
