A/N: Just in case it isn't obvious...IM conversation going on between...you guessed it, Q and A!
Artie says: I'm looking for the hot girl that I found in my bed this morning.
Quinn says: Oh, really? Let me know when you find her.
Artie says: I think I just did!
Quinn says: How do you make that big smiley face again?
Artie says: :D?
Quinn says: Yeah. :D!
Artie says: Waking up next to you was amazing.
Quinn says: I just hope I didn't kick you or anything in your sleep.
Artie says: Unless you were upside down in the bed, I wouldn't even have noticed.
Quinn says: Artie!
Artie says: :D
Quinn says: New favourite smiley face?
Artie says: Um...yes. If you could see me right now, you'd see that the grin on my face is actually THAT big.
Quinn says: Would you rather talk on the phone right now?
Artie says: Would you be mad if I said no? I'm kind of...otherwise occupied.
Quinn says: That either sounds like you're doing something dirty, or playing video games.
Artie says: ...the second one.
Quinn says: So, what? Video games are more important than the supposedly hot blond you found in your bed this morning?
Artie says: No. I can multitask!
Quinn says: Right.
Artie says: It's true! Otherwise, how would I be talking to you right now?
Quinn says: LOL. Be glad I love you. ;)
Artie says: I am. You have no idea.
Quinn says: Awww!
Artie says: My bed looks sad without you...please come back ASAP.
Quinn says: I'll see what I can do about that.
Artie says: YAY!
Quinn says: :D
Quinn says: So...was there a reason you broke your video game concentration to talk to me at this very moment? Not that I'm complaining, just curious...
Artie says: What, I can't just decide to talk to you? There always has to be motive?
Artie says: Fine. Puck?
Quinn says: I KNOW!
Artie says: I've been trying to wrap my head around that all day, and it's just not coming together.
Quinn says: I thought maybe he'd come because of me, but it didn't really seem like it.
Artie says: Um...he had better not have showed up because of you, or I WILL mow him down the next time I see him.
Quinn says: Haha! My protector.
Artie says: I try.
Quinn says: LOL
Artie says: It didn't seem like he came because of you (no offense...). It was more a...I don't know. And then he asked if I would help a "studly Jew" with his schoolwork. And then he said I was his "boy." WHAT?
Quinn says: Why would I be offended?
Artie says: I don't know, because I said he didn't come because of you?
Quinn says: I wouldn't have wanted him to!
Artie says: Ok...just checking to see if I needed to be jealous.
Quinn says: ARTIE! How can you even say that?
Artie says: KIDDING, WOMAN! You really should know me better than that.
Quinn says: I know you better than you can possibly imagine.
Artie says: Because that doesn't sound creepy at all...
Quinn says: Speaking of creepy...I'm not the one that watched someone else sleep while they were in their bed...
Artie says: You weren't supposed to know about that. Wait...how do you know about that?
Quinn says: I'm the master of fake sleep.
Artie says: That's impossible, because I am the master of fake sleep!
Quinn says: Ok, we're both the master. Anyway...Puck?
Artie says: MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE! Oh, wait, that's not right...
Quinn says: HAHAHA! You are the most adorable nerd boy ever.
Artie says: Hey, at least I admit it, unlike my closeted nerd girlfriend.
Quinn says: LOL! I'm almost out that closet.
Artie says: Suuuure.
Quinn says: I think you should just ask Puck why he came over.
Artie says: I can't do that...
Quinn says: Why?
Artie says: Because I don't want to make it awkward. I'm already awkward enough!
Quinn says: It wouldn't be. Just ask him. Or get AJ to ask him...that would be totally alright.
Artie says: No, I will not get anyone to ask anything! I'm going to wait and see what his next move is.
Quinn says: Oops, I have to go. Mom needs me. Will you be around later?
Artie says: Yeah. Just message me whenever!
Quinn says: :D LOVE YOU
Artie says: :D LOVE YOU TOO!
Later that evening...
Quinn says: Are you still awake?
Artie says: Yes, and you have my full attention.
Quinn says: No video games?
Artie says: Nope...lying in bed writing in my journal and thinking about how lonely it is here...
Quinn says: LOL Artie! I can't come over there now!
Artie says: Fine. :(
Quinn says: We never finished our Puck conversation...
Artie says: I can't ask him.
Quinn says: I know.
Artie says: And I can't make AJ ask him. They seemed to get along pretty well, and I don't want to mess that up...if that's still the case once we go back to school.
Quinn says: It had better be! Speaking of AJ...you never mentioned his home life to me?
Artie says: I don't really know much...he doesn't really talk about it. Just from a few things he's said, I gather that it's not always the happiest and most stable place.
Quinn says: Aww :( Poor AJ.
Artie says: I've never seen him talk as freely about it as he did on NY.
Quinn says: That was freely?
Artie says: For him? Yeah.
Quinn says: Do you know if he and Puck talked about anything when Puck went to drop him off?
Artie says: He texted me and said they went and bought donuts or something, and then drove around for a while before he dropped him off.
Quinn says: That sounds promising?
Artie says: Yeah. I'm kind of glad. AJ needs more friends.
Quinn says: I know.
Artie says: And I need some hot love right now.
Quinn says: ARTIE! We're talking about serious subjects, and then you bring up hot love?
Artie says: I'm a man, after all.
Quinn says: No, you're a nerd boy. The most adorable nerd boy on the planet.
Artie says: :D
Quinn says: That's your go-to response now, isn't it?
Artie says: :D
Quinn says: Two can play at this game.
Artie says: ?
Quinn says: :D
Artie says: :D
Quinn says: :D
Artie says: :F
Quinn says: ...?
Artie says: Oops, typo. Ok, this game is the worst game ever.
Quinn says: Not worst ever!
Artie says: Close.
Quinn says: :D
Artie says: !
Quinn says: Every time we talk...we get reduced to something like this. What does that say about our conversation skills?
Artie says: Um...that we're awesome?
Quinn says: Ok. I'm fine with that. haha
Artie says: We're no closer to some sort of solution on this whole Puck thing than we were originally.
Quinn says: You were hoping for a solution? If you want that, then just talk to him.
Artie says: IT WOULD BE AWKWARD.
Quinn says: Ok. Then do nothing.
Artie says: I like that.
Quinn says: I thought you might.
Artie says: Just as long as he doesn't do something to AJ...
Quinn says: And what if he does?
Artie says: ARTIE SMASH!
Quinn says: LOL!
Artie says: Ok, maybe not smash, but...I don't know. I'll think of something.
Quinn says: :) Not to cut this off, but I should really sleep. Continue this conversation tomorrow?
Artie says: Yeah. Me too. Talk tomorrow?
Quinn says: Of course. Goodnight. I love you!
Artie says: I love you too! Night!
Quinn says: :D
