A/N Sorry posting this so late, son's Christmas program and Hubby's office Christmas Party were this evening, and it took me a while to work out today's prompts, which were Reasonable for the word and Making Amends for the theme.
Just so you all know, starting Saturday, my internet access will be limited through Christmas Day, but I will still try to post when I can.
Reviews are always welcome!

Another Interview
"Welcome back to Good Morning, America," Robin said, smiling into the camera. "Joining us this hour are Blaine Anderson and Kurt Hummel, stars of the upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie, Perfect for Christmas, the first ever such movie featuring a gay couple, which premiers Friday night at eight pm Eastern time. Welcome to the show, Both of you!"
Kurt and Blaine smiled, and waved at the audience. "Thank you for inviting us," Blaine said.
"Now there's been a lot of talk about the movie, which is Hallmark's way of making amends for a poor marketing decision that upset the LGBTQ+ community recently. Do you think the movie goes far enough to help repair Hallmark's reputation?"
Kurt shrugged, still smiling. "It's definitely a step in the right direction. In a perfect world, it wouldn't even have been an issue. Having LGBTQ+ characters and storylines should be something that is common place. We exist, we're here, and we refuse to be pushed to the background anymore."
Robin smiled at them. "What has the response been like to the previews?"
"For the most part, they've been great," Blaine said. "The overwhelming response has been positive, but with every movie you have to expect a reasonable amount of criticism and negativity."
"Surprisingly," Kurt added, "there has been very little negative reviews so far."
"Is it true that you received threats because of the movie?"
Blaine frowned. "Yes, someone sent threatening letters to Kurt and I, as well as our costars, the director, and one of the producers. The police have made an arrest, but we're not allowed to give out anymore information than that at this time."
The host nodded and glanced down at her notes before continuing. "Let's talk about something a little happier. The two of you have been together for five years now?"
Kurt's smile grew. "Actually, we've been together since high school, and married for five years last month."
"Did the producers know that when they cast the two of you?"
"Not at first," Blaine laughed. "They originally approached my older brother, Cooper, to play Edward, but his schedule prevented him from doing it, and so he recommended I audition instead."
"I'd already been offered the part of Ian," Kurt added, "but at the time I didn't know it was the same movie Blaine was auditioning for."
"Was it awkward working together?"
Kurt giggled. "Not really. I think we worked very well together. We helped each other figure out our characters' personalities and thought processes. I think the only time things got awkward was when Blaine had to kiss Lily Collins, who plays Sarah, Edward's fiance."
Blaine laughed, and blushed a little. "They kept making us do the scene over and over, trying to get the best angle and whatever. We must have kissed what, twenty times? I think Kurt was getting a little jealous."
"Well, the last time you kissed a girl, it almost ruined our relationship," Kurt hedged. "But then again, you were drunk then, so I was only slightly worried this time."
Robin raised her eyebrow at this comment. "Obviously, that's a story I think we'd all love to hear, but we're out of time. Once again, Perfect for Christmas Premiers this Friday night, eight pm Eastern, seven central, of the Hallmark Channel."
