track 04: come see about me (written)

[righttrack]

[So, Harry's last broadcast really shook Kurt. But it shook him right out of his shell, and he's finally ready to talk to Paradisa.]

I haven't been as social here as I should be. I didn't want to be, because that felt like giving in.

But I'm here, for now. And I have to deal with it.

My name is Kurt Hummel. I'm a 19 year old intern for vogue.com. I was a member of my high school glee club. It was the best time of my life, and in my senior year we won Nationals. I was also the first openly gay student at my high school in Lima, Ohio. I love scarves and cars and hospital dramas. Or any kind of drama, really. My best friends are girls named Rachel Berry and Mercedes Jones, even if I don't talk to Mercedes as much as I used to. I used to hate both of them. I live in New York with Rachel right now. I'm not in college, currently. Patti Lupone is my idol. My father is my hero.

Fashion and music are my life.

I'm not sure what else to say, but if anyone wants to talk, I'd like that.

Right, it does.

[wilder]

Right. And that's probably not favored because it doesn't bring heirs.

[....]

And apparently there's also something...wrong...with girl...stuff?

[righttrack]

Among other reasons, yes.

And the stereotype [Which Kurt totally feeds into.] is that gay boys tend to be girly.

[wilder]

[oh honey you look downright manly next to Zelos]

And that's...bad. So people bully over that.

[a pause]

I don't get it, what's wrong with being a girl?

[righttrack]

Well... I don't think anything is, really. It's just that, I guess, boys are supposed to act like boys. Otherwise people get confused and scared.

It's stupid.

[wilder]

[...You know he gives up. ]

Yeah, I'm gonna agree with the stupid thing.

[righttrack]

Things are getting better in some ways, though, in my world.

[wilder]

Are they? For...gays, right? [That's a WEIRD word]

[righttrack]

Yes. And girls.

[wilder]

Oh, hey! That's always a good thing! [He gets how long that stuff takes really. Aselia may not have sexism problems, but racism and classicism run rampant]

And you know, I hope stuff works out with your old man.

[righttrack]

It is... And they have. He's very brave.

[wilder]

[Zelos almost wants to argue that accepting and loving your kid shouldn't be considered 'brave', it's just what you're supposed to do as a parent after all. But he'll refrain because he knows hahaha...he knows he has parental issues and let's not make some stranger deal with it]

Heh, good.

[Now a quick subject change!]

Oh, that's right- I didn't introduce myself, did I? I'm the great Zelos Wilder- you can call me Zelos!

[righttrack]

Nice to meet you, Zelos!

[wilder]

Yep! You too, Kurt!
