                “i could use a new one, my sketch pads fill up like that.” there is an accompanying snap of his fingers. not all that surprising given the amount of work billy put into his hobby, most days it felt like his life contained little else other than yards and yards of fabric and a sewing machine, always with some new fabulous creation (or five) on the go. “bribes don’t really work if i’ve already agreed,” he laughs, “but coffee would be lovely. and honestly i will take any excuse to go to an art supply store, those are my safe haven, be warned, i could stay in one of those for hours — you may end up just leaving me there and i would not blame you.” for one thing, they were full to the brim with inspiration. head tilts curiously. west side story – perhaps a little difficult to put his own spin on something so well known. but that didn’t put him off. “i can definitely work with that. who are you playing?”

Blaine’s lips quirked up, the smile growing when Billy snapped.  Sounds like they were on their way to the art supply store then?  He couldn’t complain about being lost in one either.  There was a small section of camera equipment, film and paper.  Things he could spend his own fair share of time getting inspired by.  Not to mention the craft section.  One that he tried to steer clear from unless he was there with someone who wouldn’t judge him for the sheer amount of joy he could find in it.  There probably wasn’t an aisle inside that part of the shop that he couldn’t imagine a gift, or several, he could make for someone he cared about.  That’s the best part of Christmas, is it not?  Giving them all away?  He smirked, seeing that the bribe was a failure.  Which, hey!  “I wasn’t trying to bribe!  I promise.  I was only wanting you make sure you have everything you need.”  A thumb jutted in the direction of the exit.  Their after school walk would get them some fresh air being pent up inside classes all day prevented.  Might as well start out?  “Um..Tony,” he said softly with a spark in his eyes and a bit on his lip right after.  “Coffee first, yeah?  Then, I don’t mind getting lost in the store for as long as you want.  Promise not to judge however long you’re taking.  Not even a little bit.”
