Lol! Well hello KURT! Oh wait, no that’s Glee, hehehe. And besides Jonah is ever so much more insanely adorable! This one hits all my “oh so adorable” buttons and just plain makes me smile from ear to ear.

Jonah is loves style and clothes…ok maybe obsessed would be a better word, obsessed with style and clothes. Having suffered a horrific childhood at the hands of bullies for being himself he’s found solace in the world of Tumbler and the like. Within the anonymity of online relationships he can Lol! Well hello KURT! Oh wait, no that’s Glee, hehehe. And besides Jonah is ever so much more insanely adorable! This one hits all my “oh so adorable” buttons and just plain makes me smile from ear to ear.

Jonah is loves style and clothes…ok maybe obsessed would be a better word, obsessed with style and clothes. Having suffered a horrific childhood at the hands of bullies for being himself he’s found solace in the world of Tumbler and the like. Within the anonymity of online relationships he can be the get the adoration and attention he’s always wanted even when he himself is incredibly uncomfortable around people. Someday though, someday he’ll be out of all of this and immersed in the fashion scene. Until then though, it’s college and a fresh start and he has just the outfit to kick start his new life. Being publicly embarrassed by his first ever college professor for being 40 minutes late was not how he wanted to start though. Neither was having it occur in front of, hello mortification, his junior high crush.

Sebastian isn’t your typical drop dead gorgeous hunk. He’s more the goofy adorable type. And absolutely one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Of course as far as Jonah knows he’s as straight as they come. How he’s ever going to overcome this rocky start to his college career he’ll never know. And then, shock of all shockers, Sebastian asks him out, like on a real date and everything. Maybe this college life isn’t so horrific after all…now the only real question is what to wear?!?

Ok first of all I loved the use of the instagram/tumbler update posts in this short. They so clearly captured Jonah’s voice in a way that made me instantly fall in love with him. I adored the fact that both boys were pining for each other for years and could never speak up or act on it. Not to mention of course a little cyber stalking never seems to go awry. :D I loved the embarrassed way Sebastian owned up to everything after Jonah’s petrified rabbit routine. And most of all I think the fact that Sebastian isn’t some Greek Adonis deserves BIG HUGE ROUNDS OF APPLAUSE for Ms. Belleau. As looks obsessed and fashion conscious as he is, what Jonah likes about Sebastian has nothing to do with any of that and instead is memories of the sweetness and laughter he always treated Jonah with. Fantastic story! ...more

4 very sweet stars-esp. for one of the protagonists being a normal guy who's not physically perfect-but still hot! This couple had me smiling, which I think is a hard response to elicit from a reader. The pic was tied in very nicely. Thank you! ...more
