Summary: Blaine sends a text message to a wrong number by accident.Things progress from there.

Review: I think that this fic is probably one of the most well-known and well-loved in the fandom, and rightly so, because it is heartwarming, funny, fluffy, and touching.

One of the most remarkable things about the fic is that it is entirely written in texting format (and some over-the-phone dialogue towards the end), meaning that there is no narration or description at all. But that's what makes it work so well -- the way we have to work out what is going on through Kurt and Blaine's text conversations doesn't make it harder to read but surprisingly easier. And it goes to show just how good iknowitainteasy's writing is that we can still read their emotions even through a few simple words of a text.

This was the first ever piece of fanfiction I read, and it set the bar high. It's one of those fics where you'll see something mundane and think, Oh, that reminds me of something, then realise that the something you're reminded of is Little Numbers. Kurt and Blaine's story here, while simple and cute, is the kind that sits in a little corner of your heart and lights up when you're feeling low. It's the story that you want to reread the most, just to have that little smile and feeling of yes, I love this that really brightens your day.

All in all this is a fabulous fic and comes highly recommended. And be warned, after reading it, you'll never see the name Bradshaw the same way again!
