Love,

Stephen,
Tomorrow’s fine—you’re right, we’ve been busy lately, and it’d be nice to see you sometime before midnight. One sound good?
Also—is your shift key broken or something? Do you need it fixed? Ask Bobby if there’s something wrong with your keyboard, okay? And…you haven’t been drinking during work hours, right? We talked about that. Let me know if anything’s wrong.
Love,
Jon

Jon,
One is perfect. i’ll see You then.
i don’t think anything is wrong with my keyboard, but i’ll ask Bobby to look at it. Why do You think something’s wrong with it? Did my email display with those funny symbols again? i hate those. It’s like some creepy alien language. Stupid aliens who can’t even speak English better not try to invade America without learning it!
And i haven’t been drinking, i swear! You know i know the rules. Nothing’s wrong. i’m sorry if i upset You somehow. Did i?
Love,
stephen

Stephen,
Did you have Bobby look at your keyboard yet? It isn’t displaying symbols, but your capitalization is really off—you is capitalized randomly, and your Is aren’t, and neither is your name. I think the shift key might be sticking or something.
If you say you haven’t been drinking, I believe you. Just wanted to make sure—and I’m not upset. Just a little confused, is all.
Love,
Jon

Jon,
LOL, i should’ve known You were kidding! Of course nothing’s wrong with my keyboard—You know that. You really should save the joking for when W/we’re together in person, though. It’s too hard to figure out when You’re joking in email because You don’t use the smilies, like this one: ;-). Maybe You should use that one.
Love,

Stephen,
I wasn’t joking, Stephen—your emails do look weird, especially with the capitalization. Ask Bobby if something’s wrong with your shift key or caps lock key. And what’s with the slashes in certain words? There might be something stuck under your keys.
Love,
Jon

Stephen,
You’re telling me that people really type like that? All the time? Because it’s..."respectful"?
Wow. I did not know that.
Truthfully, Stephen, I think it looks really silly. I know you respect me, extra capital letters be damned. Please type normally from now on, okay? It’s easier to read, anyway.
Love,
Jon

Are you sure? I guess you’re sure, huh? Well, you can probably just tell me since by the time you get this you’ll be getting ready to be on your way over to pick me up. Okay.

Jon knocked briefly on Stephen’s office door before stepping inside. Stephen was sitting at his desk, on his computer, looking deep in concentration. “Am I interrupting?” Jon asked, and Stephen started.
“What? Oh! No, Jon, of course not. I was just looking at those sites again, the ones I told you about.”
Jon smiled. “Stephen, I meant what I said in that email. I think typing that way looks ridiculous. Why waste the time and energy?”
“Because I’m supposed to,” Stephen stressed.
“No,” Jon corrected, walking over to his desk and placing an index finger under his chin, lifting Stephen’s face up to meet his eyes. “You’re supposed to listen to what I have to say, and I say it’s silly. Don’t worry about it, Stephen, please?”
“Are you sure?” he asked, eyes clearly uncertain.
“I’m sure,” Jon assured him, leaning in and kissing him soundly. “Are you ready to go?”
Stephen smiled at him after they broke apart, standing up. “I’m ready.”
“Good. Let’s go.”
As Stephen grabbed his coat and they headed to his office door, he asked, “Are You sure You’re sure?”
Jon gave him a look as he shut off the lights and they headed out into the hall. “I can hear the capital letters, Stephen.”
Stephen flushed. “Just checking.”
Jon simply chuckled to himself and shook his head, wrapping an arm around Stephen’s waist as they headed outside to their waiting car.
