This is so cute. Especially the Christmas part "my heart instead"

This was so worth the time it took to read it!

wow CaseyBear, do you have any idea how good that was?

Don't know how something so short can tell a complete story but it just did and that was my favorite one-shot of all time. Shows what an awesome writer you are.

Simply beautiful.

Greetings! It's not often that I enjoyed stream-of-conscious writing, but this one was just perfect. It wasn't over angsty and I really like the way it revolved around the ten minutes. What I also liked was the 'that smile' versus 'this smile'... and the fact that we never received 'real' names for either of the main characters. It kept things subtle and sweet. Anyway, I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing. :)

This was adorable. One of the best things I've ever read.-Steven

That was so cute! I could feel the anxiety of the main character and...e! cute!

But when he said he was going to break up with his boyfriend, that scared the buh-jeezers out of me! And I know it's supposed to be a happy ending and all, but I can't help but feel a little sad because it seems like after 10 years, he still doubts his boyfriend.

Great oneshot!

oh wow, this was stunningly beautiful. i really love how the story had the backdrop of tem minutes guiding it. this was my favorite of all your stories

Me again!

First off, AW! OH my, god. You're amazing!

This story was perfection and I want to marry it.

Love love love love! Favorite.

I'd be lying through my teeth if I said I didn't absolutely love this.

It had me so edgy and the time change was very well-done. I didn't find it that confusing and found that the changes actually added to the whole long-time relationship thing.

Other than his name (sorry, Check sounds very high-schooler to me - hope he changed his name 10 years later!), Check was an oddly endearing character. I know peeps like him - you don't know why you like them. You do.

Aiyaa, that whole ten minutes shpiel had me antsy. I was all like, something's going to happen in ten minutes - I just know it. I prefer it this way though. Hehe (obviously I think you wrote this story for me ) Glad you didn't decide to kill anyone off. I wouldn't exactly say this was 'serious' as much as it was one of your more mature works.

Oh, can I -maybe, sorta, please?- adopt you? Hehe, I want my own Casey. Oh man, is that your real name? I just realized I named a character Casey XD Not on purpose though. hehe.

Until next time you.

I like this. It's a charming, interesting little one shot.

Good job.

Wow, that...that was really incredible. The way you wrote it, those back-and-forth moments that gave the story a depth and meaning that you crystallised perfectly at the end. I usually feel the same way about my serious drabbles too - sometimes they seem like a perfect excuse to kill a nameless character and then explore the reactions that'd cause, so I really understand you there. But anyway, I loved this, it was so very mastered and flawless :)

Great story! _

I enjoyed the story
