2006 – 2012
For six years after their final summer at camp, Kurt and Blaine communicated only through letters. They'd been pen pals for so long that it seemed somehow inappropriate to even think about calling or texting each other. Kurt eagerly looked forward to every letter he received.
In his own letters, however, Kurt was much more guarded than he used to be about what he shared. He wrote to Blaine about familiar topics, like his relationship with his father, or about positive events in his life, like joining the glee club. There were many things he left out, though.
Although he came out to Blaine almost as soon as he came out to himself, Kurt never wrote a word about the more-than-just-friendly feelings he had for his best friend. And he glossed over the bullying he experienced at school, never mentioning that it had gotten to the point where he was honestly afraid for his life.
As the years went by, and the strain of censoring himself grew, Kurt's letters to Blaine became less frequent and more superficial. At first, Blaine kept on writing just as often as ever, sending two, then three, then four letters for every one he got from Kurt. But eventually he seemed to give up, and only wrote to Kurt as often (or, to be more accurate, as rarely) as Kurt wrote to him.
In the spring of his senior year, Kurt got a letter in the mail with a return address that he'd never expected to see again – Ride ‘Em Cowboy Ranch Camp. Inside the envelope, he found a glossy new brochure and a letter from his old riding instructors, David and Ryan.
The letter explained that Aunt Lisa had finally persuaded Uncle Mike to retire, and that David and Ryan had purchased the camp. They went on to say that, since they would now be busy managing things, they would need to hire two new riding instructors. They were hoping that Kurt and Blaine would take the jobs.
Kurt was overjoyed. He had brief flashes of concern about what it would mean to see Blaine again after all these years, but he pushed them aside with visions of his dream job. Compared with working at Hummel Tires and Lube all summer, which is what he'd been planning on doing, this would be heaven.
