Blaine: KURT

Kurt: BLAINE

Blaine: HI. :D

Kurt: Hiya

Blaine: Can this be a standing date?
Are you gonna be around at this time on Wednesdays?

Kurt: yeah, I should be
is this usually going to be a good time for you?

Blaine: I don’t have anything until work at 2:30
so perfect-o time for me

Kurt: do you want to try Skyping?

Blaine: I’m actually at the library
because I didn’t know you’d be around
but maybe next week?
I’ll make a point of being in my room
and we can try it?
hopefully I won’t psych myself out too much between now and then

Kurt: sounds good. :)
I miss you
a lot
a lot
a lot
times a flobbity jillion

Blaine: I miss you infinity
so I win

Kurt: eye roll

Blaine: I HAD THE BEST MORNING

Kurt: really?

Blaine: Yeah, I went to my ASL class for the first time
and there’s a NO VOICE policy Kurt
we’re not allowed to talk at all

Kurt: wow, I don’t think I’d be able to do it

Blaine: ah but
I can totally do it
it’s like the best news ever
if I had known that I wouldn’t have to talk at all
I would have taken sign language … well, my whole life. :)

Kurt: Yeah, that does sound kind of perfect for you

Blaine: oh, I’m sorry
I’m so stupid
I haven’t even asked you how things are with you
That’s what happens when I’m excited

Kurt: no reason for sorry poophead
you’re thrilled by the prospect of not having to talk
I get that :)
I’m fine
confused (new city, different language)
tired (jet lag out the ass, starting classes)
amazed (Paris is pretty much everything I expected)
missing you (pretty self-explanatory)

Blaine: aw, I’m sorry about the confused and tired and missing me
I could try to be less missable, but I don’t have any control over the first two

Kurt: How on earth would you go about being less missable?
I’d like to see you try.

Blaine: Um. I’m sure there’s a way.
I could be a gigantic dickhead

Kurt: see you say this stuff, but I don’t think you actually know how to do that

Blaine: well, I’ll just have to read “How to be a gigantic dickhead for dummies”
and get back to you on it.

Kurt: yes, good

Blaine: I’m going to really try to be less missable for you Kurt

Kurt: I know you will
so tell me more about sign language

Blaine: There’s not a ton to say yet
It’s awesome that I don’t have to talk
the professor’s deaf
which is interesting
so she handed out the syllabus and it explained a lot
and then we played a game
where we passed a ball around the room
and if you missed it you were out
so you had to really pay attention to who was throwing
I never got out. :)

Kurt: could you be any cuter?

Blaine: mmmm. no. probably not
OH! And remember that chick from the diner on our first “date”?

Kurt: Crazy Hair?

Blaine: YES. She’s in my class.
I’m pretty sure it’s her
But I think she finally got a deep conditioner and a new stylist
so I’m not 100% sure
if it is her, her hair’s a lot less crazy

Kurt: What’s her name?

Blaine: I dunno
we didn’t do names in that class
it’s like nobody has a name
why?

Kurt: Just being nosy
perhaps her name is Frizzy McCrazyhairpants or something

Blaine: McCrazyhairpants, is that Scottish or Irish?

Kurt: It’s muppet
and half Swedish

Blaine: Oh well that makes sense.
are you ok?
I know it seems kind of weird that I could sense this through im’s
but I feel like you’re … off

Kurt: I *am* a little off
just the tired, confused, missing you thing

Blaine: are you lonely Kurt?

Kurt: I think I am a little

Blaine: I’m sorry

Kurt: It’s not your fault
I guess I just feel a little out of sorts right now
but I think it’ll get better when I feel more settled

Blaine: ok. I hate not being able to do anything to help you
or at least hug you

Kurt: I wish you could hug me too
I didn’t expect this to be so hard
actually, I didn’t expect this to be hard at all
not even at first
but that was kind of dumb of me
of course there’s going to be a period of adjustment

Blaine: Of course
it’s like the first couple weeks of college

Kurt: see, I was fine immediately in college
I guess that’s why I’m surprised about this

Blaine: ohhhhh
I was not fine immediately
but it didn’t take long until I was fine
mostly thanks to Matt

Kurt: seriously, where would you be without Matt?

Blaine: ha. Probably Ohio

Kurt: really?
huh, it was a rhetorical question but now I’m intrigued

Blaine: I don’t know
I mean, maybe I would have found someone else
another friend
but having Matt around right from the start
made everything easier and better
if I didn’t have him, maybe I would have transferred home
I bet I would have never met you

Kurt: because Matt forced you to take a class online?

Blaine: oh, true
hmm
You know what, no,
I’m sticking with I bet I would have never met you
I would have gotten too nervous and stuff during my first semester
and there’s no way I would have ever gone to open mic night
I would have transferred to OSU and just commuted from home
I would have never signed up for an NYU online summer class
if I no longer went to NYU
so yeah.

Kurt: so we have an awful lot to thank Matt for in that case

Blaine: yes. yes we do.

Kurt: I should send him an edible arrangement or a balloon bouquet

Blaine: You should :)
you should sign my name too
I think I owe him an awful lot

Kurt: so, how are you?

Blaine: honestly? I don’t want to sound like a dickhead (or maybe I do?)
but I’m good
classes are good
work’s good
people are good
I miss you like WHOA, but that’s not unexpected

Kurt: so, what you’re telling me is that you’re good

Blaine: yes. Sorry. I didn’t mean to beat around the bush

Kurt: so, what people are good?

Blaine: mostly Matt and Kerry
I haven’t actually seen anyone else since Sunday
but we’re all kind of busy with the start of the semester

Kurt: I’ll tell Rachel to text you

Blaine: Don’t you dare!
I don’t need you setting up playdates for me

Kurt: I love how offended you just got

Blaine: I am offended!
You’re not my mom
I’m not really offended, but you know what I mean

Kurt: I know what you mean
and I won’t tell Rachel to invite you over
Blaine: good. I don’t want her to invite me over just because you’re guilt tripping her
I want her to invite me over because she’s my friend

Kurt: blergh. too endearing. does not compute.
you could text her you know. Or Puck.

Blaine: I know
but
I don’t want to bother her. Or Puck.
they’re busy, it’s ok
I don’t mind.

Kurt: Blaine
are you being shy?

Blaine: um. yes. duh.
are you shocked?

Kurt: BLAAAAAAAAAINE
you don’t have to be shy
they really do like you

Blaine: I know. I just get a little nervous about going there without you there

Kurt: would it help if I told you not to be nervous?

Blaine: not really. you know.
I’ll get over. I just need a little while

Kurt: ok, stop being an assclown

Blaine: hmm. your powers of persuasion leave something to be desired

Kurt: if you think of some way I can help, let me know
oh! I’m sorry I never wrote back to your email

Blaine: not a big deal, I figured you’ve been busy

Kurt: I was just waiting for a time when I could really focus

Blaine: I understand

Kurt: I pretty much slept all day on Monday
and then yesterday was running around, finding stuff
getting “acclimated”
trying to figure out the details

Blaine: Kurt, it’s cool. :) I totally understand
I hadn’t even really thought about it
I thought about you, but I wasn’t losing sleep over why you hadn’t written back to my email

Kurt: Ok. Good. I didn’t want you to think I didn’t care or something

Blaine: I solemnly promise that I know you care.

Kurt: As for the email
I really do think you’re brave
even if you refuse to acknowledge it
I will shout it from the Parisian rooftops
Blaine est le plus brave homme que je connais.

Blaine: I’m pretty sure you just dishonored my mother

Kurt: I said “Blaine is the bravest man I know.”

Blaine: blushing font
and you have got to be shitting me font
yes go shout that from the rooftops

Kurt: I think I will

Blaine: NOOOOO
come back!
I want to talk to you more

Kurt: Ok. I’m back :)
no more rooftops

Blaine: phew
so Kurt. Are you making friends, hm?
being nice to people?
Not snarking on strangers too much?

Kurt: It’s weird because I thought for sure I’d know more people here
there are a couple familiar faces, but I don’t actually know anyone
but there’s a meet and greet thing on campus in an hour
so I’ll go to that
and everyone will fall desperately in love with my charming personality

Blaine: NO BEAUTIFUL PARISIANS
and only platonic love

Kurt: fine, but you’re no fun
you and your monogamy

Blaine: I’m very old fashioned that way
a one fella kind of fella

Kurt: There’s a girl who lives next door
she seems nice
and in one of my classes there’s a guy who was in my seminar last semester
who was never tooooooo stupid
and he was always willing to eye roll with me when people got ridiculous

Blaine: see, you’ll have friends in no time!

Kurt: The weird part is sharing a bathroom with all these people
I mean, I shared the dorm bathroom freshman year
but I’ve gotten very used to only sharing with Rachel
and while her regimens are lengthy, they’re all very routine and planned out
I’m used to her weirdness
her weirdness and my weirdness coexist beautifully

Blaine: yes, you’re both beautiful weirdos

Kurt: exactly
but these people, they have no routine, no regimen!
at least I have a shower in my room and a sink, but there’s no mirror over the sink
maybe I need to go buy a mirror to put over the sink

Blaine: yes, go to the French version of Bed, Bath & Beyond and buy a mirror
it sounds like a solution to me

Kurt: so what about your other classes?
anything standout?

Blaine: definitely not
though I’m taking the second half of Human Development with Natalie
I’m sure that’ll be good
of course there’s another presentation
but I feel like a completely different person from when I gave that presentation in October
so that’s good
I don’t think I’ll be panicking about it or anything

Kurt: You are kind of a completely different person

Blaine: Hmm. I am
And I blame you

Kurt: that’s cool
I’m happy to take full responsibility for your newfound awesomeness

Blaine: you would too
and you wouldn’t give me any of the credit
or Chad

Kurt: Yes, I’m going to hog the limelight of your new found fluency
as if it were my own
and let’s be honest here poop
it’s not like you realllllly want the limelight anyway

Blaine: true. too true.

Kurt: you know that was in teasing font right?

Blaine: yes, Kurt, I know.

Kurt: hey, who said you could borrow my fond exasperation font?

Blaine: lol
I love you
I miss you so much

Kurt: I know
this sucks
I wish I was there

Blaine: I wish you were here too
(I would say I wish I was there, but I don’t know French.)

Kurt: AHHHH.
You make my heart hurt

Blaine: YOU MAKE MY HEART HURT
AND MY FACE FROM SMILING

Kurt: why are you yelling Blaine?

Blaine: Because sometimes it’s just time for yelling

Kurt: Is that your new motto?

Blaine: yes. I’m going with yes
I’m going to become a yeller
some people talk, chat, prattle, jabber
BLAINE YELLS

Kurt: you’re cute

Blaine: NOOOOO. I’m angry.
and I YELLLLLL

Kurt: You never yell

Blaine: NOW I YELLLLLLLL

Kurt: Blaaaaaiiiine

Blaine: I know.
I just I feel like I have so much I want to tell you
but it all can’t be consolidated into im
or even phone (eventually)
I want to be right next to you
and hold your hand while I talk

Kurt: Now I’m saaaaad
well, I’ve been sad
but now I’m sad about the way you’re sad
and because you’re sad

Blaine: I thought we were going to stop being sad?

Kurt: We were, but that only lasted until I left
now we can be sad because I’m gone

Blaine: this is all terrible

Kurt: yes terrible
and dumb

Blaine: We need to try to make this less terrible and dumb

Kurt: it’ll become less terrible and dumb over time hopefully

Blaine: that’s true
sigh
I have to get ready for work now

Kurt: boooooo
ok go to work
be a productive part of society

Blaine: I will, dammit
and you can’t stop me!

Kurt: Um. I know. That’s why I told you to go
also, I need a sugar daddy
since I’m not working right now
I’ll be broke by the time I get home
save up all your money so you can take me out

Blaine: Hmmm. That’s a good idea.
I think I’ll do that.
it’s the least I can do for you

Kurt: Blaine I was joking
you don’t have to save up all your money to take me out
just give me the scraps and leftovers of your food
I’ll be fine
I’ll muddle through on pizza crust

Blaine: man cannot live on pizza crust alone
I shall also allow you to nibble on bits of leftover chicken

Kurt: you are such a kind hearted fella

Blaine: I know. I’m benevolent.

Kurt: so three days down

Blaine: 129 to go

Kurt: we’ll do this

Blaine: I love you

Kurt: I love you tooooo
I’ll email you tonight after my meet and greet

Blaine: you don’t have to if you’re busy!
I’m a very understanding fella

Kurt: I know, but I will

Blaine: alright
bye Kurt :(

Kurt: Bye Blaine
