From Kurt [3:15 PM]

I thought we were friends.

From Blaine [3:16 PM]

What do you mean?

From Kurt [3:18 PM]

Well, you’ve been back in Ohio oh, for what? A couple days now. And all I got was a ‘we landed safely’ call. That was it.

From Blaine [3:20 PM]

I’m sorry. I really wanted to talk to you but I didn’t want to annoy you I guess.

From Kurt [3:21 PM]

Now I don’t know what you mean.

From Blaine [3:22 PM]

You know what I mean, Kurt.

From Kurt [3:24 PM]

You can always talk to me.

From Blaine [3:24 PM]

Ok. And that goes both ways. 

From Kurt [3:25 PM]

Ok.

From Blaine [3:27 PM]

So are you free now?

From Kurt [3:29 PM]

I am. Rachel is telling me all about her cruise and I’m browsing the NYADA website, just so I’ll know what classes I want to start off with. It’s a pretty quiet Sunday.

From Blaine [3:31 PM]

Quiet with Rachel? Why do I find that hard to believe?

From Kurt [3:32 PM]

Probably because she’s Rachel. I mean if I had to take a wild guess.

From Blaine [3:33 PM]

Possibly. So how excited are you about NYADA? I’m so proud of you.

From Kurt [3:36]

Thanks. I’m elated to be honest. And it still seems too good to be true, you know? And I’d hate to walk into it with a pessimistic nature, but I seem to lose all the good things. Part of me wonders how long it’ll be before I lose this, too.

From Kurt [3:39 PM]

Wow. I just realized I probably drained all the holiday cheer out of your body with that last message.

From Blaine [3:41 PM]

No, you didn’t. I was thinking about something. I know what you mean though. I just think that you deserve NYADA and every good thing in this world and I’m sure you’ll get that. It’s your destiny, Kurt.

From Kurt [3:42 PM]

I appreciate that. You didn’t have to say that.

From Blaine [3:42 PM]

I didn’t have to but it’s true.

From Kurt [3:44 PM]

What were you thinking about? If you don’t mind me asking.

From Blaine [3:46 PM]

I was just wondering if I was one of those ‘good things’ you lost. I was wondering if you saw me as a bad guy now, not that I’m saying I don’t deserve to be penned as the bad guy… I was just wondering.

From Kurt [3:50 PM]

I see you as Blaine.

From Blaine [3:52 PM]

Go on…

From Kurt [3:52 PM]

There’s nowhere to go. Just Blaine. The same Blaine as before.

From Blaine [3:52 PM]

Just Blaine. Ok, I guess.

From Kurt [3:58 PM]

I would hope you weren’t one of the good things I lost. I thought we were supposed to be friends. I didn’t think I’d lost you.

From Blaine [3:59 PM]

You know what I mean. We’re friends, definitely, but when you left Ohio I know you saw me a lot differently than you do now, and thinking that you see me as one of the things you lost… I don’t know.

From Kurt [4:02 PM]

Did I lose you?

From Blaine [4:04 PM]

That’s hard to answer.

From Blaine [4:07 PM]

I feel that in a way, you believe you did. I know a lot of the things we talked about before you won’t talk to me about now. We could go to each other for anything when we were together… before the long distance and what happened… and now, I don’t think it’d be the same.

From Blaine [4:08 PM]

I’d like for it to be the same again. If you wanted it to be that way. Though I imagine it’d take time and… trust to get there again. Friends or not.

From Kurt [4:10 PM]

I still don’t think I lost you. Not after what you told me when we went ice skating.

From Kurt [4:10 PM]

But I do understand what you’re saying.

From Blaine [4:11 PM]

I meant every word of what I said, too. Just so you know.

From Kurt [4:12 PM]

I know. I’m happy you’re interested in applying to NYADA as well. I think you’d do great here.

From Blaine [4:14 PM]

Thanks. I hope you really mean that. I’d hate to make you feel uncomfortable.

From Kurt [4:15 PM]

I really mean that and I don’t see why I’d be uncomfortable.

From Blaine [4:17 PM]

Because I messed us up, Kurt.

From Kurt [4:18 PM]

And I honestly thought we agreed to stop bringing this up when you came to visit me.

From Blaine [4:21 PM]

I know. I can’t stop thinking about how different things could be right now, that’s all. It’s torture but it’s the least of what I should be going through.

From Blaine [4:24 PM]

I’ll stop.

From Kurt [4:27 PM]

You’ve told me sorry, I told you sorry. We forgave each other. I don’t see the need to beat yourself up over this.

From Blaine [4:28 PM]

The words alone don’t do enough, Kurt. That’s all.

From Kurt [4:30 PM]

The words don’t maybe, but your actions do. And I could hear your repentance in your voice when we spoke and I can see it when you give me that nervous half smile. I think I know you well and I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about.

From Kurt [4:31 PM]

You’re being harder on yourself than you need to be. I actually texted you because I wanted to smile… not to go back to that place.

From Blaine [4:32 PM]

It’d make my whole entire week if I could make you smile.

From Kurt [4: 34 PM]

You really haven’t changed at all. What are you doing anyway?

From Blaine [4:38 PM]

Are you saying that in a good way? And I went to Kentucky with Sam yesterday to see his family and hang out with his little brother and sister. They’re really sweet. We’re just getting back a couple hours ago.

From Kurt [4:40 PM]

I meant it in a good way, promise.

From Kurt [4:41 PM]

And that sounds like it was a lot of fun.

From Blaine [4:43 PM]

It was nice. I’m on my way to check on your dad now and take him something to the shop. The first day I went to the house, I caught him eating a cheese steak. I threatened to tell you and he’s been good ever since.

From Kurt [4: 45 PM]

I don’t know what to do with him.

From Kurt [4:45 PM]

I didn’t really think you’d watch him for me.

From Blaine [4:46 PM]

I told you I would.

From Blaine [4:47 PM]

The man is kind of like family to me.

From Kurt [4:50 PM]

Thanks a lot, Blaine.

From Blaine [4:51 PM]

It’s no problem at all.

From Blaine [4:54 PM]

You’re probably going to hate me so much for saying this but I miss you so much.

From Blaine [4:55 PM]

And I can’t wait to see you again. I mean as a friend-to-friend confession and all that jazz.

From Kurt [4:56 PM]

I miss you too, Blaine.

From Blaine [4:57 PM]

That’s awesome.

From Kurt [4:58 PM]

I know I’ve thanked you and my dad hundreds of times, but this Christmas was so special because of the both of you. So thank you again.

From Blaine [5:00 PM]

Thank you for letting me share it with you. That duet tradition means a lot to me.

From Kurt [5:01 PM]

To me too.

From Blaine [5:02 PM]

So is it okay if I pencil you in for next Christmas too?

From Kurt [5:02 PM]

I’d love that.

From Blaine [5:04 PM]

Excellent.

From Blaine [5:06 PM]

I know you don’t want to talk about it but I need to know if you think there’ll be a chance for us again one day?

From Blaine [5:09 PM]

Maybe when I graduate from McKinley and I’m in NY with you.

From Kurt [5:10 PM]

I don’t know.

From Blaine [5:11 PM]

Ok.

From Blaine [5:13 PM]

Maybe we can talk about it again some other time.

From Kurt [5:14 PM]

In person, maybe.

From Blaine [5:15 PM]

I’d like that.

From Kurt [5:16 PM]

Me too.

From Blaine [5:19 PM]

Well I’m at your dad’s shop.

From Kurt [5:22 PM]

I hope you weren’t texting and driving…

From Blaine [5:23 PM]

No, no. I felt like walking today. There’s snow everywhere.

From Kurt [5:23 PM]

And you love the snow so you refused to pass up the opportunity.

From Blaine [5:24 PM]

Guilty as charged.

From Kurt [5:27 PM]

You’re so predictable.

From Blaine [5:30 PM]

:-P

From Blaine [5:31 PM]

Remember last Christmas when we built that snowman together?

From Kurt [5:32 PM}

And you stole one of my bow ties to put on it.

From Blaine [5:33 PM]

And one of your scarves. Most fashionable snowman ever.

From Kurt [5:35 PM]

That was a lot of fun.

From Blaine [5:41 PM]

We went to the Lima Bean afterwards and you were freezing. You kept saying that snow was stupid.

From Kurt [5:43 PM]

And you bought me a huge coffee and let me wear those oversized mittens.

From Blaine [5:45 PM]

But they were warm.

From Kurt [5:47 PM]

They were warm.

From Blaine [5:49 PM]

I must’ve kissed you a hundred times that day.

From Kurt [5:51 PM]

203 times. Not that I was counting.

From Blaine [5:52 PM]

Now what would make me think that?

From Kurt [5:52 PM]

Shut up.

From Blaine [5:55 PM]

I wanted to kiss you so badly when you said goodbye to us at JFK before we boarded our flight. The hug was amazing but I really wanted to kiss you again. Sorry if I’m overstepping my boundaries.

From Kurt [5:57 PM]

It’s fine. I want you to feel free to say what you’d like, and to know that I’ve learned and that I’m always going to listen.

From Kurt [5:59 PM]

And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping you would have done it.

From Blaine [6:03 PM]

You can say that now but you would’ve hated me if I tried to.

From Kurt [6:05 PM]

Yeah, okay. I tried hating you, Blaine. I failed miserably.

From Blaine [6:07 PM]

I bet you don’t know how happy I am that we’re at the place we are now.

From Kurt [6:10 PM]

I think I have an idea.

From Kurt [6:12 PM]

Go hang out with my dad and do whatever you two do. Rachel and Brody are here and they’re making me watch some stupid movie with them. Can you call me when you get home?

From Blaine [6:12 PM]

Oh, okay. Yeah I can call you.

From Kurt [6:13 PM]

Promise?

From Blaine [6:14 PM]

Are you kidding me?

From Kurt [6:17 PM]

I love you.

From Blaine [6:17 PM]

I love you, too.
