A letter to Kurt, from Blaine. Written shortly before Kurt leaves for New York, but not being read until he's already there.
Dear Kurt,
By the time you read this, you’ve probably unpacked half of your things and are currently debating what parts of Rachel’s wardrobe you want to set on fire. (Be nice, I’m sure she still needs to go shopping. At least leave her a few outfits to wear)
I already miss you more than words can say. I’m so glad you ultimately decided to go to New York right after graduation instead of waiting until the end of summer. I think we both know the temptation to stay would have been far too much.
I’m writing this three days before your expected departure, so some of the things I write may be things I said to you upon saying goodbye at the airport. We both probably cried a ridiculous amount.
You were always destined for greatness, Kurt. From the first moment I saw you on that staircase and you took the breath right out of my lungs, I knew you were special. Even if it took me a few months to realise just how special you were, I always knew you were bigger than Ohio.
I love you more than words can possibly express. It’s been an amazing year of ups and downs, but we always came out on top. I have faith in us, and I have faith in you that we’re going to make it.
One year, Kurt. In one year I get to join you in New York. In the meantime, we’ll have the holidays and Skype, in between that we’ll have hurried phone calls and sneaky texts during class.
McKinley won’t be the same without you. It’s going to be hard driving there every morning knowing that you won’t be waiting at my locker. Knowing that I won’t have anyone to hold hands with when I walk to class, no one to steal glances at during performances.
It’s going to be so hard, sitting by myself in the choir room. All I’ll be able to think about is the small moments we shared. Me leaning on your shoulder while Rachel sang a ballad, or us looking at each other and smiling when someone sang a love song.
I’ll be lonely, I know. But I’ll be okay. So will you. I’ve got Tina and Artie, and you’ve got Rachel. Finn will follow shortly after you guys arrive, I’m sure. I know he made a fuss about staying in Ohio, but he loves Rachel. He’s not just going to give her up that easily.
Kurt, you are going to be amazing. You’re going to kick ass at University, and you’ll shine brighter than the rest. Bet that made you laugh, roll your eyes, and call me a sap, didn’t it? Good, Blaine Anderson still has it. (Made you laugh again, didn’t I?)
I know you’re probably sitting on a box, your chin resting on your hand as you read through this. I can just see the sunlight shining just right to make your eyes sparkle. Don’t roll your eyes, it’s true. You know I love your eyes.
I’m really going to miss looking into them.
People may say we aren’t going to be okay, but I have faith. I have faith in us, and I have faith in our ability to communicate. There isn’t a day that goes by that you aren’t on my mind at least once. We’re going to survive this, Kurt. We’re going to survive this and be we’ll be better because of it.
You’re everything I ever dreamed of and hoped for. You are amazing and I wouldn’t have you any other way. Regardless of what happens, you’re perfect. You’re perfect to me, and that’s all that matters.
Also, Jacob showed me the interview that you and Rachel gave him at the beginning of the year.
Married by 30. Legally.
Sounds like a plan to me, my love.
I love you. Remember if you need me, I’m only a phone call away.
Forever yours,
-Blaine
