Namesake.
Kurt's eyes sprang open at the sound of the alarm.
6:00 a.m.
"Oh my Gaga!" Kurt gasped at the time.
"6:00! I told daddy to set it to 5!" he sighed, leaping out of bed,
"Don't fathers understand the importance of a continuous schedule? How am I supposed to avoid wrinkles without a proper skincare regiment?" It wasn't like daddy Blaine was always this forgetful, well at least that's what granny told him. He had changed since…well, since papa died but no one liked to talk about that around Kurt.
Kurt took one final glance in the mirror, satisfied with his self-assembled outfit; he walked, rather sashayed down the stairs to an anticipated heap of presents and a banner that read "Happy 8th Birthday!" Usually the 7 turned 8 year old boy would have scoffed at the tackiness of it all but today was different, today was the opening of the 8th letter, the final letter from papa.
Before he died, papa wrote Kurt 8 letters to be received every year on his birthday. Of course, granny would have read them at first. Usually they would be about Kurt and how he would grow up to be like daddy but nevertheless, they were from papa and that's all that mattered.
There it was.
Sitting in between two large gift boxes (which Kurt hoped to be D&G) was a small pink envelope faded with age. Kurt greedily ripped open the envelope, hesitating for a moment at the sight of the 3 page message. It was longer than any other papa had written before "probably saved the best till last" Kurt smiled at the thought. He began to read,
Dear Kurt,
You're 8 years old today! Probably look like daddy don't you?
"No, I look like you!" Kurt huffed.
I've written these letters to you so part of me can always be with in your life, but today, now that you're old enough to understand; I'm going tell you the reason behind your name.
"My name?" Kurt already knew he was named after "Kurt" from "The Sound of Music", papa and daddy's favourite musical.
It started in high school, where daddy and I met, daddy was the lead singer of the "Warblers" and he had a best friend, his name was Kurt. Kurt Hummel.
