Chapter 1: You Promised

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, even though I wish I could.

Blaine looked up from his cake and swore he was imagining things. "Kurt?" He asked aloud, heart starting to beat faster. Even after 3 years, Kurt still had that effect on him. The figure disappeared into the crowded courtyard but he had to follow. Blaine set the plate down and ducked through the crowds, all in high celebration.

In the distance he heard women squealing as the bouquet was tossed. 'Kurt would love that,' he mused to himself. Blaine paused and headed towards the commotion on a whim. New suit and new shoes, but it was Kurt. Heart pounding in his chest, he tapped the shoulder.

"Blaine? What are you doing here?" were the first words out of Kurt's mouth. Not even with so much as a hug.

"It's Rachel and Finn's wedding, of course I'm here. Where the hell have you been for the last 3 years?"

Kurt sighed. "You weren't supposed to see me. I-I can't do this."

Blaine put both hands on his shoulders. "Please talk to me. At least explain why you just vanished one day without even a letter to say goodbye."

"No. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go." Kurt took a step back, turned and was gone one again leaving Blaine confused and disoriented.

"Blaine!" Rachel called out to him, walking over in her wedding dress. They hugged.

He had to force a smile. "You look beautiful as always."

"Oh, thank you. I thought I heard yelling over here, is everything okay?"

"I just had a run in with..." The look in his eyes said it all. "And he just walked away and I don't know what I did to him to make him hate me."

"He doesn't hate you. But he has to explain it to you himself when he's ready. I love you, if you want to talk, find me or Finn." They hugged again and Rachel went back to the bridal party.

Blaine stood there shell shocked for a few minutes. Everyone else knew something he didn't. It was going to drive him insane until he figured it out. But first, he had to get through the reception and appear as if nothing was wrong. For Rachel and Finn's sake.

5 hours of dancing, eating and champagne later, the party slowly started to thin out. The bridal party, groomsmen were the last ones to go besides Blaine. He had to try to find out more information on the boy that he still loved deeply.

"Finn, we got close when I was with Kurt, right?"

"Of course, man. Rachel told me. Anything I can do?"

"Is there anything more you can tell me that will make it easier until I can talk to him again?"

"Um, he's already gone again Blaine. He will write a letter or call occasionally but he's gotten so good at being invisible that we never know. We didn't even know if he would make it out here today or not. Kurt didn't want to see you, not because he doesn't care about you but because he figured it would be easier with time if he was just gone."

Blaine sighed and tried to control his emotions. "If I write a letter, would you please send it to him whenever you get a chance?"

Their eyes locked, Finn agreed. "Thank you, I really appreciate it. And congratulations again on marrying Rachel. I always rooted for you guys. It was good to see the rest of the Glee club again too."

"Yeah, a huge reunion. We're going to head out, would you like to join us?"

"Come on, we're good company," Rachel added.

"Thank you, but I'm going to head home. Maybe over the weekend we can do something."

Rachel and Finn agreed, said their goodbyes and were gone leaving Blaine standing in the exact spot he spoke to Kurt only hours before. Finally, the tears could flow freely.

Blaine shut his front door and curled up on the leather chair that Kurt used to love. He had pushed it into a corner and covered it for so long in hopes of forgetting. He could faintly smell Kurt's scent, Herbal Essence and after shave. He reached over to the chest of drawers and pulled out the ring he bought Kurt only days before he disappeared.

"You promised, Kurt," he whispered. He put the ring back in the bottom drawer, grabbed a pad of paper and a pen and began to write the letter.

Dearest Kurt,

I still can't imagine what caused all of this. Remember the day when you transferred back to McKinley all those years ago, I sang "Somewhere Only We Know" to you and you promised to never say goodbye. After Nationals, we exchanged our first 'I love you's' at the coffee shop. I had a ring for you, wanted to spend my life with you.

I don't know if that means anything to you. You barely looked me in the eyes at the wedding. After 3 years. I thought you were better then that.

"Just know I'll always love you but right now I just don't like you"

You probably won't respond to this, and that's fine. I hope you're happy with whatever/whoever is in your life right now. Courage, Kurt.
