Blue Crayon and Best Friends
"Mommy, I don't want to go in there! Please don't make me go!" 5 year old Blaine Anderson cries as he clings for dear life to the hem of his mother's skirt.
"Don't worry sweetheart, kindergarten is going to be lots of fun! You'll get to meet little boys just like you and you get to play with toys and read books all morning!" his mother tries to assure him. She bends down and kisses her sons mop of wonderfully curly hair.
"Are you sure Mommy? It's so big, and there are so many people! What if they try to eat me?" Blaine worries irrationally.
"I promise that no one will try to eat you Blaine, Miss Fabray will make extra sure ever has their snack so they won't need to eat you!" she jokes, it elicits a small giggle from Blaine. "There's my baby boy!" she smiles.
"I'm not a baby Mommy! I'm a big boy!" Blaine says matter-of-factly. He huffs out his chest and flexes his tiny little arms miming big muscles.
"Wow you really are! And big boys don't have any problem going to kindergarten right?" she asks the tiny boy.
"Right!" Blaine laughs mightily.
"Good, go have fun! And draw Daddy and I lots of pictures!" she tells her son.
"I will!" Blaine says. He leans up to kiss his mom's tanned cheek. She crouches down so he can and smiles wide as he watches her baby boy twaddle off into kindergarten.
As soon as Blaine walks into the big kindergarten classroom he's enveloped in a sea of glorious colours and shapes. Everything seems so interesting and his small 5 year old brain doesn't know where to start exploring first.
He walks over to the trucks lying on a carpet map of a city. It's right next to a book shelf filled with tons of picture books Blaine is itching to read. The choice is difficult for Blaine, the trucks and the pictures both overwhelmingly enticing. But finally he chooses to go over and look at the books.
Just as he's about to pull a book with some funny looking animals on the front of it off the shelf Blaine hears a strangled sobbing noise, much like the ones he'd been making a few minutes earlier. He pushes the book back onto the shelf and peers around the back of the shelf into the small space left between it and the wall.
He sees a small boy, not much bigger than him, curled up into a ball hugging his knees and crying his beautiful ocean blues eyes out. Instantly Blaine's heart hurts for the sad little boy. He looks to make sure no one was watching him before crawling into the tight space to sit next to the boy.
"Hi!" Blaine says trying to get the boy's attention.
"H-hi" the boy sniffles. He takes the tissue he had in his hand and rubs under his nose and eyes. "I'm Kurt" the pretty boy says in a shy voice.
"Hi Kurt! That's a pretty name" Blaine comments, that seems to spark a smile in the boy.
"Thank you. What's your name?" Kurt asks.
"Blaine!" Blaine says excitedly. "I'm new here!" he exclaims ecstatically.
"Me too!" Kurt giggles softly.
"Why were you crying Kurtie?" Blaine asks.
"The other boys were making fun of me for playing with the dolls, and I miss my Mama!" Kurt cries again.
"They're just being meany-heads! Dolls are awesome!" Blaine assures the tiny, pale boy crying beside him.
"Really?" Kurt asks incredulously.
"Totally! And can I tell you a secret?" Blaine says. Kurt nods enthusiastically. "I miss my Mommy too!" he whispers. Kurt's eyes go wide as if he'd never have believed that someone else felt the same as him.
"Kindergarten stinks!" both boys say at the same time. They fall into a fit of giggles.
"Kurt, will you be my best friend?" Blaine asks when they stop giggling.
"You want me to be your best friend?" Kurt wonders completely astonished. "Don't you have to be friends before you can be best friends?"
"I don't think it matters! Besides you're really pretty! And I don't want to be your friend first; I just wanna be best friends!" Blaine admits sheepishly, his cheeks flare with a blush.
"You're really pretty too Blaine" Kurt admits, also blushing furiously. "And I'd love to be your best friend" he adds.
"That's totally awesome!" Blaine says victoriously. "Do you wanna go draw with me? I promised my mommy and daddy that I'd draw them pictures and I wanna draw them a picture of you!" Blaine asks.
"Sure!" Kurt giggles. The boys lock hands tightly and crawl out of the space behind the bookshelf. They walk over to a table in the corner of the room and start colouring their little hearts out.
At the end of the day each boy had a picture to bring home to his mommy and daddy and a new friend to look forward to seeing tomorrow.
And 25 years later the picture of Kurt and Blaine drawn in blue crayon that Blaine created the very first day of kindergarten still hangs on the fridge at his parent's house in Westerville, Ohio as he marries the man he'd loved since the very start.
