🪮 — 1989, Olympia, WA.

'The lady whom I feel maternal love for cannot look me in the eyes,'

You and Kurt had been dating for a little over a year. He was in a band called ‘Nirvana’ and they had just released their first album, ‘Bleach’. Kurt's only hope in the world was to make good music and be successful. And you supported him in that. ‘Whatever makes him happy, right?’ you'd tell yourself. But you were wrong.

Kurt refused to brush and wash his hair for weeks at time. It may not seem like a big deal, but really it was. Because in your eyes, this one act of not brushing his hair would affect his mental health in the near future. That's exactly how you worded it, and Kurt would mock you as you said it.

Everyone around you said that you treated Kurt like he was your child instead of your boyfriend, but you denied it. Yeah, you denied it up until Kurt was sitting on your lap as you brushed out the knots from his freshly clean hair.
