This fic is not intended to be Thutner. It's universal
This fic also contains major spoilers about Simple Explanation, though I'm guessing that even if you haven't seen it, you probably know what happened by now, because this secret isn't' being kept very well.
A letter to Kutner in Thirteen’s name
Kutner,
What were you thinking? Didn’t you know we cared about you? Didn’t you know we would have listened?
Everything’s different without you. We’re all pretending we’re okay, but none of us are. We just don’t want to let everyone else in. The three of us—me, you, Taub—we were a team. We had a weird kind of relationship, something that comes from being forced to compete against each other for so long before we were aloud to be friends. It meant we could joke with each other. It meant he could take whatever purposeless task House had us on and make it fun, like a game. It meant we could just look each other and tell what the other person was thinking. It was something just between the three of us, that no one else could ever understand. Why would you want to give that up? It comes around once in a life time.
Well, there won’t be any games anymore. Taub and I can hardly look at each other without bursting into tears. It’s an unspoken thing. It’s another thing that’s just between the three of us. No one else could possibly understand how Taub and I are feeling, not even House or Foreman, and even though this sounds really twisted, there’s some kind of comfort in that. It’s like when we lost Amber, only a million times worse, because we didn’t work with Amber for two years. There was something about being the ones that made it.
I just want you to know that I hope you’re still watching, because we’re not through with you. Just because you lose the game doesn’t mean you’re finished playing, and I know, trust me, I know, that even though sometimes it looks like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, there always, always is. I just wanted you to know that, because I know that you thought this was the easy way out, but it wasn’t. I just wanted you to know that because I’m mad at you right now, because I never got to say goodbye.
