Finn kept glancing at Kurt, not because there was a drastic change but for once he was trying to analyze the exact change that made Kurt look so… different. Physical features wise, he’d grown taller but then again it wasn’t like Kurt was a midget to begin with. There are more muscles, and the shoulders are wider but again it’s not much of a difference. Even the face hasn’t changed all that much, the jaw’s wider, the eyes more narrow, the cheekbones more defined, but that just made Kurt look even more beautiful that he had been before. Finn feels weird thinking of his brother as someone ‘beautiful’ but he really was trying to find the single factor that made Kurt look so… Different! Hmmm so Kurt still has that effeminate look ‘Oh if only Rachel could have heard my thoughts, I just used one of the big words!’.

Anyway, so Kurt actually looked even more beautiful now. Oh OH, like those elves from Lord of the Rings movies. Ya, and he changed how he dresses, and the hairstyle too. … but that still just made him look more beautiful. And it’s not like his behaviour had changed or anything, the guy definitely wasn’t acting all macho. For gods sake, Kurt was cuddling and giggling with Blaine during the whole ride back home. It was only when Kurt moved that Finn first noticed it. It reminded of this thing he watched in discovery channel one day… well when he was trying to impress Rachel. In the show there were all these jaguars running and killing stuff. Kurt’s moments reminded Finn of those creatures. They looked so peaceful and serene, but in a second they were able to snap the neck of an animal that was twice it’s size. Ya, that’s what was different about Kurt … he had a different … aura. Finn felt so smart! He really wished sometimes that everyone could hear his thoughts. Then they’d know that he really thought about intelligent stuff.

Blaine and Kurt looked at the dumb look Finn had on his face…. And just snorted. Oh well Finn was just being Finn.

***************************

Blaine really wanted to touch Kurt tonight. But unfortunately he knew that Kurt has jetlag and since they have school tomorrow, it really wouldn’t be a good idea. But Blaine was feeling a little… lusty. Pouting in disappointment Blaine got under the covers and pretended to fall asleep… Kurt was doing his moisturizing routine.

Finishing everything up Kurt found it a little weird to see Blaine on the bed stiff as a board with his eyes clenched shut. It took Kurt a little while to figure out that Blaine was pretending to be asleep. He could barely hold in his laughter. Knowing he had to use this opportunity Kurt got on the bed, also crawling under the covers. Pretending to get comfortable he cuddled closer to Blaine, feeling the boy tremble a little. Slowly nuzzling against his neck Kurt placed a soft kiss there. Peppering more kisses until he’d reached Blaine’s cheek.

With a cry of frustration Blaine pushed Kurt away. “I was trying to let you sleep! Why do you have to make this even harder for myself!?” Kurt giggled as Blaine finally broke down.

“Oh Blaine. Look I’m really tired today, yes. And no we definitely won’t be having sex tonight. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make out or something before falling asleep.” Kurt tried to appease Blaine.

“No we can’t do that! I don’t know about you, but I really want you right now Kurt! I’ve practically been hard from the moment I saw you in the airport. So I don’t want to push you tonight.” Blaine crossed his arms and looked away.
Kurt frowned and thought about this for a moment. Finally he asked “Blaine tell me one thing that I can do tonight to make you feel better? Not full on sex, because I’m too tired but there must be something that’ll satisfy both you and me. And don’t worry I’m tired, but I’m not dying.” Seeing Blaine squirm, Kurt once again urged him to speak out.
Blushing Blaine looked up through his lashes and stuttered “Do, umm Do y-you think perhaps we could.. Well I mean, I w-want to. Like you won’t have to do anything so that would be good for you… and I’d get what I want too.”
Feeling confused, he asked what exactly Blaine wanted to do. Squirming once again Blaine finally spoke “I wa-want to … su-suck you. Like I don’t want a blowjob. Really I don’t want one, but I really want to give you one… would it be ok?”

Kurt wasn’t really that surprised, he’d known that Blaine wanted to do this for a long time. However he was confused as to why Blaine might not want one in return.

“So ummm.. why don’t you want me to give you one in return?”
“…Because I don’t think I’ll need one… so instead of talking, can we just do it?” Blaine was becoming a little frustrated now. He was embarrassed by the situation already.

Kurt just answered him with a kiss, taking those plump lips and claiming them, trying to memorize every inch of Blaine’s mouth. Kurt couldn’t believe that he had gone two months without kissing Blaine. Pushing those lips open he continued to explore, pulling Blaine closer to him. Little mewls and moans were escaping the boy’s lips, and he was clutching Kurt, one hand tangled in his hair, pulling their mouths together as if he never wanted to be parted from each other. One of Kurt’s hands travelled down Blaine’s body, touching the soft skin and grabbing that round ass. As he kneaded the flesh, Blaine gave a loud moan and rutted against him.

Blaine was frantically trying to get Kurt’s pants off of him. Desperate to finally taste the boy he loved. He’s been fantasizing about this for a long time. And for once, Kurt just laid back and let Blaine do all the work. He knew that Blaine had sacrificed a lot when he’d let Kurt go to Paris for two months. His boyfriend deserved a treat.

Blaine had travelled down under the covers and was now facing the outline of Kurt’s erect member. Giving in to temptation he pressed his face against the bulge, breathing in the musky scent of Kurt.

A gasp escaped from Kurt when he felt Blaine rub against him. It was so hot, he knew the boy was going to be the death of him.

With a trembling hand Blaine pushed down the fabric and pulled out the warm hard flesh. Blaine groaned as he felt the heat and didn’t want to tease Kurt any further… Probably because he himself couldn’t wait any longer. He peppered burning kisses all over the pale flesh, finally stopping when he reached the head. In the meanwhile, Kurt whispered “Take it in your mouth Blaine, didn’t you want to suck it?” moaning as Blaine immediately enveloped the head into his hot wet mouth.

Blaine moaned again as be lapped at the liquid seeping through the slit, knowing that he’s the first one to ever taste Kurt this way. He felt as if Kurt was taking over his entire being, and Blaine didn’t want to stop until they were one and the same.

He finally started to suck, letting Kurt’s cock slowly fill his mouth. This was the first time he was doing something like this, so he didn’t really have any clue as to what to do. However from reading stories, he knew that sucking and licking were always a must. Taking it as far as he could into his mouth, he sucked hard while caressing the rest of the length with his mouth. He was continuously moaning the whole time as well, loving the weight filing his mouth.

“Ahhhhhh… oh Blaine… shit, how are you so good at this?”

Blaine only sucked harder in response; he wanted Kurt to come in his mouth. He didn’t know if he’d be able to swallow it all, but damn, he was going to try his best! Almost frantic for his treat, Blaine was now sucking as hard as he could, twirling his tongue around the head. After awhile he felt Kurt’s hand trying to pull his head away.

“Bl-Blaine. Blaine! I’m going to come! Blaine st-stop sucking!”
Blaine refused to let go, now only sucking on the head. Kurt gave up trying to convince Blaine, only letting out a deep groan as he let go.

Warm fluid filled Blaine mouth and he swallowed as fast as he could. A little escaped from the corner of his lips but he was trying his best. Blaine moaned as he tasted Kurt, trying to get as much as possible. Licking his cock clean, giving it a final kiss he pulled up Kurt’s pants back up again. After that he crawled up on the bed and his head popped up from under the covers. Watching Kurt, who was panting, eyes closed.

When Kurt finally opened his eyes it was to see Blaine licking his lips, trying to get the remaining taste of Kurt’s essence. If Kurt hadn’t just come he was sure that he would’ve been rock hard looking at such a lusty site.

When Blaine saw the incredulous look Kurt had on his face, he blushed and said indignantly “You taste good! What am I supposed to do if I like it?” He averted his eyes in embarrassment.

Kurt tried to reassure his boyfriend. “I think you’re too hot baby. Sometimes I don’t think you can any sexier… and you just prove me wrong every time. Thanks a lot for that by the way. You were really good at it. If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve thought that you had practiced that.” Kurt finished with a wink. Blaine was very pleased at the fact that he’d been able to pleasure Kurt. Because every time they were intimate, Kurt always gave him so much pleasure that Blaine sometimes doubted if he got the same amount in return.

Meanwhile, Kurt remembered something “Oh sweetheart, let me take care of you now.”
It was Blaine’s time to smirk now, even though he was a little embarrassed.
“I told you that I wouldn’t need it. I came when you did.” Was Blaine’s smug reply, as if he was pleased with himself for finding so much pleasure in sucking off his boyfriend.
Shaking his head, Kurt pulled his Blaine closer for a kiss.

********************

The next day was going pretty well. Kurt was pleased to note that he could easily catch up in his classes. However it was during lunch that the trouble started… and of course in the name of Sebastian.

Blaine and Kurt were sitting with the rest of the Glee club. Everyone had been a little surprised at the change in Kurt’s appearance, but they just put that down to a growth spurt and they had expected that Kurt’s fashion sense might have changed a bit. After all, he WAS studying fashion for the past two months. They were at that moment listening to a story Kurt was recounting, when Kurt was introduced to Mark Jacobs.

“And Oh my god, you should’ve seen my face. I froze, and couldn’t speak. It was like—“

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Sebastian who had come to join the group.
“Ah, so Mr.Hummel has finally graced us with his presence. How was Paris Kurt? Did you go around taking a lot of pictures?”

“Hello to you too Sebastian. Nice to see that you haven’t changed a bit.”
“Ah I might not have, but someone certainly has. Trying to butch up? Sorry to inform you but your gay face is still on. And it’s going to ruin the image, no matter what hairstyle you get or clothes you wear.”
Of course personally Sebastian was shocked at how attractive Kurt was looking. But he certainly wasn’t about to admit that he’d ever want Kurt.

“hmmm then it’s a good thing that I’m not trying to go for the butch look, huh?” Kurt looked away and started a conversation with Brittany.
Sebastian frowned as he was ignored, and that just made him want to push Kurt’s buttons even more.
“Well I’ll have to thank you though. Since you left, Blaine and I got to know each other quite well. Our library sessions were very… stimulating. You wouldn’t believe at some of the things Blaine… knows.”
Sebastian smirked knowing that Kurt was going to retaliate with a smart response. However he was in for quite a shock. Actually everyone was stunned when Kurt practically leapt across the table, a hand clutching Sebastian’s collar bringing their faces close together. Their height was practically the same now, so Sebastian had a pretty good view of Kurt’s darkened eyes as he whispered “Stay away from him Seb, he’s mine, forever. I know that he didn’t do any of the shit you implied, and will never do them either. But don’t push my buttons; I don’t have time for someone like you. You may be attractive, but you’re just a whore in my eyes”. Kurt felt a little guilty when he saw a flash of hurt cross Sebastian’s face. But he really was angry, not only because of Seb’s behaviour but with his lifestyle in general.

It was Blaine that finally pulled his hand away from Sebastian’s collar. Giving it was soothing rub, trying to calm him down. The moment Kurt let him go, Sebastian turned and walked away without a second glance. This of course caused everyone to berate Kurt for his harsh words, while Blaine just looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

*************************

As Blaine and Kurt worked on their homework that day, Blaine wanted to bring up the topic of what happened today. There were two issues he wanted to address but he thought he’d start with the safer choice.

“Hey Kurt, can I ask you something?” Kurt just hummed.
“Today… at lunch. Why did you talk about me as though you owned me… and as if you’re sure that we’ll be together forever. I don’t mind if you think of us that way… I actually like it. But I think there was more to it than just possessiveness.”

Kurt’s eyes were hooded by his bangs. It looked like he was struggling with a decision.

Kurt wasn’t sure if he should tell Blaine about everything so early in their relationship. But perhaps it would be better if he just revealed everything… well all the stuff he accepted at least, he’s just leave out one tiny detail.

“Blaine, do you believe in soul mates? The Syrian’s as you know has some things that are different from humans. And one of those differences is that they have mates. Now don’t become too romantic, it’s not like that other person is the other half of their soul. But Syrians have these certain people in the world that is best matched with them. And since the population has become so large, it’s actually a little rare for Syrians to find their mate. We don’t search for our mates, but if we find them, we don’t let go of them.”

Blaine became a bit nervous, not having expected Kurt to reveal such vital information so unexpectedly. But then he guessed this might’ve been the best time.
“D-do you.. I mean, have you found your mate Kurt?” Blaine was conflicted, if he wasn’t Kurt’s mate…

Kurt ignored the question. “You haven’t seen me with my shirt off since my physical transformation right?” Kurt started to take his shirt off, and turned his back toward Blaine.

Blaine was surprised to see what looked like a tattoo on Kurt’s back, but he knew that it was no tattoo. On both his shoulder blades there was intricate patterns and design, which was connected to the nape of Kurt’s neck. Connected to what looked like two circles mashed together; an eternity sign. One of the circles was filled however, with a spiral design.

Blaine listened as Kurt explained the meaning of the markings. “Every Syrian has markings on their back… well the full blooded ones at least. And those that only have a little bit of Syrian blood have unmarked skin.. until or if they find and bond with their mates that is. And Syrian’s only mate with others that have some Syrian blood in them, we can’t mate with humans. Don’t worry about the designs on the shoulder blades. Most don’t have those, it’s just something only those of royal blood has. Anyway, it’s the circle at the nape of the neck that’s important. It’s called the mating mark. Those circles remain blank until a Syrian has found and marked their mate. Then it fills up with a symbol that only the two mates have. Sometimes we find our mates but because of circumstances we’re not able to be together. Anyway, basically it’s considered to be privilege to find your mate. “

Blaine was no longer focused on the explanation. He was transfixed by the one filled circle.
“Am… am I your mate Kurt? Please tell me I am… I know I’m a human… but.. please” Blaine chocked out.
Immediately Kurt went to Blaine pulling him towards the mirror, showing him the mark on his neck that had been hiding behind his curls.
“Of course you’re my mate stupid. Who else would be my mate besides you?” Kurt kissed Blaine trying to reassure him. Blaine once again looked at his neck, finding a single circle with that same swirly design.

He sighed happily. “But kurt, does that mean I’m not human?”
“ummm no baby, I’m pretty sure that you’re 99% human, but one of your ancestor must have mated with a Syrian, so you inherited a little of the blood. It’s diluted, but it still works.” Kurt was relieved that Blaine seemed to have taken the news rather well.
“oh, but ummm… we didn’t have full on sex Kurt. How come my mark already appeared? When did you first see it?”
Kurt scratched his head “Well see it depends on the couple, some has to have sex, while for others it only takes the touch of fingertips. I noticed it after the first time we kissed. I didn’t pursue you that hard before because I wasn’t really sure if you were my mate or not. And as I said, yes it’s a privilege, but say if I had found that you wouldn’t accept my heritage… then I wouldn’t have gone any further with our relationship, even though you were my mate. Basically it varies from person to person, the only similarity we all have is that we like it when our mates are pure.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“…. Ummm… maybe I shouldn’t have said that….”

Blaine just gave Kurt a look, causing him to wince. “Ok you know how violent we are right? And aggressive? Now imagine we find our mate, then we find out that our mate is basically a whore that’s been with a lot of people…. Can you imagine the combination? That’s what leads to a lot of rejection in mating. Especially if the dominant partner is full blooded. Anyway, it basically causes a lot of complications.” Chuckled Kurt, though Blaine could hear an undertone of pain in his voice.

Kurt pulled Blaine closer to him “And that’s why I’m glad that you have only been touched by me. I’m one of the violent ones Kurt…. We can control our emotions in every situation. We usually never ever hurt our mates. We’re violent yes, but we’re not animals. And even with Azimo, I probably could’ve stopped myself if it was any other time but then… because it was built up pressure that exploded on him. Anyway, the point is we can handle anything, BUT our mate cheating. Seeing them with others messes up our mind in ways that we have yet to understand. If we know that our mate has been with others, that’s the only time we can’t control our emotions. I’m just so glad to have you Blaine, I know that you’ll never betray me.”

Blaine smiled and asked a last question. Knowing that it would be the ultimate explanation for some of Kurt’s behaviour that’s been bothering him.

“Kurt, … Why do you have two circles on your neck? One that is filled and one that’s blank?”

It felt like the temperature dropped down ten degrees. The kiss that Kurt pressed to his cheek felt cold and feral, his voice like the arctic, Kurt whispered “Don’t worry baby, it’s just an unwanted complication”

Blaine closed his eyes, feeling all the puzzle pieces coming together. It was as if a veil had suddenly been lifted from his eyes, but surprisingly it showed a view that he had already guessed, actually come to accept and perhaps even welcomed. Blaine knew that he’d have to be the one to show Kurt that everything would be ok.

Without fear Blaine leaned closer to Kurt and pulled him into his arms, feeling the rigid cold body.
Hot lips pressed down and a sweet whisper filled the air “Don’t worry baby, I accept you for who you are. It’s you who’s denying yourself”

Blaine felt Kurt shudder and it was as if all the ice was melting away, and he could feel that Kurt knew exactly what he was talking about.
“I… I can’t do it Blaine. I get so angry…”
Blaine just pulled him in even closer, trying to comfort him.
“Don’t worry, when the time is right. I’ll be there with you every step of the way.”
