Peeling the Second Layer

Blaine had spend the last hour just sitting on that couch, crying, thinking, drinking the hot chocolate Carol had given to him… Just basically tying to process all the information he had been given. Carol was preparing dinner, Finn had disappeared off to somewhere and Burt was watching the television, waiting for Blaine to calm down. Blaine found it a little funny that all normal activities were going on while he felt that the world had been ripped out from beneath his feet.

Blaine knew that he needed some kind of proof, some kind of an explanation. He was having a hard time seeing a connection between his sweet boyfriend and someone violent. His boyfriend was a DIVA for gods sake!!! ‘Well he does…dominate me sometimes..’ thought Blaine with a blush. But that didn’t matter, because being a top didn’t automatically make a person into the prince of an aggressive race. But even more than answers, Blaine needed to see his boyfriend again.

“Burt… I need to see Kurt. Then I have some questions”
Burt didn’t argue, he just nodded and led Blaine down the stairs.

It appeared that Finn had been guarding the door. When he Burt and Blaine came downstairs, he whispered “Kurt just got to sleep, I took off his bindings and I don’t think he’ll wake up till morning. He’s in a deep sleep, but I’d still prefer it if you guys didn’t make much noise. No use taking the risk of him waking up. He’ll be a lot more coherent in the morning.” explained Finn as he opened the door to Kurt’s bedroom.

While Burt stood near the door, Blaine approached the bed sitting down near Kurt. For a minute for two he couldn’t look Kurt in the face. He instead focused on his boyfriend’s pale delicate hands, the slender neck and lithe body curled beneath the covers. Finally unable to take it anymore, he took a peek at Kurt’s face. Blaine’s breath caught in his throat as he looked at the now peaceful face, a face that had an animalistic expression just a couple of hours ago, one with such haunting eyes. Yet the moment he looked upon his boyfriend he resigned himself to a fact that he always knew. No matter now much his brain screamed about danger, he knew that he would never leave Kurt. Even if in the future this situation became a hundred times worse, or if Kurt changed drastically. He knew that as long as Kurt continued to love him, and even if Kurt’s love for him changed. Blaine was now a hundred percent sure that he only belonged to one Kurt Hummel………belonged to Kurt En El Cambrian.

Having his priorities straight, Blaine got up. He now needed answers. Because Blaine was going to get all the information he could. Blaine now had the single goal of helping Kurt handle all of this.

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

“Ok, Kid. There are some things that we won’t be able to tell you, because you’re not yet a formal part of the Syrian society. I mean we only get so much leeway. There’s some other stuff that Kurt will tell you. There’s some stuff that we don’t know, cuz we don’t know what will happen. And other than Kurt related, try to keep questions about the Syrians to a minimum. Cuz you’ll only get to know everything about them if Kurt comes to accept his heritage. So let’s have a Q&A session…” Burt gave the floor to Blaine.

“I have a lot of questions but I guess I’ll start with the most obvious one. What’s happening to Kurt?”

Burt frowned “Look we’re a little confused about it too, and we have a couple of theories but those haven’t been confirmed yet. Basically something triggered the dark part of Kurt to come out….and this is the result. Something triggered the transformation that he stooped from completing years ago. And today it just got completed. The physical part is done, but the mental part is gonna take a little time. We’re gonna have to be patient for awhile as both his sides slowly merges together.”

“Look I don’t understand what you mean by both sides. Is it like he had an alter ego or something?”

This time it was Carol that spoke up. “I guess you need to know what exactly it was that Kurt did. And no it’s not like an alter ego. You know how sometimes you might get darker thoughts? And you just ignore it right? Well Kurt practically did the same thing, but he’s not a human. So all those dark thoughts, his strength, and basically every characteristic of the Syrian… he ignored all of them and focused on the stuff that the Syrian had in similar with humans. He pushed that part of himself away, and hid it all somewhere deep in his mind.”

“What I don’t get is how Kurt could just beat up Azimo so suddenly. I mean he’s been bullied for years! If he could do this why didn’t he stand up for himself before? And I know you said that he controlled the anger and stuff, but I’ve seen Kurt angry all the time. Also the Kurt I know seems a lot more different from this one. Kurt is so much like a …. Well like a diva! This one is a completely different Kurt!” Blaine was having a hard time associating some of these things with the kind and gentle boy he knew.

“Ok first let me tell you what would’ve happened if Kurt hadn’t rejected that part of himself. He would’ve just grown up like a normal young man going through life, would’ve trained to control his powers, and would now be in training to take over for his father one day. And now let me tell you the consequences for what he did. We’ve never had a Syrian trying to suppress their nature before, so this is all theoretical. When he hid and locked away that part of himself, he still grew up as a normal young man. However in that moment he managed to basically create a dual personality, consisting off all the things about himself that he had rejected. That part of himself was hidden for all these years, yet for the past few weeks it had been trying to get out. So today, something finally trigged it enough that his latent nature finally showed itself. This made it so that today his body finally grew up into how he was supposed to be if he had not been hiding that part of himself. I know that you went to see him, but you’ll see tomorrow morning that there will a few changes to him physically. Nothing drastic, since Syrian do look like human, it’s their hidden strength, magic and personality that differentiates them. Anyway, so the physical thing was easy, it’s the mental part that we have to worry about for the next couple of months.”

“So what? Will Kurt be…like bipolar now? And what about the whole bullied for years thing?”

Burt winced at that. He felt partially guilty because he’s never stopped Kurt from hiding that part of his nature. He never encouraged it, but he knew that he should’ve allowed Kurt to reject a part of him.
“ No kid. Well actually ya, he’ll act bipolar for awhile, we don’t exactly know for how long. But see it’s not like that other side of him is another personality. It’s still basically Kurt, just a different side of him that we’ve never seen before. What will happen is that slowly both sides will merge and we’ll finally have Kurt as he was meant to be…. It sounds easy, but it won’t be. You’ll have Kurt being nice one moment, and next thing you know he might become violent. And with the bully thing… that was just Kurt testing his control. He didn’t display any of his strength because he wanted to see if he would be able to maintain his control when he finally left school. Remember that Kurt rejected his heritage, so he expected that he’d be living his life as a human. And Kurt got angry, but that was a human level anger. Today you just got a tiny glimpse of Syrian Kurt anger. And I know that Kurt is a little eccentric, and you know what that really is Kurt too, I doubt that part of him will change too much as he merges. Also remember that Kurt isn’t human, he just kept the stuff that Syrian’s and humans have in common. Kurt is a full blooded Syrian”

Carol interrupted “Look Blaine, what we’re trying to say is that Kurt hasn’t been acting for all these years. What he was doing is showing only a part of him to the whole world. The part of him he thought would fit in with human society. He hid the Syrian part of himself. And in these couple of months, you’ll finally get to know the real Kurt, or more like you’ll finally see everything about Kurt. In fact you see the more masculine side of him come out, I know that he looks a little feminine and even acts like that a few times. But I’m sure that you’ve seen a more aggressive side of him too right?” Carol gave Blaine a knowing look, and Blaine blushed as he thought of the moments Kurt would take charge when they were intimate.

Carol became serious again “You’ll see the darker side of Kurt too, do you think you’ll be able to handle it?”

Burt, Carol and Finn were surprised when they heard the conviction and intensity in Blaine’s voice.
“I love him. I’m just angry that Kurt felt that he had to hide a part of himself. I will love him no matter how he changes. But most importantly I think it’s time that Kurt faces the truth. He doesn’t have to inherit the empire or anything, but he needs to have a talk with his father and accept that he’s a …. Syrian.”

Burt and Carol looked at each other, relieved, feeling that Kurt had been blessed with the perfect mate. Though they both winced thinking about the other surprise that awaited the boys. It wasn’t going to be pretty, but Burt and Carol knew that with how much Blaine loved Kurt… they would get through it, and Blaine might even be the reason Kurt accepts the other complication.

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

Blaine slept on the sofa bed in the living room that night. In the morning he helped Carol prepare breakfast, and was now carrying a tray filled with food to Kurt’s room.

Placing the tray on a nearby table Blaine smiled as he saw Kurt wrapped in his bed sheets. ‘He’s so adorable in the morning’ Blaine thought with a soft smile.

Stroking his boyfriend’s cheek Blaine was surprised to notice that there was something a little different about Kurt’s face. Looking closer he noticed that Kurt’s cheekbones were a bit more defined, the face a little wider, the lips a little fuller. Kurt was still beautiful…even more so now, but there was a more mature man aura around his features rather than little boy. Looking further Blaine was sure that Kurt might’ve grown a few more inches and his shoulders might’ve gotten broader. ‘Ok so if the other see him are we supposed to say that he had a overnight growth spurt… well I guess it is kind of the truth… hmmm, well the differences aren’t that drastic so it might be ok…. And besides, I think he’s hot!’

Blaine kissed that cheek, “Baby, wake up. I brought you breakfast, are you hungry? you didn’t have dinner last night you know.”
Kurt whined and turned, not wanting to get up, while Blaine continued to coax him awake. When Kurt’s eyes finally opened, Blaine uttered a “Good Morning” trying to keep from squealing like a little girl. Because while Kurt’s eyes has always been gorgeous… they were an amazing site now. A cerulean colour that sometimes simmered silver, with flecks of emerald and gold everywhere.

Kurt yawned and sat up, smiling as Blaine bounced excitedly setting the tray on Kurt’s lap. It was only halfway through breakfast that Kurt remembered what had happened yesterday. And he also hadn’t forgotten that Blaine had seen him too. Kurt became resigned to the fact that Blaine must know about his secret now, because otherwise his boyfriend would never be this calm in this kind of situation otherwise. For the rest of the meal Kurt couldn’t look Blaine in the eyes and was dreading the moment they’d have to talk. ‘I mean who wants a boyfriend that’s not even human? I know that he’s gonna break up with me………well try to anyway. Not that I’ll let him. He’ll see the part of me that he fears pretty soon if he tries to break up’ Kurt shuddered as he noticed the dark thoughts he was having. Realizing that his worst fears had come true.

***********************
Blaine could tell that Kurt had been avoiding his gaze. So he decided that he would have to take the first step. “Kurt I’m going to tell you everything that happened since yesterday after I saw you. I just want you to listen. Can you do that for me?”
Kurt finally looked up at Blaine after a couple of minutes and gave a quick nod.
Blaine recounted every single details of yesterday’s event. Not leaving anything out, because he wanted Kurt to understand that he knew everything and accepted it all. And Kurt would also know if there was something Blaine had to know too.

Blaine finally finished the explanation with “I’ll tell you what I told Carol. I accept you for who you are or who you’ll become. I know that you might protest and say that I have no clue, but I’m ready Kurt. I love you and in the next couple of months, I’ve going to help you to love yourself, especially all the parts of you that you rejected.”

Kurt stared at Blaine in awe, realizing that he had really found the perfect mate. He pulled Blaine into a tight hug, feeling tears gather at the corner of his eyes. Feeling like maybe he had some things to explain as well, Kurt recounted his side of things considering yesterday’s events. Finishing with a “And I was just so angry Blaine, just so angry. I really couldn’t think straight. All that was coming to my mind was that you both didn’t have my permission to touch each other and that you two were disobeying me”

Blaine was a little confused at the ‘you both, and you two’ part, but ignoring that weird feeling, he felt that he should explain to Kurt exactly what happened.

Wish guilty face and a blush Blaine finally whispered, “I was jealous. I know it sounds stupid, but I was jealous that you were paying so much attention to Sebastian. Ok, I know that you were ignoring him, but in that you kind of were ignoring me too. Last time we saw Sebastian you were holding me to you and acting jealous. But suddenly you were ignoring the both of us, and I felt a little as if you didn’t care anymore. That day Sebastian was also edging me on by saying that you didn’t care about me much and that I should leave such a selfish boyfriend. I wanted to prove him wrong… and I wanted your attention again I guess. I didn’t make any moves on him, but when I saw that he was going to kiss my cheek, I didn’t stop him. Because I knew that you were watching us. I didn’t want you to get mad at him, but I was just trying to show him that you care about what the two of us do because I knew that you’d probably storm up and do something. I know it sounds weird but I don’t know, guess I wasn’t really thinking straight. And I know that Sebastian is really annoying but I don’t think you should be mad at him Kurt. He’s really not a bad person. I think he’s just looking for attention. Anyway, so like ya. We don’t have anything going on behind your back or anything… “

Kurt stared as his boyfriend kept blabbing and finally unable to help himself Kurt burst out laughing. Finding it hilarious that the root of all the trouble was a little jealous revenge. Looking at his boyfriend’s confused puppy look, Kurt wrapped Blaine into a hug. Both feeling after a long time that no matter what came their way, they were going to be alright.
