The rest of the weekend passed by in a flurry of cuddles, kisses and small talks. The topic of Syrians didn’t come up until Sunday night and even then it was for another purpose entirely. Kurt had already told Blaine that he thought Blaine had all the basic information and that any more on the subject could be discussed later as the merging developed further. Blaine really didn’t agree with this decision, he felt as if Kurt was keeping some vital information away from him, but Blaine knew that the best thing to do now would be to be patient. He was reluctant to agree and made sure Kurt understood that.

As they lay down in bed that night, Blaine suddenly remembered a big issue. Quite a few actually.
“Hey! I just remembered…. What’s happening to Azimo? What’ll happen if he tells someone about what you did? And who were those people that took him away? Oh and before you become depressed, NO I am not mad at your behaviour of beating him up. He had it coming!” Kurt was a little surprised to see that even his dapper, gentle boyfriend had such a blood thirsty nature.

Feeling a little happy he replied “They’re… people that come when I’m in danger or perhaps I need something to be done. Look I know that everyone might think that I hate my father… but I don’t, he’s a good man. We’re just a little angry with each other. We haven’t talked to each other for years but he makes sure that I’m protected. I used to get really angry about it, but after what happened with Azimo, I think there was a reason for all this. And ya perhaps it was wrong for me to hide my nature, but what did my father expect? He put me together with humans, and he thought that I wouldn’t be disgusted by our nature when I felt so out of place sometimes? Believe me I love by dad, and I was happy growing up here, but father could’ve at least visited once in awhile, to tell me that … that everything was alright.” Kurt took a deep breath unable to continue. Blaine on the other hand was happy that his boyfriend was finally opening up a little.
“Anyway, so about Azimo. He’s probably been taken to a hospital. They’ll tell the school that he’s transferred or something and believe me, he won’t utter a word about all that happened. He’d be lucky to even remember anything.” Blaine watched with wide eyes at the dark satisfied smirk that sat on Kurt’s lips. Blaine was finally getting a little taste of the dark Kurt everyone has been talking about… and funny enough instead of being scared… he was feeling a little…hot. Ashamed Blaine looked away, berating himself for being a freak, but he couldn’t stop from taking a peek at that smirk again.

“Oh Kurt, how come Carol and Finn know about all this? …. Like they seemed to know even more than Burt!”

“Hmmmm actually I got pissed once I found out. Because you see Carol had been assigned to keep an eye on me by Father. She works for him, and her husband used to be a quarter Syrian… so Finn has a little bit of Syrian blood in him. I know it clashes with his personality… but ya, he gets weird when it comes to protecting me. Anyway, I didn’t know anything about this until a couple of months ago. But at least Dad knew all about it. They kind of fell in love after Dad learned about her job of protecting me. And you know the rest.”

“oh ok.. that’s kind of romantic. Heheh, so are you going to school tomorrow? Cuz you do know that you look different right? You think anyone would notice?”

“OH shit! I grew at least six inches… and I think I got fatter. I look so weird now! Even my face is different. And oh my god! None of my cloths will now fit!!! Shit, I have to go shopping tomorrow. Fuck school, my wardrobe is a mess!” Blaine watched amused as his boyfriend freaked out about fashion. He knew that no matter how his boyfriend changed, his love of fashion would remain. “Kurt… Kurt! You don’t look weird. Ok? You …you look … handsome.. and you’re not fat! Those are muscles, dumbass :P”
Kurt watched his boyfriend blushing and realized something…..” You like this huh? I think you like how I look now a LOT”
Blaine just groaned and put his head on the crook of Kurt neck, hiding his blushing face.

The boys were interrupted when Burt knocked on the door. Opening the door with a smile, Kurt stared at his dad. The man had a solemn look on his face, handing the phone to Kurt he said “It’s your father. He’s on the phone, wants to talk to you.” Kurt’s face paled as he took the phone with a trembling hand. Cradling the phone to his ears, he stuttered out “F-Fa-Father?”

A soft voice uttered “Hello son.” And all of Kurt’s walls broke down as he sobbed, heavy tears springing into his eyes.

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

Blaine watched as his boyfriend spoke on the phone for nearly an hour. It was strange to see Kurt this subdued, the boy only uttering yes and no answers. It was only towards the end he actually used a sentence, finishing the call with a “I love you too Father and I’ll see you soon.”

Blaine watching as Kurt stared at the phone, as if whishing he was still speaking to his father. Blaine finally got up and hugged his Kurt, cradling his head on Blaine’s chest. It took awhile before Kurt could speak.

“I’m sorry Blaine. We’ll have to cancel our appointment for tomorrow, and shop another time. Father wants to meet up with me. He booked me a flight to Paris tomorrow. He’ll be arriving there tonight. Father needs to talk to me, and says that I should start my training too. He wants me to stay with him for two months, because he knows that I need to be taught about the politics, the families and some other stuff. And since I already grew up so much, he thinks it would be a better explanation for school if I came back two months later looking different… instead of one day. Blaine I don’t want to leave you, I’ll stay if you say so…” Blaine stopped his boyfriend’s rambling, cutting him off with a hug. The thought of being apart from Kurt was hurting Blaine. But he could see that no matter what his boyfriend had said before, Kurt loved his dad. And even Blaine thought that it would be a better explanation for school.
“Kurt, if you want to go I don’t mind at all. In fact it would be a good time to bond with your father. However it also seems to me that you’re willing to take over for him when the time is right. Are you just doing this because you want to please him, or do you not mind taking his place when the time is right? And remember that I will go along with any decision you make.” Blaine wanted to be sure that Kurt wasn’t being pressured into anything.
“ummm… actually I just said all that stuff about rejecting my inheritance because I was mad at father. I’m connected to my people, and I always knew that one day if it came to it, I would never hesitate to take control of the… family business.” Blaine snorted, thinking that only Kurt could pull off such a diva fit.
“Ok then, let’s get packing!” Kurt thanked god that he had such an understanding boyfriend. He pulled Blaine into a close hug, whispering a heartfelt thanks. Blaine just smiled sadly, knowing that this was the best decision for them at the time. And he knew that while these two months might feel like torture, Blaine knew that once Kurt came back, their relationship would be stronger than ever. And of course it wasn’t like communications would be cut off either. They’ll talk on the phone a lot and see each other through the computer. Both feeling reassured, they started packing.

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

As Kurt got out of the plane, he breathed in the air, super excited to be in Paris. He remembered the tearful goodbye session he had with his family and Blaine, feeling a twinge of sadness. Looking around for a sign with his name on it, Kurt thought that his father had probably sent someone to pick him up.
Feeling a tap on his shoulder Kurt turned around with a smile on his face, freezing at the sight of vibrant green eyes.

“Father…..”
Kurt felt like he had come home when those arms pulled him to a tight hug. Heart clenching when he felt hot tears land on his neck. Kurt realized that these misunderstandings had hurt both of them and that he had a lot of making up to do.

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

Blaine was already missing Kurt really badly. It was tough explaining to everyone why Kurt wasn’t here and why he’d be missing school for two months. They had decided to go with the excuse of Kurt wining this contest which gave him the chance to experience a two month internship with a famous designer in Paris. And that if the designer thought Kurt to be good enough, then he’d get the chance to work with them after finishing high school. The idea seemed a bit far-fetched but they really couldn’t think of anything better. And with Finn backing him up on it, no one could really protest. Though they did complain about Kurt leaving them out of the secret. To make up for it, Kurt had made a group phone call, promising to bring gifts for them all when he came back.

While it was easy to convince everyone, Blaine had a rather hard time with Sebastian. With Kurt out of the picture, Sebastian was quick to spend as much time as possible with Blaine. However Blaine was surprised to note than while Seb still flirted, it wasn’t like the times when Kurt was present. Instead both of them had stuck up an easy friendship for the moment.

In fact Sebastian was confused himself as to why he wasn’t using this opportunity to make Blaine his. He still found Blaine attractive, and wouldn’t mind fucking him, but Sebastian was well aware of the fact that he had always just thought of Blaine as a conquest and now as a friend. ‘Well maybe I’m not taking him cuz he’s kind of become a friend… and it’s not nearly as much fun to flirt with him when I can’t rub it in Kurt’s face’ Sebastian tried to appease himself with that explanation.

It was a month later while studying in the library that Sebastian brought up the topic of Kurt going away for the 15th time. And of course he’d also made snide comments all along as for the entire month. Blaine knew that if it was anyone else talking bad about Kurt, he’d beat them up, but for some reason he could tolerate it when it was Seb. But he still rolled his eyes when Seb started with “So how’s your boyfriend doing in Paris?” Blaine just flipped over another page of the book they were researching before replying with a short “Fine”.

“hhhhmmp, of course he’s doing fine in Paris. You have any clue as to how many cute boys are on the streets, everywhere in general? And I don’t mean the straight ones either. You sure he hasn’t been fucking some other boy while he talks to you every night? I mean Hummel barely knew any gay kids here in Lima. He probably thinks that he’s in heaven right now, with all the prospects. Though I doubt anyone would want him. I don’t even know why you’re dating him Blaine, I could easily show you a much better time. You sure that he didn’t run away because he was scared of me? I remember that he ran out of the cafeteria that day when I gave you just a little peck on the cheeks. He was probably crying knowing that my kiss was better than any kisses he might’ve given you. I mean no wonder he didn’t even show his face to me before leaving.”

Blaine just rolled his eyes as he listened. He’s heard this rant at least ten times. However unlike the other times, he couldn’t stop himself from commenting “Why would he say goodbye to you before leaving when he didn’t even get the chance to see his other friends?”

Blaine froze a little, sure that he’d seen a flash of hurt cross Sebastian’s eyes, before he sneered at Blaine. Snarling a “I didn’t want him to say goodbye, I’m happy that I haven’t seen his face in a month”, and Seb went back to reading, ignoring Blaine for the rest of the evening. Blaine sat the whole time that night, thinking about this strange turn of events that seemed to be taking place.

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

Blaine was waiting at the airport, nearly squealing in excitement. Finally, FINALLY two months have passed. Kurt’s plane had already landed and he’d be arriving outside any minute now. Blaine and Finn had come to pick up Kurt from the airport. Blaine was waiting while Finn had gone to pick up coffee for everyone. Blaine was watching all the people come through the doors, hoping that Kurt would be out soon. Watching as a family came though, some kids, some teens, and oH, now that was a fine looking man. Blaine gave a second look to the attractive young man that just came through the doors; the guy was dressed in a pair of tight dark wash jeans, a stylish green shirt with an expensive jacket overtop. He was also wearing a pair of hued shades and wisps of brown hair framed his face, styled with hair wax. As Blaine looked down, he was a little surprised to see that while stylish and beautiful, this attractive masculine man was pulling a dark luggage that shined a little, which seemed to have sequins and gems on it.

“…………….” Blaine was a little confused when the man started to rapidly walk towards him.

‘……………….HOLY SHIT! THAT’S MY BOYFRIEND!’ Blaine finally realized when the man took off his shades, revealing Kurt’s smiling face. Blaine’s mouth dropped open when Kurt pulled him into a hug.

Meanwhile Kurt stared at Blaine in confusion when his boyfriend just continued to stand, frozen to the ground.
“Um… Blaine. You’re not happy to see me again?”
Blaine finally got over his shock and started to splutter “Y-you! You look different!!”
Kurt smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. “Dad gave me a lecture when we went shopping. Said that long leopard print sweaters were fine when I looked like a twink but that as a man now I had to dress the part. It was so embarrassing! I mean I like the stuff we choose together, but ya I miss the leopard print a bit. My whole wardrobe hasn’t changed but it’s been adjusted for how I look now. I mean oh my god Blaine, Dad took me shopping to all of my favourite brand stores! And if you can believe it or not, I met Marc JACOBS!!!!! OH my god Blaine I nearly died, when he showed me some of his pieces that he thought would look best on me. LIKE I DIED BLAINE!!! Oh and dad said that I should get a haircut and style my hair differently…. I really didn’t want to ruin my perfect hairstyle..but well, Mark said that he knew a look that would be perfect on me, and called up a hairstylist that he trusted. And I just couldn’t refuse.. umm Blaine?”

Seeing that Blaine still seemed to be in shock, Kurt started to feel doubt creep up “Ummmm, Bl-Blaine?
Do, umm do you not like how I look now? … Um if you don’t like it, I could easily change my hairstyle and buy new cloths you know?”
It was seeing Kurt’s hesitant face that finally snapped Blaine out of his shock. Finally pulling Kurt back into a hug, Blaine whispered “NO Baby! You look… you look really really hot. Shit this is really embarrassing but I’m so turned on right now!” Blaine pressed up against Kurt, letting him feel how hard Blaine was. Kurt pulled back and a devilish smirk lighted up his face, making Blaine blush even more.

‘Oh god, this is so embarrassing! Shit! But my god, Kurt looks so hot! When we finally get alone and he takes control… Oh stop it Blaine! You’ll make yourself come, don’t imagine anything!’ Blaine cringed, seeing Kurt open his mouth, knowing that he was going to say something dirty. Unfortunately that was the moment Finn decided to come back with the coffee, yelling “Hey Kurt, Dude How’ve you been?”

They both looked over with a groan of disappointment; Blaine was also relieved that his hard on went away. However he stiffened when Kurt leaned down and whispered “We’ll talk about this later” and gave Blaine a wink.
