Chapter 21

Love in Dominant/submissive relationships is possible, and something to be celebrated.

"Go on. Do it." Kurt goaded. "You can hurt me all you want, but I'm never going to change. I'll always belong to Master, and I'll always hate you. No matter what you do to me I'll still be better than you, because I have friends that actually care about me, and a boyfriend who loves me. I'm getting the hell out of this town and you'll be stuck here, with no partner, and no life."

"Boyfriend?" Dave barked. "A Dom isn't your boyfriend you little bitch. You're a slave. A piece of furniture. He doesn't fucking care about you and you're stupid for thinking he does."

"Kurt!" the boys snapped their heads around to see Jeff and Nick approaching. Nick subtly pushed Jeff behind him. "You okay?"

"Fine." Kurt mumbled. "What are you doing here?"

"Blaine got a detention, he asked me to pick you up." Nick said slowly. "Something I should worry about?" he asked, nodding toward Dave.

"No, we were just talking." Kurt sighed. "Come on, let's go." Nick and Jeff eyed him wearily but nodded anyway, Jeff grabbing one of his hands as they walked away.

"Blaine." Nick hissed as soon as they walked through the door. Blaine glanced at him, quirking an eyebrow but nodding in understanding anyway.

"Boys, upstairs." He said, sighing heavily and going to get a glass of water. Jeff and Kurt glanced at each other curiously, but shrugged and went up to Kurt's room anyway.

"What's up?" he asked, falling onto the couch.

Nick explained quickly what he had seen. "I'm serious Blaine, this guy messed with him. I don't know how and I don't know why, but he didn't look right." He insisted.

"If something is wrong with Kurt then he'll tell me." Blaine said calmly. "He knows it's my job to take care of him. I trust him Nick." He insisted when the boy rolled his eyes.

*break*

"What's wrong baby?" Blaine asked curiously. Usually when the two would watch TV or a movie, Kurt would be snuggled into him firmly or wrapped around his legs. The boy had sat on the opposite side of the couch though, the furthest he could get from Blaine.

"Nothing Master." Kurt murmured. "Just stressed about sectionals tomorrow."

"Well come on. Let's go to bed early huh? Some sleep will do you good." Blaine suggested. "Do you want to sleep in my room again?"

"No thank you Master." Kurt said respectfully before dashing up the staircase. Blaine sighed and ran his hands through his hair.
