“I'll show you to your room.” Blaine says as I'm awestruck from the entrance.
“I'll send the tailors over to take your measurements because servants wear better clothes than you're wearing.”
“I made this myself.” I say slightly offended.
“I don't mean the style I mean the fabric. Just wait here I have to run I'm sorry. Meeting with Sebastian.”
“Good luck.” I say as I sit down on the bed.
“Feel free to look around the rooms that are connected to this one.” Blaine says and then literary runs off. The bed sheets must be satin they certainly feel like it. I stand up and open the first door I see, the bathroom marble everywhere, second door, must be Blaine's bedroom.
“Wow.” I whisper.
“Mr. Hummel?” I hear a voice say and turn around to see a woman just a little older than me. She motioned for me to come stand on the little platform and started taking all my measures.
“Your clothes will be ready by tomorrow morning.”
“Okay thank you.” I say and walks away. I suddenly see a bookshelf and almost run towards it I run my fingers over the spines and stop at one taking it out and sitting down on the bed and start to read. I don't know how much time has passed when I suddenly hear Blaine's voice.
“Good, isn't it? The book I mean.”
“Very.” I say as I put the book down and stand up.
“How was your meeting with Sebastian?”
“Ugh horrible I don't wanna talk about it.”
“Okay.”
“It's almost time for dinner wanna help me get ready?” Blaine asked.
“Well that's my job.” I say walking towards the closet.
“Can you hand me the red and blue tunic?” Blaine asks and I nod.
“So when will your clothes be ready?” Blaine says.
“Tomorrow morning.” I say.
“Well then you'll just have to use some of mine.” Blaine says as he stands up and walks to his closet.
“Oh no I couldn't.”
“Yes you could and you will, and also when it's just us you can slack also talk freely like we would be friends. I never liked people doing ever little thing for me, so I did it when they weren't looking, but when we're in presence of my father or Sebastian you have to act as a real servant and not speaking unless spoken to or when you're answering questions, do you understand?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Just like that.” Blaine says as he smiles.
“Here why don't you put on these? They might be a bit to small but it's better than what you're wearing.” He says as I take the clothes.
“I'm scared.” I say.
“What of?” Blaine asks.
“Your father, he looks at me like I'm less than the dirt on his shoes.” I say looking down.
“He... That's normal for him. He looks at every servant like that, and god knows that he doesn't care about the poor, which is why I'm glad that I'm gonna be king because I can't see human's suffer.” Blaine says as he takes my chin and makes me look up. “There is nothing wrong with you, there's a lot wrong with the world you live in.”
“Thanks, I'll put on these clothes otherwise we'll be late.”
“They're used to that by now from me.”
“Still.” I say as I move to my bedroom, take of my clothes and putting on the soft satin clothes of Blaine.
“I'm ready.” I say opening the door and I see Blaine's eyes widen.
“Wow. If I didn't know I would say you're a son of a duke or something.”
“Thank you.” I say as I swipe a bang out of my eyes, my hair is really too long.
“Well let's go.” Blaine says as he forces a smile.
“Okay.” I say. “Lead the way.”
“Fine.” Blaine says as he starts his trek towards the dining room.
“Blaine how nice of you to join us.” Daniel says as I look to the ground and follow Blaine to his place where I stand just behind his chair to the side.
“Kurt, could you please get me the lamb please.” Blaine says.
“Yes, sir.” I say and take a little bow while saying so and walking towards the dish, and I walk back towards Blaine handing it to him.
“Thanks.”
“You don't have to thank servants for anything Blaine, it's what they're here for.” Daniel says.
“It's not because you treat them like insects that I have to.” Blaine says.
“Sweetheart relax your father has a point especially your servant as he was sentenced to death before your proposed for him to be your servant.” Sebastian says.
“I am NOT your sweetheart, and I'm done with this dinner.” Blaine says as he stands up and shoves his chair so hard that it fell over. “Come on Kurt.” He says as he storms out of the room and me running after him to keep up with him.
“Blaine! Wait up!” I yell. “Blaine! Please!”
“I'm sick and tired of them controlling my life.” Blaine yells.
“Do you have a piano?” I ask.
“Of course.” Blaine answers.
“Bring me to it.” I say.
“Okay.” Blaine says as he starts walking towards the music room I presume.
“Here it is.” Blaine says.
“Oh, it's beautiful.” I say as I take in the beautiful ivory. “Sit down and listen.” and Blaine sits down and listens.
“My mom used to sing this to me every night to calm me down.” I say as I put my hand on the cold ivory keys and start playing a soft melody and while singing softly:
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay This works better with more people but it'll have to do.
Then I start playing a sure melody singing:
Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow Bless you with love for the road that you go
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet And may you need never to banish misfortune May you find kindness in all that you meet
Then I start playing a little faster. Watching Blaine as he looks amazed.
May there always be angels to watch over you To guide you each step of the way To guard you and keep you safe from all harm Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Now I start playing a rather difficult melody until I start singing again.
May you bring love and may you bring happiness Be loved in return to the end of your days Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
May there always be angels to watch over you To guide you each step of the way To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Now I start playing the melody from the beginning again:
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay Loo-li, loo-li,
loo-li lai-lay Loo-li, loo-li,
loo-li lai-lay Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay Loo-li, lai-lay
“Kurt that was beautiful.” Blaine says as I see tears forming in his eyes.
“Did it calm you down?” I ask.
“Definitely.”
“I'm glad. Come on let's go to bed.”
“Aren't you hungry?”
“Not really, I used to it by now.”
“No one should get used to something like that.”
“Let's just go to bed. It's been a long day.” I say as I start walking towards Blaine's quarters. As we arrive there I say: “Goodnight Blaine.”
“Goodnight Kurt.” I get in return. I walk into my room and take of the expensive clothes and pull on my old clothes to sleep as I pull them on I'm overwhelmed by the smell of my father and start crying falling down on the bed,the weight of the day finally catching up with me. When my tears have subsided a bit I silently start singing. I sing myself to sleep.
