"You really want to hear it?" Kurt asked, looking at Blaine in confusion. Nobody really listened to him before, why would someone want to know his whole life story?
"Yes, i do" Blaine shuffled around in his chair trying to get comfy. If he was ready to hear Kurt finally open up to him, he had to be all ears.
Kurt exhaled and closed his eyes, letting all the memories and thoughts rush to his head so he could re-tell them to Blaine, if he wanted to hear what Kurt had to say, he was going to make sure it was worth it.
"It all started a few days ago, i was at home-" Kurt was interupted by Blaine.
"At home?"
"Yes, Blaine at home. Up in the sky? You know, the bright blue thing with clouds in it?"
"How can you live up in the sky? Wouldn't you fall through the clouds or something?" Blaine tried to keep his mouth shut and let Kurt speak but his brain had other plans.
Kurt sighed. "Blaine, if you want me to tell you these things you have to keep quiet and let me speak, can you do that?"
Blaine just apoligized, shook his head and let Kurt carry on.
"Anyway, i was at home by myself when my parents came in with two guys following behind them, i asked them who they were and they said they were the 'Takers'" He closed his eyes and ducked his head. "I had never seen my parents look so scared before, it was like they wern't themselves, it was terrifying. They told me that they were going to take me to the Gaurdian and have me sent down if i didn't find anybody"
"What do you mean?" Blaine was confused, had he missed something?
"When we turn 20, its the law to find someone to connect with and make 'Star Children' You didn't have to be 'in love' with them or anything, but when you would connect with someone, you have to spend your whole life with them, and that was something i just couldn't do. I wanted to find love, i didn't want to just use somebody and spend the rest of my life with them when i didn't even like the person" He placed his hands on the table and folded them together, staring at them. Blaine just sat quietly and listened to him.
"I hadn't found anyone and the Takers found out, i wasn't ready to make such a commitment. Whoever brakes the law and doesn't connect with someone by the time they are 20, gets sent down to earth. My parents tried to help me, they would bring home people for me to meet and to talk to, hoping i would like them and connect with them, but i never did. They were devistated when they found out i had to go, but it was my own fault for being so stubborn"
Kurt's hands started to shake with anger and a few tears started to fall down onto his cheeks. "If i had of connected to one of them i would still be up there, living with them and still with my parents, being happy. But now i'm stuck down here, and it's all my fault"
He rested his head onto his hands and began to sob, Blaine reached over and put a hand on one of Kurts, he flinched a little at the touch but then relaxed. Soon Blaine was holding his hand across the table and rubbing smooth circles over it. Waiting for Kurt to gather his thoughts again and continue his story.
"I'll never forget the look on my parents faces, the way they were begging them to give me one more chance and to let me stay, but there called the 'Takers' for a reason. They were so distraught, and i felt so bad because i let them down, i told them i would try and find someone, but i didn't, and now look where i am, stuck down here on earth, forever" He bit his lip and willed himself not to cry again infront of Blaine.
"So you can't go back up? You can't see your parents or anyone else you knew up there?" Blaine asked.
"No, and even if i tried, i would never succeed. There's no way i can get back up" Kurt finally locked eyes with Blaine, and Blaine felt his heart brake in two. He felt so sorry for Kurt.
"Was that why you were crying when i first found you?"
"Yes, i didn't know they would actually send me down, i thought they were just warning me, but then when i opened my eyes again and saw that i wasn't standing infront of the Gaurdian, i couldn't take it"
Blaine sqeezed Kurts hand in a comforting manner, only realizing that he was still holding it.
"I had such a good life up there, i had friends, family, and now it's all gone, and i'll never see any of them again. I never thought this would happen to me, but i always had a feeling that was deep inside me. When i was with my friends and they would talk about their life being with someone, i just couln't imagine myself connected to someone in the future, and it always played at the back of my mind, and now it's true" He frowned and squeezed Blaines hand, not knowing he was doing it untill he pulled away and blushed. "Sorry"
"It's fine" Blaine replied. He wanted to ask him about the nightmare he saw him have, but he didn't want to put anymore stress on him. Just then, Kurt began to speak again.
"I've been having nightmares too, everytime i close i my eyes, i can see the Takers walking towards me, grinning. I try and run but my feet would be glued to the ground, and my parents would be next to me, staring at me with sad, drowned out eyes. They would come closer and closer, but then i would wake up and it would be gone" Kurt was now staring at the wall behind Blaine, like it was the most interesting thing on earth, but to him, it most probably was.
"I'm really sorry about what happened to you Kurt, i can't imagine how hard it must be for you right now, losing your family and friends just because you wouldn't connect with someone who would be a total stranger? It's terrible, but i would have most probably done the same though, i'd hate pretending to live with someone and not really being inlove with them" Blaine smiled warmly at Kurt and he smiled back. Well this is progress he thought.
"I'm sorry for loading all that on you" Kurt chuckled lightly and turned away, but realizing that he and Blaine were still holding hands and blushed.
"Hey, its alright, really. I asked for you to tell me, so i knew what i was getting my self into, and it was nice to finally hear your story. At least your not a compleate stranger to me anymore, but i'm still kind of wondering what you really are"
Blaine was right, he still didn't know what Kurt actually was. Was he just a normal human but lived up in the sky instead of Earth? It was all really confusing untill Kurt opened his mouth to reply to Blaine.
"I'm a star" Kurt said simply, as if it was the most normal thing Blaine had ever heard.
"Your a what?" Was he imagining things? Was Kurt actually saying that?
"Blaine, i'm a star" It all made sence now, the glowing light, falling from the sky, the 'Star Children'. Why didn't Blaine know this earlier? He kept his eyes locked on Kurts, his expression dumbfounded. Well he wasn't especting that.
Comments
I really enjoyed reading this chapter. It was nice to see Kurt open up to Blaine and tell his story. It was sad to see that Kurt was taken away from his family but I have a feeling that he is going to find something important on earth. It was so sweet how Blaine comforted him and held his hand while he was explain how he came to be on earth.
