"Blaine, can I ask you something? How did you meet Sebastian?" Kurt tried not to sound showing any emotion, "He is an actor, and youre a doctor, looks like there will be no intersection?"
"Well, we met at school, the glee club, the Warblers," Blaine answered, "He…he was my first love…He found my nature actually…I…I used to date girls…One day, after a rehearsal, he pushed me against the wall and kissed me, it felt so right. That was the moment I realized that Im a gay."
Kurt was shocked, "So, y…you never date others since?"
Blaine nodded, "Im not that kind of person that will easily say Goodbye out…"
"So," Kurts voice raised a little, "You had thought of saying goodbye to him?"
Blaine choked a bit, he did not recognize his own subconscious. "I do not know," he shook his head, "Sometimes, he is a control freak, Im like a puppet manipulated; Sometimes he seems totally dont care about me; but sometimes he is very gentle to me. I think none of us is perfect, so we all have to compromise sometimes." He shrugged.
"In that case, then," Kurt played with his clothes, looking out the window, "Well, what is your impression about me? Sometimes I what and sometimes I what else?"
"You?" Blaine giggled, "Sometimes you are a dancing queen, and sometimes you are a doctor?"
Kurt punched his fist slightly on Blaines thigh, "Im talking seriously!"
"Well," Blaine thought for a while, stopped laughing, "sometimes you are so confident and have that I –can-overcome-everything momentum, sometimes you seem so fragile and vulnerable." -And this contrast is the reason I felt in love with you, also because the same reason I cant say it out loud, I do not have the qualification to love you, you deserve better.
Kurt stayed in silence for a while, "Do you want to know what you are in my opinion?"
" Buoy?" Blaine looked into Kurts eyes, smiled, " I support you when you are drowning, and when you reach the shore you can discard me."
"I will n…"- I will never dump you. But if it is not the thing you want…"I…I can stand strong, I can swim."
"Sure you can." Blaine smiled with adoration.
-Kurts Department-
Kurt was lying, his back leaning on the bed board, watching Blaine sitting on the bedside, putting his foot on his knees, scrubbing the balm on his swollen ankle and massaging it. It was so comfortable that he wished this moment will last forever.
"Blaine? "Kurt stroked his own neck, "Thank you..."
"It was nothing"- I love touching your silk skin anyway.
"No, I didnt mean this...Not only this...You got me through the whole blood phobia thing..."
Blaine looked up, "It was not me. It was yourself who conquer that. Though I knew you would be brave when you were facing those obstacles, wouldnt you?" He continued his hands movement, "I knew it when I first saw you, and you are a pride warrior queen, with a great sense in vogue."
Kurt chuckled, flushing by the flatter. "Still, I would never make it without you..."
"So..." Blaine smirked, said in a teasing tone, "You owe me something. Can I make a request now?"
"What do you want?" Kurt expressed a curious look.
"I want you back...back to surgery...You belong here, Kurt" Blaine quickly stated, leaving no time for Kurt to protest, "You are a born surgeon. Your hands never shacked, even your body was quivering, even you couldnt breathe, the scalpel in your hand still stayed firm and you did every step in the right place..."
Kurt stunned, it was something he never realized, never noticed. How could this man know him even better than him? "I...I dont know yet...But, I will reconsider it, latter, I promise..."
"Ah, how stupid I am! I shouldnt push this on you right now. It had been more than enough for you today. All you need now is some sleep." Blaine put his foot back to the blanket, kissed him on the forehead, and turned the nightlight off.
In the dark, Kurt finally found the courage to do the things he would never dare to do when he could see Blaines face: he grabbed Blaines wrist, inhaled, "Dont leave, stay here for me..." He spoke it in such a subtle voice that he was afraid no one could hear, however, he got the reply.
"If thats what you want, babe."
Kurt could feel the man approaching him and lying besides, then the warmth overwhelmed him. He was held tide like he was the most precious thing in the world. Rest in the peace and safety, he gradually fallen asleep, even forget that he hadnt took any sleeping pills today.
-Blaine house-
"Here you are, this!" Sebastian put a set of purple suit on Blaine sitting sofa, "I bought in LA; put it on, walk with me on the red carpet of the awards ceremony."
Blaine sighed, "I dont want to go."
"Look, I do not know what happened during the week I was gone, Ill take it that you were having a man-struation, we all know that you will depress for some time. But you have to attend that, or for god sake who knows what those paparazzi will write, I do not want to have negative news when I am competing the role of Arrow. You know people like that my boyfriend is a decent smart surgeon. Anyway, as long as you walk, smile, wave. It is simple. "
"Fine." Blaine gave up rebelling, "when is it?"
"Next month, youd better get a haircut, my curly puppy."
