The room was completely silent, Blaine attempting to figure out a math problem while Kurt read about the Civil War, when suddenly, Kurt let out a scream that would put anyone in a horror film to shame, jumping backwards so that his back was against the headboard of the bed.

Blaine, who was not expecting the suddenly loud noise, nor was he expecting his boyfriend to suddenly jump across to the other side of the bed, jumped himself before accidentally rolling to his side which caused him to fall off the bed and hit the floor with a thud.

"What? What happened?" Blaine asked quickly, expecting to see a zombie or a murderer in the doorway after he quickly sat up and saw the look of horror on his boyfriends face.

"Kill it!"

"Kill what?"

"How do you not see that... thing? It's huge, Blaine!"

Blaine looked around before his gaze returned to the foot of the bed. Walking across their papers and books was a rather large spider. Blaine tilted his head a moment before looking back at his boyfriend who still looked terrified.

"That's it?"

"Yes!"

"But it's just a spider, Kurt."

"A huge spider! Kill it! Now!"

Blaine rolled his eyes and laughed before cupping his hands around the spider and walking out the door, heading down the stairs and opening the front door. He put the spider on the ground outside before heading back to Kurt's room.

"Just so you know, I'm never holding your hands again."

"Why? Because I touched the spider?"

"Stop saying that word! And go wash your hands!"

Blaine laughed a bit and walked into the bathroom, Kurt following after him.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You're acting silly."

"I am not acting silly!" Kurt shouted as Blaine finished washing his hands.

"It was just a daddy long legs, they don't do anything."

"If they don't do anything, why do they exist?"

"So they can crawl on your homework and freak you out."

"I'm serious!"

"So am I."

"Blaine!"

"It's true, the spider was trying to bring us closer together. He was a spider of love, like cupid but with more legs and less diapers, sent here so that I would have an excuse to comfort you in your time of need so that we would become closer as a couple." He pulled Kurt into a hug and rubbed his back. "There, there... you're safe now..."

Kurt yanked away, his face turning red from anger. "You are not funny!"

"It's kind of funny."

"It's not funny, Blaine!"

"Okay, okay, it's not funny."

"Now I have to wash all my sheets."

"Why?"

"What if it laid eggs in my bed or something?"

"You really are paranoid, aren't you?"

"You know, you spend a lot of time here."

"So?"

"So, what if you fell asleep in my bed and baby spiders crawled in your mouth?"

"Kurt, that's disgusting."

"Then you understand why I have to wash the sheets."

Blaine sighed as Kurt moved the books and papers to the desk and started ripping the sheets off his bed. "I can't believe you weren't freaked out at all."

"Spiders don't really scare me."

"Well, what does scare you?"

"I don't know, I don't exactly get scared very often."

It was at that moment that Kurt became determined to find out what did scare Blaine. Everyone had to be scared of something, right? Well, when it came to Blaine, Kurt was determined to find out what that something was.
