"We're not going to die."
"Yes, we are! We are doomed, we are dead, we are as good as dead!"
"I can't believe you're freaking out like this."
"I have every right to be freaking out! In fact, why aren't you freaking out?"
"Because, I'm sure someone will notice that the elevator got stuck and we'll be out of here in no time, so just sit down with me and relax... okay, Kurt?"
This was ridiculous. Here they were, trapped in an elevator and Blaine was as calm as anything. How was Blaine always so calm? Did nothing scare him? How was that even possible?
"Why are you all pouty?"
"Because you're not freaking out."
"You want me to freak out?"
"Well, no... I'm happy that you're not scared it's just... it seems like you're not afraid of anything. The past couple weeks, all kinds of things have been happening to us, things that might scare some people, and no matter what we've gone through, you've never gotten scared."
"So... you do want me to get scared?"
"No, it's not that... it's just, you're my boyfriend, and I want to get to know you, all of you... and that includes your fears."
"Why is it so important for you to know what I'm afraid of?"
"Because, it's a part of what makes you, well... you. Plus, if I know what you're afraid of, I'll be able to make sure we always avoid whatever that thing is, so that you never have to be afraid again. If I don't know what you're afraid of, I won't be able to protect you."
"But I still don't understand... why is it such a big deal for you to protect me?"
"Because I love you... and I know you'd do the same for me."
Blaine smiled. "I love you too. So... I'll let you guess my fear."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "Really, Blaine? You can't just tell me?"
"We're stuck in an elevator, we need to entertain ourselves... start guessing."
"Okay, fine, let me think about this..."
Well, Kurt knew he could forget bugs, animals, the dark, ghosts, scary stories, water, and closed in spaces, he already knew that Blaine wasn't afraid of any of those things.
"Um, storms?"
"Nope."
"Doctors?"
"Nuh-uh."
"Dentists?"
"Nah."
"Blood? Needles? Germs?"
"Nope, no, and... I picked a spider up with my bare hands... what do you think?"
"Right. Uh, how about public speaking?"
"Kurt... I sing and perform in front of audiences all the time, why would I be afraid of public speaking?"
"Oh... yeah, well, how about clowns?"
"Keep guessing."
"Aliens?"
"Sorry, not afraid of them either."
"Man, I'm running out of guesses. Maybe you really are fearless."
Blaine laughed just as the elevator moved, causing them to almost fall forward.
"Hey, the elevator's moving again."
"Thank goodness, I'm starving!"
Kurt laughed as the doors opened.
"Finally!" Kurt said before exiting the elevator, Blaine right behind him.
"What do you say we go to Breadstix?"
"Not in the mood for something from the food court?"
"Not in the mood for this mall after being trapped in an elevator... I just want to get out of here."
"Understandable."
They headed outside, Blaine looking around. "Do you remember where we parked?"
"Probably not!"
"Woah, Kurt... your voice sounds all different."
"I didn't say anything."
"But I heard..." he looked up, surprised by what he saw.
"Kurt, it's the bird!"
"What?"
"The parrot from the pet store we were at a while back!"
"What's he doing flying around outside? He shouldn't be loose."
"He must've escaped from the pet store. We gotta catch him!"
"What? Why?"
"Because, he's not use to being on his own, he's use to the people at the pet store taking care of him... we have to catch him and bring him back to his home."
"Blaine, you can't be serious... you want me to chase after a bird I don't even like?"
"Please? He's probably really scared being out in the big world all by himself."
"If he was so scared, he wouldn't have run away in the first place."
"Come on, please?"
Kurt sighed. "Alright, fine... let's follow the bird."
