After three days, Kurt felt like he was going to scream. Blaine was obviously testing his limits, seeing what he could to make Kurt break.
Despite Kurt’s strength and resolve, it was starting to work. By the morning of day three, when his entire body ached, he’d had a fleeting thought of finding Blaine and begging him to kill him, or to let him go. Breaking off this entire ‘deal’ and giving up on any ideas of ever seeing his father again.
But that’s what kept him going. The thought that he’d see the man who he’d done all of this for.
Blaine had made him clean most of the mansion by now. Plus he’d been forced to sit in a room, as he cleaned by the way, and hear some of the Vampires make.. very inappropriate comments about his physical appearance. They laughed, pointed, and mocked as Kurt flushed red and tried to keep his mind on cleaning. It was hard for him to keep his back to them though.
Now he was trying to do just that. He was on his hands and knees on the floor, scrubbing a stain he was sure wasn’t even there and it was just yet another meaningless task to keep him busy.
“You alright?” Without even turning around, Kurt could tell that Blaine was smirking at him. No doubt staring at Kurt openly. The Vampire had no thoughts about hiding his arousal around Kurt. Thankfully, he never acted on it. Blaine may be cruel, but (at least so far) he wasn’t that cruel.
Kurt sat up on his knees as he let out a huff. He looked at Blaine over his shoulder. “What do you think?” He asked.
Blaine chuckled at him. “You know hot to make this stop.” He said, sitting down on the couch next to Kurt. Kurt looked at him. “One word and I’ll let you rest.” Kurt shook his head.
“No, I’m going to see my father. If I have to sit and do your chores for you so I can then fine.” He went right back to scrubbing at the floor.
There was silence for a few moments. Kurt could feel the other male watching him.
“What was your father like?” Kurt didn’t expect that. He looked at Blaine in confusion. Blaine motioned to the spot next to him and Kurt reluctantly sat down on the couch. “Tell me about him, I’m curious.”
Kurt bit his lip, looking down as he thought. “My dad was.. fantastic. He loved me very much. I fought to stay with him the night they took me.” Blaine nodded, listening. “My mom died when I was younger and it was just me and him. I want to see him because I miss him, but I also need to see for myself that he’s okay.” Blaine nodded again. “What about you? You talked about your father and uncle when I got here. What was your family like?”
Blaine let out a breath as he stared at the ceiling. “My parents were very loving. They loved each other a lot. My birth parents were human, obviously and they were killed by my uncle, leaving me an orphan. My parents took me in, raising me until I turned 19. I was involved in a bad accident and they changed me to save my life. I traveled with them for a while before they were killed.. by my other uncle. The only reason I’m alive is because I killed him after he stabbed my mother. My mother had given me the family ring before I died and I kept it around in case I found a human I wanted to protect.” Kurt tilted his head to the side. “After my family was around me dead, I took my father’s daylight ring and replaced my own with it.” He showed his hand to Kurt.
Kurt ran his finger over it. “Pro Infinito?” He read, looking up at Blaine.
Blaine nodded, “It means, ‘For Eternity’. A witch made it for my father.” He pulled his hand back. “My mother was a very special woman, a lot of people desired her.”
Kurt smiled. “Do you have any pictures of her?”
Blaine laughed. “I do actually, would you like to see her?” Kurt nodded. Blaine stood up and walked over to the book shelf. He picked out one of the books and flipped through it, finally settling on a page and bringing it over to Kurt. He set it on Kurt’s lap and pointed to one of the pictures. “That’s her and my dad at her high school Graduation. Her real one. My dad’s brother is in the background with that blonde girl.” Kurt smiled.
“She’s beautiful. I wish I had pictures of my mother and father with me. My mother was beautiful. I loved her very much.” Blaine smiled.
“You know, I think you’ve done enough to earn that visit to your father.” Kurt looked at him with wide eyes. Blaine nodded. “I mean, this house is spotless and I’m sure that you could use a rest. So, tomorrow? I’ll take you to visit your father.”
Kurt nodded enthusiastically. “Please?” He asked. “Please can we do that?”
Blaine smiled. “Yes, we can.”
“Thank you!” He bowed his head. “Thank you, Master!” He froze. When he looked up, Blaine was looking at him in confusion too.
“You just called me Master. I thought you preferred, Sir.” Blaine commented.
Kurt bit his lip, looking away from Blaine. “Master and Sir are two different people,” he said. “Master is kind to me, he doesn’t force me to do things and he doesn’t make me work to get things. Master protects me.” Blaine narrowed his eyes.
“You think I won’t do those things?”
Kurt shook his head. “You tortured me for two days when I first got here, you took me from my home and my friends. You put me in situations that made me uncomfortable. How is that not horrible? Master would never do those things to me. Yes, he used me as a blood source for any Vampire who wanted me, but he always made sure I was comfortable! He never let them hurt me, he’d make sure I was safe and that if things got out of hand, there was some one to protect me.” Kurt stood up. “You will never be my Master, because my Master was a kind and honorable man, unlike you.”
Blaine stood up, “I will admit, I did push you into an uncomfortable situation, but there is a reason I bought you. Not any other human your master might’ve had.” Kurt crossed his arms over his chest. “I’ve had you. I’ve tasted your blood.” Blaine’s hand reached out to brush against Kurt’s neck. “You don’t remember it though. But when I tasted that first drop, I knew I wanted you. Not your blood, you. I didn’t care that you were human, in fact I almost turned you myself.” Kurt shuddered. “But, my head was almost ripped off. There’s a reason you feared me. Ever since you could remember when you saw me looking at you, you were scared, correct?”
Kurt nodded slowly.
“That’s because I forced you to drink my blood. Your master caught me as I was about to snap your neck. He kept you locked away so that you couldn’t die and compelled you to stay away from me. Your own mind figured that since every part of you told you to stay away from me, you must be afraid of me. When I expressed interest in buying you from him, he released you from that compulsion.” Blaine looked directly into Kurt’s eyes. A familiar feeling rushed over Kurt.
“I’m tired.” Kurt said, suddenly. His entire body felt like it was going to fall apart any second if he kept standing. Blaine chuckled.
“Alright, I’ll take you to my room.” He said. Kurt nodded, closing his eyes as he felt Blaine pick him up. He didn’t protest.
As they were walking, something dawned on Kurt.
“Did you just compel me to be exhausted?” He asked. He didn’t move his head from where it was tucked under Blaine’s chin, too tired to move.
“You catch on quick,” Blaine said with a laugh. “You’re sleeping in my room.” Kurt nodded against Blaine’s neck and soon felt himself being laid on a bed. Kurt closed his eyes as he felt the blankets being pulled around him and a body pulled him close. He pressed his face into Blaine’s chest, using the other male as a pillow.
“We’re going to see my dad tomorrow, right?” Kurt asked, just to clarify.
Blaine was quiet. “Of course,” he said after a beat of silence. “I’ll take you to see him as soon as you wake up.” Kurt nodded.
“Thank you, Sir.” He whispered. He felt something press against his forehead as he gave in to the exhaustion that overtook him.
