"Kurt." he said patiently when the fledgling had stopped to stare at coke machine.

"But its so red! Do you hear the awful noise its making?" Kurt asked in wonder, reaching out to run his hands over the smooth plastic. He cocked his head to the side as the machine hummed a little louder.

"I do." Blaine replied with a fond smile. He reached out with his free hand to grab Kurt's. "There will be plenty of coke machines you can inspect elsewhere."

Kurt pouted as he was pulled away but followed after Blaine, letting the other drag him down the hall as he looked around. He couldn't believe he never noticed how colorful everything was before! As they neared the elevator he noticed another vampire waiting.

Blaine tugged Kurt to his side as they stopped at the elevator. He didn't even make eye contact with the younger vampire also waiting. He felt a little tug on the sleeve of his jacket and glanced at Kurt who's little nose was scrunched up slightly. The countertenor leaned forward, his lips brushing against Blaine's ear as he whispered.

"He smells funny." Kurt whispered, looking up in alarm when said vampire gave a deep chuckle.

"Where did you find such a beautiful creature, Sir?" the man asked, looking over the thin fledgling. The scent he gave off was intoxicating, making him take a deep breath to fill his lungs. He stepped away quickly when the older vampire gave a loud warning growl.

"I suggest you keep your nose to yourself, I trust your creator taught you a thing or two before he let you live on your own." Blaine snapped, resisting the urge to hiss. He let go of Kurt's hand to wrap his arm around his small waist, pulling him closer to his side.

Kurt was a little surprised when Blaine growled. It wasn't as if he had never heard him do it before, but this one wasn't playful. It was dark and menacing, causing him to shiver and pray that the growl would never be directed at him. He felt the strong arm wrap around him, a small gasp leaving his lips when he was pulled to Blaine's side. The vampire seemed tense so he acted on instinct by rubbing his nose against the others neck with a loud purr.

Blaine smiled as Kurt nuzzled into him but didn't relax his hold until the elevator had dinged and opened its doors. Placing his hand on Kurt's lower back he pushed Kurt in first, walking in after him. He stood in front of his fledgling, just daring the other vampire to step foot in the elevator.

Kurt had no idea what had gotten into Blaine as he stood behind him. He looked over his shoulder to watch the smelly vampire smile slightly and bow his head before the elevator doors closed. Blinking, he opened his mouth to ask why Blaine wouldn't let the other ride the elevator with them but stopped as he felt the elevator lurch. Dropping the bag he was holding he wrapped his arms around Blaine and held on tight. If he thought elevators were bad as a human he never noticed, but now it felt so strange. A whimper escaped him as he heard squeaks and other things in the elevator shaft as they descended.

"Kurt, calm down." Blaine whispered, a little upset with himself that he hadn't told the fledgling what he would experience before they stepped in. "I know its scary and your stomach feel's strange, but nothing is going to happen." he continued, placing a hand on one of the arms wrapped around him. "I would never let any harm come to you."

Kurt relaxed as Blaine spoke, focusing on the soft voice and the smell of Blaine's shampoo instead of the creaky elevator. As it was slowing down he felt his stomach stop twisting and squirming, sighing in relief, before slowly letting go of Blaine and picking up the bag he had dropped. He was confused when Blaine grabbed on to his wrist tightly but found that he didn't care when the doors opened. Suddenly, all kinds of smells met his nose and his first thought was to run, but as he jumped forward Blaine pulled him back easily.

"No, Kurt!" Blaine ordered sternly. He was surprised when Kurt actually stopped since he was expecting to have to drag him, hissing and all, towards his car. So when Kurt stared at him with an unpleased look that clearly stated he did not like the tone of voice he had used instead of struggling against him, he was shocked.

"I'm not a dog, Blaine." Kurt grumbled, a soft growl of annoyance leaving him. "Let go."

"Not until we get to the car." Blaine stated before pulling Kurt through the parking garage. He ignored the fledglings inpatient huff, glad when the other didn't fight him about it.

Kurt was annoyed. Where did Blaine get the sense that he could tell him what to do? He was Kurt Hummel, no one told him what he could do and not do! Deciding to bring it to the older vampire's attention later, he looked around the garage, enjoying the shiny surfaces the cars had to offer. He could smell someone's car leaking oil and new tires. The smell of gas also penetrated the air heavily, causing his head to feel a little dizzy. When Kurt heard Blaine's keys clanking together in the silence of the parking garage, he was confused. They were already at the car? How did they get there so fast?

Blaine unlocked the doors after he had put his bag down on the ground. He opened the passenger door, gently pushing Kurt in, placing his hand on top of the fledglings head so he wouldn't bump it on the way in. Ignoring the scowl he received in return he shut the door before picking up the bags to throw in the trunk once it had popped open.

Kurt had his arms crossed over his chest when Blaine slid in, a dark look consuming his face. He heard Blaine sigh but didn't give him any attention, instead he focused on the dark colored dashboard in front of him. He heard the key being pushed into the ignition but he still didn't look at the older vampire.

"Kurt, I'm about to start the car." Blaine warned, pushing a small button on the steering wheel. The sound of heavy locks clicking into place filled the awkward silence in the car.

"Did you just turn on child safety locks?" Kurt asked, clenching his jaw. "Blaine, do you really think I'm stupid enough to jump out of a moving car?" he questioned, finally glancing over.

"They are 'fledgling' locks, and it's a completely different thing." Blaine began, leaning back in his seat. Sometimes he regretted how much technology had advanced. He missed the simpler times where he didn't have to worry about his fledglings reacting or getting hurt by dangerous things. "Of course I don't think you're stupid, but you can't tell me you didn't notice how you almost ran off on me earlier." he began.

"I couldn't help it! It was like I didn't have control…" Kurt mumbled, looking down at his knees. "But I wouldn't be stupid enough to jump out of a car." he stated stubbornly.

"Baby, I know, but your instincts and impulses are a whole different story." Blaine replied patiently. "You can't control your actions and the locks will keep you inside." he said, reaching over and placing his hand on Kurt's leg. "Its hard to get used to Kurt, but you have to take these things one step at a time and trust me when I do things you think aren't necessary."

Kurt deflated slightly and sighed, smiling when a gentle squeeze was given to his thigh. "I do trust you Blaine, I just don't like being told what to do…" he admitted, looking out the passenger window as another vampire walked passed the car.

Blaine grinned as he took his hand away from Kurt's leg. "You better get used to it Kurt, because its going to happen. A lot." he said through a light laugh. He pretended not to notice the dark look shot his way and placed his fingers on the key in the ignition. "This is going to be really loud to your ears, so bear with it for a bit." he said, smiling when Kurt placed his hands over his ears. He turned the ignition, watching as Kurt's face screwed up in pain.

Kurt whimpered as the engine exploded with sound. He leaned his head against the back of his seat, closing his eyes. Once the humming died down in his ears he listened to the engine purr. He looked at Blaine with a little smile. "I'm okay."

Blaine nodded and put the car in reverse before pulling out and driving out of the parking garage. As expected Kurt gasped when they finally exited. The countertenor looked around wildly at all the street lights and billboards, becoming absorbed in everything he stared at. Blaine smiled as the little notification ding sounded throughout the car when Kurt tried to open the car door. "Kurt." he whispered gently, stopping at a stop light.

Kurt ignored Blaine, still trying to open the stupid car door that kept him from getting outside. "Stupid thing!" he called out before sitting back in his seat with a huff. Hearing the light chuckle from the older vampire he shifted his attention to Blaine. "Go ahead, say 'I told you so.'"

"Oh Kurt, I know you can't help it." Blaine said, looking both ways before turning on a corner. He reached forward and turned the radio on, purposely making a show of playing with the knobs. Soon enough his plan worked when as his hands were swatted away when Kurt took over. Blaine smirked as Kurt played with the volume and equalizer, holding back a chuckle when the fledgling giggled at the odd sounding settings.

Once Blaine drove passed the little sign that announced they had left Lima city limits, his shoulders relaxed and he reached over, placing his hand back in its rightful place on Kurt's leg.

Kurt looked down at the warm hand and smiled, placing his own over it before looking out the window again. He watched as all the colors fly by, singing with the current song playing on the radio. Soon Blaine's voice joined his in the car, making him feel warm on the inside. He loved the way the older vampire's voice sounded., in his opinion it was one of the best he had ever heard. Something in the sky caught his eye and he gasped, pointing to it. "Look!" he called out excitedly.

Blaine glanced up from the road for a moment and smiled when he saw the airplane. "I see." Blaine stated calmly, laughing as Kurt actually bounced in his seat from excitement.

"Why is it flying so low, isn't it dangerous? I can see everything!" Kurt exclaimed, clearly able to read the print on the side of plane. It was so cool to see it flying so low.

"Kurt, its not flying as low as you think it is." Blaine began softly. "You can just see it better than humans can."

Kurt eye's widened as he sat back against his seat. He reached up and rubbed his temples. "Will anything ever look the same again?"

"No." Blaine stated calmly, squeezing Kurt's thigh. "But you will get used to things eventually." he continued, looking over his shoulder before turning his blinker on and merging into another lane. "When you are changed, its like you are reborn. You have to grow through things just like you grew into your adulthood."

Kurt sighed and looked out the windshield, counting all the scratches against the cars surface that was in front of them. Well, at least he wouldn't have to go through this alone like he had when he was a human.

An hour and a half into the drive, Blaine could tell Kurt was about to loose it. He kept fidgeting and sighing as they passed different cars on the highway. He had even stopped singing which Blaine missed since he loved the countertenor's voice. Also he was a little surprised the fledgling hadn't voiced that he was hungry. A small rumbling from the other male's stomach erased his suspicions. "Hungry?" he asked through a soft chuckle.

"Sorry." Kurt mumbled, rubbing his hand against his stomach as it growled again.

"You should of told me earlier and I would of stopped and gotten you something." Blaine said as he exited the highway.

"Blaine, you don't have to, I can wait." Kurt said, shooting the vampire a smile.

"Kurt, I'm not going to let you go hungry, besides I have a pretty good friend who owns a little restaurant in this town." Blaine explained, stopping behind a line of traffic.

Kurt kept quiet as Blaine drove through random streets in a city he had never been to. He began to notice how nice the cars driving were after a while. His brow furrowed when he saw that the mall here was twice the size that Lima's was. That would have been alright if he hadn't seen that the population was even less than Lima. He shot Blaine a questioning look. "Why is everything so nice here when this city seems to be smaller than Lima?"

"Smaller?" Blaine asked a little surprised. He then remembered that Kurt had hardly left Lima all his life. "Are you referring to the population count on the sign?" he questioned as he pulled into a parking lot.

"Well, what else would I be talking about?" Kurt asked, now completely confused. Blaine didn't answer until he had parked and turned off the car, much to Kurt's displeasure.

"The last time I checked the population count was based on the living residents." Blaine said, leaning back in his seat and smiling at Kurt, watching the realization dawn the pale face.

"Oh." Kurt sighed, confused again on what the vampiric world was really like. When Blaine stepped out he went to open his door but found that he couldn't thanks to the locks. He glared at Blaine when he opened the door and grabbed his wrist. "Really Blaine, I think I learned from last time." he bit out, stepping out and trying to pull his wrist away, but the other vampire wouldn't let go.

Blaine held on to the small wrist tighter when Kurt began to pull, shutting the door behind the taller teen before locking the car with the little keypad on his keys. Stuffing the keys in his pocket he quickly let go of Kurt's wrist to wrap around the fledglings slim waist. As they walked he pressed a few kisses against Kurt's neck, guiding him to the door of the restaurant.

Kurt stopped trying to pull away when he felt Blaine's warm lips against his skin, a loud purr starting as they continued to walk. He couldn't really get himself to concentrate on anything else beside the fact that Blaine's fingers kept dipping in and out the front of his jeans, the warm fingers leaving tingles upon the skin they brushed against. So when they walked through the door, he didn't catch the sign that clearly stated that no humans were allowed in the vicinity.

"Professor Anderson!"

Kurt's head snapped up and the drowsy look he had had on his face was gone. Professor? He snorted as the word went around his head again. He knew Blaine was a teacher at Dalton, but he never knew people called him professor.

"Hush you." Blaine whispered in the fledglings ear before kissing his soft cheek. He looked up to the student who had called out to him and smiled. "Jerry, I thought we would find you here tonight, Lizzy still making you work?" Blaine asked the man, laughing when Jerry nodded sadly.

"Never gives me a break, that woman." he said with a sigh, grabbing two menus from the little booth he was standing behind. "I didn't know you had a fledgling." he stated as he began to lead them through the restaurant.

Kurt had tuned the rest of the conversation out in favor of staring at the other customers in the restaurant. Some looked elegant and refined, while others looked like they were on some sort of sugar high. He tilted his head as a couple in the back caught his attention. The boy sat upon a lap of another that looked a little older, both were men, but that wasn't what had caught his attention. He looked closer and blinked in surprise when he finally realized what they were doing. The one sitting in the others lap was feeding! Right in front of everyone! Glancing around to see if anyone else found what he saw strange too, but no one seemed to be paying them any attention, in fact he found a few more couples doing the same thing! Didn't vampires have some sort of public decency? What if a human walked in and saw?

Blaine kept his hold around Kurt as they walked, seeing heads turn in their direction. He frowned. Kurt's scent must be stronger than he realized. Some of the other fledglings waved towards Kurt, but he seemed to be focused on something in the back of the room. A few vampires who were around Blaine's age merely nodded politely towards the pair, eyes roaming Kurt's body. He held back a growl, knowing that he had been expecting this when he finally turned Kurt, but still didn't like it. Thankful when they were led back into the more private room he relaxed his hold around Kurt's waist, letting the fledgling have a little breathing room as they continued to walk.

Kurt's view was cut off when they were led into another room. He noticed that Blaine relaxed but he still kept close to him. He didn't know if he liked this place or not. Once they were seated at a small table in the corner, a menu was pushed into his hands. He quickly opened it, hiding his flushed face behind it.

"He sure is quiet." Jerry commented, smiling as the menu trembled in the teen's hands.

"Trust me, he's not normally." Blaine said, surprised when he didn't get a scolding look from Kurt in return. "Would you excuse us?" he asked politely, smiling when Jerry nodded.

"Sure, I'll just got get Liz for you." he said before walking off.

"Kurt." Blaine whispered, gently tugging the menu from the countertenor's hands. He noticed the flushed cheeks and thought back on what had happened. Nothing seemed to stand out so he reached over to place a hand over the others. "What's wrong?"

Kurt looked down at the table, not really sure if he wanted to talk about it when he knew people could hear him speak, thanks to the lovely experience at the apartments. "People were…biting each other in the other room." He whispered finally, looking up when Blaine squeezed his hand.

"Baby, that's normal in vampire establishments." Blaine explained slowly, using his thumb to rub across the skin on Kurt's hand. "We can't not feed our fledglings when they need it." he continued, looking over Kurt. "Is your throat or teeth aching yet?" he questioned, wanting to make sure.

Kurt shook his head quickly. "No." he whispered, looking up to Blaine's face. "I would never drink from you in a place like this." he added, shivering at the thought.

"We'll see." Blaine replied, a soft laugh leaving him. He was looking through his menu when a familiar voice pulled him from his thoughts on getting a cheeseburger.

"Blaine!"

Kurt looked up, surprised to see a beautiful blond woman walk up to their table, the man from earlier, Jerry if he remembered correctly, following after her like a lost puppy. He watched as the man wrapped his arms around her slim waist and nuzzled her neck when they had stopped. Her bright green eyes zeroed in on him and he felt himself swallow slowly.

"Oh Blaine!" she gasped, patting Jerry's arm gently as the fledgling began to purr contentedly. "He's beautiful. Is this the boy you've been talking about all year?" She asked, tilting her neck to the side as her fledgling began to kiss across it.

Blaine smiled. "Yes, Kurt this is Elizabeth Cutshaw and her fledgling Jerry Pickinger." Blaine explained, grinning when Kurt smiled slightly in their direction. "He's acting really shy tonight, normally he would be complimenting on the fact that you are wearing something from the Alexander McQueen line." he said, watching as Kurt's cheeks flushed the bright pink that he loved.

"I can't really compliment her when you dressed me in this." Kurt laminated, pointing to the skinny jeans and graphic tee he was currently wearing.

"You poor thing!" Lizzy exclaimed, sitting in the chair that Jerry had pulled up for her moments before. She took Kurt's hand in hers, giving him a searching look. "Blaine, how old is he?" She whispered after a moment.

"This is his first night." Blaine replied softly, smiling when Lizzy squealed and took Kurt into her arms for a tight hug.

"You are too cute for words!" She said, kissing Kurt's cheek.

Kurt sputtered out a thank you before leaning away from the woman. He heard Jerry snigger in the background and turned his head to glare at the other fledgling who was still purring loudly. When Jerry just shrugged he huffed and looked at Blaine.

"Are you still going to be teaching at Dalton?" Lizzy asked, dropping her hands from Kurt's to rest them upon the boy's crossed knees.

"Of course, I don't think I can home school Kurt, he's a bit headstrong." Blaine commented, grinning when Kurt finally turned and gave him a dark look for the comment.

"Good, it wouldn't be the same with you, Professor." Jerry said with a wide grin.

"Wait, you go to school?" Kurt blurted out, surprised sense the man looked around twenty-five.

"Yeah, I'm only four." Jerry replied, busting out into a loud laugh when Kurt gave him a very confused look.

"Four as in undead years, sweetie." Lizzy explained. "Jerry be nice, or I'll make you scrub the kitchen floors." She called out. The laughter instantly stopped and a low grumble was all that was left.

"Fledglings have to go to school too to learn. Some are home schooled though." Blaine replied softly, smiling when Kurt looked at him.

"For how long?" Kurt asked, slightly afraid of the answer.

"Around ten to fifteen years, or until their creator has deemed them fit to leave or stop their studies." Blaine explained, smiling when Kurt groaned.

"I thought I was done with school, now I have to spend even more time in it?" Kurt asked sadly, looking up at Jerry as he laughed again.

"Don't worry, Dalton is awesome, and since your creator is a Professor, I bet you could get away with just about anything!" Jerry said excitedly.

"Don't count on it." Blaine put in quickly, relieved when a grin spread across Kurt's beautiful face.

"Well, I'll let you and Kurt get on with your meal, the usual Blaine?" Lizzy asked as she stood up, Jerry pushing her chair under the table afterwards.

"You know me so well, Liz." Blaine said with a smirk.

"I should, you've been eating here for almost sixty years." She replied with a roll of her eyes. "What about you honey?" She asked, looking at Kurt.

"Oh um, I never got to look at the menu…" he said, reaching for it, but Lizzy had picked up both of them before he could get one. "It'll be a surprise, besides no one has ever said no to anything that's been sat before them from my kitchen." She said with a little wink. "Jerry take their drink orders, okay?" she called over her shoulder when she left.

Jerry left right after they had stated they wanted water. Now they were alone and Kurt turned on Blaine. "Sixty years?" he whispered, his eyes wide. "How old are you?"

Blaine smirked. "I thought we agreed never to talk about that." he reminded the fledgling, reaching over and pulling the chair Kurt was sitting in as close to him as he could get it.

Kurt raised a brow as he was pulled closer. "Well, I'll just ask Elizabeth, I bet she'll know." he stated, resting his head on Blaine's shoulder as the older vampire began to run his hand up and down his thigh.

Blaine smiled as he listened to the soft purr coming from Kurt. He pressed a kiss to the teen's forehead before he answered. "I wouldn't, she's older than I am and might take offence in the question." he said, chuckling when Kurt sighed.

"I'll figure it out one day you know." Kurt stated, closing his eyes as Blaine pressed more kisses to his forehead.

"I know."
