Suddenly he heard a voice "What are you smiling about? Get up you have work to do". He he saw his father walk away and hear him go downstairs.

Blaine stepped out of his bed and he noticed his dad wasn't even yelling this time, not that he would've cared because he was way to happy anyway. He started to dress himself and even considered to start humming but he decided not to, at least not until he was outside. He didn't want to give his father a reason to be mad at him or something.

When he got downstairs he saw his father had already left and that there were two sandwiches left on the kitchen counter. He took them and walked outside. It wasn't exactly a sunny day and it seriously looked like it was going to rain but even that couldn't ruin his mood. It did mean he had to hurry up though, because soon the whole land would be a muddy pool and he wouldn't be able to work there.

The last few days Blaine tried to behave his best and he would only be around if they wanted him to. He hadn't gotten into a fight as big as the last one with his father and he tried to avoid that.

He started to walk towards the land while softly humming and lost in his thoughts.

Kurt was sitting at the breakfast table trying to look interested at his parents who were discussing some royal business. He didn't notice when his parents stopped talking.

"Honey is everything okay? You haven't touched your food since you sat down" his mother looked at him in concern.

Kurt looked down on his plate, it was true, he hadn't touched his food yet.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just not hungry that's all, thank you". He smiled at his parents and shoved his chair back from the breakfast table.

"I'm sorry, please excuse me". He walked away and went up to his room.

He wasn't really lying when he said there wasn't anything wrong but he knew he wasn't really telling them the truth either. Kurt didn't exactly know why he wasn't hungry.

It all started after his conversation with Blaine, well okay it hadn't really been a conversation since most of the time they were either laughing or blushing.

There it was again! That weird feeling, some sort of tinglings in his stomach. He knew he didn't like Blaine, well he did like him but in a total straight way! Kurt laughed to himself. Can you imagine, the royal crown prince, gay! That would be a classic! But still, even when he convinced himself he didn't ''like'' Blaine, the feeling just wouldn't go away. Kurt decided that he would find (FIND) his answers at the dinner and try to figure everything out.

Blaine looked up when he felt something wet drop on his right shoulder and he felt it again but this time on his face. He decided to keep working as fast as he could.

When it started raining to badly he went inside the house. His mother looked up from the dress she was sewing and she looked at him with a look of confusion, then she heard the rain and nodded with a small smile. Blaine kicked his muddy boots out and went upstairs.

He decided to take a shower to kill some time and clean the mud out of his hair and of his skin.

When he was done showering (which didn't take very long since he didn't want to use up all the hot water) he didn't really know what to do.

He used to help his mother with sewing or play with his sister when he was younger but he couldn't do that anymore, for one he was too old for that now and he wasn't even allowed around them anyway.

He decided he would clean up his room, which was a mess since he never really had time to clean it because he worked all day and he would go to bed after dinner immediately.

He started to sort his clothes into two piles, one pile for clothes that he would wash later and the other pile was for the clothes he could probably wear another day. He threw the pile of dirty clothes in a basket that his mother (hopefully) would take with her to the washing place. He folded up the semi clean clothes and put them in a drawer.

He heard a door slam downstairs, that probably meant his father was home. He looked outside, it was still raining and it was a little bit darker now which meant he had to go downstairs to set the table and make dinner ready if his mother hadn't already. He stood up from where he was sitting on the floor and went down the stairs and started to set the table. He felt his father's eyes on him as he continued to set the table. His mother had already started to cook dinner so he didn't have to do too much, only finish it.

Blaine put the food on the table and went to sit at the little desk in the corner of the room where he would, as usual, eat his dinner. The rest of the family took place at the table. After a while of eating in silence his father cleared his throat.

"I've got great news, today at work Mr. Metiers came by to tell me the date for the dinner with the royal family." He smiled.

Blaine looked up, suddenly more interested in this conversation then he was before.

Celicia squealed. "This is so great, what if they want to offer me a job or something?"

"Now Celicia we don't don't know that so don't get over-excited, but there's a possibility that they'll offer you something so we have to make sure everything goes perfect, now I was thinking we dress our best of course and we practice some compliments and behave our best. Now I was thinking Blaine could help us get ready and then he gets the rest of the day of so he doesn't have to work while we are dining with the royal family." Blaine's father turned around to look at Blaine.

"Wait? I don't get to go?" Blaine felt his anger rising.

His father laughed. "Please don't tell me you seriously thought you could come with us?"

Blaine didn't understand, he had done everything, everything his father told him to do. He had stayed away from them as much as possible, he ate alone every evening and he did all the extra chores his father had told him to! And now he wasn't allowed to come?

"Why not?" He started to raise his voice.

"Because then you'll ruin Celicia's changes of ever getting a good job! And you have done enough damage around this family!" His father started to get angry too.

"I have done nothing wrong! And I've been trying to do everything you said this whole week! even if it made no sense, I did it anyway!". Blaine felt so miserable, the one thing that got him trough everything last week was suddenly taken away from him.

"And you think that changes anything?" His father started to shout "You think just because you do everything I say we will forgive you and everything will be fine again?" and angry laugh filled the room.

Blaine stood up from the desk and walked over to his father. "Well why not? What does it matter that I'm gay? You're my family you're supposed to love me no matter what!" Blaine knew he crossed the line but just didn't care anymore, what would the difference be anyway?

His father stood up as well. "Are you kidding me? Are you actually telling me we should support this devilish thing you chose to believe is a part of you?"

"It's not.." Blaine started to breath heavily "a.. choice!"

SMACK. Blaine was on the ground again and he felt the blood rise to his cheek but he was so angry he got up and shouted.

"For your information I happen to know the royal prince and I bet he's counting on me coming so I don't really think you have a choice!"

He ran up to his room and let himself fall onto his bed. He started to angrily punch a pillow until there was only sadness left. He let his face fall into the pillow and started to cry softly.

After a while he heard someone come up the stairs, there was a soft knock on his door. Blaine was still lying on his bed and even though he hadn't been crying for a while he didn't trust his voice so he just ignored it.

The door went open with a soft noise and Blaine felt someone sit down on his bed. He turned around to find his mother sitting there with red and concerned eyes.

"Are you okay?" She asked him with a soft voice.

Blaine didn't really wanna answer it, he wasn't mad at her or something but he still didn't trust his voice "hmm"

"I.. I'm so sorry, he really doesn't mean it that way.."

Suddenly the whole conversation started to repeat itself in Blaine's head. "No, I bet he ment it really differently!" He started to get angry again but hold back when he saw his mothers eyes had tears in them.

"I talked to your father and we agreed that you can come with us, as long as you follow his rules". She brushed a curl stuck to Blaine's head behind his ear and looked at his, still sore, cheek. She sighed and then went out of the room.

Well, that was new? Blaine thought. He was still upset about the fight with his father but on the upside he had permission to go with them!

He walked to the bathroom to wash his face because it was still sticky from the tears. He looked in the mirror and saw a big blue bruise on his cheek. Suddenly Blaine froze "Oh no" what if the bruise wasn't gone in three days, he would dine with the royal family with a big blue bruise on his face. Great, that was just what he needed. They were probably gonna wonder were it came from and he had to come up with some sort of story to explain this bruise. But for now that didn't matter, because in three days he got to see Kurt again.

Three days later Kurt was up really early. He stood in his closet, deciding what to wear for that night. He thought he was going to lose it, what could he possibly wear that said chique but not too much,because he didn't want it to look like he was bragging about how rich they were. Something that said cheerful but not to creepy or something that looked like he tried too much.

Kurt finally gave up and just chose his favorite outfit that he usually wore to special occasions. Suddenly he remembered that he still had to shower so he almost ran to the bathroom and took a shower.

By the time he was done he had just enough time to let his hair dry.

Kurt was nervously walking in his room, he had no idea why though. Why on earth would he be nervous for a dinner with a simple farm-family?

On the other side of the house there was a nervous family walking towards the golden front door. They were dressed at their best, all wearing there best suits or dresses. Blaine wore an old dark blue suit from his dad and an old tie they had found somewhere. His mother and his sister both wore two beautiful dresses that they wore only when going to church or on special occasions like this.

His father knocked on the door and not a minute later they were let in by one of the servants. They were led through a big hallway to an even bigger room with a huge dining table and very expensive looking chairs. The floor was made out of wood and on one side of the room was a huge window. There was a chandelier hanging above the table and the table was set with beautiful looking china.

What the Anderson family didn't know was that this wasn't even the special dining room, but the royal family didn't want to let farmers in there.

"Wait here, the Greenwall family will be with you soon". The servant walked away.

Mr. Anderson was nervously fumbling with his suit while Mrs. Anderson was combing her hair behind her ear with her fingers. Blaine was sure he had never felt so nervous in his entire life, of course most of his nervous were because he was about to see Kurt again. But he was also a bit worried about the conversation he had with his dad earlier.

"Blaine come downstairs now." Blaine knew his dad wanted to set up a couple of rules for the dinner. He walked downstairs and he saw his dad was waiting on him, still sitting in the kitchen. "You're gonna listen and agree with the following rules and I don't want to hear you say another word, understood?" Blaine nodded. "So there will be no talking unless they ask you something. If you even try to act like you don't like girls you'll get kicked out, if not there then here. And if you don't get asked anything the only words you'll say is thank you Mr. and Mrs. Greenwall. You get that? Now get out of my sight". Blaine nodded and stood up. He walked up to his room again, his father hadn't been yelling at him but for some reason this had been worse. The tone of his voice was filled with anger and hatred but sounded calm somehow. Blaine shivered, he was glad he got see Kurt again but he wouldn't try to break his fathers rules.

Blaine was woken up from his thoughts by the sounds of a door slamming open. In in the door opening stood a servant and behind the servant stood Mr. and Mrs. Greenwall. The Greenwall family smiled politely at the Anderson family, they walked towards them and they shook hands. "Nice to meet you Mrs. and mr. Anderson" Mr. Greenwall was the first to speak. "Likewise Mr. and Mrs. Greenwall, it's a real honor to have dinner with you."

They went to sit at the table and a couple servants started to pour drinks. Mr. Greenwall was welcoming them and telling them to enjoy to their meal. Blaine couldn't help but wonder where Kurt was...

When suddenly the door swung open again. This time a tall boy with baby-blue eyes and beautiful brown hair walked into the room. "Excuse me for my lateness." Blaine could only stare and he noticed he litarly had his mouth open, he looked amazing, so he quickly closed it luckily without anyone noticing it.

Mr. Greenwall spoke again. "Mr. and Mrs. Anderson this is my son Kurt Greenwall". Kurt nodded to them with a small smile and went to sit across Blaine.

His smile widened as he looked at Blaine, "Hi". Blaine smiled back, but a little bit less obvious. "Hello Kurt". He saw his father look at him with a look that said watch it so he just looked away again.

Kurt wondered why Blaine was being so distant. He wasn't like that on the market place at all, maybe he was just nervous?.

Mr Greenwall and Mr. Anderson were busy talking, while Celicia, her mother and Mrs. Greenwall were also loudly chatting. Blaine tried to listen to what his father and Mr. Greenwall were saying but every now and then he felt a pair of eyes watching him, he knew they were Kurt's and he really wanted to talk to him but he didn't want to cause any trouble.

Blaine tried to keep paying attention to the conversation that he had no idea was about. He felt Kurt's eyes on him again. Without even realizing it he turned his head towards him.

Kurt who still wanted to know why he wasn't saying anything blushed a little but he didn't look away, he looked Blaine in the eyes. Kurt had to suppressed a shiver because of those sweet, gold-brown looking eyes and decided to not look him straight in the eye if he wanted to talk.

Blaine awkwardly cleared his throat and wondered if he should look away.

Kurt finally spoke"So.. How do you like it here?" It wasn't really the question he wanted to ask at first but he didn't want to make Blaine feel even more uncomfortable than he already did.

Blaine quikly looked at his dad, he was still busy talking to Mr. Greenwall. His dad did say he coud answer thing that were asked directly towards him and since Kurt was looking at him and Blaine was the only one who heard him he did ask Blaine..

"It's erm-.. beautiful actually. It's amazingly decorated.." Blaine wanted to mentally slap himself, why couldn't he just stay calm and give a normal answer?

Kurt noticed the nerves in Blaine's voice and got even more curious to why Blaine was acting this way. "Is there something wrong?" he didn't really mean to say it out loud but he just really wanted to know why Blaine had been so quiet all evening.

"Uhh.. what?" Blaine knew what Kurt had asked him but he had really no idea how to answer it, his father right there after all.

Kurt lifted one eyebrow. "I asked if you were all right?"

"Oh erm, yes totally, excuse me where can I find the bathroom?" Blaine suddenly looked panicked.

Kurt felt bad that he had caused to boy to excuse himself. "Ehh, it's the first to your left".

"Thanks" and Blaine walked out of the room.

His father saw him go but he didn't really care, at least now Blaine couldn't ruin it for a couple minutes. He went on talking to Mr. Greenwall.

Blaine walked down the hall and went to first left. He came in a huge bathroom. The light in there was really bright and the style was white-gold-ish. There was a toilet, a sink with a mirror above it and a shower. (It was the guest bathroom, well the one down stairs.)

Blaine walked over to the sink and turned the crane on, he splashed some water in his face and looked at himself in the mirror and tried to calm himself down. (courage, Blaine, courage xd) He didn't how to talk to Kurt because on one hand Kurt would start to suspect things if he kept distant but on the other hand if he had too much fun he would get into a lot trouble with his dad. He eventually decided he would talk to Kurt but wouldn't laugh (or blush) too much.

He walked out of the bathroom and almost jumped when he walked into another body, Kurt's. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know you would be here.." Blaine apologized.

"oh no, it's okay. But are you okay?" Kurt asked a little bit unsure.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I was so quiet before. Shall we go back in then?" Blaine smiled

Kurt didn't really believe it but was glad to see Blaine smiling again. "Sure" and he smiled too.

They went to sit across each other at the table again. Everyone else hadn't noticed both boys had been gone.

They both smiled at each other, both not knowing what to say.

The servants came walking to the table with big plates of food and everyone looked up, the Anderson really hungry all of the sudden, not used too the huge amount of food.

Kurt saw Blaine look at the food with fascination, he had to suppress a chuckle at the sight of that.

Blaine heard him "what?'.

Kurt looked at him with an amused smile, "Nothing". Blaine narrowed his eyes but smiled.

When everyone had food on their plates and everyone had prayed first Blaine took a bite of his food and he widened his eyes.

"Oh my god. This is delicious!" Kurt chuckled.

"Well I'm glad you like it."

"Do you eat this good everyday?" Blaine asked with amazement.

Kurt would've felt guilty but there was only curiosity in Blaine's eyes and no sign of anger or jealousy.

"I guess so" he laughed "But when you eat like this everyday you kinda get used to it. They do mess it up sometimes though. You should have seen my mother yell at the chef when he burned to food during an important dinner, she almost threw the food at him. The poor man ducked away for the rest of the week every time he saw my mother walking" Kurt chuckled again.

Blaine had been listening to Kurt with curiosity for what goes on in the life of someone who lives in the royal palace but he was paying more attention to how cute Kurt was when he chuckled or got caught up in his story.

"Sounds pretty hectic" Blaine grinned.

"You have no idea farm boy". And they both laughed. What both boys didn't know was that Blaine's dad was watching them, and what from he understood Blaine was flirting with the prince and he wasn't happy with that. He knew he couldn't really do anything now but Blaine would definitely hear about this later.

Blaine suddenly felt his fathers eyes rest on him and he looked his fathers way. He saw his father smile at him, but it certainly didn't look like a friendly smile. Blaine tried to look away and he felt a shiver running down his spine and his own smile disappeared from his face.

Kurt hadn't missed the look and Blaine's face. He wondered if this had something to do with earlier, but Blaine hadn't want to tell him before so he probably still wouldn't. Kurt decided to pretend like he hadn't seen anything. Blaine turned back to Kurt who was paying attention to their moms talking, Blaine hoped he hadn't noticed anything. Kurt saw Blaine was looking at him again so he turned his head with a small smile. Blaine had no idea what to do, he wanted to talk to Kurt again and smile back but he new his dad would be watching him the rest of the evening. To Blaine's relief Kurt started talking to his father (and Blaine's).

It wasn't until the next course that Kurt finally looked at Blaine again, poor Blaine looked so sad. Kurt tried to distract Blaine from what ever he was dealing with.

"So.." he pointed at the food on his plate. "Is it as good as before?" Kurt smiled and Blaine decided at that moment Kurt was more important than his father, his father would be mad now anyway so what was the point in playing the sad part now?

Blaine smiled too "It's even better" he tried to imitate someone who really knew everything about food, especially expensive food which caused Kurt to laugh.

"It must be really good then" he took a bite of the food. Blaine didn't know how someone could eat sexy but the way Kurt brought his fork to his mouth and put it in his mouth had something.. it almost made him shiver. Kurt's reply awoke Blaine from his thoughts.

"Eww" he tried to look disgusted. "No I'm sorry Blaine" This was the first time Kurt said his name and Blaine liked the way it sounded as if his name didn't always have to be spoken out loud by sounding angry, it sounded sweet.

"I'm afraid you know nothing about food, this tastes horrible". Kurt grinned and Blaine laughed.

"Ahh that is too bad, and my dream was to become a chef.. guess I can rule that out" Blaine pouted which caused Kurt's heart to flutter. What was this boy doing to him?

He smiled at Blaine, looking in to his beautiful eyes. Across the table Blaine was looking back in to Kurt's amazing baby-blue eyes. They stayed silent for another minute, hearts beating fast in their chests until they heard Kurt's father speaking.

"No, I'm afraid we haven't found the perfect girl to be our princess yet." Both Blaine and Kurt looked up immediately.

"Oh, that's a shame. Well I could understand you don't want to give your perfect son to some random girl." Blaine's father stated, Blaine noticed what his father was trying to do, if he wasn't at the royal palace and Kurt wasn't sitting across him he would've definitely yelled at him but in stead he didn't do anything he just sat there watching his father secretly hating him.

Kurt was blushing because of the topic but felt really bad on the other hand. Why hadn't he liked any girl that had come by? Some of them were really pretty and had lots of money, but still he had never felt the way he did when he was with Blaine. Did this mean he did like Blaine? Was he really gay? Kurt sat there looking white and frozen as well.

And then something happened they both weren't expecting.

"Blaine tell us about your girlfriend". Blaine's father grinned mischievous.

Blaine actually choked on his water. "Ehh what?"

"Tell us about your girlfriend". His father repeated.

Blaine sat there wide-eyed for a moment. "Right, ehh my girlfriend. Well I've ehh.. I've known her for over a year now and we're really happy together." Blaine hardly got that out of his mouth. His eyes were stinging, why did his father needed to be so cruel to him?

Kurt sat there, mouth wide open. He had just thought about possibly liking Blaine and he turned out to have a girlfriend? As in totally straight guy? He didn't want anyone to notice so he quickly closed his mouth but he wanted to get out here as soon as was possible.

Blaine's father went on making things about about Blaine's ''girlfriend'' to Mr. Greenwall while Celicia was laughing with Mrs. Greenwall. The only one who wasn't talking or laughing anymore was Blaine's mom. She was also shocked but she didn't look at Blaine nor her husband she was only thinking of a reason why.

Without anyone noticing (except Blaine) Kurt excused himself to the bathroom where he broke down. This couldn't be true! How could he think Blaine might have liked him anyway? He felt so stupid! He felt the tears streaming down his face, he wiped them away angrily. Suddenly he heard his name being called. "Kurt?" It was Blaine. "Go away" Kurt tried to keep his voice steady but he knew Blaine heard it wasn't.

Blaine was concerned about Kurt. What had happened that he was (probably) crying? "Kurt are you okay?" "Are you bleeding?" (hehe)
He heard Kurt's voice coming from the bathroom. "I'm fine!" "You're obviously not fine, are you crying?"

Kurt heard nothing but concern in Blaine's voice and he knew it wasn't actually his fault that he was crying. Ugh, that made him even feel more stupid! "I'm not crying!" of course his voice chose to abandon him right now.

"Kurt?" did I do something wrong? Blaine was really starting to get worried. What if he hadn't been talking enough to him? Had he been to afraid of his father? Had Kurt noticed that and thought Blaine was ignoring Kurt? "Kurt I'm sorry I haven't been talking to you too much, please come out".

Great, so now he thought it was his fault. Well technically Blaine was the reason he was crying but he couldn't let Blaine feel guilty for some stupid things he had made up in his head. He cleared his throat and wiped the tear stains of his cheek with his sleeve and opened the door.

Blaine immediately saw Kurt had been crying, he felt so bad for him. "Oh Kurt I'm so sorry.."

Kurt saw the look on Blaine's face and well.. he saw Blaine's face. He started to cry again and thew himself into Blaine's arms. Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt and started to shush him. "It's okay.. I'm really sorry. I won't ignore you anymore. I'm sorry."

Kurt tried deny it was his fault but his voice was still trembling. "N..no Blaine.. It really" snif "isn't your fault" snif "I..I was just.. stupid" snif.

Blaine couldn't stand the sight of Kurt crying, it was beautiful but so... so heartbreaking. Like he was going trough his pain too. "Can you tell me what happened?" Kurt shook his head. "No, I'm sorry". Blaine really wanted to help Kurt but he hadn't talked to Kurt before so it was only fair he respected his wish too.

After a while Kurt's crying turned into silent sniffing and then into sad hiccups. "Are you okay?" Blaine asked with a sweet voice. Kurt wanted to say something but he almost started crying again at the sound of Blaine's sweet voice so he just nodded. Blaine hugged Kurt a little tighter before he took a step back so he had his hands on Kurt's shoulders. He looked at the teary eyes and he felt his own heart break again, why did this beautiful boy need to suffer so much?

Kurt tried to smile and to lighten up the situation, well at least for Blaine. "So.. what's your girlfriends name?" Blaine froze. "Ehh I'm sorry what?" Your girlfriend what's her name? Kurt would hate that name forever he thought.. "Yeah about that..." Blaine blushed and looked away. Kurt was beginning to get curious, or angry he didn't really know. "What about her Blaine?" Blaine shook his head. "I can't lie to you Kurt.." Kurt was beginning to get confused. "What do you mean?" Blaine looked at Kurt again. "I don't have a girlfriend.." then he looked away. "I'm not like that.. not really into the whole girlfriend thing.. or girls in particular."

Kurt felt so stupid and happy at the same time. Was Blaine admitting to him he wasn't into girls either? "Oh.." was all Kurt got out. But Blaine took it an other way then Kurt had ment it. "I.. I understand. You must think I'm weird or probably want me to leave you alone." he quikly took his hand of that was still resting on one of Kurt's shoulders. "I.. I'll go now" Blaine tried to turn around.

"No, it's okay. I mean I don't care who you like.." Kurt smiled at a startled Blaine. "You.. you don't?" "No, I really don't. I'm not so quite convinced I like girls myself either.." Kurt started to blush and Blaine felt something to compare with butterflies in his belly. "Oh.." They stood there for a minute. Finally Blaine suggested to go back inside and they walked back together to the dining room and had fun the rest of the night.

They said good bye and Kurt promised they would see each other again soon. They hugged and everyone else shook hands and Blaine went back home.

When Blaine came home that night nothing happened because his parents went to excitedly talk in the living room and he went straight to bed.

Both boys slept very well that night, both dreaming of each other.
