Strange But True Love
Chapter 1
Blaine had had enough of everything. The bullying, the teasing, the names, his father, his mother. Everything. Just because he was gay doesn't mean he has to be tormented every waking minute of his life. He finds himself wandering the same beach over and over again, because he walks it whenever he is angry or fed up, and that happened quite often. He needed to vent, or he would explode soon. Blaine looked at his feet and found a blue rock that was almost clear and threw it as hard as he could into the dark waters. It was Saturday afternoon, and yet he still found himself angry because of his damn mother. He huffed and started walking away, then heard a thud. His eyebrow raised and he turned around slowly, and there on the beach, laid the rock he threw in the water only ten seconds ago. He jumped back in surprise, seeing it was physically impossible for a rock to fly. Blaine picks it up again, brushing the sand off of the smooth rock, and skipped it back into the calm waters. He watched again, and the rock broke the surface. He caught it in the palm of his hand, and he was left completely baffled.
"What the hell?" he mumbled, and he took a few steps in the water. Blaine threw it a little closer to him, but still at a distance. He waited, and sure enough the rock broke the surface again. His eyes were wide at this point, trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and he threw it seven feet out in front of him, and jumped when he saw a figure. How was someone that far out, and how could they hold their breath for so long? A boy broke the surface of the water this time, the stone in his hand. Blaine gave a soft yelp and jumped back, seeing that was what he was least expecting. A boy. A darn adorable boy as boy smiled softly and held out his hand, the rock in the palm of his hand. Blaine reaches out slowly and murmured, "Thanks..I guess," The boy gave a smile and a nod of his head. "Can you even talk?" the boy nodded and pulled himself up to some dryer sand then wrote, "But I don't like too."Blaine raised an eyebrow.
"Why not?"
"I hate it. It's too high." he looked down at the sand and sighed sadly.
"Oh...so..you're gay?" Blaine murmured, sitting down and pulling his legs to his chest. The boy raised an eyebrow.
"I guess it's slang for liking someone of the same gender...," The boy nodded and smiled softly, running his hand side to side in the water.
"Why don't you just sit next to me?" Blaine murmured. The boy but his bottom lip and flipped his- DEAR GOD! IS...IS THAT?
"WHAT THE HELL? YOU HAVE A TA-" the boy slammed a hand over his mouth and hushed him then wrote, "Yes, ok I have a tail. I'm a merman." the boy sighed then erased his writing and wrote,"You can't tell anyone though." Blaine's eyes were wide, but he slowly calmed down and then nodded his head.
"Of...of course." the boy sighed a sigh in relief and then wrote, "I'm Kurt." and he smiled and held out his hand.
"Blaine," and he shook his hand.
"Kurt... Can you talk for me? Please?" Kurt looked up and bit his bottom lip.
"I haven't talked in four years..." he wrote, and Blaine looked at him sadly.
"Four... Four years?" he whispered sadly. Kurt nodded and let out a shaky breath.
"S-so... I-I may b-be a little r-rusty..." he murmured, blushing a light pink. Blaine felt a small smile crawl across his face and he rested his head on his knees.
"I think you're voice is beautiful..." he murmured, smiling at Kurt. Kurt laughed softly and blushed a darker pink, and he was put into an insanely good mood instantly.
"Th-thank you... " he murmured, sitting up a bit more. Blaine smiled and bit his lip, looking at the beautiful green tail that replaced Kurt's legs.
"Have you... Been a merman your entire life?" he murmured, raising a curious eyebrow. Kurt nodded slowly.
"M-my.. father I-is the k-king.. Of m-my city. . So I'm the p-prince." he said, smiling sheepishly. Blaine's eyebrows flew up and a small smile spread across his face.
"Well hello, your highness." he said jokingly. Kurt rolled his eyes and laughed softly, smiling at Blaine.
"Th-this may b-be.. The happiest I-I've felt in y-years.." he murmured, blushing softly. Blaine smiled and stood up, laying down next to him.
"How come?" he said softly. Kurt bit his bottom lip and looked at the sand.
"When I-I was eight.. M-my mom died, and m-my dad r-remarried.. Just s-so quickly. H-Her n-name is Ca-Carlotta. . And Sh-she has Em-emotionally and physically h-harmed me..." he whispered, feeling the sting of tears behind his eyes. Blaine's eyes saddened as Kurt told his story, and he reached out and grabbed his hand gently to try and show his condolence and make him feel better.
"Kurt... I'm so sorry..." he whispered, rubbing his hand gently. Kurt nodded slowly and whispered, "Me too.."Blaine heard the broken tone in Kurt's voice. He thought his life was bad, Kurt's been physically and emotionally harmed, and he was only mentally from all the names and teasing and it all got to him one day. Kurt was looking down at the sand and then he suddenly pushed away and murmured a "Sorry" and started swimming. Blaine went to call out to him, but it was too late. He felt his eyes widen as he saw how Kurt's green tail actually moved. It was just like how the fairy tales described it, smooth and fish like. Blaine snapped out of his daze when he heard a splash and saw Kurt sitting on a rock, his tail hugged to his chest. Blaine walked the length of the dock and it ended right by the rock he was sitting on. He slid off his shoes and slid in the water and shivered at how cold it was, and swam over to the rock.
"You alright?" he said softly, smiling softly as well. Kurt looked over at him and nodded slowly, smiling sadly.
"Y-Yeah." he murmured. Blaine sat up next to him and smiled softly.
"I'd like to spend more time with you, Kurt." he murmured, causing Kurt to turn a bright red.
"I-I want to...spend m-more time with y-you... As well," he mumbled, smiling. "B-But... I could g-give you a tail...t-temporarily,"Blaine's eyes widened and he nodded slowly. Kurt grabbed his hand and closed his eyes then murmured, "Will p-probably hurt." and Blaine gritted his teeth and snapped his eyes shut. He was holding his breath because god it hurt like a bitch. He gasped as Kurt let go of his hand and coughed a bit, trying to catch his breath. He screamed in surprise, because where is legs were suppose to be, was a red-orange tail.
