A/N: Blaine drops in on Kurt unexpectedly in an attempt to get Kurt to take him back, and finds Kurt cuddling with a new friend.
Kurt ran his hand down the back of the beautiful Rhodesian, whose head rested in his lap, inquisitive green eyes staring up at him, silently offering Kurt strength. The act of smoothing down the animal's striking red fur soothed Kurt's frazzled nerves. Kurt smiled weakly, wishing that his surprise guest would just get the hint and go away.
Blaine paced the rustic throw rug in front of the couch, trying to find any way to make Kurt listen to reason. He wanted to sit beside Kurt, put his arms around him, remind him of all the intimacy they had, but the obtrusive ridgeback took up the entire couch. Blaine made no move to approach the dog. Every time he came within touching distance of Kurt, the beast turned its full attention on him and growled low, threatening Blaine with a curl of its lip and a show of white teeth. Something about the dog unnerved Blaine.
Its expressive eyes looked almost human.
Blaine had never seen a dog with emerald green eyes.
Blaine watched Kurt pet the dog, his brow furrowing in confusion.
"When did you get a dog, anyway?" he asked, wary of the way the animal kept one eye on him at all times.
"He was a present from a friend." Kurt placed a kiss to the dog's muzzle.
Blaine nodded slowly, his expression changing as he thought he finally understood.
"Boyfriend, you mean," Blaine said, his voice rising in volume, becoming more accusatory. "You have a new boyfriend! That's why you won't get back together with me."
Kurt rolled his eyes and squeezed them shut, pinching the bridge of his nose between his forefinger and thumb. The dog brought its head up to Kurt's chest, resting against him and licking beneath his chin.
"That's not the reason," Kurt said in exasperation. "I broke up with you because you cheated on me. I'm not getting back together with you because you haven't shown me a single thing that proves you've changed."
Kurt sighed, trying hard not to lose his patience.
"We're just…too different now, Blaine. I've moved on. You should, too."
"I don't believe this." Blaine threw his peacoat on, grumbling as he did up the buttons. "I came all the way out here, Kurt…I followed you again, and for what? I should have gone to California with Sam…" Blaine continued to mutter as he threw his scarf around his neck, not bothering to tuck the ends into the collar of his coat.
Blaine fixed Kurt with a wounded glare.
"Good-by, Kurt," he spat out, his voice wavering. "Have fun with your dog!"
Kurt let his head drop backwards, leaning against the frame of the couch as he heard Blaine stomp out the door.
"I will," Kurt called after him, listening to him slide the loft door shut and his footsteps disappear down the hall.
He felt the large dog finally move and smiled.
"I can't believe it," Kurt groaned. "That's the fifteenth time this month."
"Well," a deep, velvety voice murmured, "let's hope he's gone for good this time."
Kurt turned his head toward the sound, watching as the last of the Rhosdesian Ridgeback's silky auburn coat dissolved into Sebastian's perfect, pale skin. Sebastian's grin didn't fade when he captured Kurt's lips, sucking on his plush lower lip, making him moan in anticipation of where else that mouth might want to kiss and suck.
"So," a delightfully naked Sebastian growled, pulling Kurt down on the couch beneath him, "where were we?"
