This chapter is short since it's kind of the premise of an idea and to see if people are interested in reading more, it probably won't be one of my main four updated fics, (Night's Shadow, Prioritizing Defeat, Losing Someone I've Never Had, and No Matter What, No Matter Where) but if people like it I hope to create something others will enjoy.
This is set after 5x20, no Season 6 stuff as of yet, will be a note when/if things are about to change.
Proper length chapters (2,000+ words) will be called chapters, shorter than 1500 are shadows.
We're Sick Like Animals
Shadow One:
Everybody Wants to Be A Cat
Kurt Elizabeth Hummel hated not being normal, he hated that he had grown up spending large amounts of time by himself because of his mother's curse, a curse that he had had handed to him genetically. It had made him incredibly guarded from the world, it had made it so much harder for people to get to know him. Only one person had been able to break into the cocoon of shells that defended Kurt's soul, Blaine Anderson.
Kurt adored his fiancee and he knew that no matter what Blaine would love him, but the knowledge of someone loving you despite your flaws and the actual sense of daring to be different, daring yourself to open up in other ways was difficult.
Blaine would surely have questions, but then again who wouldn't.
Hello, my name's Kurt Hummel and from the time I was born I have had random moments of turning into a house cat which become significantly more frequent around the age of twenty-one years old. I will literally have to spend a certain number of hours, hours I choose living as a cat instead of a person and I've been hiding this from you because I'm scared you won't accept me.
Kurt smiled though, he knew that Blaine would more likely tease him about it and be interested than blame him or hate him for it. Blaine loved him and Kurt smiled fondly over the memories of being with Blaine.
Okay, maybe today would be the day. He had felt so much more different, it was as if the last time he and Blaine had been with each other had been magical, so releasing and so rewarding. Blaine had even described the moment as exhilarating, so surely this should mean Kurt would have the confidence to do this, especially since it was the hardest moment of all, the moment with most uncontrolled magic, two weeks before Kurt Hummel's birthday.
There was a rule with his kind (and yes there were others) that a man and a woman should never be together unless they were both cursed within this week as the mixing of their bodies might carry the curse and turn one of them into the soul animal, the animal that rested inside of them. So, yes, when Kurt had been alone he had looked out for any random birds that would haunt him, but he hadn't seen any of them.
Birds were always a bit of a distraction to other cats, but Kurt would have proudly protected his bird and made sure no one hurt him.
Okay, so now that Kurt Hummel was looking at how elegantly his reflection was, how the hippo brooch gave his outfit the charming look he wanted to offset the seriousness, he left the bathroom and saw a very curly haired black puppy in his and Blaine's bedroom next to his mirror. The puppy looked at him horrified and barked.
Kurt usually didn't like dogs, it was probably because he was a cat after all, but there was such attraction to this puppy. Such love towards the very curly furred puppy. Such adoration towards the black, adorable, ball of fluff. Such tenderness to that nervous and insecure attitude the puppy had. Such…attraction to those honey-hazel eyes that were resting on him as if the puppy had just seen a ghost.
Blaine…
