Chapter one:
RMS Titanic. The mightiest and most majestic ship of its day and also a luxury cruise for its thousands of passengers whether they be first, second or third class. There really was no other classier way to travel to New York and Kurt Elizabeth Hummel couldn't wait to get back home to New York.
He and his family had moved to Southampton on business until his mother left their family and took all their wealth with her, leaving Kurt and his farther penniless and with a mountain of debts to pay. Not only was all the money gone, Kurt had a shameful secret to hide from the rest world, guaranteeing him a life time of misery and anguish.
Kurt came out to his parents three years ago when he was fifteen. Although they half expected it they weren't going to lie down and accept it. They convinced themselves it was a phase and almost instantly set him up with a nice girl from his school. It didn't go well and Kurt kept declining all the girls his parents set him up with.
It wasn't until Kurt's mother left that his farther began to lie to him, telling him time and time again that she left because he was gay and it was his entire fault they were going to end up on the streets unless he married a girl from a rich family.
In actual fact Kurt's mother left because she had an affair with a famous care designer and left Kurt and his farther but Kurt never knew that. Ever since then Kurt remained silent in the matter of love and let his farther do all the work in finding him a life partner. A week after his mother left his farther set him up with yet another girl and Kurt let it all go ahead.
Their wedding was set for mid fall...
Kurt may have been silent but inside he was breaking. Guilt, depression and despair were the only emotions Kurt felt the majority of the time but Kurt didn't know how much the RMS Titanic was going to change his life.
Blaine Anderson on the other hand was a loveable street rogue, travelling from place to place trying to make enough money to put food in his stomach and a roof over his head for a night. Blaine left home when he 16 with no education and a little money in his pocket but he didn't mind.
Blaine got the food and shelter he needed by doing two things.
The first was selling his art work. He got around a lot to work, this included his trip to Paris where he worked as a street artist, drawing and selling portraits. He travelled all around the world drawing trying to make enough money to get him through another day.
The second was poker. Blaine was a natural lucky hand at the game, always had been and it was often the thing he was forced to turn to if no one wanted any of his art work. He won a range of things from money to jewellery but he had no idea what was in store for him.
