Chapter 3

"Wake up."

Blaine heard this deep voice and immediately shot his eyes open and sat up from his bed. It was still very dark outside and his heart started beating rapidly because a tall man was in his room standing over him.

"W-what's going on?" Blaine looked around the room looking for his sword; curse him for leaving it a few feet away from himself instead of right beside his bedside. Was he in danger? It was barley his first night here in France and he was already about to get murdered? Why would the security be so weak here in this castle? Something like this would never happen back in Austria.

"Sit up, we need to talk." The man lit up a candle that was by Blaine's bedside and revealed himself towards the Austrian prince. Blaine's eyes widened a little; this man was such a strong built figure. However he still felt that he was in danger so he had to watch this man's every move.

"What do you want, are you here to try to kill me?" Blaine said roughly.

The man laughed, "No man, I'm not here to kill you. I am technically a highly trained assassin, but I'm not ordered here to get rid of ya. If I was, you'd be meeting Jesus by now."

Blaine gulped.

"My name is Noah Puckerman, since we're not close, just call me Noah. I'm Kurt's body guard, brother, best friend, you get the drill. We need to talk."

Blaine was internally screaming, why did he want to talk to him about Kurt? All he did was stare at him once, or maybe even a couple of times. He told himself he wasn't going to try to pursue him for multiple and obvious reasons and he can't let this tall, handsome…

'Focus Blaine!' Blaine shook his head and looked at the man. "What is there to talk about towards Prince Kurt, especially at this hour…and in this way?"

"I wanted to wait till morning, but I'm a smart man Blaine, it would be too dangerous to have this conversation during the day when everybody is awake."

"Talk about what? What type of conversation?"

"So you like Kurt?"

Blaine's eyes widened and the first thing that came out of his mouth was no. He had to deny every accusation that this man is about to make towards him. He was an assassin, if he found out he was gay, is he going to kill him?

"No!" Blaine tensed up. "Of course not, why would you say something like that?"

Puck smirked. "Come on, Kurt's safety is my life's purpose, I keep track of everyone that is within 10 feet of him. Don't think I didn't see the way you looked at him."

Blaine was surprised, he had a few body guards for himself and Quinn, but they never really cared about them sincerely. Noah seemed to care a lot for Kurt, but he was still secretly panicking since the man in front of him was basically asking him if he was gay. "I don't like Kurt or men in general. I am attracted to woman; I wasn't staring at anyone in anyway." He tried to sound serious but this lie was just too hard to make it sound real.

"Listen, I'm watching you, like a hawk. I'm practically always with Kurt unless they send me out of the country for another mission. I know you're gay, if you hurt Kurt in any way, you will regret this. You are a gay Austrian Prince, and yes Kurt is gay too…"

Blaine's eyes really widened this time. The prince that he has been admiring over last night was gay too? Then it finally hit him, that smirk that Kurt gave him should have been a small clue that he was gay too. What does this mean? What's going to happen to Quinn is she actually going to marry a gay prince? How will she get pregnant if he's gay? Blaine's head started to hurt and he rubbed his temples with the news that Noah just gave him.

"I know, this whole marriage is fucked, but that's where you come in." Puck crossed his arms.

Blaine shook his head. "He's going to marry my sister, what on earth do you want me to do?"

"In time I have a plan for you and Kurt, but I can't say for now. It's too soon, but what I want for you to do is to not hurt Kurt in any way. I know you're going to fall in love with him, and I want you to make him happy you do."

"Love? The last thing that I need to do is fall in love with Kurt, he's going to marry my sister and I don't want my head cut off. Besides…how are you so sure that I'll fall in love with him?"

"Because I know Kurt, anyone that is willing to get to know him for whom he is will easily fall under his spell. He may have that prince charm, but he's so much more than that. Seeing the way you look at him just proves to me that you'll be under his spell in less than a week."

"Well I'm not, and I never will. Yes you caught me, I'm gay. Not even my own family knows, so I have no idea how you figured this all out. I understand by the fact that Kurt is gay, but it is forbidden for us to ever even have any sort of romantic feelings towards one another. Not only will his father kill me, but I don't want to ruin this country's future. Kurt and Quinn are its future; I can't get involved even if I wanted too."

"Blaine, I know, just trust me. I know you'll fall in love with Kurt, and when you do, look for me." Puck looked up and noticed the sun beginning to rise. He had to go back to Kurt's room and be by his side for his morning routine. Puck looked at Blaine's eyes once more, smirked and walked away.

Kurt's eyes fluttered open. Immediately the thoughts of Quinn and how he's going to have to spend most of the day with her today to try to get to know her bored him. She was a nice girl from his first impression, but he had no interest whatsoever to be with her. He sighed as he sat up but noticed something was missing, where's Puck? He picked up his large soft blankets that spread across his bed, he was nowhere in sight.

Puck was always in Kurt's room as soon as he wakes up. Puck's room was right next to Kurt's but they were so close that they were just simply used to living in the same room together. Kurt had absolutely no feelings for Puck, but he knew deep down that life without Puck would be miserable. Kurt stood up and decided to dress as casual as a prince possibly could. He tried on light tight beige pants, dark brown boots and a comfortable dark red long sleeved shirt.

He headed out of his room and smiled as Puck was walking towards him. "Where did you go last night?" Kurt asked out of curiosity. It was never like Puck to leave him alone especially during the night. Puck only smirked but shook his head.

"It doesn't matter Prince, let's go get your lady now shall we?"

Kurt sighed. Here we go, day one.

Quinn smiled as she looked up at her new prince, maybe one day she can learn to love him? They both walked beside each other in the large vast gardens of the castle. Red beautiful roses surrounded them and there was a huge field of strawberries only a few feet away. The aroma in the air smelled so sweet, she knew that this would be her new favorite place to be in. Quinn loved nature, and just looking around at the plants, fruits, trees, fountains and ponds made her feel nothing but bliss.

Blaine scowled as he watched them from far away. Just rethinking his conversation with Puck last night made him upset. Kurt was gay, he was gay, and there his sister was; fawning over a man who will never love her. He didn't know if Quinn will ever fall in love with Kurt, but he was just thinking more and more about the prince's preference. However, he knew he had to ignore it, the last thing that he needed was his head to get cut off.

Blaine watched Kurt lean down and pick out a rose for Quinn and handed it to her with a smile. The Austrian Prince rolled his eyes, he knew this was all fake. Should he tell Quinn? He loved his sister more than anything, should she know this was all an act? Or would Kurt be able to fake this till his death? Should his sister just live this lie and find only mediocre happiness with this man? Blaine shook his head, he needed to walk this off and clear his head. The last thing that he needed was to start any trouble for this new couple.

Blaine walked towards the end of the garden, there were guards surrounding the area and he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. Suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder and he quickly turned around. "Blaine, let's go have a lunch with Kurt and Quinn shall we?" he winked at him and lead Blaine towards a them.

"Hello Blaine!" Quinn said happily as Blaine stood sat in front of her, Kurt was next to Quinn and Puck sat in front of Kurt.

"Blaine, it's nice to see you." Kurt said quietly but didn't even bother to look at him. However, Kurt looked up when he felt a slight kick from Puck under the table.

"So Blaine," Puck said as he ate his meal. They were all eating a delicious fish that the finest chef from France. "What are your hobbies?"

"Well I like to train with my swords…" Blaine hoped that it didn't sound as sexual as he thought it did. "I-I also like to swim, paint, plant flowers, just activities that my mother and father have taught me when I was younger."

Kurt half smiled, he thought those were cute hobbies.

"Quinn what about you?" Kurt asked. He knew he had to try to get to know her as much as he could.

"Pretty much the same hobbies that Blaine has. We grew up and did everything together, he's my best friend."

"How much do you know about Blaine, Quinn?" Puck asked her with a smirk.

Blaine secretly kicked Puck from under the table. Puck didn't know that Quinn doesn't know that Blaine is gay, and she never will know. Quinn and Blaine grew up in a religious castle, and he feels like she'll hate him if she ever found out.

Quinn only smiled. "Of course I know all about him."

Puck only nodded and Kurt raised his eyebrow. Was Puck going at something? Kurt noticed how Puck was glancing back and forth with himself and Blaine, he noticed how Puck kept staring at…Blaine's crotch? He shook his head and he mentally noted that he would have to talk to this man later on tonight.

Puck couldn't help but laugh on the inside, Blaine was sneaky but Puck could still spot everything that he was doing. Not only did Blaine start having a boner in his tight white pants, but every time Kurt opened his mouth to eat something Blaine couldn't help but stare. Puck even saw Kurt stare at Blaine for a few moments. They both were obviously had the hots for each other, but he wasn't going to let Blaine sleep with Kurt or anything. Or at least not until he trusted Blaine to be completely alone with Kurt first.

Puck noticed a woman who was one of the many maids start coming up behind Quinn. "Princess Quinn, it is time for you daily lessons." The maid said. Quinn frowned, she knew that she had to have this daily routine of learning how to adjust to the rules of being a royal in France. This was something that she was going to have to get used to for quite some time now. She did want to spend a bit more time with Kurt, she was very interested in who he was as a person but she had to leave.

"I'm sorry guys I have to go, but I will see you all tonight for dinner." She said smiling. She leaned to Kurt and gave him a kiss on the cheek and waved goodbye to the rest of the boys. Kurt sat there still when after she gave him a kiss, and Blaine couldn't help but scowl as she walked away. Puck only laughed.

"Well Kurt, this was a lovely lunch, but I have to go. Your father wants to talk to me about something important. Why don't you get to know Blaine for now?" Puck said smirking.

Kurt shook his head no and Blaine started to panic. He already felt the pressure in his pants and the last thing that he needed was to be alone with this man. Puck ignored their inner pleads and walked away. Kurt sighed as he cleaned his mouth and stood up. He looked at Blaine who was already staring at him, Kurt looked straight ahead and spotted an area where there aren't many guards. It was surrounded by large trees with a nice pond in the center. Kurt turned back at him and motioned Blaine for him to follow.

Blaine without even thinking fixed his pants without Kurt noticing and started to walk behind Kurt. They didn't even talk as they reached the area. Blaine honestly looked like a puppy following the tall Prince that was in front of him. Blaine couldn't help but stare at his ass again but he didn't want the other soldiers to see. Kurt smirked knowing he was staring at him while he was walking in front of him.

They entered the area, they were surrounded by trees and were mostly hidden. Blaine didn't know what was going on or what was going to happen. Kurt was silent, stiff, even a bit serious looking. When Puck motioned for them to get to know each other he didn't know that Kurt would take them to a secluded area. He was even surprised to say the least that there was a secluded area like this in the large garden. Kurt turned towards Blaine and motioned for them to sit down in the soft green grass. There were daisies surrounding them and Blaine could see this beautiful pond that was behind Kurt.

"This used to be my sanctuary when I was a little boy." Kurt said quietly. Blaine smiled, he could imagine the little prince playing around in this place that looks like a fairyland. "I used to think a lot here too. I sometimes cried, but this was my safe place. It helped me get away from all of my responsibilities."

"I wish I had a place like this." Blaine said as he looked at Kurt grab a handful of daisies to smell. "My mother never let me be alone. I always had to have a maid or just someone in general keep an eye on me."

"It's the only safe place that I have, my father let me come here alone and he ordered for the soldiers to leave me alone when I come here. Only Puck can come here, but no one else."

Blaine frowned. What was the real deal with this guy anyways? Puck was a bit too close to Kurt and it made him feel uncomfortable. He knew he shouldn't feel jealous, and he doesn't, but it just felt…odd. "So who is Puck anyways?"

Kurt smiled, he sensed the hint of jealousy in Blaine's voice. "He's my friend. He's been with me since we were little. He always protected me, his family has been working with mine for many generations. Puck's father, Jericho, is one of the most dangerous assassins in France. He protects my father, Puck protects me. He's one of the most skilled assassins that I've ever seen." Kurt sighed and laid down in the grass. He folded his arms behind his head and looked up at the dark green leaves. He knew he was saying too much, but Kurt just felt comfortable for having the chance to talk to someone that wasn't Puck. He spoke to Quinn, but he knew he couldn't tell her everything since she will be spending a lot of time with almost every important woman in the castle.

Blaine watched Kurt, his body was a lot more attractive than what he had noticed before. His long thin legs, flat hard chest, strong toned arms; but it didn't matter. Puck's voice was in the back of his head, he remembered him saying how Blaine would fall in love with Kurt. He prayed to God that, that would never happen. "Why do you have to have your own personal body guard/assassin? I have my body guards but I don't have anyone like Puck."

"Long story short, some men have tried killing my father in the past. My father thinks that they will one day try to harm me when I become King. That's why they've been training Puck since birth in order for him to protect me."

Blaine frowned, the thought of Kurt ever being in danger scared him, but he hoped that Puck was as good as he says he is. Blaine looked at Kurt and caught him staring at him, his cheeks instantly turning red. "Blaine can I ask you something?" asked Kurt as he sat up. Blaine only nodded.

"You like boys too?"

Blaine's eyes widened. "No! Why would you say that?"

"I've noticed your bulge since we got up from the table."

Blaine smacked his face with his hands, how stupid could he be with his hormones? He knew he couldn't control it very well, but he didn't know at the same time that Kurt would notice so easily. Kurt smirked, "And I know for a fact that it wasn't your sister that was the one that gave you that bulge."

Blaine knew he was caught.

"I…no one can know Kurt."

"It's okay, I know what it's like to feel pressured to hide it. I'm gay too, and I expect for you to not tell anyone either." They both sat criss cross in front of each other. "Blaine, I think you're attractive too, but I expect for you to not do anything about it."

Blaine frowned and looked down at the ground with a sigh.

"I don't want you to get in trouble, and I don't want to hurt Quinn if she found out. I don't know how I'm going to marry Quinn and live a happy life, but I think it's best that you and I stay away from each other."

Blaine looked up at him confused. "We…we can't even be friends?"

"I'm sorry."

Blaine's frown deepened. He doesn't even know this man; so why does he feel so hurt? Kurt was more mature than Blaine, that was obvious. He knew that this was probably the best thing he could do, but why does he not want to pull through with this? "Kurt I won't...I promise I won't make it obvious for the both of us about our sexuality."

Kurt was sad about this, he was attracted to Blaine and in a perfect world he would love to get to know him more and become something more, but this was reality that he had to face. "No Blaine, the way you get aroused, your…I mean our…hormones are dangerous. I don't want to mess up."

Blaine looked at him in surprise, Kurt was attracted to him too?

"Prince where are you?!"

Kurt stood up as he heard Puck calling out for him. "I have to go Blaine, goodbye."
