Happy New Year!

It was snowing again but Kurt didn't notice it as he was led out of the warehouse, towards his apartment. Blaine kept his arm around him, afraid of Kurt getting sick in the cold. A part of Kurt wanted to shove his arm away and yell at the boy but the other part of him didn't want to let go of Blaine ever. It was strange. But the whole situation was strange. Kurt's head was spinning as he kept thinking about what had happened inside of the building. He didn't understand a thing. Blaine wasn't the boy who he knew and he was close to find out what or who he really was. The thought made him nervous. He loved Blaine and didn't want his image about him shatter. He wanted to get home and forget about the morning but he knew it was impossible. He had to hear the answers, no matter what they meant.

Blaine led him upstairs without saying a word and Kurt only realised that they were back home when Rachel threw her arms around him.

"Where have you been?" she asked in concern. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah" Kurt answered weakly. "I just... I got lost."

"Lost?" Rachel asked with a raised eyebrow.

"This city is big, it happens sometimes" Blaine said, trying to convince Rachel that everything was fine.

"Sure" Rachel nodded hesitantly.

"Blaine, you're here!" Santana cried out happily when she saw him. "You ran away and didn't even taste the breakfast I made for you."

Blaine turned red as he felt both Rachel and Kurt's curious gaze on him. He had so much to explain and he had to do something with Santana as well. But first, he had to talk to Kurt.

"Would you guys excuse us? I have to talk to Kurt" he said.

"Of course" Rachel said, looking from one boy to the other. She knew that something had happened between them and they needed privacy. "Come on, Santana. We should... uhm... We should visit Elliott."

Santana seemed disappointed but in the end, she nodded and grabbed her coat as Rachel got ready to go. Kurt and Blaine didn't move from the living room as they were waiting for the girls to leave. Kurt was still lost in his thoughts and Blaine tried to figure out how to tell him the truth. When finally the girls were gone, Blaine stepped closer to Kurt and tried to grab his hand but Kurt pulled away sharply and took a step away from him. Blaine was close to tears. Kurt looked betrayed and hurt and he had every right to feel that way. Blaine had lied to him after all.

"You should sit down" Blaine said nervously and stepped to the couch.

Kurt didn't follow him at first, he kept his eyes on the floor and when Blaine was about to step to him again, making sure he was fine, Kurt raised his shaky hands and rubbed his eyes. When he looked up at Blaine again, he seemed somber and determined.

"Would you finally explain what the hell is going on?" he asked, his voice dangerously quiet.

"I will tell you everything, I swear" Blaine said.

"Go on" Kurt nodded and sat down, choosing the farthest chair from Blaine.

Blaine was about to cry. He could see how angry Kurt was, he had the right to do so of course but Blaine wanted this conversation to end happily. He still believed that they could be happy together.

"Where should I start..." he muttered to himself.

"Maybe with your weird looking friends. Or who you really are because from the craziness that happened in the past days, I'm not sure who you are anymore" Kurt said.

"You're right" Blaine said and sat down, looking down at his hands. "Kurt, I'm gonna tell you the truth about myself but it could be a little... overwhelming and maybe even a bit scary. But please, don't freak out. I'm still the boy you know."

Kurt had no idea what it meant but he nodded. Yes, he was mad, but the news Blaine was about to share with him couldn't be that bad. Maybe he had those strange friends and a few little secrets but he was a good guy. Right?

"So... I'm not an exchange student" Blaine started.

"I figured out" Kurt nodded.

"I come from another land, it was true but... this land is a lot farther than Ireland" Blaine said.

"Blaine, just say it out straight. Who are you?" Kurt asked.

"I'm a fairy" Blaine said.

He waited for Kurt to say something. He expected more questions, he expected him to freak out but what Kurt did was totally surprising. He started laughing.

"Okay, this was a really good joke but now you should really tell me the truth" Kurt said.

"It's true! I'm a fairy and I come from another dimension!" Blaine explained.

"I'm not a small child, Blaine. I don't believe in fairies" Kurt replied.

Blaine sighed. Of course Kurt didn't believe him. He had to do something to show Kurt that he told him the truth.

Show...

He wasn't sure he could make the effect of the pill disappear, he had never tried before. But he hoped his magic was strong enough to turn back, so Kurt could see his true self.

"I'm gonna show you. Just... give me a minute" Blaine said and stood up again. He closed his eyes and focused all of his power to make himself look fairy again.

He could feel when it happened. He could feel the pain radiating through his back as his wings grew out again, he could feel his whole body change and the strong wave of power that told him he was in his true form again. He opened his eyes and looked at Kurt.

The boy was now on his feet, he backed away into the corner of the room with his hands over his heart. He opened his mouth but closed it without saying a word, he reached out towards Blaine but pulled his hand back almost instantly.

"Don't be afraid of me, Kurt" Blaine said gently. "I'm still the boy you know."

It was the second when Kurt's mind decided that it was too much for him for one day. He had been kidnapped, dragged into a warehouse by strangers – fairies! - and his boyfriend was a fairy as well with wings and pointed ears and everything he believed was just a myth. Before he could do or say anything, his eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed.

"Kurt!"

Lorelle was sitting in the huge garden under her favourite tree, listening to the sounds of the nature. The tree was a gift from her husband the day when Blaine had been born, it had grown with her son and now was towering over her, keeping the strong light of the sun away from the queen. Lorelle spent most of her days here under the tree since her husband had come to her the other day, telling her that they had detected Blaine's magic on the Earth. The Earth... A place far away from here, full of danger and her only son was there, alone. Lorelle was so worried, she couldn't think about anything but the boy.

Drake had sent his soldiers to find Blaine, of course, but it had been days ago. They hadn't gotten anything since then which meant they still hadn't found the prince. It wasn't a suprise, though. Blaine was somewhere in New York, a huge city on Earth and they didn't know his exact position. Who knew how long they had to wait for his return.

Lorelle hugged the book she was holding tighter to her chest. It was Blaine's favourite book, the one about a world without magic, where humans lived their short but peaceful lives without having concerns the fairies had. Blaine had dreamt about that world a lot. When he had been younger, he had told his mother several times that he would travel to that world one day to see if the book was right. Lorelle had thought that it was just a dream of a child, she had never taken it seriously. She should have. Because that was where her son had run away and they could have found him easier if she had paid attention back then. But she hadn't. Blaine had been just a silly little boy and Lorelle had never thought he would be capable of leaving like this.

"You're doing this again."

Lorelle looked up to find her husband standing a few feet away from her, smiling sadly.

"Anything new?" she asked hopefully.

"Not yet" Drake answered.

Lorelle looked down, sighing sadly. Another day without her son. She wasn't sure she was able to take more.

"But I got word from the guards. Blaine used his magic again and they know in which part of the city he is. They will find him in no time" Drake smiled and kneeled down beside his wife to hug her. "He will be back soon."

"I just hope he's alright" Lorelle said, blinking back her tears. She felt somewhat relieved now that she knew her son was going to be back soon.

"He is. I can feel it" Drake said and kissed his wife. Even if he was angry with Blaine, he was his father, he was worried sick about his only son.

Blaine was able to catch Kurt before he could have hit his head onto the hard floor. He pulled the boy into his arms and brought him into his room, laying him down gently. Then he waited for Kurt to wake up. He had assumed that Kurt would freak out but he got scared when the boy collapsed in front of him. Was he really that scary? It couldn't be good...

Kurt opened his eyes half an hour later, when Blaine was ready to freak out. He blinked a few times, looking at the ceiling but then he moved his gaze and looked straight at Blaine. Kurt shrieked and pushed himself into a sitting position, moving so fast that he almost fell from the bed.

"Hey. You're okay" Blaine smiled.

"You... you..." Kurt took a shaky breath and closed his eyes, hoping that it was just a weird dream. Unfortunately, when he opened his eyes again, he found Blaine, the fairy Blaine, sitting in the other side of the bed. "You're a fairy."

"I am" Blaine nodded.

"You're a fairy" Kurt muttered with wide eyes.

Blaine thought that Kurt must have been in shock and he needed some more time.

"I'm gonna bring you water" Blaine said and stood up.

When he got back a minute later, he found Kurt where he had left him, curled up on the bed, facing him with wide eyes.

"Please, don't be scared. I know it must be too much for you but I won't hurt you. Okay?" Blaine said slowly.

Kurt nodded and took the water from him, taking small sips.

"Santana was right" Kurt decided. "You're a drug dealer and you gave me something, that's why I'm hallucinating. It will go away soon."

"Kurt, I'm not a drug dealer" Blaine smiled. "This is all real."

"Fairies don't exist" Kurt said.

"Yes, we do" Blaine disagreed. "In another world."

Kurt drank some more water and stood up from the bed. He walked to Blaine and reached out to touch his wings.

"What are you doing?" Blaine smiled.

"They seem real..." Kurt said.

"They are" Blaine said.

"How is it possible?" Kurt muttered.

"I come from another world" Blaine started. "I visited your world once and I liked it, so I ran away from home and moved in here."

"How can you be so... human like sometimes?" Kurt asked.

"I use magic pills" Blaine said and pulled out the small sack from his pocket. "I take one and it makes me human for one day."

"Why did you run away?" Kurt asked next.

Blaine sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"My life was complicated back there. My parents wanted me to marry someone I hated and when the day of the wedding came, I freaked out. I ran to my friend who had brought me here earlier and asked for his help. I left as soon as I had the pills. And I don't want to go back" Blaine explained.

Kurt thought about the conversation Blaine had had with the other fairies.

"They're searching for you" he frowned. "Why do they want you to go back?"

"My father's the king" Blaine said quietly.

"Wait. You're a fairy prince?" Kurt asked in disbelief.

"The one and only" Blaine laughed but stopped when he saw the disbelief in Kurt's eyes. "I'm serious, Kurt. My father, Drake Anderson is the fairy king. I'm his only heir. I was supposed to marry this man, Sebastian, because we're in war with a powerful witch. We needed the alliance with them and my parents thought it would be the best to marry him as well."

"So you have a fiancé in another dimension" Kurt muttered, slowly processing the informations.

"I don't love him" Blaine said. "I only love you."

"And what did you want with all of this?" Kurt asked. "When did you want to tell me? God, how did you get into my life? Was it all a trick?"

"Yeah..."

Kurt jumped up and Blaine followed him quickly, grabbing his arm.

"Please, let me explain" he begged.

"Was there anything true about you?" Kurt asked quietly.

"Yes. I love you. I've loved you from the first sight and yes, I made wrong steps, I enchanted a few people so I could spend more time with you, but my feelings were always real" Blaine said.

"What do you mean 'enchanted'?" Kurt asked in fear.

"I might have used some magic to get into NYADA" Blaine said slowly.

"What?" Kurt gasped.

"Because I wanted to spend my days with you!" Blaine explained.

"What else?" Kurt asked.

"I used some magic on Santana as well" Blaine admitted. "She saw me yesterday and I didn't want her to tell you about me before I could do so."

"I don't even know you" Kurt said with wide eyes, fighting against Blaine to free his arm. "You lied to me. You hurt my friend! How were you able to do this?"

"I'm gonna make it better" Blaine said desperately. "I'm gonna heal Santana. I-I can quit from school just please, please, forgive me."

Kurt pressed his eyes together to not cry. It was so much. It was too much for him. He shook his head and looked up at Blaine again.

"No" he said.

"Because I'm a fairy?" Blaine asked.

"No" Kurt said sadly. "I could accept... this if you had been honest to me from the first minute. But relationships are about trust, Blaine. And I can't trust you anymore."

As those words left Kurt's lips, Blaine's world shattered into a million pieces.

Sue Sylvester wanted nothing but a peaceful night, sitting in front of the fireplace, drinking vine and imagining how she would destroy the fairy kingdom. She had gotten a riport from Karofsky earlier that day, telling her that they were still waiting for the prince to appear in the park. Sue didn't know if she should be angry because the trolls still hadn't found the prince or happy because they were a step closer to Blaine. She was getting ipatient, she could feel it. The prince hid from them pretty well, she expected him to be caught by now but it didn't mean she would give up. No, Sue Sylvester never gave up.

"Mistress!" Becky rushed into the room without knocking.

"Becky, I told you a million times. Knock before you step inside!" Sue growled.

"I'm sorry, Mistress, but this is important" Becky said.

Sue sat up straight in her armchair.

"Did we get news from the trolls?" she asked.

"No. But you have a visitor" Becky answered.

Sue groaned in exasperation.

"Tell them to come back tomorrow" she ordered.

"He said that it's important, Mistress" Becky answered.

"Who is it?" Sue asked, angry from being disturbed.

"Sebastian Smythe" Becky answered.

Sue's eyes widened the slightest. Sebastian Smythe was the fiancé of the prince. What did he want here?

"Send him to me" Sue said.

Becky nodded and disappeared from the room. A few minutes later she came back with Sebastian who was dressed in a black cloak.

"That's certainly a surprise" Sue said when Sebastian stepped closer to her. "What are you doing here, Lord Smythe?"

"Lady Sylvester" Sebastian bowed. "I came with an offer I'm sure you would like."

"An offer from the prince's fiancé? I'm not sure I'm interested" Sue replied.

"You will be" Sebastian said and sat down into an armchair next to the fire. "I know that you're looking for the prince."

"Everybody's looking for the prince" Sue said.

"But the two of us wants him for the same reason" Sebastian said. "We both want the end of the Anderson regime and we can do it with the prince in our hands."

"Why should I trust you?" Sue asked.

"Because you don't have another option" Sebastian answered. "You can't get inside the castle, so you can't have the informations I have. On the other hand, I need your help because I can't leave without being noticed. We need each other."

Sue remained silent for a minute, considering the offer.

"Let's say I'm willing to work with you" she said slowly. "What do I get in return? Because if you said the truth, I guess you want to rule the kingdom yourself."

"That's right" Sebastian nodded. "I would be the king but I would allow you and your witches to use dark magic without being punished for it."

"That's not enough" Sue said. "I want the half of the kingdom."

"Why would I give you half of the kingdom? All you will do is catch the prince, the biggest part of the job is mine" Sebastian reasoned.

"I can catch him on my own, I don't need your help" Sue said. "And once I have him, I will be strong enough to take over the kingdom without your help."

"I won't be so sure. Blaine's magic is strong, maybe even stronger than yours. You will need me" Sebastian said.

"What is your plan?" Sue asked.

"We bring the prince back and convince him to marry me. Once the ceremony is over and we're back in our chamber, we kill Blaine and take over the kingdom" Sebastian explained.

"Interesting idea" Sue said.

"Nobody's expecting it from me. I made the whole family trust me" Sebastian said.

"I have one condition" Sue said int he end. "I want to kill King Drake myself."

"As you wish, my Lady" Sebastian smiled. He couldn't wait for the day of his coronation.
