BTW if you haven't already, please check out my edited short story (it's complete) Fuzzy Tale– a smutty & fluffy fic with bunny!Kurt
Kurt squinted suspiciously at the murky water in the glass in front of him served by his Dom instead of the usual morning coffee.
"What is that?"
"Pickle juice. For the effect of yesterday's drinks."
"I'm not hungover."
"You also have a long day ahead of you, Kitten." Blaine leaned against the kitchen wall with a slight smile. "It is very healthy overall, so just humour me."
The Sub scrunched his face but took a sip under the hawk-like stare from Blaine.
"So… the thing you said in the bar…" The Dom started.
"I wasn't that drunk, Blaine – I remember perfectly and stand by my decision. It is about time I show Sebastian that my man is not available for his schemes to hook up with Subs." Kurt winced as the last of the sour juice passed his throat. What obscure website Blaine got that awful juice recipe from?
"Did something else spur your decision?" Blaine asked as he was closing the jar with the pickled cucumbers and tidying up the kitchen counter. "You mentioned that Nick was in need of cheering up…"
Kurt hesitated. Blaine was giving him a perfect opening to tell him about Sebastian outrageous behaviour toward Nick, but… on the other hand, the older Sub asked him to keep everything to himself. Kurt could totally understand that, and in the end, the loyalty to his Dom seemed not as vital at this moment as the support of another Sub.
"You are the boss, so you know that everyone's been stressed out lately. Sebastian certainly doesn't help by getting in everyone's way, so I'm kind of doing everyone a favour by taking his focus away from you."
Blaine didn't look entirely convinced, but he eventually sighed with resignation. "Okay. I guess it would have come out sooner or later – I had hoped it would happen after Sebastian grew bored of his visits and teasing the staff, especially the Submissives."
He stepped closer to his Sub. Kurt's heart stuttered as Blaine hooked a finger around his shirt collar, opening it wider. He searched around, skimming over Kurt's collarbones, and upon finding the thin chain, he pulled it outside.
The plate flashed in the kitchen lights, the side with AB initials facing up.
"Start with wearing this out, ok?"
Kurt was frozen to his spot from Blaine's sudden closeness, and it took him a moment to realize that the Dom was awaiting his answer.
"Oh…O-okay," he stuttered. Blaine smiled, pleased.
Kurt felt that the fingers did not leave his neck, but instead massaged lightly at the delicate skin there.
"It wouldn't be as visible as if I'd had a collar on," Kurt said, weirdly remembering how Blaine's mother looked wearing a collar underneath her scarf. Maybe because Patrick had a similar possessive glint in his eyes looking at his Sub as Blaine in this very moment.
"It's not for everyone," the Dom said cautiously, but Kurt could feel through his skin as the Dom's fingers stopped moving, frozen. "And I wouldn't want you to wear one just so others would know your status."
"But you'd be okay with me wearing a collar in general?" Kurt suddenly felt curious. After all, most Subs in a contract wore one on a daily basis – there was no way that it didn't somehow affect Blaine.
The Dom, surprisingly, didn't seem to know how to answer that at first. He opened his mouth, just to close it again.
"I don't think this is the best time to discuss it." He finally said. "When a Dom-Sub pair decides to use a collar, it's to show a specific level of dynamic and intimacy between them. We haven't yet fully explored what dynamic our relationship has, and I don't want to influence your decisions too much at this stage."
Kurt still was incredibly curious but could understand Blaine's hesitation. "You're right… Meanwhile, I have another idea for enhancing my Sub image."
He hooked his fingers around the belt loops in Blaine's pants and tugged him to follow, leading him to the living room. More precisely – to the couch that had Kurt's outfit for the day laid out. Cooper was sitting next to it, waggling its tail in excitement as if he was a part of the plan too.
Blaine looked over the presented clothes. All articles were in pastel colours and had a very feminine cut. Each of them separate were nothing out of ordinary and certainly Kurt's usual style, but put together they made a very, well, cute statement.
"That's… interesting."
"I know, I know… I'm going to look like a My Little Pony embodiment in that, but I would prefer for Sebastian to just realize the whole thing by himself instead of me having to spell it out for him."
"I still think that's over the top and unnecessary." Blaine eyed the slim salmon-coloured pants with a light pink scarf for a belt and the pale apricot shirt. "You do realize that you're about to stereotype Subs if this is what you think they would wear."
Kurt huffed. His Dom was sometimes too open-minded to see how the world looked at Subs.
"Blaine. I'm not trying to convince you. I already know you wouldn't decide on someone's status based solely on appearance and clothing. I'm trying to convince Sebastian, who is a walking stereotype of a douche Dom."
Blaine relaxed a bit, shaking his head.
"I have such a scheming Sub."
"Admit it – you like that about me." Kurt jabbed his index finger at his Dom's chest teasingly. "How boring it would be for you without my wicked plans?"
"Very monotonous now that I know about your evil mastermind aspirations." He took over Kurt's hand from his chest to kiss it.
"Blaine…" Kurt felt heat blossoming in his stomach as he felt the soft lips on his knuckles. "Are we going to do what I think we are?"
"That depends on how dirty your thoughts are." Blaine paused for a moment. "If you're not in the mood just say so."
"I am very much in the mood, especially after last, but Blaine…" Kurt felt himself leaning into the touch. "We need to leave for work soon, and I still need to change into this pastel nightmare."
"Don't worry – we won't be late."
They were very late for work. Sue gave Kurt a few boxes of useless paperwork to fill out as a punishment so he could not see Blaine during lunch. Kurt checked the time and realized that he had to hurry if he wanted to have a 'chance' meeting with Sebastian that day. He wasn't about to repeat wearing that outfit combination the next day, no thanks.
As Kurt entered the AdultToy department, Nick was the first one to notice him wearing his necklace outside his shirt. The older Sub whistled respectfully.
"I feel bad for even thinking this, but I'm somewhat glad you're doing it because it will give the rest of us a break from Sebastian. Have you planned how exactly how you want to clue him in?"
Kurt's face bloomed with a deep red blush.
"Kind of… Not really. I wanted to, but Blaine distracted me."
Nick snickered knowingly. "Listen, about yesterday – thanks again. I feel relaxed today for once - enough to ignore Sebastian's bullshit most of the time."
"Still – it's not right for him to do it. I feel bad that we didn't just tell Blaine earlier."
"You wouldn't say that if you'd seen how busy Blaine currently is – a stupid complaint like this is a lot of paperwork and investigation, and that would mean your Dom would never manage to leave this building until late in the night. Let's just hope that Sebastian finding out about you will embarrass him enough to think twice before acting like an ass. Speaking of the devil…" Nick whirled his chair to sit with his back to the door as Smythe walked through it into the studio. "Good luck."
Here it goes…
Kurt inhaled sharply and pressed his lips into a tight line. His eyes followed Sebastian as the man strode through the department as if the place belonged to him. His path created by the desks inevitably led him to where Kurt stood.
"Hel-" The Sub started, but the rest of his greeting was slapped out of him with a sudden friendly shove from Sebastian.
"Hi, man!" The Dom bellowed. "Well, you look like someone chewed you and spat out. Don't tell me…" Smythe squinted and looked at Kurt closely.
The Sub braced himself and-
"These are definitely not your clothes… did you oversleep after a hook-up with a Sub and had to borrow his clothes? Man, he must've been an innocent twink. Don't you worry," he clapped Kurt on his shoulder again. "It happens to me all the time. You know what? As soon as I find a next fun Sub, I'll push him your way afterwards. Just remember to have a change of clothes for afterwards." Sebastian winked conspiratorially.
Kurt gaped as the insufferable Dom walked away, definitely going to Blaine's office – most likely to bother him for entertainment rather than discuss anything work-related.
"Oh. My. God." The Sub finally said. "Did he just… I can't believe…"
Nick shook his head, laughing silently. Kurt had to agree that Sebastian's obliviousness was ridiculous. Also, Sebastian borrowing some Sub's clothes after a one night stand? Kurt shuddered at the travesty of wearing someone else's clothes. Unless they were Blaine's clothes…
"Do you have a plan B?" Nick interrupted, mockingly brushing an imaginary tear from his eye.
"More like plan BJ," Kurt joked. "But I'm not sure he'd get it even then."
"Wait… on him?"
"God no," Kurt made a disgusted face. "I had this elaborate plan on Smythe walking on Blaine and me in his office."
Nick grinned "Sweet. Let me know when, so I can let your fans know there is finally something naughty happening in AdultToy. They will want to take pictures."
"Ugh, no way… wait, I have fans?!"
"You and Blaine have fans," Nick corrected with a smirk. "I wouldn't be surprised if someone was crazy enough to make an altar for worshipping you two in one of the storerooms."
Kurt thought for a moment, slowly blinking to process that little titbit. "Seriously, Nick? So practically the whole BellCorp knows Blaine and I have a relationship, but Sebastian still hasn't noticed? This really will be harder than I thought…"
