AN: To address the common concern from the last chapter, Blaine doesn't bring as many ideas to the relationship anymore. He stopped after they moved in together. Kurt largely has been the one coming up with new stuff for the past five years of their relationship.
The Fight Part Five
After Blaine's plea for help, he buried his face in his hands and seemed to take a moment to collect himself, breath shaky. Alex gave him a moment before speaking again. "I was talking to Kurt earlier and he told me some things about your relationship. Do you really not bring anything new to your dynamic?"
Blaine looked confusedly at Alex. "What do you mean?"
"Kurt mentioned that he's the one who comes up with new ideas and does research for how the relationship can go. Do you not do that?" Alex asked.
Blaine rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "That's not entirely true. I mean, it's been a while since I told Kurt about any of the things I've found but I still do occasionally research."
Alex nodded. "Have you found anything that you like that you would want to add to the relationship?"
Blaine shrugged. "There's some stuff that's interesting but I'm happy with how we are."
"That's not an answer. Do you want to make changes to your relationship?" Alex pressed.
Blaine sighed. "Yes. Sometimes. But I'm totally fine with staying the way we are."
Alex reached out and slapped the back of Blaine's head gently. "It's okay to want change. In our type of relationships especially, we grow a lot and we end up with different wants and needs. And it is your responsibility as the dom to bring it up with your sub. You know Kurt thinks he's the only one in your relationship that is actively trying to improve it right?"
"What?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah. He thinks you have stopped researching and that you are too afraid to make any changes since 'it's all for him'." Alex made finger quotes around Kurt's part.
"That's not-I mean, I guess I can see where he would get that idea. But what does that have to do with my mistake here?" Blaine asked, trying to get the subject back under control.
Alex explained. "The mistake that was made here is a failure to communicate properly and it seems to me that it's not the only time you've had that issue. So it's relevant. You need to talk openly and honestly with Kurt. He won't do it with you if you don't do it with him and in this relationship, communication is the most important thing. And you need to realize that it's okay for you to want things and to ask about them. As long as you aren't demanding something and then threatening punishment, you can ask for things."
Blaine blushed. "It doesn't matter. Kurt's never going to forgive me for this. I did the same thing once in high school and it's a miracle he forgave me then."
Alex smirked. "Oh, I think he'll forgive you. You're just going to have to work for it."
Blaine looked questioningly at Alex. "What does that mean?"
Alex shook his head. "I'll leave that to Kurt to tell you. He'll be coming back on Tuesday. Until he does, I want you to think about communicating more with him. It's okay to have things you want. Just tell him about them."
Alex made his way to the door with those words, knowing he had left Blaine with quite a bit to think about. And to worry about, he laughed to himself as he walked out, thinking about how shocked Blaine was going to be when Kurt told him what he had decided on for his punishment.
Meanwhile, Kurt had returned to the guest room to find Matthew waiting for him on his bed. "So you're going to spank your dom, huh?"
Kurt blushed. "Matthew! That was a private conversation."
Matthew waved that away, eyes shining with laughter. "Do you really think you have it in you to spank him?"
Kurt flopped onto the bed and buried his face in his hands, groaning. "Do we have to talk about this?"
Matthew stopped teasing for a bit, reaching over to poke him in the side. "If you can't talk about it, do you really think you'll be able to do it when the time comes?"
Kurt turned his head to face Matthew, pouting. "Why do you have to make sense?"
"To irritate you." Matthew teased, laughing when Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Have you ever...well, you know?" Kurt asked after Matthew stopped laughing.
"You'll need to be more specific than that."
Kurt sighed. "Have you ever spanked someone?"
Matthew grinned. "Yeah. Never a dom though. I was in a scene once and the dom running it had me spank another sub. It was an experience."
Kurt was a bit intrigued despite himself. "Was it hard? Did it feel weird? What was it like?"
"It was a bit weird but it helped a bit that I was ordered to do it and wasn't just doing it myself. The actual act itself is pretty easy but this was a pleasure spanking. I'm not sure how a punishment spanking would have gone." Matthew answered, trying to satisfy Kurt and his questions.
"So basically it was the complete opposite of what I'm going to be attempting with Blaine?" Kurt asked, groaning a bit.
Matthew shrugged. "Basically. But I've heard from other subs that they've punished their doms and it works out okay. Doms aren't as strong as us subs so they don't need as much punishment to feel it."
"Blaine is pretty strong." Kurt defended.
"Yeah but when was the last time he got spanked? Brats like you and me are a lot tougher than our doms when it comes to taking a spanking. We build up callouses from all the spankings." Matthew grinned teasingly.
"I don't know what's on your ass but mine doesn't have any callouses." Kurt teased back.
"Oh yeah? Let's see the proof." Matthew reached over as if to check out Kurt's butt.
Kurt moved away and grabbed a pillow, whacking Matthew with it. "Keep those hands to yourself."
Matthew grinned and picked up the other pillow from the bed, raising it threateningly. "Oh, it's on now."
Kurt ducked the pillow swipe and backed out of the room, turning to run as Matthew charged forward. A few blows were exchanged before the door opened and Alex walked in. He sighed when he saw the two of them standing in the room, disheveled with pillows in hand.
"Matthew." He pointed to the floor in front of him.
Matthew went over sheepishly, giving Alex a smile. "Hi."
"What have I said about pillow fights before?" Alex asked, crossing his arms to gaze sternly at Matthew. Kurt bit his lip, wondering if he had gotten his friend in trouble.
"No pillow fights in the apartment." Matthew started, adding with a grin. "Unless you're home and properly armed."
He handed Alex his pillow and grabbed another from the couch, quickly hitting Alex on the side of the head and moving away. Kurt stared surprised for a moment before laughing as Alex charged after Matthew, quickly restarting the pillow fight. He would ask Alex how the meeting with Blaine went later. For now, he needed to defend himself against the other two.
AN: Next update will be Thursday or Friday. Review please.
