AN: Discussions ahead!

The Fight Part Six

Tuesday came before Kurt was ready for it. He had cooled down quite a bit since the incident and while he didn't think he had overreacted, he had mostly forgiven Blaine already and just wanted to go see him. The two hadn't spent the night apart in a long while.

Blaine was sitting in the living room when Kurt unlocked the door and walked in. "Kurt." Blaine breathed out, both smiling and tearing up as Kurt came in the room.

"Blaine." Kurt nodded, giving him a smile. He crossed the room quickly and pulled Blaine into a hug, both of them melting a bit in the other's arms.

"I missed you." Blaine whispered after soaking in the hug.

"I missed you too." Kurt said quietly back, giving Blaine a squeeze before letting go and sitting down on the couch. He patted the seat next to him. "We should talk."

Blaine sat down and began speaking. "I'm so sorry-"

"Not yet." Kurt interrupted. "I need to speak and you need to listen this time. You know what you did wrong and I know you're sorry for it. You shouldn't have done it but mistakes are made and that's what happened. A mistake brought on by stress and just lack of communication. I get that. Believe me, with how often I go off the rails, I get that."

Blaine chuckled a bit at that, grabbing Kurt's hand and squeezing reassuringly as he took a deep breath. "But just because I get it doesn't mean you're excused. If I said something bratty to you out of stress, what would your reaction be?"

Blaine bit his lip, hoping Kurt wasn't going where he thought he was. "I'd probably spank you."

"No probably about it. You would spank me because that's what we've agreed on as an acceptable punishment for me being a brat. Right?" Kurt refused to let Blaine hedge around the question.

"Right." Blaine agreed.

"But we don't have an agreement for when you start acting like an entitled dictator. And I think that's a problem we should have solved a long time ago." Kurt paused here to let Blaine comment.

Blaine huffed at that. "Entitled dictator. That's new." At Kurt's look, he raised his hands up in defense. "But deserved. I know, I know."

At Kurt's continued silence, Blaine sighed and looked down. "So what are you suggesting, Kurt?"

"I'm suggesting equal reciprocation for broken rules." Kurt said simply.

Blain thought about that for a moment before speaking. "Could you clarify?"

Kurt broke for the first time this conversation and blushed. "I mean, if you break a rule, I should punish you for it."

Blaine rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I don't-I don't need it though. Not the same way you do."

Kurt grimaced a bit at that. "Yeah, I know. But there are times that I think it's necessary for us to get back on track. It doesn't happen often but sometimes you cross the line and it's always an issue for us to decide how to respond to it."

Blaine thought back to himself about some of the instances Kurt was referring to and couldn't help but agree with him. The times he had come home late without calling or had been excessively rude to Kurt and Kurt had called him out on it but hadn't really known how to respond came to mind. "So how do you propose we respond to it?"

Kurt sighed in relief, glad Blaine could at least see why Kurt felt there was a need for this. "I was thinking we could draw up a short list of rules for you along with pre-set consequences. I'm not as comfortable deciding that as you are so I'd rather we decide in advance so it's not on me completely."

Blaine nodded. "That sounds fair. But that doesn't cover this time. What do you want to do about it?"

Kurt twisted his hands together, nervously bouncing his leg. "I thought about it a lot. And I think it's fair if...if I spank you."

Blaine took a breath at that, looking down at his lap. He bit his lip for a bit, thinking on that before looking up. "Are-are you sure?"

"I think it's fair." Kurt replied quietly.

Blaine nodded. "No, I agree it's fair. But are you sure you can do that? It's not exactly easy being on the other end of it."

Kurt sighed. "That makes it even more fair that I do it. So I know what I put you through whenever I break the rules."

AN: There's some of their talking. There's more to come I'm sure. Update again Monday? Sorry it's short but I'm gearing up for a project and it's been a bit of a time sucker.
