A/N: I have a new tattoo! *happy dance* I'm so addicted to them (I have four already and I've only been 18 for 8 months). If you want to see it pop on over to my Tumblr (warblepuff) and go back a bit and you'll find a picture. For those who can't be bothered, I got "a lot like lightning" down my right side. And yes it is from the trailer for Struck By Lightning (Sue me for being a ridiculous fangirl). I also got a tongue piercing and when I talk I sound ridiculous ... I'll be glad when the swelling goes down.
Prompted by Me (because I like to prompt myself): Superheroes
It's short because it's midnight and I'm trying to stay awake (and failing a little) while waiting for Glee. Kurt's favourite superhero was suggested by, as always, Jammy.
"Batman?" Blaine said flatly, one eyebrow arched. "Batman's your favourite?"
Kurt crossed his arms with a huff and angrily flopped back against the headboard, glaring down at his lap. "What's wrong with Batman?"
"Nothing," Blaine replied, hands raised defensively. "Just… not what I expected."
"What did you expect?" Kurt scoffed. "Superman? Because that's ridiculously unoriginal. He's everyone's favourite." Blaine rubbed at the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly and Kurt rolled his eyes. "He's your favourite isn't he?"
Blaine shrugged one shoulder. "He's one of the most famous superheroes of all time. He's tall, handsome, strong, leads a double life-"
"Batman does all that too!" Kurt interrupted, throwing his arms up in exasperation and knocking his head against the headboard with a resounding thud.
Blaine folded his hands in his lap and eyed Kurt curiously. "Considering I practically had to beg you to talk about superheroes after claiming 'They're not your thing,' I'm assuming you've either changed your mind, which is unlikely, or there's something else going on here."
Kurt sighed and looked back at Blaine, head cocked to the side. "Other than you being totally cliché and being in love with Superman?"
"Kurt," Blaine said firmly.
Kurt sighed again. "Superman's just so… " he waved his hands around in thought, "super."
Blaine snorted. "Well, yeah. His name is Superman."
"Exactly," Kurt said as if what he was saying was obvious. Blaine shook his head and Kurt leant forward, elbows on his knees. "Superman is more super than man. Batman is more man than bat." Blaine was still looking at Kurt with a confused expression and Kurt rubbed a hand over his face before continuing. "Batman's human. He's easy to relate to. He bruises, bleeds and breaks and still gets up to fight the next day."
Blaine felt a lump rise in his throat and he took Kurt's fidgeting hands in his own, got onto his knees and shuffled forwards on the bed into Kurt's space. Kurt uncrossed his legs and spread them so Blaine could come between them and Blaine did just that, cupping Kurt's face in his hands once settled. Kurt was blinking up at him and biting his lip. "He's you," Blaine said quietly, earnestly and Kurt sagged a little.
"Not really, but," Blaine pressed a kiss to his forehead, "I get it. I get him." Kurt curled his fingers around Blaine's wrists and ran his hands up down Blaine's forearms, smiling up at him a little. "He can't stop on account of some bruises and cuts."
"It didn't stop you either," Blaine said, swiping a thumb over Kurt's cheekbone. "My very own Batman."
Kurt laughed through his nose and pulled Blaine's arms around his neck and buried his face in Blaine's neck, stretching his arms to wrap around what he could reach of Blaine's waist. "Wouldn't you prefer Superman?"
"Changed my mind," Blaine said, nuzzling into Kurt's hair. "You're my favourite."
Review? *Blaine's puppy dog eyes*
