Blood, Lust and Magic
Blood Chapter Fifty Five
The tall man who is not a boy has finished the book and he had been allowed to press all the buttons that make noises.
Stretching the man looks at him, "Right, well, you had a nice story, are you ready for a nap?"
He is tried.
But Master is in the other room where they ate.
The man gets up and goes to a thing that holds other things and makes the thing rustle, "Got it," the man says and comes back holding something, "Here you go little dude, hey I just realised, you can't yell at me for calling you dude anymore."
The man who is not a boy puts something soft and squishy in his hands, then the tall man holds up the book again, "See, it's a little cuddly rabbit."
The thing looks a little like the thing called a rabbit in the book. The man has given him something, the man has given him a gift. He does not know what to do now. Does the man want sex with him? He is sure in the Before the man did not want that from him.
But the man is a magic user. He is not like Master or Master's Empath ally. He is like the strange other that put the tingly tingles on him when the bad other tried to steal him from Master. Perhaps the man wants some of his power? All the man has to do is ask Master and Master can tell him yes or no.
"I thought we could call him Thumper, like in Bambi, I know the you, you used to be, used to like Disney," the man squeezes the middle of the thing and it squeaks, "See, Thumper likes you."
The man puts an arm around him and pulls him close, "There, you cuddle Thumper, and I'll cuddle you," the man yawns and he can feel the man is very very tired.
Now the man is asleep. The man is warm. Master is calm in the other room. He yawns and decides to wait for Master. His eyes are heavy.
A change from Kurt and Dave turns his head with a grin, "He's asleep," he tells everyone.
No one can resist sneaking up to the doorway and peeking. Finn and Kurt were still sitting next to one another, but Finn has his head back and is snoring softly, his arm around Kurt. And Kurt's holding a really cute little bunny teddy bear thing, his head resting on Finn's arm and slightly to one side on Finn's chest.
A flash of light and Santana's checking the picture she's taken, "I'll put it online when I get home tonight," she whispers and they all creep back to their seats.
"Finn's idea of you both coming to visit us on a Sunday might be a good idea," Burt says.
"I…" Dave's not sure, "Sir, I really don't know how Kurt's going to react, I won't promise, but we can try?"
The man nods, "Of course," and then his face softens, "What's he been up to?"
'Tana butts into the conversation and between them they tell Burt and Carole about Kurt's little steps back to normalcy. Everything's going well until Santana says, "Yeah the housekeeping staff where unhappy with Davie boo when Kurt decided to go through the cupboards looking for a sheet to wrap them both up in, since Lazy McLump here was sleeping it off."
"Sleeping what off?" Carole asks and Dave freezes wanting to throttle Santana.
He tries to kick her under the table and thinks hard at her so she'll shut the fuck up instead she babbles on, "Oh you know the afterglow of…" Now she's frecking caught on and Dave wants to face palm so badly.
Eyeing up the doors he starts planning his mad dash to grab Kurt and then maybe he can crash through the windows, he has enough power to stop the glass injuring them, then he can flee for the Boarder, Canada would be best, change their names and go live in a cave somewhere it'll take Burt years to find them.
Sighing he owns up, "Err, the physio table that Kurt uses measures all kinds of things, and this is rare in a Broken, so it was a surprise when it found it," he beats around the bush trying to work out how to tell Burt this and then just goes for it, "And it measured something that was causing stress to Kurt. Because Kurt still has a sex drive, so he needs certain things to help him relieve any build up of pressures inside of him."
Silence and Burt's giving him a look he's sure means it won't be long until he's dodging buck shot from the shotgun that'll be aimed at him, "Uh-huh," is all he gets back.
Certain he's digging himself in deeper Dave carries on regardless, "And the doctors and even one of the Specials talked to me so I tried, um, that is," how the fuck was he supposed to word this so he didn't die and he can feel his face flushing bright red, oh for Christ sake he's not a kid anymore. "And now I give Kurt hand jobs," that could have gone better.
"Hand jobs," Burt's face has closed down and he's scowling.
"Yes sir," Dave falls back on politeness and tries to remember that he has magic now, so the chances of him dying just plummeted.
"Mr H," Santana's stepping up and Dave just wants her to leave it alone, she normally makes things worse. "I've seen Dave's memories, and I've caught the edges of Kurt's emotions to Dave, and Kurt really does ask for Dave to do that for him, to help him relieve those pressures. To the point that Kurt hasn't quite pressurised Dave but he's not that far off it."
That makes Burt and Dave blink, "He's not that bad," Dave protests.
"Really?" Santana lifts an eyebrow at him, "Because he's not that far off either Dave, and you've mentioned that if you slip for a second and think about sex he picks it up damn quickly and goes on about it for hours. Also he's not given up wanting full penetration from you, I knew the old Kurt and there are hints of him in this new one, he won't let this go he'll keep it up until you give in to him or get him to change his mind about what he wants."
Leaning forward she pats his arm, "Dave you're a natural bottom, you prefer it, and I don't know about his previous relationship with Blaine but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Kurt was a natural top. Kurt's only known rape for six years."
Horrified at what she might be implying he pulls back from her, "You're wrong, Kurt would never do that..."
"The old Kurt would never do that," She corrects, "But then the old Kurt wouldn't have thought about putting Crystal in a cage either," sighing she rubs her face, "Just, be careful Dave."
"What's this about Crystal?" Burt asks.
Dave leaves Santana to explain about what happened and Kurt's reply to Crystal and to Trixie. God he wishes Burt never had to listen to this, that he could just have his son back.
"So you're saying this process of Breaking Kurt and keeping him there for six years means he doesn't understand what 'no' means anymore," And that's a very delicate way of putting it.
"Correct," Rip leans forward. "Kurt's been taught that he's not allowed to say no, that he has no choice in the matter, but from what we've observed, Dave's giving him those choices again, only Kurt might not do the same for Dave. The only thing that could save Dave is the bond, they're literally forced to experience what the other does, so neither of them could lightly or easily hurt the other."
"That means," Carole muses, "Kurt's as smart as an adult, in an adult body with adult needs, and the mental age of a young child with none of the restraints."
"Yes," Rip confirms.
"So Dave needs to teach him right from wrong again," and Carole makes it sound so damn simple.
A/N: Sorry for any and all mistakes, I've tried to catch those I could, but I'm only human.
