New chapter

Fully Invested

Kurt pulled into his parking spot and turned off the engine. Blaine had fallen asleep in the passenger seat after habitually rubbing at his new his collar. Kurt had watched his movements and found it endearing that Blaine obviously found comfort in rubbing his fingertips over the precious metal. If Kurt hadn't needed to concentrate on driving he would of found himself fingering over it in the same way. It was an entrancing thing; The feeling of ownership the collar provided, not only to Blaine, but to Kurt.

For Kurt, It wasn't an over the top possessive feeling he had always assumed Dom's had for their Subs. It was a much softer endearing feeling. Being needed by Blaine drove Kurt to want to be everything for him. He generated a strong desire to protect and care for Blaine and to keep him close. Kurt felt intoxicated by Blaine's mere presence. It was like every other important thing in Kurt's life now held less importance in contrast to Blaine. Was it normal to feel this way?

Kurt already planned to start researching more about all this. Something inside him was nagging at him. He couldn't believe this was what all Dominates felt toward their Submissives. Could the intensity they were feeling be only because of the recollaring ritual? Kurt thought that that might be playing apart, especially because of the earlier than suggested recollaring of Blaine. But there was more. Something bigger. Something that had shaken Kurt to the core.

Kurt intended to discuss all this with Blaine. He had intended on having a slightly different conversation with Blaine from the beginning. Had intended on having it soon after purchasing Blaine. But then all of these unexpected feelings emerged. The originally planned conversion would of been quite, quite different.

Kurt was still planning on telling Blaine about what had brought him there. That it was because of the enormous plight Blaine's prep school friends had initiated. They had even gotten the media involved. They had been actively trying to raise the funds to purchase two of their group members from the Sub house.

It was unorthodox to consider a group of boys purchasing a sub, and very ambitious to consider buying, not just one, but two Subs. When Kurt ran across their story he had become intrigued right away and the more he followed the story the more he knew he needed to help. In one of the articles, they had explained how one of the boys, Jeff, had been in a serious relationship with one of the other boys who had been labeled and taken into Sub training. That boys name was Nick. The article had supplied thorough profiles about the friends, especially Nick and Jeff's. It had touched Kurt's heart to read about the lovers. Then Kurt had read they were not only trying to purchase Nick back for Jeff, but also their other mutual friend, Blaine Devon Anderson. The group of friends had invested their savings into buying the two. Submissives don't come cheep and can be auctioned up to a very high in price, so they'd been collecting donations. There wasn't much the media concentrated on concerning Blaine, but kept there stories mostly about the two star crossed lovers. They reported on Nick, showing a general portfolio of his school achievements and many photos of him taken mostly at Dalton. A half a dozen different pictures had included Blaine were they had talked about the boys from Dalton. The whole thing had become quite the talk, especially within the gay community; How this kid named Jeff and his friends were campaigning the streets for help in purchasing his lover and another of their friends. To Kurt's disappointment the only pictures they shared of Blaine were pictures where he just happened to be in with Nick or Jeff. Most of them depicting them in their Dalton uniforms. Some of them during their performances or posing for a group photo. One of them had been of all them hanging around on campus. All the reports were mostly of Nick and Jeff, geared towards "Neff's" young love affair. There hadn't been much fan fair about Blaine. Kurt had followed the story for the first few months when he became further interested in finding out more about the other Sub, Blaine Anderson. He reached out to the group of Dalton boys, by email, and shortly thereafter heard back. They shared their thanks with Kurt and answered his questions. They shared in their frustration that little was being shared about Blaine. He had been almost completely left out of many of the stories. Kurt had thought the boys to be a very sincere and caring bunch. Most of the monies donated were solely given for the purchase of Nick to his boyfriend, Jeff. There had been considerably less public interest in donating to the purchase of Blaine. Kurt had continued correspondence with the group and the more he learned the more he wanted to help. Kurt had been very impressed by the group and what more he had learned about Blaine. Close to six months, after the start of their correspondence, Kurt had made up his mind to become fully invested in helping them.

Kurt rubbed his hand over his forehead and sighed thinking about what he'd tell Blaine's friends. The same friends he'd been befriending for the last six months, about this new development. He didn't want them to think he'd taken advantage of the situation and purposely used his unsolicited title- his new position, to do anything to Blaine that could be construed as hurtful, or wrong. It wasn't wrong tough. It definitely felt right, but will anyone else in Kurt's life feel that way? Will Thad, Jeff, Wes and the other Warblers think Kurt helped them only to get his hands on Blaine- To take Blaine as his own? He thought about what Blaine and he had shared up until then and blushed. The bonding was inevitable. Kurt hadn't had a choice, the pull to strong for him to fight. Oh my Gawd!, What had he gotten himself into? He hoped all this would work itself out and that all the people he cared for, and the people who cared about Blaine could come to understand. He took a deep breath and reached his hand out placing it on Blaine's covered knee. If his dad could see him now, sitting with a boy, a boy he now owned, in his car with only a blanket covering his very fine, but very naked body. Kurt's blush deepened.

Blaine began to stir, probably from the chill in the car that had been sitting idle with the heater shut off for awhile now. Kurt hadn't planned on sitting there as long as he had, lost in thought. He let that all go now, becoming directly attentive to Blaine. He looked down on him, laying there, and leaned over placing a light peck on his cheek. It felt a chilled so Kurt kicked himself into gear, not wanting to freeze cold his sub the first morning of owning him. He noticed then his own breath in the air and inwardly cursed himself for sitting in the car for so long. He grabbed for a jacket he kept in the back seat and wrapped it around Blaine. It woke him and he looked a bit disoriented at first. He stretched a little and took in his surroundings He had not only the blanket draped over him, a a nice down jacket had been placed over him. Kurt must of placed it there. Blaine smiled. It made him feel very content to realize he'd been cared for as he slept. After some time, Blaine fully woke and they found each other's eyes. "You ok?" Kurt asks.

"I'm good, Master. Thank you." Kurt rubbed his hand at Blaine's knee, hoping that it would help warm him. "We're home. Been home actually; sorry I let it get so cold in the car. I was letting you sleep and I lost track of the time." By then it was bright and sunny out but with a real chill in the air. Kurt parked his car in the driveway because his garage was full of a friends stuff he's been holding on to until they finalize the paperwork on a new place. "Sorry about having to park outside. Garage is full." Blaine nodded "no problem, Master. I'm use to the cold, and sleeping naked; Being naked all the time actually." Blaine admitted . Kurt realized that's probably the most words Blaine had strung together at one time since the poetry composing stupor upon meeting." He felt bad for leaving Blaine unclothed for their ride, blanket and all. He hoped he wasn't sending the wrong message that he expected Blaine to walk around naked for him. He decided then and there he'd give Blaine his boxer briefs before he walk him out of the car and up the walk to the front door. He began unbuttoning his pants. Blaine eyes dilated and stared. "I want you to wear these, Blaine." Blaine blinked and looked back at Kurt confused. "Ok Sir, but I'm pretty sure they'll just fall off, they're awful big for me, not to mention long." Kurt realized Blaine thought he meant his pants. He chuckled at him. Blaine was small, far to thin to be healthy. That was one of the first things Kurt would be working with him on. "No silly, I mean these." Kurt had already removed his pants and was grabbing at the waistband on his briefs. "They should work alright with the tighter waistband and all. We can't have you redressing in your creamed covered sub house pants, now can we?" Blaine ducks his head "I suppose not, Sir." So, they both agreed that he would wear Kurt's boxers and Blaine moved the blanket to slip them on. They seemed to work alright, still big, but it wasn't like Kurt was all that big either. Kurt then teased Blaine that he only supplied the absolute best for his Sub after Blaine put them one. They seemed to work alright, they still fit large, but it wasn't like Kurt was all that big either. Kurt stared and Blaine blushed then commented that at least they were high end designer boxer briefs. They laughed and Kurt couldn't keep from smiling at Blaine sitting there in his underwear. "Now put the jacket on and I'll come get you." Kurt walked the distance around his car and then up the walk, with Blaine, commando. With his arm wrapped around him, keeping him warm.

Blaine took in Kurt's large foyer. It was very nice. There was a coat closet just to his right and Kurt stood, holding his hand, at his left. Kurt had taken Blaine's hand right after entering his home. Concerned about his comfort he told Blaine to leave the coat on for now until he can fetch Blaine some clothes from upstairs.

"Would some sweats and a T-shirt be okay?" He asked. He lead Blaine ahead into a large open space that connects the living room and very large, open kitchen.

"Wow!" Blaine couldn't help exclaim "This is so nice." It was beautifully decorated and the floor plan was open and airy. Blaine imagined, for just a second, a baby grand piano in the space with plenty of room to spare. Then another thought, that it was large enough for a good size sub cage if Kurt chose to house him in this area of his home. He tore his attention away to look at Kurt, who had stepped directly in front of him, blocking his view. He wanted to know if sweats and tshirt sounded ok to Blaine. So, he asked him again. Blaine's comfort was his first priority, after all. He waited for Blaine's approval, then waited a bit longer, but Blaine didn't answer his question concerning the clothes.

Blaine cleared his throat and blushed under Kurt's scrutiny. Blaine had been shocked that he'd, not only been given a choice, but that Kurt seemed sincere in his offer to keep him clothed, even there, in the privacy of Kurt's home. Blaine's eye darted back and forth as he searched Kurt's face then fell to the floor. Kurt sensed his Sub's inner turmoil and his heart went out to him.

"Blaine, there's no wrong answer." He stepped closer and touched two fingers under Blaine's chin raising it up to regain eye contact. "I can't pretend to understand how overwhelming all this is for you, but please know I'm not going to try to trick you in anyway. When I offer you something it's because I'm genuinely offering it to you. If I ask for you opinion it's because I truly want to know it. I want to know your wishes and what makes you most comfortable." Blaine blinked slowly and continued looking back at Kurt, who was still keeping his chin up, making it hard to nod, but Kurt felt Blaine's small attempt against his fingers. Kurt nodded back at Blaine and told him he wanted to know what he was thinking and then he waited until Blaine was ready to tell him.

"Thank you, Sir"

(long pause)

"For everything you've done and for everything you've offered me.

(Big breath)

"And for being so kind, and um, loving towards me." He said the last part softer than the rest, but Kurt still caught it.

Kurt smiled sweetly and dipped his head slightly.

"Sweats and a t-shirt sound perfect."

Kurt squeezed Blaine's hand lightly. He thanked him for answering him. He pulled lightly on Blaine's arm to get him walking and the two climbed up the stairs to the second level.

The home was just as beautifully decorated on the second level and Blaine was fascinated by the amazing artwork hanging on the walls in the hall. He could tell there had been lots of care taken and plenty of attention to detail in the decor of Kurt's home. Kurt lead Blaine into a bedroom on the right. He made a large display with his arms and a twirl. His grand gesture of introducing Blaine to his immaculately tidy bedroom.

"Blaine Devon Anderson, please meet my bedroom." Kurt winked "This is where the magic happens." He kidded and nudged Blaine in the side. Blaine watched Kurt flair out his arms and twirl around the room once more.

'Omg, this man is so endearing' Blaine thought and chuckled at Kurt. He tore his eyes away from a hugely smiling Kurt to take in the room. It was full of natural light streaming in from the large patio doors that were left of largest bed Blaine had ever seen. It was decorated with so many pillows of different shades of blue, that all complimented each other, with an exquisite bed comforter underneath. There was a painting over the headboard that was nothing short of amazing. It was absolutely breathtaking and Blaine was drawn to it immediately, walking slowly towards it, taking the details of it in.

"This painting is fantastic!" Blaine told Kurt, in awe. Kurt stepped up next to Blaine

"Thank you." They both admire the soft brush strokes of mixed blues and whites that melted into soft tans and browns. "I bought it from an inspiring artist at an art show." Blaine hummed his understanding as he reached up and traced a line in the air over the brush strokes in the painting.

"The blending of colors here is exquisite." He finished his sweeping movement upward then followed it back down again, admiring the artist brush work on the canvas. Kurt admired Blaine's profile admiring his painting. Kurt had known from the first time he saw the painting that there was something special about it. Then, standing there watching Blaine discover the same was intoxicating. He was so pleased that Blaine appeared to appreciate the details as he did and it reaffirmed what he'd been feeling since discovering Blaine.

They complimented each other so completely. He looked forward to discovering all the many ways and all the many things about Blaine that were undoubtably going to complete Kurt. It was easy to watch Blaine standing there, in his room, as if he should have always been there. And should stay forever. And never leave. Ever.

The thought of Blaine not staying with him made Kurt cringe and fight against the mere idea. Kurt wanted to share all he had, and all he was with Blaine. He knew he had to eventually address everything with him. He needed to fill Blaine in on how Kurt had been eager to help his friends in their plight to purchase him and Nick. But for some reason he was having a hard time telling him. He took another moment to admire Blaine who was in awe over the painting. The wonder of this boy just kept getting better and better. Kurt was not looking to leave the bedroom with Blaine anytime soon. What he wanted to do was to reward Blaine for his astuteness in recognizing the intricacies of the art piece. He wanted to thank Blaine for making him feel that good. He was amazed and shocked and overwhelmed all simultaneously, in the best way possible.

He wanted to lay him down under the painting,

and make some art of their own.

With their bodies.

In unison.

Blaine felt Kurt's eyes on him and when he looked back over his shoulder at Kurt, he blushed. There was desire radiating off of Kurt. Blaine's knees parted, started to wobble and bend. Before he could hit the floor, Kurt caught him from under his arms. He held him up and braced him with his strong arms. He realized quickly he was the one supporting all of Blaine's weight. Blaine sagged forward onto his chest and Kurt struggled to get him upright.

"Oh jeez Blaine, come on sweet boy." He pushed up under his arms a little more forcefully and succeeded in righting Blaine.

Blaine reluctantly regained his footing and stood, still wobbly in front of Kurt.

"Master...?"

Blaine's eyes sparkled with his own desire, and his submission towards Kurt oozed out from his entire demeanor. Kurt was seconds away from throwing out any other thought and taking Blaine right then and there. He fought against it, though and told Blaine to sit down on the bed. Blaine obeyed. Kurt took a few steps back after he was sure Blaine wasn't going to swan dive himself into a kneel.

"Blaine?"

Blaine's eyes darted upward and Kurt could tell how quizzical they were as they searched his face.

"Give me a second, I'm going to explain..." Kurt breathed out as he tried to determine how to get Blaine to understand that it wasn't a rejection. He noticed a small pout form on Blaine's lips as he waited for him to continue. This made Kurt's heart hurt and he inwardly chastised himself for causing Blaine any pain or confusion.

Kurt decided that they needed to talk first before they were intimate with each other again. There was so much more to the dynamic of their Dom/Sub relationship than any other type of relationship Kurt had ever been in. He felt strongly that he should make sure Blaine was okay and that he was going about things with him the right way. He knew there were things he was supposed to be doing during that time- The pivotal time after recollaring Blaine. He was to help him through the intense feelings he has had to endure and may be experiencing then. Kurt needed to explain to Blaine how ill prepared he was and beg for his patience.

Blaine wrung his hands together as he examined Kurt's expression. The longer Kurt took, the more Blaine questioned what he did wrong. As if on cue Kurt said "I want you to know you haven't done anything wrong. It's just that I really want to talk with you first. I need to hear your thoughts on somethings and there's things I really want to tell you. Please believe me, I'm very taken with you, Blaine. I want to reward you right now by dominating you just as much as I can feel you want to submit to me. I could easily give in and let this flow naturally between us again, to be taken over by it. We are obviously very attracted to each other and I don't just mean physically. It's like somehow my heart already knew you. The more I spend with you, the more I'm taken a back by how perfectly suited you are for me. Because of all these reasons, and more, I think we should learn more about each other and each other's needs and expectations. Like I said, the more I discover about you, the more I'm amazed at how you can be everything I've ever wanted and so much more than I ever knew I needed."

Kurt stopped speaking when he saw Blaine's pout soften and slowly turn upward, into a bright smile, framed by very pink cheeks. Blaine shrugged embarrassingly.

"I understand, Sir and um, and ... I thank you." He dipped his head "And I feel very much...um, the same way about you."

It was Kurt's turn to smile brightly.

"That's good, Blaine and I'm glad you'd like to talk too. Now, you can wear these." Kurt held up a pair of sweats and a T-shirt. "I'm going to put them here, at the end of the bed and I'm going to go downstairs and wait for you in the kitchen." They hold each other's eye contact for a bit before Kurt points to the door. "I'm going to um, go now. Get dressed and come down. I'll start on some food."

Blaine agreed with another smile and a nod.

"Sure thing. I'll see you downstairs."

Kurt pulled the door partially closed but stopped short to peer back in at Blaine. "See you downstairs." then clicked the door shut behind him.

Blaine was left sitting alone on Kurt's bed and realized that that was the first time he'd been separated from Kurt since they met. He looked around and also realized he had had many firsts since meeting Kurt. Blaine had been prepared for a huge change, knowing he would be becoming someone's personal slave, but he hadn't allowed himself to dream of a scenario like the one he was experiencing then. Kurt was kind, adorable, sexy AND actually considered about Blaine's feelings and concerns. Blaine shook his head in disbelief as he pondered that. Why would a Dom want to know his Sub like someone of real importance? Blaine did have a lot of questions for Kurt. Blaine pulled on the top, stepped into the sweats and looked around Kurt's gorgeous room again. His eyes scanned the painting. From this angle, standing at the door, Blaine saw the swirls of mixed blues and whites resembled the tumbling of the ocean that shallowed into a wave that eventually calmed at the shore of a sandy beach. For some reason it gave Blaine hope and made him think of Kurt.

Kurt, who was waiting for him downstairs
