A/N: This chapter will include the contract, so some of it might seem dry to some, but this is something I always love to see done in fics I read, so I did it for this one.


There were very few things that Blaine could think of that were better than waking up in Kurt's arms. It was something that he could definitely get used to, and he was hoping that, with their new relationship, it would be something that would happen more and more often.

"Good morning, aking prinsipe," Kurt gruffed out, voice still heavy with sleep.

"Good morning, aking Hari," Blaine replied. "Did you sleep well?"

"Better than I have in a long time," he answered. "How about you?"

"I had the best dreams," Blaine said.

"Do you have plans for today?" Kurt asked.

"No, aking Hari," Blaine replied. "I was going to spend the day getting my lesson plans all ironed out so that, when you got back tomorrow, my weekend was free from distractions."

"That's actually kind of perfect," Kurt said. "I'd like to work on our contract today. You can choose-and I want you to think about what would make you be more productive-whether I stay here or go to my own apartment to work on our contract. There is no wrong or right answer here, aking prinsipe. I truly want us both to get these tasks done so that we have the rest of the weekend to get to know one another better."

Blaine thought for a few minutes. Having Kurt here would be wonderful; I'm not sure I'm ready for him to be gone just yet. However, he might be distracting, too; not that he would be distracting, but rather, I might be distracted with him so near me. I'd be thinking about everything we've done thus far and where else our relationship could lead and that list… yeah, if I'm going to get any work done, it might be best if he's not here.

"I think I might concentrate better if you weren't here, aking Hari," Blaine said quietly. "But I also don't want to be away from you."

"How long do you think it will take you to finish your lesson plans?" Kurt asked as he rubbed gentle circles on Blaine's back.

Blaine looked over and saw that it was 9:27 in the morning. "By the time I get up, get around, and then get started on it, I think I could be done by 3:00."

"How about this then? I will take all of my stuff to my apartment and work on our contract there, and then, I will come back over here around 4:00? We can go over the contract, make some supper, and then see about your special reward for last night?" Kurt proposed.

"I just…" Blaine started. "I'm… I don't even know what I'm trying to say."

"Take your time, aking prinsipe," Kurt said and kissed Blaine's temple. "I want to hear what you have to say, and I'll stay for however long you need me to."

Blaine took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He centered himself on the feeling of Kurt's hands on his body and the sound of his breath. "I'm just having a hard time believing any of this is real. You're just… you just are so... accommodating, I guess is the right word. I need time, and you give it to me. I need to slow down, and all it takes is one word to make that happen."

"I'm sure that you've learned that even though I'm technically in charge, you're really the one with all of the power, right?" Kurt asked. "It's my job to take care of you, and that's what I intend to do. Listening to you is one way of doing just that. You said that it would be better for you to work without me here, and I'm making that happen. That might not always be the case, sure, but for today, that's what's going to happen. All of this can be very overwhelming in the beginning. You also should know that all it will take is one word and I'll be back over here as soon as I can."

"Which word would that be, aking Hari?" Blaine asked. "I actually really like the idea of having a word that can mean something like, 'I need you.'"

"That's a wonderful idea, aking prinsipe. What would you like it to be?" Kurt asked.

"Um, how about 'kailangan?'" Blaine asked. "I like the thought of all of our words being in Tagalog, and kailangan means need. Like, I need you, but not in a sexual way, in a grounding way. Am I making any sense?"

"Yes, aking prinsipe," Kurt answered. "It would mean that something is going on and you need my dominance to help center and ground you."

"That's exactly it," Blaine said and leaned up to give Kurt a kiss. "Thank you for knowing me so well already."

"I've been told that I'm oblivious at times," Kurt answered. "There is more than likely going to be something I miss, as I said, and I will ask for forgiveness when that happens. However, I try to pay attention and will do my very best to give you what you need."

"I will do my best to help when you do miss something," Blaine replied.

"As much as I hate to, I should probably get home so I can get our contract done and back over here by 4:00," Kurt said.

"Okay," Blaine replied. "Can I make you supper tonight?"

"I'd love that, aking prinsipe," Kurt said and kissed Blaine on the lips then crawled out of bed, gathered up his clothes, and headed to the bathroom to make himself as presentable as possible.

While Kurt was in the bathroom, Blaine put on a pair of boxers, some sweatpants, and a t-shirt. He met Kurt in the hallway and excused himself into the bathroom to brush his teeth quickly before heading out to the living room to see Kurt off.

"Call me if you need anything; otherwise, I'll see you at 4:00," Kurt told him and then kissed him thoroughly.

"Yes, aking Hari," Blaine answered breathily.

After Kurt was out the door, Blaine ate breakfast, took a shower, and then got going on his lesson plans. He made sure he had everything for supper, which he determined he did. The day passed both quickly and slowly. He found it difficult at times to focus on his lesson plans, but when 4:00 rolled around and there was a knock at his door, he was done with them and had even had time to straighten up his apartment.

Blaine opened the door to a smiling Kurt and invited him into the apartment, placing a kiss upon his cheek before he turned back to shut the door. When he turned around, Kurt was waiting by the sofa. He was holding a bag with the Louis Vuitton logo on it that looked like it might be an overnight bag but also could be a briefcase of some sort.

"I wasn't sure if I would be staying over, so I brought this just in case," Kurt said, noticing where Blaine's eyes were looking. "This is in no way me inviting myself over. I just like to be prepared for any outcome if I can."

Blaine smiled. "Unless anything drastic changes, I'd love for you to stay the night again. Can I take your bag?"

"That would be great, aking prinsipe," Kurt said. He got some papers out of the front zipper first and then handed the bag over to Blaine.

When Blaine came back into the living room, Kurt was sitting on the sofa.

"Would you like anything to drink before I join you?" Blaine asked.

"Some water would be nice," Kurt answered.

A minute later, Blaine returned to the living room with two glasses of water and sat them on the coffee table then took a seat right beside Kurt.

"I have our contract here if you'd like to read through it," Kurt said, not wasting any time.

"I'd like that," Blaine replied. "If… um, if I have anything I want to change, I can ask for that, can't I?"

"You most certainly can, aking prinsipe," Kurt told him and kissed him gently on the lips. "Thank you for asking that."

"Should I save my questions for the end or as I'm going through it?" Blaine asked.

"As you're going through it would be better," Kurt answered. "That way, if whatever we change affects something later on, we can fix it right then, too."

Blaine took a deep breath and started to read what could be the most life-changing document of his life.

CONTRACT

Made this day November 27, 2020 ("The Commencement Date")

BETWEEN

Kurt E. Hummel

("The Dominant")

Blaine D. Anderson

("The submissive")

THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS

1. The following are the terms of a binding contract between the Dominant and the submissive.

FUNDAMENTAL TERMS

2. The fundamental purpose of this contract is to allow the submissive to explore his sensuality and his limits safely, with due respect and regard for his needs, his limits, and his well-being.

3. The Dominant and the submissive agree and acknowledge that all that occurs under the terms of this contract will be consensual, confidential, and subject to the agreed limits and safety procedures set out in this contract. Additional limits and safety procedures may be agreed in writing.

4. The Dominant and the submissive each warrant that they suffer from no sexual, serious, infectious, or life-threatening illnesses. If during the Term (as defined below) or any extended term of this contract either party should be diagnosed with or become aware of any such illness, he undertakes to inform the other immediately and in any event prior to any form of physical contact between the parties.

5. Adherence to the above warranties, agreements, and undertakings (and any additional limits and safety procedures agreed under clause 3 above) are fundamental to this contract. Any breach shall render it void with immediate effect, and each party agrees to be fully responsible to the other for the consequence of any breach.

6. Everything in this contract must be read and interpreted in the light of the purpose and the terms set out in clauses 2-5 above.

ROLES

7. The Dominant shall take responsibility for the well-being and the proper training, guidance, and discipline of the submissive. He shall decide the nature of such training, guidance, and discipline and the time and place of its administration, subject to the agreed terms, limitations, and safety procedures set out in this contract.

"Um..." Blaine said.

"What is it, aking prinsipe?" Kurt asked.

"This part, where it talks about training and that you will decide on the nature of that training... What does that mean?" Blaine asked.

"It means that if we decide at any time that we want to change the way we play, and you would need extra training, that's something I could decide," Kurt explained.

"Do you, um, do you think we could just take that part out, and if it's something we want to add in later, we can?" Blaine hesitantly asked.

"Absolutely," Kurt replied. He took the contract and crossed out the "training" parts. "Does that look better now?

7. The Dominant shall take responsibility for the well-being and the proper guidance and discipline of the submissive. He shall decide the nature of such guidance and discipline and the time and place of its administration, subject to the agreed terms, limitations, and safety procedures set out in this contract.

"I like that a lot better," Blaine replied. "Thank you, aking Hari."

"You're welcome, aking prinsipe," Kurt said and kissed Blaine once more, simply because he could.

8. The Dominant and submissive will maintain a "boyfriend" relationship when in public. Neither want their D/s relationship to be known in public. The exception to this is around the Dominant's father, who is aware of his son's nature, only if agreed upon by both Dominant and submissive prior to the interaction.

9. If at any time the Dominant should fail to keep to the agreed terms, limitations, and safety procedures set out in this contract or agreed, the submissive is entitled to terminate this contract forthwith and to leave the service of the Dominant without notice.

"Wow," Blaine whispered.

"What is it, aking prinsipe?" Kurt asked.

"Number nine," Blaine said as he looked up at Kurt. "It just seems sort of... I'm not sure what the right word is."

"This whole contract is to protect both of us," Kurt explained. "This clause is, or should be, in any D/s contract. There are some Doms out there that abuse their power, and this clause is put in here to give subs a little bit more protection. I will also say that this is not a clause I ever plan to have used. There isn't a scenario in my mind that I can fathom ever coming close to making you use this as a way out of our relationship."

"Thank you, aking Hari," Blaine said. "Thank you for all that you said but also for wanting to protect me so much."

"It's part of my job, aking prinsipe," Kurt replied.

10. Within the agreed upon limits, the submissive should obey the Dominant in all things without hesitation or question.

COMMENCEMENT AND TERM

11. The Dominant and submissive enter into this contract on The Commencement Date fully aware of its nature and undertake to abide by its conditions without exception.

12. This contract shall be effective for a period of one calendar month from The Commencement Date ("The Term"). On the expiry of The Term, the parties shall discuss whether this contract and the arrangements they have made under this contract are satisfactory and whether the needs of each party have been met. Either party may propose the extension of this contract subject to adjustments to its terms, or to the arrangements they have made under it. In the absence of agreement to such extension, this contract shall terminate, and both parties shall be free to resume their lives separately.

"Why only one month?" Blaine asked.

"In my experience, there are going to be some things we will need to adjust along the way, but most certainly at the end of one month, we will have learned a little more about each other by then. There might be some things that come up during that time that neither one of us have thought about, and that will be a time to see if we still want to continue this agreement and proceed or if we want to dissolve it."

"It… This feels right. Us, I mean," Blaine stated as he stumbled through his words and thoughts. "I hope that we will be able to continue."

"I agree," Kurt replied.

AVAILABILITY

13. The submissive will make himself available to the Dominant from Friday evenings through to Sunday afternoons each week during the Term at times to be specified by the Dominant ("the Allotted Times"). Further allocated time can be mutually agreed on an ad hoc basis.

14. The Dominant reserves the right to dismiss the submissive from his service at any time and for any reason. The submissive may request his release at any time, such request to be granted at the discretion of the Dominant subject only to the submissive's rights under clauses 2-5 and 8 above.

"How would this work if something came up for work for either one of us, or if I wanted to see you during the week?" Blaine asked, slightly panicked. "I… I don't want to only see you on the weekends. Is… is that okay?"

Kurt kissed Blaine hard on the lips. "If either of us have work events on the weekend, we will talk about them ahead of time and figure out what we want to do. I want to see you more than just the weekends, too, but I want you every weekend I can, which is why that's in there. If you are going back home, I want to know ahead of time so that we can make sure to see each other during the week beforehand. I will let you know that information as well."

"Okay, aking Hari," Blaine replied, still a little breathless from the kiss.

LOCATION

15. The submissive will make himself available during the Allotted Times and agreed additional times at locations to be determined by the Dominant. The Dominant will ensure that all travel costs incurred by the submissive for that purpose are met by the Dominant.

"Aking Hari, I can pay my own way," Blaine stated firmly.

"I know you can, aking prinsipe," Kurt replied. "This is in here for anything extra outside of traveling back and forth. If I want to take us away for a weekend, I pay."

Kurt's tone left little room for negotiation on this topic, so Blaine didn't fight it even though something was screaming at him to do just that.

SERVICE PROVISIONS

16. The following service provisions have been discussed and agreed and will be adhered to by both parties during the Term. Both parties accept that certain matters may arise which are not covered by the terms of this contract or the service provisions, or that certain matters may be renegotiated. In such circumstances, further clauses may be proposed by way of amendment. Any further clauses or amendments must be agreed, documented, and signed by both parties and shall be subject to the fundamental terms set out at clauses 2-5 above.

DOMINANT

16.1 The Dominant shall make the submissive's health and safety a priority at all times. The Dominant shall not at any time require, request, allow, or demand the submissive to participate at the hands of the Dominant in the activities detailed in Appendix 2 or in any act that either party deems to be unsafe. The Dominant will not undertake or permit to be undertaken any action which could cause serious injury or any risk to the submissive's life. The remaining sub-clauses of this clause, 16, are to be read subject to this proviso and to the fundamental matters agreed in clauses 2-5 above.

16.2 The Dominant accepts the submissive as his, to dominate and discipline during the Term. The Dominant may use the submissive's body at any time during the Allotted Times or any agreed additional times in any manner he deems fit, sexually or otherwise.

Reading this made Blaine harder than he would have liked to admit, and he whined a little under his breath. Kurt, ever observant, leaned in and whispered directly into his ear, "See something you like, aking principe?"

"Mmm-hmm," Blaine nodded. "Th-that one," and he pointed to 16.2.

"Mmmm," Kurt hummed, still right next to Blaine's ear. "I'm quite looking forward to that one myself."

Blaine took a calming breath, though it did absolutely nothing for his hard-on, and kept reading.

16.3 The Dominant shall provide the submissive with all necessary guidance and instruction in how to properly serve the Dominant.

16.4 The Dominant shall maintain a stable and safe environment in which the submissive may perform his duties in service of the Dominant.

16.5 The Dominant may discipline the submissive as necessary to ensure the submissive fully accepts his position in relation to the Dominant and to discourage unacceptable conduct. The Dominant may assign corner time, writing lines, or spank the submissive as he sees fit, for purposes of discipline, for his own personal enjoyment, or for any other reason.

"Aking Hari?" Blaine asked. "What… I mean, um, you told me. Um, you said… punishments?"

"Sometimes, I might use one of these, likely spanking, as part of our play, but only if it's something we determine you enjoy," Kurt said. "Or, if it's part of a role-play we are doing, such as you've been a naughty boy and need to be punished while you're in the corner."

"Oh. My. God," Blaine groaned, really liking the sound of that. He wasn't quite sure how he felt about spanking right now, but the picture Kurt just painted sounded sort of amazing.

"I will always, always let you know why you are being punished before it happens for real, though," Kurt explained. "Should I write that in there?"

"Yes, please," Blaine replied.

16.5 The Dominant may discipline the submissive as necessary to ensure the submissive fully accepts his position in relation to the Dominant and to discourage unacceptable conduct. The Dominant may assign corner time, writing lines, loss of privileges, spank, or put the submissive in a chastity device as he sees fit, for purposes of discipline, for his own personal enjoyment, or for any other reason. The Dominant will tell the submissive what he is being punished for before the punishment happens and will never punish when he is angry. The Dominant will be calm during all punishments.

"Thank you for adding that last part, too, aking Hari," Blaine said.

"You're welcome," Kurt replied. "I honestly can't believe I forgot it the first time around."

16.6. In the administration of discipline, the Dominant shall ensure that no permanent marks are made upon the submissive's body nor any injuries incurred that may require medical attention.

16.7. In the administration of discipline, the Dominant shall ensure that the discipline and the instruments used for the purposes of discipline are safe, shall not be used in such a way as to cause serious harm, and shall not in any way exceed the limits defined and detailed in this contract.

16.8. In case of illness or injury, the Dominant shall care for the submissive, seeing to his health and safety, encouraging and, when necessary, ordering medical attention.

16.9. The Dominant shall maintain his own good health and seek medical attention when necessary in order to maintain a risk-free environment.

16.10. The Dominant shall not loan his submissive to another Dominant.

16.11. The Dominant may restrain, handcuff, or bind the submissive at any time during the Allotted Times or any agreed additional times for any reason and for extended periods of time, giving due regard to the health and safety of the submissive.

"Mmmmm," Blaine moaned, getting even harder in his pants.

"Later, aking prinsipe," Kurt whispered in his ear.

16.12 The Dominant will ensure that all equipment used for the purposes of play and

discipline shall be maintained in a clean, hygienic, and safe state at all times.

SUBMISSIVE

16.13 The submissive accepts the Dominant as his guardian and protector, with the understanding that he is now under the protection and guidance of the Dominant, to be dealt with as the Dominant pleases during the Term generally but specifically during the Allotted Times and any additional agreed allotted times.

16.14 The submissive shall obey the rules ("the Rules") set out in Appendix 1 to this agreement.

16.15 The submissive shall serve the Dominant in any way the Dominant sees fit and shall endeavor to please the Dominant at all times to the best of his ability.

"Nnng," Blaine moaned again. He wanted, so badly, to be serving his Dom, his Hari.

"Where are you at, aking prinsipe?" Kurt asked.

"Um..." Blaine started and then cleared his throat. "The part about serving you in any way you see fit.

"Mmm," Kurt responded. "Keep reading, and we'll see what we can do about that." He spent a couple of seconds palming Blaine's very noticeable erection and then stopped abruptly.

"Yes, aking Hari," Blaine breathed.

16.16 The submissive shall take all measures necessary to maintain his good health and shall request or seek medical attention whenever it is needed, keeping the Dominant informed at all times of any health issues that may arise.

16.17 The submissive shall accept without question any and all disciplinary actions deemed necessary by the Dominant and remember his status and role in regard to the Dominant at all times.

"Aking Hari? Can we modify this one?" Blaine asked, pointing to the last point he had read.

"How would you like to modify it?" Kurt asked.

"Could it say something about how, if I don't agree, I can safeword, and we can talk about it? It's just... If I don't understand fully, I don't want to get into even more trouble for asking a question or something like that," Blaine replied. "Um, also, I don't care for the wording of the 'remember his status and role.'"

"Thank you for telling me, my brave prinsipe, and the change you suggested is a great addition," Kurt said and changed the wording.

16.17 The submissive shall accept without question any and all disciplinary actions deemed necessary by the Dominant. If there is a question about the punishment, the submissive will use his safeword, dilaw (to be explained in further detail under "safewords" below).

"Better?" Kurt asked.

"Thank you, aking Hari," Blaine replied. He was in awe of how accommodating Kurt was being. Maybe submissive's really do hold all of the power, he thought and continued to read.

16.18 The submissive shall not touch or pleasure himself sexually without permission from the Dominant.

16.19 The submissive shall submit to any sexual activity demanded by the Dominant and shall do without hesitation or argument, unless a hard limit or something that has not been discussed presents itself in which the submissive should safeword immediately.

16.20 The submissive shall accept any discipline the Dominant should decide to administer, without hesitation or complaint. If a limit is being pushed or the submissive does not understand the reasoning for the punishment, he is allowed to safeword.

16.22 The submissive shall always conduct himself in a respectful manner to the Dominant and shall address him only as aking Hari or such other title as the Dominant may direct. During "boyfriend" time, the submissive will call the Dominant by his name, Kurt.

16.23 The submissive is able to touch and kiss the Dominant at any time unless specified otherwise by the Dominant.

"Aking Hari? Why is this last one stated?" Blaine asked, pointing to 16.23.

"Some Doms do not allow their subs to touch them, and definitely not kiss them, without their permission," Kurt explained. "I don't ever want that between us. If you want a kiss, you can take it. If you want to hold my hand or touch my shoulder as you're walking by me, I want you to do that. I don't ever want to take touch away from you."

Blaine had unshed tears in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to say something a few times before closing his eyes. He felt Kurt's hand wrap around him, presumably waiting for him to be ready to talk about what he was thinking and feeling. Once he felt like he was under control, Blaine talked.

"I've lived here in the city for a little over three years now," he said quietly. "I just didn't realize how much I missed touch before just now. My mom was never shy about hugging me or anything like that. I was never 'touch-starved' by any means growing up. However, since I moved here, I have been. So, I guess I just wanted to say thank you for not depriving me of that."

"Thank you for telling me that, aking prinsipe," Kurt replied. "I think I want to add that in as a hard limit below." At that, Kurt flipped forward a little and added this into the hard limit section.

"How are you real?" Blaine asked.

Kurt laughed. "I'm only trying to do what's best for you, and by extension, for us. I want this to work just as much as you do."

Because he could, Blaine gave Kurt a deep kiss and then turned back to the contract.

ACTIVITIES

17. The submissive shall not participate in activities or any sexual acts that either party deems to be unsafe or any activities detailed in Appendix 2.

18. The Dominant and the submissive have discussed the activities set out in Appendix 3 and recorded in writing on Appendix 3 their agreement in respect of them.

SAFEWORDS

19. The Dominant and the submissive recognize that the Dominant may make demands of the submissive that cannot be met without incurring physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or other harm at the time the demands are made to the submissive. In such circumstances related to this, the submissive may make use of a safeword ("The Safeword (s)"). Five Safewords will be invoked depending on the situation. If at any time a safeword cannot be used (such as when the submissive is gagged or his mouth is otherwise occupied), a double-tap on the shoulder or thigh will be the stop signal.

20. The Safeword "berde" will be used to indicate that the submissive is ready to play and meet any demands that the Dominant might have.

21. The Safeword "dilaw" will be used to bring to the attention of the Dominant that the submissive is close to his limit of endurance or if the submissive needs to take a moment to get himself under control before breaking a rule or limit.

22. The Safeword "pula" will be used to bring to the attention of the Dominant that the submissive cannot tolerate any further demands. When this word is said, the Dominant's action will cease completely with immediate effect.

23. The Safeword "oras" will be used to bring attention to the Dominant that the submissive needs a moment to think before answering any questions or committing to any new acts.

24. The Safeword "kailangan" will be used if the submissive needs the Dominant for any reason not during the Allotted Time.

"Wow," Blaine said. "Thank you for my safewords."

"There is no need to thank me, but you're welcome nonetheless," Kurt said.

CONCLUSION

25. We, the undersigned, have read and understood fully the provisions of this contract. We freely accept the terms of this contract and have acknowledged this by our signatures below.

"I like that you included yourself in these rules, too," Blaine stated after he finished the rules section. He didn't want to talk about the last rule right now for fear of crying. Already, he wanted nothing more than for Kurt to be his soulmate. "It makes it feel even more like we're in this together."

"I'm glad, aking prinsipe," Kurt said. "That's what I was hoping for and what I truly want. This is a partnership, just like any other relationship."

"I know I didn't mention some of those as hard limits when we talked yesterday, so I'm guessing they are yours?" Blaine asked. "Not that I mind at all. I'm glad you added them, because they are definitely all hard limits for me as well."

"They are hard limits for me," Kurt said. "There are some people who are really into all of those things; I'm just not one of them."

"You have no complaints from me; I promise," Blaine replied and continued reading.

"I have questions," Blaine said huskily. "Well, mainly one but it, um, encomapsses two of the limits."

"Ask away, aking prinsipe," Kurt said.

"The, um, outdoor scenes and voyeurism."

"Okay, I put those on there just in case we'd ever want to try something like that," Kurt said. "Neither one of us wants our lifestyle to get out to the public. I know that and respect that. So, the outdoor one would be more like if we rented a rooftop and had a scene there or something like that. And, the voyeurism would be if we found someone who we trusted and wouldn't mind them watching us. If you want, though, we can put both of those on the hard limit list and be done with them."

"No," Blaine said quickly. "I love both of those ideas actually. Maybe not anytime soon, but I love them as an option. Oh, one more: the switching. I just assumed I'd always bottom. Isn't that what the submissive does?"

"Keep going, and I promise we'll talk about that one when we're all done."

"I can't wait to add more things to this list, aking Hari," Blaine moaned out. "This all looks perfect. Thank you so much for working so hard on it today."

Blaine signed the document and then watched as Kurt scrawled his signature on the paper. The whole process made him shiver in the very best of ways.

"It is my pleasure," Kurt replied saucily. "Okay, it is just about 5:30 now. What do you say we have an early supper, and then, you can have your reward from last night?"

"That sounds amazing, aking Hari," Blaine said. "I hope you like chicken fettuccine alfredo. I make a healthy version, so it's not so loaded down with fat; although, the fattening stuff is typically what people say makes it good."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Kurt asked. "I love to cook and find enjoyment in it."

"I'm sure I can find something for you to do, aking Hari," Blaine sassed.

"Cheeky boy," Kurt replied and followed him into the kitchen.

They boys made supper in perfect harmony, almost as if they'd done it a million times before. After they had their fill of the delicious food and cleaned up their dishes, Kurt gave Blaine his first order as a newly claimed submissive.

"Aking prinsipe," Kurt said in a commanding voice. "I want you to go into your bedroom, strip, and kneel beside your bed. I will be in shortly, and we'll discuss your reward."

"Yes, aking Hari," Blaine said and then strode toward his room. He took off his clothes and put them in the hamper, knowing he wouldn't be needing them again tonight. As he got ready to kneel, he decided to get a cushion from the chair in his room to put under his knees, hoping it was an alright thing to do. If I am going to be doing a lot of this, I need to look into getting a better cushion for sure.

Blaine sat back on his heels and placed his hands in his lap. He automatically bowed his head and closed his eyes, trying to quiet his mind of all of the possibilities of what his reward could be. Several moments later-Blaine honestly wasn't sure how long it was-he felt Kurt's fingers carding through his curls.

"You're amazing, aking prinsipe," Kurt purred. "You look so beautiful on your knees for me. I bet you'll look even better while I'm riding you."

Blaine's head snapped up and looked Kurt in his eyes. "Aking Hari?" he asked.

"That's your reward," Kurt responded. "This isn't something that will happen often, only as a very special reward if you so choose. And, if you'd like something else, all you have to do is say the word, and I'll come up with something else."
