Chapter 7
The following day, Kurt decided to show Blaine the spot where he found his mom's message. Blaine surprisingly was free for the afternoon, and after glee, they were driving to the lake with Kurt's navigator, neither of them saying a word. "Kurt? Is everything okay? Are you mad at me for some reason?", Blaine finally asked, nervously fiddling with his seatbelt. Kurt shook his head. "Blaine, why should I be mad?", he asked, slightly irritated. Blaine, ignoring that, shrugged. "I don't know. Could it be you are mad because I spent a lot of time with Sebastian lately?", he tentatively asked. Kurt didn't answer. The other merman sighed. "Look, I'm sorry if that's the case. But the relationship with Sebastian is so… new and we need to get to know each other better. If I neglected our friendship while doing that, then I'm really, really sorry, I won't do that again. You are my best friend and you will always be an important part of my life, okay?", Blaine said. Kurt nodded, while stopping the car at the parking of the lake. After he shut off the motor, the dark-haired boy held out his hand. "Are we good?", he nervously asked. Kurt rolled his eyes, then accepted his hand. "Of course we are, silly", he then answered. Blaine relievedly sighed. Kurt then put off his jacket and got out of the car. Blaine followed suit and they went to a secluded area of the lake before the waddled into the water. Underwater, Kurt tried to remember where he found the wooden box. The lake was larger and deeper than it looked from the outside and became darker the more they neared the ground of the lake. Finally, Kurt found the rock and made a sign to Blaine. However, Blaine seemed to notice something else. He swam around the rock and pointed at the back of it. Kurt confusedly furrowed his eyebrows. Did his friend find something else? He flicked his blue tail and followed the other merman. There was a bigger hole on the other side of the rock, and Kurt thought he had seen Blaine's mint green fin disappearing in it. He shrugged and followed him. The hole led to a small underwater tunnel which became brighter the further they swam. After some time, the boys could see light and a surface. Kurt and Blaine swam to the surface…and gasped when they surfaced in a large moonpool. "Did you know there was a moonpool here in Lima?", Blaine asked. Kurt shook his head. "My mom never mentioned anything like that in her diary or her letter, neither did her friends...", he said and swam to the edge. He looked up to the sky above them. The moonpool was hidden in a cave which had no ceiling. They could already see the moon pass by. Suddenly, the water began bubbling. The boy's eyes widened. "Do you remember when that happened in Venice?", Blaine asked. "How could I ever forget that?", Kurt laughed. That event changed their lives forever and they didn't even notice back then. As the bubbles floated in the air, Kurt could already feel the energy of the moonpool flowing into his body. It felt weird, but he actually liked it. He looked over to Blaine who had closed his eyes, seemingly enjoying it as well. That's the last thing both of them remembered before everythink went black all of a sudden.
The alarm woke Kurt up and he groaned. The clock read 5 am. He had to get up that early or else, he could forget his skin care routine. The boy threw back his blanket and got up. He quickly took a bath, brushed his teeth without getting wet and started his moisturizing routine. Two hours later, his face was finally dry and moisturized and his tail vanished. He got up, went down to the kitchen and met his still drowsy stepbrother. "Morning, Finn!", Kurt greeted him. Finn only grumbled in response. Kurt shook his head. His brother had never been a morning person. He glanced at the glass of orange juice Finn was holding and smirked slightly. Maybe he could help his brother wake up. The boy lifted his hand in the direction of the other boy's glass. However, instead of getting splashed by the juice, a strong gust of wind threw Finn to the floor. The quarterback cursed loudly as he spotted the broken glass on the floor. "Finn, language!", Burt shouted from the living room. Kurt stared at his hands as if they belonged to someone else. What was that? Did he do that? He took his bag and quickly left the house before Finn could suspect him to be responsible for his little accident.
After getting up, Blaine went down to the kitchen and made some Spanish homework. He made himself some pop tarts and turned around, hitting his cup of coffee with his elbow in the process. The brown liquid spilled over his homework and he cursed loudly. What was he going to do now? He couldn't save his homework anymore. Unless…Blaine smiled to himself. He could try to dry he paper, right? So, he balled his fist and held it over the college block. Suddenly, the block burst into flames. Blaine yelped, sprinted to the fire-extinguisher and put out the flames. He put down the item and stared at his now wet college block. "Blaine! What happened?", Pam Anderson shouted from her room. "Nothing, mom! I just got startled, that's all!", he answered back. The boy quickly threw his college block into the trash and moped the mess up with a cloth. Normally, he would have used his powers to dry everything, but he was too afraid of what he was now capable to do. After he was done, he retrieved his phone from his pocket and texted Kurt.
Blaine: We need to talk. Something weird happened to me
Kurt: Same here. Meet me at the Lima Bean in ten
Blaine took his bag and car keys, quickly said goodbye to his mother and rushed out the door.
"…and then I accidently burned down my homework!", Blaine told Kurt. The boys sat at their usual table at the Lima Bean with their coffees. The chestnut-haired boy frowned and sipped his Grande Non-Fat Mocha. " I think I can control the wind now. When I wanted to splash Finn, I threw him to the ground instead. Thank god Finn is too dumb to do the math.", Kurt sighed. "But why did our powers change?", Blaine wondered. Kurt furrowed his eyebrows. "Do you remember what happened after the bubbling yesterday in the moonpool stopped?", he asked. Blaine shook his head. "I honestly don't. I only remembered I felt stronger when we were in the moonpool yesterday when the full moon passed by." Kurt's eyes widened. "Hold up…Wasn't there a full moon when we were in the moon pool in Venice?", he asked. Blaine nodded. "Yes, that's right! But how…" "-Blaine! Why didn't you tell me you would be here to grab coffee?", Sebastian, who just appeared, interrupted his boyfriend and kissed him on his cheek. Kurt rolled his eyes. "Do you live at this place or something? Why are you always here?", he asked, annoyed. Sebastian ignored him. "Are you free this afternoon, killer? We could hang out.", he said and winked flirtatiously. Blaine looked over to Kurt, then shook his head. "I'm sorry, Sebastian, but I'm busy. But we could hang out tomorrow", he suggested. Sebastian smirk was forced. "No problem, baby. You can make up to me next time. I will think of something!", he purred. Kurt felt like he could throw up any second. Blaine on the other side, apparently oblivious to the sexual innuendo, smiled innocently. "Sure, Seb. Well, Kurt and I need to get going now, school starts in a few minutes. I will text you!" He quickly pecked his boyfriend and left the coffee shop with Kurt in tow. Once outside, the chestnut-haired boy groaned. "Your boyfriend is unbearable!", Kurt complained. Blaine sighed deeply. "Kurt, please, you two are two of the most important men in my life. Please try to be friendly to each other, okay?", he pleaded. Kurt groaned again. "I will try", he finally grumbled. Blaine happily hugged the other boy. "Thank you! You don't know how much that means to me", he relievedly sighed. The boys parted ways when they went to their respective cars and drove away. Sebastian, who was watching the whole scene from inside, didn't look thrilled. "You will never get Blaine, Gay Face. Never. You want to fight over him? Good, the fight is on", he growled.
