A/N: Well hello there! Another part to be absorbed by your beautiful eyes. I've been procrastinating a bunch lately by watching all 6 seasons of Supernatural that they have on Netflix but hopefully now that I'm almost caught up to 7 I'll get down to business. Thanks for reading guys!

Something was different.

Before he even opened his eyes, Kurt knew something had changed.

The light filtering through his eyelids was muted. Instead of the almost industrial lighting he usually witnessed, it seemed almost overcast. He peeked out from behind his lids. It was grey. Not bright white as it had been for days, maybe weeks. His first thought was, "This looks like the same type of grey my fog is." The second thought was, "What the HELL? Why is everything grey? Am I in the same place? What's out there?" Questions of the same nature flowed through his mind non-stop. Kurt couldn't even gather enough sense to look around and note other changes.

Changes like the tired looking boy laying next to him.

Blaine had always been a heavy sleeper.

He was notoriously difficult to wake up and was disoriented for at least an hour afterwards.

At first he didn't notice the changes, he was too busy slowly warming up his body. First the feet and knees, followed by the legs, hips and torso. Then his growling stomach joined the party and the rest of him caught up pretty quickly. Blaine's eyes opened in search of sustenance. He felt like he hadn't eaten in months, which was probably accurate considering his situation. How had he not noticed that before? Nevertheless, those thoughts were pushed to the back of his mind when he realized he could see in the new dim, grey light. Most importantly, he could see the panicked posture of the person sitting next to him.

How long had he been there? Had this person been hiding in the dark all this time? Did he know about the strange place or the light? Blaine decided to get some answers.

Kurt heard a soft whisper of a cough from behind him. The thought was preposterous of course, no one but he and the fog had been in the room for weeks and last time he checked the fog couldn't speak.

He heard it again, more solid. Definitely not hearing things.

"Um, hello? Who's there?"Kurt questioned, scared to find out the answer.

"Oh I'm um, I'm behind you." Kurt turned to see an attractive but bewildered boy staring back at him. He was speechless.

"My name's Blaine."

He found his thoughts and voice just in time to say, "Kurt."

Maybe there was more to this new grey place than meets the eye.
