Okay! This is the last one. I'm so sad right now, but I wouldn't just bullshit a bunch of chapters just so it could go on forever. So here you go! If I owned Glee I would probably do something like this as one of the episodes lol that would be awesome! Anyway, don't hate me, this ends in a shitty way. I usually HATE when movies/stories end this way but I'm a bad person and did it anyway. So... hope you like it!
Once they were all in the library, Blaine locked the door and sat across from Lord Berry, next to Kurt.
"Well," the lord started, "where to begin?"
"I guess I would like to know about this relationship. How did it start? Anything you can tell me about my mother?"
Lord Berry took a deep breath and leaned forward.
"I met William not too long before he and your mother married. We were very good friends and I was happy for him. Though, admittedly, a little sad to hear about the betrothal. Time went on, we had our own kingdoms to run, and life got in the way so I did not have time to dwell on it." He paused. "Then one day he paid me a visit out of the blue. I did not have time to ask what had brought him there or if anything was wrong before he silenced me. I'll never forget what he said, it was the most thoughtful I had ever seen him. He said, 'I am not good with words. I can lead men to battle and relay a speech to my subjects but when I am with you, all is lost. I am extremely confused and I do not know what to do. There is only one thing I can do.' And then he kissed me," he finished fondly. Blaine's eyes softened. It was a very touching story.
"Okay, so then what?"
"I was shocked to say the least. But I think I always knew deep down that I cared for him. Before I could reciprocate my feelings, he broke down in tears. He did not know what to do. Not only was this form of behavior not accepted in our society, but he himself did not believe in it. He was having this internal battle that I wished I could have stopped. I just held him and told him it would be okay. That cared for him and only wished what was best for him. Our eyes met and there was a silent agreement. We never talked about it, but it was there. I am not going to go into the details but we slowly became secret lovers. He would always visit me, never the other way around. We met on his terms and I abided by that for fear of scaring him off… Then came the day of the news. He came to me, utterly ashamed. He felt disgusted with himself, like he had betrayed me." He paused again, realizing what he was saying. Looking at Blaine warily, he said, "D-Do not take this the wrong way, lad-"
"He was ashamed of my birth. Huh, wish I could say I was surprised." He leaned back and rubbed his eyes. "Go ahead."
"Right, sorry. Again, I comforted him. I told him this was great news, that there will be another just like him and that that was the most wonderful thing. He soon warmed up to the idea and in no time he was happy and telling me stories of how he was going to raise you to be the perfect heir to his throne." He smiled fondly. But in a second it was gone. "The next time he came to me, distressed, was… was when your-your mother…"
"When she killed herself. What happened? Did he do it? Was he pushing her to do it? Did he hire someone-?"
"Son, calm down. He had told me before that she had her suspicions and that he was getting wary. I told him it was fine and that he was overreacting. But… he burst through the door without thinking and started yelling. I had to excuse myself from the meeting I was in the middle of. William was so frantic and he looked mad. I hurried him into my study and waited patiently for him to calm down enough to talk. He told me his wife had confronted him about his seeing someone else. I do not think she suspected a man, but just his infidelity. She threatened to tell everyone and he panicked and said he would have her killed if she did such things. It was just something he said out of fear and anger. Well, she looked him in the eyes and told him he would never have the chance and ran out of the room. She was found dead on her floor that night, knife in her chest and her hand wrapped around it. It seemed as though she had not told anyone about him but he did not want this to get out either so he kept it a secret long enough to come see me. I told him the only thing I could of, that he would go along with. I told him to tell everyone she had run off. That is what my wife did when I told her about my 'condition' and it seemed easy enough. Only you, William, and myself knew the truth so that is what he told his subjects."
Blaine looked slightly confused. "So what did he do with h-her body?" he asked, shaking his head a little.
Lord Berry looked him in the eye. "Your father still cared about her enough not to be disrespectful of the deceased. Do you know about her old garden?"
Blaine's eyes widened. "She is buried there!? After all this time?" Lord Berry nodded. "Wow. I always thought he dumped her body in the river or something. Maybe he is not such a horrible person."
"He really is not. He is just confused and misunderstood. It will take some time to get through to him but it is possible. He will see. Everyone was very positive today. That will surely help." He smiled.
Blaine got up, Kurt's hand in his. "Thank you so much, Lord Berry. This has helped tremendously and has even given me some closure about my mother."
"Happy to help."
"Okay, I think everyone should just retire for the night. It has been a long, hectic day. We can search for my father in the morning and hopefully we can have at least a little less dramatic conversation."
"Indeed." They shook hands and left the room, going off in different directions. Blaine led Kurt to his quarters. Kurt sat on his bed as Blaine just kind of paced around the room.
"How are you feeling?" Kurt asked quietly. Blaine looked up, looking more tired than he ever has. Kurt held out his hand and Blaine took it. He was pulled down and Kurt wrapped his arms around him as they lay there.
"I really do not know. So much has happened, has changed today. It is a lot to take in. What will happen tomorrow? Next week? Next year? I do not know how to deal with my father. I do not know if or when I will become king at this point. I do not know how to process what has been secretly happening my whole life or the fact that I have been so close to my mother this whole time. I just do not know. I am lost in what I thought was an easy life. It is as if the life I have lived is all a lie, a mirage." Kurt waited patiently, rubbing Blaine's arms comfortingly.
"I am new to this as well. But whatever happens, whatever is decided, whatever you choose, I will be right here. I will not run off. I want to be one of, if not the only thing that stays the same in your life." He kissed the back of his head.
Blaine sighed. "You are the only thing that makes sense in my life right now, Kurt."
They eventually fell asleep, exhausted from the day. Dead to the world. They slept so deeply, they did not hear the door being opened. A shadowed figure slinked into the room, unbeknownst to anyone. It towered over Blaine's side of the bed, just staring for a minute, breathing deeply. It saw how the young prince had a peaceful look on his face, with strong arms wrapped around him. It saw the other young man looking protective, even in sleep. It felt the inevitable jealousy and loathing of the young couple.
"You are just like your mother, poking your nose into matters other than your own. Having a mind of your own when you should only be seen, not heard. Making a mess of everything when there is no need. And you lay there, not a care in the world. Your life is not ruined like mine. So you do not care. Yes… just like your mother." The king pulled something out of his pocket. It glinted in the moonlight streaming through the window. He placed the bloodstained knife at the base of the prince's throat.
"Say hello to your mother for me when you see her in Hell." And he swiftly swiped the knife...
Blaine jolted awake, heart beating faster than ever. He was panting and sweating, looking around the room, disoriented. He felt arms wrap around him from behind.
"Hey… shh, it's okay, baby. You're okay." He turned his head to see Kurt. Kurt chuckled. "When you suggested we watch this medieval movie, I thought you'd actually stay awake longer than ten minutes. I was stuck watching the whole thing by myself." Blaine looked around, blinking. They were laying on Blaine's bed, the TV screen showing knights and a castle but he wasn't really comprehending it.
"H-How long was I asleep?"
"Well, it was right after the really cute prince and knight were talking when you fell asleep. And that was almost two hours ago. Are you okay, honey? Did you have a nightmare?" he asked, rubbing his arms." Blaine shivered.
"Yeah…" He turned around. "You know I love you, right? And I don't care who knows."
Kurt's brow furrowed a little. "I know. I love you, too." He kissed him sweetly. Blaine laid back down, resting his head on Kurt's chest, eyes wide. That had been so real…
The End
So...yeah. Don't throw fruit at me. I thought it was pretty good. ANYWAY, thanks to those of you who have been following this. A few months ago it was just a plot in my head that I came up with when I was bored as hell at work and now it's all here! Please comment your thoughts, whether it be you telling me it was good or screaming at me. I just like feedback. Thanks again!
