Kurt sent Sam to his own room after one episode of Doctor Who and made sure the boy had closed his door, and that Finn's door was still shut, before he made his way down the hall to Blaine's bedroom. Yesterday, Blaine had gone swimming by himself and without permission while Kurt was busy tending to Finn, breaking two of Kurt's firm rules. It was behavior that Kurt had thought Blaine had grown out of, they'd talked about him needing to learn to share Kurt's attention more than once but Blaine still had days where he would break a rule just to get a reaction from Kurt. Kurt made sure he always gave all his boys as much attention as they wanted but there were days when one would need him a little more and his other boys had to learn how to accept it.

Blaine was Kurt's first boy and got used to having Kurt all to himself. Adding Finn hadn't upset Blaine too much, he'd understood that Finn needed his brother and there was nothing sexual between the two brothers. He never felt like Finn was interfering in his special relationship with Kurt. Then Puck, and not long after Jeremiah, had come into their lives and Blaine was jealous.

It wasn't the first time Blaine had broken Kurt's rules, and put himself in a dangerous position, to get Kurt's attention, but it had been almost a year since the last time. Blaine had had an easier time accepting Sam into their house, and Kurt suspected it was because Sam still wasn't ready for a sexual relationship with him. Blaine's main problem was with Puck, who Kurt did also have a sexual relationship with, and Jeremiah, who Kurt always put in charge of his boys. Blaine's punishment was to be confined to his room for twenty-four hours, with Jeremiah or Sam checking on him every few hours, but Kurt hadn't gone near the room. Punishing Blaine with his absence would be more effective than if he personally punished the boy. Maybe next time Blaine would think twice before doing something so stupid just to get a little attention.

"Master," Blaine said as Kurt stepped into his bedroom. That one word sent a shiver down Kurt's spine and he crossed the room in three quick steps to take his boy into his arms. He'd missed Blaine and staying away from him had been hard, imagining his poor boy all alone in his room, but Kurt had held strong.

"Blaine," he ran his fingers through his boy's hair and just held him. He had planned on spending the night focusing on Blaine after such a long punishment but now he still had to deal with Puck's disobedience. "Have a seat."

Blaine immediately sat on the edge of his bed and Kurt stood in front of him, fingers still playing with his hair.

"Can you tell me why you were being punished?"

"Yes Sir," Blaine was his only boy who called him 'Master' or 'Sir' at all times in the bedroom. "I broke the rules. I went swimming without asking you and I went alone without telling anyone. I put myself in danger because I could have slipped and I didn't wait thirty minutes after lunch before I went in the pool. And I took your attention away from Finn when he was sick and he needed you."

"That's right Baby," Kurt gave Blaine's hair a gentle tug then leaned down to capture his boy's mouth with his own. "I hope you learned your lesson. I love you so much Blaine, and if you got hurt it would destroy me."

"I love you too," Blaine sniffed. "I'm sorry Master."

"I know you are Baby," Kurt smiled. "I forgive you."

That was all it took for Blaine to give him a brilliant smile, nuzzling his head into Kurt's hand.

"I have to punish Puck," he hated to watch the smile slip from Blaine's face but he couldn't ignore Puck. "I want you to take a shower then wait for me in my bed. No clothes."

"Yes Sir," Kurt could feel Blaine's body react with the anticipation of the promise. He knew his Master would make sure he was taken care of tonight.
