Kurt continued to hold Blaine's hand throughout the rest of breakfast. Both Sebastian and David praised Blaine on his cooking skills, causing the younger man to blush and duck his head, and causing Kurt to beam with pride. Once everyone had finished eating, Blaine jumped up to begin clearing away the dishes. Even though Kurt would have preferred him to stay and 'hang out', he knew that Blaine believed it to be what was required and expected of him. Not wanting to cause his sub any further stress, Kurt decided to not reprimand him. He wasn't surprised, however, when David excused himself from the table and strode into the kitchen.

Blaine wasn't expecting anyone to come into the kitchen as he was cleaning up the breakfast dishes, so when he felt a large presence behind him, his body went completely rigid, and his hands stopped moving entirely. He closed his eyes, and waited as the presence came closer; he waited for the insults and the blows to rain down on his head and torso, like they had many times before. However, the violence never came; there was a sure gentle voice instead.

"Hey, Blaine…do you want some help?" David asked softly. Blaine jumped slightly before turning and facing the incoming submissive. He shifted from foot to foot, unsure of what he was supposed to do; he hadn't been in contact with another submissive since he began his training almost 10 years ago, and he most certainly had never come in contact with a sub like David.

"Um...you don't have to do that, Mr. David," he replied, keeping his eyes lowered. Even though David was a sub, Blaine still felt inferior to him, simply due to the face that he didn't act like a sub.

"Aww, come on," he countered, smiling, "I wanna help…plus, you don't have to add the 'Mr.'. I'm a sub too, ya know?"

"Ok…thank you," Blaine said softly. David's smile grew even larger as he moved to help Blaine rinse the dishes. Maybe he's not so bad. Blaine thought to himself.

Kurt watched the interaction between the 2 subs carefully so that he could step in in case anything got too stressful for Blaine. He knew David was a big teddy bear, but because he was so large, he came across as a lot more intimidating than he actually was. He smiled when he noticed they began speaking quietly, and glowed with pride and thankfulness when Blaine let out a small chuckle at something David had said.

"So, what really is going on, Kurt," Sebastian asked as they moved to the living room. "I mean, Blaine's amazing, and this girl is beautiful, but…I seriously spoke with you 2 days ago, Kurt! And then I find out that you bought a sub and a baby? Spill…"

"I don't know, Seb…" Kurt replied, rubbing the back of his neck, "It's not like I planned for this to happen. Especially not after Chandler…but I was waiting for the train yesterday morning, and Blaine and Audrey and their former Dom were there, and he was just so cruel. The things he did and said in public, Seb…it would have made your blood boil. And he was selling Audrey! I mean look at her…she's gorgeous! We both know that she would NEVER make it at a SubHouse…and he knew that! Ugh!" Kurt took a deep breath, steadying himself. "I just had to…you know how it feels. I haven't felt this way about anyone in a long time, Seb…and seeing Blaine yesterday, I had to protect him…and so I bought him." He shrugged, sighing, "It seemed like it would be the easiest way to get rid of that bastard…but now their mine. And I have no idea if I'm any good for them…but I already love them so much, and I just want them to be happy..."

"Kurt, you're amazing. What happened with Chandler wasn't your fault…you know that. You're such a remarkable Dominate…and the fact that you love Blaine and Audrey should prove that to you. Just follow your instincts…and you'll be just fine. I'm just so happy for you, Kurt…" He pulled the other Dominate into a tight embrace. "Do you think you should maybe talk to Nick and Jeff? They might be able to help…at least Jeff will, don't you think?"

Kurt gasped, "Oh! I didn't even think about Nick and Jeff! That's an awesome idea…I think Jeff could really help Blaine." He beamed at Sebastian. He would definitely need to get in contact with the pair as soon as possible – Blaine needed it. Kurt quickly sent a text to Nick, before shutting his phone.

Soon enough, Sebastian and Dave had to leave, and Kurt began to make plans for their day - shopping. He mentally calculated the different items they would need; he knew the day would be very stressful for Blaine, and he knew they would need to minimize the amount of stores they would need to go in to.

"Ok, Bee…today I was thinking we could go get you and Audrey some new clothes…" he began, already sensing the sub's trepidation. When Blaine began to shake his head in protest, the older man continued, "We really need to get you some clothes that fit properly, Love. You can't wear those hideous hand-me-downs forever." He smiled down at the young father, "Plus, I wanna see what kinds of things you like, and don't like…and what you would like to get for Audrey…what do you say?"

Blaine shifted nervously, ringing his hands. "Um…ok, Mister Kurt. If-if you think we should, Sir…w-we can go" he said, eyes settling on Kurt's knees. He flashed Kurt what he figured was supposed to be a smile, but ended up as more of a grimace, but he relaxed when Kurt worked his fingers into his curls.

"Thank you, Bee," he said, placing a kiss on the smaller man's head, "I promise it won't be that bad. And just let me know if it becomes too much, and we'll come home, ok?" Blaine nodded his consent, still unsure of voicing his opinions.

It took another hour before they were ready to leave the apartment. Blaine had no idea what was expected of him – what to wear outside…what he should have Audrey wear. He knew Mister Kurt was an important man, and the last thing he wanted was to embarrass or anger his new Dom. Thankfully, Mister Kurt took pity on him, and set out clothing for both him and his daughter. Don't think, Blaine said to himself. Just relax…Mister Kurt won't let anything happen to you…you're safe. He couldn't stop his jaw from dropping, however, when Mister Kurt emerged from his bedroom – the man was flawless. Blaine was once again in awe of the man he now belonged to – how did he manage to get this lucky?

Kurt knew Blaine was unsure about shopping, and he had a pretty good idea of the reasons why, but there was no way he was going to let Blaine wear his hideous hand-me-downs any longer. As a fashion designer, he simply couldn't allow it. He knew that their escapades would cause his sub stress, but he was hoping he would be able to keep it to a minimum. Once all 3 of them we're dressed and ready, he picked up Audrey and led Blaine out of the door and towards the subway station. He could feel Blaine tense behind him as soon as they left the building. He readjusted Audrey on his hip and turned to grab the younger man's hand flashing him a reassuring smile.

"S-sir?" Blaine asked, staining at their joined hands with wide eyes. Kurt just smiled and ran his thumb over the back of Blaine's hand in lew of a response.

If Blaine was confused before, that was nothing to how he was feeling now. Why was Mister Kurt holding his hand? He had never held someone's hand before...except for Mama's, or when he was being drug somewhere. But Mister Kurt wasn't being rough or demanding...it was nice. But what would people think? Surely Mister Kurt wouldn't want to be seen holding the hand of someone as useless as him? No, he couldn't allow for people to think poorly of Mister Kurt! He pulled his hand from within Kurt's, stuttering his apologies.

Once on the train, Kurt went over his mental list of what they needed to purchase: a couple of more outfits for Audrey, and clothes for Blaine - both casual and dressy. He figured they would start with clothes for Audrey; he knew Blaine would have an easier time finding things for his daughter rather than himself. Might as well ease him into it, right?

Upon arriving at Babesta, Blaine could hardly believe his eyes - everything he saw was absolutely beautiful. What were they doing here? Didn't Mister Kurt know Audrey was a sub...Blaine already owed him so much, and this place looked really expensive. There was no way he was going to be able to ever repay Mister Kurt for his kindness. As much as he had wanted to stare, he knew what was expected of him; so he kept his eyes lowered and his hands behind his back, following behind the older man and his daughter. As he watched Mister Kurt scour the racks, pulling out various items for his daughter, Blaine could not stop the memories from flooding in.

Even though Master had wanted a son, Blaine could tell that he was in love with Audrey when she was first born. He doted on her, and loved her. Blaine was relieved that he had been able to make Master so happy...finally he had done something right. For 3 months life was wonderful. Master had loved on Audrey. He bought things for her, and helped care for her. He was even nicer to Blaine right after Audrey was born. There was absolutely no doubt that Audrey would be marked a Dom.

Everything changed once Audrey received her marking, however. Blaine was the first to see it, and he couldn't believe his eyes. How had Audrey been marked a sub? He had done everything right...he'd eaten the right foods, done all of the exercises, taken the vitamins...everything to ensure a Dominate child. And yet, the marking never lied. His heart broke - Master was going to be so furious. Blaine had spent the rest of the day making sure everything was perfect for when he returned home from work, he only hoped he would be able to draw some his Master's wrath away from his daughter. Blaine couldn't bear it if she was to be hurt. Fortunately, Master did not fault Audrey for her marking - it was Blaine's fault...like always; he couldn't do anything right.

After Audrey was marked, everything to worse for both Blaine and his daughter - the beatings, the names...everything. He was in a constant state of punishment, atoning for not producing a Dominate heir. Master completely lost interest in Audrey after that day, and went through his days ignoring the baby, simply waiting for the day she could be sold to a SubHouse.

The young father learned very quickly that anything he needed for his daughter was not free...it either needed to be earned, or paid for. Master had made it very clear that Blaine was responsible for everything Audrey needed. And so Blaine paid...in the only currency he had - his body. Not that it mattered really...his body wasn't his own anyways. But Master made it very evident that Blaine owed him, increasing his already insurmountable debt – the same debt that was already accruing with Mister Kurt.

"Blaine..." Kurt said quietly, "What do you think of this?" He held up a dress that caught his eye.

Blaine lifted his eyes to the item Mister skirt was holding. It was stunning. He knew Audrey would look absolutely magnificent in it. But he couldn't let Mister Kurt spend more money...he already owed him so much. "I-it's beautiful, Sir," he replied, "P-please, Mister Kurt. S-she doesn't need any of this..." He kept his eyes down, and prayed Mister Kurt would understand. "Sir...you've already given her so much. Please...please don't go to any more trouble for us, Sir. Please don't spend your money on us. We don't deserve any of it, Sir"

Kurt shouldn't have been surprised by Blaine's imploring; he could feel the younger man getting increasingly tense as they made their way through the store. Blaine and Audrey had only been with him for a day...he knew it would take a long time for Blaine to heal and to trust him, but it seemed like they had made some progress. Blaine just seemed so desperate. He would do anything to keep him from feeling that way. He liked to dote on the ones he loved, and Audrey and Blaine needed things of their own. He swallowed down his tears, and simply placed 2 fingers under the smaller man's chin and forced his face upward, trying to not be disappointed not only when Blaine flinched at the initial contact, but also when he did not meet Kurt's gaze. "Shh...Love," he reassured, "You have nothing to worry about. Remember what I told you? I LOVE spending money on you and Audrey. You owe me nothing. There are no debts to repay, nothing to earn. I'm not going to keep a tally...I am happy, and I want to spend my money in you. Clothes and such are not something you need to earn for yourself or Audrey. Please...please let me, Beautiful...just let me take care of you." Blaine did look into his eyes then...searching for something. Finally he nodded. "Thank you, Beautiful. I promise. No debts, no repaying, no guilt...alright?"

Blaine didn't quite believe what he was hearing. Things weren't ever just given to him. Ever since he had been marked nothing had been freely given...everything was either earned or given at a price. So as much as Blaine wanted to believe Mister Kurt, he couldn't stop himself from mentally calculating and logging every thing that was placed in their basket for his daughter - beautiful things he would have only ever dreamed of buying her.

Satisfied with Blaine's acknowledgement, Kurt continued to make his way through the store. He didn't expect Blaine to simply start taking items off the rack, so he would pull different outfits and ask for his opinion instead. As it turns out, Blaine liked everything Kurt chose...or at least he told Kurt he had liked the various outfits Kurt had pulled. The older man began to wonder if Blaine was simply agreeing with Kurt, not actually voicing his opinion, so he pulled a completely appalling dress off the rack to show to the submissive.

"What about this one, Bee?" He asked, watching the smaller man. As with each previous item, Blaine lifted his eyes from their downcast position to the item in question, but instead of lowering them once more, his gaze held the dress a little longer. Kurt could tell instantly Blaine disliked the dress, and he could see the sub struggle with what to say.

"Um...i-it's n-nice, Mister Kurt" he whispered.

"You sure?" Kurt probed, eyeing the submissive carefully.

"Um maybe, if...um, i-if it's ok...can...can we not-t get it, Sir?" Blaine answered, cowering slightly. What was he doing? Disagreeing with a Dom? Bad! Bad, sub! When he saw Mister Kurt's eyes widen, he began stammering, "I-I mean, i-it's...we...I'm sor-"

"Oh, thank god!" Kurt exclaimed throwing the dress back on he rack, "I was afraid you were going to say you liked it...or at you weren't going to be able to ask to not get it just because I liked it." Kurt massaged Blaine's head and placed a kiss to his cheek.

Blaine relaxed as Mister Kurt's praise settle into his chest, but he couldn't help the blush that warmed his face when the older man kissed his cheek.

"But this thing is hideous! Bleh!" Kurt continued, pulling a giggle from both Blaine and Audrey. "You've got good taste, Beautiful."

"T-thank you, Sir," Blaine replied. He let Mister Kurt lead him through out the store, and offered his opinion when asked, but he didn't pick anything himself...that is until he saw a beautiful outfit - a pink onesie with a denim vest over top that was paired with a pink frilly, sparkly tutu topped off with brown Ugg type boots. Blaine was instantly drawn to it – it seemed perfect for his little princess. He couldn't stop himself from reaching out just to touch it.

Kurt knew he was rambling as he and Blaine walked through the store. He stopped short though, when he noticed Blaine eyeing a particular outfit. "Do you like that, Bee?" He asked softly.

Blaine immediately withdrew his hand, his face flushed in embarrassment - he'd been caught. "Um...I-I I don't know, Mister Kurt...w-what do you think?"

"I think it's beautiful...the perfect outfit for a princess" Kurt replied, "What a wonderful choice." He could see Blaine physically relax, and he shot Kurt a genuine smile. "Ok...so how about we get these things, and head on out?" He headed towards the register once Blaine nodded his consent. He knew they still needed clothes for Blaine, but he didn't want to cause Blaine any more stress. Then an idea hit him, and once their items were purchased, and Audrey was wrapped in her new sling, they made their way to his storefront, V on 5th.

Blaine's confusion rose once more as he followed Mister Kurt into a store off 5th Avenue. The clothes displayed in the window were the most beautiful he had seen the entire day, but…it didn't look open. Mister Kurt, however, did not seem to notice as he sauntered into the half-dark store and made his way towards the back.

Kurt sighed as he made his way through his "almost finished" store front, feeling completely at peace. "Okay, Bee…" he began, sensing Blaine's confusion, "This is my store…and I figured why not come get you some clothes here? I know you're still apprehensive about letting me buy you things…but this way, I won't have to, and you'll still have some fabulous looking clothes…if I do say so myself." He added with a wink.

"Y-your store, Sir?" Blaine asked, "What do you mean?"

"Yes, Bee…mine. I mean…these are my clothes. I'm a fashion designer…so…I created all of the clothes you see…" he motioned to the various racks and mannequins. "And I think I have just the pieces that will look fabulous on you." Blaine nodded and followed Kurt further into the store.

Fashion designer…that would explain why Mister Kurt always looked impeccable, Blaine thought to himself. He couldn't imagine what he had done to be deserving of his beautiful Dom. His admiration only increased as Mister Kurt placed item after item on Blaine – each piece more stunning than the last. An hour and a half later, Blaine couldn't believe the pile of clothes Mister Kurt had insisted he take home. He had never had so many clothes in his entire life, and never anything so magnificent. What had he done to deserve this kindness? It made so much sense that Mister Kurt was in fashion; he was simply the most beautiful man Blaine had ever had the privilege to see. Blaine had never felt so honored to be in the presence of a Dominate, and he had never felt so cherished and loved as when Mister Kurt touched him, or kissed him, or when he took the time to ensure each of Blaine's clothes fit him perfectly…simply astonishing. Blaine could feel himself falling for Mister Kurt with each passing moment – feelings he knew he had no right feeling, but feelings he couldn't stop.
