"Where were you?" Kurt asked, reigning in his emotions and looking Blaine in the eyes. Blaine bit his lip, he really, really, didn't know how to answer that.

"You've been gone for five days, are you hurt, did you leave on your own, what in the world happened to you?"

"K-Kurt…I promise I'll e-explain l-later…but I'm r-really cold." His shivers only emphasized the point he was trying to make. Plus, a nice warm shower gave him time to think of an excuse. Kurt nodded feverishly

"Of course! Go take a shower, I'll lay out some of Finn's clothes on my bed and make you some hot chocolate." Blaine smiled gratefully and headed up the stairs to the bathroom. As he stood under the steaming water, he contemplated just telling Kurt the truth, sure, he'd sound like an absolute nutter, but maybe Kurt would believe him, it was better than lying to him after all. He got out and changed into Finn's clothes, the legs of the pajama pants needing to be rolled up a few times before he could walk properly. He headed downstairs where Kurt was waiting in the kitchen, mug in his hands. He handed it to Blaine and smiled.

"I'm go glad you're back. You scared me." Blaine smiled

"I'll tell you what happened…but I doubt you'll believe me." Kurt raised a brow

"Please, Blaine, really, I'm sure I've heard stranger things." Blaine laughed once, loud and sharp

"I'm not so sure about that…" then he sighed "what would you do if I told you I met a witch?" Something flashed in Kurt's eyes before a sly smirk pulled at his lips

"I'd ask you if she lived in the west…was she wicked?" Blaine shook his head

"I'm serious." Then that look was back in Kurt's eyes

"Then…I'd tell you that I believe you."

"Look, I know it sounds ridiculous but-wait…. what?" Kurt bit his lip

"I said…that I may believe you."

"Why?" Blaine asked skeptically.

"Explain first, then I will." Blaine nodded

"My car was making weird noises, so I stopped about a mile away from your house, I was about to call someone when some lady came up behind me, she started talking about how someone needed me, and how unobservant I was." He shook his head, completely missing the blush on Kurt's cheeks. "Then, she did…something and when I woke up…I was a dog?" he said the last part skeptically, like he wasn't sure he, himself could believe it. Kurt blanched

"You mean…you…and I…Buddy?" Kurt spluttered "I changed in front of you!" Blaine was half thankful that Kurt didn't instantly send him off to the nut house, and half wishing he'd rather be there than face Kurt's anger and embarrassment.

"I didn't look!" Blaine insisted, Kurt calmed down

"Could you understand me?" Kurt asked "when I spoke…could you understand it?"

"Yes." Kurt turned around and hid his face in his hands.

"No, no!" Blaine pulled his hands away from Kurt's face, which was bright red "Don't be embarrassed-"

"Why shouldn't I be, Blaine? Please, tell me. I've completely made a fool of myself!" Kurt frowned, a tear leaking down his face "and now you're laughing at me!" Blaine pressed his lips into a tight line

"No, I swear…it's just…you've got it all wrong, Kurt." he smiled tentatively "you absolutely did not make a fool out of yourself, I'm so glad you said what you said because if you hadn't…I probably wouldn't have realized that I felt the same until it was too late." Kurt's mouth hung open slightly, as he stared wide-eyed at Blaine

"You…you feel the same?" Blaine nodded

"Absolutely, completely, positively, yes." He said before pulling Kurt close and crashing their lips together. He felt Kurt melt beneath him and tightened the grip on his waist. And all Blaine could think was that this moment couldn't be better.

oOo

"Why did you believe me?" Blaine whispered as they lay on the couch

"I…the night you went missing…I had a dream, some lady was in it, talking to me." He sighed "she said that she knew all about me, knew what I felt…knew I was in t-trouble." He swallowed thickly "and said she'd send someone to help, to make it better…to love me." He smiled "I guess I understand now, because I sure as hell didn't when it was happening." Blaine laughed and laid his cheek on the top of Kurt's head.

"Y'know, I never thought I'd be so grateful for something that seemed so much like a curse." Kurt hummed in agreement, and Blaine pulled him closer, silently sending the gratitude he felt to the strange woman.

Thank you.
