AN: I have a couple more chapters written and I will post one a day. Don't expect it for long. I am really bad at consistent posting. Enjoy the chapter and please review.
Chapter 7
A couple hours later, Kurt stirs awake at the sound of his phone. Blearily reaching over, he picks it up and looks at the screen. New message from Finn.
'Comin home 4 clothes. Need help. Be there n 5'
Kurt raises an eyebrow at Finn's spelling but decides to help anyways. Rolling over, he starts waking Blaine up.
"Blaine, honey, time to get up. Finn's going to be here in a few minutes." Blaine opened his eyes slowly and stretched out, yawning loudly. He rolled his head and smiled over at Kurt.
"Hi baby. Naptime over?" He asked, starting to sit up and smooth out the wrinkles in his clothes.
Kurt watched him, smile on his face at how adorable Blaine looked. His bed-head was quite uncontrollable. "Yeah. Finn is coming back for clothing help. So you may want to get yourself looking presentable."
Kurt moved over to his mirror and fixed his hair while Blaine sat up in the bed, still looking a little confused. Both boys startled at the sound of the front door slamming.
"Kurt? You here, dude? I need help." Finn came running up the stairs and burst into Kurt's room. "I totally forgot about some anniversary or something and I need something nice to wear. Help?" Finn looked pleadingly at Kurt before taking in the room and the still in-bed Blaine. "I-um I didn't interrupt anything right? Don't tell me. I'll just be waiting in my room. Good to see you Blaine."
Finn backed out of the room, looking as if he had caught the two having sex. Blaine and Kurt met each other's eyes and started laughing.
"What was that about?" Blaine wondered, slightly bewildered at Finn's reaction to the sight of them.
Kurt smiled as he crossed over to Blaine and ran his hand through Blaine's curls. "You kind of have a post-sex disheveled hair look going on right now." Blaine's hands flew up to his hair and Kurt laughed. "You fix that and then come help me with Finn. I think I might need backup with picking out an outfit for him."
Blaine, still trying to tame his hair, looked over at Kurt as Kurt started leaving the room. "I'll be there soon. Remember what we've been talking about."
Kurt flushed and nodded, quickly exiting the room and going down the hall to Finn's. Entering, he saw shirts and pants strewn across all available furniture. Finn stood in front of him wearing a pair of long shorts with holes at a knee and a grey button up. "Help?"
Kurt sighed as he crossed the room. "What on earth…Finn, you need something nice to wear right? Shorts, not nice." Kurt began picking through some of the clothes on Finn's bed. Blaine slipped into the room and took in the damage. He began poking around the clothes on Finn's desk.
"I'm taking her to dinner at the fancy Italian place with the candles and stuff. I thought this shirt would be nice enough for there." Finn gestured down at himself, looking overwhelmed.
"Really Finn? You thought shorts and that shirt was fancy. Did you even look in a mirror?" Kurt gave Finn an incredulous look. Blaine glanced over at Kurt and raised one finger, giving him a look. Kurt flushed and cleared his throat before backtracking a bit. Finn remained oblivious, as he was looking down at some clothes he had pulled from his closet.
"I suppose that shirt is good enough. Do you have any nice pants you can wear with it? And maybe a tie?" Kurt questioned, trying not to be offensive even as he suppressed a shudder as he pulled a Hawaiian print shirt out of the pile. Tossing it aside, he glanced at Blaine and saw he was watching Kurt. Kurt looked down before glancing back at Finn.
Finn held up a pair of jeans he had pulled from the floor. "Are these nice pants?"
Kurt rolled his eyes and took them from Finn. "These are jeans. Jeans are not pants. And they aren't very nice either. Are they even clean?" Kurt held them away from him as he observed a stain or two before dropping them back on the floor. Finn's face dropped along with the jeans.
Blaine cleared his throat. Kurt glanced over and Blaine held up two fingers. Kurt got a panicked look on his face, knowing from childhood that reaching three was never a good idea. He quickly pulled a pair of black pants out of a nearby clothes pile.
"Here. Try these and a black tie. I know you have one from Glee. Okay?" Kurt asked, steadily ignoring the stare at the back of his head that Blaine was doing. Finn looked at the pants and after a few moments, gave a big smile.
"Thanks dude! This is perfect. Rachel will be impressed." Finn started digging through his drawers and finally pulled out a slightly wrinkled black tie. Kurt grimaced but said nothing about its state.
"Yes, well, I should hope so. Now if you will excuse us, Blaine and I will be going back to my room. Have a good night with Rachel."
"Oh yeah, thanks Blaine. And I am staying over at Rachel's tonight so I'll see you tomorrow. Later." Finn began shoving clothes back into his closet and dresser as Kurt and Blaine left the room. Re-entering Kurt's room, Blaine shut the door behind Kurt and walked over to the bed. He picked up the paper with their rules written on it and gave it a glance.
"Hmmm." Blaine hummed out, handing the list over to Kurt before sitting on the bed. Kurt flushed, knowing what Blaine was implying and knowing just which rule he had been ignoring.
Kurt walked over and sat next to Blaine after putting the paper on his desk. "Sorry." He murmured, putting his head on Blaine's shoulder.
Blaine kissed the top of his head, quietly replying "I know. We'll talk about it when Finn leaves." Giving Kurt a quick hug, he reached over and grabbed a Vogue off of Kurt's night stand. "Now tell me, what do you think of the trends for this season?"
Kurt, grateful for the reprieve, quickly moved into a discussion about the colors of the current season and what they anticipated showing in the next season. They continued this discussion until they heard Finn call out "Later!" and slam the front door shut again.
Blaine put the magazine down and looked over at Kurt. Kurt looked down at his lap, not sure what to expect but knowing he didn't feel up to meeting Blaine's gaze.
Blaine sighed before starting. "That went better than I expected. Yes, you did make some semi-rude remarks but I know you held a lot in and I'm proud of you for that." Kurt looked up, surprised that he was getting praised. Blaine noticed and explained. "Baby, I know you can't just change everything in a day. Yes, I'm not really happy that I got to two, but you stopped after that and I know how…trying it is for you with Finn."
Kurt nodded a bit at that before giving a soft smile at Blaine. "So what does that mean?"
Blaine reached over and brushed Kurt's bangs back. "Had it stopped at one, this would be it. And be glad you stopped at two or you'd be going over my knee right now." Kurt flushed at this, equal parts scared and excited at the idea. Blaine continued, ignoring the red taking over Kurt's face. "As it is, I think standing in the corner and thinking about other ways you could have told Finn your opinion will be enough."
Kurt blushed even harder at those words but agreed, standing up and looking around before looking back at the ground. "Wh-where should I go?" Kurt stammered softly.
Blaine stood and walked Kurt over to an empty corner. Turning him so he had his nose in the corner, Blaine directed "Stay here until I call you out. Keep your hands at your side. No noise. If you speak or move, I start the time over. Got it?"
Kurt nodded, slightly shocked to find himself with his nose in the corner.
While he was glad that Kurt was going along with this without fighting, he had to be consistent. Blaine grabbed Kurt's chin and met his gaze. "I asked you a question. Remember how you are supposed to answer?"
Kurt flushed as his eyes met Blaine's. "Yes, Blaine. Sorry." He said quietly. Blaine nodded and turned Kurt back to facing the corner. Blaine then walked over to the bed and sat, staring at Kurt's back.
Kurt watched the wall, feeling all of two-years-old as he stood nose in the corner as his boyfriends gaze pierced his back. After a few minutes of standing there, the shock wore off and he was turning steadily redder as he considered what this would look like if anyone walked in. He felt the guilt and shame welling up and his eyes started tearing as he considered how he had been pushing Blaine to the point of having to do this. Within ten minutes of standing in the corner, he had a few tears going down his face and he felt both ashamed and relieved.
Blaine saw Kurt's shoulders hitch a bit and could hear him drawing in shaky breaths. While he wasn't happy his boyfriend was crying in the corner, he hoped that doing this would help him in the long run. Glancing at the clock, he saw about fifteen minutes had passed. Having decided on eighteen minutes of corner time, he continued staring at Kurt's back, counting down the time until he could comfort his boyfriend.
Kurt was calming a bit as he continued standing there. His legs were starting to get tired and he was pretty bored but at the same time, the feelings of guilt died the longer he stood there. Still, he really wanted to go back to having fun with his boyfriend. He shifted his legs a bit and continued standing there, still feeling Blaine's gaze.
Blaine walked over to Kurt as soon as the time was up. He grabbed Kurt and turned him around. After taking in the few tear stains, he pulled him in for a hug. Kurt grabbed him and buried his head in Blaine's shoulder. Relief spread through both boys as the contact established that they were still okay.
"All done now Kurt. You did really well. I forgive you and I'm so proud of you. My good boy." Blaine whispered reassurances into Kurt's ear. Kurt smiled, feeling the praise and forgiveness knock out all the feelings of guilt and shame.
He sighed into Blaine's shoulder and murmured. "I love you."
Blaine pulled back and said, "I love you too." He then pulled Kurt in for a kiss. "Now what are we going to do for the rest of the night?" He questioned, still holding Kurt in his arms.
"Can we do that date night we were supposed to do yesterday?" Kurt asked, smiling at Blaine.
"That sounds wonderful." Blaine pulled away and the two boys began preparing to go out.
So tell me what you think of the punishment. I know Kurt seems to be complying and he is, for now. We will get our bratty Kurt back soon, I promise. Please review. It makes my day.
