A Blind World Chpt. 15

[ruddiestbubbles]

Something's, no matter how bad or good, bring you and your significant other closer.


Kurt tightened his grip on the reigns as he chuckled nervously, glancing over at his adorable boyfriend who looked much more comfortable atop a horse.

"Just stay calm cutie, getting worked up isn't gonna get you anywhere." Zisteau teases, laughing at Kurt.

"I just don't know if I like this...."

"Once you get the hang of it, is actually alot of fun, gives you a sense of freedom." He says as he guides his horse a little closer to his lovers, which only makes him more nervous.

Zisteau gently takes Kurt's hands, letting the reigns fall slack. "Just relax, the horse will do most of the work. Its trained to follow the others."

"Just promise me we'll never do this again?"

Zisteau chuckles. "That's like promising I'll never kiss you again, because it's bound to happen."

Kurt just rolls his eyes and tries to relax, though he found it difficult. "Anyway, how long will we be staying in Dawnsten?"

"We'll be there today and tonight, but we'll have to leave tomorrow afternoon."

"You know, this is the first time I've left the kingdom..."

"Really?"

"Yeah, its really beautiful out here." Kurt says, looking at the forest they were riding through with awe.

"Yeah, but I know what's more beautiful." Zisteau says gently, his eyes meeting Kurt's, which held an incredulous look. "I know you don't see it Kurt, but you, you are the most beautiful thing in this whole world."

Kurt blushed deeply, glancing at his hands briefly before meeting Zisteau's blue-green eyes, which portrayed so much love. "I...uh..." Was all he could manage to say before giving up.

Zisteau chuckled, a huge smile plastered on his face. This was honestly the happiest he'd been in quite a while. And, he was very thankful for that, especially since it was Kurt that was with him, making him happy. He couldn't imagine being without Kurt now, he didn't want to even think about it. Though, there was one thing that was always in the back of his mind, nagging him. The heart disease he may have. He didn't want to have it, not just for the sake of himself, but for Kurt's sake. He couldn't image how badly that would affect him too. But, he shoved those thoughts aside, trying to savor the happiness of this moment.


A while later, the beautiful kingdom of Dawnsten appeared on the horizon, and Zisteau was rather happy about it. As much as he liked riding horses, after a couple hours, it just isn't the most comfortable thing ever. Once they reached the entrance to the castle they were very thankful. Zisteau got of off his horse and helped Kurt off of his as well. They followed Guude and Bdubs into the big, amazing castle, and they were greeted by King Pause and Queen Andrea.

"Ah Guude, my old friend, how have you been?" Pause asks, grinning brightly.

"It's been a rough month, but I'm doing ok now." Guude replies.

"Oh right, my condolences."

Guude nods. "Thank you."

"Now who is this?" He gestures to Bdubs.

"Ah, this would be Bdubs, my partner."

"Oh?" Pause raises an eyebrow. "Never knew you swung that way, would've gone after you myself." He teases, which earns a half hearted glare from his wife.

Guude chuckles. "And I'd like you to meet my son, Zisteau, and his partner, Kurt."

"Like father like son, eh?"

"Its a pleasure to meet you, King Pause." Zisteau says.

"Uh.... Yes... It's nice to meet you..." Kurt says nervously.

Pause laughs. "No need to be so nervous, or formal, its cool to be chill around here."

Zisteau smiles, giving Kurt's shoulder a gentle squeeze.

"Well we have stuff to attend to, so you two love birds can explore the town, the castle, whatever you'd like. Just don't have too much fun." Pause says with a wink, directed at Kurt and Zisteau.

"I uh... Right..." Kurt rambled out, causing everyone to laugh.

"Come on cutie. We'll be back after a while, dinner time, I presume?"

"Yes."

Zisteau takes Kurt's hand in his own and they make their way out of the castle and into the town that surrounded. They got quite a few smiles and waves. They also saw something that made them question everything. They saw a gay couple walking the streets hand in hand, much like themselves.

"I thought this type of thing was wrong." Kurt says quietly to Zisteau.

"Same."

"Do you think is allowed here?"

"That would explain Pause being okay with this."

"Huh. I wish it were like this back home."

"Me too."

They wandered around for a while before finding a nice spot, that was relatively quiet and void of others, and sat down.

"Kurt... There's something I wanted to talk about." Zisteau started nervously. He knew they needed to discuss this, even though he didn't want to.

"Ok..."

"It's about the whole heart disease thing. I haven't had the tests yet, but they are scheduled for when we get back home. I just.... I just want you to know that no matter what, I love you. And even if I do have it, that I'll do my best to make our time together the best that it can be."

"Zisteau... Don't talk like that.... You'll be fine... We'll be fine...."

"I want to believe it Kurt, but I'm just stating the facts. It's a very good possibility that I could have it, as much as I wish it weren't true."

"I know... But just stay positive, for me?"

"I'm trying Kurt, I really am."

"I know, and I love you for it."

Zisteau smiled at Kurt, the pure love he felt for the other portrayed in his blue-green eyes. "I love you too." He says, leaning in to kiss Kurt, loving the way Kurt kissed back instantly, and the way his arms hesitantly wrapped around his waist. He deepened the kiss, letting his fingers tangle in Kurt's brown hair as he was tugged closer.

Eventually, after what felt like forever, they pulled away, both breathless, but neither could care. Zisteau brought Kurt close, pressing his face into the crook of his neck, taking a deep breath, the smell was intoxicating, and made Zisteau feel like he could he could get high off of that alone. "I wish it could always be like this." He murmured, his lips brushing against Kurt's neck, causing him to shudder.

"Me too, Zisteau, me too." Was Kurt's reply as he hugged Zisteau impossibly close.

After a long time, the two headed back to the castle hand in hand, both having small smiles on their faces. When they get back, the castle had been transformed into a place an elegant ball would be held, and the feast being prepared smelled simply amazing.

"Welcome back guys!" Pause says cheerily. "I had the servants set up a room for you, its on the second floor, first door on the right. Figured you might like to get around for the ball."

"Thank you, we shall be back down shortly."

The two head to the room, which was really nice, and got around, both looking dapper in their dress clothes.


A long while later, after dinner, Zisteau and Kurt danced with the rest of the guests, laughing and smiling. At that moment, in which a song starts playing, slow and majestic, Zisteau's eyes landed on Kurt, and he was awe struck. Of course he knew Kurt was beautiful, but at this moment, he was the most beautiful and perfect thing in the world, and he just couldn't believe he was lucky enough to have him, to be able to call him his.

"I love you Kurt, so so much." Zisteau says quietly, caressing his cheek.

"I love you too, Zisteau, always." Was Kurt's quiet reply as his gaze held Zisteau's.

Both were so I love, both had fallen head over heels for each other and they hadn't even meant for it to happen. But here they were, in each others arms, and they couldn't have been any happier. As the song slowly came to an end, the two kissed, bringing each other impossibly close. Eventually, Kurt pulled away, short of breath.


After saying goodnight to Guude, Bdubs, Pause, and Andrea, Kurt and Zisteau made their way to their room. Zisteau pulled off his shirt, and stretched, tired from the long day. He was surprised when Kurt started kissing him, though he couldn't complain. He kissed back, slipping his hands under Kurt's shirt, loving the way Kurt shuddered. He broke the kiss, pulling Kurt's shirt off. He kissed a bruise into the soft skin of Kurt's collarbone before trailing kisses up his neck and kissing him deeply again.

He carefully pushed Kurt down onto the bed, trailing kisses down his bare chest, causing him to moan, which snapped Zisteau's mind back to reality. He pulled back, knowing he'd gone too far. But when Kurt pulled him back towards him, he was surprised.

"Kurt....?"

"Zisteau... I've-I've been waiting too long... And you've been ever so patient with me... And I-I want this... Zisteau... I want you..." Was Kurt's rambled reply.

"Your-your sure?"

"Yes Z..... Please."

Zisteau nodded and moved to kiss Kurt as he was tugged down, the kiss deepening.


Pale early morning light shone through the windows, a peaceful feel in the air as Zisteau awoke. He felt warm, happy, with Kurt in his arms, and Kurt's head on his chest. Kurt looked so peaceful, so relaxed, like he didn't have anything to worry about. Last night, was obviously amazing, but had brought them closer. As he watched his beautiful lover sleep peacefully, one thought crossed his mind; one day I will marry you Kurt, I promise I will.
