A Blind World

Chapter 4

"Why do you like stars so much?" Zisteau asks, glancing sidelong at the beautiful boy beside him.

Kurt smiled sheepishly, scooting closer to Zisteau. "They are unique and beautiful. They shine so brightly even though they are so far away."

Zisteau glanced at the sky, which was so beautiful and amazing, then back to Kurt, who was so much more beautiful than the night sky could ever be. He brushed some hair out of Kurt's face, a small smile on his face. "Nothing could be more beautiful than you, Kurt."

A light blushed colored Kurt's cheeks. "I.... uh...."

Zisteau chuckled, throwing an arm around the thinner boy and gently squeezing. "I'm really glad you invited me tonight."

"... Me too...."

"You know, I could be in so much trouble for this."

Kurt suddenly looks really worried. "I... I'm sorry, Zisteau...."

"Hey." Zisteau says gently. "There's no need to be sorry. I'm the one who kissed you."

"But I kissed back..."

"Kurt, listen. I really, really like you. And I don't care what my Father or Mother will say."

"But.... won't they not allow you to see me?"

"Hmm maybe. But what if I don't tell them? Why should they need to know."

"Your willing to risk everything.... for me?" Kurt asks incredulously.

"I am." Zisteau replied, staring into Kurt's blue-red eyes, which were full of surprise.

Kurt laid his head on Zisteau's chest, cuddling up against his side. Zisteau took a deep breath, loving how Kurt smelled, it was intoxicating. How had he been stupid enough to not see how attracted he was to Kurt right away. They laid there, in each others arms, for a long while, just enjoying each others company. It wasn't until Zisteau felt like he would fall asleep that they moved away from each other.

"I better be getting home." Zisteau says sadly.

"Yeah..." Kurt replies, scratching the back of his neck.

"I actually have a surprise for you tomorrow."

"Oh?"

"Meet me by the park after lunch."

"Alright." Kurt says, bitting his lip, his eyes flicking between Zisteau's eyes and lips.

Zisteau smiled, bring the other closer and kissing Kurt softly. It felt so right, but he knew it was oh so wrong. He placed his hands on Kurt's hips, gently tugging him closer, which earned a surprised gasp. He deepened the kiss as he felt Kurt's hands tangle in his long blond hair. Zisteau finally pulled away, however reluctantly. He rested his forehead against Kurt's, who was smiling widely. Zisteau couldn't keep the smile off of his face either. He saw something new in Kurt's eyes. It was no longer sadness and longing, but happiness and love. It made Zisteau heart feel all the more light.

"I'll.... see you tomorrow Kurt." Zisteau says.

"Yeah...."

Zisteau stepped back, rather reluctantly, and started walking away, though he did glance back and saw Kurt staring after him, a look of bliss on his face, which Zisteau found adorable. Zisteau continued back to the castle, a smile plastered on his face.

He reached the castle a while later. It was long into the night at that point, but Zisteau couldn't care less. He had gone from a straight prince who followed the rules, to a gay prince who was being a rebel. That's a lot to take in, but he couldn't be happier. He headed up a bunch of steps and to his room, where a fire was already lit. He changed into his pajamas and sat on the floor in front of the fire.
