A Blind World

Chapter 5

"Why did you not tell me that it would cost so much?" Kurt questions as they walk a few paces behind Baj.

"Because I knew you'd refuse to let me buy them for you." Zisteau replies, glancing sidelong at Kurt.

"Oh....."

"Hey Baj." Zisteau says, catching the older mans attention.

"Yes, Zisteau?"

"Kurt and I are going to head to the park or something, can you inform my parents that I'm staying in the city for a while?"

"Of course. Enjoy your day." Baj says before walking away.

"You wanna head to that hill south of town?" Zisteau questions.

"Uh yeah... sure."

The two walk in a comfortable silence. It was nice, being able to walk with Kurt and just be with him. The weather was great, too, which was always nice. Once they reached the point where there weren't anymore people around, meaning that they reached the small path that lead through a small forest, Zisteau grabbed Kurt's hand, intertwining their fingers.

"Zisteau.... why did you get me glasses, really?" Kurt asks, glancing at Zisteau before blushing and looking away.

"I got them for you because I want you to be able to experience the world like its supposed to be, clearly. And I want you to be happy Kurt, I really do."

"I am happy... I mean I was before getting these too. All I really need is you.... Zisteau."

Zisteau smiles, giving Kurt's hand a gentle squeeze, which was returned. They continued on in silence till they reached the nice little hill. Zisteau sat across from Kurt, but close enough that he could reach out and caress his face. Kurt glanced at Zisteau again, but blushed and looked away.

Zisteau chuckled, caressing Kurt's cheek, causing Kurt to look at him. "What, can't look at me?" He teases.

Kurt blushes, but doesn't look away. "It's just... uh.... your so beautiful.... and I... I just.... don't feel like I deserve you...."

"Kurt." Zisteau starts gently. "You are beautiful and amazing. Don't disregard yourself. And you do deserve me, your so kind and sweet, and honestly all I could ever want." He finished, stroking Kurt's cheek with the pad of his thumb.

Kurt bit his lip as he leaned into the touch. Zisteau could tell just what this was doing to him. He leaned in, pressing their lips together, kissing him gently. One gentle kiss lead into another and another. He broke the kiss for mer seconds to reposition himself so he was on Kurt's lap. He trailed kisses down Kurt's neck and sucked a small bruise into the pale skin on Kurt's collarbone.

Zisteau pressed his lips back against Kurt's, kissing him deeply, not wanting to hold back anymore. He was thoroughly surprised when Kurt kissed back with a passion that seemed so uncharacteristic, but all the more alluring for it. He pulled away, reluctantly, and rested his forehead against Kurt's, breathing heavily. Blue-green gaze held blue-red as they both breathed heavily.

Zisteau wondered just how he'd fallen for the other boy so quickly. The thought scared him, that he could so easily get lost while with the other, yet here he was, on the others lap, staring into his eyes, and he felt like he never, ever, wanted to leave. Kurt's blue-red eyes made him feel calm, yet excited. Kurt's hands resting on his shoulders made him want those hands in other places.

But he knew all that was moving to fast. He knew that Kurt wouldn't be ready for something like that for a while. And Zisteau was ok with that, because he could wait. He always would. Zisteau nuzzled their noses together and placed a light kiss on Kurt's forehead. He didn't ever want to be away from Kurt, but he knew soon enough that he'd have to leave and go back to the castle, where he'd surely get yelled at for not talking with Mallisa today. But, he could handle it.

It wasn't until the sun started setting that Zisteau and Kurt had to leave. They walked to the edge of the forest, staying out of sight of prying eyes. Zisteau placed his hands on Kurt's hips, gently tugging him closer until they were chest to chest. He kissed Kurt gently, very unlike what they'd had earlier. After an impossibly long time, he pulled away.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" Zisteau said, less of a statement than a question.

"Yeah, I'd hope so."

"I'll see you tomorrow then red and blue."

Kurt smiled shyly. "Yeah..."

With that, Zisteau and Kurt headed their separate ways, one towards a castle, the other towards a run down, small house. Zistwau reached the castle just before eight. He knew he was late for dinner, but that didn't bug him, really, he'd had far too good a time with Kurt to care. He hadn't even made it to the middle of the entrance hall when Arkas approached him.

"King Guude would like to see you, Sire. He's awaiting you in his chambers."

"Thank you, I shall go right away." Zisteau responded.

He didn't even wait for Arkas to scamper off before he headed for his parents chambers. He knew that he was gonna probably get yelled at, but he didn't care. He approached the door and knocked, awaiting his fathers voice to give him entrance. He entered, closing the door quietly behind him. His father motioned to a seat, so he sat.

"Why didn't you talk with Mallisa today?" His father asked.

"I didn't happen to see her." Zisteau replies calmly.

"You spent the day with that boy, Kurt, didn't you?"

"I did indeed see him today."

"What is going on between you two?" He asks, a tiny bit of anger seeping into his voice.

"We're just friends." Zisteau answers.

"Really, cause I don't believe that!"

"What do you expect me to do? Anything I say you won't believe."

"Just go." He says, sounding ever so irritated.

"Fine." Zisteau says, sounding the same, and leaving the room.

He hated lying, especially to family, but he didn't want to be away from Kurt. He so wanted to be with him at all times. And, if that meant lying, then he was willing to do it. he headed to Baj's room. Baj had been his fathers friend for a long, long time, so he figured he might have some answers.
