Summary: Kurt is shocked to discover how Blaine has been paying the rent... (inspired by this tumblr post)



'Blaine?' Kurt called, his voice strangled as he stared, shocked, at the images in front of him.

'Yeah?' Blaine responded, wandering through from the kitchen. 'What is-oh shit,' he said, seeing what Kurt was holding.

'How did you...? Why did you...? Did you think you could hide this from me?' Kurt stuttered, staring at him, awestruck.

Blaine scrunched his nose up in embarrassment. 'Maybe? I mean, why do you even have that magazine?'

Kurt flushed. 'I...it was for...Never mind that!' he suddenly snapped. 'This is about you and your secret life,' he said, waving the magazine wildly. 'I mean, I wondered where you suddenly got rent money from last month, but I never thought...this.'

'C'mon Kurt,' Blaine said, calmly, 'is it really that bad? If you think about it?'

Kurt sputtered.

'Look, this woman approached me when I was playing at the cafe and said I had the "look" they were going for. I wasn't having a great time of it and they were offering good money. It's not like I plan to make a career out of it, but once in a while, to pay the bills, it's hardly a big deal.'

'It...I...' Kurt slumped against the couch, staring wordlessly at Blaine. Carefully, Blaine made his way over to the couch and settled next to him, smoothing out the magazine and laying it across Kurt's knees. 'I suppose it's not so bad,' Kurt muttered at last. Sitting up, he leant into Blaine's body as they contemplated the spread in front of them. 'You look quite good in that one,' Kurt added, pointing to one of the pictures.

'Hmm, I think that one's my favourite,' Blaine responded, pointing to a photo on the opposite page. Gently, he tilted his head to rest against Kurt's. 'You never said,' he murmured, 'why do you have a knitwear catalogue?'

Kurt flushed. 'I kind of...have a thing for knitwear models,' he said quietly.

'Clearly,' Blaine murmured, smiling crookedly at him. 'Because of the layers?'

Kurt smiled, tilting his face up for a kiss. 'Because of the layers.'
