Fic: An Eye for An Eye (Makes the Whole World Mine)
Here's just a little something I wrote for tigriswolf on comment_fic.
Fandom: Glee
Pairing: Kurt/Blaine
Rating: PG-13
The second Blaine hits the ground, Kurt knows that this is a moment that he is never going to forget. The fact that Blaine pushed him out of the way... that Blaine stepped in to take an attack meant for him- The way Blaine's head snaps back when the contents of Sebastian's cup make contact - like he's been punched instead of slushied... are nothing compared to the way that Blaine curls up and writhes in pain. To the sounds that he makes as their friends flail uselessly, trying to figure out what the hell just happened, and the Warblers flee.
Blaine's voice was not made for making sounds of pain. For screaming or for cursing...
The second that Blaine hits the ground, Kurt knows that he's never going to forget... and when Blaine sobs, "Kurt!" and clutches at him because he can't see (Kurt's heart pounds and Blaine can't see...) Kurt knows that he's never going to forgive.
---
The moment Santana latches onto the idea of revenge, Kurt knows that he'll have to take care of this by himself. The rich and well-connected Warblers, Mr. Meerkat Face himself, may be able to get away with maiming people in parking garages, but Kurt doubts that any of the merry little band of misfits that is the New Directions would be so lucky.
What this situation calls for is subtlety... and Santana, touching though her outrage on Blaine's behalf may be, simply can't do subtle.
Kurt says a lot of pretty words about being the bigger person... he stops Santana from doing anything with the tape she made. He manages not to snap when she gives him a look that says, 'The HELL is wrong with you, Lady? That's your man sporting a fucking eye patch.' (Santana's dirty looks are very expressive.)
But it's still harder than it probably should be not to just track Sebastian Smythe down to the Lima Bean, order his Grande nonfat mocha extra scalding hot, and throw it into Sebastian's smirking face.
'Subtlety, subtlety, subtlety...' becomes Kurt's mantra, and it gets him through the next time he sees Sebastian in person. It gets him through waiting for Blaine to get out of surgery.
It gives him a moment to think of more creative ways to extract his pound of flesh than third-degree burns.
Kurt devises and discards a dozen plans for how to do the deed.
There are a lot of variables to consider.
He doesn't only want to not get caught... Kurt doesn't want anyone but Sebastian to even suspect that Kurt - or Blaine - had anything to do with his comeuppance. Most of Lima probably already looks at the both of them like they're some kind of sexual deviants. Kurt doesn't want anyone thinking of them as being violent sexual deviants at that.
Kurt also doesn't want to risk Sebastian's not knowing that it was Kurt when his vengeance has been taken. Kurt's read enough Poe to understand that Sebastian's knowing is key.
Kurt only thinks of backing out once. The more creative his plans get - the darker they seem to become, and Kurt seriously begins to scare himself with just how dark his thoughts can get when it's avenging his boyfriend's pain and suffering that's in question.
He sits with Blaine, they sing together, and then he asks, "You're alright with it... right? That I didn't let Santana turn in that tape?"
Blaine looks at him (through his one good eye) and doesn't even seem to need to consider it. He smiles, sincerely, and just the sweet, honest curve of his lips beneath his eye patch makes Kurt want to hurt Sebastian more than ever. "Of course!" Blaine says. "You're absolutely right, Kurt. There's nothing to be gained from stooping to Sebastian's level."
'Oh, but Sebastian and I aren't nearly on the same level, Sweetie,' Kurt thinks of saying. Instead he smiles and kisses Blaine's lips.
And doesn't think twice about his actions again.
---
The day Sebastian goes blind in his right eye, word spreads pretty quickly.
It's the kind of freak accident people can't help but talk about because what if it happened to them? No one (who doesn't have access to Sebastian's texts to Blaine's phone) even knew that Sebastian wears contacts. And it must make for interesting conversation for a time - trying to figure out how that got into Sebastian's contact solution.
Kurt hears that his fellow Warblers heard him screaming from all the way down the hall as Jeff tried to help him flush out his eye and Trent called for help.
Kurt does an impressive job of keeping his face blank as he tells Blaine the news and then returns Blaine's Dalton blazer to it's home in the back of Blaine's closet while Blaine is sleeping.
