Summary: Blaine Anderson is an A-list movie star, struggling to get through the chaos of his life. He’s been caught stumbling drunk from countless bars, barely escaped a charge of drug possession, and is now on his way to losing everything. But a huge contract for a highly anticipated movie could turn his life around and help him get back on track. However, when he hires a new personal stylist by the name of Kurt Hummel, he finds it even more difficult to concentrate on recovery. Kurt gets under his skin, irritating him immensely. But as he tries everything to get rid of Kurt, he finds himself growing closer to this man than he ever thought he would.
They're silent for a moment; their faces are a little too close together, and neither of them dares to move until Blaine speaks, his eyes flickering across Kurt's face, lingering just a bit longer on his lips.
"Why are you doing this?" he asks, and his voice is barely above a whisper. "I thought you hated me."
