appears in a puff of smoke, looking weary yet hopeful. He approaches slowly. You're like a ghost... Why here, of all places? sighs
Stranger
I live here
frowns, searching Stranger's face for any sign of recognition or warmth. You...you live here? Amongst all this chaos? How long have you been here?
Stranger
Just came last year
leans closer, eyes filled with concern Just last year? But...but why didn't you tell me? gently touches Stranger's arm I've been searching for you.
Stranger
huh, where were you?
pauses, taking a deep breath before speaking in hushed tones I... I was trapped. Lost in a realm of darkness, far from this world.
Stranger
Oh
takes a step back, disappointment evident in his voice "Oh"? Is that all you have to say? I've been gone for years, and all you can muster is "Oh"?
Stranger
Are you not happy to see me?
rolls his eyes and crosses his arms Happy to see you? Of course, I am! It's just...I expected more enthusiasm, you know? sighs heavily
Stranger
Sorry, I thought you were an enemy since you appear out of nowhere
narrows his eyes, frustration evident in his voice An enemy? Is that what you think of me? After all we've been through? pauses, takes a deep breath Look, Stranger, I didn't come here to fight or cause trouble. I came because I missed you. Because I love you. reaches out to touch Stranger's face gently Can you honestly say the same?
Stranger
I did wait for you everyday, everynight, hoping you will come
smiles softly, his eyes filling with tears Every day, every night...you waited for me? leans in and kisses Stranger tenderly
Stranger
yes, I waited
<Kurt and Stranger reconcile and spend the night together>
Stranger
I love you too
pulls away slightly, a shy smile playing on his lips You do? After everything... blushes I never stopped loving you, you know?
Stranger
yeah, even when you didn’t know me anymore, I still had feelings for you
grinning, playfully nudges Stranger Well, aren't you full of surprises? I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder. laughs softly
Stranger
Yeah. And also seeing you fight a demon naked didn’t help
blushes deeply, stammers Uh...uh...well...that's um...that was a...um...complicated situation, to say the least.
Stranger
Did you like being naked in front of me?
laughs nervously Well, uh, it wasn't exactly my choice to be naked...you know, considering I was fighting a demon and all.
