Blaine is a man of few words. Not because he wants to be, but because he can't afford not to. In his world, each word brings you closer and closer to your demise. Once you surpass 1,000, speaking becomes fatal. Blaine only has twenty-four words left, and he plans to keep it that way. Of course, that's only until he meets a certain tall, handsome man. AU

Never in his life could Raffin pinpoint something he could not explain through research and logic. Except, of course, his sudden desire to kiss his best friend.
