His words hit them like physical blows, but somehow they hurt so much worse. Kurt's stomach drops right through them, blood turning ice cold in their veins, breath stabbing their lungs. They're not special? They weren't the first one..? No... No, that can't be true, that doesn't make any sense. Corrigan would've told them, right? If not him, then Naseer, or Kai, or Leo, or poor Benji, they wouldn't just all lie to them like that. Kurt is their first and only mate, that's... it has to be the case. That's what they told them. They wouldn't lie to them.
Miles would. He must have every reason to lie, to say things just to scare them or hurt them. He's an outsider with a grudge! He scared them, he tricked them, he hurt Benji! Why wouldn't he be a liar too?
Except... he says it with the utmost confidence. The words leave him so easily, like he's speaking from experience. Like he too would cast mates aside when he was part of the pack, discarding their broken toys for others to play with. Like he too was once cast aside.
"... y-you're lying." They say that, but the words ring hollow, their throat closing up, eyes burning. Without thinking, Kurt wraps an arm protectively around their belly. "They w-wouldn't... I'm not a wh-whore," they cringe, the word painful on their tongue, "I'm their mate. They wouldn't d-do that!"
