Derby was driving down the road and having an intense conversation with Kyle in the front seat about whether or not Mario was the better brother or if Luigi was. Rachel and Maddie were sitting in the middle seats talking about living in New York.

And finally, Blaine and Kurt were sleeping in the back seat. Blaine drove until he felt too tired and woke up Rachel to take over for a few hours. Kurt had fallen asleep as soon as Rachel sat down, so they left him in the passenger seat and Blaine took Rachels spot.

The van stopped at a rest stop a few hours later and Rachel woke everyone up. They all went to the rest room and let Kurt and Blaine take the back seat because they both looked tired. Derby volunteered to take over driving for the time being.

Rachel giggled and then looked behind her, "Oh my gosh!" she squealed.

Maddie looked over her shoulder, "They look so sweet."

Blaine was unbuckled and leaning on the side of the van with his mouth slightly opened, with one of his arms under his head using it as a pillow. Kurt was leaning on Blaine with his head pillowed on Blaines arm. He had his legs tucked under himself and his arms wrapped around himself.

Rachel grabbed her video camera and turned it on them, "Here we have my brother and best friend cuddling. While I myself know that Kurt is an awesome cuddler, I havent cuddled with Blaine for years."

"Hes good," Derby said with a laugh.

Rachel turned her camera towards him, "Im sorry please repeat the statement once more saying that you have cuddled with my brother."

"Havent you ever seen that episode of Friends? Where Ross and Joey accidently fall asleep, it was like that," Derby shrugged, "Just one time. He always hates when I bring it up."

"I cant imagine why," Kyle said rolling his eyes. "And well wake them up later. I cant imagine how much fun it was driving at night and who knows if Kurt fell asleep on him."

"Probably not," Rachel said bringing her camera down in to her lap, "I hope they were able to talk."

"Why is that?" Maddie asked her.

Rachel sighed, "Its just Kurt had a couple of rough years in high school and I hope he can learn a thing or two from Blaine. I know Blaine went to Dalton, but he did start somewhere else before and that didnt go well. So I hope they are close enough to be friends."

"You are one sweet girl," Maddie said going back to her book, "And trust me. I think Blaine needs the same thing."

"Why is that?" Rachel asked her.

Kyle turned around to look at her, "Look, we know that he has Matt, but none of us like him."

Maddie cut in, "To be honest it didnt start that way though. He just seemed to turn into more of a jerk as time went on."

"I mean once he stood Blaine up because he said he had a paper to write," Kyle said with a shrug.

Rachel shrugged, "So?"

Derby looked at her in the rearview mirror, "Kyle and I went out that night to get our dinner, and we saw him out with his friends. We never told Blaine, we thought it would only make him all sad again."

"When was he sad?" Rachel asked confused. She suddenly felt bad for not calling as often as she should have over the past year.

Maddie reached over and touched her arm, "Oh sweetie you should have seen Blaine after him and Dirk broke up. He always talks about how they ended it mutually and all that shit, but it broke him for awhile. So he chose someone safe, hence him dating the math geek."

Rachel looked down, "I didnt know he was that broken up over it. He told us that he just needed a few days to think over everything and then he was fine again. I feel awful for not being there for him."

"I wouldnt feel too bad about it. He may have seemed fine, but he just doesnt want to admit it," Kyle said, "You know Blaines always been one to show his stronger side. He doesnt like being vulnerable in front of others."

"I know that," Rachel sighed, "After seeing him get beat up at his old high school, I was so scared for him. Then he went to Dalton and things sort of turned around for him. He was smiling more and got into music more. Thats when he started to become serious."

"Im dying to know about this Julliard thing," Derby said interrupting and changing the subject.

"Nope," Rachel laughed, "Thats a story for Blaine to tell. Besides I dont know half of the story, he never told me."

"Always keeping his secrets," Kyle smiled, "So Im starving, who has something to eat?"

"Here," Maddie threw him a bag of Cheetos. "Eat those."

Rachel pulled her phone out, "I need to get a picture now," she turned around and snapped a picture of them.

"You better delete that," Blaine mumbled sleepily without opening his eyes.

"Not likely," Rachel smiled and faced forward again.

They didnt hear Blaine again, so they figured he must have fallen back asleep. The group decided to let them sleep a bit longer. Maddie took over driving, while Derby took her spot next to Rachel.

"Hey, it says about a half hour before we get to L.A.," Kyle said looking at the GPS, "Might want to wake the sleeping twins in the back."

"I got it," Rachel said. She turned around and discovered that Blaine was now using his hoodie as a pillow instead of his arm. She smiled and took another picture, just in case. "Hey boys, its time to wake up," she said with a firm voice.

Kurt groaned and snuggled closer to Blaine, while the later was still sleeping.

"Come on, I know you two are excited to see the lights of Los Angeles," Rachel smiled. She unbuckled her seat belt reaching in the back and started to tickle them both.

Kurt shot up, "Rachel!"

Blaine laughed, "Alright, Im up. Im up."

"How long was I out?" Kurt asked rubbing his eyes and running a hand through his hair, "Oh yuck."

Rachel giggled, "You two have been snuggle sleeping for the past six hours or so on and off."

Kurt blushed as he scooted away from Blaine realizing how close they were. "Oh," he took his phone out his pocket, "Great, my dad text me like twenty times."

"Just tell him you were sleeping," Blaine said running his hand through his own hair, "Im sure hell understand. He will probably be happy you stayed up with me and made sure I didnt have us crash into anything."

Kurt nodded his head as he started typing out a message to his dad.

Rachel squealed, "Look!" She held up her camera to show the sign, "It says that Los Angeles is only twenty miles away now."

"Hey were you serious about this new song idea?" Maddie turned around to ask Blaine.

Blaine shrugged, "Maybe, we can think about it tonight and tomorrow. I really think we could use something different and new."

"Im with Babs on this one," Derby said turning around to look at him, "Besides it might be nice to do a song we havent rehearsed."

"Well maybe for the first round we do songs we are sure about," Kyle said as he turned a corner, "We should think logically about all of this. The prize is $10,000 for first place."

Kurt sat up straight, "Holy crap! It is?"

Blaine nodded, "Yeah, and then $5,000 for second place and $2,000 for third. Any money would be good. We need to get a new drum set for Derby and a new keyboard with a mixer on it."

"Wow," Kurt said with his eyes still wide, "I guess Rachel and I should join."

"Kurt that sounds-"

"I was joking Rachel," Kurt said giving her a stern look.

Rachel laughed, "I know you were."

"Sure you did," Kurt rolled his eyes. "Well I hope you win, so that you can buy your new instruments."

"Yeah," Blaine nodded his head, "Even with the $2,000 we could buy something. This is why I purpose we write a new song."

Derby, Maddie, and Kyle all groaned. "We said well talk about it later," Maddie stared at him through the rearview mirror, "Until then sit tight and patiently wait until we get to L.A."

"Ooo, Scary Maddie," Derby said pretending to be scared.

Maddie just gave him a look, which made him shut his mouth. The rest of the drive was filled with excitement though. Rachel couldnt stop talking and shoving her camera in everyones faces once again.

"And we made it!" Maddie shouted as she pulled into a parking spot at the hotel. "And thank you little machine that told us exactly where to go," she said patting the GPS system.

Kyle laughed, "I think you need sleep."

"In a bed," Rachel said with a nod of her head.

Derby opened the door and climbed out, "I can smell the ocean."

Blaine climbed out of the back seat, "You dork. You cant smell the ocean from here."

"I totally can," Derby smiled, "You can smell it right Kurt?"

Kurt took his time carefully getting out of the car and stood up straight stretching his arms over his head, "I dont think thats the ocean. I think we all need to shower."

"Fine," Derby shrugged, "Oh god, you are right. I smell like a monkeys ass."

Kurt wrinkled his nose, "I told you we all do."

Rachel hit his arm, "I doubt you or I smell that bad. Ive been with you while we were stuck in a bus with Puck for five hours, now that was a smell none of us could figure out."

"You are so right my dear," Kurt smiled as he took out his phone and started to text his dad again.

Blaine felt his phone vibrate in his back pocket, "Must be Papa calling about…shit."

Rachel peeked over his shoulder and saw it was his boyfriend calling him. "Just talk to him," she said waving a hand, "I swear you two get into more fights then Finn and I."

Blaine rolled his eyes at his sister, "Fine, will you check us in?" he handed her his wallet and hit send on his phone, "Hey Matty."

Kurt watched as Blaine walked away talking to his boyfriend. It was just another reminder he shouldnt get his hopes up even if they happened to talk to one another a majority of the night and fall asleep next to one another for hours.

"Want to come with me to check us in?" Rachel asked him.

"Sure," Kurt smiled as he followed Rachel inside of the building.

"Hello," the man behind the desk said with a small smile, "How can I help you this evening?"

"We would like to check in," Rachel said opening Blaines wallet and taking out the credit card, "My brother made a reservation under Anderson-Berry."

The man started typing on the keyboard and took the credit card, "Yes, two conjoining rooms, with two double beds and three adults in each. And for five nights, correct?"

"Yep," Rachel nodded her head.

"Alright," the man said as he turned around and grabbed some hotel keys. He swiped them and then handed everything over to Rachel. "These are for room 304 and for room 306. Your rooms are located on the third floor and just take a left once you step out of the elevators."

"Great," Rachel smiled as she took everything he handed to her. "Have a wonderful evening."

"You as well," the man said and went back to typing on the computer.

Kurt and Rachel walked back out and found Derby, Maddie, and Kyle looking in the opposite direction of Blaine who was pacing back and forth looking frustrated as he talked on the phone. "Whats wrong?" Kurt asked.

Derby just pointed over his shoulder, "Babs is yelling at the boy toy and it sort of made us uncomfortable."

"He keeps walking further away," Kyle said, "I cant imagine what they are talking about now. I wanted to get closer, but she said we shouldnt."

"It is none of our business," Maddie shrugged and turned to Rachel, "Did you get checked in?"

"I did," Rachel nodded, "We are on the third floor. Blaine must have found a deal for the five nights we are going to stay here."

Blaine reappeared treading heavily towards the van and threw open the back doors. He didnt talk as he started to grab the suitcases out. His face was straight, but they could all see it in his eyes. They looked hazy and he obviously didnt want to talk about it.

Kyle ran over to help him, "Here I got that one."

"Thanks," Blaine said quietly as he reached for his guitar. "Did you get us checked in Rach?"

Rachel nodded her head and held up the key cards, "I did."

"How about we each grab our bags and head in," Maddie said, "I know we all want to shower."

Everyone grabbed there own bags and they walked inside towards the elevators. Rachel hit the third floor button and they started moving upward. As the doors opened she walked out and turned left as the man behind the desk instructed her.

"Here we are," she said as she took out one of the keys and slipped it inside, hearing the lock click she opened the door. "Here are the keys to the other room."

"Thank you," Kyle snatched them and opened the door.

Maddie, Rachel, and Kurt went into the first room, while Kyle, Derby, and Blaine went into the second room.

"Wow," Rachel looked around, "Blaine did a pretty good job at picking a decent hotel."

Maddie walked over to the door that separated the two rooms and opened the door to discover that the boys had already opened theirs. "Im starving. Im making a McDonalds run. Anyone want to come?"

"Ill go," Rachel said grabbing her bag.

"Me too," Derby stood up, "They always mess up my order if Im not there."

Kyle rolled his eyes, "They always mess up your order because you ask for the most ludicrous sandwiches."

"You want to come?" Rachel asked Kurt.

Kurt shook his head, "No, I think Ill stay here. You know what I want?"

"Course I do," Rachel smiled and then she looked in the other room, "What about you oh dear brother of mine?"

"Im fine," Blaine said as he pulled out his guitar, "Just get me whatever."

"Just watch him," Maddie whispered to Kurt, "He seems to be in a bit of a mood now."

The four left and Kurt found himself standing in the middle of the doors. He didnt know if it would be alright to come into the room with Blaine.

Blaine strummed a few strings, "You can sit down if you want. You dont have to just stand there."

Kurt lifted an eyebrow, "Okay," he said as he walked over and sat down on the other bed. He wasnt sure if he could share a bed with Blaine right now.

"Can I ask you something?" Blaine asked out loud.

Kurt looked over at him, Blaine was still staring down at his guitar, "I suppose. We are at that point," he teased.

Blaine gave him a small smile, "You said youve never had a boyfriend before, but youve had crushes right?"

Kurt blushed, "I suppose."

"Okay," Blaine scooted over to the edge of the bed to be closer to Kurt, "Look Im not going to embarrass you or anything, and its just an honest question."

"Alright," Kurt said looking down at his hands.

"You realize when you like someone, you really like them," Blaine sighed, "And then they say no. Isnt that just a horrible feeling? How are you supposed to get over that?"

Kurt scrunched his face in confusing, "Wait, what are you talking about?"

Blaine groaned and then stood up to sit down next to Kurt, "I said that wrong. Say you have a crush on someone, but you realize the both of you are total opposites of the spectrum. Do you still keep the crush or just give them up?"

"Depends," Kurt shrugged.

"Depends on what exactly?" Blaine asked him.

Kurt tapped his finger on his knee, "Well heres the thing, when I had my crush on Finn, and dont you dare say anything right now, I think it was more the physical appeal. Now I dont go for just physical appeals anymore though, I think I grew and learned. I dont think I would have a crush on someone like Finn ever again."

Blaine nodded, "That makes sense."

"Is everything alright?" Kurt asked him. He didnt want to say the name or if it didnt have anything to do with Blaines boyfriend, he would feel silly.

"I think time heals all," Blaine reached over and grabbed his guitar.

"Could you play me a song?" Kurt asked with a smile.

Blaine looked over at him, "I think I can do that. Anything you want me to play?"

Kurt shrugged his shoulders, "Nah, you can pick. I just want to hear you."

"Alright," Blaine said as he thought for a moment, "Okay, here this is a silly song we wrote a while ago, but I still like it."

Kurt waited patiently as Blaine strummed the strings and started to remind himself of the chords to the song. He then started strumming and Kurts heart soared as Blaine started to sing.

Do you remember, back when

We fell in love in your best friends basement?

Spun the bottle and hoped it will land on you.

Thought we were cool, listening to Zeppelin.

Making out on the Stairway To Heaven

Nowhere to go, so slept out on the roof

But now, we hardly even speak, at all.

Looking back, how did we get away?

I never thought that wed surrender,

When I was yours and you were mine.

Never regret, no, we learned how to love;

When we were young.

Kurt couldnt help but start clapping, "Sorry, that was really good."

Blaine smiled, "Really?"

"Yeah," Kurt nodded enthusiastically, "I take it you all wrote that awhile ago though?"

"How do you know?" Blaine asked him.

Kurt looked down, "It just sounded a bit like it."

"It was actually one of the first songs we wrote," Blaine told him, "Kyle and I took the reins for most of it, but I think it turned out pretty good."

"Were you guys going to make an album?" Kurt asked him excitedly.

Blaine laughed, "Well we would like too. Sort of need money for that. And the little shows we do arent enough right now, but if we win first place, maybe."

"I hope you guys win then," Kurt smiled at him, "I mean so you can get your new instruments and make an album."

"I hope so too," Blaine said with a small smile. "Do you realize how much of a bright light you are?"

Kurt blushed, "What do you mean?"

"Just an observation is all," Blaine said standing up, "Now I must know because of reasons, but what is your favorite Disney movie?"

Kurt stared at him, "Why do you need to know that?"

"Like I said," Blaine shrugged, "Reasons."

"Well I suppose if you must know," Kurt laughed, "Its actually Peter Pan. After my mom passed away I always wished Peter Pan would come through my window and take me away to Neverland. I know it sounds silly."

Blaine shook his head, "Its not silly. I couldnt imagine what that would have been like for you. I think its sort of nice you had that dream."

"Sometimes I would draw pictures of Peter Pan and I with the lost boys. Then I would think that getting messy like them would be awful," Kurt laughed, "What about you then?"

Blaine sat back down next to Kurt, "What about me?"

"What was your favorite Disney movie?" Kurt asked him.

"Oh should have seen that one coming," Blaine said as is bit his bottom lip to stop him from smiling wider, "Lets see, well I suppose I should say The Lion King since I watched that one constantly. But the honest truth, that I have never told anybody mind you, is Aladdin."

"Why dont you tell anybody that?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine shrugged, "Well I always felt like Jasmine, stuck and no one there to save to me. And then I got older and all that shit happened. It sounds dumb, I know, but-"

"Hey it isnt dumb. If mine isnt silly, then yours isnt dumb," Kurt smiled.

Blaine looked over at him, "You know it doesnt surprise me you and Rachel get along so well now."

Kurt lifted his head and saw those two hazel eyes staring back at him. He froze. He didnt know what to say or what to do.

The door opened, "WE HAVE FOOD!" Derby yelled as he walked in.

Blaine turned his head, "Great, did you get my milkshake?"

"Yes," Rachel rolled her eyes as she handed him a cup, "Here is your Diet Coke," she handed Kurt a cup.

"Thanks," Kurt smiled at her. He was surprised that Blaine didnt jump back when they entered or even moved from his spot next to him. Blaine just started to simply sip his milkshake through his straw.

"I say we turn on the television and find a movie to watch," Maddie said sitting down on the opposite bed of Kurt and Blaine.

"Sounds like a plan," Derby grabbed the remote and turned the television on.

"Have fun while we were gone?" Rachel asked as she handed Kurt a container of French fries.

Blaine stole a fry out of Kurts box, "Sure, now what movie are we going to watch?"

Derby flipped through the options, "What do we feel like tonight? Horror, action, animated?"

"Definitely not horror," Kurt said immediately.

"Why not?" Kyle asked him.

Kurt shook his head, "I just dont enjoy those films."

"They also keep him up at night," Rachel teased from her spot sitting behind him on the bed.

"Thanks Rachel," Kurt said giving her a look.

Derby opened the options, "Fine fine, lets see what we got. They have The Avengers?"

"Do you even have to ask?" Kyle said with a laugh.

"You are correct," Derby said hitting the buttons and agreed they would pay the five dollars for the movie.

"Have either of you seen the movie?" Derby asked Rachel and Kurt.

Kurt nodded his head, "Yeah, we both went with Finn to the midnight showing with Sam too."

"Oh thats right," Rachel laughed, "I just loved that one."

"Who is Sam again?" Blaine asked now eating from his own fries.

Kurt looked over at Rachel and she just gave a nod, "He is the used-to-be stripper. And before you judge him, I just want to say that you shouldnt. He had his reasons."

"Dont worry," Derby said tossing his hand, "Blaine had us sit through that Magic Mike movie."

Kurt blushed at the thought. "I never made you sit through it," Blaine said throwing a fry at him, "You just wanted to sit and watch it yourself."

"So did not," Derby said throwing the French fry back at Blaine.

"Boys stop it," Maddie said, "Nick Fury is about to make his grand entrance."

"You just watch this movie for the butts," Kyle said with a smirk.

Maddie kissed him on the cheek, "But your butt is still definitely my favorite," she laughed.

"Oh gross guys," Derby said covering his ears with his hands.

"Just sit down and watch the movie," Blaine said pulling one of Derbys hands down. "And just talk about how much you love staring at Scarlett Johanssons butt."

"You know my weakness," Derby said leaning on Blaines leg.

Blaine kicked him, "No way. Now somebody turn up the volume, I cant hear Agent Maria Hill."

"You just like saying her name," Kyle said to his friend.

"I do," Blaine smiled.

The group ate the food they had bought and then watched the movie. Some may have gotten into arguments over the heroes.

"No way," Blaine shook his head, "Obviously without Iron Man there would be no Avengers."

"Captain America was the first Avenger," Derby pointed out.

"He has a point Babs," Maddie said with a nod.

"Fine, I have an idea" Blaine turned towards Kurt, "Which Avenger is better Captain America or Iron Man, unless you prefer one of the others?"

"No," Kurt shook his head thinking, "Since Ive seen all of the movies I am going to have to go with Iron Man. He shows more development as the movies progressed and his suit is kind of awesome. I dont blame Pepper for finally falling."

"See!" Blaine jumped up and shouted, "Thank you Kurt. And with that I call the bathroom first." He grabbed a small bag from his suitcase and a pair of pajama pants. "Adios."

As soon as the door was shut, everyone was staring at Kurt, "What did you two talk about?" Rachel asked him.

Kurt shrugged, "Nothing really. I just listened and we talked about random stuff I suppose."

"No, you said something to him," Maddie stared at him, "What did you talk about then?"

"I have no clue," Kurt said honestly, "He seemed a bit all over the place. And I am now taking Blaines lead and claiming the other bathroom first. I will see you girls in a few." He stood up and walked into the other room.

"You totally knew he would stay and that they would talk," Kyle said to Rachel.

"I dont have a clue what you are talking about," Rachel smiled mischievously, "And I claim the bathroom after Kurt. I need to do my nighttime regiment since I had to skip it last night."

"Performers," Derby rolled his eyes, "Cant live with them, cant live without them."

"Then you should be glad you dont live with one," Maddie said as she reached over and grabbed a pillow to hit him over the head with it.

"Maybe next time you have an evil scheme let us in on it," Kyle smiled over at Rachel.

"Oh definitely not," Rachel shook her head, "My evil schemes may involve one of you and I couldnt do that to my dear brother."

"What does she mean?" Derby asked.

"I do not know and I do not want to find out," Kyle said.

Rachel laughed, "Im going to go read before Kurt gets out of the shower." She stood up and walked out of the room.

"Its strange how alike they are," Maddie said looking at the doorway where Rachel had just walked out of.

"Who, the Berry twins?" Kyle asked and Maddie gave a nod. "I noticed the same thing."

"Lets hope they arent in all the ways," Derby said with a laugh, "I wonder if she can handle her liquor."

Blaine walked out of the bathroom, "If you plan on giving my younger under-aged sister liquor then I may have to punch you in the face."

"I wasnt," Derby waved his hand, "I mean you definitely cant handle your liquor. So it either runs in the family or you just cant."

"I dont know the answer to that and I hope I dont ever have to find out," Blaine said, "Now I got this new idea for a song and I wanted to run it by you guys."

Rachel pulled her book from her bag and started to read. Kurt exited the bathroom about fifteen minutes later, "All yours," he smiled at her.

"Thanks," Rachel smiled at him.

Kurt turned to see the door shut, "They want privacy?"

"Working on music," Rachel said not looking up from her book. "They dont like people hearing their music until they finish the song. They are all quite stingy in that way."

"I guess I understand that though," Kurt shrugged shoving his dirty clothes in a certain area of his bag, "I cant believe I wore the same outfit that long and didnt even change once in those two days."

"Oh just relax," Rachel sighed lying down on the bed and she looked over at Kurt, "So what did my brother and you talk about while we were gone?"

"Really?" Kurt asked as he walked over and sat on the bed next to Rachel pulling the covers over his legs, "You are going to ask what your brother and I talked about while the rest of you were gone getting food?"

Rachel nodded her head, "Yes, I believe I am."

"Well Im not going to say exactly," Kurt said with a blush, "We just talked is all. I mean is that so bad?"

"Not at all," Rachel shrugged as she stood up and walked over to her bag on the floor, "Just making sure he didnt take advantage of you or anything."

"We were both clothed and he has a boyfriend. And I shouldnt have to explain myself because nothing happened," Kurt said knowing his face was turning red.

"I know," Rachel grinned, "Just remember that I know all." And she skipped happily into the bathroom. Kurt slipped under the sheets to cover up the blush on his face.
