Sunday afternoon, five weeks later, Kurt and Blaine were both relaxing in their living room, Kurt rubbing Blaine's hand between his fingers, trying to relief some of the pain from the day before.

"Kurt, that feels better already," Blaine moaned softly, looking from the TV to Kurt, "Thank you,"

"You're very welcome," Kurt replied, "Think of it as your reward for getting through another prom season," Kurt leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to the corner of Blaine's mouth, "So what's the plan for this week Mr Anderson?" Kurt asked in a lower tone, moving slightly to the right to place a kiss to Blaine's lips.

"Well," Blaine began as he smiled into the kiss, "Firstly I'm going to sit here and enjoy you massaging the pain from my hands," Kurt hummed in agreement as he pressed another kiss to Blaine's mouth, "And then, from five o'clock tomorrow, and from five every day I will have different members of the wedding party and various guests stopping into our salon," Blaine pulled away and winked at Kurt when he said the word 'our', even though the paper work wasn't finalised, they still liked referring to it as theirs, "Where I will be doing hair until at least eight, and then I plan on coming home and spending my nights however you want to," Blaine grinned as Kurt kissed him again, while still massaging Blaine's right had between his own, "And then on Saturday, it'll be an early start so I can get to the salon and open up for Jen and her bridesmaids and then once they're all done I'm coming home to you so we can get ready, and then I'll be at Wes's, getting his groomsmen and himself ready before we all head over to the church," Blaine breathed deeply once he'd finished, leaning forwards slightly to press another kiss to Kurt's lips.

"Mean while, I'll be here with Cooper,"

"You'll be here with Cooper," Blaine nodded, trying to stifle a laugh, at the look on Kurt's face, "You'll be fine," Blaine said as he lifted his left hand and placed it against Kurt's jaw, slowly rubbing his thumb over Kurt's cheek.

"I know," Kurt sighed, trying to cover it up as a laugh, "I guess I'm just a little nervous because it's never really just been him and I alone before, you were always there in some way while we in LA,"

"Hey, I promise Cooper will be on his best behaviour, besides, he's excited to see you again," Blaine smiled at Kurt before bringing him forward for another kiss, "What's more, he doesn't get here until here until Thursday, so we've still got a few days of piece," Blaine winked.

"And just what are you suggesting?" Kurt asked, wearing a sly grin and a knowing look in his eyes.

"Oh I think you know just what I'm suggesting," Blaine winked again as he stood up from the couch and moved his fingers so he was no holding Kurt's hand in his own, "Come with me Mr Hummel, and I'll show you just what I'm suggesting," Kurt couldn't help but bite at his bottom lip with lust at Blaine's use of words and his low tone. Kurt stood and allowed himself to be lead back to their bedroom.

.

.

Thursday afternoon soon rolled around and at four thirty Kurt found himself pushing open the door to his and Blaine's salon with a warm cream cheese bagel and a hot coffee in his hands for Blaine.

"Hey Kurt," Kelly greeted him from behind the reception desk.

"Hi Kelly, is Blaine around?"

"Yeah, he's out back, did you want me to get him for you?" she asked, her genuine smile still beaming at Kurt.

"No thanks, I can find him," Kurt smiled back.

"Ok, it was nice to see you again,"

"You too," Kurt finished as he made his way through the salon and pushed open the door to the back room, "Blaine?" Kurt called out softly. He smiled to himself when he heard a muffled groan come from the break room, "Hey you," Kurt said softly as he made his way into the room, placing the bagel and coffee on the table and sitting down on the couch where Blaine was lying down, half asleep. Kurt sat by Blaine's waist and moved his hand up to run gently through Blaine's hair, "Long day?" Blaine nodded, lifting his hand to rest in Kurt's lap, moving his fingers forward to play with the hem of Kurt's shirt.

"Very long," Blaine finally answered.

"I didn't even hear you leave this morning," Kurt replied, beginning the slow process of running his hands through Blaine's curls again.

"Mmhmm," Blaine mumbled sleepily, leaning into Kurt's touch.

"Do you want some coffee?"

"Yes please?" Blaine yawned, moving to sit up.

"Here," Kurt offered after turning to hold out a cup and the bag containing Blaine's bagel.

"Mmm, thank you," Blaine said softly, leaning forward to press a kiss to Kurt's forehead before taking a sip of his coffee, followed by a bite of bagel, "I really needed this,"

"You're welcome," Kurt smiled.

"Hey Blaine," Kelly began as she stuck her head around the corner of the doorway, "There's a guy out here asking for you, and he's rather attractive if you don't mind me saying," Kelly finished, a blush rising along her cheeks.

"Thanks Kelly, I'm coming," Kelly nodded and made her way back out into the salon. Blaine stood as well and took Kurt's hand, leading them both out into the salon.

"Blainey," Blaine's head snapped up at the voice, a grin quickly spread over his face as Kurt let go of his hand and Blaine rushed into his brother's arms.

"Coop," Blaine laughed, clutching tight around his brother's waist, "God I've missed you," Blaine said quietly as he pressed his face into Cooper's shoulder.

"Hey, I've missed you too," Cooper replied, bringing his hand up and resting it against the back of Blaine's head, "You're looking good Blainey," Cooper added as he pulled away slightly to get a look at Blaine, "You look really happy,"

"I am Coop," Blaine grinned, turning to look over at Kurt.

"Kurt!," Cooper exclaimed, holding his arm out for Kurt, "I've missed you too," Kurt laughed to himself as he stepped into Cooper's embrace, wrapping one arm around Cooper and the other around Blaine.

"I've missed you as well Cooper," Kurt smiled, "It's good to see you again,"

"You too, I can't wait to see your place, now that you're both finally living there,"

"Coop," Blaine replied, rolling his eyes.

"What?" Cooper said as he held his hands up in defence, "I know that you've both been there for like, seven months now, but still, it really was about time," Blaine laughed as he squeezed Cooper's waist again, "So what's the plan for tonight then?" Cooper asked stepping away from both men.

"Wes and David should be here soon, and I'm pretty excited. I haven't seen David in almost four years," Blaine grinned, "And then whoever wants their haircut, I'll do it," Blaine shrugged.

"Yes please," Cooper announced as he raised his hand.

"Ok Coop, I'll fit you in," Blaine laughed, "But first, why don't you bring your suitcase out the back," Cooper nodded and followed Kurt and Blaine out into the break room. Blaine sat back down on the couch and resumed eating his bagel, Kurt leaning against him.

"You guys really are too cute for words," Cooper commented as he took a seat on one of the chairs at the table. Blaine just smiled at his brother's words as he pressed a kiss to Kurt's cheek.

"You should try living with them, I thought I was going to get diabetes with all of the sweet things they said to each other," Wes piped up from the doorway.

"Wes," Cooper exclaimed, "Congratulations," he grinned as he stood to hug his little brother's best friend.

"Thanks Cooper, I'm glad you could make it," Wes replied, hugging Cooper back.

"Are you kidding me, you're like another little brother to me, I wasn't going to miss you wedding,"

"David," Blaine exclaimed, jumping up from his seat next to Kurt to hug the tall black man that had followed Wes in.

"Hey Blaine," David laughed as he wrapped his arms around Blaine, "It's good to see you man,"

"Yeah, you too. congratulations on your job in LA, I always knew that the music industry was your calling," Blaine replied, pulling out of the hug.

"Thanks, and congratulations to you too, Wes has been telling me all about your success's and now you own this place, that's pretty amazing,"

"We own this place," Blaine corrected, smiling over at Kurt and offering his hand, "David, this is Kurt, my boyfriend; Kurt, this is David, another of my best friends from high school,"

"It's nice to finally meet you Kurt, I've heard so much about you," David said, holding his hand out for Kurt to shake.

"You too David, Blaine talks about the three of you all the time," Kurt laughed, reaching out and shaking David's hand.

"Yeah well, we were pretty notorious in high school," David replied, shrugging his shoulders and trying to look tough.

"Oh please, you were the three leads in your high school glee club," Cooper laughed, "The most notorious you three ever got was when you sang that Robin Thicke song and jumped on a table," Kurt had to cover his mouth with is hand to stop the laugh that was bubbling up in his throat from bursting out.

"Ok, thank you Coop," Blaine quickly announced, covering Cooper's mouth with his hand, "I've spent almost a year trying to look cool in front of my boyfriend and I don't need you shattering that illusion in one afternoon,"

"Oh please Blaine, you were born to be a dork," Wes laughed.

"Was not,' Blaine retorted.

"Blaine, who do you share your birthday with that always makes you really excited?" David asked, a grin spreading across his own face.

"Harry Potter," Blaine said quietly. Kurt sucked his bottom lip between his teeth to stop his grin from gorwing any larger; he moved to stand next to Blaine and placed an arm around his waist.

"I think you're an adorable dork," Kurt whispered into his ear before placing a kiss to his cheek.

"Thank you," Blaine replied with a grin, "I'm adorable," he said to the other three men in the room.

"Yes, you're adorable, now can you please start making us look pretty for my wedding in two days," Wes spoke up, looking at Blaine expectantly.

"Of course. Janie is just finishing up with her last client and then we've got the salon to ourselves," Blaine answered.

"I brought a few beers," David replied, lifting the plastic bag he'd brought with him.

"This could potentially be the gayest bachelor party ever," Cooper laughed.

"Coop, two out of the five of here are actually gay," Blaine laughed as well, "But we had a bit of a party last weekend, so we're fine,"

"Hey Blaine, I'm all done out here. The floor is yours," Janie smiled as she stuck her head around the door.

"Thanks Janie. That's our cue guys," Blaine said to the rest of them as they made their way back out onto the salon floor. A couple of the other stylists were cleaning their stations, but other than that, it was empty, "Ok, I'll have one of you in my chair, and the rest of you can just pull up other chairs while I sort my gear out," Blaine said as Cooper sat down at Blaine's station and the other three pulled chairs over from nearby. Blaine pulled his trolley out from under the counter and began lifting out his tools.

"Do you realise that this will be the first time that I see you work," David commented once he was sitting in one of the salon chairs he had pulled over.

"I hope I live up to your expectations," Blaine laughed as he threw his cape over Cooper's shoulders, "Ok Coop, what are we doing today?" Blaine asked, stepping into his professional persona.

"Just a tidy up please Blainey. Gotta look good enough to catch the attention of at least one bridesmaid,"

"Coop," Blaine replied, shaking his head, "Follow me," Blaine instructed, turning to lead Cooper over to the basins. Cooper leaned back as per the instructions and Blaine switched the water on, waiting for it to warm up before running it over Cooper's hair.

"So Kurt, Wes was telling me that you work for Vogue dot com?" David asked, handing a bottle of beer to both Kurt and Wes, "That sounds amazing,"

"Thanks," Kurt replied, taking the opened bottle, "Yeah, it really is. I began interning there when I first arrived in New York and have just worked my way up the ladder. I took almost a year off to take a job as head of hair and make up for an off-Broadway production, that was when I met Blaine," Kurt looked over and smiled at Blaine who was in the middle of shampooing his brother's hair, "And then when that ended, I was offered my job back at Vogue dot com. So I went back to my old position and it wasn't long before I was promoted to Creative Director, so now I'm in charge of the photo shoots,"

"That sounds like a very demanding job," David commented, and Kurt nodded, taking a sip of his beer, "It is, but I love it. The best thing about it though is that so far all of the shoots have been day shoots, so I haven't been working until three in the morning. Which means that Blaine and I actually get to see each other," Kurt laughed lightly, "I like being in charge," Kurt finished with a grin and a nod.

"You certainly were in charge when you both stayed at my place," Cooper added as he sat back down in hi chair at Blaine's station, his hair wet and pushed off of his face, "Ouch," he winced as Blaine smacked him on the head with a comb.

"I can do a lot worse if you keep talking like that thank you Coop," Blaine commented as he gestured to his scissors and clippers, "Just remember who has the tools in his hand. You wouldn't want me to slip would you?" Blaine replied with an evil grin, sending a wink to Kurt.

"Oh come on Blaine, everyone knows who loud you can get during sex," Wes replied.

"Yeah, I've heard the two of you while I was on the phone to Wes," David added.

"Oh god," Blaine sighed, his head dropping.

"What can I say," Kurt shrugged, "I'm just that good," he replied nonchalantly.

"Well," Blaine began quietly, "I can't argue with that," he grinned as he leaned over and pressed his lips against Kurt's, swiping his tongue over Kurt's bottom lip.

"Ok you two, we don't need that right now thank you," Cooper interrupted by grabbing Blaine by the back of his shirt and pulling him back into a standing position, "My hair needs you more than Kurt's mouth does," he finished.

"That's debatable," Kurt replied, his own tongue coming out to swipe along where Blaine's had just been. Blaine sent Kurt another wink before picking up a few clips and clipping them to the sleeve of his shirt. He then followed by picking up his comb and began combing through Cooper's hair, ridding it of any knots.

"Ok, question," David said, "Blaine, how is your hair so curly, when Cooper's is so not,"

"Hey, I have a bit of curl," Cooper defended, Blaine chuckled to himself as he sectioned off the back of Cooper's hair and clipped the rest up, using the clips that were attached to his sleeve.

"No you don't Coop," Blaine replied, shaking his head, "You have a wave, but no curl. If you had even the smallest sign of curls, your hair would 'group'" Blaine said using air quotes, "Meaning that sections of your hair would group together and fall in different ways, like mine. You can clearly see each individual curl because the strands of hair have grouped together. With yours, it all falls in the same way, indicating that you have a wave, but no curl," Blaine finished.

"Fine, I have no curl, only wave," Cooper agreed as Blaine laughed.

"But in response to your question David, we don't really know. Neither of our parents have curly hair. Mine just turned out like this," Blaine shrugged.

"And that's one of the reasons as to why I love you," Blaine's hand, which was now holding his scissors, stilled on the way to the section of Cooper's hair held between his fingers to look at Kurt who had just spoken.

"I love you too," Blaine grinned before looking back at Cooper's hair and closing his scissors over the ends of the strands, sending the trimmings to the floor, "Coop, how long has it been since you've had a haircut?" Blaine asked, looking at the destroyed ends of Cooper's hair.

"I don't know?" Cooper shrugged, "Since before my last job,"

"What the hell did they do to your hair in that job?" Blaine asked, taking off more ends of Cooper's hair.

"They had to straighten it every day," Cooper replied.

"Yeah, you can tell. The ends are fried. I'm taking your hair a little bit shorter than you may have wanted, but there's no other way to get rid of this damage," Blaine said, still sectioning and cutting Cooper's hair.

"That's fine," Cooper replied, "So long as it still looks good," Blaine laughed and shook his head at his brother's words, focusing back on his task at hand as the others around him continued on with their conversation.

Thirty minutes later, Blaine was switching off his blow dryer and removing the cape from around Cooper's neck, shaking his cut hair to the floor.

"Finished," Blaine announced as Cooper leaned forward in his seat to examine his new haircut.

"Looks good Blainey, I'm impressed," he grinned as he stood up and turned to give his brother a hug, "Thanks you," he said quietly to Blaine as he squeezed him tightly, "I really appreciate it,"

"Thanks Coop," Blaine replied, a grin on his face and a few tears in his eyes.

"Ok, who's seat am I taking?" Cooper asked the other three men.

"Me next," David replied, standing from his seat and moving to take the chair Cooper had just vacated. He sat down and waited for Blaine, who was uncoiling the cord of his clippers and plugging them in.

"Ok, how short are we going David?" Blaine asked as he draped his cape over David.

"Much like Cooper, just a tidy up please Blaine," David commented. Blaine nodded and picked up a couple of attachments, running them through David's hair to see which one would help him reach the desired length. After trialling only two, he found which one he was looking for and snapped it onto his clippers, switching them on and moving them straight to David's hairline, pulling them back and taking his hair shorter.

It only took Blaine ten minutes to cut David's hair down to the length he wanted it. Blaine then spent the next twenty minutes using his clippers without a guard on, his tongue held gently between his teeth in concentration, to clean up the edges on David's hairline, leaving it clean and precise.

"Dude, when did you learn to do that?" David asked, referring to the edging Blaine had now finished. Blaine laughed as he undid the cape from around David's neck.

"I took a barbers night class a few years ago," Blaine replied simply.

"You really are full of surprises," David laughed, standing up from Blaine's chair to let Wes sit down.

"Ok soon to be Mr Married Man, just a tidy up as well?" Blaine asked as he, again, snapped the cape shut behind Wes' neck.

"Ye please. I figured that two days before your wedding is not the time to try new things," Wes laughed as Blaine snapped on the usual attachment he used for Wes' hair.

"I think that that is a very wise move," Kurt said as he watched Blaine push his clippers through Wes' hair, tidying up the length.

"Yeah, Jen would kill you if you showed up bald," David added, still admiring his own haircut in the mirror.

"That's what she told me," Wes laughed as he moved his head to the side at Blaine's instruction, "She'd also kill Blaine if I turned up with something completely new,"

"She would. And I'd like to be around to see my own wedding thank you very much," Kurt felt his stomach flip at Blaine's words. His eyes softened and he felt himself bite his bottom lip between his teeth. He was jerked back to reality when he felt Cooper's hand clamp down on his shoulder quietly, and give it a comforting squeeze. He looked over to meet Cooper's gaze and saw that he was smiling softly at Kurt, Kurt returned the smile, feeling his insides go warm at the thought of his and Blaine's own wedding one day. Kurt reached up and placed his hand over Cooper's, giving it a squeeze before letting it go and dropping his hand back into his lap; no one else had seen the gestures between Kurt and Cooper, and Kurt was kind of grateful. He was grateful that he could continue to watch Blaine work with this new knowledge that their own wedding maybe wasn't that far away.

"Ok Wes, you're all done,' Blaine announced. Kurt snapped out of his daydream, now realising that he had been in his own little world for the last fifteen minutes, most of it had been planning his own wedding, imagining him and Blaine in matching tuxedos, having Finn as his Best Man, what song would be their first dance.

"Kurt," Kurt shook his head at the sound of Wes's voice in front of him, "Kurt? You ok there man?" Wes laughed.

"Yeah," Kurt replied, shaking his head and laughing softly himself, "Yeah, it's just been a long day,"

"I understand," Blaine answered, leaning forward and brushing a piece of Kurt's hair that had broken free, away from his forehead before placing a soft kiss there, "I just wanted to let you know that I'll do your hair at home,"

"Ok," Kurt replied quietly, tilting his head upwards to press a kiss to Blaine's lips.

"So I guess this is where we say goodbye," David said after they had put all of the chairs back in place and Blaine had swept up the pile of hair that had formed on the floor.

"Yep, but if we don't see each other tomorrow then Saturday morning at my place. Blaine what time do you think you'll be finished?" Wes asked as Blaine returned from dumping the hair in the trash.

"I'm meeting the girls here at seven, so I'll be at your place by twelve. But since I won't have to cut anyone's hair that day, everything will go a lot faster," Wes nodded at Blaine's words.

"Ok, well thank you for the haircuts tonight, and we'll see you all on Saturday," the five men all said their goodbyes outside of the salon and Wes and David headed one way, while Kurt, Blaine and Cooper turned and went in the other direction, catching a cab back to Kurt and Blaine's place.

"Hey Coop," Cooper looked up from the magazine he was reading on the couch to find Kurt and Blaine standing in front of him, holding hands, shirtless and wearing sweatpants. They had finished dinner half an hour ago and were now all winding down for the night, "Kurt and I are gonna go to bed. You need anything before we go?" Blaine asked his big brother.

"Na, I'll be fine thanks Blainey, I know where everything is anyway if I do need something," Cooper smiled at the two of them.

"Ok, night Coop," Blaine waved.

"Goodnight Cooper," Kurt said as they both turned and made their way down to their bedroom.

"Night Blainey, night Kurt," Cooper called after them, his smile evident in his tone.

Cooper stood from the couch not ten minutes later and switched off the living room light, making his way back down to the spare bedroom. He walked past the door and stopped outside of Kurt and Blaine's own shut one, just to listen. From the other side came the sound of a low hum and soft voices. Cooper smiled to himself as he made his way back down to his own room and shut the door, climbing into bed with a smile on his face. He was glad that his little brother really had found someone that made him truely happy. Now he just making bets with himself as to when they both woke up enough to realise that they need to propose to each other.
