'This. Is. Stressful. Kurt thought to him self. 'Nationals just had to be in LA didn't it? Freaking LA!' The New Directions were currently – thanks to Mr Schuster trying to save money – sharing a five hour double decker coach bus journey with The Warblers.

Right now Rachel was fighting with Quinn about the costume choices, Brittany was hyper and trying to cartwheel up and down the bus, some one (Blaine) had given her Redvines... Never a good idea. Finn was out cold after receiving a football to the head courtesy of Puck, Sam and Rory, and Jeff and Nick were drawing on Wes' face while he slept. So basically it was chaos everywhere.

Except from one row of seats near the back of the bus where Kurt and Blaine sat no one daring to disturb Kurt in the mood he was in. Blaine's head was resting on Kurt's chest, Blaine was sleeping, Kurt was trying to but he was afraid that if he fell asleep Nick and Jeff would draw on them and he certainly did not want to wake up with a moustache on his face.

"Kurt hunny?" Mercedes came over and sat on the row in front of the boys. "You wanna go for a sleep?" Kurt nodded tiredly. "Kay, I'll watch agent 3 and 6 for ya and you get some sleep." Mercedes said with a warm smile reassuring Kurt that he was in good hands, Kurt smiled back and within the next few seconds he was fast a sleep, snuggling into Blaine.

"They're so cute." Sam said as he walked up to Mercedes staggering slightly as the bus hit a bump, Mercedes scolded him for moving seats while the bus was still going.

Mercedes and Sam just sat looking at each other for a while, neither speaking just looking. The moment ended when Stark appeared with a camera and took a picture of Kurt and Blaine laughing.

"Facebook Gold!" He proclaimed in a whisper triumphantly, Mercedes rolled her eyes before shooing him away.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Screamed Wes half an hour later. "Nick! Jeff! I swear to God if I get my hands on you, you are so dead!"

"I'm guessing that Wes just woke up and looked at his reflection." David chuckled next to Thad, who wasn't listening but staring longingly at Quinn. "Dude, just go talk to her! She's single, ask her on a date!"

"Please, do say it louder." Thad said sarcastically, luckily no one had over heard them. "I would man, I would but I don't know what I would say." Thad paused, he turned away from David glancing around, when his eyes landed on Kurt and Blaine. "Hey, what's that huge purple mark on Blaine's neck?" He asked David, his friend looked in the same direction also noticing where Blaine's polo shirt had slipped down was a big purple/blue mark.

"It's just a Hickey, no big deal." David replied airily.

"No big deal, it's huge!" Thad exclaimed.

"We couldn't help but over hear your odd little conversation, buuutt,"

"That's what we do best. So care to explain the tatter?" Nick and Jeff said, speaking as if they were the one person.

"Thad saw Blaine's Hickey and he thinks it's like, I dunno a tattoo of Barney on Blaine's neck?"

Jeff and Nick scoffed. "We've seen bigger Hickeys than that!" Nick exclaimed and Jeff nodded in agreement. "Kurt and Blaine are way too lovey duvey to appreciate Hickeys properly. I mean just last week Kim and I were."

"Whoa! TMI keep that between you and Kimberly!" David, Jeff and Thad cut Nick off, not too desperate to know what the couple got up to in their spare time.

~oOo~

About an hour later and three hours of their journey left Blaine woke up. Seeing that Kurt was still asleep he carefully got up and walked down the bus to find Wes and David.

When Blaine found the Wes and David writing in a large black book. "Hey guys, whatcha doin?" He asked tentatively, not really sure whether he wanted to know or not, judging by the grins on the boys faces it was something they found extremely amusing.

"Just writing in our BABP book." Wes said dismissively, he still had the faint outline of a moustache, glasses and a Harry Potter scar on his face.

"What does BABP stand for?"

"BABP stands for Blaine's Awesome Bachelor Party, you know cause we're obviously going to be your best men." David replied his eyes never leaving the book.

Blaine was taken a back by the assumption, he hadn't even considered best men or Bachelor parties. "Guys, emm, I hadn't even thought about that, I mean what about Cooper? He is my big brother."

David and Wes looked at each other for a second then turned to face Blaine. "Blaine, have you told Cooper yet? Or your parents?"

Blaine stalled, he hadn't told his parents yet or Cooper, granted he hadn't seen them in at least a month but still. Not that he was desperate to tell his father, Blaine's dad wasn't the most accepting person. His mother, Clara Anderson, on the other hand adored Kurt and would be thrilled as would Cooper. His father was the one he was frightened of, though he would never hurt Blaine, Niall Anderson was a tall man who looked quite threatening and could do damage if he so wished.

When Blaine came out Niall didn't speak to Blaine for two weeks, after that he spent long periods of time with Blaine, taking him to football, fixing cars with him, setting him up with girls or even lifting weights with him, as if it would make Blaine straight. Niall still hasn't come to terms with the fact that Blaine is gay and sees Blaine as a 'thing' that is going to ruin the family's reputation should anyone at the country club find out.

This made Blaine angry beyond belief, and all he wanted to do at that moment was go back and sit with Kurt but with Wes and David looking at him expectantly his dapper self took over. He regained him self took a deep breath.

"No I haven't told Coop or my Mom yet, or my Dad and you can guess why." Wes and David looked down, they knew family was a touchy subject for Blaine and they shouldn't have brought it up. "I will tell the when the moment is right, as for now you can continue planning but I'm not promising anything. Now if you'll excuse me it seems that my fiancé just woke up." And with that Blaine returned to Kurt leaving Wes and David alone with their thoughts.

~oOo~

At three o'clock exactally three hours after they left the Bus driver pulled into a rest stop so that the boys and girls could stretch their legs.

"Guys! Pair up and stay together we meet back at the bus at quarter to four!" Mr Schue shouted as the kids all dispersed.

Kurt, Mercedes, Tina, Quinn, and Rachel all immediately headed for Starbucks claiming that they were all 'Majorly deprived of Coffee' and 'Needed some or they would just die!'. Blaine, Wes, David, Nick and Jeff all went straight to McDonald's discussing what they were going to get the whole way and Kurt was almost positive he heard Jeff say he was going to get a Double Cheeseburger with large fries, a McChicken sandwich, a strawberry milkshake, a McFlurry, and a cookie.

Finn who was with Puck, Sam, Artie, Mike and Rory headed to the arcade all boys rushing to grab various machines, the most popular being 'Return of Zombie House' a game in which you shoot Zombies.

Brittany, Santana, Sugar, Thad and Stark all headed for the café and bought various drinks and food, before taking a seat next to Trent, Andrew, Craig, Logan and Douglas who had beat the to the cafe just five minutes earlier.

Everyone seemed fairly happy, all except Blaine, Kurt noticed. He had been quit off ever since coming back from his chat with Wes and David and when Kurt had asked what was wrong Blaine had brushed it off saying it was nothing, even Kurt knew it was something he didn't press the matter knowing Blaine would tell him when he wanted to.

~oOo~

So at quarter to four they all boarded the bus again and after two and a half hours, due to traffic, they arrived in Los Angeles.
