Blaine woke up to the sound of his ringtone. He groaned and started feeling around the bed until he found his phone. Cracking one eye open, he saw who was calling. Cooper.

"Whaaaat?" Blaine whined sleepily into the phone.

"Well hello to you too, bro!" Cooper replied with much more enthusiasm and volume than Blaine would've liked that early in the morning. "I just wanted to check up and see how the move went."

Blaine, still lying down with his eyes closed, smiled a little as his brother spoke. Cooper and Blaine were never close growing up. Cooper is significantly older than Blaine, by 7 years, so they were always in different stages in their life. They never had brotherly talks or did fun things together. After Cooper graduated high school, he moved to Los Angeles without so much as a goodbye. Cooper began his acting career shortly after. Blaine never understood why Cooper left and never called or visited. That all changed during Blaine's junior year of high school.

Blaine had been looking at colleges with his parents one night. After a much one-sided conversation with his dad about how majoring in business could really benefit his future, Blaine confronted him and told him that he was going to pursue music. His father started yelling at Blaine, saying that he was going to throw away his life on something ridiculous and make a fool of himself just like Cooper had. Blaine suddenly realized why Cooper was so distant from the family.

That night Blaine called Cooper and explained what had happened. They talked on the phone for hours, crying and laughing and finally getting to know each other as brother. They have been close ever since and told each other everything. Well, mostly everything.

"It was good. My room is awesome and New York is awesome and everything is pretty much awesome." Blaine said, finally getting excited about explaining all this to his brother.

Cooper laughed. "Well I'm glad it's 'awesome'. Though I still think you should have come to LA. Have you met your roommate yet?"

"Only sellouts go to LA, Coop." Blaine joked. "But um, yeah I met him. His name is Kurt. He's...awesome." Blaine's mind filled with images of Kurt's eyes as he talked.

"Good good. So I was thinking about coming out there to see you soon. When do you start classes?" Cooper asked.

"Coop that would be awesome! They start a week from tomorrow."

"Great! Because I already booked my ticket to fly out tomorrow. I should be there late afternoon." Cooper said with a smile in his voice.

Blaine shot out of bed. "Wait, seriously? Yes! We're going to have so much fun! This is awesome!" He was jumping on his bed now.

"Did you know you say 'awesome' a lot?" Cooper said with a laugh.

"Shut up, Coop. I'm awesome." Blaine said, still jumping up and down with excitement.

"That you are, bro. Well I've got to go sort out some stuff. I'll send you all my flight information and call you when I land. I can't wait to see you, Blaine."

"Me neither, Coop. I'll see you tomorrow." They exchanged one last goodbye before hanging up. Blaine finally stopped jumping up and down, but kept the smile on his face.

Cooper was coming to see him. In New York! How much better could this get? Blaine did one more little jump on the bed then decided to get ready for the day. He grabbed he toiletries and a towel and headed out of his bedroom towards the bathroom.

Kurt and Burt were in the kitchen eating some bagels that Burt had brought over. They could hear Blaine talking loudly and what sounded like jumping on the bed. Kurt was trying to keep the smile off his face while imagining an excited Blaine jumping on the bed. He was obviously not doing a good job because his dad seemed to notice.

"I give it a month." Burt said with an amused smile.

"What?" Kurt asked with genuine confusion.

Before Burt could answer, Blaine came out of his room with an arm full of stuff. He looked at Burt then Kurt with a shy smile.

"Mornin' bud. Want some breakfast?" Burt said to Blaine as he pointed to the bagels.

"Yeah sure. That sounds delicious." Blaine replied with a slight nod in thanks.

"Seriously, Blaine. These bagels are like the most delicious bagels I've had. Why is everything in New York like, ten times better?" Kurt wasn't sure where this little ramble came from. Seeing Blaine's hair all crazy from sleep and his tight tank top clinging to his chest showing every muscle (holy abs!) made Kurt turned to mush and he had no idea what he was doing.

Blaine looked at him with a beautiful full teeth smile and laughed a little bit. This boy was definitely going to be the death of him.

"I'm sure they're great. I'm just going to shower first and then I'll join you." Blaine said before going into the bathroom.

They heard the shower start before Burt spoke again. "Yeah, definitely a month."

"Okay, seriously. What are you talking about?" Kurt said back to his father even though he already knew where this was going.

"You and Blaine. One month and you'll be together." Burt said as if it was the most obvious thing. He took another bite of his bagel and smiled at Kurt.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Dad stop. It's not going to happen. He's most likely straight anyway." Kurt said trying to hide the sorrow in his voice.

"From the way he looks at you, I don't think he's straight." Burt said with a chuckle.

"Whatever. So when do you have to get to the airport?" Kurt asked quickly changing the subject.

"My flight leaves in a couple hours. I should probably be heading out soon." Burt said with a sad smile.

"I wish you could have stayed longer." Kurt said, eyes brimming with tears.

Blaine had come out of the bathroom at that moment. He was wearing a different pair of sweatpants and a shirt that said 'Dalton Academy' on it. He was rubbing a towel through his hair, beautiful curls springing free.

"Oh are you leaving Mr. Hummel?" Blaine asked as he heard Kurt's last comment.

"Yep. Have to head back to the shop tomorrow. It ain't gonna run itself." Burt replied as he stood up and put on his jacket.

Blaine looked a little confused when Burt mentioned 'shop' but he didn't say anything about it. "Well thank you so much for dinner and breakfast. It was a pleasure to meet you and I'm sure I'll see you again." He said holding out his hand to give Burt a handshake.

Burt took Blaine's hand and gave it a manly shake. "I'm positive you will." He said, giving Kurt a subtle wink.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to the airport? I really don't mind."

"Nah don't worry 'bout it. I'm fine taking a cab. You stay here and finish unpacking." Burt said as he pulled Kurt into his arms.

Kurt held on to his dad for a few minutes before releasing. His eyes, once again, had tears in them.

"Okay." Kurt said as he took a deep breath. "Take care of yourself. And make sure you listen to Carole when she tells you that you can't eat something." Kurt gave him a stern look. "You know, I'll just walk out with you." Kurt said grabbing a sweatshirt.

Blaine said goodbye to Burt again then watched him and Kurt walk out the door. He grabbed a bagel, lathered it with cream cheese, and then sat down at the table. Kurt came back in the room a few minutes later. Blaine saw that his eyes were red from tears. He looked truly stunning. He had to fight the urge to reach out and touch Kurt. Blaine cleared his throat and looked down at the table.

Kurt pulled out the chair next to Blaine and sat down. "So does the bed make a good trampoline?"

Blaine looked up to see the smirk on Kurt's face. He felt his cheeks start to burn. "Oh god. You heard that?" Blaine asked embarrassed.  He put his face in his hands. "Sorry. I was excited. I tend to jump on furniture when I'm excited. Especially couches." He said with a laugh.

He looked up to see Kurt smiling at him. Every little thing this boy did made Blaine fall a little harder. But you CAN'T fall for him! Stick to the plan!

"What were you excited about? I mean, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Kurt said shyly and looked down at his lap.

"Oh, um, no it's fine. I was talking to my brother and he told me that he was coming out here to visit tomorrow." Blaine said before adding "Which I should actually talk to you about."

Kurt looked up at him in confusion.

"Okay so, um, my brother he, well, um. Have you ever seen Transformers 4 or those free credit rating commercials?" Blaine asked him with a slight anxious look.

"Yeah. I have." Kurt answered, still looking confused.

"Well" Blaine started while rubbing his hand against the back of his neck. "My brother is kind of the star of those commercials." He said with a little laugh.

After a moment of Kurt not saying anything, Blaine looked up. Kurt's eyes were wide and his mouth was open. "Cooper Anderson is your brother?" He said in a whisper.

Of coarse Kurt would know who Cooper was. Everyone knew who Cooper was. Blaine loved his brother, but sometimes it was a little annoying having the handsome and charming Cooper Anderson as your brother.  He always outshone Blaine.

"He is the most attractive man in North America." Kurt said.

Blaine's head snapped up to see Kurt's hand over his mouth and blush rising on his face.

"Oh my god, I did not mean to say that out loud." Kurt said with a shaky voice.

Blaine didn't reply as his thoughts were currently filled with pictures of Kurt making heart eyes at his brother. He knew that half the world felt the same way about Cooper, but to hear it come from Kurt's mouth made his heart hurt a little. Okay, a lot.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. If my um, sexuality makes you uncomfortable-"

Blaine focused back on what Kurt was saying. He thought him being gay was making him uncomfortable? He had to force back an ironic laugh.

Blaine could see the slight sadness in Kurt's face. His heart began to hurt again for a completely different reason.

"Oh no! It doesn't make me uncomfortable." Blaine said giving Kurt a smile. "I guess I'm just still not used to people talking about Coop like that." He lied. He could see Kurt's shoulders visibly relax. Blaine, now more than ever, wanted to know every part of Kurt's life. Something had to happen to make this beautiful boy be scared of making people uncomfortable.

"Oh okay. Good." Kurt sighed a little. "I can't believe I said that out loud." Kurt said and gave a small laugh. "Do you know when he's coming?"

"No not yet. He was going to send me his flight information, so I'll probably know later today." Blaine replied.

Kurt smiled again. Blaine never wanted to stop seeing that smile. "Well I'm going to go finish unpacking. Maybe later we could go explore the city some? Then go get some groceries? I mean, if you want to." Kurt said while looking at his hands.

Say no Blaine! You need to separate yourself! You're falling too hard and too fast! Say NO! "Yeah I would love to." Blaine said. How could he say no to him?

Kurt gave him a large smile and then vanished into his room.

"Great Blaine, now what have you gotten yourself into?" Blaine muttered to himself as he banged his head against the table.
