The next evening, Blaine and Cooper were sitting on the couch in their living room watching a movie when their parents came home from whatever trip they were on this time.
"Oh Cooper darling, why didn't you tell us you were coming home?" Rose Anderson asks, pulling her older son into a tight hug, Patrick Anderson smiling warmly at his older son.
"Hi Mom, Dad," Cooper said politely, a little less warmly than normal, but he felt that it was justified due to the way they acted towards Blaine he thought, but hugged his mother none the less.
"I'm going upstairs to finish homework," Blaine said suddenly, and Cooper frowned slightly but when Blaine sent him a look that clearly said "I'll tell you later, just go with it." He put back on his previous expression, and sat back down, ready to deal with at least a half hour of trying to convince his parents to go with his plan.
A plan for Blaine to move with him to New York. He knew that they wouldn't be the easiest to convince, but he knew that he wanted to do it. For Blaine at least. Cooper lived in a two bedroom flat in New York City, only one of which has been occupied since his roommate Ron moved in with his girlfriend a few years back, and he had just been using it as a seldom used guest bedroom since then. But he lived in a decent school district, and if Blaine did his senior year of high school in New York, not only would the transition from going to high school in small town Ohio to college in New York City easier, but it would be less expensive as well. That's what he planned on telling his parents at least. He had gotten to know Kurt a bit more since the previous morning, and he could tell that he and Blaine were just about as perfect as they could get for each other and pretty in love too. Now Cooper had a soft spot for his brother, and he knew from experience that trying to go to college in New York when you were in a relationship with someone in high school in Ohio didn't tend to work out well. He had broken up with his girlfriend of two years, Sylvie, when he was a freshman in college at medical college in the city himself. He had truly loved Sylvie, but the distance put a new strain on their relationship that ultimately was its downfall, and he didn't want that to happen to Kurt and Blaine.
~O~O~O~
Blaine was lying down on his bed talking to Kurt on the phone when Cooper made his way up to his younger brother's bedroom. At least Cooper assumed it was Kurt after hearing the last part of the conversation when he opened the door. If not, he would need to have a talking to with his brother.
"Yes, I love you too babe," pause, "Yes, I'll see you at school tomorrow, but I have to go, Cooper is staring at me from the doorway," a few nods, "Yes, yes, I will. Goodnight to you too, I love you," there was another pause and Blaine hung up, a fond smile on his face.
"Kurt says hi," he said, and Cooper smiled, stepping into Blaine's room and sitting on the bed next to him, making sure to close the door behind him.
"You really love him don't you?" Cooper asked, and Blaine nodded.
"I do, at times I wish I wasn't such an idiot last year and it didn't take him singing a song about a dead bird for me to realize it," he said, and Cooper chuckled.
"Well everyone has those moments," he said, before getting serious, "But I have a rather serious question for you Blaine," Cooper said, and Blaine paled a little, and Cooper had to smile a bit, having a feeling that he knew what Blaine was thinking of, "And no, it isn't about sex, I have a feeling after walking in on you yesterday that you guys have already done that," Blaine flushed, and Cooper smiled, having taken that as his answer, "But seriously. What would you think about moving to New York to live with me next year?" he asked.
The look on Blaine's face was priceless. His jaw dropped a slight bit, and his eyes grew slightly wide, before he grinned widely.
"Seriously?" he asked, and Cooper nodded, smiling.
"Seriously."
"That would be like, fantastic," he said, before frowning, "What about Mom and Dad? They wouldn't agree to this," he said, looking slightly downcast.
"But what if they agreed to it not five minutes ago?" Cooper asked, tilting his head a little before smiling at the look of utter happiness on Blaine's face.
"Yes. I'd love to. No question," he said, before jumping up to hug his brother, who grinned. When he stepped back he still had a look of pure joy on his face, and spoke again, "How'd you convince them though? Not that it matters, but still." He said, and Cooper shrugged.
"Dad was pretty easy to convince. I conveniently forgot to mention Kurt, and I think that he just kinda wants you out," Cooper said, frowning slightly, "But with Mom I mentioned how college prices would be lower for you next year since you want to go to college there next year, and how it would be an easier transition for you in the long run, and she agreed,' Cooper said, and Blaine grinned once again.
"You are like the best brother ever. I can't wait to tell Kurt," he said, and gave his brother yet another hug.
~O~O~O~
The next day after school, Kurt and Blaine headed to the Lima Bean so they could pick up their regular post-school coffees.
"Hey Kurt," Blaine said as he took a sip of his medium drip, looking at Kurt from across their usual table.
"Yes Blaine?" Kurt asked, wondering what his boyfriend was so happy about. Blaine had been unusually chipper all day. He was normally pretty happy, but this was a bit more than usual.
"What would you say if I said that I may be moving over the summer?" he asked, and Kurt furrowed his eyebrows, really wondering what Blaine was talking about now, before shrugging.
"I don't know. It depends on where," Kurt said, before adding on, "Because if you even think about saying California I might have to hurt you. I don't think that I could stand being on completely opposite sides of the country from you. Being as far as we will is going to be hard enough," Kurt said, and much to his confusion Blaine grinned even wider.
"Well, what if I said New York?" Blaine asked innocently, and Kurt almost dropped his coffee in surprise, and Blaine laughed a bit.
"Are you serious? Because if you aren't, I might have to stop talking to you for a few days," Kurt said, and Blaine grinned impossibly wider.
"I'm dead serious. Cooper offered for me to move into his flat with him for my senior year," Blaine said, and before he had time to really react, Kurt let out a squeal, before setting his coffee down, and grabbing both of Blaine's hands with his and whispering loud enough for Blaine to hear.
"If we weren't sitting on opposite sides of this table right now, I would be kissing you," he whispered, and Blaine turned a bright pink, but was still grinning, "And once the shock of this dies down a little itsy bit, and we are out of here, I will be." Kurt whispered again, and Blaine chuckled a bit, knowing that this side of Kurt didn't come out that often, but he had to love it when it did.
"Well do you want to get out of here then?" he asked, and Kurt nodded, standing up himself before picking up his coffee, and they both walked out the door, much happier than when they arrived.
