Blaine blinked his eyes open as sun from his window flittered across his face. He stretched and then winced forgetting for a moment that he been roughed up the day before. He looked out his window, the sun was high in the sky, he sat up in bed quickly. He was late for school.

“Whoa, easy there Blaine.”

Blaine glanced to the side to see Cooper sitting in a chair near his bed.

“You aren't late for school.” Cooper said as if reading Blaine's mind. “Well, you're not going to school today.”

“Coop, I can go to school. I'm okay.” Blaine said his voice scratchy from just waking up.

“Nope. You're taking it easy today.”

Blaine glanced at him; Cooper looked comfortable, sitting in the chair with a magazine in his lap.

“Have you just been sitting there watching me sleep?”

“Yup.”

“That's weird Cooper.”

“Aw, not fair Squirt. I've been watching you sleep since you were a little baby.”

“You're weird Cooper.”

Cooper smiled. “Yeah, but it's genetic.”

Blaine shook his head and laughed softly before rubbing a hand carefully across his brow, it was sore. “I need to talk you Cooper.” Blaine looked up at him worriedly, time to just bite the bullet. Maybe Cooper would go easy on him since he was in “protective Cooper” mode right now.

“Is this about Kurt?”

Blaine's heart thudded against his chest painfully.

"Because I know you and him have been… getting it on.”  

“What! No! We haven't!” Blaine blurted out, that was the last thing he expected his brother to say.

Cooper looked at him skeptically and then his eyebrows shot up. “Wait? You and Kurt really haven't been fuc- fooling around?”

Blaine felt the blood drain from his face. “No.” He rubbed his eyes. He was too tired for the conversation to take this surprising and unsettling turn. “We kissed.” Blaine said. “And that just recently happened, and we both didn't want to go any further without telling you.”

Cooper starred at him surprised. “Well I'm an asshole.

“How are you the asshole in this situation?"

“When Kurt started pulling away from me, like physically, I thought you two were you know…” Cooper made a somewhat obscene jester with his hands. “And I kind of sort of… I might have been hooking up on my business trips.”

“You've been…” Suddenly Blaine felt really warm and his heart started pounding. “Cooper! What's wrong with you? How could you do that to Kurt!”

“Whoa! Whoa!” Cooper put his hands up in defense. “Down boy.”

“This isn't funny Cooper!”

“I know I'm sorry. I honestly thought you two were together, together  and… then I realized that it wasn't just hooking up but you two cared about each other and I figured Kurt wouldn't care what I was doing, or at least I hoped.”

Blaine was still fuming. “Kurt is going to be crushed.”

Cooper smiled a little. “No, he was way more upset with you dating Sebastian than he was when I told him about my little indiscretions.”

Blaine looked at his brother incredulously before burying his head in his heads.

“You okay Blaine?”

“You're giving me a headache.” Blaine sighed eyes watering a little. He didn't know if it was because of all that happened yesterday, or Cooper's nonchalance about a situation that had been plaguing him for so long but Blaine was feeling really emotional. He wasn't even out of bed yet and this was a lot to take in.

“Kurt knows about the cheating?” Blaine finally asked.

“Yeah, he actually laughed when I told him last night. Which was a relief because I don't think I want to mess with Kurt when he's mad.”

Blaine was constantly being surprised by his brother and by Kurt, this was no exception.

“So wait, how did you know anything was going on between Kurt and me? I only found out a couple days ago how Kurt felt.”

Cooper rolled his eyes. “Oh my god, you both thought you were being so guarded and it seems like the only people you were fooling were each other.”

Slowly it was donning on Blaine that his brother knew how he felt about Kurt and didn't seem to mind. “So, I'm in love with your husband and you're… okay with that?”

“In love.” Cooper smiled. “My baby brother is all grown up.”

“Cooper.”

Cooper shrugged. “Kurt and I weren't married by choice Blaine. I don't think it should count.”

“The government disagrees with you. And you two made promises when you were married-.” Blaine made himself stop talking, was he trying to talk his brother out of being okay with this?

“Yeah, I know. But a promise made by force isn't a real promise. It would be different if we had stood up together promising things we had wanted and decided to promise. I guess what I'm saying is if you have the chance to choose to be with someone you love, go for it Squirt.”

Blaine swallowed and tried not to cry, Cooper never could handle people crying. “I… I just…” He wasn't sure what to say.”I love him so much Coop.”

Cooper smiled and then stood from his chair. “Well that's good enough for me.”

“You know you're a lot wiser than people give you credit it for.” Blaine said teasingly.

“Yeah well, don't let that get around, I have an image to uphold.” He walked to the door. “Kurt moved to the guest room, in case you felt like going to find him.” Cooper winked and then left the room.

Blaine sat still for a moment all of this new information still settling inside of him. Then he jumped out of bed, not caring that he was still a little stiff and sore and quickly took a shower and got dressed for the day. He didn't know why, Kurt had seen him sloppy and comfy before, but he really wanted to look his best.

He pulled on his dark jeans that he knew looked really great on him, a red collared shirt and a dark sweater over it. He left his hair just lightly gelled and curly because he noticed that Kurt seemed to like it that way. There wasn't much he could do about the bruises and cuts on his face though, his stitches looked rough and yellow and blue bloomed over his skin. He sighed, he really did feel all right, mostly, he just didn't look it. There was nothing to do about it though and he wasn't going to let it keep him from seeing Kurt. He walked down to the guest room and knocked on the door.

Kurt answered quickly. “You're awake.” He said with a small smile.

“You changed rooms.” Blaine said bouncing on his toes.

Kurt smiled softly and reaches up to brush his hand down Blaine's face, where he wasn't hurt. Blaine's heart skipped a beat.

“Cooper and I talked about it and it seemed like the best idea.” He dropped his hand and motioned for Blaine to follow him in. Kurt sat down cross-legged on the bed and started fidgeting with the seam on his pants nervously. Suddenly Blaine felt uncertain. He knew how he felt about Kurt, but what if this was all too much for Kurt? What if Cooper's cheating had affected him more than Cooper knew? What if Kurt had changed his mind?

Blaine sat next to him on the bed and grabbed his hands, making him stop before he pulled the thread on his pants loose.

“Kurt look at me.”

Kurt was looking down at his lap and he let out a sigh before he looked up at Blaine with wide eyes that Blaine couldn't read.

“Is everything okay?”

Kurt bit his lip. “I love you Blaine.” He gushed out quickly and then looked at Blaine with such trepidation that Blaine had a hard time understanding what was going on.

Blaine smiled, those words sinking into his skin and making him feel like he was floating. Kurt loved him. Kurt loved him. “I love you too.”

A smile twitched at Kurt's lips. “So… you're brother seems to think we can be together.” Kurt said glancing away.

Blaine's hurt shuttered in his chest. “Can't we?”

Kurt looked at him sadly. “Not forever.”

Realization hit Blaine like a wave. “My Lifemate letter.” He said. “You're worried about my Lifemate letter.”

“It just means that there is an expiration date on us. If there were to be an us.”

Blaine nodded and looked down at the bedspread. “I understand if you don't want to give this a try Kurt.” His voice was a bare whisper and he felt like the next few moments might break him.

Kurt reached for Blaine's face and tilted his chin up so that their eyes met. “Maybe I'm selfish Blaine, but our timeline doesn't make me want you any less. I don't care, I want you, I love you.” 

Kurt's eyes were watering and Blaine couldn't hold back anymore, he surged forward bringing his lips to Kurt's. Kurt sucked in a quick, surprised breath of air and then wrapped his arms around Blaine pulling him closer and closer. Hands drifting up his back as lips heatedly moved together.

Kurt's skin was hot and tingling as Blaine kissed him and Kurt grabbed onto him as they toppled down against the mattress. Gasping and kissing recklessly, lips pressed against any part of Blaine's skin they landed on. Kurt felt like he was going to buzz out of his skin with need. The need to have Blaine close, the need to know that Blaine loved him as much as Kurt was in love. The need to know that they'd be happy together even if it wouldn't be forever. He just needed Blaine right now. All of him.

Blaine seemed as desperate as Kurt felt, panting and gasping as his hands roamed Kurt's body and his lips moved across Kurt's lips and down his neck.

“God Blaine.” Kurt breathed.

Blaine paused for a moment and hovered over him bringing their faces close. “If you are willing so am I to give us a chance I am.” He said with a kiss. “I'll be yours for as long as you'll have me.” He kissed him again.

Kurt laughed a little, so full of joy. Even the knowledge that it couldn't last wasn't enough to steal his happiness in this moment.

“We'll have to be careful.” He said as Blaine's lips moved to his jaw. “People will need to think I'm happily married to Cooper or the Lifemate Registry will investigate.” Blaine's lips were hot on his neck. “We… we…” Kurt's thoughts were getting jumbled. “We won't be able to be a couple publicly.” Blaine's lips settled on the sensitive skin between his neck and his shoulder and Kurt groaned as his eyelids fluttered close.

“But we'll be together?” Blaine murmured against his skin.

“Yes.” Kurt breathed out.

“That's all I need.” Blaine's hands were sliding against Kurt's skin under his shirt making him shudder. He needed more of Blaine; he started tugging Blaine's sweater off of him and then attacked the buttons of his shirt.

“Is this okay?” Kurt asked.

“God yes.” Blaine shrugged his shirt off as they pulled apart a bit and knelt on the bed, Kurt eyes glanced over Blaine's body the cuts on his face and the bruises on his stomach making Kurt want to cry a little.

“Are you in pain?”

“No.” Blaine said, he leaned forward and kissed Kurt. “Not with you.”

Kurt knew he should roll his eyes at such a cheesy line, but he couldn't when Blaine was looking at him with such sincerity in his eyes. Kurt pulled his own shirt over his head and blushed when he saw Blaine staring at his exposed skin.

Blaine blinked rapidly and then reached out to brush his fingertips down Kurt's chest and abdomen stopping at Kurt's waistband. Kurt shivered at the touch goosebumps rising on his skin.  He reached down and covered Blaine's hand with his own and then with his other hand he unzipped his pants and started shimmying out of them. Blaine watched him, his breathing heavy and his tan skin flushed. Kurt hesitated a moment before he pulled off his briefs as well. He trusted Blaine, he felt safe with Blaine.

Blaine whimpered a little, eyes growing round, and then reached for his own jeans slipping out of them. He looked at Kurt for a long moment and Kurt gave him an encouraging smile. He was baring all here, but didn't want Blaine to feel like he had to. Blaine dived in for a quick kissed before working his underwear off of himself.

They knelt on the bed just looking at each other for a moment, before Kurt burst out in laughter. Kurt had never just looked at a naked man before and he felt a little light headed. Blaine was so beautiful.

Blaine looked at him worriedly for a moment before he started to laugh as well, his cheeks turning a lovely shade of red. Kurt pulled him close, practically slamming their bodies together as they fell back down on the mattress again.

Kurt giggled and then kissed Blaine's mouth, letting his tongue explore as Blaine's hands found Kurt's hips and hung on tightly. Without even thinking Kurt started rutting against Blaine, his own erection getting hard against Blaine's. It felt better than anything Kurt could have ever imagined.

Blaine lifted and wrapped a leg around Kurt's thigh and tilted his hips up against Kurt's, moaning as he did. “I... I love you.” He panted out.

Kurt couldn't even speak, but he hoped Blaine could feel how much he loved him. They rolled over onto their sides still tangled together as Kurt worked his hand down Blaine's lower back to his ass until his fingers were able to grab and hold on.

Blaine bucked and cried out. “Oh god, yes, do that.”

Kurt bucked against Blaine, their erections sliding almost painfully together.

“We... we need…” Kurt gulped. “We need lube… and …” He couldn't say anymore as Blaine's hard cock slid against his own.

Blaine pulled his face back a little. “I know Cooper has some in his room.”

“Go.” Kurt said. “Go please.”

“What?” Blaine pulled his body away from Kurt slightly to look at him better. “But Cooper might be out there.”

“He's your brother!”

Blaine smiled and kissed Kurt's forehead. “Fine.” He got up and grabbed the blanket from the end of the bed wrapping it around himself. Kurt tried to hold back a laugh at the sight.

“Hey. No laughing.” Blaine said. “It isn't easy to look dignified when you are going on a condom dash!”

Kurt rolled over to his back and covered his face when his hands holding back his mirth. When he looked up again Blaine was just standing there staring at him. “Blaine.”

“Right. Right.” He said his voice hoarse and he left the room.

Kurt took a deep breath and moved to rest his head on a pillow trying to strike a sexy pose for when Blaine got back, but he just felt ridiculous. He was rewarded though when Blaine came entered into the room shutting the door behind him and let out a long sigh, eyes roaming Kurt's body.

“God Kurt. You're so perfect.

“Oh please.” Kurt said but couldn't keep the pleased smirk off of his face. Blaine let the blanket drop and Kurt took in a quick breath. Blaine really was the perfect one. Lean and compact and, fuck so lovely. Blaine hurried back over to the bed and attacked Kurt with a long deep kiss that left him a little breathless.

Blaine dumped a handful of condoms and a tube of lube on the bed. "Please Kurt."

Kurt licked his lips and picked up the lube, coating his fingers as Blaine kissed down his body driving him wild. Blaine got to his hard cock and licked across the head of it making Kurt cry out.

"If... If you keep doing that this isnt going to last long."

Blaine hummed and then stretched his body over Kurts as Kurt moved his hand down between their bodies slowly circling Blaine's cock with his fist and coating it with lube. Blaine moaned and tumbled against him and Kurt's eye filled with happy tears. Reached for Kurt's erection working his hand over it and soon they were rocking together, easier now with the lube between them.

Kurt glanced at the condoms, but his didn't think they were going to last long enough to need them. Kurt pressed in changing the angle of his thrust and Blaine let out a whine that make Kurts cock throb.

They rolled over again until Kurt was on top of Blaine leaning over him and rolling his hips against Blaine, both of them rutting against each other. Blaine kissed him and Kurt moaned into it. Blaine was a panting whimpering mess under him, plaited and open for him.

Blaines breath was uneven and Kurt pause a moment even as his body trembled with desire. "Are you okay?" Kurt asked.

"Im fine." Blaine said almost groggily. "Never thought… I'd have this with you... I..." He bucked and whined and Kurt felt like he was falling apart watching him. Kurt thrust against him again and whimpered. He kissed Blaine's neck, whispered nonsense to him as they continued to move together, sweat slick minds fuzzy with desire.  

Blaine lifted himself up a little to kiss Kurt deeper and they bumped teeth and then noses, Kurt let out a breathy laugh as Blaine feel back against the bed with a smile. Kurt laid down over him and kept moving, the sensation of having Blaine's body and limbs all around making him feel complete.

Blaine began to grunt and pant, their kisses growing sloppy and Kurt could feel Blaines hot erection sliding against his stomach. Blaine moved a hand down to Kurt's ass and hung on as his cries got louder and louder before he threw his head back and came. The sticky warmth between their bodies and the sound of Blaines hoarse cry brought Kurt close, he moved against Blaine a few more times and then the tight heat in his belly snapped and he was his cum mixing with Blaine between their hot skin.

“Oh god Blaine!” He cried his body trembling as heat and pleasure and joy rushed through him before he toppled down onto Blaine.

They stayed together for a moment their bodies sweaty and close. Kurt blinked open his eyes and lifted his body a little. Blaine was staring at him, his face relaxed and a smile tugging on his lips. Kurt kissed him again and then slid up his body to get a better reach, Blaine moaned as their over sensitive cocks brushing together.

Kurt rolled off of him, but Blaine just looked at him with wide eyes and Kurt didn't want to be far from him for long. His whole body felt like jelly as he leaned off the bed and picked up the blanket Blaine had dropped cleaning himself off and then wiping off Blaines stomach. He then collapsed next to Blaine tangling their legs together and wrapping Blaine in his arms.

Kurt's eyes scanned over Blaine's flushed skin that still had ugly bruises splotched across it from yesterday. “That wasn't too much was it? I didn't hurt you did I?”

“No Kurt. That was… perfect.” He answered as his eyes fluttered closed

"I love you." Kurt said and Blaine smiled and drew Kurt in closer until his head was resting on Blaines chest.

"I love you too." He said with a sigh.

Kurt couldnt help the little laugh that bubbled out of him. This was the most perfect moment of his life and he didn't want it to end.
