It had been nearly a year since Cooper had seen his brother and Kurt, Skype chats not counting, so at first he thought that he must have forgotten how affectionate and cheesy they were together. He remembered that they were all lovey-dovey and almost gross, but had it really been this bad?

He walked into their cozy little living room on the afternoon of the second day of his visit to find them cuddled together on the couch. Blaine was playing with Kurts fingers.

"Thank you for making lunch baby." Blaine said.

"Thank you for cleaning up afterwards sweetie."

"No, honeybuns thank you for buying the ingredients."

"We did that together silly. Thank you for setting the table, Blainey boo boo boo."

Cooper threw up his hands. "Oh my god!" And left the room horrified.

He heard Blaine call out behind him. "What?"

Cooper was really enjoying his trip to France; finally seeing his little brother again was a huge relief, hed missed the little squirt like crazy. Hed missed Kurt too with his confident air and kind heart. Hed missed seeing them together and in love. But honestly their cheese-factor had escalated, there was no way they were this bad when they lived in New York.

Theyd spent the day in Paris sight-seeing and eating amazing food. The boys had done a good job making sure it felt like a family outing and not like Cooper was a third. Wheel. They were glad to have him here and he felt welcome. Now though they were heading back to their home in Villennes and there was only one seat left on the train.

"You can have it Blaine." Kurt said.

"No Kurt, you can have it."

"No you."

"No you."

"I dont want to sit while youre standing!" Kurt said.

"I dont want to sit while youre standing. Wed be too far away."

Kurt smiled. "You could sit in my lab."

"Hell no!" Cooper interrupted; hed been watching them with a disgusted look on his face. He sat in the chair himself. "You both can stand. Get a grip on yourselves!"

"Oh Ill get a grip on you." Blaine said looking at Kurt suggestively.

Cooper covered his ears and started shaking his head. "No… no."

Kurt smiled and leaned up against Blaine until more seats opened up. Cooper rolled his eyes, as he caught some kind of look between the two of them, sweet and full of a meaning that Cooper didnt understand. They were simultaneously the most annoying and most adorable people he knew.

Cooper came down one morning near the end of his visit to find Kurt standing by a chair in the kitchen with Blaine standing on top of if trying to reach something on a high shelf in the pantry.

"Yeah those arent the right plates." Kurt instructed below him as Blaine pulled something out. Blaine looked down and Kurt smiled, "I dont think Ive ever seen you at this angle.

"I dont think Ive ever kissed you at this angle." Blaine said bending over and kissing Kurt from above.

"Ugh." Cooper groaned. "Im making coffee. It is too early for this."

His brother and Kurt just laughed as Blaine got what Kurt needed down from the shelf.

Cooper had been visiting for over a week and Blaine and Kurt had been having fun messing with him. Blaine knew they were pretty cheesy together to begin with, but they have purposefully been turning it up a notch.

The first time they really got a reaction out of him was when they started thanking each other for everything and using pet names. Cooper had left the room looking terrified.

"Blainey boo boo boo?" Blaine asked looking at Kurt with a smile. "Blainey boo boo boo?"

"It seemed fitting after honeybuns."

Blaine laughed. "What? You dont like honeybuns?" He kissed Kurts cheek. "But you have such nice buns."

Kurt laughed and rolled his eyes. "We hardly have to try, this is the scary part. We are almost that annoying already."

Blaine lifted his eyebrows. "Cute. Not annoying. Never annoying."

The point wasnt to make Cooper wish he hadnt visited. Blaine adored his brother and had missed him so much. But sometimes, you just have to mess with your sibling. They spent a day in Paris and he and Kurt hadnt done anything totally embarrassing, at least not that they knew of, so when there was only one seat left on the train. They seized the chance with a "You can have it." No you have it." Play fight.

Kurt smiled slyly at Blaine and suggested he sit in his lap. Blaine knew they were just messing around but he couldnt help the fact that his cheeks felt a little warm at the suggestion. Kurt was doing that little smirk thing that he knew drove Blaine crazy, and here he had thought Kurt was just messing with Cooper. It seemed like he was messing with Blaine too.

Cooper solved the problem by striding between them and sitting in the seat himself. "Get a grip on yourselves!"

Blaine looked Kurt directly in the eye. "Oh Ill get a grip on you." He smiled suggestively and was rewarded by seeing Kurt blush in return. Kurt ended up leaning on him as they stood and Blaine wrapped an arm around his waist. Kurt looked at him and they both smiled. They had done it again; their pretend cheesiness had become real.

Kurt was making a big dinner on one of the last evening Cooper was going to be in town. Blaine was feeling a little frantic with the thought of his brother leaving and he knew Kurt had sensed that. He thought this dinner was probably meant to be a distraction for Blaine. Blaine appreciated it.

Kurt needed some plates from the pantry, the nice ones they didnt usually use, so Blaine was on a chair looking for them when Cooper entered the kitchen. Blaine looked down at Kurt as he was giving him directions and Kurts eyes sparkled.

"I dont think Ive ever seen you from this angle." He said and Blaines heart skipped a beat. Was Kurt doing the "be cheesy to annoy Cooper thing"? Or was he being serious? Blaine couldnt even tell the difference anymore.

"I dont think Ive ever kissed you at this angle." Blaine replied before leaning over to press his lips against Kurts.

Kurt reached up so his hands were behind Blaines neck and kissed him deeply making Blaines mind buzz. A part of him realized Cooper was still in the room and saying something about, coffee maybe? But mostly he could only think about the taste and feel of Kurts lips on his own.

Cooper was pretty sure he was getting immune to the lovey-dovey ridiculousness that was his brother and Kurt. Of course he was leaving tomorrow to go back home so might of been feeling a little more gracious because he was already starting to miss them both.

Maybe hed get a summer home here in Villennes. Actually yes, he was going to do that. It would mean being able to live near his brother months at a time when he wasnt working and when he wasnt here Burt and Carole would be welcomed to have free reign of the place. This was the best idea hed ever had. Blaine should be so grateful to have such an amazing brother.

He thought Blaine and Kurt were out at the market and would be back soon but as he made himself a little snack in the kitchen he realized they were out on the back porch their voices drifting through the window over the sink.

"I know Im being dumb." Blaine said. "Im just going to miss him. A lot."

Cooper watched as Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine and tipped their foreheads together. "Youre not being dumb and I know youre going to miss him, so will I. But he can always come back to visit again and someday well be able to go back to The States…"

Blaine laughed a little but it sounded sad. "I know, and Im so grateful he can visit now and I would never give up being with you. Never."

Kurt smiled. "I would never give up being with you. Not for anything."

They kissed lightly and hugged and then Blaine pulled back and wiped his eyes. "I love you so much honeybuns." He said with a huge grin.

"Oh my god! You cant start calling me that for real! That was just for show to mess with Cooper."

Cooper almost let out a whoop, but then covered his mouth. He knew it. He knew they couldnt really be that absurd.

Blaine chuckled and kissed Kurts cheek. "Honeybuns." And then his jaw "Sugerlips." And then his neck. "Sweetcheeks."

"Oh my god." Kurt groaned as his eyelids fluttered closed. Cooper stepped away from the window feeling like he had eavesdropped too long. He went back to the living room with the sandwich he had made and plopped down on the couch a smile on his face.

Okay, they could be that absurd, but it actually made Cooper happy because they were happy.

"Adorable idiots." He said to himself as he munched on his sandwich and decided to give them a few moments before interrupting them by marching out there, throwing up his hands and telling them to get a room.
