When Rachel Berry turned one, Leroy and Hiram, her proud fathers, brought home her little brother Blaine. He looked just like her, having the genes of the same father, and his smile never left his face. Rachel found him her little toy, and as she managed to treat him like her own son, they grew up to be closest than everything they knew.

When Rachel was only four, and Blaine was just a month before three, the Berry siblings discovered the arts of performing. Their encouraging fathers built a small stage in the basement and the two young children used to go down every night before going to sleep, and put up a performance for their fathers, usually including some songs and choreography by Rachel.

When Rachel started her first grade, and Blaine was still too young, she started bringing friends home. She befriended a young girl going by name of Mercedes. They spent days together, putting up their own performances, and the girl basically took Blaine's place in Rachel's life. Feeling a bit lonely at the age of five, Blaine turned to peaking on kids. Leroy and Hiram got a lot of angry calls from Blaine's teacher, and after a short talk with some of the parents they helped Blaine befriend a small shy kid called Donny.

But when Rachel started her year as a sophomore, and added Kurt Hummel to her and Mercedes's clique, Blaine decided to leave his friendship with Donny aside. He was starting to feel like an outsider at his Middle School. He heard boys talking to each other about girls they've dreamt of, and sharing their taste at girls, but Blaine felt like something was not right. Somehow he found it easier to enjoy the girls' talks about handsome boys. He found it true that Cedric from Harry Potter was good looking, and he started feeling weird.

And even though he did not grow up in a regular family, and he was not scared of being gay having two gay fathers, he felt like it was a hard thing to tell. He knew how hard it was to live in a world that is so mean to the gays, and he knew how his fathers suffer.

But he didn't have to hold it too long. At almost sixteen, when Blaine was just about to start his first year at high school, he went to his fathers to tell them that he wanted to transfer to an all boy school. Their fathers said it was no problem but the fees were high and they just had to know why.

So Blaine hesitated for a few seconds, but the gaydars were already on and he knew it well. It was not even two words in the sentence and the word "Gay" was thrown in to the conversation. He admitted to being gay, got hugs and kisses, and was free of describing the laughs and peaks he got at his old school for the suspicions of him being gay.

The friendship between Rachel and Blaine grew stronger when Blaine told his older sister that he was gay. She started being her annoying self and look for a match to her baby brother, but the community in Lima, Ohio was almost gay-free, and the idea of her best friend – who was the only out gay she knew in Lima – with her baby brother, was a disgusting thought she preferred ignoring.

Blaine berry started studying at the Dalton Academy for boys. He joined the Glee club called the Warblers, and got all the solos in there even though he was a sophomore and they usually gave them to seniors. He would drive to school and back home, and hour and a half in each direction, so he could live at home and stay close to his fathers and sister. He refused to get in a romantic relationship, even though there were enough gays in there, and it was a zero-intolerance policy school.

And whenever Blaine got back home from school, he would go to Rachel's room, and they would have a small talk about their day. She would tell him about their Glee club called the New Directions, and about he boyfriend Finn, who was a footballer – a thing that interested Blaine itself. He would tell her about the amount of homework he still had to do, and they would both share information about the small things that made them life. It was the easiest way to end each day with a smile, and after realizing that they never skipped a talk.

Sometimes Blaine would get into a silly mood, and would go to Rachel's room after coming out of the shower. He would shake his head like a wet dog, so his curls flew everywhere and his sister got all wet. At those times she would shout till she lost her voice, she would go to their fathers to complain, and she would say that he acts just like a baby.

To that Blaine would say that when she calls him her baby brother she wncourages it, and to that she would stick out her tongue and run off to the bathroom to take a towel.

That was how life looked at the Berry household, but they were all okay with it. That was their family after all, and you cannot choose your family.

Author's notes:

Hello!

This was my try at the first chapter of a story called The Berry Family. I hope you liked that one, and it would mean a lot to me if you left a little review.

I know it was weird, but that's because I preferred the first chapter to be focusing on the background and not include any dialogue.

I promise the next chapters would include people actually speaking, because as much as it was hard to read, it was even harder to write.

I'm also aware that the siblings-au is a little weak now, but I have belief that it would grow.

Plus – if everyone has an idea or a note about the next chapter, do tell. I'm interested in hearing you!
