Not my characters, just some wishful thinking of what could happen.

Beyond Green Eyes

Part 1

Once he was settled in his seat, Blaine couldn't help think about his conversations with his parents prior to leaving for the airport. Yes, things had gotten infinitely better between he and Cooper since his visit to Lima, but he was still shocked that Cooper wanted him to come and stay with him in New York for the last two weeks of his vacation. Or was it his parents' insistence on him going? Either way, Blaine was looking forward to it, especially since this impromptu trip had caused a bit of stress in his relationship with Kurt.

"I still don't see why you have to go Blaine; this is going to cut into our last bit of time together." Kurt told him as he packed his suitcase.

"Come on Kurt, don't be so dramatic. You were the one that pushed me to fix my relationship with Cooper."

"I know I did. I just didn't expect something like this to happen. Plus, I don't get why it's so important to your parents that you go." Blaine just shook his head in response. He didn't quite get it either, but ever since his parents came back from visiting Cooper something had changed and he had to admit he was a bit curious to find out what.

As he listened to his music Blaine's thoughts continued to wander. The summer had been a bit of a blur for the most part. He had seen or spent time with almost everyone be it either from McKinley or Dalton, that is everyone but Sebastian. From what Thad had told him once the school year had ended Sebastian left Ohio within a few days. He had been in touch with some of the Warblers, but not much. In fact some of them were a bit worried as it was unlike Sebastian to go completely off grid like this.

Mind you, Sebastian disappearing made Kurt completely happy. He still didn't understand how Blaine had forgiven him let alone become friendly with him again. If it was up to Kurt, Blaine would have no contact with the meerkat" whatsoever.

Meanwhile in New York Cooper was pacing around the kitchen. "I honestly don't know how he's going to react Lex."

"From what you've told me, it should be fine. Even though I still think you should have been a bit more forthright with him one of the numerous times you've talked to him."

"I know." Cooper replied as he leaned his head against the wall. "I…I just don't want this to destroy what we've worked so hard to rebuild. I love having my little brother back in my life again."

"You won't destroy anything. If anything I'm guessing that he's going to be shocked and once that wears off things will be fine."

Ladies and gentlemen, we've begun our decent. We should be at the gate in approximately twenty minutes.

With that announcement Blaine glanced out the window at the city below. He wasn't quite sure why, but he couldn't help feel as though this was the beginning of a major change in his life.

Standing just outside the security gate Cooper couldn't stop running his fingers though his hair. He was so anxious to share everything that was going on with Blaine, yet scared at the same time. But any doubts he was having were soon washed away as he saw Blaine walking through the gates. Without a hesitation Cooper pulled Blaine into a huge hug, shocking Blaine slightly. "I'm so glad you're here man." Cooper told him as he let him go. The smile on Cooper's face spoke volumes. Their relationship had changed.

The two continued to talk on their way to baggage claim. Blaine couldn't help laugh as Cooper basically rattled off a check list to him, making sure he brought everything his Mom had asked him. "I've got everything Coop, don't worry. I double checked, so did Mom and Dad which was a bit shocking as you know how he feels about packing." Cooper nodded knowingly as they waited for Blaine's bags. Once they had everything they headed for the parking garage. "Hey Coop, so how cramped are we going to be in your place?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that I know most places in New York don't have a lot of space. And since you're just in town for that movie your shooting I just…" Blaine let his words trail off as he saw a slight look of confusion on Cooper's face.

"Trust me man, the last thing we're gonna be is cramped." Cooper replied as he stopped next to an SUV.

"Forget where you parked?" Blaine asked with a smile. But the next thing he heard was a chirp and the doors to the black Range Rover unlocked and Cooper raised the back hatch.

"Nope." He replied as he loaded Blaine's bags in back. "Now get in, there's someone anxious to meet you." Blaine did as his brother asked, still slightly shocked by what Cooper was driving.

"I take it that means I'm going to finally meet the lady in your life." Cooper nodded in response as they made their way out of the garage. "Mom and Dad love her, just so you know. They couldn't stop talking about her after they got home." A huge grin crept across Cooper's face and he didn't even realize it. "You really love her, don't you?"

"Yea." Cooper replied. "She's added so much to my life Blaine that I don't even know where to begin. I keep asking myself how I got so lucky." As Blaine tried to stifle a laugh Cooper couldn't help ask what was so funny.

"Dad basically said the same thing when he and Mom got home. He couldn't help wonder what she saw in you. To which Mom replied with a playful slap to the back of his head and something about the fact that the two of them weren't much different." As Blaine spoke he noticed Cooper turn onto Broadway and began taking in the sights. There were only going to be a couple more turns before they arrived at the house. "You live here?" Blaine asked as they waited for the gates to open. Cooper nodded as he pulled in. "I didn't think there were places like this in the city."

"They're here. Most are close to a century old if not older." Cooper replied as he got out of the SUV. "You coming?" He asked as he got Blaine's bags out of the back. Blaine shook his head, grabbed his carry-on and got out. Shortly before they reached the front door Cooper took a deep breath. "You ready?" Blaine nodded and Cooper opened the door. "We're back!" He called out into the vast foyer as Blaine took in the grand surroundings.

Before he had a chance to say anything he glanced up and saw a beautiful, bubbly brunette making her way down the massive staircase. "I was beginning to worry about you two." She said as she got closer. "Was traffic really that bad?" She asked as Cooper gave her a hug. After Cooper let go, he still kept an arm wrapped around her waist. "Lexi, I'd like to introduce you to Blaine." A smile crept across her face as Blaine pulled her into a hug.

"Hope Coop here warned you that I was a hugger."

"Not a problem, so am I." Just as they were letting go the front door popped open.

"Lex, they didn't have exactly what you wanted so I got you mint brownie burst instead. I hope that's…" Sebastian stopped dead in his tracks as he took in the scene in front of him. "Hey Blaine, how was your flight?" He then proceeded to walk passed the three of them and into the kitchen as Blaine just looked at his brother and Lexi.

With the look in his eyes, Lexi knew that Cooper hadn't filled Blaine in on everything on the ride from the airport. So she looked at Copper, then at Blaine. "Guess Coop here didn't fill you in on everything, so I guess I need to. Your brother introduced me as Lexi, but formally speaking I'm Alexis….Alexis Smythe." Cooper and Lexi just looked at Blaine as her words processed in his head.

"Wait….so…you're…."

"I'm Sebs's sister."

"Blaine, you okay buddy?" Cooper asked as his brother seemed at a total and complete loss of words. Blaine nodded as took in everything that just happened. "I'm really sorry man. I should've told you everything before you even got here it's just…I didn't know how." Blaine could see the sincerity in his brother's eyes as he spoke as well as the concern in Lexi's.

"It's okay, honestly. I could see how it could be awkward considering everything that has gone down between me and Sebastian, but we've gotten passed it. Heck, I'd say we're actually in a better place than we've ever been, much to Kurt's chagrin." Blaine could see a sense of relief wash over both of them as he spoke. "Can I ask one question though?" He asked looking more at Lexi than at his brother and she gave him a nod. "What's with calling him Seb?"

Lexi didn't get a chance to answer as Sebastian walked back into the foyer. "That's because she feels Sebastian sounds stuffy. So depending on her mood I'm Seb, Sebby, or Bas." He answered as he tossed a bottle of water at Blaine. Happy with what unfolded Lexi asked Sebastian to show Blaine up to his room. So he grabbed one of his bags and they headed up the stairs.
