A/N:
Kuya - "older brother", which is something a Filipino would call an older male relative who isn't an uncle, father, grandfather, etc.

Blaine was almost done putting away his things when his mobile phone sounded. He was in Kurt and Rachel's apartment and Blaine knew Kurt was in the next room, so he stopped for a moment to think about who might be calling him. He picked up the phone and to his surprise, an unknown number that started with the country code 63 was calling. Someone was calling him from the Philippines.
Blaine opened Kurt's and his shared bedroom's window to go sit in the fire exit where the reception was best. It would be terrible if he lost the connection. He dusted off the third step up from their floor's landing, sat down, and pressed CALL. "Hello?"
"Kuya, it's me,"
Blaine was the second to the youngest among the cousins, which could only mean, "Sunshine. Honey, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
Sunshine started talking to him in rapid-fire Tagalog. Exhausted from moving, Blaine could only process a few words at a time, but he let her vent anyway, waiting for her to calm down. When she started to wind down, Blaine whispered comforting words to his cousin, encouraging her to tell him how he could be of help to which Sunshine finally quieted down and said, "I-I need your help. My parents will hate me and I don't know what to do. I didn't mean for this to happen, I swear!"
Blaine's hand shot up and covered his mouth. "Oh, honey... if you are pregnant it's your choice what to do with it. I know Aunt Racquel will not force you to -"
"Um, what? No! It's not – I can't be - I'm a lesbian, Kuya Blaine!"
"What?"
"I said, I'm a lesbian. I'm not pregnant and I don't think anything I do with my girlfriend will render me so," Sunshine laughingly declared, her voice slightly shaky with new tears.
"Oh."
"Oh, indeed. Really, Kuya. You need to learn how to listen to people. It's not like I'm speaking light-speed Tagalog here," Sunshine joked.
Blaine muttered, "You were just a minute ago,"
A moment passed and an awkward silence yawned between the two relatives.
"Kuya?" Sunshine ventured. "KUYA! Say something!"
That shook Blaine out of his rut. "Oh, sorry! Hang on. I need to process this," he fretted.
"YOU need to process this? I would have expected that out of anyone from our gargantuan family except YOU. YOU need to process this? Forget it, Blaine. Just... forget it."
"Shine!" Blaine called, but the line was already dead.
