Hey! So this is the second chapter of my first ever fic, I have no beta so bear with me if there is any mistakes. Also I wrote the first couple of chapters before big brother so I haven't based cooper on his character in the show, I've always just envisioned Cooper differently to the canon version.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters in Glee =)

New York City, the place of dreams, will always be known to Blaine as the city he ran away to. Since college graduation in 2016 Blaine Anderson had been running, hiding & lying. Blaine was what you would call a trust fund baby. He was part of a rich family where everything had been handed to him on a plate and that included his acceptance into the University of Chicago. However Blaine wanted to work for his achievements and didn't need any help from anyone, he knew he could make it on his own. See, it had always Michael Andersons (or 'father' to Blaine) dream for Blaine to become a highly respected and successful lawyer, problem was, it was never Blaine's dream.

Blaine had witnessed the same thing happen to his older brother, Cooper; he too was forced to study law. However Cooper had been smart enough and found a loophole in his father's ridiculous plans, he became a lawyer in the media industry. Blaine had always admired Cooper to this day, how he managed to both obey their fathers wishes but still pursue his dream of working in the music industry. Blaine however didn't want to be behind the artist, he wanted to be the artist. So that's how he ended up in New York, lying to his family. If anyone where to ask Blaine's parents where he was they would automatically say 'working for a Human Rights law firm in Chicago' as they fully believed this to be true. Cooper was the only one who knew the truth. To this day Blaine had never forgotten the love he felt for his brother the day he told him of his plans.

Blaine had been sitting at his computer staring at the airline homepage. He had to go now; he couldn't stay in Chicago any longer. He grabbed his phone and dialled the only person he knew he could trust.

"Hey little bro, miss me already? It's only been less than 24 hours" Cooper teased on the other end.

"Coop, I need your help."

Cooper straightened up immediately, something was wrong, he could tell. "Blaine are you alright?"

"Can I stay with you? In New York. Just for a couple of days 'till I find a place of my own to stay." Blaine stammered out quickly.

"Sure B, but why? I thought you were staying in Chicago?" Cooper questioned, he didn't understand why Blaine would consider coming to New York.

"I can't do it anymore," Cooper had never heard Blaine sound so vulnerable before "Dad wants me to do this lawyer crap, but I can't. I can't lie to myself anymore. I want to perform Coop, and New York is where I need to do it."

Of course Cooper had immediately agreed, Blaine had moved to New York, found an apartment with two roommates and set out to make it on his own no help. In the coming months Blaine soon found that luck didn't tend to come easy to him.

On a Friday in June Blaine had just finished playing his usual gig at the coffee shop when his phone started ringing. Cooper flashed across the screen, Blaine huffed, today had been a long day and he could not deal with Coopers chirpiness right now.

"What?" Blaine grunted.

"Love you too, little brother" Cooper laughed on the other side.

"Listen Cooper did you want something or..."

"Yeah actually" Cooper interrupted "I need a favour." Blaine began to say no before Cooper interrupted again. "And before you say no, don't forget you still owe me for letting you stay with me."

"Damn!" why did he always have to bring that up, Blaine though violently, "Fineee," he drawled out.

"Excellent. Listen how far are you from my office?"

"Couple of minutes why?" Blaine wondered.

"Do you have your guitar?" Cooper questioned again.

"Uh huh" Blaine replied dumbfounded, what was he up to now?

"Great, stand outside my building and sing one song. Only one. Then leave, okay?"

"Fine, but why am I doing this?"

"No questions just do it. I'll see you later."

"Cooper!" Blaine nearly screamed just as Cooper hung up.

Nevertheless Blaine made his way to the building, cursing Cooper on the way and played the first song that came to his head.

After finishing the last few notes of 'Teenage Dream' Blaine silently looked around expecting something, anything to happen. Nothing. With a dejected sigh he began to leave, swearing to kill Cooper When he next seen him. As he started to walk his phone rang, fully expecting it to be Cooper he pulled it out of his pocket violently. That was until he caught sight of the caller ID. With a small smile he answered "Hey babe."
