Prompt 38: Blaine doesn't just have one older brother. He has a younger brother as well. What happened to the youngest Anderson?
Kurt and Blaine sat in a pile of photographs around Blaine's room. "Oh my god! Blaine you have so many pictures." Kurt said.
"I know. It's crazy, my mom was a photographer before she had my brothers and I, so we have like professional cameras and stuff." Blaine said.
"Did you just say brothers? Like plural?" Kurt asked with a look of confusion on his face.
"What? No, I said brothers?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah, you did." Kurt replied, but he just shrugged it off and continued looking through photos. Soon he came across a box labeled Noah. Who was Noah? He opened the box and in it were pictures of three boys. One was easily recognizable as Blaine. His hair was curly and he had the largest smile on his face. You could tell which one was Cooper because he simply was pointing at the camera sporting his headshot smile. On the floor sat a smaller boy that looked exactly like Blaine and Cooper. Kurt took a good guess and made the assumption that he was Noah.
"Who's Noah? Kurt asked. Blaine's head instantly popped up. "This box is labeled Noah and there's a bunch of pictures of Cooper, you, and another kid who I'm guessing is Noah."
"You- You weren't supposed to- to open that box." Blaine stammered tears forming in his eyes.
"Blaine, honey, what's wrong? Tell me. Who is Noah?" Kurt said as he placed a comforting hand onto the small of Blaine's back.
"Noah is – is my little brother." Blaine choked out before erupting in series of sobs into Kurt's chest. Kurt pulled Blaine into a tight hug until his sobs turned to sniffles.
"Do you want to tell me about it? You don't have to, but you can if you want." Kurt said. Blaine nodded his head.
"Noah was three years younger than me. On my seventh birthday, he and I were running around. I hit a baseball into the street and I knew that I should have gotten it myself, but he wanted to show me he was a big boy. He ran into the street and then without warning a large SUV went speeding down the road and hit him. I ran out to him and he was unconscious. We got him to the hospital, but there was just too much brain damage. He was on a ventilator for a month before we finally decided to end his suffering and pull the plug." Blaine said. "Baby, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I know that losing my mom was hard and we had time to prepare for that. Sometimes cancer is fast, but my mom's was slow. I can only imagine how hard it was losing him so fast."
"I miss him so much sometimes. You know next week is his birthday. It may be stupid but I still get a cake for him every year." Blaine said.
"It's not weird. I go to my mom's grave on her birthday. Even though they're not here with us, it doesn't mean that their not always with us at heart." Kurt said pulling Blaine into a hug.
