Part four.

Blaine woke up to his hair being ruffled. He jumped, someone was touching him.

"Hey, Blaine."

Blaine opened his eye, slowly looking around to find the face that greeted him. He smiled as he saw the familiar face. "Coop!" He exclaimed, happy to see his older brother after so long.

Cooper sat down beside him. "Hey," he said, grabbing Blaine's hand. "Mom told me about what happened. How are you doing?"

Blaine closed his eye and focused on the strong, warm hand that held his. "I've been better, Coop." He whispered, the familiar feeling of his throat tightening becoming more noticeable. "I'm blind now."

Cooper stayed quiet for a minute, not letting go of his younger brother's hand. If anything, he held it tighter. "What did the doctor say?" He asked slowly, like he was carefully selecting the words.

Blaine swallowed, trying to ease the lump in his throat. "He's hopeful. He thinks I'll get most or all of my vision back."

Cooper smiled. "That's great, Blaine!" He told him, running a hand through Blaine's curls.

Blaine nodded slowly, not looking his brother in the eye. "Yeah. I just..." he trailed off, closing his eye.

Cooper frowned. "Hey," he whispered, moving so when Blaine opened his eye he would be in his line of vision. "What's wrong, kid?" He asked, rubbing Blaine's shoulder.

Blaine let out a strangled whimper. "What if it doesn't come back? What if I end up losing my eye? What if I can't play music anymore? What if mom and Kurt leave me-" He cried.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Cooper interrupted, pulling Blaine into his arms. "Its okay. Everything is going to be fine. I've got you, little brother..." He soothed, rocking his crying brother back and forth.

Blaine fell into his brother's chest, gripping Cooper's shirt and sobbing into it. "I'm sorry." He whimpered, adjusting his position so he was right up against his brother.

"Hey," Cooper whispered, running a hand through Blaine's hair in an attempt to sooth him. "Don't be sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about."

Blaine sniffed from Cooper's grip. "What if I don't get my vision back?" He hiccuped, "what if-"

"Stop right there, Blaine." Cooper said, cutting him off. "What ifs are not going to make this any better. Have what ifs ever helped you before?"

Blaine shook his head. "No."

"Then why are you doing it? You're worrying yourself sick about something you have no control about."

Blaine sighed, leaning back in his brother's hold. "I guess... I guess I just let my mind wander too far off.." he whispered.

Cooper looked down at his brother. "Why do you think mom and Kurt are going to leave you?" He asked, pulling Blaine closer.

"I'm useless, they have to do everything for me. Sooner or later they're both going to hate me." Blaine told him, his voice cracking towards the end.

"Hey, Blaine, listen to me." Cooper said, sitting Blaine up so their eyes locked. "You are not useless, and they both love you. You're not useless, little brother. Don't say things like that."

Blaine looked down. "I'm sorry." He whispered, fiddling with his fingers.

Cooper shook his head, but let the apology slide. "So, how is Kurt taking it?" He asked.

Blaine smiled weakly. "Better than I am."

Cooper wrapped an arm around Blaine. "Of course he is. You're such a drama queen, little brother." He joked.

Blaine chuckled, leaning into his brother's arm. "Apparently, you've never met Kurt."

Blaine closed his eyes and let himself relax in Cooper's arms. He hadn't seen Cooper in almost two years and they didn't talk often. So Blaine let himself cherish the feeling of his brother's breathing against his ear and the sound of his heartbeat. Allowing the steady beat to steady his own. "I love you, Cooper." He whispered, gripping his brother's hand.

Cooper smiled. "I love you too, Blaine." He replied, squeezing Blaine's hand. "It's time to stop crying, little brother. It's time to go out there and show the world what Blaine Anderson can do. Show them that even blindness won't stop an Anderson."

Blaine nodded. "Thanks Cooper."

Cooper hugged his brother. "Anytime, squirt."
