Last night's Glee was amazing! I love Matt Bomer. Anyways, I got this chapter up as soon as I could. Thank you to all who read and/or review. I am so happy people are liking this story, I makes me want to write more and more. So anyways, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or the characters.
Blaine did not want to let go. The Warblers had finished their rendition of Somewhere Only We Know and Kurt had just told Blaine he would never say goodbye to him. Blaine hugged his boyfriend tighter. After a few short moments the boys let go.
"I'll call you later tonight," Kurt promised.
"I'll be waiting," Blaine said.
Blaine watched as New Directions pulled Kurt into a group hug. Blaine knew this was where Kurt belonged. Blaine was off for the rest of the day. He could not pay attention in class or when someone was talking. All he could think of was his gorgeous boyfriend. It had been less than a day and Blaine already missed Kurt being at Dalton. Wes, David and Thad decided to cancel Warbler practice since they knew Blaine's head and heart would not be in it today. All the Warblers were going to miss Kurt at Dalton but it was hitting Blaine the hardest.
"Blaine, Nick and I are going to see a movie. Do you want to come with," Jeff asked as the three boys walked out of Dalton.
"No thanks, I am just going home," Blaine responded before saying goodbye to his friends and headed home.
"Hello Sweetie," Mrs. Anderson said as Blaine walked into the house.
"Hey Mom, how was your day?"
"Just fine, work went well. How are you doing? Kurt went back to McKinley today correct?"
"Yeah, he did. The Warblers performed a goodbye number for him today."
"That was nice. Is Kurt coming over later?"
"No, his friends wanted to catch up with him tonight. I think they are all going out to dinner. But he is going to call me later."
"Well just so you know, dinner is at six tonight. Cooper is coming as well."
"He is coming out of hiding," Blaine joked.
The previous week Cooper had met Jen's parents for the first time. Before he left to meet them Cooper almost had a nervous breakdown. After, Blaine, his mom and Jen constantly told him that everything would be fine he calmed down. However, Cooper had yet to tell Blaine or his mom how the dinner went and had been avoiding them. Blaine kept saying that Cooper was hiding form them.
"I can't wait to find out how his dinner with Jen's parents went," Mrs. Anderson said.
"Me too," Blaine said as before excusing himself and going up to his room. He laid down and grabbed the picture he had by his bed. It was a picture of Kurt and him. They were in their Dalton uniforms and Kurt's head was resting on Blaine's shoulder. Nick had taken it one day at Warbler practice. Blaine sighed. He did not know why he was so sad about Kurt transferring. It was not like Kurt was going away forever and Blaine would never see him again. He would still get to see, or talk to, Kurt on some weeknights and most weekends. Blaine knew Kurt was never as happy in the Warblers as he was in New Directions. Deep down Blaine always knew it was just a matter of time before Kurt transferred back. Blaine might be at Dalton but Kurt's step-brother and all his friends were at McKinley. Blaine would never stand in the way of Kurt's happiness. However, there was a part of him that didn't want Kurt to go back. It was selfish, he knew, but couldn't help it. Blaine loved holding hands with Kurt as they walked to class, the flirty notes they passed in class, the small kisses they would share at Warbler practice and Blaine was sure that Kurt was the only person in the universe that could look sexy in that Dalton uniform. At least at Dalton Blaine was sure that Kurt would be safe. Even after Kurt and many others reassured him that Kurt would be safe, he still felt unsure. However, he kept his selfish feelings pushed down and when Kurt told him he was going back to McKinley, Blaine supported him.
His phone ringing brought Blaine out of his thoughts. He picked up and said hello.
"Is mom in the kitchen," the voice on the other end asked.
"Coop?"
"Is mom in the kitchen?"
"Why?"
Cooper sighed.
"I need you to tell me if mom is in the kitchen or not."
"Well, okay," Blaine said.
Blaine walked down with his phone. He peeked into the kitchen and saw his mom cooking dinner. He quietly walked back up to his room.
"Yes Cooper, she is."
"Damn."
"What's wrong?"
"The kitchen is close to the front door and if I walk into the house she will hear me."
Blaine was confused.
"So?"
"I am not ready for her to bombard me with questions."
"You are still avoiding her?"
"Yes."
"You are having dinner with her and dad in less than an hour. Where are you?"
"In the driveway."
"COOPER!"
"Oh, I know, I'll walk around back and climb in your window."
"What? Cooper? Wait!"
But Cooper had already hung up. Blaine threw his phone on the bed before unlocking and opening his window. He saw Cooper sneak into the backyard and climb the tree closest to the house up to Blaine's window. Blaine stepped back as Cooper tried to get through the window. There was something very funny about watching your adult, older brother try to fit through a bedroom window because he is scared to face his mom. After some struggling Cooper fell through the window and onto Blaine's floor.
"When did these windows get so small," Cooper asked, "Because I had a much easier time getting through in and out of these when I was in high school."
"I don't think the window had gotten smaller. I think you have gotten bigg-"
"Blaine Anderson, if you value your life you will not finish that sentence."
Cooper sat in the bed.
"So how are you little brother?"
"Okay, I guess. Kurt went back to McKinley today."
"I thought Kurt was not safe there."
"He said he talked to the boy bothering him and that now he feels like it is safe to go back."
"Well, it is not like you will never see him again," Cooper said.
"I know, I do. I just loved being able to be with him all day."
"But Kurt is happy. That is the important thing. I'm sure everything will work out fine. Kurt and you are to in love to let something like going to two different schools break you up. Besides if you really don't like being away from him you could always transfer next year."
Blaine shook his head.
"I couldn't do that. I can't just abandon the Warblers."
Blaine really wanted to change topics.
"Speaking of significant others how is Jen?"
"She's fine."
"Oh, come on Coop. Please tell me how your dinner went."
"You are worse than mom."
"Oh, come on."
"It went fine."
"Fine," Blaine asked staring at his brother, "I give you every detail about my kiss with Kurt and when I ask you about your love life all I get in fine?"
"Okay, I'll talk so—"
"Blaine, dinner is almost ready. I thought I saw Cooper's car in the driveway but never heard him come in," Mrs. Anderson said as she walked into Blaine's room and saw both of her sons, "Oh, Cooper, when did you get up here? I didn't hear you come in the front door."
"Well, I did," Cooper lied, "You were busy in the kitchen so I just came up to see how Blaine was."
"Well how nice," Mrs. Anderson said smiling. "Dinner is almost ready and your father is at the table."
When Mr. Anderson sat at the table it meant he was ready to eat and did not like to be kept waiting. The boys followed their mom down the stairs and took their places at the table. Mrs. Anderson set the food on the table and the family started to eat.
"So Cooper," Mrs. Anderson said, "How was the dinner with Jen's parents? Were they nice? Was her sister there? What food was served?"
"Well, I think it went okay," Cooper said, "They seemed to like me and I don't think I did anything stupid."
"Of course they liked you," Mr. Anderson said, "You are an Anderson and they should feel honored that you are dating their daughter. What do this girl's parents do?"
"Her name is Jen," Cooper said, "Her dad is a veterinarian and her mom is a grade school art teacher."
"A vet and an art teacher," Mr. Anderson said with a scowl.
This is why Cooper had not introduced Jen to his father yet. His dad always found something wrong with the girls he dated which ended with a messy breakup. Cooper did not want that to happen to Jen and him. He did not want to lose Jen because of his father.
"They are very good people Dad. I believe the dinner went well. Her mother was very nice and welcoming. There was some tension with her father at first but I think that was because I'm dating one of his 'little girls.' I think that after he realized that I was not out to hurt Jen and I had good intentions things relaxed. We found out we had some common interests as well. Overall it was a very good night. Both of her parents were somewhat impressed I hope. Her mom said that she thought that I was the best boyfriend Jen ever had and the best dressed."
"What did you wear," Mrs. Anderson asked.
"An outfit that Kurt put together for me."
"Kurt? Blaine's friend," Mr. Anderson asked.
"Boyfriend, dad, boyfriend," Blaine corrected.
"So when am I meeting this Jen," Mr. Anderson asked ignoring Blaine.
"I am not sure," Cooper answered.
"Well I have to meet her to make sure she is up to Anderson standard if she might one day have the Anderson last name."
"Jen is amazing," Blaine said, "She is a sweetheart. She is nice to everyone, has a big heart, is loyal and makes Cooper beyond happy. Why do you always do this? You nitpick the smallest, most insignificant and stupid details of anyone who makes either of us happy. Do you know how many past relationships of Coopers you have destroyed? The only person you are hurting is Coop and me and mom because of how hard it is to see him be constantly crushed. I whole-heartedly believe that Jen is the one for Coop and you would be lucky if they got married and she took the Anderson last name and became your daughter-in-law."
The other three members of the Anderson family just stared at Blaine in shock. Blaine said he was not hungry and excused himself from the awkward situation. Cooper ran after him.
"Blaine wait!"
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For ruining dinner."
"You didn't. I wanted to thank you for standing up for Jen and us as a couple."
"You always stand up for me, besides he is just so frustrating. And he will not even acknowledge that Kurt and I are boyfriends. I am scared of the day that I introduce him to Kurt as my boyfriend. I can only imagine what he will say."
"I'll be there," Cooper promised.
Cooper and Blaine spent the rest of the evening hanging out like old times. When Kurt called Cooper decided it was time to leave and head home. That night both Cooper and Blaine knew that they could always look to each other for the support they would probably never receive from their father.
Hope you liked this chapter. I am not sure when the next chapter will be up but I hope to have it up soon.
Please leave a review.
