Chapter Twelve
'The AKL CBD'
~o~(O)~o~
When the bus arrived to take Kurt and Blaine to Auckland, Kurt couldn't be happier.
Although he would be too stubborn to admit that to Blaine, after all stopping for a week was his idea.
After shopping at would could only be described as the smallest mall in the entire unoverse, if it could even be called a mall, Kurt had been bored.
Blaine had many suggestions of tourist activities they could do, but they were all too dirty for Kurt's liking.
So instead Kurt surfed the internet and looked at things to do in Auckland, where they were heading now.
They were heading to the city district. Which meant huge office blocks, big malls and big brands. Kurt likey.
So as soon as they sat down on the bus, Kurt's face was literally pressed up against the window.
"Are we there yet?" Kurt asked, as Blaine sat next to him. "This is going to be a long day," Blaine sighed.
~o~(O)~o~
Two and half hours later. Two sick kids. Various quick stops. And a crying baby later, Blaine and Kurt stumbled off of their bus with great relief.
Blaine called for a cab to take them into the city, to their room at the Hilton, while Kurt looked a souvenirs at the bus depot, for something for his dad.
"I thought I d never smell fresh air again!" Blaine sighed, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist as he shopped. "Neither," Kurt smiled. "Poor things, it wasn't their fault," Kurt shrugged as he walked down the stores narrow aisle. Blaine snorted in disbelief. "Seriously, you were ready to get off and walk the rest of the way!" Blaine retorted. "It smelt." Kurt replied casually.
"Cabs here," Blaine said sometime later. "Let s get some rest, and then do some real shopping!" Kurt beamed.
~o~(O)~o~
The next day, Blaine's mother had organised for Blaine to meet up with his brother. Although she had told Cooper that he was meeting with a friend of hers, who needed a good tour around the city.
So of course Kurt wouldn t miss this for the world.
"Eat your breakfast," Kurt smiled as he took the seat opposite Blaine at the dining table in their hotel room. "Not hungry," Blaine mumbled, sipping at his cup of steaming hot coffee.
"Blaine, dear, I know you are nervous, but I'll be there, he's your brother after all." Kurt offered.
Blaine only frowned. "He can't be that bad," Kurt asked, curious.
"He left two weeks after I came out, never came back."
"Might not be because you are gay, Blaine,"
"Why else?"
"We shall ask him today, now finish your breakfast, and get dressed, we leave in twenty minutes. Let s not keep Cooper waiting now."
And with a flourish Kurt left the room to get ready.
"Easier said than done," Blaine grumbled, pushing his food sadly around his plate. "Big Mafia leader scared of his bog brother now?" Kurt mocked from the other room.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm eating!" Blaine shouted back.
Twenty minutes later, Blaine and Kurt were fully dressed and standing in the lobby of the Skytower. Cooper was to meet them in exactly five minutes at the food court upstairs, and Blaine was a mess.
He couldn't stop shaking, and Kurt had to literally drag him out of the hotel, causing a bit of a scene.
"Calm down," Kurt cooed, rubbing Blaine's back soothingly. "It will be okay, and if it isn't, we go straight back to the hotel for days and days of sex, deal?" Kurt whispered in Blaine's ear.
"Deal," Blaine croaked out.
They headed upstairs to wait. Although by the time they reached the meeting place, Cooper was already there. "Blaine?" Cooper asked as the approached. "Cooper?" Blaine replied. "Little bro, what are you doing here?" Cooper beamed, wrapping his younger brother in a massive bear hug. "Are you okay?" Cooper quickly added, checking and inspecting his brother for any evident damage.
"Y-yes, C-came to see yo-u," Blaine stuttered out nervously. Cooper raised his eyebrow at Blaine s sudden nervousness, and then noticed Kurt. "Blaine's other half I presume?" Cooper smiled kindly. "Nice to meet you," Kurt returned the smile and shook his hand. "Likewise," Cooper grinned like a child.
"Blaine, I've missed you so much, but with all the travel, and I hear all about your line of work from mom, I just haven t had the time to see you!" Cooper explained, as they walked into 'Ming Court' Asian buffet, to be seated. "This is such a great surprise,"
"Really?" Blaine asked hesitantly, as they took their seats and ordered drinks. "Why wouldn't it, you are my brother after all!" Cooper continued to smile.
"But-but don't you hate me?" Blaine asked, curious. Kurt's eyes widened at the sudden change of topic.
"No, why would I?" Cooper answered, surprised. "Because I'm gay?" Blaine replied. "Doesn't matter to me,"
"Really?" an equally surprised Blaine asked. Maybe Kurt was right. "Nope, never had cared, as long as you were happy," Cooper laughed. "Then why did you leave?"
"I left to see the world Blaine, not because my brother was gay. Is that what you though, all these years that hated you?"
Blaine nodded solemnly.
"Let s be honest kiddo, the only thing I don't like, is your job. And I know what mom tells me is the toned down version, and the version she knows is toned even further down. Regardless, we don't like it. It's not safe, and you are better than that. Especially after..." Cooper trailed off.
"After what?" Kurt asked, interested in what Cooper had to say.
Cooper looked into his younger brothers eyes and sighed. "After our dad was killed by the Mafia."
Blaine fainted.
Kurt knew that Blaine's father was dead. But neither he nor Blaine had known how, other than he was shot.
Kurt and Cooper quickly helped Blaine off of the floor before Blaine could cause a scene and the waiter got him some water.
"T-the m-mafia!" Blaine shouted. "Shh!" Cooper scolded. "My mafia?" Blaine asked. Cooper shook his head.
"Some guy named Franco." Cooper frowned.
Kurt went silent. "What s wrong, Kurt?" Blaine asked.
"I know Franco."
"How?" asked Cooper. "I took a loan off of him to find Blaine; he must have sent those guys after us. Holy shit!" Kurt explained.
"When I get back to Ohio-" Blaine began threatening when Kurt's phone went off.
"I have to take this, excuse me," Kurt left the dining room and went to the men s room.
"Dad?"
"Son, something s happened,"
"Are you okay? Carole? Finn?"
"Son calm down, it's Noah, he's in hospital. He got shot."
