Author's Notes: Hey guys. Sorry this took me so long to post. I did some major mapping and it took me longer than I thought it would.

The boys' messages from the previous story (Private Messages) is referenced here so you will need this to remember whose messages are whose.

Blaine

Kurt

Domestic Partners

Chapter 3

The Downside to Grand Gestures

Kurt whistled "Defying Gravity as he walked up his staircase, two steps at a time, careful not to drop the box he was holding. "Hey Babe, how was your d-" He stopped mid-sentence when he heard the music coming from their bedroom. Blaine was playing beautifully, but he only played the Beatles when he was incredibly happy or depressed, and since he had chosen, "Hey Jude," Kurt knew it was the latter.

He quickly sliced the turtle cheesecake, Blaine's favorite, and placed a slice on a saucer. He poured a glass of herbal tea and walked slowly into their bedroom. He smiled proudly as he watched his fiance's nimble fingers grace the piano keys. He sat the plate and glass on a coaster atop of the piano and propped his elbow up on the top, resting his chin on his fist as Blaine finished the last few lines.

"That sounds amazing, Babe. You know I love it when you play the Beatles. Bad meeting?"

Blaine sighed. "It could have been better. I just got some bad news.

"What's wrong?"

"Cooper is leaving."

"Leaving the show or the city."

"Both." Blaine facepalmed. "Crap! I keep forgetting that I'm not supposed to give you spoilers."

"So he's been written off indefinitely?"

"I think so. I mean, with the scene we shot today, I'd say it's pretty final."

"Wait, are they killing off Dylan?"

"Shoot, I did it again. I'm not saying anything else," Blaine chuckled.

"So, he's also leaving New York? Is he going back to Ohio?'

"Heck no. Cooper thinks he's much too big for Lima. Actually, he's got an audition in L. A. for a Michael Bay movie."

"That's great! Wait, you said there was bad news. Is that it? Cooper moving away?"

Blaine's eyes darted to the floor. "Um, that's not all of it. The show is being sued."

"Why? The writing isn't that bad," Kurt teased.

"Hey, I tried to get you on the staff, but somebody thought it might be too much temptation to have me so close. That, and you didn't think you could tame your jealousy of Mine and Sam's onscreen relationship."

"You're right. Maybe you should tell them I want the job. I mean, it may increase my shot at getting into Sam's pants, that is, if he ever wore any."

Blaine rolled his eyes playfully. "Very funny, although he doesn't wear pants much, does he? Speaking of what's in his pants, he got a new modeling gig, and he wanted me to give you these. He wouldn't take no for an answer," Blaine said, handing a brown paper bag to Kurt.

"Oh, the Wonder Butt undies. Tell him thanks," Kurt smiled.

"Wait, seriously? You really think you could fit your ass into those jeans you wear when they have that much padding?"

"Haha. You're a regular Robin Williams. They are for an article Isabelle wants me to write. It 's for an experiment actually. I'm supposed to go to the same club on different nights, one night wearing the butt enhancing underwear and one night with just my regular underwear, and see if I attract a different type of man."

Blaine shook his head. "I don't think I approve of that assignment. I mean, we are engaged. Couldn't she have Chase do the research? Or maybe you could get Elliott. He's single."

"Chase isn't into the club scene. And Elliott can't go into those places anymore, not since his character has gained some recognition. You remember what it was like."

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But I don't want you going out to those places alone, or I really might get jealous or worried. It may not be safe."

"Yeah, I need to talk to you about that. You look concerned. The lawsuit. Are you involved?"

"Yes, unfortunately, Sam and I both are."

Kurt shook his head. "Let me guess. I bet this has something to do with the leak, and that slimy meerkat, Sebastian."

Blaine nodded. "Yeah, he's named the producers, the cast members, the writers. Pretty much everyone."

"The only ones he could actually prove a case against is the wardrobe department. I mean, did they intentionally try to make him look like a character on a Nick Jr. Show?"

Blaine laughed. "That was the one department that he didn't name. But Kurt," Blaine's eyes shifted to the ground. He didn't only name people associated with the show. He named you."

Kurt's smile faded. "Me? What did I have to do with him leaking storylines."

"He alleges that I was leaking information pertaining to the show the entire time. His lawyers have even subpoenaed our private messages."

"Wait, he can't do that, right? I mean, they were private. And I didn't even realize who I was talking to. How does he even know about them?"

Blaine's eyes shifted to the wall. "My video. I never took it down from YouTube. I kinda blurted out that we communicated through private messages. Quinn suggested that I turn them over to the legal department so that they can prepare me and possibly you for any questions that might arise."

"Blaine, what exactly is he trying to claim?"

"That although we were all responsible for the leaks, he was the one fired. He said that his name was so sullied in the scandal that he can't get work now. He's suing for defamation of character."

"Ha, he'd have to have some character first," Kurt retorted. "I can't believe that they are making us turn over our messages."

"Don't worry, Kurt. They are probably going to settle this out of court."

"I'm worried. Blaine. Sebastian's father is a state's attorney. He's been to court before, I'm certain."

"Regardless I don't think they will find anything."

"They will because you did what he alleges. You gave me spoilers."

Blaine cocked his head sideways. "I'm pretty certain I didn't," Blaine replied.

"And I'm certain that you did. Not only did you tell me that you were lobbying to get Sebastian fired, but you also told me about Cane split."

"I don't think I did," Blaine replied sincerely.

Kurt shook his head, as he went to his desk and grabbed his laptop. "I hate to tell you but you did. Not blatantly, but you did confirm some rumors for me regarding the finale. Remember?" Kurt asked, pulling up his fanfiction account. He showed Blaine the exchanges that worried him.

I have to ask. Where did you come up with the plot line about Cam being interested in Whitney? You don't have to tell me. It was such an interesting twist, and I didn't see it coming. I can't wait to see what you have in store next.

Regarding the plot line, did you think it was too out there? I read on Tumblr that Cam and Shane were splitting, and one blog I follow even said that Cam might be having an affair with one of the ladies. Cam and Savana have zero chemistry, but Whitney and Cam actually would look sweet together (although Cam belongs with Shane. To me, they are endgame, which is why I ended their relationship open-ended like that. They are like Noah and Alley, tethered together. Though they may drift apart, they will always come back to one another. Soulmates. ). I hope the rumors are wrong and they are ok, but I don't expect it to be that simple. :(

I agree that Whitney and Cam have amazing chemistry. However, I don't think it would fly well with fans if they ended up together. People love Whitana. They also love Cane, and I think there will be riots if either couple splits up. I can't wait to see what happens on the show and in your story.

"I never said one way or another," Blaine replied.

"Not right there, But you did here. See," Kurt said, scrolling further down.

I can't wait to see what you do in your story. I will always read each update as soon as I see that you've published, I wish that your storyline was used instead of what happened on the show with the breakup. Ugh!

Blaine sighed. "Well, shoot. I guess I did. But that's not enough to prove anything. "

"It doesn't have to be. He just has to have enough there to collect evidence. It's up to the attorneys to prove it from there."

"But they won't because we weren't actually doing anything wrong. So, where did you get the spoilers?"

"Well, I had more than one site, but the main one I used was JBIMuskrat."

"Wait, Jacob Ben Isreal?" Blaine blurted.

"Um, yeah. Sorry. I didn't realize who he was. I actually think I found his page after I started following another page."

"What page?"

"SePartner'sFan," Kurt replied.

"Shit! We're screwed."
