Author's Notes: Let's see who can uncover some references from Private Message here.
Cooper is leaving Partners to move to L. A. to audition for a Michael Bay movie.
In Private Messages, Sebastian was stealing Cooper's scripts. Sebastian was fired. Cooper was demoted last season, and now the producers decided to release Cooper in order to make Elliott a main cast member. Cooper filmed his final scenes with Blaine and Sam, and he will be moving soon.
Blaine and Kurt are engaged. The date, February 16, has been determined but not announced to anyone but their closest friends.
Kurt has not told anyone about the threatening messages he's received from Blainiac 216.
Private Messages
Chapter 4- Big Brother
"I'm not sure that I should let you use that packing tape after you told Kurt in your messages that you wanted to tape me to the wall," Cooper chuckled as he lifted a box and stacked it on top of another one.
"You were never supposed to read those messages, Coop," Blaine retorted, as he tore off an extra long strip.
"I'm glad that I did. That facial scrub recipe has done wonders for my skin. It also tastes delicious. I tried making it myself, but I used vegetable oil instead of coconut oil."
"Coconut oil and vegetable oil have a completely different consistency. Surely, you didn't use that on your face." Blaine laughed.
Cooper shook his head and grabbed a picture frame from the wall and handed it to Blaine to wrap. "No. Kurt showed me how to make it correctly. It was kinda awkward actually. I sniffed his face cause I was curious if he used the sugar stuff or the duck fat. Then, I remembered that he said that he hated that. I explained that I tried to make the scrub but I did something wrong. He was nice enough to make me a huge batch. It was so good, I ate it all in a week."
Blaine shook his head in disbelief. "Seriously, you aren't supposed to eat it. Remind me to never share his hair remover recipe."
"Kurt already made me some of that too. You know, you really owe me."
Blaine cocked his head sideways as he gently placed the bubble-wrapped frame into the box. "How do you figure?"
"Duh, you never would've met Kurt if it wasn't for me."
"What makes you say that?" Blaine asked as he ripped apart a perforated bubble wrap sheet in preparation for the next frame. "I'm the one that messaged him."
"Yeah, but he would've never written the story in the first place if it hadn't been for me. I was the one that gave you the script for Partners," Cooper smirked as he removed another frame from the wall.
"Actually, the way I recall it, you tried to drag me down to the studio to read for the parts of Cam and Shane. You wanted me to play the role of your lover."
Cooper placed the photograph on the bubble wrap sheet. "I told you that I hadn't read the script yet," Coop sighed, ruffling Blaine's hair.
"You do that again and you really will be taped to the wall, so help me" Blaine teased.
"Oh come on Buddy, you know you'll miss me."
"Maybe just a little bit," Blaine admitted. "I'm surprised that you are even allowed to leave since all of this nonsense with the lawsuit began. Sebastian named you too, didn't he?"
"Yep, and he had a lot of nerve doing that, especially since I think he's the reason they didn't renew my contract. They said I was a lying ability. I don't even know what that means."
"Liabilty, Coop. It means that the producers feel like having you on the show is a risk," Blaine explained.
"I don't get it. I wasn't the only one that leaked information. Santana and Brittany both gave spoilers directly to the geeky afro guy. All that I did was trust the wrong person. Why didn't you tell me what a weasel he was, Blaine? I didn't even realize that you two dated until all the leak stuff became such a big mess."
"I'm sorry," Blaine sighed. "Honestly, it wasn't something I liked talking about. He made my life a living hell my senior year. I moved to New York to get away from him, and then he followed me here and was cast in the same show I was on. Not to mention, I didn't really tell a lot of people that we dated. Some of the Warblers knew, and Sam, but I really didn't want dad finding out. You know what he was like after I came out. He thought that I was just going through a phase. You should have seen him when I introduced him to Kurt."
"Does he know about the engagement?" Cooper asked as he grabbed another frame and handed it to Blaine.
"No, not yet. We don't really talk much anymore, especially since the divorce. It's just so uncomfortable. Not to mention that he doesn't approve of me marrying a guy, Blaine said.
"So are you going to invite him to the wedding?"
Blaine nodded as he carefully placed the wrapped frame inside the box. "Yeah, just not now. I mean, we haven't sent out any invitations yet."
"But you've set a date, right."
Blaine nodded again as he wrapped another picture frame that Cooper handed him. "Yeah, but we haven't really announced it yet. I don't want it to get out. The paps are still trying to get photos of us together, and Kurt doesn't really want them in our private business. I really don't either, especially not our wedding."
"Are you doing it here or Ohio?" Cooper asked.
"Ohio. Kurt wants to get married in the same place that his parents were married. It's a beautiful location, much more private. And that way, most of our family will be able to come."
"Does mom know? I'm sure she's willing to help Kurt with the wedding plans."
Blaine chuckled. "Of course she does, although I didn't get to tell her. Kurt grabbed my cell out of my hand and blurted it all out before I even got a chance to say a word. I think they had the whole wedding planned by the time they got off of the phone. Kurt's already started on her dress."
"So when do I get my invitation?" Cooper asked.
"I sent a 'save the date' to your assistant. She's already reserved your tux as well. All you have to do is show up."
"I think I should take offense that you don't trust me enough to just tell me. I also think I have the right to be offended that you chose Sam instead of me as your best man."
"Because it took me forever to convince you that I was seeing Kurt and not Sam. You were so convinced that I was in a relationship with Sam for the longest."
"Yeah, until I walked in on you and Kurt. I mean, I thought Kurt would be the submissive one in the relationship. You surprised me." Cooper handed Blaine another frame to wrap.
"And you surprised me. You'd think you'd learn to knock on the door before you just barge into mine and Kurt's apartment."
"It was Santana's fault. She sent me over there. She said she thought you guys had seen a rat or something, with the way you guys were screaming and all," Cooper laughed.
"I figured that she had something to do with it," Blaine chuckled. "So, when is the audition?"
"Friday and I'm supposed to dress warm, I think. Sylvia said something about it being cold when I read."
"Oh, it's a cold read. That will be right down your alley. Do you know what movie you're auditioning for?"
"No, but It's Michael freakin' Bay. It's gotta be the new Transformers movie."
"Micheal Bay didn't direct the last film. I think they said he's got several smaller projects in the works, including a documentary about elephant poaching."
"I don't even know what that is," Cooper sighed. "So, I don't know when I'll move into my own place, but when I do, you'll send the boxes, right?"
"Of course, just call me when you get settled," Blane replied with a smile.
"Will you visit me?" Copper asked reluctantly, his eyes avoiding Blaine's.
"Absolutely. It might be a little hard. You know what the filming schedule is like, and now that Kurt's working full time for Vogue dot com, his schedule is crazier than mine. Plus, with the wedding, we'll be pretty busy, but with some notice, we should be able to work something out. It'll be nice to visit L.A. again. Kurt was absolutely starstruck at the Golden Globes last year when Helena Bonham Carter bumped into him. " Blaine replied with a smile.
"I can't believe that you got nominated for an award before I did," Cooper pouted. "Too bad you lost. I was rooting for you, man. It's ok though. This movie will be my big break."
"I hope it will. I really do. But, Coop, promise me that you won't get so big that you don't come and visit."
"I promise, man, under one condition. I stay in a hotel because if I walk in on what I saw last time I'll have to start therapy again to get those images out of my head," Cooper said, embracing Blaine tightly. "Alright. why don't we call it a night on the packing and you go home to Kurt."
Author's Notes:

I have had some amazing reviews and comments that have reduced me to tears, but the other night I experienced a first.
