It was actually Cooper who found Blaine and Kurt sleeping together. They were spooning and Kurt was the big spoon. All curled up against Blaine's back. They did look cute together. But Cooper's fiancée was coming over and he wanted them to be ready and not asleep.

So he pushed Blaine's shoulder hard. Because of the push Blaine rolled over right on top of Kurt. Kurt fell on his back and Blaine just nestled his head in Kurt's neck. Cooper sighed and slapped Kurt's cheek. A bit harder than he wanted. Kurt shot up and Blaine fell from his chest. He held his cheek in his hand. "That actually wasn't a nice way to wake up." He mumbled. Blaine went through his eyes with the back of his hand. "We can't have it all in live, can we?" Cooper asked and then Kurt looked at cooper. It was like that he hadn't seen cooper before. Kurt looked at him strange for a few moments and got from underneath Blaine.

"What's the time?" Blaine asked sitting up too. "It's 10 o'clock" cooper said. "get up you 2. My fiancée is going to be here any minute now." Cooper said. "Give us a moment, please." Blaine said standing up and picking up his pants and shirt.

"Okay, get ready and come downstairs." cooper said running out of the room. "Your brother is weird" Kurt said. Standing up and walking to his wardrobe. "I know. I'm gonna put on clothes. Will you wait on me?" Blaine asked. Kurt hummed. "Yes. Give me 10 minutes" Kurt said. Blaine nodded and went to his own room.

10 minutes later Blaine was standing in Kurt's room again. Kurt was still figuring out his hair. "Do you ever let your fringe flat?" Blaine asked. "When I'm sick. Yes" Kurt said with a comb he pulled his hair up and he tried to use as little gel as possible. It was actually pretty nice. Kurt added a layer of hairspray and stood up.

In the same time cooper's fiancée arrived. She was a little brunette girl with adorable blue eyes. "Cindy. Babe. I missed you" cooper said kissing her quickly. "Mom, dad. This is my fiancé. Cindy. Cindy this is my mother. Grace and my father. Marcus" cooper said. "Hi Mr and Mrs Anderson" Cindy said politely shaking their hand. "My brother is here too. But I just woke him up." Cooper said. "Follow us inside, Cindy" Marcus said. Cindy looked at the big house. She's from a little town in Indiana. They always been rather poor. But, the Anderson's are rich. It's weird to her.

"You have a lovely house." she said when grace took place on the couch too. "Thank you Cindy." she heard someone running from the stairs. Must be Cooper's brother. But instead she saw 2 boys enter the room.

The shortest guy went over to her immediately. "I'm Blaine Anderson. I'm cooper's brother. You must be his fiancé" he said hugging her. She nodded. "I'm Cindy" she said. The 2th guy looked a bit taller and slimmer. He also went to greet her.

"I'm Kurt Jensen. I'm a Danish exchange student actually." He said shaking her hand. "They always say that they aren't a couple but I found them sleeping together this morning." Cooper introduced them.

"That's not true, I was sleeping in Kurt's bed because you were sleeping in mine. You sleep naked Kurt doesn't. It was 2 am. I'm his roommate. My decision was made quickly" Blaine said.

"You're taking a matrass from the attic today Blaine" Marcus said. Blaine nodded a bit caught. "I was planning on." He said. "Anyway. Cooper if you want to stop teasing your brother. Do you want something to drink. What do we have for the girl, Grace?" Marcus asked. "Water is okay for me" she said.

"Can I have her glass of cava?" Blaine asked. Grace shook her head. "Your brains are gonna die little one" Marcus said. "Good try squirt" cooper said. Blaine sat down on the carpet while Kurt went to get a chair.

"Cooper never tells about you-" Blaine says. "Squirt!" Cooper said. Blaine shrugged. "That was only the first part of my question. So let me start again. Cooper never tells about you Cindy, how long are you guys together?" He asked. "Well, thank you cooper and oh um. 5 years?" She said. Blaine looked between the 2 of them.

"Oh maybe you did tell about her coop. But, I zone out when you tell about your girlfriends. I guess that I thought that you just had a different girlfriend every year." Blaine explained. Kurt padded his shoulder before he sat down on the chair. "It's okay Blaine. You have said enough already." He said. Blaine nodded.

"So, Kurt. How come you are here?" Cindy asked. "I haven't had the best relationship with my father and everyone around me so I started breaking under the pressure. My father was fed up with my behaviour so he decided to get me out of it for a year, which has been very good for the both of us." Kurt said. "Were you adopted or something?" She asked. Kurt his eyes widened and he shook his head.

"No. I'm not adopted. But my father is a really powerful man and he has a really busy job and he is always away. I remember my mum saying that she could count the days that he was home every month on her fingers. My mother died when I was 8. But, I turn 18 and will take over his function soon." He said. Cindy nodded impressed.

There was a little silence and everyone just kind of waited for anyone to say something. It was Blaine who took the initiative. "I'm hungry" Blaine said standing up and walking to the kitchen. "So am I" Kurt called leaning over his shoulder. "Noted" Blaine shouted back.

Cindy had some difficulties with taking in the house and situation. She hasn't been raised homophobic but it always been a thing in other people's lives. Now with her soon to be brother in law who is very sure about his sexuality it feels a bit weird. It's not that there is any PDA from Kurt and Blaine's side, but Cooper had warned her that they are very close.

Cooper took her hand and she was shaken out of her fantasy. "You look a bit pale. Everything okay?" he asked. Cindy leaned in his side. "Yes, I'm just a bit overwhelmed. You grew up in this house?" she asked. Cooper nodded. "Yeah. We moved here when I was 6. Few years before Blaine was born. We lived in a tiny flat when I was younger." Cooper said.

"How old is your brother?" she then asked. "16. He's quite a bit younger than me. But he's a wonderful guy. Good voice too." cooper said.

"Are you that kind of brother? You know going to talk to his boyfriend and having that talk." Cindy asked more joking than not. She has never met Cooper's family, even after all those years and it's a new side of him that she has to get used to. When she met Cooper she hadn't thought that she would ever sit at his parent's house.

"Actually yes. Kurt?" cooper said. "Hvad?" he said shaken out of his concentration. He quickly corrected himself when he realized that he had said it in Danish. "what?" he said.

"Don't act like you weren't listening to our conversation, Kurt." cooper said. Kurt shook his head. "No I was chatting to my stepbrother actually. On facebook" Kurt said. Cooper nodded not impressed. "I'm going to have to talk to you about how you treat my brother." Cooper said it a bit jokingly but Cindy felt that Kurt took it serious.

"Oh. I treat him as my best friend" Kurt said glancing at his phone for a second. "he's just joking, Kurt. Don't worry." Cindy assured Kurt.

"Oh okay." Kurt said a bit confused. Blaine just walked back in the room with a plate in his hand. He was also dragging a chair behind him.

"Breakfast is served" Blaine said dropping the plate in Kurt's lap. "Pop tarts as breakfast. How healthy of you Blainey" Cooper said. "You have your fiancé for breakfast every morning so I don't think a pop tart will hurt me." Blaine said.

Both Cindy and Kurt looked at Blaine in shock. "Blaine. Have some manners, please." Kurt said. Putting the plate in front of them. He didn't know Blaine could get so comfortable around people that he felt the need to embarrass them.

"He's right though" Cooper said. Kurt now looked from Blaine too Cooper. What is with those Anderson Brother's when they are together? Kurt saw how Cindy looked away from him. She was really embarrassed. Kurt pitied her.

"Don't worry. My ex once told someone about our sex life and that person sold it to a paper. I could literally read my sex life and what I liked in the paper. Try to eat dinner together with your family after something like that right?" He said laying the attention on himself instead of Cindy.

Cindy was touched that Kurt would say something that embarrassing just to make her feel better. She let go of a sigh but a blush still tinted her cheeks.

"We might want to find a copy of that paper for Blaine" Cooper said. Kurt nodded. "Well. It's probably still on the internet but you wouldn't be able to read it because it's in Danish" Kurt said now unlocking his phone and probably answering his step brother.

Cooper's parents entered the room again and they sat down on the couch.

"Cindy, Cooper said that you are a kindergarten teacher. How do you deal with all those little children? We had trouble with 2." His father said.

"Well I love little kids" Cindy said. "Oh you're a kindergarten teacher?" Blaine asked very enthusiast. Cindy nodded finding it amusing how happy he looked.

"Yes, and although it can be very Stressful. I wouldn't want to do anything else with my life. Unfortunately I don't find a job at the moment" she said.

"We're going to move to Cleveland next month where I know that Cindy will have an opportunity for a job" Cooper said.

"Congratulations Cooper" Cooper's father said. Cooper smiled at Cindy and nodded. "Thank you." He said. "No seriously. We all thought you would never settle down and live the bachelor life. Not that we minded. I mean. We still have another son. After we found out he was gay we considered another child. But that wasn't an option." Marcus said.

"DAD! You're being so painfully honest with us today." Blaine said.

"Son, we knew when you were 6." His mother said. "I'm feeling so appreciated right now. You wouldn't know" Blaine said. Kurt squinted at Blaine but he wouldn't add anything to the conversation.

"We're just really happy for cooper" His father said. Blaine nodded. "So am I. It's true that we thought that you would come home with a blond dumb big breasted girl. So someone like Cindy is refreshing." Blaine said.

"Blaine, who even are you?" Kurt asked. Looking up from his phone to shake his head at Blaine.

"When did you know that you wanted to be a kindergarten teacher?" Blaine changed the conversation again. He was very interested.

Cindy smiled, it was clear that he also considered being a kindergarten teacher. "Since I was a young girl. Kids always interested me and after high school I knew I wanted to do that with my life." She said.

"Do you have any siblings Cindy?" Grace asked. Kurt now locked his phone and put it on the coffee table.

"I do, I have a younger brother and sister. They are a few years younger than me. They still live at home in Indiana." She said.

Cindy looked around the 5 people watching them. They all looked like a warm family, even though Kurt was just an exchange student. He already was fully integrated in the family. Sometimes the only thing they had when she was younger was a house and each other, so she really appreciates this.


"I'm going in town for some boxing day shopping. Anyone fancies coming with me?" Grace asked.

"Mom, there is football match on the tele." Cooper said. Marcus nodded. "I'm sorry sweetheart." He said his eyes not leaving the screen. As if Grace had expected them to come with her anyway.

Kurt got up. "I'm always in for a good shopping spree." He said. Cindy also walked towards the hallway to pick up her coat. "Bye sweetie." She said kissing Cooper's cheek. He just patted her shoulder not looking up.

Kurt looked at Blaine who was more watching his phone than the game, but he knew that he preferred the warmth of his home over shopping on a day like this.

"Then it is just the 3 of us." Grace said taking her keys.

They all got in the car and Kurt took the backseat. "Is this your car?" Cindy asked. Grace nodded. "Yes, we have a few cars. One for me, one for Marcus and then 1 that a chauffeur drives to bring the boys to school and then Blaine has a car that stands in Dalton and Kurt you have a car too, right?" She asked. Kurt nodded.

"Yes, it's a rental. it used to stand at my ex his house but I drove it to Dalton a few days ago." He said.

Cindy feels kind of uncomfortable with the wealth she had landed in. She knew Cooper was from old money. But, she didn't know it was that bad and she had never expected to it being so obvious when she would be in his hometown.

"We had 1 car growing up." She said shyly. Kurt shook his head. "Oh, don't worry, If I could have chosen my life I would also want a warm nest with parents who actually care about me instead of people who are paid to take care of me. Money doesn't make you happy." He said. It's one of those discussions that will last forever. A lot of money but no warmth or no money and only each other. Although she knows that Cooper and Blaine had been raised in a good family, clearly Kurt hasn't been.

"Although, working hard in your life and being able to make it for you and your family is a great feeling." Grace corrected Kurt. Kurt who was sitting on the edge of the seat and nodded and pushed himself back so he his back rests against the leaning.

"It's actually great that we go shopping now because we go to a New year's eve party in a few days and I still search a dress." Cindy said.

"Oh, Kurt is the right person for that." Grace said. Kurt nodded. "Believe it or not but I am one big stereotype. So don't worry about that." Kurt said.


They arrived at a shop in lima that Kurt liked to go the best. "Isn't this super expensive?" Cindy asked lingering in the doorway.

Kurt nodded. Going to a dress that he liked. "Yes, that it is. But, I have connections everywhere. So what was your budget again?" He asked. Looking up from the clothing racks.

"Maximum 100 dollars. I don't have a job. Remember." She said.

Kurt nodded. "I'm sure that I'll get you something for under 100." Kurt said.

Lies, but for a good cause. Most dresses here are 100+ and some even 200+.

"You have size 4 right?" He asked going through the racks. Cindy looked up confused at Kurt. "Yes, how do you know?" She asked.

"I already told you that I am interested in fashion right. Well, that's how" Kurt hated sometimes that he was such a stereotype. But he just enjoys being into fashion and musicals.

Kurt saw a dress that is the dress for Cindy. But is also costs 300 dollars. "Grace, look." Kurt said. Grace looked at the dress Kurt was holding. It was a nice non slutty but still stylish young dress perfect for new year's eve.

"This gorgeous." Grace said. Kurt nodded. "I know." He said before showing her the price tag. Grace her eyes widened. Kurt nodded. "I know" he said again.

"But a real man always has a plan." Kurt said before ripping the price tag off. "This is how Kurt with his connections gets a dress from 350 to 60 dollars." He said putting the tag in his pocket.

"Kurt, you can't." She said. Kurt shook his head. "Oh believe me, I can." He said straightening his back now and looking for Cindy.

"Cindy, you have to try this on." He said. Cindy her eyes widened when she saw the dress. "Where did you find this?" She asked. Kurt shrugged. "Somewhere in this store." He said. Pushing her and the dress to the fitting rooms.

Kurt waited outside of her cubicle. He knew she would fit in the dress, it was made for a woman with her proportions. Sadly enough so are all other dresses. Kurt doesn't know why they do that because if they would change the snit a little for bigger sized women they would look gorgeous too in dresses.

"I have it on." Cindy then said coming out of the fitting room. Kurt was right. "It's gorgeous." Kurt said. It looked exactly like he thought it would look on her.

"I love it." She said. Kurt nodded. "You really have to buy it!" He said. Cindy nodded not really convinced. "Yeah, but there is no price tag and I'm sure it's out of my budget." She said.

"Take it off and I'll ask it." Kurt said. She nodded. After a while she gave Kurt the dress holding the curtain so he can't see more than her arm.

"If it's more than 100 I'm buying it." Kurt said. Not waiting on a reaction.

Kurt immediately went to the counter. He knew how much the dress was and he had no problem giving her a secret Christmas story. "You wanna buy this dress?" The shopkeeper asked. Kurt nodded. "It's for my friend." He said. Taking his wallet out and putting the price tag on top of the counter.

"It's one of our pretties dresses." She said. Kurt nodded. "I know. I've never heard of the label. Is it new?" Kurt asked.

The saleswoman nodded. "It's my daughters label. She a few years older than you are. It's only for sale in this shop." She said. Kurt couldn't believe that.

"She has so much talent. Does she make men clothes too?" He asked. The saleswomen shook her head.

"No, she doesn't. But you look interested. If you ever want to meet her. She's in the store every Friday afternoon." She said.

Of course Kurt was interested. If this girl is as young as she is and she already creates things like that, he would love to sketch out something together with her.

"That's 360 dollars." She said when Kurt put his credit card in. "Thank you and have a good afternoon." She said. Kurt nodded at her and took the receipt before she could put it in the bag. "Thank you." He said.

He put the receipt in his pocket and went up to where Grace was looking through the coats section. "You really did that for her?" She asked. Kurt nodded.

"I like to think that the money from my bed great grandfather gets to be spent for a good cause." Kurt said.

"You are from such old money that I even wonder if there ever was anybody in your family who had to work for it." She said. Kurt who knew the answer shook his head. "Believe me. Everything has been handed to my family. My whole life and people dream about that, but for me it's like a nightmare and I can only try to cope." Kurt said.

Cindy was walking towards them. "It was only 60 dollars." Kurt said handing her the bag.

Cindy looked like she couldn't believe it. "Only 60 dollars?" She asked. Kurt nodded. "Yes. It's a new label. Trying to keep their price low." Kurt said.

"That's cool." She said handing Kurt 60 dollars.

"Yeah, it really is." He responded.
