The sun is now rising and the birds are chiming. Some people in the neighborhood are already starting off their day but Blaine and Rachel on the other hand are still asleep. Sleeping very comfortable as the two of them are snuggled to each other. Suddenly, Rachel's phone rang which making her wake up. She untangled herself on Blaine and she reached out on the nightstand to check her phone.
"Daddy Hiram" the name was flashing on the screen.
"Hey Dad." She softly said as she answered her phone, she sat up straight and Blaine moved slightly on the bed. So on, she started a conversation with her father. Hiram asked her about kind of lot of things, like how's their flight going to Los Angeles, if Cooper's place is nice, is Cooper a nice person, if she's ready for the Nationals show choir competition.
"Sweetie listen, I have to go now. I'll call you back later. Good luck on the competition!" Hiram said over the phone.
"Bye dad! Love you!" Rachel said, "Love you too!" Hiram said back.
"Was that your dad?" Blaine asked facing her. Now he's awake. "Yeah. he asked about our trip and so on." Rachel replied. "Oh I see." he nodded.
"This bed is really comfortable I can sleep here all day!" he happily said while hugging one of his pillows and she smiled down at him. "As much as I agree about what you said but we need to get ready it's already 9 in the morning Blaine, we still got some preparations to do." Rachel said as she looks at the watch and she stood up and Blaine grabbed her wrist.
"Give me a minute?" he grinned.
"Okay fine, stay at the bed but after I finish taking a shower you need to get up and get ready." she makes the deal. "Yes ma'am" he said and gave her a salute which made her laugh.
As Rachel enters the bathroom to take a shower Blaine continues to snuggle the pillows.
Meanwhile at downstairs...
Cooper was making breakfast and Kitty appeared in the kitchen.
"Good morning Kitty, what can I do for you?" Cooper asked as he looked up to see Kitty standing near the counter. "Well, I saw a pool there at your backyard. Can we used that?"
"Of course!" Cooper exclaimed. "You guys go have fun. But before you go swim, eat breakfast first."
Kitty nodded and jumped excitedly exiting the kitchen. "Thanks Cooper!" she shouted.
Cooper walked out from the kitchen to check Blaine in the living room but when he approached the living room there were no signs of Blaine. He also noticed that it looked like no one slept in the living room and now he starts to wonder. He heard someone in the dining area and he runs there to see who it was, he saw Ryder and Marley drinking some water.
"Guys, have you seen Blaine?" Cooper asked the couple standing in front of him.
"I saw him last night with Rachel." Marley said, "They were going upstairs and then they were holding some pillows." Ryder added.
"Okay." Cooper nodded. "Thanks guys. Go have some breakfast." Cooper said as he left the dining area to go upstairs to his own room.
"Blaine I'm done!" Rachel shouted as she got out from the bathroom wearing a robe and drying her hair with a towel. "Blaine I know you're awake. Get up." she said as she reached the bed. Blaine stirred a little and his back facing Rachel, he pretends to be asleep. "Don't force me to this Blaine." he feels her hand touching his arms and the hand shifted to his hips and...
"Okay! Okay! I'm awake!" Blaine laughed as Rachel started to tickle him. "Now get up!" she grabs his hand to make him stand up, he looks up at her with those fake tired eyes and she's about to tickle him again but he catches her hand and he holds it tight.
"I'll get up! I'll get up!" he repeatedly said. "My things are in Cooper's bedroom, I'll just meet you downstairs." he smiled.
"Okay." she smiled back at him and he left the room.
When Blaine got outside of the guest room, Cooper was already standing on the doorframe on his own bedroom which was just nearly across the guest room.
"Look's like someone had a wonderful night." Cooper smirked and Blaine just looked at the floor. "Good morning Coop." Blaine said as he pass by on Cooper, opening the door to Cooper's bedroom. "C'mon spill me the details." Cooper said smiling at Blaine when they got inside.
"There's nothing to tell."
Cooper raised his eyebrow and now crossing his arms. Not believing on what Blaine says. Blaine rolled his eyes, shaking his head,"come on Coop. Don't give me that look. I already told you. There's nothing to tell."
"But you like her don't you?" Cooper asked smilingly when he puts his arm around Blaine's shoulders.
"Coop, you know I'm gay."
"Well, isn't she the one who made you questioned that before?"
"We already figured that out. Besides, I was drunk and confused at that time." Blaine said as he continues to get his things from his luggage. "Okay fine. I'll drop the subject." Cooper said, his hands up like in defeat. When Cooper was about to go out from his bedroom he looks back at Blaine and he says,
"You know what? She's actually cute." he winked at Blaine and closes the door leaving Blaine alone chuckling.
"Good morning everyone!" Rachel greeted the New Directions members as she got outside to the backyard. The boys have already swum in the swimming pool while the girls choose to stay at the pool side. "Don't forget, we still have some rehearsals to do later." Rachel clapped her hands and everyone just nodded.
"Good morning Rachel!" Cooper greeted her as he appeared at the doorway. "Good morning too Cooper." Rachel smiled.
"Have you eaten breakfast yet?" he asked and she shook her head, "No, not yet."
"Come let's go to the dining room."
"Thank you." Rachel said when Cooper handed her a mug filled with coffee. "So, I heard about your TV show. I'm sorry about that though." Cooper said taking a seat across from Rachel, now taking a bite of his bread. "I'm trying to erase that from my memory. That was embarrassing." she said taking a sip of her coffee.
"Show business in L.A. is really tough. I've had experiences too." he sympathies with her. "Yeah well, I'm trying to get back on track now. Thanks to Blaine for helping me." she smiled. "I'm glad that you two found a support system with each other. You got him out from solitude since Kurt went to Paris."
"Looks like you two are in a serious conversation. What are you two talking about?" Blaine appeared in the dining room. Cooper and Rachel looked up to look at him and then Cooper looked back to Rachel, "Oh, we're just sharing some work experiences in L.A." Cooper said and Rachel nodded then she took a bite of her food.
"Are you hungry?" Rachel asked Blaine as he took a seat next to her. "Yes." he replied while rubbing his stomach. "Cooper made this delicious breakfast." she said sharing her plate to Blaine.
"I never thought your cooking skills would improve Coop." Blaine said after he finished the food in Rachel's plate. "There's always a room for improvement Blainey." Cooper said and Rachel giggled.
"Blaine just text me if your rehearsals are done." Cooper dropped them off to the venue where the Nationals will be held. All teams were given two hours each of rehearsals in the theater. "Okay. Bye Cooper!" Blaine waved goodbye.
As they got inside the theater it was a great timing, it was their turn to use the stage for rehearsals.
"New Directions?" one of the staff called them. Blaine and Rachel turned to look at the staff and nodded at her.
"Let's go guys! Let's get this rehearsals done!" Rachel said.
"Since I was a Warbler, I knew how they're gonna do their performance unless they're changing things. So our real problem here is the Throat Explosions." Blaine whispered an hour later while they're watching their team rehearse. Rachel nodded in response. "We have one hour left to practice." Blaine said while checking his watch.
"One hour left everyone! Let's run that one number again!" Rachel shouted, suddenly Blaine's phone rang.
"Hey Kurt."
"Hi Blaine. I just wanted to congratulate you, I heard from Rachel that you guys are in L.A. right now for Nationals." Kurt cheerfully said on the other side of the phone. "Oh, Thank you. It was pretty much a long journey. Who would've thought that me and Rachel would be here because we're the coaches of New Directions." Blaine laughed. "So how are you?" Blaine asked and continues to catch up with Kurt, he walks to a few steps away from Rachel.
"I'm glad you're enjoying there." Blaine said, a couple of minutes has passed since he answered his phone. "Kurt, I have to go now. It looks like Rachel needs my help now. Thanks for calling." he said as he glanced at Rachel who's making the kids of New Directions go over to the song again and again.
"Good luck to you and Rachel! I hope you guys win! Break a leg!"
"Thanks Kurt. Take care. Bye."
"Rachel!" Blaine called her down from the stage. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asked and she went down from the stage.
"What's up?"
"Look," he sighs "I notice that you kept on going over to this song again and again. They're already tired," he pointed the New Directions members "and we have 35 minutes left to use this theater. Come on, let's take a break for awhile." he took her hand to hold it. "Okay." she nodded. "But," she pointed her finger at him, "10 minutes only."
"Deal." he smirked at her. "Let's take a break everyone!" he shouted.
Their 10 minutes break has passed by, they did their performances over and over again, trying to get it perfectly and their time of use of the theater has come to an end. Everyone went home already. Blaine called Cooper to pick them up from the theater and Cooper drove them back to his house. The other members of the New Directions rode at the van of Cooper's friend. When they arrived at Cooper's house. The dinner table was already set, Cooper cooked some foods for them and everyone was excited to eat already as they were kind of hungry from too much rehearsals. Everyone happily ate their meals and after they ate, Mason and Madison (the twins, new members of New Directions) offered to clean the dishes while Jake and Ryder offer to clean the dining area in which Cooper gladly took their offers and he said his goodnight's to them as he said, "I'm gonna call it a night for me. Gotta be early tomorrow for work."
Meanwhile, Blaine and Rachel are walking outside the backyard and they took a seat at the swing, taking a moment to appreciate the night. They look up to the sky to see the stars shining bright.
"You know, I always have a thing for stars." Rachel said, "Of course, I knew that." Blaine chuckled and they fell into silence.
"There's something I need to tell you.." Blaine said and he looked directly at Rachel.
"What is it?" she looks back at him.
"I'm thinking about going back to college."
"Oh, that's wonderful Blaine!" she took his hand and he clasped her hand. "But where?" she asked.
"UCLA. I already filled my application form but I haven't send it yet." he replied. "You should send it! I'm sure you'll get in there." she smiled.
"But what about you?" he asked, "What about me?" she slightly laughed.
"Don't you want to go back to college?"
"I don't know. I mean, what about the glee club?"
"I'm sure they can find a competent replacement." he smiled, "Why don't you go with me in UCLA? Think about it, I convinced you to build the glee club back, look where we are now, Nationals!"
She looks at him and then she looks away, she stood up pacing in front him. "I just- I really don't know Blaine." she stopped and she looks at him again, "I don't have an application form and I think I'm already late to fill it and there's too many papers to fill."
"You're not late," he stood up and he grabs her hands. "I can help you with the papers. We don't have rehearsals tomorrow. We can start filling them now." he smiled.
"Now you have convinced me again Mr. Anderson." she smiled.
"Well, I do have some charms." he laughed, "Now let's go work on your papers." he said walking back inside the house, their hands intertwined.
