A/N: Warning for those of you like Lizzie, I cried while writing this. So be prepared. This chapter isn't the end. But it is near.
Cooper's heart was racing. He had no idea what was wrong with his brother. But he knew it had to be pretty damn bad for Blaine not to tell him on the phone. He grabbed his keys and headed to the car, speeding the whole way to Dalton. He pulled up and saw Blaine pacing in front of the school. He watched as his brother got in the car and could see the tears threatening to spill over.
"Blaine..What happened?"
Blaine shook his head. "S-Someone knows..."
"What?" Cooper asked, his eyes going wide.
"Someone saw us at dinner last night..Wes wouldn't say who.."
Cooper shook his head, not believing any of this. "Wait. Wes knows?"
"Remember when you kissed me after I sang with…Sebastian? Well..He walked in. But he hasn't told anyone. I-I swear." Blaine swallowed hard as the burning behind his eyes increased. "B-But Wes said…whoever it was that saw..is talking to the h-headmaster right now.."
"We didn't do anything at the restaurant, Blaine..I don't understand.."
Blaine shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe he misunderstood something…H-he thinks that you're…you're making me do things or something.."
The older boy felt like he was going to explode from his anger. He knew very well what he and Blaine were doing was erroneous. But he would never make his brother do anything. He loved him more than anything. Cooper turned the car around and raced home.
"C-Coop..? What's going to happen..?" Blaine asked, his voice shaking.
Cooper shook his head. "I don't know. But we'll be okay. I promise. I won't let anything happen to you."
"What about you? Cooper..I can't..I can't lose you.." Blaine whispered, his voice breaking as the tears fell.
"Listen to me, Blaine. We're going to go home and make sure everything looks like a normal home. Just like we would if mom and dad were coming home. I'll get the few condoms we've used and get rid of them. I will take care of everything. I promise." Cooper said seriously, trying to convince himself as well as Blaine.
Blaine pulled a tissue out of his pocket and blew his nose. He looked up at his brother with scared and innocent eyes. It reminded him of Blaine as a child. "I love you, Cooper.."
Cooper had to take a deep breath to control himself. He couldn't break in front of Blaine. He had to be strong. "I love you too, Blaine. More than anything."
They got home and Cooper led Blaine upstairs and drew him a bath with his favorite citrus bubble bath. He kissed his brother's forehead and told him to relax. The older ran around the entire house gathering anything that could somehow be connected to their relationship and cleaned their rooms. Luckily, the housekeepers did the rest.
Blaine got out of the tub and dried off before walking to his room and seeing that Cooper had laid out a pair of sweat pants and a shirt. He got dressed and found his brother in his own room.
"Coop? Can I come in?"
Cooper looked up. "Of course," he said softly.
Blaine climbed into his brother's bed and rested his head on Cooper's chest, listening to his heartbeat. "A-Are we going to have to..b-break up?.."
Cooper sighed. "No. But things will change for a while."
"What do you mean..?"
"We have to sleep in our own beds. Nothing physical. Of course if you need a hug or something, that's fine. No cuddling or anything." He explained as he stared at the ceiling.
"But no one can see us at home…" Blaine said quietly. He couldn't lose this.
"Blaine, we have to look like we're just siblings. No one else can suspect anything. One person suspecting is enough. And now they're getting adults involved. I need you to do something, Blaine."
"Anything for you.."
"Tomorrow, you will probably be called in to talk to the headmaster. Be strong." Cooper closed his eyes, trying to remember everything from the night before. "Tell them what I'm about to tell you. We went to dinner. The waiter seemed like he was flirting with you. And I'm your older brother. I've pretty much raised you. So naturally, I am protective over you. We had a nice dinner and went home. You did your homework and we watched RENT before going to bed."
"B-But I'm not good with lies.." Blaine said seriously. "What if he knows I'm lying?"
Cooper thought for a moment. "Technically, you're not lying. You're not telling the entire truth. But he'll be asking if you are being abused. Am I abusing you?"
"No. You wouldn't do that," Blaine said softly.
"Exactly. So see? It isn't a lie. And if you do have to lie, remember the lie so you can tell me. Just try your best baby. If you can do this, we might be able to get this to go away.."
Blaine nodded. "I will. I won't lose you.."
"You'll never lose me. No matter what happens, I will always be with you," Cooper said, not knowing if that was true. They laid there for a while, Cooper calming Blaine as much as he could before the younger fell asleep. He carefully got up and carried his brother to his room and tucked him into bed. He kissed Blaine's forehead before whispering, "I love you." Cooper looked down at Blaine, seeing how peaceful he looked. He wished he could keep his brother like this. He didn't deserve this pain. Part of Cooper was so pissed at himself for causing this. He should've said no to Blaine. He shouldn't have let this happen. But he knew, if he could back in time, he still wouldn't be able to say no that that angelic face. He loved his brother more than he could have ever imagined. What would he do if he lost him?
A/N: As I said in the beginning of this chapter, the end is coming. Not sure how many more chapters there will be. But it will be a few. It's killing me to write it because I want them to be happy so bad. But I also know it is inevitable that they will get caught at some point. Still not exactly how it will end. But we will see as it goes on. Thoughts on this chapter? Review please
