Blaine was able to come back to school just in time for Regionals.

Unfortunately Sebastian was once again up to his tricks. He entered the Lima Bean while Kurt and Blaine were grudgingly helping Rachel with wedding plans.

He started walking when Kurt stopped him. "I wouldn't walk any closer. You're already in violation of the restraining order."

"Well if I am, what's the point of not having fun?" Sebastian scowled.

He slammed an envelope down on the table. "I'm going to post this online, unless the New Directions pull out of Regionals.

Rachel took the envelope and opened it. It was a naked picture of Finn in heels. She looked at it shock.

He is not that small!" Rachel said in horror, pushing it back into the envelope so no one else would have to see it.

"That's very clearly photoshopped" Blaine commented.

"You realize this is considered child porn? Finn is still seventeen," Kurt asked seriously. "Do you want to add another crime to your wrap sheet?"

"Didn't the headmaster say that if you even got another speeding ticket, you were out of Dalton?" Blaine asked.

Sebastian glared at them and grabbed the photo. He stormed out of the Lima Bean.

"Anyway as I was saying I don't know if I want a veil."

The news of Karofsky's suicide attempt spread around McKinley fast. And Kurt couldn't help but feel responsible.

"He kept calling me and I ignored him," Kurt sobbed.

"You couldn't have known, Kurt," Blaine soothed holding Kurt as he cried.

"But if I just answered once." Kurt reasoned

"You didn't know and you were just trying to make it easier on him to get over you," Blaine said sadly. "Plus, if he did talk to you, what could you even do? People who attempt suicide don't tend to react well to reasoning. It might have just made it worse."

Kurt went to the hospital to see Karofsky. He didn't know if he helped him all that much, but it made him feel a little better seeing that Karofsky was still alive.

Santana and Brittany also went the Lima Bean to confront Sebastian. According to them, Karofsky's attempted had scared Sebastian and now he wanted to dedicate Regionals to him.

A few days later Mr. Shue made them all sit in a circle and talk about suicide. He wanted everyone to say one good thing about the future they were looking forward to.

When Mercedes told Mr. Shue that none of them would get close to wanting to take their lives both Kurt and Blaine piped up.

"I wanted to, sophomore year," Kurt said quietly. "I didn't think anyone would care. But luckily Miss Pillsbury noticed and told my dad. He said I had to find a club to join. So I signed up for Glee Club."

"I almost did right after I was gay bashed," Blaine told them."I was laying in the hospital and I planned it all out. I thought there was nothing to live for and that I'd never find love or be happy as a gay man."

The group was completely silent, staring at them.

Finally Sam spoke up, telling the group what he was looking forward to and everyone joined in.

Regionals came and went, overshadowed by all that happened.

They'd won and were going to Nationals. Rachel and Finn decided to get married citing that life was short.

Kurt and Blaine sat in with Rachel as they waited.

"I really don't think this is a good idea," Kurt commented "Why are your parents letting you do this?"

"Stop being jealous, Kurt," Rachel said offhandedly.

"You know what Rachel, I am," Kurt said frustrating. "Here you are getting married in high school, when Blaine and I could only do it in a few states. And this is not one of them."

"And most states won't even acknowledge it," Blaine added.

"You know I agree with Hummel," Santana said. "Why does man hands get to marry Frankenteen, if I can't legally marry?

The wedding was called off when they found out Quinn had gotten into a crash on the way to the wedding. It was broadcasted on the local news repeatedly.

Blaine had a panic attack when he saw it. Quinn had become a nice friend and they weren't reporting whether she was okay or not.

But Quinn was fine and she was allowed to return to school in a wheelchair.

Blaine and Kurt were lying in his living room watching Captain America for the 5th time. It seemed to comfort Blaine, so Kurt allowed it.

It was their first anniversary and Kurt wanted to make sure it was perfect.

"Okay, but why Steve? Bucky is pretty attractive too," Kurt asked, eating one of the chocolate strawberries that Blaine had bought for him.

"Because Steve stands up to bullies, win or lose," Blaine explained. "It's a very attractive quality."

They heard the front door open.

"Mama?" Blaine called out, confused. She was supposed to be in Cincinnati till nine.

No one answered. Blaine sat up to try to figure out what the noise was, and screamed when a pair of hands covered his eyes.

"Cooper?" Blaine asked when he recovered from the shock.

"You'd think you'd be happy to see your big brother," Cooper said in false offense, releasing Blaine's face.

Kurt turned around expecting to see someone who looked a lot like Blaine. He covered his mouth in shock.

"Wait a second, Blaine, you never said your brother was THE Cooper Anderson," Kurt fanboyed. "I love your commercial."

"Always nice to meet a fan," Cooper grinned. "But who might you be?"

"My name is Kurt. I'm Blaine's boyfriend," Kurt said, starstruck. "It's our anniversary."

"Oh, you're the boy that mom talks about. Do you really pick out all of his clothes?"

"No!" Blaine insisted, but Kurt nodded.

"So what are we watching?" Cooper asked, taking a spot on the loveseat. "Oh, Captain America! I auditioned for the role of Steve Rogers, but they said I was too attractive already."

Cooper showed up to McKinley the next day and was fawned over by Kurt and Sue Sylvester.

Blaine was angry. His Dom was fawning over his stupid, arrogant brother, and calling him the most handsomest man in North America. And Cooper was just eating it up.

"Kurt, we've got to go meet the Glee Club in the library," Blaine informed him. "Kurt?"

"Oh, well see you later," Kurt said breathlessly to his annoying brother.

Kurt took Blaine's hand and let him lead the way.

Blaine couldn't escape his irritating brother. Now he was a guest in Glee!

He was apparently going to do a master class on acting. Which was incredibly moronic because Cooper had very few acting credits. Blaine had done more performances since he started High School than Cooper did in the nine years he'd been in California.

Blaine couldn't help but roll his eyes when everyone cheered.

"Well it's clear the Anderson Brothers are quite talented," Rachel complimented. "You must have a song you sang around the piano."

Blaine huffed in annoyance. He did not want to sing with his brother

"Well, Blaine and I were famous around the neighborhood for our dueling Simon Lebon impressions."

"No. no no, Please don't make me do that," Blaine sighed. That was the mashup Cooper called his showstopper.

"Blaine you have to do it, you're both so handsome and good," Kurt said excitedly.

"Come on Blaine, let's do some Duran Duran."

"Okay, fine." Blaine walked to the front of the class to sing with his brother who would try to outdo him the entire time."You're on, Cooper."

"Oh, the cardigan is coming off!" Cooper teased.

Blaine spent most of the number trying to distract Kurt from stupid Cooper.

"I was really great in the number," Cooper complimented himself at the end of the song.

The Glee club burst into applause, but it was probably for Cooper.

Blaine made his way back to seat.

"That was perfect, Blaine. Your brother is so talented." Kurt gushed kissing Blaine's cheek.

Blaine grimaced "Yeah, my brother."

Cooper took Blaine out to lunch and was just as bothersome there. He insisted on talking in an accent for most of the meal. And he complimented himself while putting Blaine down.

"Why do you do that? You're always telling me what I'm doing wrong," Blaine said, frustrated. "You waste no time reminding me how much I suck at like everything. Even when I was little."

"If that happens, I'm sorry," Cooper said a little insincerely. "But little brother, I know there's an age difference between us, but I really want to be closer to you. I want to get to know you a little better. That's why I'm here."

Blaine nodded, "I would love that."

"Great, so you're going to come to my masters class tomorrow right?" Cooper urged.

"Yeah, sure," Blaine agreed.

Maybe this time Cooper would try.

Cooper's class was a joke, but at least everyone might not be practically in love with him anymore.

He insulted Theatre, Broadway, and New York. Kurt couldn't still love him. Right?

But Kurt was writing things down. Why was he doing that?

How was everyone buying this awful shit?

And Cooper was acting the same way as usual - insulting Blaine's acting ability and trying to make him do stupid things that made no sense.

"Hey squirt!" Cooper greeted him later that day. He put his arm around Blaine's shoulder.

"Don't call me that," Blaine said, pushing Cooper off him.

"Ask me why I'm so happy?" Cooper asked cheerfully.

Blaine said nothing.

"I just got an audition for a Michael Bay movie, Michael freaking Bay!" Cooper said excitedly. "And you know it has to be a Transformers movie."

Blaine continued to stay silent.

"You don't seem very happy for me," Cooper said, coming down from his overgrown self esteem.

"Oh, I'm thrilled," Blaine said sarcastically.

"You have a weird way of showing it, it wouldn't kill you to smile," Cooper said, cheerful again.

"C'mon, we'll have our own ditch day, you can help me run lines!" Cooper said as if he was a reward.

"It's all about you, isn't it, Coop? You know what, big brother? I'm sick of it. And I'm not going to take it anymore."

Blaine stormed away to box out some of his feelings.

"I think maybe your brother is giving bad advice," Kurt said as they lay in Blaine's bed that night.

"Yeah. I could've told you that when he got here," Blaine snapped.

"Did you really just yell at me, baby?" Kurt asked, unimpressed.

"Hmm, I think I did." Blaine said sarcastically. "But you probably didn't hear it because you're so far on the Cooper train you've hit delusional."

Kurt got up silently and closed and locked Blaine's bedroom door.

"I'm going to give you one chance to take that back and stop being a brat," Kurt warned.

"Oh, like you'd actually do it," Blaine responded, rolling his eyes.

"Get over here right now," Kurt commanded, sitting on the edge of Blaine's bed.

"No," Blaine said defiantly.

Kurt grabbed Blaine's leg and pulled him over to him.

"I told you to get over here," Kurt said. "Bratty subs get punished."

He picked Blaine up, put him over his knee and tugged down Blaine's pants.

"Count," Kurt demanded.

One.

Blaine was silent so Kurt spanked him again. "I told you to count, now we have to start over."

It took three more until Blaine followed directions.

One

Two

Kurt slapped Blaine's other cheek.

Three

Four

He found Blaine's sit spot.

Five

Six

Seven

Kurt continued until Blaine's ass was a pretty pinkish red and Blaine was crying, begging him that he'd be good.

"Now what do you have to say?" Kurt asked, letting Blaine off his lap.

Blaine stared up at his ceiling wiping away tears, "I'm sorry I snapped at you."

"What else?" Kurt looked at Blaine expectantly.

"I'm mad that you like my stupid brother more than me," Blaine finally said, tugging his pants back up.

"That's not true, Blaine," Kurt tried to claim, knowing that he had been a little starstruck by Cooper.

"You've been fawning over him since he got here," Blaine said insecurely. "You called him the handsomest man in North America."

"I'm sorry I got caught up in his celebrity," Kurt said honestly.

"You know he promised we could become brothers again, but he's still bringing up every mistake I make," Blaine complained, pacing.

"Isn't that how brothers are? Finn and I are at each other's throats sometimes. But we still appreciate and love each other," Kurt said.

"It's different, Kurt. He's been criticizing me since I could barely walk. And he thinks he's god's gift to the world," Blaine said, exasperated. "There's nothing that he can't do according to him. And very little I can."

"Are you sure you want to come to Six Flags with everyone?" Kurt asked sympathetically. "Get a little time away from him?

"No. He might drive me insane, but I haven't seen him in four years. Who knows how long it'll be after this visit?" Blaine said reluctantly.

Cooper was completely clueless. And his acting was terrible. It took all of Blaine's energy to spend the day with him. Especially when he pointed out Blaine's every flaw.

Luckily he had a buffer.

"Oh look at my two boys! Practicing together like the old days," Pam said, kissing both their cheeks. "You should perform one of the little songs you used to do for me!"

"I'm practicing for an audition right now, Mom," Cooper insisted.

"Oh c'mon Coop, just one song?" Pam asked.

"Yeah Coop, just one song for Mama," Blaine teased,

"You are such a baby, Blaine. Why do you still call her that?" Cooper insulted him.

"I think it's nice, Coop," Pam said.

"Fine, one song," Cooper agreed.

Later that day, Kurt went over to Blaine's house.

"Oh, Kurt. I didn't think we'd see you today," Pam smiled as she let him in. "Blaine's helping me make dinner. But we're almost done."

"I'm here to speak to Cooper actually," Kurt confessed.

"Trying to pick his brain for audition tips?" Pam suggested. "My boys are just so talented."

"Something like that," Kurt grinned.

"Well he's up in his room," she directed him.

Kurt headed upstairs and walked past Blaine's room. He knocked when he got to Cooper's.

"You finally learn to knock, squirt," Cooper commented as he opened the door. "Oh, Kurt. You're not Blainers."

"Yes, but that's exactly who I am here to talk about," Kurt said, walking in.

"I'm honoured, Kurt. But I'm not gay," Cooper said arrogantly.

"I may have been a bit… enamoured with you. But Cooper, I have no interest in whatever you think I meant," Kurt denied. "We are here to discuss how you treat your little brother."

Cooper took a seat on his bed. "What about Blainers?"

"According to Blaine, you treat him horribly," Kurt accused him. "And I can't let that continue."

"Listen, Kurt. Blaine and I can handle our relationship by ourselves."

"Apparently not. I know Blaine talked to you about how you treat him and you still treat him the same," Kurt crossed his arms across his chest. "You're going to start treating him like your equal, or I will sicc my brother on you. I've already convinced him he owes Blaine, and he's over 6 feet and plays Football."

"Hey, violence doesn't solve anything," Cooper brought his hands up in defense. "I'll try to be mindful of what I say to Blaine."

"And you're going to reschedule your flight so Blaine can show you how he feels, the way you treat him, tomorrow."

"I've got an audition!" Cooper protested.

"We both know you weren't going to get it," Kurt said seriously.

"I could've!" Cooper accused.

"I'm sure, you think that," Kurt admitted. "But you're way too theatrical."

The next day Blaine jumped as a voice came from the other side of his locker.

"Hello, I'm Margaret Thatcher dog. My relationship with the queen was ruff!" Kurt imitated, coming out from behind the locker. "Look what Finn won you at skeeball."

"Finn won it?" Blaine asked, impressed.

"Yeah, well Rachel kept making Finn win stuff animals for her, so at the day out of 14, I rescued this guy to give to you," Kurt explained. "Since there was no convincing you to come."

"I would've just brought you down," Blaine groaned.

"I get it, family's tough. But you only get one brother, Blaine. Don't give up on that," Kurt said sincerely.

"He's the one leaving," Blaine complained. "Some big audition."

"Well he hasn't left yet," Kurt explained. "He's in the auditorium, wanting to talk to you."

"I tried talking to him, it doesn't really work with him," Blaine sighed in defeat.

"Maybe talking isn't the answer. Maybe you need to show him how you feel in the best way possible," Kurt hinted.

Blaine nodded and went to the auditorium. He angrily sang Somebody that I used to know. Cooper joined in and so Blaine let more of his emotions fly into the song.

"Best you ever sounded," Cooper complimented at the end of the song.

"Never thought I'd hear that," Blaine admitted, shocked.

"I am tough on you. This week maybe a little too much. And I need to apologize for that," Cooper explained. "But it's only because I see, have always seen, how unbelievably talented you are. And I want you to be as successful as you can be."

"Thank you for saying that Coop. And I know you meant because you weren't speaking loudly to be intense and pointing your finger everywhere," Blaine said, relieved that his brother as actually being nice for once.

"You're gonna do it all, Blaine. Movies, concerts, even Broadway," Cooper smiled.

"Even though it's dead?" Blaine joked.

"You'll revive it. And when you do, I'll be in the audience telling people that's my kid brother up there," Cooper continued. "And I want us to be buddies again. Like when Mom would leave us to do a shoot and we'd go to the local parks and play together."

"That's exactly what I've always wanted us to be, Coop."

Blaine hugged Cooper tight.

"I can stay a few more days in you want. Really get to know this adult you," Cooper offered.

"I thought you had an audition?" Blaine asked, confused.

"It was canceled. I guess they found someone better or hotter for the part," Cooper explained.

"Well, screw that then," Blaine said. "We're going to get you on tape so Michael Bay can see what real acting is."

"So I guess if I'm going to know, Blaine. I have to know you too," Cooper said as they sat in the Anderson living room.

"What would you like to know?" Kurt asked as Blaine came back with drinks. "Oh, thank you, baby."

Blaine took his spot next to Kurt.

"Well how did you two meet?"

"He tried to spy on the Warblers. It was ridiculously cute."

"Blaine says that now, but it took him five months to finally ask me out," Kurt teased.

"Well, that's Blaine. Always dragging his feet, wanting it to be perfect," Cooper grinned. "Even when he was two he cried when I'd do his hair wrong."

"I was two, Coop!" Blaine rolled his eyes. "And you weren't gentle about it."

"That's adorable," Kurt smiled.

"Oh, have you seen his baby pictures?" Cooper asked excited.

"No, I haven't" Kurt grinned. "But I'd like to."

"No one needs to look at my baby pictures," Blaine objected.

"We're showing Kurt Blaine's baby pictures?" Pam hurried in. She pulled an album off the top shelf.

Pam took a seat on Kurt's other side and opened it up.

"This is Blaine's first experience with a beach," she pointed out a picture of a baby crying with sand in his hair. "Cooper had just learned that sand clumps when wet unfortunately."

"Aww, you're so cute, Blaine," Kurt cooed at the picture.

She pointed to another one where you could see one eye, a nose, and an open mouth with very few teeth. "Blaine's first selfie, as they call it now."

"Oh, you're father was so mad when you did this," she pointed out a photo of crayon on the wall. "That's when I knew he'd be my little artist."

Pam went through many pages, each more entertaining as the others. Blaine's face was red from embarrassment.

A/N: Gotta love Cooper, especially after Big Brother. I imagine in canon Kurt had a little talk with him. How else would Cooper know to be in the auditorium to get sang at? I love Blaine more of course, and I love Kurt almost as much as Blaine does.
