Big Brother One Shot: My Big Brother

Friday 13th of July 9:29pm

Blaine's brother was stood on the other side of that door, the brother he hadn't seen since he was fifteen years old. The brother who always had to be better then him, always told him he was doing everything wrong, the same brother he disliked, hell hated, for so many reasons.

He let out a sigh of frustration as he tried to reason with himself, the quicker I open the door, the quicker the evening will go and the sooner he will be out of my apartment and out of my life. "Right, I can do this" he said to himself, his shaky tone telling him otherwise.

Blaine straightened himself up, took another deep breath and opened the door. His older brother was stood wearing a pair of black skinnies and a black v-neck shirt, a leather jacket hanging open making him look like a complete twat.

"Squirt!" Cooper said, he's voice sounding too excited, it was unsettling "It's been too long" he said pulling him into a hug. Blaine just stood there, refusing to hug him back, suddenly he was flashing back to Kurt's first few days here and he had a whole knew understanding of what that poor boy went through.

Cooper pulled back eventually, choosing not to take any notice of the fact he hadn't hugged him back and instead invited himself into his house, a bit similar to Carson's behaviour with Kurt, he thought comparing the two situations. "Wow, is this where you're living?" Cooper asked, his tone leaking with disgust and distaste.

Blaine looked towards the hallway and wished he could just run, get away from here but he couldn't leave Carson to deal with his own brother, he'd have to deal with him eventually. This is going to be a long evening he thought with a sigh, shutting the door with a sarcastic "Cooper, come on in."

As he shut the door Carson came out of the kitchen, an already forced smile on his face as he watched Cooper snoop around their apartment. Cooper was currently looking at one of their magazines on his shelf while Blaine tried to get Carson's attention, telling him to run while he still could.

"I'm not leaving you" Carson mouthed from where he was stood by the kitchen, "you hate this guy so just shut up and introduce us" he mouthed as he walked closer to where he was still stood by their front door.

Cooper turned around before he had the chance to say anything, "oh, who's this?" Cooper asked, chucking the magazine on the table and heading towards them. No respect for other people's property he thought with an annoyed shake of his head. "Is this your new boyfriend?" he asked in a tone of disapproval.

Without giving him the chance to answer he was already talking again, "What happened to Sebastian? I thought you two were forever" he said, stopping in front of Carson. Blaine rolled his eyes, this was what happens when someones stays out of someones life for so long, they come back thinking they know everything when in fact they know absolutely nothing.

With a strained smile he turned to his brother, putting an arm on Carson's back "Cooper this is my roommate and best friend Carson" he said turning to him and smiling "he's also my co-manger and co-creator of Pen&Paper."

Cooper seemed to stare at Carson again, sizing him up most probably "oh that's good, this guys too old for you anyway. So where's Sebastian then if you're not dating this idiot?" he asked before turning around and heading towards the front room.

With his back turned he turned towards his best friend who was clenching his fist as he glared at Cooper. Blaine was mouthing his apologies, "C I am so sorry, I told you he's a monster!" he said his tone pleading hoping Carson wouldn't change his mind and leave them alone.

Carson seemed to just glare at Cooper, his eyes narrowing in frustration "I'm not too old for you at all" he said sounding seriously upset by the comment before he walked back towards the kitchen, muttering something about checking on the food and al.

Blaine rolled his eyes in annoyance, his brother's been in his home for not even ten minutes and he's already managed to offed his best friend, this was going to be an exceptionally long evening.

"Co-managers huh?" Cooper asked from where he was now staring at the pictures on the walls, staring was probably the wrong word he thought sarcastically, judging more like "Pen&Paper, what's that?" he asked and he his jaw dropped in disbelief, he couldn't believe he didn't even know the name of his younger brother's magazine.

He nodded although he knew his brother couldn't see him "yeah, Carson and I met years ago at college. I had one dream, he had another and eight years later we now run and own a very successful magazine together" he said proudly, so glad of all they have accomplished. "Pen&Paper" he then said answering his brother's second question when he still seemed clueless, "that's the name of our magazine."

Cooper turned to him, his features full of distaste and disapproval "and you're proud of that!? Man Blaine, what happened to you?" He said shaking his head and Blaine's jaw dropped, confusion and frustration crossing his features.

"What happened to your dreams of being a singer? A recording artist who wrote for the joy of the music, not for the money he made?" Blaine was a little taken aback at the fact his brother still remembered that conversation, but he didn't have much time to care when the next sentence out of his house made him hate him all over again. "I achieved my dreams by the time I was your age, how come you haven't achieved yours?" he said shaking his head in disappointment.

If Blaine was honest he was left a little speechless, who was his brother to come into his home and tell him he was a disappointment for not achieving his dreams like he had, which he hadn't by the way. He felt like telling Cooper he was wrong and a hypocrite but that would ruin his plan of making it through this evening without any arguing.

Still he was stood there, eyes wide and jaw slack as he tried to find the words to say in return. However through all of his hurt and anger he couldn't really think of anything that could match or beat what his brother had just said to him.

"Dinner's ready" Carson called from the kitchen and he was ever so grateful of the interruption. Cooper's waiting face now turning towards the kitchen, his nose wrinkling in some form of emotion he really didn't care to know about. "If you take your seats I'll bring it on out" Carson called again and he forced a smile in the direction of his brother.

Both he and Cooper did as Carson said. Cooper being the asshole that he was chose to take the head of the table seat, not that they did that here but still, which was where he normally sat. Blaine took a deep breath before sitting in the seat that now belonged to Kurt, deciding it wouldn't help to confront him about it.

"What's your maid cooking us for dinner?" Cooper asked with a smile, obviously thinking he was funny.

Blaine looked at him, openly judging his brother, how had he gotten anywhere in this world with an attitude and sense of humour like that? "Carson isn't my maid, he's my best friend and the three of us are having gammon and chips with egg fried rice" he said as he picked up his glass of water, not evening trying to hide the anger in his tone.

He saw Cooper looking at him in frustration and he could see Carson shaking his head in annoyance through the fish tank where he was stood dishing up their food. "Wait," Cooper said looking confused, "Sebastian's not eating dinner with us?" He asked looking at him in waiting.

Blaine took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he pinched the bridge of his nose, what was with Cooper's obsession over my ex boyfriend? "Sebastian is currently on a date" he said through gritted teeth as Carson started heading towards the table, three plates in hand.

Cooper looked at him as if he'd suddenly grown a second head "he what!? Why the hell is he on a date when he's with you?" Cooper asked his tone leaking with confusion. Carson put Cooper's plate in front of him, making faces behind his back before giving him his and taking his own seat. Could he really be that stupid?

"Cooper, Sebastian and I aren't together anymore" he said casually as he reached for the soy sauce. Adding mentally which you would know if you'd shown any interest in my life during the past eight years you asshole.

He saw Cooper look between him and Carson before he settled for staring at him, "since when did this happen? What did you do to him?" he asked slamming down his hand on their table in his sudden, unexplainable frustration.

Glancing towards Carson he could tell he'd already had enough, his cheeks were flushed red with anger and his eyes were narrowed as he glared at his food, applying too much pressure which caused his cutlery to screech as he cut through his gammon.

Blaine sighed already feeling shattered "we came to a mutual decision to break up a few weeks after I moved to New York, the long distance thing not working for us" he paused sipping at his drink. "That was six years ago so I think, I think that it's okay for him to start seeing other people" he said sarcastically rolling his eyes.

He picked up his knife and fork, ignoring the confusion on his brothers face and joined Carson in eating the meal that looked absolutely delicious. "Blaine there is no such thing as a mutual break up, they don't exist. The person who initiates the conversation is the one who initiated the break up, was it you?" he asked accusingly picking up his cutlery.

Blaine tensed at that question, he had initiated the conversation but it wasn't because he wanted to break up with him,. It was because neither of them were happy and he wanted the love of his life, at the time, to be happy. He did what he thought would be best, not what he wanted.

He glanced up to Carson who was staring at him apologetically even though he had nothing to apologise for. He stared at him sadly before he resumed eating his dinner, choosing to ignore the question.

After a minute or two Cooper spoke up, his tone harsh and accusing "your silence speaks volumes. How could you do that to him Blaine, that boy was head over heels for you?" He said glaring at him before turning to Carson, "this rice is superb by the way" he said with a soft smile before returning his accusing gaze to him.

Carson glared at Cooper "thanks, I am so glad you approve" he said in a sarcastic tone that Blaine knew Cooper would choose to ignore. He saw Carson glaring at Cooper and he just wished that this evening would be over already. "So, what do you do for a living Cooper?" Carson asked trying to change the subject.

"Who me?" Cooper asked in surprise, a huge smile on his face at the attention he wanted everyday of his god damn life. Blaine wished Carson hadn't given him the satisfaction but appreciated the change of subject.

Blaine turned to him and had to smile at his feigned surprise before he glanced at Carson who was openly judging his brother. Annoyance and hatred written plainly across his face. "Well, I don't see anyone else here called Cooper, do you?" he asked sarcastically.

He watched as Cooper feigned embarrassment at the sudden attention and he had to roll his eyes at the idiot sat in his seat. "Well, I am currently teaching others to act at the actors guild here in New York" he said with a smile that appeared genuine. "Fulfilling my dream of helping others accomplish theirs" he said with a proud nod.

At his words Blaine turned to glare at him, wishing he could kick the lying son of a bitch out of his house right now. His dream was never to teach, it was to act, saying it was to teach, he was just lying to himself. "Unlike others I know," he added on a moment later, the comment aimed directly at him.

Anger washed through him as he'd suddenly had enough of all of his brother's shit. "Cooper" he said putting down his cutlery "you have no rig-" he never had the chance to finish what he was about to say when Carson, jumped in, stopping him from saying something he'd regret.

"How about we eat the delicious food I made before it gets cold, hey boys?" Carson said in a forced polite tone, his eyes the only thing remaining cold as he glanced between the two of them. They both nodded as they dropped their gazes to their plates.

Carson sighed, relishing in the moment of silence as he ate his food. He took a deep breath as he tried to recompose himself, he couldn't believe Blaine's brother. The two of them were nothing a like, Blaine was loving and caring whereas Cooper, well Cooper was a complete and utter dick.

Some of the things he'd said to Blaine already this evening were so out of line he couldn't believe it. How dare he tell Blaine that he hasn't achieved anything in his life, especially when it was all a bunch of crap. Blaine had achievements, and better achievements then Cooper he assumed.

They were the two youngest people to own a Magazine in all of America, that is one hell of an achievement he thought angrily glaring at Cooper as he ate his food. He couldn't believe that anybody would do that, put their younger brother down in such a way, especially after not speaking to him for over eight years, it was insane.

Nobody could be so rude, nobody, so trying to see the best in Cooper he assumed that maybe he was jealous of his younger brother. The fact that he had achieved so much compared to the nothing he'd achieved. Of course he didn't no for sure, but he could make his own assumptions of the asshole that was currently sat in his house.

His peace was interrupted a moment later when Blaine's older brother decided to start integrating him again. "So Blaine, if you made a stupid decision and dumped Sebastian, who are you with now?" he asked before shoving a piece of gammon into his mouth, his gaze remaining on his little brother.

He rolled his eyes and sighed his annoyance wishing there was anything he could do to stop this, Blaine didn't deserve this shit. Unfortunatley he'd promised Blaine that he wouldn't do or say anything to protect him, he'd promised.

He watched as Blaine swallowed heavily before answering "I'm not seeing anyone actually" he said and winced, obviously knowing that Cooper was about to say something nasty.

"Wow," Cooper breathed "single, not following your dreams, stuck in some dead end job with nothing to show for your life, now that's sad little brother." Cooper said it so sincerely, as if he didn't know the words would hurt, he said it like it was normal. As if it was something he said every damn day of his life, how dare he?

It took everything in him to not just stand up and punch this man in the face, and he wasn't one for violence so that was saying something. He watched Blaine as he tried to recover from the blow, his eyes sadder the before, when Blaine looked at him he smiled sadly, mouthing 'you know it's not true.'

Blaine swallowed again looking at his brother out of the corner of his eye, "I know" he said in agreement and then he suddenly wanted to punch Blaine in the face. What was wrong with him? Why would he just sit there and take all this shit from a, he hated to say it, but a monster? Blaine didn't deserve any of this.

The rest of the evening continued to drag as Cooper continued to insult Blaine, Blaine continued to take it and Carson struggled to keep his thoughts to himself. To say it had been an exceptionally long evening would be an understatement.

After further insults about him not being able to sing or play the guitar, comments about him refusing NYADA and being the stupidest person alive. There were many, many more insults but there's too many to mention, then Cooper left.

Complaining he had a headache from being around his brothers 'depressing mediocrity' for so long. Blaine was stood by the door, hand on the handle as he looked forward to the moment his brother was out the door and out of his life, hopefully for good this time.

This was how this situation of his was different to the one between Kurt and Carson, they wanted their relationship back. He didn't want their relationship back, instead he wanted Cooper out of his life for good, he wanted him gone.

Cooper had just finished saying goodbye to Carson who was loosing his patience when he shoved a folded piece of paper in his hand as he stood by the door. When he looked to his older brother in confusion he went on to explain "it's a letter from Mother and Father, they want to see you."

At his words his entire body went rigid for the third time that evening, his breathing getting heavy as his whole body started to shake due to his anger. "Well you tell them I don't want to see them" he said ripping up the letter and handing it back to him.

His parent's had ruined his confidence, his life, they had ruined everything because they hated him for who he was, a decision that had never been his. He didn't want them back in his life, he wanted nothing to do with his family ever again. He was so much better off without them, he had a new family now.

"Blaine" Cooper started, his voice the softest and most honest he'd heard all evening, it reminded him of when they were kids. The first time he'd ever told anyone his biggest secret, the fact that he was gay. Cooper had said his name in the exact same tone before hugging him and telling everything would be okay, but he'd lied.

If he were ever to take his brother back, which he wouldn't, he'd want that one and not this self-obsessed asshole. Especially when had sided with his parents decision in sending him off and kicking him out at the age of seventeen because of something that was never his choice. That version of his brother was just a distant memory now, that version of his brother no longer existed.

"Cooper don't" he said firmly. "I don't want them in my life and if you give them this address I swear to god" he stopped mid sentence unsure of where his threat was going, with tears in his eyes he wouldn't have been all that intimidating anyway.

He saw Cooper glance to where Carson was stood leaning against the back of the sofa, his head down as he tried to make himself invisible from the conversation as well as being there for him in the only way he could be.

Cooper put his arm on his shoulder but he flinched away from the contact, his brother sighed "I won't say anything to them Blaine but just think about it?" he asked putting another piece of folded paper on the table by the door.

When Blaine looked to him in confusion Cooper just shrugged, "I knew you'd rip the first one up, it was just a blank piece of paper."

Blaine looked to his brother in frustration, he didn't want anything from his Mother, Father, least of all his brother, he didn't want anything from any of them. He opened the door with some force, "get out of here Cooper" he said as he suddenly lost his patience. He couldn't hold himself together and he wasn't going to give his brother the satisfaction of seeing him fall apart.

Cooper glanced down at the floor and he saw something change in his brothers expression, he glanced to him with a smile and laugh, both seeming a little forced. "Hey, maybe the next time we see each other you won't be some pathetic loser hey? Later Squirt" and with that his brother was gone.

He started breathing in and out slowly, his eyes falling shut as he tried to calm himself down, slamming the door shut behind his brother as he tried telling himself there was no point getting upset or angry over an asshole.

Blaine felt Carson before he said anything as he stood in front of him, waiting for him to be ready. When Blaine thought he was composed enough he opened his eyes and looked to his best friend with a sad smile.

"You were right, monster is an understatement to describe that asshole" Carson said with a smile that made him laugh. Carson smiled in response, pulling him into a hug and murmuring a 'love you Blaine' into his hair.

Blaine smiled into Carson's chest, the tears freely falling now. "I love you too" he whispered brokenly wishing his brother was as caring as his best friend was. He closed his eyes and held onto Carson with all the strength he had, that is why I hate my brother being his last thought before he lost control, his tears spilling over and probably ruining Carson's shirt.

Carson held him tight, whispering reassurances into his hair until he'd cried until he couldn't cry any more. Pulling back he knew he must've looked a state, his eyes red and puffy, his cheeks tear stained, but he didn't care because suddenly he felt so much better.

The two smiled at each other until Blaine yawned, the long day finally getting to him. "Off you go to bed" Carson said with a smile and a parental edge to his tone as he pushed him in the direction of his room, "we can tidy up in the morning."

"Okay" he said through a yawn, "thanks for tonight C. See you in the morning" he said smiling at his best friend before walking into his room and closing the door behind him.

Half an hour later, after a very hot and calming shower he climbed under his sheets, relishing the feel of them against his skin as it signalled the end to a very long day.

Hmm.. what are your thoughts? (I hate my Cooper, he really is an asshole)

Hope you guys liked it :)
