Cooper is practically shaking with excitement as he drives home from the airport a few days before Christmas. At the beginning of Blaine's school year, he had gotten a call to do some commercials in California, so he reluctantly packed up his bags and moved out there. Though he loves it in California and is finally pursuing his dream, he misses his brother dearly. They share phone calls almost every night and text all the time, but it isn't the same as kissing or touching and he is anxious to see him again. It has only been a couple of months since he was home last, but it feels like forever.

Cooper isn't quite sure what it is that he and his brother have. He doesn't know if there's a label he can put on it, but he doesn't mind too much, because it's better than he could have imagined a year ago, and he decides that they don't need a title if they both feel the same way about eachother. That, and he really doesn't want to force Blaine into anything too serious. He is his little brother, afterall.

When he pulls into the driveway, he almost wants to scream with excitement because their parents are gone and he hopes that the two of them have some time alone before they get home. He grabs his duffel bag from his rental car, slams the door, and practically runs up the steps to the house. He unlocks the door and pushes it open to find a quiet and almost empty house. He can hear music coming from Blaine's room and smiles to himself when he hears him singing along.

He stands in the doorway for a moment, enjoying hearing his brother's voice, before shutting the door and taking a deep breath. He sets his bag down at the bottom of the stairs and makes his way up quickly and quietly, careful not to disturb Blaine. When he reaches the doorway, he finds his younger brother clad in some loose sweat pants that are cuffed at the bottom and a dark blue hoodie, dancing around his room and singing to himself. Blaine has always had a good voice, and Cooper has missed hearing it since he's been gone, so he leans against the doorframe and listens quietly.

It isn't until Blaine does this spin (that he always does, Cooper has noticed) that he sees the figure in his doorway. He jumps slightly, surprised, but the second he realizes who it is, he leaps across the room and into his arms, "Cooper!"

Cooper hugs his brother back tight and wonders how he's managed to live for almost four months without having him just down the hallway. "Hey," Cooper finally breaths out.

"I thought you weren't coming home for another couple days!" Blaine exclaims, pulling away so he can see his face.

Cooper smiles, "Well I wasn't supposed to, but I got done on set early and I didn't want to wait to see you."

At that, Blaine's face twists up into a huge grin and he throws his arms around Coopers neck, only not to hug him this time. He stands on his toes and places a quick kiss on his lips before nuzzling into his neck, "I've missed you so much."

Cooper strokes his hair as they stand there like that, "I've missed you too."

At that, Blaine leans up again and they kiss for a second time. This time it's more heated, more passionate, and Blaine almost immediately whimpers into the kiss. Cooper chuckles against his lips, "You really have missed me, haven't you?"

Blaine nods against him as they kiss, and manages to speak in-between pecks, "You have no idea."

"Oh, I think I do," Cooper retorts as his hands find their way to Blaine's backside and pull their bodies closer. They kiss again, their tongues meeting through their opened mouths and Blaine whines into his mouth again, pressing his hips into his brother's.

It doesn't take long before the two of them are crossing the room and Cooper is tossing Blaine onto his bed. It doesn't take long before their shirts are both thrown across the room and Blaine's pants are at his ankles, either. Cooper takes a deep breath before sliding the younger boy's boxers down as well, leaving him completely naked in front of him.

"Jesus Christ," Cooper breathes out, taking in the sight in front of him.

"What?" Blaine asks and sits up, suddenly nervous, and it reminds Cooper that even though they've been fooling around for almost six months now, Blaine is still young, anxious and inexperienced. They haven't had sex at all and haven't even talked about it, but Cooper is okay with it because the last thing he wants to do is push Blaine into doing something he doesn't want to.

"Just… you," Cooper finally manages to get out, causing a wide smile to spread over Blaine's flushed cheeks before he lays back down. The sight makes his stomach flip flop and he's not surprised that Blaine still manages to give him butterflies. The fact that the smile on his face was because of him – because of something he said – makes a smile spread across his own face too.

Cooper finally lowers his head and litters kisses around Blaine's thighs before taking his head into his mouth, earning a gasp from him. Blaine's fingers automatically thread through his hair and normally he would be pissed about it getting messed up, but with Blaine he can't seem to bring himself to care. He sucks gently, teasingly, causing Blaine to squirm a bit on the bed before he takes more of him into his mouth. The younger Anderson lets out a breathy moan, and it shoots a tremor through Cooper's body knowing that he's the one that Blaine is making those noises for.

Cooper hums causing Blaine to buck up into his mouth and grip his hair slightly harder. "Oh fuck, Cooper." He decides to speed up the process a bit because he has no idea when their parents are going to be home and his fingers somehow find Blaine's entrance and circle around it teasingly. They've done this before and Blaine usually stops him, but this time he thrusts back slightly against his fingers and moans at the sensation.

Cooper hears the front door opening and their mother calling their names from downstairs as she sets down what sounds like grocery bags on the counter. With that, he hums again, pressing into Blaine and then he's coming down his throat with a strangled moan. Cooper sits up immediately and wipes his mouth before smiling down at Blaine, "We better get you dressed."

Blaine groans, "Ugh, I don't wanna…"

He knows that Blaine usually likes to cuddle or at least lay down afterward and he feels bad, but the last thing he wants is their parents to catch them, "I know… I'm sorry."

"It's okay," He says, shaking his head and sitting up. Blaine then turns his attention to his crotch, "What about you?"

Cooper just smirks, "You'll just have to make up for it later."

The two boys share an awkward family dinner with their parents that night. Their father still doesn't really accept Blaine for who he is and he probably never will but he's gotten better, thank god. That, and the glances the two brothers share across the table make the dinner bearable. After dinner, their father retreats into his room like usual, and their mom sits at the kitchen table reading a book. Cooper grabs Blaine's hand as they finish doing their dishes and leads him into the living room despite Blaine's groans and complaining that he wants to go upstairs.

"Is it illegal to want to relax and watch a movie with you?" Cooper asks, sitting down and patting the spot on the couch next to him.

Blaine laughs and sits next to his brother who glances around quickly before draping his arm around his shoulders. "What about mom?" Blaine asks, looking worriedly toward the kitchen.

Cooper just shrugs, "She's not gonna come in here. We're fine." It falls quiet between the two boys as they start watching some action movie and Blaine finally relaxes and leans into Cooper, letting out a deep breath. At that, Cooper lets his gaze drop from the movie to his little brother and he smiles, glad that he had the chance to come home for the week. He has missed these moments.

"How's school?" Cooper asks suddenly, breaking the silence between them.

"Good," Blaine says, but doesn't sound too sure about it. "Well, I mean… It's okay," He explains, "I uh… My friends know now. That I'm gay. Some of them didn't really take it so well."

Cooper immediately feels this sense of anger wash over him at the admission and he has to take a moment before replying because he doesn't want Blaine to see him lose his cool. "Are they picking on you?" He finally gets out through gritted teeth.

"Yeah, but it's nothing bad," Blaine says quickly, "They're still my friends."

Cooper shakes his head, "They're not your friends if they can't accept you." At that, Blaine is just quiet and Cooper takes a moment to calm himself before returning to the lighthearted older brother that he usually is. "Do you need me to come teach them a lesson?"

Blaine laughs, "No, I think I've got it under control." He seems to plan out his next words carefully in his head before speaking again, "Besides, I have this one friend who's really supportive. He hasn't come out to his family yet, but he understands me, you know? I… I kinda like him."

For a moment, Cooper thinks he's hearing things but after he sees the unsure look on Blaine face, he realizes that his brother definitely just told him about someone he has feelings for. Cooper's heart immediately sinks and he tries to push down a lot of emotions that he wasn't even aware that he had. The prominent one is jealousy. They have been together (for lack of a better word) for almost six months, and Cooper has never once heard Blaine mention anyone else.

The thought of his brother with someone else is something that he hasn't thought about in a long time – since before their first kiss – and the idea of it terrifies Cooper. He feels selfish for thinking it, but he doesn't want to imagine Blaine with anyone else, and he knows it was ignorant to think it, but he had been hoping that he wouldn't have to.

He finally realizes that Blaine is just looking at him expectantly and he clears his throat. "Oh," is all he manages to get out before it goes quiet between the two of them for a moment.

"Shit…" Blaine mutters, "I didn't… I mean… He's just a friend, Coop, I swear. I just… We've never really talked about what you and I are and I didn't know if it made you uncomfortable, and…"

Cooper cuts him off by raising his hand, "It's fine, Blaine. I figured we were going to have to talk about this eventually… Just, can you give me a couple of days until we do?" The fact of the matter is, Cooper wants to avoid the subject as much as humanly possible. He doesn't want Blaine to know that it scares him, because he's his little brother and as long as Blaine is happy, he's happy.

Blaine is still looking at him, concerned, but he nods, "Alright. I just… I didn't want to upset you."

"You didn't," Cooper lies, "It's okay. It was just a surprise."

Blaine nods again, then glances around the room before smiling at him and quietly asking, "Can I kiss you?"

Cooper's heart flutters at it, because even though Blaine probably knows that he's upset, he wants to make it better. He cares. Cooper nods, not bothering to look back toward the kitchen, and then Blaine is leaning in and pressing their lips together.
