AN: I apologize in advance for any strangeness in this chapter. I'm trying to get back in the flow of things after so long with no Glee and I'm sick and was sick while watching the episode so my brain was fuzzy the whole time viewing and still is fuzzy now. But I said I'd be a Klainer in sickness and in health, so…
First off, loved the episode. Sue was right about them needing to step it up, seriously. If you want to be on Broadway you need yo be serious in dance rehearsal! Cooper was a douche, but he still cracked me up because just… just no… that's not how you act just… just no (DRAMATICALLY POINTS FINGER). And obviously the Blangst made me squee, though I must admit seeing Kurt punch Cooper in the face would've been more satisfying than watching him be adorable with a stuffed animal he got for Blaine. I'm glad the Anderbros made up in the end, though Coop is still kind of a douche (did he remind anyone else of Jesse St. James?... No? Just me? Well okay then…).
I'm glad Quinn's okay, and I nearly died when her and Rachel hugged (it was adorable, and who doesn't love some Faberry every now and then, even if you don't ship it?). She and Artie have the best friendship ever! I don't know about Quinn and Joe though… I'm not really on board with that relationship. Thoughts?
Ah, but I'm rambling. Enjoy the randomness of the random chapter of sickness!

Chapter 14: Big Brother
Blaine blinked dozily. Why was he waking up? Sleeping had been so amazing-it was warm and dark and comfortable. He should just slip away again…
Something poked his chest and mumbled angrily at him. He had no idea what had been said, but he did register that it was Kurt who was speaking.
"What'sgoingon?" Blaine slurred, lifting an arm to rub at his eyes, careful not to bump Kurt with his elbow.
"Your phone's been ringing for half an hour." Kurt muttered against Blaine's chest, annoyance evident in his voice. "And the last time I answered your phone for you I was yelled at by Jeff for keeping you hostage."
Blaine chuckled a little, remembering the incident. He may not trust the Warblers as readily as before, but he had forgiven them for the whole slushie affair once they had apologized several more times.
Blaine's phone started up again, blaring a preset ring that was shrill and annoying. He sighed, one arm snug around Kurt's upper back while the other flopped over to the nightstand to answer.
"Hello?" he yawned. He was still fighting to keep his eye open, and the familiar weight of Kurt on top of him was making it hard for him to concentrate on staying awake.
"Are you yawning to accent the fact that it took you so long to answer? Because in that case I should be the one yawning because I was the one calling you and waiting for half an hour, but you're improving!" Cooper's voice chattered excitedly.
Blaine blinked rapidly while his brain caught up to his ears. "No, Coop, I'm just tired. You woke me up."
Cooper made a put-out little huff. "Shouldn't you be yelling if you just woke up? I mean, it would emphasize the point that I just disturbed you-" He seemed to catch on to what he was doing and immediately back peddled. "But yawning works too! I mean, it's not like you have the constantly consider every moment a scene or anything!"
Blaine smiled slightly. He knew that's just how Cooper was, and that he was genuinely trying to be better about it warmed Blaine's heart. It was proof that Cooper didn't hate him and that he still had one person in his family who was one his side.
"So, what did you want?" Blaine asked, absentmindedly rubbing Kurt's back with his free hand. The pale boy let out a happy little sigh in response and started twining his fingers through Blaine's curls.
"Oh! Right! I thought I'd try to make it up to you for being such a jerk-especially after you helped me with that audition tape-by taking you and your boyfriend to…" he paused dramatically and Blaine got the mental image that his brother was leaning forwards to emphasize his point, even if Blaine couldn't see him. Blaine had to admit, he was kind of anticipating what Cooper would say, even though the image of him leaning forwards and staring intently at a wall was as hilarious as it was ridiculous. "A movie!"
Blaine wondered, not for the first time, if his brother had gone insane. "You want to take Kurt and me to a movie… at one in the morning?"
"Who wants to take us to a movie?" Kurt wondered, sitting up next to Blaine and stretching. The younger boy missed the warmth, but the view of Kurt's muscles rippling under pale skin as he stretched was pleasant to watch. He licked his lips upon seeing the hickies still dotting Kurt's collar bone.
Cooper laughed like he'd just heard the funniest joke in the world. "Duh! The Titanic just came out in 3D!"
"It came out last week and Kurt and I already saw it." Blaine explained, linking his fingers with Kurt when the other boy took his hand.
"But Blaine-" Cooper whined, dragging out the 'ai' sound as long as he could. "I'm going back to LA soon and I want to get to know you and your boyfriend!"
Blaine didn't bother pointing out that watching a movie involved silence, not getting to know someone, because he was pretty sure Cooper wouldn't understand the difference. And if Cooper was the same as he was when they were younger (which he had proven, for the most part, he was) he would probably talk the whole time and tell everyone within a ten foot radius that he could play the lead better and he'd look hotter.
"I don't know, Coop," Blaine sighed. He wanted he and his brother to be close, he really did. Cooper was the only one who hadn't turned his back on him for being gay, after all. But Cooper was kind of self-absorbed and knew just how to push Blaine's buttons, and he didn't want the tentative bond they'd formed to fall apart.
Apparently, in whatever strange form of English Cooper spoke 'I don't know' means 'yes' because the older boy said "Good. I'll pick you guys up from the house in a few minutes" and hung up.
Blaine sighed, running a hand through his hair as he closed his cell.
"You okay?" Kurt inquired, moving so he and Blaine's sides were pressed together.
The boy in question shrugged, leaning against Kurt tiredly. "Cooper's taking us to see Titanic again. He'll be here in a few minutes."
"But it's one in the morning!" Kurt exclaimed.
Blaine laughed. "He's a tad… eccentric."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "I got that from the 'master course'." He mumbled, causing a laugh to bubble out of Blaine's throat.
"We should get dressed before he gets here." Blaine sighed dejectedly, slumping against the headboard.
Kurt stared at him a moment, an unreadable expression on his face. "I thought you and Cooper patched things up?"
Blaine shrugged again, gazing around the room lazily for his pants. "We did," he allowed. "But he still hurt me. He was the only one to accept me for being gay, but he criticized everything else about me."
Kurt nuzzled behind his ear, placing a soft kiss there. "I think you're perfect." He whispered.
Blaine smiled at the praise, but he was still nervous about seeing Cooper. He was bound to do something wrong within the time it took for them to see the movie, and Cooper would undoubtedly pick up on it.
He could feel Kurt's eyes drilling into him. He knew he shouldn't care as much about what Cooper thought, but he couldn't help it.
Suddenly, Kurt shirked, interrupting Blaine's thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked, looking around for something that could make his boyfriend react that way.
"Blaine," Kurt breathed, leaping across the room to grab something Blaine couldn't see before returning to bed and holding the giant-eyed dog stuffed animal to Blaine's face. "He was watching us the whole time! He saw us" he lowered his voice to almost a whisper "having sex."
Blaine stared at him. "It's a stuffed animal."
Kurt gasped, coving the dog's ears with his hands. "Don't say that! Great, not along with psychosexual therapy-"
"Kurt-"
"He also needs emotional consoling from what you said!" he squealed, hugging the puppy to his chest like it was a child.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.
"You're so weird." Blaine choked out during giggles.
"But it made you feel better, didn't it?" Kurt prompted, wrapping an arm around Blaine's shoulder.
Blaine blinked at him amazedly. How did Kurt always know how to cheer him up? "Yes, it did." He admitted. He leaned in a kissed his lover softly, smiling against his mouth.
"We really do need to get dressed though. I think I'd die of embarrassment if Cooper walked in on us naked."
Blaine just laughed.

AN: There to go! Hope you enjoyed that cracktastic nonsense!
Oh, and the thing with the stuffed animal watching them is from my ex-girlfriend (I still like her, but shh!) who used the same method to cheer me up, only with my cat and 'making out' instead of 'having sex'. It worked-seriously, I wasn't nervous or scared anymore after that!
