Chapter Text
Kurt was still torn up after his break-up with Blaine. And he knew that Finn was still depressed after Rachel ended between them. Kurt thought back to his sophomore year, when he had loved Finn as more than a friend. Even though that had been almost two years ago, Kurt still loved that year. He didn't regret feeling that way for Finn, and he never would. And he knew deep down he still felt that way.
He had tried to hide it with Blaine, but his feelings for Blaine had become real. But then, Blaine had cheated on him with Sebastian, and Kurt had felt completely heartbroken. When Blaine had admitted to kissing the cocky Warbler, Kurt had ended it there. It had made him so mad, and he tried to block that day out. But, he had that vague sense that he had thrown something at Blaine. Besides that, though, Blaine and Kurt had remained friends, and Blaine had surprisingly remained at McKinley. Of course, that was explained when, after a week after Kurt broke up with Blaine, Sebastian appeared in the Glee Room. So, Blaine stayed, but only because Sebastian transferred, that figured.
And Kurt was all alone. He had no one. Absolutely no one. Well, no one but Finn, who had been there for him after the big break up. Finn was the only one to know what Kurt was going through, because he was going through the same thing. Rachel had told Finn that she couldn't see him any more after admitting she had feelings for a certain Mohawk-sporting football player. Oh, and don't forget to mention they did something that shocked the whole Glee Club, they totally went all the way. Sometimes Kurt thought that Finn was worse off. That had been a month ago, and Finn still wasn't speaking to either Rachel or Puck. Yeah, Finn was definitely worse off than Kurt.
Just then, Kurt's ringtone on his cell phone went off. He looked down to see Finn's smile coming at him. The taller boy had sent him a text message.
When Kurt opened it, he smiled.
Couldnt stand being alone much longer so im on my way rite now. Is burt there?"
Kurt replied instantly No, we went out w/his friends y?
Not even a minute later, there was a knocking at the door. Then Kurt's phone went off. He looked down and saw this:
I need 2 tell u something
Then the doorbell rang. Kurt hurried to get it. When he opened it, he had to look up to see who it was.
Finn was crying, like actually crying. This surprised Kurt, he had never seen his friend cry. Not once, and here he was, on Kurt's doorstep, just crying away. Kurt wondered what made him cry, now what happened, for if his two most serious girlfriends cheating on him with Puck, his best friend, was not enough to make him cry, than what was?
Kurt gestured for Finn to come inside, and led his friend into the living room. He gently pushed him onto the couch, and Kurt took a seat next to him.
"What's the matter Finn?" he asked.
Finn looked at Kurt, and choked out, "It's Quinn...all over again."
Kurt's mind started to buzz. Wait, so Quinn cheated on Finn with Puck. Rachel did the same thing too. The direct aftermath of the first one was that Quinn got... Kurt didn't even have to finish that thought. He knew exactly what Finn meant.
"Oh my God!" he exclaimed. "Rachel's pregnant!"
Sometime, while Kurt had been running through his mind what Finn had meant, the brown-eyed boy had stopped crying. But now, it looked as if he had gone into shock. Instead of verbally answering Kurt's accusations, Finn just nodded.
"Whose is it?" Kurt asked, hoping Finn would know what he meant.
In answer, Finn just shrugged. Whether it meant he didn't know, or he didn't understand Kurt's question was unclear to him.
Kurt felt bad for his friend, twice his girlfriends cheated on him with his best friend, and twice they had become impregnated. Even if Rachel's kid was Finn's, something Kurt did not believe, it wasn't fair of her to scare Finn like that. This was one thing Kurt was glad he would never have to feel: scared to death that he had created a life when he hadn't even graduated yet. This was one of the many reasons why Kurt was glad he was gay.
Even though Kurt didn't--nor would he ever--know what Finn was going through, he knew he had to help his friend. He wasn't going to pretend he knew what Finn felt, but he would be there. Rachel wouldn't get the best of Finn; Kurt would make sure of that.
Kurt began to soothingly rub Finn's back. He kept that up for a while when he realized something, Fin had changed so much since their sophomore year. Back then, Finn was homophobic, and not too big on Kurt. Now their friendship had grown so much, Finn was willing to let Kurt know Rachel was pregnant. And Kurt was willing to bet that he had been the first person Finn had turned to.
Then, Finn murmured something so soft that Kurt could just barely make it out. He could've sworn it was "Kurt, I'm scared," but he couldn't be sure.
Kurt didn't know why he did what he did next. All he knew was that something inside him caused him to hug Finn. And whatever strange force that was working in him, must've been working in Finn too, because Kurt felt hands wrapping around him.
Just then, Kurt heard footsteps. He looked up to see his father standing there. Though he couldn't tell, he figured Finn had seen him too, because he felt his hands letting go.
Finn murmured something like "I'm gonna go." And then he walked out of the living room. Kurt stared that way until he heard the door close. He wondered how he had failed to notice it when his dad had entered. You couldn't shut the door without it slamming.
Then he turned back to his dad, who looked shocked. "Would you care to explain?" he asked.
"It was nothing, Dad," Kurt replied.
"It didn't look like nothing. I thought the Hudson boy was straight," replied his dad.
"He is," Kurt said. It then occurred to him maybe he didn't want Finn to be straight. But, no, that was just absurd. Those days of thinking were long gone. They had stopped after he really fell for Blaine.
"Then why were you hugging him? I sure looked like he was hugging you back."
"It was just a friendly hug!" Kurt screamed, finally losing his temper. "Finn's just going through a rough time. I was only comforting him!"
"Okay," his dad said, backing off. "It's getting late out, why don't you go to bed?"
Kurt knew this was his father's way of ending their disagreement. He went up to his room, but he didn't go to sleep. No, he wasn't tired. Instead he was mesmerized by his trail of thinking. Kurt couldn't believe that for a second, he thought he liked Finn again. But, he didn't, he liked Blaine...didn't he? But if he had really loved Blaine, wouldn't he of fought for him harder instead of just letting Sebastian have him? He didn't know. All these thoughts were hurting his brain. He let out a frustrated sigh and plumped down on his bed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, he woke up. It was a Sunday, and Kurt had absolutely no plans. Just then, his phone rang. He looked at the clock; it was 7:45AM. He only knew one other person who woke up this early, and he did not want to talk to her.
He answered the phone anyway; he didn't want to be rude.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hey Kurt," Rachel replied. "I was wondering if you would like to hang out."
Kurt didn't want to hang out with Rachel, but there were some things he needed to tell her, and he didn't feel like telling her on the phone. So, he arranged to meet at Rachel's house in an hour.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When he got there, he knocked one, and Rachel opened the door.
"Hello Kurt," she chirped.
Kurt just nodded to Rachel who led him inside. They sat down on the couch.
"Rachel, I know," he said.
"Know what?" she asked.
"That you're," Kurt pointed to Rachel's stomach.
"Oh," she looked lost in thought for a while. Then she said, "Did Finn tell you?" Then she smiled. Before Kurt could reply, she said, "Kurt, don't worry. I know all about it."
Now Kurt was just completely confused. He had no idea what Rachel was talking about. "What do you mean? What do you know?"
"Oh, come on Kurt!" Rachel half-yelled, half-sighed in frustration. "It was obvious after Finn broke up with me what was going on."
This statement didn't help Kurt at all. Actually, all it did was confuse him even more. "What? Finn didn't break up with you, you broke up with him"
"That's what he would say," Rachel scoffed. "No, he broke up with me Kurt. You don't know why?"
"Yeah, because you were cheating on him with Puck," Kurt replied.
"No," Rachel replied, "well, yeah, I was. But that's not the real reason why he broke up with me. It was just a lame excuse he used. Sort of like your lame excuse of breaking up with Blaine. So what if he kissed Sebastian? You guys could've worked it out."
"No we couldn't" Kurt replied firmly. He didn't know where Rachel was going with this conversation, but he would make his point clear. "Blaine doesn't love me anymore. It's obvious that he loves Sebastian."
"Kurt, can't you see Blaine is just using Sebastian? He wants you back. But you're too busy mooning over my ex-boyfriend to see," Rachel stated flatly.
Mooning over Finn? What is Rachel talking about? I don't moon over anyone, especially Finn. He's my friend, that's all. So what if I hang out with him? All these thoughts, and more, entered Kurt's mind.
"I do not moon over Finn. And I'm pretty sure Blaine really does love Sebastian. Rachel, I don't know where you're getting all this information, but whoever it is, is obviously unreliable."
"You don't know why Finn broke up with me, do you?" Rachel asked again.
Kurt wasn't going to play this anymore. He was getting tired of getting wrapped up in Rachel's drama. So instead, he just ignored her.
He guessed Rachel didn't like that too much, because she said, very impatiently, "He said he was breaking up with me because he had feelings for...You know what?" At this point she glared at him, and said, "I don't think I'll tell you. It's not like you'd actually care anyway. Now, please leave my house. You are no longer an invited guest."
Kurt was only too glad to leave.
As he drove back to his house, he thought of what Rachel had said. Was she about to say that Finn had feelings for Kurt? No, Finn was straight, there was no way he could like Kurt. Rachel had just been trying to make him ask what she had meant, had only wanted him to talk to her. Well, he wouldn't play her game. He was just so sick of the entire thing.
