A/N: Hello all! Some of you may recognize this fic as "Seeing You Stirs Memories", and that's because I've decided to completely revise it. What was meant to be a simple summer fanfic has now turned into one of my favorite stories ever, which I have loads of ideas for. The reason for my decision to restart this is because I feel that the whole plot was very rushed. After I went back and reread this story I found myself with many silly grammatical errors, plot errors, timeline issues, and just downright rushed chapters. At the beginning of chapter one I stated that the fic should only take me the course of the summer to complete, but now that I know exactly what I want from this story and myself, I'm going to do it all over, and do it right this time.

As I briefly stated above, I had some timeline issues with this story the first time around. I changed a lot of things time-wise, for instance, Quinn is pregnant for most of the duration of this fic, New Directions do their ballads project, Burt and Carole get married, and Beiste is the football coach. In other words, I combined elements from both seasons one and two to create some mesh of a timeline. Having so many things going on tended to confuse me, but recently I created an actual outline so I could never get confused anymore.

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Glee or any characters mentioned. I am, in no way, making a profit from this- it's all for entertainment purposes only.

WARNING(s): Slash, a bit of sexual content (although it won't ever include actual sex), and mild language. Also, if you count step-brothers as incest, add that to the list as well.


Kurt, clad in an old McKinley football sweatshirt and silky pajama pants, stumbled downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast upon waking up one particular Saturday morning. As he poured his cereal into a bowl, a half-sleeping Burt Hummel entered the room, accompanying his son. Kurt looked up to make slight eye-contact with Burt as he walked to the pantry; but once he saw his dad looking back, he let his gaze fall to the floor. Ever since the day he purposely sabotaged the man's wedding for his own selfish reasons, Kurt felt nervous being around his dad. He felt like he couldn't even look him in the eye or give him a simple hug without feeling guilty for what he had done.

But maybe that day would change those horrible feelings. Maybe it would erase the guilt, wash away the pain. After all, it was Burt and Carole's wedding day, meaning Kurt's original plans to stop his parents' special day ended up not working out. So that meant there was nothing left to feel remorseful about, right? Kurt sure hoped so…

"Hey Buddy," Burt started. "You look down; is everything alright?"

Kurt hated lying to his father. They were always so honest with each other, always looking out for one another. But here Kurt was, on one of the biggest days of Burt's life, with a secret big enough to fill two baseball stadiums. "I-I'm fine…" he lied. No. It wasn't a lie- it was a fib, said with good intentions. After all, it would just hurt even more if Kurt said anything to ruin or distract Burt from his marriage.

"Are you sure? I mean, I feel like you've been acting more…masculine than you usually would."

Kurt, now looking up at his dad profoundly, seemed confused. Sure, maybe being with Finn a lot more was causing him to appear straighter, but he was still shocked by Burt's words. It wasn't even that Kurt was trying to seem "straight"; it was just that when he was with Finn, he felt more like 'one of the guys', and Kurt liked the idea of that sometimes.

"It's not a bad thing, Kurt, and I don't mind either way, but I just want to make sure you're not pulling anything like that time you pretended to not be gay just for my sake."

Kurt sighed and quickly shuddered, remembering Brittany's lips on top of his. "Dad, no, I'm fine, and still as gay as ever."

"Are you sure it's okay? Is something going on in school that's bothering you?"

"Dad, please," Kurt started, putting a reassuring hand on his dad's shoulder. "Nothing has changed. I assure you that yesterday I put two-hundred dollars on your credit card just buying scarves with Rachel and Mercedes at the mall."

"I…Wait, you did what?"

Kurt grinned obnoxiously, trying to weasel his way out of the kitchen. "It's your big day, Dad. There is no excuse for you to be worrying about anything but the wedding today."

The older Hummel rolled his eyes. "Yeah, well, I'm not going to make you or the girls return anything from yesterday, but let me tell you now that those shopping sprees are going to have to go on hold while we settle in and get used to this new life." Seeing Kurt stride away, he added, "Got it?"

"Of course," Kurt answered in one breath, not turning around.

"Kurt?" Burt called out as his son was half-way up the stairs.

"Yeah?"

"You're…okay with this…right?"

"Of course, Dad. I love Carole almost as much as Mom, and you two are perfect for each other," he answered sincerely.

"And Finn? No problems with him anymore, right?"

Kurt looked nervously around the room, refusing to stare at Burt. His heart sank as he searched within himself for an appropriate response. "Of course," he repeated once again. "We…love each other…"

~x~

"I just don't get why we have to stop…" Finn and Kurt stood alone in the Church hallway a few hours before the reception, both torn apart by the fact that this would be their final secret meeting. "Quinn's still pregnant, and well, it's just really hard to deal with that."

"I don't comprehend. You're not keeping the baby anyway, so why should it be stressful at all?" Kurt may have been feminine, but when it came to legitimate girl problems, he could be clueless.

"She's just so…She's just…a big ball of stress and emotion. I didn't even know it was possible for someone to have that many hormones." Frazzled from just the mention of Quinn, Finn exhaled deeply. "You never answered my question…"

Kurt raised an eyebrow.

"Why do we have to stop? I mean, who cares if our parents are married? It's not like we're actually related. And this relationship- or whatever the hell this even is- is so screwed up anyway, so who cares?"

"Finn—"

"Dude, just hear me out. Living together means more alone time anyway, so it's not like we'll need to sneak around the school."

"If we were to ever get caught…"

"Look…" There had to be a reasonable compromise here. "I'm not ready to let this go, and I know you're not either. Let's just wait 'till after Quinn has her baby- that'll give us a few more months together." Finn hated that. If it were up to him he would dump Quinn to just be with Kurt, still keeping it a secret, of course. He would ignore the fact that they were sort of brothers, and continue to sneak around with the boy looking up at him. But quitting in a few months, at least, was better than quitting cold turkey, he figured.

Kurt smiled. "Sounds reasonable. You've got yourself a deal, Hudson." It sounded, even more than usual, like Kurt was pretty much just being used as an outlet to Quinn's drama, but he didn't really care. All that mattered was that he got to spend a little more time with the one boy he loved.

Finn grinned, going in to press Kurt's lips against his.

Although it was just a peck, it surprised Kurt because of how…public it was. Nobody was actually there with them, but soon enough the room would be flooded with people. They're lucky nobody walked in on them… "Where're our parents, by the way? They're taking their sweet time, I suppose?"

Finn shrugged. Why were their parents later than expected? Whatever…more private time to fool around. "Wanna go make out in my car?" he asked abruptly.

"I…Sure." Kurt was feeling risky that day. Maybe they could manage to fog up the windows so they wouldn't be visible, he wondered. Who knew? Kurt was still getting used to having somebody to secretly make out with.

And this could be one of their last moments together…
