Finn smiled as he sat on his new bed, in his new apartment. He had just moved back to Lima from New York, where he had just graduated from College. He had lived with Kurt, who had been a godsend to him over the last few years – Giving him advice about coming out, helping him handle the stresses of living in New York, and finally he had not only helped him find his apartment, but he was staying in Lima for three weeks to help him set up home. Yeah, Kurt was awesome. Unfortunately, he was moving back to New York soon, and Finn didn't know what he would do without the soprano helping him. To make matters worse, Brittany and Rachel, whom he had become close with in New York - Rachel was in theatre college and Brittany was making money teaching acrobatics - were going back after summer.
He quickly shook these thoughts away and focused on the positives of living in Lima again. He got to spend lots of time with his mom, and that was awesome. He smiled as he remembered the day they spent together yesterday, catching up and getting drunk (the second time he'd been drunk with her, after his 21st birthday a few months ago).
He got to spent time with all his old friends; Matt and Mike, who he had really missed goofing off with. Puck, even despite what he did and the fact that they had never been as close afterwards, was still a good friend who looked out for him a lot after he came out. Artie, Tina, Mercedes, hell, even Quinn and little Lea (a.k.a Drizzle), he'd missed all of them. But not as much as he'd missed Will.
It had been years since his graduation, the last time he saw Will. Since then, they had exchanged e-mails and the occasional phone call, but nothing about what was said at graduation – their final goodbye, a declaration of love, had gone unspoken about.
He wasn't sure what he will say when he goes to see Will on Sunday, and he's not too sure if he's ready to start things up again, but he does know that he can't wait to see him.

When Sunday rolls around, he gets ready to head out. He's sure Will won't be at school, so he's going to head to his apartment. He's decided to just ask him out for a beer, talk, and see where things go. Sounds simple enough, right?
Finally, by 11:00 am he's ready. He heads out the door, attempting to calm himself down on the drive to Will's place. He finally arrives and waits outside the door, mustering up the courage to knock. After a few deep breaths, he knocks loudly three times on the door. Well, he thinks to himself, this should be interesting.

Will hears a knock on his door just as he's out the shower and dressed. Who the hell could that be? He doesn't have a lot of friends these days, and those he does have are all teachers who he hardly ever sees. He walks out of his bedroom and down the hallway. Upon answering the door, he sees the one person he was sure he would never see on his doorstep again.
"Finn!" He grabs the man, who he swears has gotten even taller and bulkier if that is even possible, and pulls him into a massive hug. "It's so great to see you! Come in." He pulls out of the hug to see Finn smiling the smile he remembers so well, and leads him into the kitchen.
"I was just about to make lunch. Want a sandwich?" Finn nods, and takes a seat at his kitchen table. The two spend an hour or so catching up – he finds out that Finn graduated a few weeks ago, and that he just moved back to Lima and is looking for work, while Finn asks him how the new Glee club is. He beams proudly and announces "We just took nationals again this year." Finn nods, smiling. "Impressive, impressive. Listen, I've got to go, I was supposed to meet my mom like half an hour ago." Finn stands up, as does Will. "Well, it was great to see you Finn" They hug, and when they pull apart, Will asks; "Would you- I mean, uh…" Damn, when did he get o nervous around Finn!' "Wanna grab a beer or something tonight?" Finn smiles his trademark huge smile, and nods enthusiastically "Yeah, that sounds fantastic!" They make arrangements, and when Finn leaves, Will can't stop himself from staring as we walks away. He gulps. This is going to be an interesting night.
