Chapter 1: Confusion
Finn had always thought Blaine was a nice guy. He seemed to love Kurt a lot. He would hold doors open, pay for Kurt's meals, and was great around Burt and Carole. Kurt would come home gushing about the romantic things he and Blaine did on their dates. How Blaine took them to a park and they walked along the river, chatting about their day. How they would go for picnics and then see fireworks. How Blaine would serenade Kurt about how much he loves him. Finn approved of Blaine. He took good care of Kurt and was a pretty cool guy.
Because of all this, Finn could have never guessed what would happen. He could never guess how Blaine had a thing for tall guys. He could never guess how Blaine liked to play. He could never guess what Blaine would do, and how it would tear their family apart. Because there was no way it was sexual harassment if a guy did it to another guy. There was no way it was in any way sexual abuse if it came from your brother's boyfriend. There was no way Finn could fight back if he wanted Kurt to be happy.
The end of the school year came and went. Everyone rejoiced that it was summer. They no longer had to worry about reading, homework, and the pressures of being in Glee club. Finn was ecstatic that it was summer. He could finally relax at home and play video games for hours without his mom yelling at him to stop and do his homework. He could just walk around the house lazily.
He was proud of himself for finally being more comfortable around Kurt. It wasn't such a big deal anymore that Kurt was gay. Finn would even go so far as to discuss Blaine with Kurt. Of course, every time he mentioned Blaine's name, Kurt would explode into gushing about all the wonderful things they did. It always brought a smile to Finn's face to see Kurt so happy again. After they got back from New York, Kurt went to meet Blaine for coffee. When he got back he was so happy, jumping on the balls of his feet and he yelled through the house, "Blaine loves me." Finn was happy for Kurt and told him so causing Kurt to give him a huge hug.
See, Finn was getting better. He was able to deal with his brother dating a guy. He was completely okay with it. Heck, he even walked around the house in boxers now. He knew Kurt wouldn't do anything because he had Blaine. And Blaine made Kurt happy.
As summer progressed, Blaine seemed to be around the house more often. Kurt always said it was because he didn't have the best home life. He was not treated as fairly there and he enjoyed coming over to the Hummel household because he felt welcome. Burt and Carole absolutely adored Blaine. He was very well mannered and always well behaved. He never stepped a toe out of line and had a naturally calming presence about him. To the Warblers, Blaine was their leader. He could do no wrong. He took care of his own and made sure everything went smoothly.
Blaine was someone who Finn trusted. He looked after Kurt, and Finn liked that. So that is why when this all started, Finn never saw it coming. He didn't recognize what was happening until it was too late. At that point, he didn't really know what to do. It all started with the little things, winks here and there, casual touches, things Blaine would say, and then it quickly escalated.
It was a typical summer day at the Hummel household. Finn was stretched out on the couch lazily, flipping channels. He hadn't bothered to get out of his pyjamas and was sporting blue boxers and a white wife beater. It was currently around one in the afternoon and there was nothing on the television.
The doorbell rang and Kurt ran down the stairs, dressed impeccably as always screaming, "I'll get it! It's Blaine!"
Finn didn't even bother looking up and instead reached his hand into a bag of chips that was lying beside him on the couch. He heard Kurt open the door and exchange greetings with Blaine and then the two of them walked into the room.
"We are going upstairs," Kurt said looking at Finn.
Finn looked up and nodded, and received a wink from Blaine. Blaine and Kurt made their way upstairs and Finn looked back towards where they were standing, confused. Why did Blaine just wink at him? That was a little weird. He passed off the motion as nothing, turning his gaze back to the television.
A couple minutes later, a thought passed into his mind and he shot up. Did that wink have anything to do with Kurt and Blaine going to Kurt's room alone? Finn sat there wide eyed for a moment before calming. Nah, their parents were home. Kurt and Blaine weren't going to do anything.
For the next few days, Blaine seemed to be over a lot. It was almost as if he had nothing other to do than hang out with Kurt. Even if they went out, they would always come back to the house either before or after. Finn was usually home because he was very lazy. If he went out, it was usually because Rachel forced him out of the house. Everyone else he knew was lazy too so he just hung out with them over chat or by playing COD or some other video game.
During those days that Blaine was at the house, Finn noticed something. Whenever he would look at Blaine, Blaine would wink at him. It was starting to get unusual. Either Blaine and Kurt were really getting it on and Blaine wanted Finn to know, or there was something else. However, Finn didn't worry too much. Maybe Blaine had one of those weird body things that happened and then didn't stop. Whatever those were called. Ticks or something? That's weird. Aren't they bugs?
But really, it didn't bother Finn. If Blaine wanted to, he could wink at him. Maybe Blaine thought he was hot. That was cool. Although he didn't want to get in the way of Kurt and Blaine's relationship. That would be weird if they both had the same taste in guys. Therefore, Finn ignored Blaine when he did that.
A couple of days later, Finn was watching TV again when Kurt and Blaine came into the house. Kurt told Blaine he was going to take a quick shower and he would be right down. Blaine said he would wait and came to join Finn on the couch.
Finn looked to Blaine and said, "Sup man?"
Blaine looked back and said, "Hey. Not much. What are you watching?"
Finn shrugged and said, "Basketball."
Blaine looked at him for a moment before he said, "Oh. I think there is a football game on."
Finn shrugged again and said, "Yeah I'm watching this."
Blaine furrowed his brows and said, "I think we should watch the football. Don't you?"
Finn thought for a moment that was a little weird but said, "I guess we could..."
Blaine smiled widely and said, "That's right Finn! We should watch football!"
Blaine reached over Finn to grab the television remote, and as he did, he casually ran his hand across Finn's arm. Finn turned to Blaine in confusion but Blaine was focussed on the television screen. He had changed the channel to a football game and was avidly watching. Finn looked at Blaine for a moment longer before turning to face the TV and watch as well. He was confused again but figured he must be imagining things. Blaine didn't look bothered by anything so it couldn't be a big deal.
The two boys watched the TV for a while before Kurt came downstairs. Blaine smiled widely and his entire attention went to Kurt.
"What are you boys watching? Football?" Kurt asked.
"We can watch whatever you want Kurt," Blaine said immediately.
Kurt smiled at Blaine and said, "You are the greatest boyfriend ever!"
Then Kurt grabbed the remote and changed the channel to a Project Runway rerun.
Finn looked between the two again, confused once more. Why was Kurt allowed to watch whatever he wanted but Finn had to change it. He knew that Blaine actually preferred sports to these reality shows. It was probably because Kurt was Blaine's boyfriend. Finn thought that was cool.
Finn got up and decided to go upstairs. He had no interest in watching Project Runway. As he headed upstairs, he noticed that Blaine followed him with his eyes. Blaine's eyes never left him the entire time it took for Finn to leave the room.
Finn spent the next few days out of the house, hanging out with Rachel as she dragged him to the mall shopping and she discussed every single song she thought they could duet later. Then he spent the next day at Puck's playing video games with him, Sam, Artie, and Mike. They didn't really talk about much and it was a good distraction for Finn over what was happening lately with Blaine. He briefly considered bringing it up but it was not such a big deal right now.
One day, Finn was hanging out at home and no one else was there. Kurt was out with Mercedes and Burt and Carole were at work. Finn was lazing around the house again, without much will to go out or do anything.
Then, the doorbell rang and Finn groaned. He really didn't want to have to get up and answer that. Against his better judgement, Finn got up and walked downstairs. He opened the door and was surprised to see Blaine there.
He looked at Blaine and said, "Dude. He's not here."
Finn was about to close the door when he swore he heard Blaine mumble, "Perfect."
Finn looked back and said, "I don't know what time he will be back..."
Blaine said, "It's okay. Actually, I wanted to talk to you if that's okay. I'm sort of planning a surprise for Kurt and I was wondering if you could help me out."
Finn thought that was pretty cool of Blaine to do. Blaine was clearly a way better boyfriend that Finn was to Rachel. Finn motioned Blaine inside and they both walked into the other room.
Blaine said, "Do you think we could go to your room? Just in case someone comes home? I don't want to be overheard."
Finn said, "Dude. No one will come home for a while."
Blaine looked at Finn and said, "It will make me feel so much better though."
Finn felt confused again but said, "Uh okay."
The two boys walked upstairs to Finn's room and entered. Then Blaine closed the door behind him.
"So what do you want to surprise Kurt with?" Finn asked.
Blaine grinned at Finn and had a weirdly crazy look in his eyes.
"I need your help Finn. You want Kurt to be happy right?" Blaine asked.
"Yes..." Finn trailed off confused.
"Good. And so do I. And if I'm happy Kurt is happy. Don't you agree?" Blaine asked.
"Uh... yeah." Finn said.
"So you want to make me happy." Blaine said.
It wasn't a question anymore. Finn didn't know exactly how to respond.
Blaine just smiled at Finn and walked close to him. He ran his hand along Finn's arm, starting at the shoulder and running it down to Finn's hand. Finn furrowed his brow and tried to pull away from Blaine, not knowing what was going on.
"No Finn. You don't want to do that. You want to stay still," Blaine said.
Finn looked at Blaine again, even more confused.
"Dude? What are you doing?" Finn asked.
"Finn, I think we both know what we want. We want to keep Kurt happy. And I will do that. But I need you to help me. Sometimes, I need something that Kurt can't give me. And when I don't have that, I feel upset. And when I'm upset, it makes Kurt upset. So I need you to help me. Because we both don't want Kurt to be upset," Blaine said languidly.
"Yeah. Of course. I don't want Kurt upset either," Finn said, remembering all the times Kurt was mad at him.
"Good boy Finn. So you are going to help me. When I need something, I will come to you. And you can help me make Kurt happy," Blaine said.
Finn nodded. It sounded like a good idea. Everything Blaine said sounded true. If making Blaine happy would make Kurt happy, Finn would do it.
"So what do I have to do?" Finn asked.
Blaine smirked and said, "Oh, I will tell you that. Don't you worry. For now, just let me take care of Kurt. I will come to you when I need your help. Right now, I just want you to be happy as well Finn."
Finn smiled. Blaine was such a great guy, trying to make not just his boyfriend happy but his boyfriend's brother as well.
Then Blaine circled Finn and said, "I love how tall you are Finn. Tell me, how tall you are."
Finn looked nervous and said, "Um, I'm 6'3."
"Hmmm.. yes you are," Blaine agreed, reaching up on his toes to see how high he could get. He smiled and shook his head.
"What?" Finn asked.
Blaine looked at him through his eyelashes.
"You know what Finn? I think this is going to work out perfectly. We keep this a secret and Kurt will be the happiest man on Earth. But if he finds out, he could get upset." Blaine pouted as he said this then added, "We don't want that to happen right?"
"Uh no, " Finn said. He didn't want Kurt to be mad at him. That's true. So he shouldn't say anything.
"I won't tell Kurt anything about this," Finn said.
"I'm proud of you Finn. You are a good boy," Blaine said.
Finn smiled at the praise, but still looked a little unsure.
"I'm going to go now, but we will talk soon. Alright?" Blaine said.
"Sure," Finn agreed.
Blaine smiled and walked out of Finn's room.
"Walk me out?" Blaine asked.
Finn walked downstairs with Blaine and opened the door for him.
Blaine smiled widely and said, "Bye Finn!"
His tone was much more chipper than the dark mood he had before and Finn watched as Blaine walked off happily to his car and drove away. Finn stood there for a few moments, wondering what just happened. He felt like Blaine had made him agree so easily and he didn't really know how. Now, it felt okay. He did want to make Kurt happy. And so did Blaine. So he couldn't have done anything wrong, could he?
Later that day, everyone came home and crowded around the kitchen table for dinner. Everyone talked about his or her day enthusiastically and Finn sat there quietly. After a while, they noticed that Finn wasn't saying much.
Carole asked, "Finn, how was your day?"
"What? Oh nothing happened. Yeah it was boring," Finn responded.
They looked at him strangely for a while but didn't really push the issue as Kurt launched into a story of a sale he found at the mall with Mercedes.
Finn sat there contemplating what Blaine said earlier, lost in thought. He felt a little weird, but didn't want to focus on it too much.
After dinner, the doorbell rang and Kurt ran to answer it. He returned with Blaine with him and the two of them joined the rest of the Hummel family on the couch as they watched a movie. Finn kept sneaking glances at Blaine to see if he would do anything or mention anything that happened but Blaine acted as if nothing happened earlier. As if he was never there earlier that day.
Finn decided to ignore Blaine's presence and just watch the movie. But halfway through the movie he could feel someone staring at him. He looked to the side and saw it was Blaine. Blaine saw him looking and a smirk rose on his face. Finn stared back confused for a moment before Kurt got Blaine's attention and Blaine's expression faded into a smile so quickly Finn was unsure if Kurt ever saw the smirk.
The movie ended and Blaine headed out. Just before he left the house, he turned to Finn once more and winked.
Hello All. In case you didn't read my authors note (which I really hope you did), I will explain a few things. I don't know why I am writing this. It just popped in my mind and wouldn't go away. This is my first fic here that isn't fluff. And truthfully, this fic scares me. Blaine has as much control over me as he does Finn. So I don't know what is going to happen.
I am posting this now and hoping that I will get enough time to update it very soon. I am halfway through the next few chapters right now.
Let me know what you think.
