A/N: I've been writing this fic for months, pretty much. And I couldn't decide whether I wanted it to be a super long oneshot or a multi-chaptered fic. I've decided to make it multi-chaptered since I wanted to finally post it. We're all grieving right now, I've been taking this very hard but fanfics have been helping me take my mind off things which is also why I wanted to post this now, because hopefully fanfics are helping you as well. The story isn't complete, but I do have about 10,000 words finished. Please let me know what you think!
When Finn found out his brother got them tickets for a cruise, he was ecstatic. When he found out that he was going to be the third wheel with his brother and his boyfriend, the excitement disappeared. Don't get him wrong, he loves his brother, and Blaine's a nice guy; he's been dating Kurt for years. But to be around during one of their intimate moments isn't so great. At least when he's home with them he can escape their constant love fest pretty easily, but being trapped with them on a boat in the middle of the ocean is a totally different story.
Kurt's under the impression that Finn's going to magically find a girlfriend on this boat. He hasn't had a girlfriend since Quinn three years ago and God knows how that turned out. Since then, he hasn't had the confidence with girls that he used to. Kurt tells him that girls are constantly falling all over him and that he's too oblivious to realize it, but he doesn't know what he's talking about. Who would be interested in him? Quinn barely wanted him around. He has a degree in education and has done absolutely nothing with it, still working in his step-father's tire shop. He knows he isn't going to find a girl anytime soon, so he'll just humor Kurt this entire trip.
It's not like he doesn't want a girlfriend – because he does. Badly. The loneliness along with the fear of rejection has taken over his body. He wants someone he can confide in, someone he can trust with anything. Someone he knows he'll love forever. But he thought he had that with Quinn, and now he's just scarred. How will he know that - if he ever finds love again - it's the real deal this time?
But girlfriend or not, here he is on this huge cruise ship with Kurt and Blaine. It seems as though Kurt still doesn't understand how uncomfortable it makes Finn to be the third wheel around them, because they've been on this damn boat for no more than an hour and already they've already dragged him to the shopping center. A shopping center. Really? They'll be on this boat for two days; will it kill them to wait until they get to the Bahamas? And to make matters worse, he's the one carrying the bags! He's been in such an annoyed trance that he hasn't even noticed what stores they've gone into, he hasn't bought anything, yet he's the one carrying the bags.
"Kurt," Finn groaned as his brother handed him another bag. "It's been an hour and we haven't even seen our rooms yet. Can we at least bring the bags there and then see what else the boat has to offer besides shopping?" As annoyed as he's become over this whole trip, he's very thankful that he has a separate room (although connected) from Kurt and Blaine.
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea," Blaine nodded.
"But there's a bunch of shops we haven't even stepped foot in yet!"
"You're going to the Bahamas, Kurt. Maybe you could enjoy it without having your hand in your wallet every six seconds?" Kurt huffed at Finn's response and looked at Blaine, who shrugged.
"Fine," Kurt rolled his eyes. "We'll drop the bags off at the rooms and decide what to do from there."
When they got to Kurt and Blaine's room, Finn immediately dropped the bags on one of the beds and sat down on the chair next to it, pulling out his cell phone while Kurt ruffled through the bags and Blaine looked through a brochure.
Upon taking out his cell phone, Finn's eyebrows pulled together in confusion. "There's no WiFi?"
"We're in the middle of the ocean," Kurt replied, still looking through his bags.
"Aren't cruises supposed to be luxurious? How can they be if I have no service?"
Seeing that Kurt wasn't going to reply, Blaine answered. "This brochure says that you have to pay for the WiFi."
"What crap. How am I-"
"Finn! Weren't you just telling me to relax because we're on vacation? If I can't put my hand in my wallet, you can deal with not being on your phone for a couple days," Kurt snapped.
"Oh, you know you'll go shopping as soon as I'm not around you guys," Finn rolled his eyes. "And as much as I enjoy a good round of Angry Birds, I was more concerned if Mom and Burt tried contacting us."
"I'm sure that's what you were worried about," Kurt mumbled.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means you just want to be the anti-social hermit that you always are and not enjoy what's around you."
"Says the guy who spends the first hour of his first cruise shopping," Finn scoffed.
"Uh, guys?" Blaine tried to cut in.
"Ugh! We need to find you a girl to hang around because you are not ruining my time on this cruise by being such a damn boy!"
"Guys?"
"You're the one who invited me!"
"Guys?"
"And I can just tell you're going to make me regret it!"
"Guys!"
"What?!" Finn and Kurt both yelled, looking at Blaine.
"If the two of you are fighting the entire trip, none of us will enjoy it," Blaine sighed. "Why don't we just find a bar to have a drink in and resolve our issues calmly."
"I'm not the one with the problem. Kurt's the one who's snapping for no reason."
"Mature, Finn."
Finn opened his mouth to retaliate but was cut off by Blaine. "Guys?"
"Fine," they both grumbled.
"Good," Blaine nodded. "Now, let's go." He stood up and practically forced the two out of their spots and pushed them towards the door.
"So I think in order to enjoy this trip we need to spend some time apart as well as some time together."
Now they were sitting in a booth at one of the ships many bars with their respective drinks in hand; Blaine next to Kurt and Finn facing them.
"It's obvious the three of us have different interests," Blaine continued. "But there's things on this ship that we all can enjoy together and not just alone."
"Blaine, I appreciate you trying to make this situation better, but I know for a fact all Kurt's gonna do on the boat is shop and go to the spa."
Kurt nodded. "He's got a point. I might partake in a bit of karaoke as well."
"That's an idea. Karaoke is something we all can do."
Finn groaned. "I don't think so."
"Why not? We were all in show choir, Finn. It's exactly like that except for the dancing. Which is good, because you don't need to be embarrassed." Blaine tried to reason and Kurt laughed, sipping on his drink.
Finn glared at Kurt. "Singing on a cruise is totally different from show choir. At least when we performed I would never see the people in the audience again; I have to see these people for an entire week."
"You have a good voice, Finn. No one's going to make fun of you."
"I'm not doing karaoke." He took a drink from his beer and turned away from them as Kurt started to discuss possible duet ideas with Blaine. He put his drink down and sighed as he looked around the area. This bar was right on the deck so you could walk into it from either the inside or the outside. Their booth was right next to one of the windows so Finn was looking out towards the water. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and it made the ocean sparkle. Sunset wasn't for a few hours but Finn thought he might have to watch it tonight, you don't get a chance like this very often.
Right when he thought that, a woman walked into his line of vision. A beautiful woman, he thought. She was leaning against the ships railing and glancing at her phone, for the time, he supposed, since there's no service. Her hair was a wavy dark brown and reached up to her breasts, which were barely there, but it fit her figure well. She was wearing a red sundress with tiny black polka dots that reached her mid-thigh, showing off her amazing legs that looked like they went on for miles, and on her feet were black flip flops. She was pouting as she looked side to side, she must be waiting for someone, but he didn't care. He didn't want to think that she could be waiting for her boyfriend, he couldn't stop looking at her. She sighed and turned around, leaning her arms against the railing and looking out towards the ocean, giving Finn a nice view of her ass.
"Finn, why is your mouth hanging open?" Kurt said as he saw Finn staring out the window with his jaw unhinged. When he didn't answer, Kurt snapped his fingers in front of his face. "Finn!"
Finn jumped, closing his mouth and looking over at Kurt. "What?"
"What were you staring at?"
"Nothing," Finn said quickly.
"Finn, your mouth was hanging open and you didn't hear us calling you," Finn licked his lips and quickly gave a glance out the window. But to his disappointment, the girl was gone.
"It was nothing, I just thought the ocean looked pretty."
"Right. So you were ogling at the ocean?" Kurt gave him a condescending look while Blaine was amused.
"Uh, yeah. I guess." There was no way he was going to tell either of them about that girl. He'd never hear the end of it.
"Right. Okay. Well, while you were drooling over the scenery, Blaine and I decided we're going to go to the spa and give you some time to yourself. Is that okay?"
"Yeah. Cool." Finn nodded.
"And tomorrow we'll all spend time by the pool together, and afterwards Kurt and I will attend karaoke while you do your thing."
"Sounds awesome."
"Alright. We'll see you back at the room then?" They asked as they slid out of the booth.
"Yeah, I'll see you there." They both nodded and walked off in the direction of the spa or wherever they said they were going. Finn didn't care. All he knew was that he needed to find that girl.
