Disclaimer- I own nothing.
Carole and Burt Hummel got married on August 24, 2000. It was a lovely occasion at the local church. Both of their sons acted as best men in the wedding.
This made Kurt Hummel and Finn Hudson stepbrothers. They had been since they were both six-year olds. They were extremely comfortable with each other, and shared a room.
In their family, both Kurt and Finn had their roles. Kurt was older than Finn by five months, so he was the older brother. He was often exasperated with his brother's obliviousness. Finn was younger than Kurt, but a whole lot bigger. He was very protective of his brother. Just about everybody knew not to mess with Kurt and Finn.
Up until the start of high school, Kurt and Finn were more than stepbrothers. They were best friends. It was almost physically impossible to tear them apart. They did absolutely everything together.
At the start of the boys' freshman year, everything changed. Finn got his new friends from football. Kurt made friends with his fellow glee clubbers. Their circles rarely passed. In fact, nobody knew how close the boys truly were, or even that they were stepbrothers. Both boys preferred it this way and avoided telling their peers about their family.
Although the boys were no longer best friends, or even very close, they didn't dislike each other. This changed when Finn's friends started to pick on Kurt. At first Finn stood up for his brother, but Kurt thought he was even worse than the other Neanderthals, because Finn knew exactly how much he was breaking his brother's heart.
As the boys got older, they began to argue a lot. Finn didn't understand why Kurt couldn't just be normal. Kurt didn't understand why Finn didn't just stick up for him, instead of being a total coward. The dissimilarities that had once brought the two together were now tearing that apart.
Since the boys avoided each other at school, it was very easy to keep up their charade of not knowing each other. That is, until Finn was forced to join the glee club. They were forced to see each other for an extra hour every weekday from 3:00 to 4:00.
