A/N: So this is idea popped up into my head. I will warn you, this has some drama and angst so if you don't like it then don't read. Also this is a Puck/Kurt story. This chapter is Kurt/Finn but it will get there. My OTP is Puck/Kurt so it will happen. This story however does deal with some hardcore things towards the end.

Future Warnings: Suicide, Affairs, and Sexual Actions between Males. This chapter is not bad but in the future there will be NC-17 action.

Chapter 1: Introductions

He sat there wondering why in the world he was doing this. The year was 1947 and yet he still didn't have any control over his decisions. He knew it was a really good opportunity for him but he still couldn't remember why he was doing this. The twenty one year old man thought that maybe he was a little too old to still be doing what his father asked him to do. So why exactly was he here right now?

When he turned his head he was reminded just exactly why he was doing this. Kurt Hummel saw his father sitting next to him. His father looked so tired and stressed and he probably is. His father's company, Hummel Oil Corp, wasn't doing so well. In fact, the company seemed to be on a downfall. His father needed a merger with the Hudson Oil Co. The only way he knew how was something he wasn't particularly happy about but he knew it was the only way. He had to be engaged to one Finn Hudson.

So here Kurt sat, in the middle of a first class restaurant, with his father, waiting for who would soon to be his future fiancé and future mother in law. Kurt put an extra effort into his wardrobe that day. He might as well look good for this boy. He was wearing an ivory Chanel suit. It was an original and one of a kind that his father ordered for him a while ago. His hair was pushed back in a fashion that didn't look like he was some stuck up rich kid but it still looked flawless nonetheless.

He looks at his father and grimaced. "Now look Kurt, this is a big opportunity for us. This merger can really save our butts and you know that. So please, be on your best behavior." His father said to him. Kurt nodded.

"I understand dad. I really do, I just wish that there was some other way." Call Kurt old fashioned, but he always assumed someone should marry for love, not for business. But what does he know? Maybe this Finn Hudson might be the man he falls in love with. Maybe he can kill two birds with one stone. His father nods at him.

"I understand. I do too, but you know there isn't any other way." His father says. Kurt just looks back to his champagne glass. Well might as well have a drink then. Bottoms up! Kurt thinks to himself before downing the whole glass. A waiter comes up and fills his glass with more champagne before leaving back to his quarters.

Kurt goes to take another swig from his glass when he sees his father stand with great posture. He assumes his guests have arrived so he stands and faces the direction that his father is looking. It's his first time seeing the Hudson duo and he just had to make a few judgments off the back. They definitely looked like new money. The mother looked like her husband probably died and left her a fortune. He soon found later that that was exactly the case.

Finn Hudson, however, was a completely different case. He is very tall, probably 6'3" and has dark brown hair. He looks well built but not too muscular and the black suit he is wearing just looks perfect. But although he looked really good, the man has this off vibe to him that Kurt couldn't but his finger on. His mother was the first to speak. "Good evening, I'm Carole Hudson and this is my son Finn Hudson. You must be Burt and Kurt Hummel." She smiled at the name rhyme. Kurt simply nodded and uttered a simple 'how do you do' to the woman. They all sat down and were given more champagne and their appetizers were set.

Kurt was about to just give up on the boy and say nothing was wrong until he opened his mouth and spoke. "Whoa, there are like a lot of forks and stuff. Which one do I use for which?" He asked to no one in particular. That was when it hit Kurt. This boy is not too bright. I mean he's charming and cute but I like a guy with a little more edge and brains. Kurt thought to himself. He smiled at Finn.

"Just start from the outside and work your way in." Kurt said. Finn looked at him and realized Kurt wasn't being patronizing in any way and just wanted to help so he smiled at the porcelain boy.

"Hey, that's an easier way of putting it dude, thanks." Finn replied. Kurt could practically feel his father's happiness that things were going to so well. Finn had sat next to him at the four seated table; his father on the other side and Carole directly across. "So what do you like to do for fun? I mean now that we pretty much got to you know…" Finn trailed off and Kurt was glad. It was embarrassing to say it out loud.

Kurt smiled at him before speaking. "I like to write and read. But most of my time is spent working on fashion and clothes that I design. I also like to sing when no one's around." They both laughed at that. "What about you?"

Finn put some caviar in his mouth and swallowed before continuing. "Oh I like sports mostly. I go to as many games as I can. Most of the time I'm at the office working through papers but on my free time I try to get to the games. Being in Manhattan really is a fun place too. There's so much to do here." Kurt nodded. There was so much to do here. People could go shopping and dancing. You could head to the pub or the café for a quick drink. Things seemed to move fast in Manhattan. "Oh and don't tell anybody," he whispers, "but I like to sing too." He says and Kurt giggles.

Carole and Burt smile at each other because they know it's going well. The plates arrive and their supper is served. They all talk about life and social matters. Carole talks about her sister and Burt talks about his brothers. Kurt and Finn kept whispering to each other; trying to know more about one another. Finn was a charming young man. He was a man's man but he was also very sweet. Sure, he didn't know anything about fashion, but he was still a good guy. However, Finn just wasn't what he wanted in a husband but he didn't let that spoil the thought.

Finn would make an excellent husband. He would make sure there was food for the both of them and hold down most of the bills. Finn was the perfect gentlemen but Kurt just didn't see him like that. Finn was more like a best friend. But it was better to marry your best friend than it was to do a complete stranger. So Kurt just decided that this marriage would have to do. If not for himself, but for the better of his families company and his social status. He could not live the poor life. That life just wasn't an option for Kurt.

Finn turned to Kurt and whispered so that their parents couldn't hear. "Hey do you want to have dinner this Saturday. I know it's kind of short notice but I think we hit off quite well and I want to know more about you." Finn said. He gave a sideways smile that could make any girl quiver.

"Sure, why not? Sounds like a great idea." Kurt said. It would be a perfect way to get to know him on a personal level and at least be comfortable with the idea of marrying him. Finn smiled wide and nodded with enthusiasm. Soon the dinner was over and Finn decided he wanted to pay for everyone and he did.

They all left to the front of the restaurant and said their goodbyes. Kurt gave Finn a peck on the cheek and walked with his father to their Cadillac and got in. They drove home and the silence was comfortable. His father finally spoke.

"That went well, huh?" He said. Kurt smiled.

"As well to be expected."

A/N: I hope you liked this first chapter. I promise there will be Puck/Kurt don't worry. I love that pairing to death. This is just an idea that I got and it developed a mind of its own. Hope you'll stay for future chapters.
