"Okay Kurt, you ready for your first big day of kindergarten?" his mother smiled tearfully. Kurt looked up at his mom with wide eyes, "Mommy, don't cry, I'll stay home if you want me to." She wiped away some tears and looked at Kurt proudly, "No, I want you to go to school! I'm just so happy my little Kurt's going to be a big boy." Kurt looked at her nervously, "Do you think the other kids will like me?" he asked quietly. Kurt's mom smiled and picked up her son, hugging him, "Everyone will love you baby. You're the greatest little boy in the world." She put him down gently and kissed his for head sweetly, "Now show me a smile." Kurt grinned widely up at her. She smiled back, "Beautiful," she sighed, "Well, I have to go to work now sweetheart. I'll see you later." Kurt waved at she left, "Bye, Mommy!"
He heard a snort behind him and turned around to find a boy a little bigger than him and with a mowhawk laughing. "What's so funny?" Kurt asked with a smile. "You call your mom 'Mommy'?" the boy snickered, "I call my mom by her first name." Kurt looked at him curiously, "Oh…what's your name?" The boy straightened up, "I'm Puck." Kurt giggled, "That's a funny name." Puck looked at him a little angrily, "Well my real name is Noah but it sounds wimpy. What's yours?" "Kurt," he answered proudly. "You look like a girl," Puck laughed, "And you sound like one too." Kurt frowned, "Hey!" Puck began to tease him and Kurt ran to the play structure in the middle of the classroom, hugging his knees to his chest and staring at the ground, crying quietly.
"Leave him alone!" Kurt heard and he peeked out the window of the mini house, watching Puck fall to the ground. "Ow!" Puck yelled, "Fine!" Kurt heard a knock at the play structure's door and looked at it nervously, "Come in." A tall boy with darkish hair opened the door and walked in, sitting next to Kurt, "Hi!" Kurt looked at him curiously, "Hi." The boy grinned, "I'm Finn." Kurt felt a small fluttering in his chest when Finn smiled and looked at him happily, "I'm Kurt." Finn threw his arm around Kurt, "Noah's a really big bully. Don't worry about him. I got your back!" Kurt grinned and wiped away his tears, "Thank you Finn," he said quietly.
The two got out of the playhouse and Kurt stuck his tongue out at Puck, who glared at him and Finn. "Hey!" Finn said suddenly, "Do you wanna be best friends?" Kurt smiled, "Yeah! Do we have to handshake or something?" Finn shrugged, "I dunno…we hug a lot in our family." "We do too," Kurt said. "Okay!" Finn grinned and tackled Kurt to the ground, "Hi best friend!" Kurt laughed and hugged back, "Ow! Hi…you're really tall." Finn stood up, "Well… my mommy thinks I'm going to be kinda short when I get older because I'm tall now, but I hope I'm 12 feet tall!" Kurt giggled.
The boys played side by side the rest of the day and waited patiently for their moms to come get them at the end of the day. "I like you Kurt!" Finn grinned at him. "I like you too," Kurt smiled. They sat in silence for a while, watching the other kids scream and run around. "Hey you wanna play a game?" Finn asked. "Sure," said Kurt, "What is it?" "It's a game where you do the same thing as the other person," Finn explained. "Oh, okay," Kurt smiled. Finn moved his hand quickly and Kurt tried to follow what he was doing, "This is harrrdd…" he giggled.
They played for a while and Kurt was getting used to the game. Finn kicked his leg out and Kurt would be right there doing it with him. Finn pursed his lips and Kurt did the same, stumbling back a little in surprise as the taller boy bumped his lips against Kurt's. "What was that?" he asked Finn, worried. "Sorry…I tripped," Finn said quietly. "It's okay," Kurt mumbled and blushed He felt a pair of arms wrap around him from behind, "MOMMY!" He grinned and hugged her tightly, "I missed you so so so much." She put him down and he motioned to Finn, "This is Finn. He's my bestest friend." Kurt's mom smiled widely, "Well it's very nice to meet you Finn!" The taller boy smiled and his eyes widened, "MOMMY!" he had the same reaction as Kurt and jumped into his mother's arms. He introduced Kurt and after the mothers worked out play dates it was time to leave. "Bye Kurt," Finn smiled, "You're awesome. I wish we were brothers so we could play all the time." Kurt grinned, "Me too. Maybe we can be brothers when we grow up!" "Yeah!" Finn smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow!" Finn high fived him and the two left happily.
