Been a while, right? Well HELLO! I've missed writing (or at least, uploading stories to the site), but I wrote this earlier today and decided to post it. It's just a drabble, but I hope you enjoy it :) I've missed you guys! Also, thanks to Lilybirds for giving me the suggestion of Ron Weasley! You should definitely check out her fics, they are amazingly better than mine!
Kurt was watching an old episode of Project Runway when it happened:
"Kurt?" The older boy heard Finn shouting through the bathroom door upstairs, his voice panicked and slightly higher than normal. Kurt jumped up from the couch immediately, almost throwing the remote onto the floor as he left the room, running up the stairs as fast as possible. Multiple theories ran through his head by the time he arrived at the locked door: Finn had accidentally hit his head on the sink or trapped his foot in the shower door (again) or slammed his hand in the window. It turned out, however, to be none of those things.
"What's wrong?" He called, trying to open the door which wouldn't budge. There was a few seconds of silence from his brother's end of the door before he got the tentative reply of: "you can't laugh."
Kurt frowned, unsure what to make of that. He hadn't laughed the time Finn had almost burnt the house down by forgetting about the toast he'd put in the toaster (though, admittedly, he'd been angry because he'd had to cancel a date with Blaine because of it), he hadn't laughed the time Finn accidentally locked himself out of the house and he hadn't laughed when Finn had believed for three years that 'Je suis une tête merde.' meant 'hello, my name is Finn' in French. So whatever had happened must be pretty hilarious if Finn was cautioning him against making fun of him because of it.
"I won't." Kurt finally settled on. "Now open the door so I can see what you've done this time."
Finn made a noise of protest as Kurt heard him move towards the door.
"Remember, you promised!" Finn called, before slowly opening the door.
Kurt stared. A few seconds went by in which Finn shifted around awkwardly and Kurt simply gaped at his giant of a step brother. Finally, after at least a minute, Kurt finally spoke:
"What," he said slowly, shaking his head in disbelief "did you do to your hair?"
Finn's hair had turned blue. It was also sticking up all over the place at odd angles – rather like he'd walked backwards through a bright blue bush and then decided to stay outside in a hurricane. Kurt wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry, but from the look of absolute panic on his brother's face he simply shook his head and waited for an answer.
Finn blushed – which clashed horribly with his hair. "I was talking to Rachel the other day and she said something about liking boys who weren't scared to try out new things and I think she was talking about me practising to be Jewish or something but I thought maybe I could change my hair instead and …." Finn trailed off and gestured at his hair, a look of utter hopelessness on his face.
"And you decided to dye your hair blue?" Kurt finished for him, his tone of voice one of disbelief.
"I didn't want it to go blue!" Finn cried, throwing his hands in the air. "I wanted it to go like … like dark red or something. Ron Weasley in the last Harry Potter movie, you know?"
"You wanted to dye your hair to look like a Weasley?" Kurt questioned, walking into the bathroom and over to the sink which was now the exact shade of Finn's hair. He sighed.
"No! Not like ginger! Just like … dark red!" Finn protested, following Kurt to the sink and wincing at his reflection in the mirror.
"And more importantly," Kurt continued, ignoring Finn completely "you tried to dye your hair yourself? You can't even choose shampoo correctly!"
Finn pouted. "All shampoo is the same!"
Kurt shook his head, not even bothering to correct his brother even though he was clearly very, very wrong. Instead he picked up the bottle of hair dye that Finn had obviously used - it was stained blue around the lid. "Oh thank God," he muttered. "At least you picked wash out – you and your hair will be fine."
Finn almost collapsed with relief. "Thank you! So I just need to like … have a shower?"
Kurt rolled his eyes. "That's it. Have fun."
Finn almost ran at the shower as Kurt walked out, forgetting he was still fully dressed.
Kurt closed the door behind him with a laugh.
When Burt got home and asked why Finn's hair looked a little different, Finn and Kurt shared a glance before shrugging.
"Must be the light."
Thanks for reading! I just liked the image of a Finn with blue hair... xD Oh, Finn. The title of this story comes from a great song by the Postal Service which you should definitely listen to!
I'll be uploading various Glee drabbles to this story, so watch out for them (and if you want to, please do put this on alert!). If you have time, please review - thank you! :)
