Hi everybody !
I hope that this story will please you. It's based on this prompt at glee_fluff_meme : AU. Kurt is Finn's six-year-old stepbrother. He worships Finn, Finn adores him. Rachel also adores him, and basically declares herself his long-lost big sister. The two of them are his strongest support network over the years as he grows up, faces prejudice, comes to terms with himself, and becomes a star; even as they fight, cheat, break up and grow apart from each other, they'll both always be there for Kurt.
I'm sorry for all the mistakes but English isn't my first language.

Like every day, Rachel met his boyfriend at the parking of the school with a big smile on her face, before going to their locker in order to take the books they need for the day. However, today, she could see his boyfriend was very tired. He had bags under his eyes and often yawned. His eyes were half-closed and his feet seemed to have difficulties to raise in order to walk. She started to worry.
« Hi Finn. Are you ok ? You seem so tired. » The very tall teen smiled tiredly.
« Just a bad night, » he answered. Rachel noticed he wanted to say another thing but stopped before. She frowned and went to ask more about that but Finn changed the subject of their conversation.
Some minutes later, they went in front of Rachel's locker. The latter had noticed while they talked, Finn seemed to be absent-minded, as if something else preoccuped him.
« Sorry, Rach, but I have to go. Can you meet me at the choir room at the lunch ? » The brunet frowned.
« Of course. » Finn smiled and kissed her before leaving. She watched him, worried, but she couldn't think more about that as the bell rang.
At the lunch, as her boyfriend had asked her, she went to the choir room and saw he already was here. When the latter saw her, he smiled and stood from the chair.
« Hi ! » He greeted her. She answered back before kissing him. « So I have to tell you. Something very important, » Finn said seriously when they were settled. Rachel opened her eyes wide. She really didn't like when his boyfriend said these words (or even when it's other people who said them) because the « something very important » could be anything.
« Oh my god, you don't love me anymore and so you want to break up with me ! » She exclaimed, her inner diva starting to overreact.
« What ? No ! No, Rachel, I still love you. In fact, it's because I love you that I want to tell you that. Almost nobody knows about this thing. »
« I'm sorry, Finn. Go ahead, I listen to you. »
« I have a little brother. »
« What ? » Rachel exclaimed, frowning. She wasn't sure to have hear well. « You have a little brother ? »
« Yes. Well he's my stepbrother but he's like my baby brother. His name is Kurt and he's six, » Finn said smiling. « He's very cute and adorable. » Rachel smiled, even if she was surprised by this information. She could see his boyfriend really loved his little brother. « And I want you meet him. I'm sure you'll love him. He's exactly like you. I mean, not physically but he really loves these musicals, just like you. »
« I'll be so glad to meet him, Finn, » Rachel said, smiling.
« Really ? »
« Yes. You're my boyfriend and he's your little brother, so it's normal I want to meet him. Besides, if he really loves musicals, then I want to meet him. » Finn smiled, happy to see his girlfriend agrees to meet one of the people who are important in his life.
« Thanks, Rach. I love you. »
« I love you too, » the small girl answered.
Some days later, Rachel and Finn were in the latter's car. They just got out of the school and wanted to spend the rest of the day together.
« So I wondered if you wanted to watch a musical with me. We then can choose a song to sing before the Glee Club. »
« I'd love, Rachel, but I thought we can do something else. »
« What thing ? » Finn smiled, knowing his idea would satisfy his girlfriend.
« Maybe meeting my brother ? » Rachel looked at him, eyes wide.
« Really ? I can finally see him for the first time ? » The jock laughed.
« Yeah. I'm sorry to make you wait for that, but Kurt was sick the day where I told you about him. » Rachel nodded to show that she understood, then realized something.
« That's why you hadn't sleep too much, had you ? »
« Yeah. It was a bad night for him. He was very sick. » Rachel frowned. Even if she didn't know Kurt yet, knowing he was sick made her sad. Finn noticed her expression and smiled. « Don't worry, he's fine now. That's why I take you at home to meet him. »
Rachel smiled, glad to hear that. She couldn't wait to meet the little boy that Finn adored. Eventually, they arrived at Finn's home. Rachel became more and more impatient. Finn could see that and smiled. He took her hand in his and walked at the door.
« So are you ready ? » The small girl smiled and nodded enthusiastically. Finn opened the door and they got in. « Hi it's me. » Rachel suddenly jumped when a high-pitched cry resounded immediately after.
« FINN ! »
Rachel just saw a blurry thing to come towards them before hearing Finn laugh. She turned around to look at him and saw that the thing clutched Finn's legs. Then she realized this thing was a little boy who came barely above Finn's knees. He had chestnut hair and wore an interesting outfit : grey pants, white shirt, black suspenders and a bowtie.
« Hi Kurt, » Finn said, smiling. He bent down and took his brother in his arms. « How was your day at the school ? » The little boy smiled.
« Fine but I missed you. » It was Finn's turn to smile.
« I missed you too. Kurt, I'd like to introduce you to my girlfriend, Rachel. » Kurt turned his head to see Rachel. The latter smiled when she met his green blue eyes.
« Hi, Kurt. I'm Rachel Berry. I'm happy to meet you. » The little boy stared at the girl for a long moment before speaking.
« Hi. Do you love my brother ? » The question could seem innocent but Rachel could see the little boy was very serious. And somewhere she knew it was a test for her, that Kurt will react according to her answer.
« Yes, Kurt, I do love your brother, » she honestly replied before looking at Finn and smiling. The younger seemed to accept the answer as he smiled at Rachel before looking at his brother.
« Can you play with me ? Mommy's busy and Daddy's at the garage. »
« Of course, kiddo. » Finn looked at Rachel who smiled. « Can Rachel join us ? I swear she's nice. » Kurt nodded. His brother thanked him before putting him down. The energetic boy then took the two teenagers' hands and pulled them towards the living-room.
They spent the next hours playing together and having fun. Finally, Kurt was tired and fell asleep on Finn's lap. The latter put his arms around the little body and raised his head to see his girlfriend looking at them, smiling.
« What ? » he asked, confused.
« Nothing. You just are so cute together. I have never seen you like that. » Finn smiled and lowered his head to watch his brother sleeping. Rachel could see it was an affectionate look. A look that Finn usually had only for Rachel.
That didn't bother the girl, contrary to what one might think. Indeed, while they had played with the little boy, Rachel had quickly noticed the boy was adorable and lovely and she had started to adore him.
« He likes you, » Finn suddenly said. Rachel got out of her thoughts and looked at her boyfriend confused. « I mean he doesn't usually like new people, but I could see while we were playing that he really likes you. He let you hold him when I went to see my mom and when I came back, he laughed with you. »
« Maybe it's because I'm your girlfriend ? » Rachel suggested, smiling. She didn't say that but she was happy to hear her boyfriend's little brother liked her. Maybe it was because she wanted to be accepted by one of the most important persons in Finn's life.
« No, I don't think, because he had never liked Quinn. » Learning that pleased her. It wasn't often that she heard somebody liked her rather than the beautiful cheerleader. Even if this somebody was a six-year-old boy.
Finn was about telling something when Carole came. Her gaze fell on her two children and Rachel and she smiled.
« Hi Rachel. I see you met Kurt. » Rachel smiled (something that she had done a lot of this afternoon).
« Hi Carole. Yeah and I'm happy to meet him. He's so adorable. » Carole smiled again, happy to see her older son's girlfriend had accepted her younger one.
« I'm glad to hear that. Do you want to stay for dinner ? » Rachel looked at her watch and realized what time it was.
« I'd love to. I just have to call my dads to ask them the permission. » Carole smiled and left. Rachel stood up from the floor and went to take her phone from her coat. Finn watched her calling his dads. When she ended the call, he spoke.
« So ? »
« It's ok. » Finn smiled, happy to spend the dinner with his girlfriend.
« Good. »
The rest of the evening went by well. The Hummels and Rachel spent a good dinner, having fun. After finishing to eat and cleaning the table, they went to the living-room to talk. Eventually, it was bed time for Kurt. Finn offered to take his little brother at his bedroom. Rachel followed him, wanting to see her boyfriend to take care of the little boy.
Once again, she was surprised to see the way that Finn took care of Kurt. He was so considerate and caring. For somebody who was the quarterback of the football team, he was gentle with the little boy. And apparently he was used to help Kurt to go to the bed.
After singing, Finn bent over to kiss Kurt's forehead.
« Good night, kiddo. »
He was about to stand up when Kurt caught his hand and tugged at it. Finn understood and lowered to listen to his brother. From where she was, Rachel didn't understand what Kurt said, but she knew it was something good from Finn's smile. She raised one eyebrow when she met his eyes.
« Rach', apparently my brother doesn't want to sleep before you tell him good bye. » Now, she understood Finn's look. It was the I-told-you-he-loves-you look. « So, do you want to come to do that ? » She smiled.
« Of course. » She moved closer of the bed and sat down next to Kurt. « I'm happy to know you, Kurt. I hope we could meet again soon. »
« Me too, 'Chel, » Kurt answered smiling. The brunette also smiled when she heard the nickname Kurt had chosen for her. She kissed him on the cheek.
« Bye, Kurt. »
« Bye. » Rachel stood and followed Finn out of the room. « I have to go, my dads wait for me at home. »
« 'Kay. Let me tell my parents I'll go with you and we can go. » They went to see Burt and Carole who still were in the living-room and told them Rachel had to go. After saying good bye, they left the house. They didn't take the car, wanting to walk and spend a moment together. « So what do you think about Kurt ? »
« He's special but in a good way. I mean, he's not like any other boys that I've met in my life. » Finn smiled.
« Yeah. For his third birthday, all he had wanted was sensible heels. And, when you know him better, you'll learn he's very careful with his clothes and can become very very angry if you're not careful with them. » Rachel smiled, amused by what she just heard.
They continued to talk until they were in front of Rachel's house. They stopped before the door and looked at each other.
« Thanks for making me meet your brother. As I told him, I hope I could see him again. »
« I'm happy you like him. And don't worry, he'll probably ask me when you'll come again in order to play with you. » They laughed. « So, I'll better go before my parents start to worry. »
« Okay. I love you. » Finn smiled and kissed Rachel.
« I love you too. Bye. » Rachel watched Finn leave then sighed and got in her home.
