Characters: Kurt Hummel, Noah Puckerman, Finn Hudson.
A/N: These little oneshots are a sort of prequel to my story "Frozen". The first ones are just about Puck, Kurt and Finn as kids but they will keep going until Finn and Kurt are together and then they will be about how Kurt and Puck got together in New York and a little bit of their life with Rachel. They were all born in 1994 like on the show, so in this one that takes place in 2001 they are seven.
2001
The sun was shining brightly the first time Finn met Kurt. It was summer and Carole made him go to the park so he could meet with Puck, a friend from the soccer team.
When Finn got to the monkey bars where Puck was supposed to be waiting, he saw another boy there with his friend. The kid's hair was perfectly styled and he wore a bow tie over a pale blue shirt and jeans that emphasized his bony legs. The first thought that crossed Finn's mind was that the boy looked pretty in a way he never thought a boy could.
Before Finn had the time to wonder whether it was okay to find another boy pretty or not, Puck called Finn's name while waving his arms animatedly to catch his attention.
"Finn! Finn!" Puck jumped down from the monkey bars landing on his feet a bit clumsily.
"Hey Puck." Finn smiled in greeting but he found it hard to stop his eyes from diverting to the pretty kid who was staring at him from where he was perched on the monkey bars.
When Puck noticed Finn staring at his friend he smiled brightly and said, "Come down, Kurt!"
Kurt swung his legs a few times before jumping down landing without the clumsiness that had followed Puck in that same movement. As soon as he was on the ground, Puck slid his arm around his shoulders and looked at Finn as if he were showing the fastest car of his collection or the newest video game. "This annoying kid is Kurt, my best friend."
Kurt rolled his eyes and pushed Puck away before swiping his bangs back into place. "You're so rude, Noah," Kurt told him and Finn still didn't know Puck really well but he knew him enough to know that if another kid called him Noah or rude, he would have gotten punched.
"I'm Kurt Hummel."
Finn looked between the extended hand and Kurt's bright blue eyes and thought that he could feel the sunlight being warmer against his skin making his blond bangs stick to his forehead. His hand was sweaty when he shook Kurt's but he got a smile in return and an offer to play with him against Puck and Finn felt really happy like when his mother bought him Lucky Charms.
After that afternoon it became routine for them to meet at the park every weekend while Carole hang out with Mrs. Puckerman and Mrs. Hummel. Finn thought that he couldn't have better friends than Puck and Kurt and he even got a father out of it, or as close to a father as he could get, because once they finished their homework, Mr. Hummel let them help fix cars in his garage. He also learned that Puck was the only one that was allowed to ruffle Kurt's hair while they played but he was the one who spent every Monday with Kurt to teach him how to play the drums. At seven, Finn was sure that he was the luckiest kid on the planet.
