Many things happen on a Month (Glee)
'New Job' (Finn/Kurt)
"Finn? Is that you?" asked Kurt, looking a bit surprised of what his eyes were seeing at those moments.
"Well… Yeah, it is me." The taller boy's voice sounded a bit diffuse. Finn approached Kurt and sat in the couch next to him. "Is it everything right?" he asked after noticing that Kurt's face was still showing shock.
"Yes, Finn; everything is fine." Kurt stood up and looked straight in what it seemed Finn's head to be located before continuing. "But… There is any particular reason to you be wearing a bear costume?"
"Oh, you mean this?" Finn asked as he was staring at his arms before using them to remove the bear head and finally get some air. "Yeah; I have got a new job on the Mall, entertaining kids on a toy shop. It was Rachel's idea; actually, she was the one who persuaded me of getting a job," he explained while he was using his furry arm to dry off the sweat of his forehead. "She said me that I was perfect the job because she thinks I look like a bear for her!" he ended, bursting out in laughs.
"A bear?" Kurt stared at Finn's face; all reddish and sweaty because of the damn bear costume. It remembered him those days when they had to practice together on football, when Finn was in similar conditions due to the extreme physical effort. Kurt really hated to be sweaty for something that was not strictly artistically-related, like a performance or just choreography, but that does not meant that the boy he had a serious crush on could not being in a similar situation; actually, seeing the taller boy's sweaty torso it was more than a pleasure for Kurt. Almost erotic in fact, as long as Finn with his innocence and his towel at the waist due to his worries about some guy seeing his intimate parts kept Kurt safe about being discovered staring at him and drooling. It was good to see him like that the few weeks he was part of the team.
And yes; even when he was in the process of assuming that Finn, at least when both still being on high school, does not like him, there was no law that can forbids him of still seeing him with a look of lust and mysticism. At the end, if Finn was not attracted to him it does not meant that he was uncomfortable with he being the target of the only gay guy on the place… Now that his discomfort was obvious for everyone, including Kurt, it was just a detail.
"Kurt… Are you there, dude?" The aforementioned boy shook his head and cleared his mind to get focused in the now obviously awkward Finn, pushed away at the sofa's corner and with his cheeks blushed now not just because of the costume. "Please… Tell me please that you are not thinking like Rachel about the bear thing." It was everything that came out from Finn's mouth before swallowing his saliva while he was awaiting Kurt's response.
The truth was that, among all the possible "cute" nicknames that Kurt knew that Rachel could give to him, and also bearing in mind her embarrassing lack of fashion sense, he had to admit that calling Finn a "bear" it was just the perfect one. Finn was pretty tall, a lot more than most of his classmates at least. He also, even when he was one of the jocks, he did not had super marked abs like Puck or Mike, and he was a slim guy. He was also pretty friendly, and specially very tender and lovely with all the girls he had dated before, and even when some other he was not. The only thing that ruined the bear profile was the fact that he did not have much body hair, but that was better for Kurt; he liked the idea of a hairless bear.
Kurt returned to reality once again when Finn waved his hand in front oh him in order to get his attention and being answered about the freaking bear stuff for once at all. Kurt noticed the taller guy's awkwardness in his eyes; why he should stress him more by saying him that he was actually like a hot, cute bear? He just showed a warm smile in order to relax Finn before giving him an answer that could convince him.
"No, Finn, you are not," he started, softly. "Do not worry; I just found funny to know that Rachel Berry's disastrous taste is not only related to how she dress." Both boys were stood up when Kurt placed one of his warm, delicate hands on Finn's shoulder, being careful to show him that it was just with friendly intentions. "Now please do me and all the little kids that will be playing with you tomorrow and take that horrible bear costume before your stench impregnates the fabrics," he concluded, making a grossed out gesture, just for adding a dramatic effect like the diva he was.
"I understand that," Finn answered with a smile before heading to the bathroom. Kurt smiled to himself, it was better like that. With Finn not knowing that the nickname was perfect for him… At least not when it was still coming from Rachel's mouth.
But at least for now it was fine. Sooner or later, Finn was going to realize that what he really needs it is in front of him. It was just about waiting a bit more, and Kurt was pretty sure that he was making that moment come closer each time he makes Finn discovering a creepy thing about Rachel.
"Hey, Kurt! I cannot reach the damn suit's zip! Can you please help me with that?"
He was totally right; he was actually making this thing going faster and faster.
Hope you liked the first one-shot of this month! That's right! You will have so many stories this month from Talo as you don't have idea!
You will have a friendship story, like this one, and after that a more romantic and smoking hot one.
So next time we will have... "Changing Rules" with Finn and Puck.
I have nothing more to say, except that sorry for not having a beta, so if you are one and like my job, please let me know if you want to check my stories before uploading. And also don't forget that Glee is not mine.
Talo returns to his cave.
