notes; I came up with this idea when I was driving home from class one day. I like it and I'm excited about it. It's going to be all fun and twisty. ;)
Chapter One.
"Excuse me!" A well manicured hand shoot straight up in the air as the owner of it slowly started making her way to the front of the crowd.
"Oh no. She isn't going to, is she?"
In hindsight, there really wasn't a person in the room that shouldn't have seen this coming.
His toothbrush was wet.
Wet.
As in the kind of wet that it usually was after he used it to brush his teeth every morning and night. That only meant one thing; it had been used before he had the chance to use it himself that day.
Of course.
He knew who the culprit was.
Gritting his teeth he bathed the bristles in toothpaste a couple of times before he finally got up the nerve to brush his own teeth with the toothbrush.
This was definitely not going to happen ever again.
"I'm taking you to Walgreens."
Curious eyes that looked a little droopy with sleep turned their attention to the voice that had just announced itself in the kitchen.
"This is the second time you used my toothbrush Finn! What happened to yours? I know there was a fourth toothbrush in the bathroom just a couple of days ago."
Finn's face flushed a twinge of red as his shoulders automatically shrugged in response to the question that was asked of him.
Finn thought Blaine was a really cool dude, a guy's guy even though he liked…guys. He didn't mind having to share the somewhat small apartment with him and Kurt. Blaine kept it sort of sane after all. But sometimes he was weird about the weirdest things and not so weird about some others.
Finn changing the channel while Blaine was watching something? No big deal.
Accidentally breaking a record that Blaine was in love with? Man, that sucks but I'll find another copy somewhere in the city.
Walking in on him while he was taking a shower? Dude, it's not that bad.
But sharing using his toothbrush because Finn sort of lost his even though he wasn't really sure how? Blaine was not cool with. Personal hygiene was always a touchy subject for people it seemed.
Letting out a breath shaky with laughter, Blaine threw down the toothbrush on the counter that landed with a clatter before sitting down on the barstool next to Finn. "Pass me the cereal please." He asked as he took one of the spare bowls that was sitting on the counter.
"You two aren't really going to eat that sugar death trap posing as breakfast are you?"
Finn looked through still slightly sleepy eyes as Blaine kissed Kurt, who had just walked into the kitchen, in greeting for the morning. "Dude, it's a Tuesday. Of course I'm going to eat cereal for breakfast. Otherwise I would starve to death."
Tuesdays were generally a very busy day. For the entire apartment. Mostly it was just classes in the morning, classes in the afternoon, oh and acting classes in the evening for Kurt and –
"Good morning boyfriend!"
A warm pair of arms slid around Finn's shoulders as a set of lips pecked his cheek in greeting. He couldn't help but smile, as he smelt the sweet aroma of perfume that he loved having around him so much, especially at night whenever he went to sleep. Leaning back Finn turned his head around so he'd get an even better greeting kiss from his girlfriend.
"Morning Rach." He said smiling against her lips.
It was a good way to start his morning and one he still hadn't gotten used to even though it had been officially nearly four months since they started living together. He absolutely loved the way he would wake up and look over to his side and see a soft, bed tousled Rachel sleeping quietly beside him in the bed. Sometimes it still took him by surprise so much that he would just lie there and watch her sleep, just so he could make sure it was all really happening to him.
Whenever the two finally pulled away from each other, Finn could hear Kurt and Blaine softly arguing over the choice of cereal that Blaine was now nursing for breakfast.
"Come on babe," Blaine interjected with an amused look on his face. "I honestly don't think a single bowl of cereal for breakfast is going to give me a heart attack just yet."
Reaching a hand over towards the bowl that held the cereal, Rachel quickly snagged up a piece and popped it into her mouth with a grin on her face as she winked at Finn.
"Come on Kurt, we need to hurry up and leave before the mid-morning rush beats us at the bakery." Grabbing her purse off the counter, Rachel took a hold of Kurt's hand before leading him out of the kitchen and towards the front door. "See you two later on! And be sure to call me after you get out of your first class Finn!"
"Well, don't call me whenever you're stuck in the hospital and they need someone to consent to your DNR!" called out Kurt as Rachel kept his grip and pushing him out of the door.
"I love you too Kurt!" answered Blaine with an amused expression before they both heard the door shut.
As Blaine fell back into the seat beside him, Finn felt a warming sensation flow through him as he continued to try to get used to the idea that his was his normal nowadays.
He really didn't mind it.
"My brother is such a nut job." He let out with a laugh.
"Hey now, that is my boyfriend you're talking about there." The response was with a crunch of cereal followed soon after it.
Finn unpacked everything that he had brought from his parents house the very first day they arrived at the apartment.
Everything.
Rachel and his room was a bit of a tight squeeze with both of their things all in one space, especially since there was so much of her stuff. But it gave him a funny feeling that he couldn't describe whenever he would look for his history book only to find that it was buried under Rachel's things.
So what if most of the time it took him an extra ten minutes to find his house keys before he left for class resulting in making him a tad late? Throwing Rachel's pink underwear obscuring the view to the keys wasn't really that terrible of a thing.
Although there was that one time whenever he couldn't find any condom in the bedside drawers and really, there was just not enough time to find file through the entire of everything in their room because when Rachel was determined, she couldn't be stopped. So he had to run over to Kurt and Blaine's room, which thankfully they were both out of the apartment shopping for groceries.
Which was also another thing Blaine was oddly okay with; Finn stealing from his condom stash. Finn on the other hand was absolutely ready to die from embarrassment the next day whenever he and Blaine were sitting the living room watching the OSU game and Blaine kind of mentioned missing a couple of condoms, right after the Buckeyes made a touchdown.
Seriously, did he count those things?
Blaine just chuckled as he watched Finn start squirming around in his seat.
It seemed that Blaine had found out many ways to completely mess around with Finn in just the few months that they had been living together.
After that Finn vowed that he would not again ever lose any more condoms in his room because he did not want another scenario like the one that had just happened, to happen ever again.
"Honestly Finn, you're always losing your stuff! I don't know how you have anything anymore. Why can't you just keep everything nice and orderly like I do with my things?"
A red headband flew across the room and landed on the bed beside where Rachel was currently sitting.
"Maybe because all your nice and orderly things are all on top of my things?" answered Finn as he dug around the foot of the bed for what was probably the fourth time that evening.
Rachel just laughed at her boyfriend before throwing her headband back in his direction where it was met with a nice plop against the side of his head. "Besides, I told you that I thought I saw it underneath the beside drawers."
It was time for the apartment's bi-weekly 'night out on the town'. Of course they went out more then once every two weeks but their 'night on the town' was a special tradition that Rachel and Kurt had invented. It consisted of getting dressed up (which resulted in a few grumbles each time from Finn and Blaine about having to wear a tie) and walking down Theater District and then having dinner.
Finn really didn't mind it; in fact he kind of loved having the time to walk around with Rachel on his arm while she was all dolled up. It made him feel like the luckiest guy in the city, not a hint of the old Finn that he left back in Lima, Ohio was anywhere near.
"Ha! Found it!" Finn sat up as he victoriously held up the shoe that he had been searching around for the last 5 minutes. Turns out that it had been underneath the bedside drawer like Rachel had said.
Obviously.
Scooting beside Rachel, Finn proceeded to put his left shoe on while he looked at his girlfriend. "Hey." He said softly.
He noticed that her face was just a bit shadowed with tiredness that he knew was a result of her week. She looked the same at the end of every week that had been filled with so much, but she wouldn't have had it any other way.
"How was your day?" Finn dropped his hand from his shoe that he'd just finished tying and placed it on top of Rachel's small hands that were clasped together on top of her knees.
Rachel let out a smile as she felt a kiss on her neck. "It was good. Busy." Another kiss on her neck. "But good."
"Awesome." He let out in a breathe before placing his hand on Rachel's cheek and pulling her into a kiss.
This is what he loved most about New York City. Of course he loved the city itself with it's new things that he experienced nearly everyday, he loved getting to hang out with Kurt all the time and finding a new best friend in Blaine.
He loved all of that.
But most of all he loved getting to spend all his time with Rachel. He loved getting the chance to wake up with her in his arms every morning; he loved getting to come home to her. He loved getting to push her into the bed whenever he wanted to. He just loved everything about getting to live with Rachel.
In fact he just loved everything about Rachel. This was his life now and he wouldn't trade it for the wor-
"As happy as I am for you two crazy kids, I can basically hear you two nearly procreating through the door. Now hurry up cause I'm hungry!"
Blaine was seriously weird.
