.::Day 4::.
Finn smiled as he walked down to the kitchen to see Kurt grabbing some cereal. Aw, Finn just thought it was so cute how Kurt prepared breakfast. It was like a graceful swan flailing around.
Just seeing the boy woke up the groggy jock. It was definitely worth waking up at the crack of ten in the morning to see Kurt.
Finn took a deep breath and as he worked to courage to ask Kurt the question. Finn slowly approached Kurt and smiled when the boy looked up.
"Kurt, let's go out on a date." Finn opened his mouth as soon as he had Kurt's attention. Kurt's mouth opened for a second before saying anything.
"Finn... You do know what you just said, right?" Finn's head tilted slightly as he tried to figure out what Kurt was asking.
"Well, yeah, I'm sure, but if it doesn't make sense maybe I should say it some other way."
"Obviously you meant you wanted to hang out some time. Finn, you don't like me in a way that you would ask me out. A date is something you go on when you really like someone."
Now Finn was really confused. Did Kurt mean that Finn didn't like him enough? He was pretty sure he liked Kurt a lot. Why didn't Kurt think that was enough?
"I don't?"
"No, you don't, Finn. You like me in a totally brotherly manner, right?"
"Yeah?" Well, at least half of the time, but the other half Finn liked Kurt in a different way. What did he say if the answer was both then?
"That's right. Now go scamper along while I eat." Kurt led Finn back upstairs.
Once in his room, Finn fell over from exhaustion. Just talking to Kurt made him tired.
Obviously Kurt didn't think Finn like him enough. Finn would definitely have to change that, but how was the question.
The direct approach didn't work, so that mean he would go by it in a not direct manner. Gosh, Finn wasn't even sure what that meant. Not direct? How did someone do that?
Finn quickly scratched that idea because it was just too confusing. Okay, he was back to the direct approach. He had to prove he really liked Kurt though.
Finn thought to himself. Who better to tell him what he should do to get Kurt to like him then Kurt himself?
The boy went back downstairs happy to see Kurt was still there.
"Kurt, I need your help." Kurt looked up and smiled at Finn.
"Finn, you turn the handles for the water to turn on. Do you need me to show you again?"
"What? No! I can do that... Sometimes, but anyways! What do I do to get someone I really like to like me back?"
When he turned to see Kurt he was surprised to see the boy surprised. Did Kurt know who he was talking about?
"Some pretty girl caught your eye? Well, I would just tell her."
"Sort of. The person is very pretty, and I tried that. It didn't work unfortunately. The person doesn't think I like that person enough. I really like the person though."
"Oh, well that girl must not be very smart if she thinks that."
"Actually the person is very smart, to the point of confusing me."
"Hm, I see. Maybe you should just start by getting to know her. I'm sure she'll warm up to you. You are a very sweet boy. Ask her out on a date but just to get to know each other."
"Okay, well do you want to go on a date then, Kurt?"
Kurt looked up giving Finn the most confused look ever, and that just made Finn even more confused.
"Finn, I need you to stop joking around. You already asked me that, and I told you. Dating is something you do with someone you really l-"
Kurt's eyes widened, and Finn couldn't help but wonder why. Maybe he realized he had to breathe. Sometimes Finn forgot too, but then he realized that he didn't even have to think about breathing. Wasn't that just weird?
"Finn, when you said you like me, what did you mean by that?"
"Well, gosh, Kurt, don't you know? It means I want to go on dates, make you smile, make you laugh, hold you hand, and stare in your eyes as I tell you I love y-"
Kurt put a finger up to Finn's lips.
"Shush, I want when someone says those words to be a special time. Not a spur of the moment thing in the middle of the kitchen."
"Uh, what's spur of the moment mean?"
Kurt shook his head, and Finn frowned. That's what people always did whenever Finn asked a perfectly good question. Gosh, he really wondered if they knew something he didn't.
"Finn, you must be confused. You like girls, like Rachel Berry."
This weird look got into Kurt's eyes when he said Rachel's name, but Finn couldn't figure it out. Oh, well, it didn't matter.
"Well, yeah I think Rachel's hot, but I like you Kurt."
"You're kidding me. After all those years of pining after you."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
Finn stared at Kurt for a moment trying to figure the boy out even though Finn knew it was hopeless.
"Just, wait here, Finn. I need a moment to think. I'm going to my room. Don't disturb me. I'll be back in a little bit or more."
.::Kurt, Kurt, Kurty Kurt::.
Kurt was preparing something to eat for breakfast when a tired looking Finn stumbled downstairs. Aw, he's so cute... Wait, I can't think he's cute. Nope, I can't.
Kurt was brought out of his thoughts when Finn had walked up to him. Finn waited a moment and then spoke up.
"Kurt, let's go out on a date." Kurt felt his mouth open, but he couldn't find any words to say. No way Finn was asking him out.
"Finn... You do know what you just said, right?" Finn's head tilted slightly, and Kurt knew that Finn definitely had no idea what he had just asked.
"Well, yeah, I'm sure, but if it doesn't make sense maybe I should say it some other way." Kurt wanted to strangle the boy. Finn needed to understand the affect his words were having on Kurt.
Of course Kurt knew what a date meant, and of course he wanted to, but Finn didn't. He just didn't know that.
"Obviously you meant you wanted to hang out some time. Finn, you don't like me in a way that you would ask me out. A date is something you go on when you really like someone."
As in a girl, Finn. You can't like me because I'm a guy.
Finn looked confused, but Kurt couldn't possibly get why. The concept wasn't hard to understand.
"I don't?"
"No, you don't, Finn. You like me in a totally brotherly manner, right?"
"Yeah?"
A question? Why did it sound like a question? Did that mean Finn wasn't sure about that? No! He was probably just confused. Finn was always confused. Yeah, that's right. That made the most sense.
"That's right. Now go scamper along while I eat." Kurt led Finn back upstairs.
Kurt began to eat, but he couldn't help but think about what Finn had asked. If the boy had been serious, which he wasn't, would Kurt have said yes? Kurt wanted to say no. He wanted to say he didn't like Finn anymore, but Kurt still saw him as a cute jock that came to Kurt's rescue.
Secretly, Kurt wished Finn had been serious. That was a secret though, even to Kurt it was.
Not too long later Finn came back downstairs, and Kurt nearly let out a frustrated scream. Why was he back so soon? Kurt needed time to think, not constantly pestering him.
"Kurt, I need your help." Kurt looked up and smiled at Finn. Ah, that was so Finn like. He probably forgot how to use the water again.
"Finn, you turn the handles for the water to turn on. Do you need me to show you again?"
"What? No! I can do that... Sometimes, but anyways! What do I do to get someone I really like to like me back?"
Wait, oh, Finn figured out what Kurt was trying to tell him. Kurt was a little surprised the boy understood, and he was a little sad. Okay, more like a lot. It was like his heart was being broken all over again.
"Ah, some pretty girl caught your eye? Well, I would just tell her."
It seemed Kurt would have to play the part and help Finn out.
"Sort of. The person is very pretty, and I tried that. It didn't work unfortunately. The person doesn't think I like that person enough. I really like the person though."
Great, the girl was super pretty. She was an idiot to deny Finn though. Kurt wanted to yell at the girl that couldn't see what she had.
"Oh, well that girl must not be very smart if she thinks that."
"Actually the person is very smart, to the point of confusing me."
Kurt really couldn't get anything from that. Everyone was smart enough to confuse Finn. Well except Brittany, but it was more like she was dumb enough to confuse Finn.
"Hm, I see. Maybe you should just start by getting to know her. I'm sure she'll warm up to you. You are a very sweet boy. Ask her out on a date but just to get to know each other."
"Okay, well do you want to go on a date then, Kurt?"
Kurt looked up giving Finn the most confused look ever. Why did the boy insist on asking him out? Was the boy that slow? Kurt needed Finn to stop this. It hurt. Kurt just wanted to scream yes, drag Finn on a date, and finally have a dream, but Kurt knew that would just scare him off.
"Finn, I need you to stop joking around. You already asked me that, and I told you. Dating is something you do with someone you really l-"
Kurt's eyes widened. Wait, Finn had said he really like this person, and Kurt told him to ask him out. Did that mean... No, that wouldn't make sense.
"Finn, when you said you like me, what did you mean by that?"
"Well, gosh, Kurt, don't you know? It means I want to go on dates, make you smile, make you laugh, hold you hand, and stare in your eyes as I tell you I love y-"
Kurt put a finger up to Finn's lips. Finn needed to stop. He couldn't get Kurt's hopes up like that. It was just too much for the teen's heart to handle.
"Shush, I want when someone says those words to be a special time. Not a spur of the moment thing in the middle of the kitchen."
Kurt made that pitiful excuse up. It did sound plausible enough though now that Kurt though about it.
"Uh, what's spur of the moment mean?"
Kurt shook his head. Sometimes that boy needed to get a brain.
"Finn, you must be confused. You like girls, like Rachel Berry."
Yeah, you like girls. You can't like me no matter how great that would be. It made Kurt sad to face that truth. He was also mad that the Berry chick would get Finn's affections.
"Well, yeah I think Rachel's hot, but I like you Kurt."
"You're kidding me. After all those years of pining after you."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
Even after all this time Finn still didn't get it did he. Kurt had loved the boy, but he was sure that Finn was straight with a capital "S" at that time. Now though, well he just didn't know.
"Just, wait here, Finn. I need a moment to think. I'm going to my room. Don't disturb me. I'll be back in a little bit or more."
Kurt walked downstairs slowly and plopped onto his bed. He needed someone to talk. There was always one go to person when he was in situations like this.
Kurt grabbed his phone and called her.
"'Cedes, I need your help!"
"White boy, this better be good. I was shopping with my mom."
"Why did you not invite me? Oh, whatever, that doesn't matter... I think Finn just asked me out."
The was a muffled pause over the phone, and Kurt pulled the phone away from his ear on instinct. He waited and a second and it came. A loud squeal exploded from the phone. The phone came back to his ear, and the conversation continued.
"Okay, what do you mean by, 'you think'?"
"Well, he asked me out, but he seemed confused about it."
"Who cares! Say yes and go out with the boy! You deserve him!"
"What about Puck though..."
"What about that b- Oh, yeah, the kiss."
Kurt sighed. Honestly this was probably the only reason he was conflicted. Kurt still had hopes that Puck was serious about yesterday, because in all honestly, Kurt enjoyed being with the boy. Sure, Puck had terrorized him for his high school years, but Kurt couldn't help but like Puck.
"Yeah, and now I don't know what to do! I mean they're both so sweet."
Kurt sighed. This was just too much for the average high school boy to handle.
"Well, I think you should say yes. I mean it's not like you're exclusive to Puck yet. You guys haven't even gone on a date. Go on a date with both and figure out who you like more."
'Cedes was right, Puck never even went on a date with him. Why shouldn't Kurt give both boys a chance?
"Oh, 'Cedes, that's a brilliant idea! I'm going to go upstairs to accept now. I'll tell you all about it later!"
He hung up and ran upstairs to tell Finn he would go on a date with the boy. He approached the room and knocked on the door. A moment or two later Finn came to the door with a bit of apprehension.
"Finn, I accept. I will go on the date."
Finn immediately lit up, and that just made Kurt smile. Finn's happiness just infected everyone around him.
"Yay! I have the whole evening planned out. Just be ready at seven, okay? Oh, and dress warmly. It's supposed to be cold outside tonight."
Kurt's eyes widened at the implications behind that. If he needed to dress for the weather outside that meant he would have to be outside. That Kurt did not like, but oddly enough he trusted the Finn.
.::Finn, Finn Hudson::.
Finn was trembling in excitement as Kurt accepted his proposition. Tonight had to be perfect.
He went to his closet to get ready, even though it was a just a little bit early. The boy grabbed a pair of jeans that Kurt picked out for him because he figured Kurt would like something he picked out. Then just a stripped white and plus long sleeve shirt for the apparent cold weather tonight. Just in case he also grabbed a jacket if it got really cold.
After getting dressed he called Carole to help him prepare the rest of his planned evening.
Once seven came Finn was utterly ready for his date with Kurt. He knocked on the door to Kurt's room and waited as he heard the boy's footsteps up the stairs.
"Finn! There you are. It's two minutes after seven, I was about to come get you!"
Kurt spoke in a worried tone, and Finn realized he had made Kurt worried.
"Well I'm here now, and I say we should go on our way. "
"Fine fine, but what exactly are we doing?"
Kurt asked the question as they got into the car. Finn simply smirked as he answered Kurt's question.
"Oh, but that's a surprise."
"Finn Hudson, I demand you tell me right now! You know I hate surprises!"
"Why are you smiling then?"
Finn stared at Kurt intently. He really did want to know why.
"Oh, I was just joking. Finn."
He took that answer and started driving towards their destination. Finn had a feeling Kurt would recognize where they were going, but that didn't stop him.
Once they arrive Finn looked over to gauge Kurt's reaction.
"A park? Really? Finn, you must be kidding me."
The jock smiled though. It wasn't really a park really. It was just one gigantic field with a swing set at one end.
Finn had driven his car up by the picnic table and under that huge what-cha-ma-call-it tree thing. Finn honestly did not know what kind of tree it was.
"Well come on m' lady. Dinner shall be served."
Kurt raised his eyebrow as Finn led Kurt out of the car. Finn placed Kurt in front of the car as he ran back to get the supplies out of the trunk. He soon came back with a picnic blanket and a basket.
Finn was about to spread the blanket on the grass when Kurt quickly made a protest.
"Ah, no way in Sam's hell am I sitting on the ground, even with a blanket."
"Sam owns hell? Oh, whatever. What are we going to do then?"
"Car hood, now."
Finn got the message and spread the picnic blanket on the hood of the car. Kurt hoped on and smoothed away all the wrinkles he had made in the process. Finn really didn't get that since it was going to get messed up anyways, but he let the boy do what he wants.
Finn sat down next to Kurt and took out the items in the basket. First he pulled out several battery ran lights that looked like a candle. Apparently his mom didn't trust him with really candles, but lets not go there.
"Fake candles? Now that's romantic in a completely safe and precautionary way."
Finn's smile was genuinely real as Kurt looked up at him, even if he had no idea what the cute little boy had said.
"Wait to you see what I packed for us to eat."
Slowly his hands pulled out the main course. There presented in all it's glory was a sandwhich. Kurt sighed, but Finn knew it was perfect. It was full of all that healthy stuff Kurt always went on about.
He handed one to Kurt as he got his own.
"Finn, I'm only eating this because I'm positive Carole made this. You can't even figure out how to open the bread box."
"Okay, you're right, but hey, they taste good."
Finn held his up awfully close to Kurt, and before the teen could respond Kurt took a bite out of it.
"Hey! You have your own sandwich that you can eat from."
Kurt stuck his tongue out and retreated back as Finn launch for Kurt's sandwich. It was an unsurity to Finn of how it all happened, but somehow Finn ended up looming over on top of Kurt while there's sandwiches fell to the ground.
"Look what you did. Now we don't have any more din-"
Finn paused as he finally took notice of the closeness between Kurt and him.
"Kurt, I wanna kiss you. Can I?"
Kurt's eyes got wide, but Finn's face stayed one of seriousness.
"That isn't something you just ask!"
"Oh, okay."
Finn took that as a no and got up from Kurt to start straitening out the blanket. Not because it bothered him, but he needed something to distract himself.
"Silly, I didn't mean you couldn't."
The boy felt a force tug at his shirt and as he spun around he met Kurt's lips.
Finn froze as Kurt leaned in to kiss him.
At first the kiss was awkward. Their noses bumped, things just wouldn't fit, and it felt all wrong.
Then Finn tilted his head and things seemed to just fall into places.
He had no idea how to describe the feeling that was coursing through his body, but everything just felt right, like there was nothing else to worry about in the world.
Kurt's hands started to roam around, and things got heated too much too soon. Finn was oddly tempted to go farther, but he really couldn't, so he politely pushed Kurt away. The fashionista stared up at Finn.
"I'm sorry, it's just that, I don't want to take this to far on the first date. Plus, I don't think we should do anything else in a public park..."
His eyes jetted around to see if there was anyone else here, and luckily there wasn't.
"You're right... I don't know what took a hold of me. I apologize."
"It's okay."
Finn laughed casually and grabbed the dessert out of the basket. It was an Oreo cream cake that he was proud to say he helped in making.
"Uh, no way. Do you know how bad that must be for you?"
.::Kurt's a Diva::.
When he went in to kiss Finn he had no idea what he was doing. He was absolutely sure he was doing something wrong considering all the nose bumping and head bashing, but it seemed that after just a moment things finally fit together.
While the kiss with Puck had felt like electric coursing through him, with Finn Kurt felt like the sun was literally radiating from inside him. It was like a slow forest fire burning through his body.
Kurt got desperate soon though. Things felt so surreal, and he felt as if he would awake from it at any moment. Soon Kurt started to let his hands wander around so to speak for he was simply desperate to make this right.
The receiving boy wouldn't let it go on, and secretly Kurt was relieved. He worried though. Maybe Finn pushed away because Kurt sucked at this. He looked up into the boy's eyes to find an answer.
"I'm sorry, it's just that, I don't want to take this to far on the first date. Plus, I don't think we should do anything else in a public park..."
Kurt looked around and realized Finn was right. Gosh, he really was an idiot.
"You're right... I don't know what took a hold of me. I apologize for my rather inappropriate actions.."
"It's okay."
Finn laughed casually and grabbed the dessert out of the basket. It was an Oreo cream cake. Kurt stared at it in disbelief.
"Uh, no way. Do you know how bad that must be for you?"
The rest of the date passed by rather casually, and they went home after it got dark. Before Kurt when back down to his room he stole last kiss from Finn and giggled as he trotted downstairs.
Things in Kurt's life were finally looking up.
.::Chapter End::.
A/N: Agh, what do you think? I have the utmost feeling that I sucked at writing Finn's character, but hey, I hope I did well. Um, review please. It's uber encouraging, and I would like to thank everyone that reviewed!
