Finding Family

"So I guess Noah was right." Kurt smirks into the webcam.

Jake rolls his eyes at his newest friend. "That doesn't mean anything."

"You joined the glee club . . . as he guessed." Kurt chuckles. "I'm pretty sure that that means something."

Jake rolls his eyes again. "Fine, but don't tell him."

Kurt takes a quick drink before chuckling. "Oh I will."

"Don't" Jake's eyes narrow.

"More power to the big brother." Kurt smiles deviously.

It's Jake's turn to roll his eyes. "You're a terrible friend."

Kurt chuckles and rolls over on his chest. "So . . . tell me more about this Marley. The one that you totally don't want to date." Kurt adds on sarcastically.

Jake chuckles nervously and sits back on his bed. "Umm . . . well she's really pretty. I actually have a picture of her."

Kurt's raised eyebrows are ignored by the boy as he digs his phone out of his pocket. Kurt watches with an amused smile as Jake scrolls through his phone.

"Here she is." Jake says as he turns his phone to the webcam.

Kurt is presented with a picture of the young brunette. "I already know what she looks like from the audtions." Kurt comments with a soft smile. "But she's pretty."

"I know right. And she has an amazing voice." Jake adds with a wide smile.

Kurt bites his lip before deciding on his choice of words. "So . . . Marley, now why isn't she your girlfriend?"

Jake shrugs. "We'd never work out."

"Why?" Kurt asks. "No one thought your brother and I would."

"You guys are different though." Jake says as if it explains everything."

"Oh yeah." Kurt chuckles softly. "How so?"

"Because Marley and I would never work." Jake repeats. "She's . . . she's this great girl that sees the best in people, past everything. And here I am . . . this boy that comes into her life when she doesn't need him."

"That's not much of a reason." Kurt smiles at some memories. "What else you got?"

"Well . . . I can't date her." Jake says with a sad smile. "I have my rep . . . and she's this . . . nobody in school." Jake hates to say it. "Like no one likes her or sees how great she is."

Kurt smiles softly at the boy. "I know what you mean."

"No you don't." Jake argues.

"Wanna bet?" Kurt smiles. "Your brother . . . high school jock and ladies man. Me . . . Kurt Hummel . . . out and proud gay fashionista. When we first started dating, Noah was so worried about protecting his rep that we almost didn't work. But then he got over it. He realized that for once . . . that something other than his rep might be worth it." Kurt smiles at the memory. "He got me."

Jake slowly smiles at the inspirational story. "So what do I do?"

"Well, your girlfriend." Kurt starts.

"Kitty." Jake supplies her name.

Kurt cringes his nose at the terrible name. "Yes . . . Kitty. You have to decide if she'll be the one for you in the long run. Otherwise, dump her and try for this Marley."

"So . . . just dump her." Jake guesses.

"No." Kurt says suddenly. "Find something . . . a reason to break up. Otherwise she'll just think that you broke up with her to be with another girl. That's a big no no."

Jake slowly nods and sighs. "Alright. I'll give it a try.

"Good. Let me know-" Kurt's cut off by the sound of his Skype going off. "I gotta go. You're brother is calling. I expect updates on everything." Kurt points sternly at the webcam.

"Yes sir." Jake mock salutes before clicking off of Skype.

Kurt rolls his eyes at the boy that reminds him of his own boyfriend those many years ago. Kurt clicks on the waiting call and smiles when his boyfriend appears.

"Hey babe." Puck says into the cam.

"Hey." Kurt smiles. "I'm really-"

"Don't Kurt." Puck cuts him off. "It's my own fault."

Kurt chuckles. "True. Next time stay away from her sheet music and she won't kick you out."

Puck groans. "I can't believe she did that. She should know that I can't keep spending money on hotel rooms."

Kurt smiles. "Well I guess she's lucky that she wasn't here for your welcome to New York gift."

Puck smirks into the camera. "And what a gift it was." He suddenly frowns. "How long do you think I'd get kicked out of the apartment if she did catch us?"

"Eternity." Kurt rolls his eyes. "And I'd never hear the end of it. We'd have to get her a new boyfriend to distract her."

Puck's eyes soften. "Still haven't heard from Finn?"

"Nope." Kurt answers with a sigh. "I was able to keep her busy for a little while, but she still thinks about him. I can tell."

"What'd you do?" Puck asks with genuine curiosity. "The only thing I can think of is introducing her to that Streisand chick."

Kurt rolls his eyes at his boyfriends lack of knowledge. "I didn't introduce her to anybody, well . . . except for my editor."

"Why your editor?" Puck asks as he rolls over on his chest to look into the webcam like Kurt.

"Well I decided to give Rachel a make-over, you know . . . to help her feel good like when I get one." Puck gives Kurt a goofy grin and nods. "Well I took her to work with me and my editor helped us pick out new clothes for her."

"Well that's awfully nice of her." Puck says with raised eyebrows.

"It is." Kurt nods in agreement.

"So when do I get to see Rachel?" Puck asks. "I want to see if it's possible for that Jew to get hotter."

Kurt raises an eyebrow. "You can see her when you return tomorrow. Or not if I kick you out."

"You wouldn't do that to me." Puck says, a little bit unsure. It doesn't help that Kurt raises an eyebrow, daring the boy to push him. "Fine." Puck sighs. "I'll be good."

Kurt chuckles, all seriousness gone. "I'll send you the video."

"Video?" Puck sounds confused.

"Yeah. We filmed while we helped Rachel." Kurt explains.

"My my babe . . . you've been awfully busy since I've been gone." Puck teases.

"Got to do something to fill my time." Kurt simply says.

"You know you could have stayed in the hotel with me." Puck smirks. "Just for one night."

"I couldn't anyways." Kurt tells his boyfriend. "I promised Jake I'd talk with him tonight."

"Really?" Puck is surprised. "Seems like you to are getting along."

"We are." Kurt smiles. "I've been helping him with girl problems."

"Wow." Puck's eyebrows shoot up. "How's that going?"

"Well . . ." Kurt smirks slowly. "Considering how much he's like you, it seems to be a repeat of our time back in high school."

Puck's eyes soften at the memories. "You know I'm still-"

"Sorry about high school, I know." Kurt smiles at his boyfriend. "And I forgive you."

Puck accepts the smile before grinning like a madman. "When is Rachel's next class?"

"Why?" Kurt asks slowly with narrowed eyes.

"Because I want to show you how sorry I am." Puck mock pouts.

Kurt's eyes lock on those lips. "Really . . . do tell."

Ta da. So this is set during the make-over, but Kurt is skyping with Jake and Puck instead of Blaine. Now the next episode will be hard because it's entitled, The Break Up. And since there's no Blaine in this story, it'll be hard to work around. I just watched the episode and I'm figuring out how to write it. I still need to watch the episode after the hiatus before I publish. That way I'll know how to direct the story. So sorry, but there will be a wait for this story. So if you want to, my other stories are available during the time.
So let me know what you think with a nice long review.
