A/N: Sorry about the little cliffhanger last time. It will be resolved this chapter! Thanks for all the love.
What Do You Suppose Would Happen?
Chapter Seven
Finn walked slowly down the hall on his way to class. He wasn't in a hurry to get back to PE. He would just tell coach that he got lost. There were perks to being thought of as clueless.
As he walked, he thought back to his boyfriend. He was so happy with Kurt. He never felt that way when he was with Quinn or Rachel. Quinn didn't really seem to even like him that much. Rachel did seem to like him but it was more the thought of him. Wow, that was kinda deep… Kurt must be rubbing off on him.
He was frustrated that they couldn't really be together but it was overshadowed by the happiness he felt. Maybe that was because he had just got an awesome hug from the other boy.
And so his mind was elsewhere when someone grabbed him and slammed him into the currently unoccupied Cheerio's copier room.
He looked down in surprise at the girl in front of him. Wow! She was really strong. Who would have thought?
"Mercedes, hey," he said.
"Don't Mercedes me, boy! What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Umm… walking? Well I was until you grabbed me…"
She rolled her eyes at him.
"I mean with Kurt, you idiot!"
"Oh." He thought maybe she was spending too much time with Quinn. The blonde girl's HBIC attitude was rubbing off on the her. "Nothing."
"I saw you, Finn. You were hugging Kurt."
"Oh, yeah." He gave her a weak smile, trying not to look guilty. He never noticed how scary Mercedes could be. Of course, she was not usually mad at him.
"Why the hell did you do that?"
"Cuz he needed a hug," he said lamely. Kurt was not going to be happy that Mercedes saw them together. Finn just hoped he wouldn't be mad at him.
"Well, stop it!" she said angrily.
Wait…what? Why was she so mad? Didn't she want Kurt to be happy?
"I don't understand…"
"That's because you're a moron," she said.
"Hey!" He was really starting to get mad now.
"Do you know how much Kurt likes you?"
"I … I have an idea." He couldn't help it. He thought back to the other day when they made love. He had a pretty good idea! That made him smile.
"God, Finn! What the hell is wrong with you?"
He just gave her a confused look. Really what was her problem anyway? He knew she was close to Kurt, but he was getting tired of her attitude.
"Kurt like likes you."
"So?" he said raising his voice a little, defensively.
"And by hugging him like that you're leading him on… and you know what? I think you like that. I think you like the attention you get from Kurt."
And suddenly it clicked, and he thought he understood. He wasn't that stupid.
"Mercedes…"
She glared at him so fiercely, he hesitated.
"I… I like Kurt… a lot."
"Oh, you just don't get it, boy."
"No, I get it. You're the one who doesn't get it."
"I think it's pretty clear, Finn."
"Really?" he said. "And I guess you thought Kurt was all alone when you talked to him this morning on the phone?"
That stopped her. "Wait… he was doing that with you right there?"
He gave her a pointed look. And they called him slow.
Her eyes widened in surprise. "You and Kurt?"
Finn nodded.
"But…but…Kurt would have told me."
"He wanted to, Mercedes. He thought it would be hard for you… having to hide it and trying not to get too excited…" But the thing was… she didn't look excited for them at all. In fact, she just looked mad.
"This is bad, Finn."
"Why?" he asked. "I like Kurt. He likes me. What's the problem?"
"Because Kurt is serious about this."
"Hey, I'm serious, too."
"I've seen you with Rachel, white boy. You can't ever make up your mind. Kurt doesn't need that. He needs someone who isn't just curious."
"I'm not just curious, Mercedes. I … " And he stopped. He wasn't going to tell her how much he loved Kurt… until he was able to tell Kurt himself. He had wanted to tell him before, but he got scared. What if Kurt didn't love him back?"
"I don't believe you know what you want."
"I don't care what you think, Mercedes!" He finally snapped. "I'm with Kurt. And he means a lot to me…"
"Then why are you keeping it a secret, Finn?" she interrupted.
"I'm not!" he said. "Kurt doesn't want to tell anyone until our parents move in together so we don't mess up anything they have going."
Mercedes thought about this and then nodded her head in understanding. That gave Finn some confidence to continue.
"So here's how it's going to be, Mercedes. I'm with Kurt. Deal with it. You're not going to tell anyone what you know… not even Kurt! And you're going to be happy for us. Understand?"
She opened her mouth to speak and at Finn's glare, she shut it again. She nodded, and Finn thought he saw some understanding… and respect in her eyes. Although, it could have just been the light.
He gave her one last warning look before he left the small room and headed back to the gym.

Kurt was glad school was finally over as he headed toward his baby. He had been frustrated all day, but now he was feeling better. His headache was gone, and he was looking forward to the weekend. He had hit upon an idea and was really excited about it. Of course, his plans usually seemed to backfire, but this one wouldn't. It was really good. He had talked to Mr. Schue and convinced him to let him use some of the Glee props. He told him it was for a routine they were thinking about doing. If the teacher knew the real use for them, he would have never let Kurt borrow them.
Kurt felt a little guilty… but it would be worth it, if it made Finn happy.
Kurt smiled at that thought as he climbed into his Navigator.
He didn't have to wait very long before Finn joined him.
"Hey, Kurt."
"Hey, Finn," he answered.
Finn seemed to be in a really good mood. Kurt just wanted to reach over and kiss him.
"I missed you, Kurt. And I really want to kiss you right now."
Kurt smiled at his boyfriend.
"I know, me too. But we can't Finn."
"Well, maybe we could go back to the park… or to your room, Kurt."
Finn's voice was seductive and just the sound of it was doing things to his body."
"I have to work in the shop, Finn. With my dad," he quickly added before the other boy could get any ideas.
"Oh, okay." He sounded so sad.
"But later, Finn… we will be together later, I promise. In fact, I have a plan…"
"Kurt, your plans don't usually work out too well."
"This one will, Finn," he said with a smirk. Then he noticed the time. "Oh my gosh, it's getting late. I have to get to the shop."
Kurt started the car and headed toward Finn's house.
"Can I at least hold your hand, Kurt?" he asked.
"Of course, Finn."
The other boy took his offered hand and squeezed it. Kurt was filled with a sudden feeling of happiness. He had a boyfriend. Not just any boyfriend but the perfect boyfriend.
His thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of Finn's thumb rubbing the palm of his hand gently. He would have never thought that would be such a turn on!
"Finn," he said breathlessly.
"Hmmm?"
"I…"
And then Finn was stroking the fingers on his hand… and then just the middle finger; Kurt was having trouble concentrating.
But before he could tell the other boy that he just had to stop, Finn put Kurt's finger in his mouth, sucking gently.
"Finn!" he gasped, trying to pull his hand back. He was really having trouble paying attention to the road with Finn doing that! And after all the frustration he had felt all day… well that wasn't helping. At all!
"I'm going to crash if you don't stop."
"Sorry," he said sounding anything but. He let Kurt pull his hand back.
Finn just fiddled with the radio until they pulled up to the Hudson house.
"Okay, here… safe and sound."
Finn just grinned at him.
"So, I forgot to mention that dad texted me and said we were going to your house tonight. I guess your mom's going to cook."
"Oh, okay. I guess I'll see you later then." As Finn started to leave the vehicle, Kurt grabbed his hand.
"I'm sorry about this morning, Finn," he said quietly.
"It's okay," he said. Again with a sweet smile.
"I'm going to make it up to you, Finn. In fact, I'm going to make it up to you tonight."
"Cool!" he said bringing Kurt's hand to his lips and kissing his palm.
Kurt even forgot to look and make sure no one was around. All he could think about was how much he really wanted to grab the other boy and finish what they started that morning.
And then Finn had let go of his hand and was out of the car. He waved before turning and walking toward the house.
Kurt couldn't wait until they had a chance to be alone together! Until then he would busy himself working in the shop.
That would help take his mind off of everything.
