Chapter 7

I was curled up on with Will on his couch. We were watching Sleepless in Seattle. It was funny. I thought when I started dating another guy that chick flicks would be a thing of the past. Little did I know that Will liked romantic movies. This one was okay though. And mainly I was just enjoying having Will spoon me from behind.

It had been a long week. Will and I hadn't had a moment alone. Between football practice and glee, and homework that was piling up, I was exhausted. As much as I wanted to have meals with him, and cuddle time of course, it was too much. I would just pass out at night.

My mom was becoming very inquisitive too. She couldn't understand why I hadn't been out on a date with Quinn, or Rachel, or Brittany, or even Santana. I told her I just was too busy to date right now, and I was taking a break from romance. She raised her eyebrow at me, and told me she didn't believe me. I just shrugged and kept on eating my dinner.

I told Will about the dinner conversation. He looked unhappy.

"You should tell her you're gay at least. Then she'll stop asking," Will said.

I laughed. "Yeah, right. If you remember right, I am using the excuse that I'm staying over at Kurt's house. So then she'll think that I'm dating Kurt. And even if she believes that I'm not, she'll wonder who I'm dating, and eventually she will come to find that it is you. And you yourself don't want that to happen."

"I told you that if you think she can handle it, then go tell her. If it will make things easier for you, then that is what I want."

"You weren't gung-ho about the idea before, Will. And I don't even know if it will make things easier. I know she has all these expectations for me."

"Like what?"

"Kids for one."

"Who says we… I mean, you… can't have kids?"

"I know there is adoption. And surrogates. But it isn't exactly the same. And what is with the 'you'?"

"Nothing, Finn. Don't analyze it."

"You just don't want me to count on a future with you, right?"

"That's not what I meant. I just don't want to jump ahead to the future when we don't know what will happen. You could find someone else you like better. A girl even."

I glared at Will. "So is that it? You think I'm just going to go back to girls? You think this is a joke?"

"Finn, you are young."

"You're not that old."

"You know what I mean."

"This isn't a phase."

"Fine! Okay, just forget I said anything."

"I love you Will. Don't think I am just going to change that."

His breath caught and so did mine. I hadn't meant to say "love". We hadn't taken that step yet. Even during our mutual orgasms, we had kept that word under wraps. We had decided to take it slow and using that word was not taking it slow.

Will stared at me. "Finn?"

I took a breath. "I meant it Will. I love you. As corny as it sounds, you've taught me what love is. I want to be with you for life. You may think I'm just some stupid high school student, but I can't imagine my life without you."

He took my face in his hands and kissed me softly. "I don't think you're stupid. I love you too."

And that chick flick led to us watching a chick flick while spooning on the couch.
