Chapter 10

My mom stared at me. I heard a glass drop in the kitchen, but didn't care. I figured Kurt and his dad were eavesdropping.

"Finn, what are you saying?" my mom asked.

"Mom, I'm… well I don't know," I stuttered slightly. "I still find girls attractive, but I've fallen in love with a guy. So maybe I'm bi? Maybe I'm gay, and just know an attractive woman when I see one? I don't know. The point is that this is something about me that you didn't know, and I'm sorry. I really am. I just didn't know how you would react."

"Oh," she said. "Finn, sweetie, I… I don't know what to say."

"That's okay. I figured. I just didn't want to disappoint you Mom," I started to tear up a bit. I heard Burt and Kurt walk in behind me, but didn't look at them. I felt Mom look up at them.

"Carol, I know it will be tough. But he's your son," Burt said.

I felt Kurt put a hand on my shoulder. I appreciated the comfort. I looked back at my mom.

"If you want, I can leave for a bit if you need to just digest this or something," I said.

My mom put her hand on my cheek. "Oh sweetie, I never want you to leave. I just want you to be honest with me. I've told you all along that no matter what, I'd always love you." I fell into my mom's arm, and we cried together. "Now I have two gay sons. I guess I'll look extra fabulous."

All four of us laughed.

"That's great Finn!" Will said during our phone conversation later that afternoon. I told him everything about what had happened during the day.

"Yeah, Mom is okay with it. Of course, I didn't tell her about you. Except that I loved you."

"And what did she say?"

"Well she is worried that I love a guy so fast since you're the first guy I've dated, but she's happy that I've at least found someone. She wanted me to tell her who you were, but I wouldn't. I don't think she's ready for that yet."

"Yeah better take that slow."

Kurt walked downstairs at that point. "Are you talking to your man, again?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yes Kurt, I am."

"Tell Kurt hi," Will said.

"Will says hi," I told Kurt. He waved.

"I better go. Mom wants to have family dinner tonight."

"Yeah, Emma is going to come over for dinner tonight."

"Should I be jealous?" I asked.

"Totally. I mean, I just made love with the man I love. But I'm going to dump him to go back to women."

"You could, you know. I'd understand."

"Not this again. I'll call you to tell you goodnight, okay?"

"Okay," I chuckled. "I love you." Kurt made gagging noises. I threw a pillow at him.

"I love you too," Will said, and we disconnected.

"God, you two are sickingly sweet," Kurt said.

"Jealous?" I asked mockingly.

"Jealous of what?" Mom said, coming down the stairs unexpectedly.

"Um…" I panicked.

"Finn was talking to his honey," Kurt teased.

"Oh," Mom said, unsure. "Are you sure I don't know him, honey? I mean, you can tell me."

"No, I'm sure."

"Does he go to your school?" Mom asked. Kurt choked on his water.

"You could say that," I said, glaring at Kurt.

"Is he in your class?"

"No, he's older."

"Oh dating an older man?" Mom said teasingly.

Kurt laughed.

"What is so funny guys?" Mom asked looking from me to Kurt.

"Nothing, Carol," Kurt said.

"Yeah Mom, it's nothing."

That's when it happened. My phone vibrated, and a text message popped up on the screen. This normally wouldn't have been a problem, but the phone was closer to my mom than to me, and she saw it first.

"Finn, honey, why is Mr. Schuster texting you that he wants a repeat performance of last night soon?"
