Chapter 10: Truth be told

(General pov)

Kurt's mind was playing the conversation he had with Finn during breakfast that morning.

He parked his car while waiting another five minutes before he saw Sam locking the front door as he left the Berry's house. Sam opened the car door and took the shotgun seat. They greeted each other good morning as Sam gave Kurt a short, sweet kiss then, buckling up in his seat. His heart swelling, as he thought how lucky he was to have a boyfriend like Kurt who would wake up earlier just give him a ride to school.

"Morning," Sam said cheerfully. "Morning, Sam." They stayed in silence for a good ten minutes of their journey to school. Neither of them wanted to bring up the incident that happened the other night.

It was only during their lunch break that Kurt brought it up. They both were sitting on the bench where the rest of the New Directions ate their lunch. They sat beside each other at the end of the bench so they could have some sort of a private conversation with each other. Everyone else was too busy talking about costumes designs for sectionals. Well, Tina was talking while the rest either listened or was not paying much attention to the costume-in-charge.

"I'm sorry about last night," Kurt apologized lazily. He knew that it wasn't his fault that Finn caught them making out in HIS room. He could have knocked instead of budging in like that, but NO he just pushed open the door and shouted at them, like… like he had meant to do it. It was like he wanted to catch them making out so that he could shout at them.

"Me too. If I hadn't lost myself over you and had better self-control, we would have been practicing our number for glee." Sam tried to admit, suddenly feeling guilty. He mentally scolded himself for being a normal teenager with raging hormones.

"But then I wouldn't have gotten to touch your super-hot abs," Kurt whispered. Sam chuckled and blushed a little at Kurt's confession. "You think my abs is hot?"

Smiling sweetly, Kurt replied, "Yes…Um, since we're together, do I get to be the only one to touch them?" Sounding innocent but with selfish intentions.

"Are you serious?" Sam asked, sounding almost shocked. But he knew he was only playing with Kurt. He thought it was cute that Kurt was worried about something like that.

Kurt frowned. Of course he was serious. He wouldn't want anyone else touching his boyfriend because he's abs were so amazing.

He's not the jealous type, but who would have known. When it comes to Sam, the guy who he had a crush on since junior year, he might become as protective as a mother hen. Not that he is, because he is not. Hence, he had to admit that he was not at all worried that someone might steal his boyfriend away. He was new to the experience so he had no idea how it works.

He didn't want to be clingy but at the same time, he wanted Sam to know that he liked and cared about him. For all he knows, Sam might be having a phase. No matter how broken his heart would be, he wanted Sam to be happy. If Sam would leave him for a girl or even another guy, he would let it happen. He would understand if he was just an experiment for Sam because at least he could enjoy it while it lasted. To him, Sam linking him was too good to be true.

"Hey, relax. Of course you'll be the only one to touch my fabulous abs. You don't have to worry about a thing Kurt." Sam winked.

Kurt rolled his eyes playfully, then smiling at Sam's attempt to flirt despite thinking that Sam had sounded quite over himself.

"So…did you talk to Finn?" Sam asked, taking their conversation back on track.

Kurt heaved a sigh of…resentment?

"Yea, I did, today before I left the house. I…It's so frustrating, Sam. I don't know what is he's problem. He doesn't want to talk to me. All he said was that I turned you gay and then he said that I MADE you go to bed with me." Kurt was close to tears at the thought of how much hate Finn showed in his eyes while saying all those things to him.

Despite his emotions, he managed to keep his voice low because he didn't want any of the glee club members to know that Finn and he weren't in good terms.

(Kurt's pov)

After Finn came back from New York and met Rachel, he seemed so angry all the time. I don't understand why he's acting that way. The way he treats me now is so unlike him. I don't recognise my brother anymore and it has been so difficult to get him to talk to me.

I know for a fact that he was hiding something from me and I was going to find out.

If only he was telling me what's been bothering him…

Sam looked concerned. He scooted closer to my side and I was immediately wrapped up in his arm while still in our seats sitting side by side. Although the position was not as comfortable, I managed to rest my head on his shoulder as I wound my arms around his slender waist.

"Hey, don't listen to him. I promise you that you didn't turn me gay or lure me to sleep with you or anything like that, okay." He chuckled a little, probably because the idea seemed stupid to him.

Well, I hope so. I hope I didn't make Sam attracted to me because I flirted with him before we dated a couple of times.

Also, I don't want to SEEM or BE predatory to anyone, especially to my own step-brother. What happened two years ago was a big mistake with Finn and I have NO intentions of making the same mistake again. But, that was not exactly my main concern.

"It's not that. I just…I don't know who Finn is anymore. Ever since he came back to Lima, he's been acting…distant. We don't even talk like we used to. Every time I try talking to him, he gives me one word answers. I think he hates me."

"Look at me," Sam nudged me by the chin. I did as he told me and looked into his eyes. I didn't realize that I was crying until Sam rubbed his thumb across my cheek, wiping a tear away.

I smiled when he leaned in to kiss me on the lips. I opened my eyes, which I didn't know I had closed, the moment he pulled away to say something.

"Why not, you let me talk to Finn? Find out what's wrong with him." I shook my head yes. I really wanted to be able to talk to my step brother again. No matter how bad he treated me, I had a feeling it was due to something sensitive that made him snap at me like that.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Speak of the devil.

"Hey Finn, what are you doing here, the teacher's lounge too 'ancient' for you?" The big group chuckled at Kitty's remark.

"Hahah, very funny," Finn shot back. Someone's in a bad mood.

He gave me and Sam a side glance, scowling slightly. I pouted. I felt Sam squeezing my shoulder, trying to give me some support.

"I'm fine." I forced a smile.

"It's Friday, I know we have glee practice until five today, but since tomorrow is a weekend, I've decided that we could extend our rehearsal 'til 8. Sectionals are just next week guys and we haven't finished our choreography."

"What, come on Finn. Some of us already have plans." An echo of Yeses came from most of us, even Sam and I. We were quite stumped about the news.

Our date was tonight. I was actually looking forward to it and now it has to be cancelled or postponed.

(Sam's pov)

Well, that's unexpected. Mr. Shue never extended glee practices on Fridays, simply because it's 'Friday night'.

Looks like he's made up his mind, Finn had that stern look on his face and totally ignoring everyone's protest. A smirk plastered on his face, he walked away, probably going to the teachers' lounge.

I kissed Kurt on the cheek and got up from my seat. I still had fifteen minutes before lunch was over to talk to Finn. The faster I talk to him, the faster I can find a way to make my Kurt happy again.

"Finn, wait up," I shouted, catching Finn in the hallways. A couple of students were lingering around, minding their own business.

"Sam?"

I stood in front of the taller boy. Suddenly feeling intimidated, I breathed in deeply and said, "we need to talk."

"What is it?" Clearly he didn't like the idea.

"…and-a-1, and-a-2. Come on guys, we have to make this perfect. The Warblers are doing more choreography this year so that means, we have to step up our game to beat them for sectionals... Mike, can you take over for me? Thanks." Finn seemed to need a break. He asked Mike to take over running through the steps with us.

Oh wait, he's not resting. Instead, he asked me to go over there to him, and he asked Kurt as well. I wonder if this is about the talk we had earlier.

Kurt and I sneaked ourselves out of the group and went over to Finn. I had no idea what Finn was going to say to us.

"I'm sorry about last night…"

I was not expecting that at all. I was kind of expecting the don't-tell-anybody speech because he was not coping well with his own problem, don't want the whole school to know.

He told me what happened in New York, during our talk. The real reason he was getting angry and frustrated was because he and Rachel had broken up after he visited her in New York. He told me that Rachel had cheated on him. Long story short, the thing with Rachel had made him reluctant to trust me with Kurt. He was also worried that since I had sort of kept a secret about myself from him, then he had no reason to believe that I was into dudes.

"I didn't mean to say that I thought you were hiding about yourself Sam. I mean I understand that it took time for you to figure out about your sexuality because we're still young. I wasn't thinking when I acted like that in front of mum and Burt, and how bad I made you guys look at that point in time…. And Kurt, I didn't mean to accuse you of turning Sam… gay. I know that's like, stupid and impossible. Now that I think of it, I must have hurt you real bad with what I said to you, Kurt. I was out of line and I'm really sorry. Will you forgive me, guys?" Finn sounded genuinely sorry about what he did.

I couldn't blame the guy after knowing the truth of what happened between him and Rachel. They were the most loving couple I have ever seen, but without a doubt, the most complicated. It was most probably due to the long distance thing. I can't believe Rachel would do that to Finn. There sure has to be something I don't know. Well, anyway it's not really my business to know. Whatever it is, Finn deserved enough crap and I was willing to forgive him for his mistake.

"Finn, dude, it's okay. We understand that you've been through quite a lot these past few months. You didn't mean to say all those mean things to me and Kurt. I forgive you." I paused to see what Kurt had to say. I don't know if he was going to forgive Finn.

"Me too. It's fine Finn." Kurt said, with sympathy for the tall guy. I had, prior to Finn's apology, told Kurt about everything that Finn had told me. It was Finn's decision to let me tell Kurt because it was the only way Kurt could understand the way he acted.

I hugged Kurt for that.

"Dude, if you need to talk or anything, just come to us. We'll help you out, so cheer up okay?"

Kurt agreed with me, and said, "Oh come here you."

I was suddenly pulled into a small hug between brothers. "Thanks guys," Finn thanked us.

I grinned at myself. I was glad everything was okay again.

"Um, there is something I have to admit though." Finn pulled out of the hug and started fidgeting.

"You can tell us anything Finn" Kurt encouraged.

"Actually, my aim was to you keep you guys from going on your date tonight."

"What, you mean…" I was still processing the information.

Kurt was fast to catch it and pointed out, "This extra rehearsal for sectionals was so that I and Sam don't get to go on our date tonight?" He seemed a little pissed, crossing his arms and then narrowing his eyes at Finn.

"Yes" Finn almost whispered.

I thought Finn was being a jerk for doing such a thing, but I remained silent. He did say he was sorry and I only talked to him after he informed the glee club about the extended rehearsal. I guess, he wanted to change his mind but didn't know how to.

"Here's what you're gonna do, Finn. I will let you go on this one IF you let all of us leave an hour early… Alright?" Kurt asked sternly.

Finn ponders for a second before making a decision, "alright." Kurt and I walked away while Finn dismissed the rest of the glee club.

"Dinner, just the two of us?" Kurt nudged me in the shoulder. I smirked, "I would love to." I wondered what his initial plan for out date was. If we had had more time, we would have probably caught a movie first then dinner at Breadstix.

"Let's go. I have to get changed."

"You look fine, Kurt." Still sexy in that easy-to-move-around outfit he wore. The thin, almost see through, plain, black, unbuttoned on the top, shirt which wrapped perfectly around in body. A little lose than what he usually wear, but perfect nonetheless. And the grey sweatpants, folded up to below his knees, accentuates his cute butt, was looking fine to me.

"Sam, I'm all sweaty and probably stink after all that dancing and singing."

I giggled, mentally slapping myself for checking him out while he was complaining about having to look good for our date. Not bothering to argue because I felt the same way about myself, I nodded. Kurt Hummel, you're perfect. Without a proper conscious mind, I pulled Kurt's body towards me, giving him a long passionate kiss.

"What was that for?" He asked, looking straight into my eyes. I shrugged. "Can't I kiss my boyfriend without a particular reason?"

"I'm smelly right now."

"You. Smell. Nice." I whispered as I leaned my face closer to his neck, at each word, then inhaling his sweet scent.

Kurt blush a crimson red. We were so close now, our bodies brushing against each as I hold him by the waist. I smirked as he wriggled out of my arms.

"We should go," he muttered. I felt him drag me out of the choir room as I struggled to grab both of our bags from the floor.

I was hoping you guys could tell me if you want smut after this scene or not. Anyhow, leave a comment on how you want this to continue. Thank You for reading!
