Hey everyone. Thank you so much for all the support. I really appreciate it. I'm sorry it took me so long to update. Like I said before, school and work have been using up most of my energy and I haven't had as much time to write, but I'm doing my best to update each story once a week. Hope you guys enjoy and review if I should keep going!

Hairography

Kurt couldn't stop thinking about Blaine's ultimatum. Either go public or stop doing this in private. He wanted to be with Blaine so badly... but he knew this school. Some of the guys on the football team were much bigger than he was... and would Coach Tanaka even let him stay on the football team if he found out?

And then there was Rachel. He was sure she'd be mortified if she found out that he was cheating on her - with another guy, nonetheless. Then again, he was suspicious he wasn't the only guy Rachel had eyes for anymore.

His eyes fell on Finn. Finn was into Rachel and everyone knew it. As much as it hurt Kurt to admit it, he knew Rachel was into Finn too. Maybe if Finn wore clothes that didn't look like they were thrown together at the last minute, Rachel wouldn't feel bad if Kurt broke up with her.

"Hi Finn."

Finn looked at Kurt standing at his locker. "Hi." He didn't know what to say. Kurt definitely went between being nice to him and not being nice to him. He wasn't sure what today was going to be.

"So, I was thinking, with Sectionals coming up, we know you're going to be a lead, but we want you to look appealing," Kurt said.

This was making less and less sense. "Okay..."

"Yeah, exactly," Kurt added. "Okay. So, what do you say I come over and we'll find you something for Sectionals?"

"Won't we be wearing uniforms for Sectionals?" Finn asked.

"Finn, the judges could be coming from this school," Kurt said. "We don't know who they are. If they see that our lead is attractive... it could get us some brownie points. So, what do you say, can I come over tonight?"

Finn still wasn't sure if he liked this idea, but maybe it was worth a try. After all, it was his house. He could always ask Kurt to leave if he got uncomfortable. It was his house, after all. "Okay."

The doorbell rang, and Kurt was standing there. "Hi," Finn said.

"Hello Finn," Kurt said.

"So, what are we doing again?" Finn asked.

"We're going to find you some nice stuff to wear during the days leading up to Sectionals," Kurt said.

Finn still didn't like this idea. "Okay..."

"Are you home alone?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah," Finn said.

"Maybe your dad has some nice stuff when he goes out with your mom," Kurt said.

Finn wasn't sure if he should talk about his dad with Kurt. They had an off and on relationship, and Kurt might make fun of Finn's dad being dead. "Oh, my dad's... not here."

"I'm sorry," Kurt said, looking sympathetic. "Did he leave?"

"No," Finn said. He figured he'd just admit it. "He died."

"I'm sorry," Kurt said. "My mom died too. Do you miss him?"

"Well, I was a baby so..." Finn began.

"I'm sorry," Kurt repeated. "Maybe that's for the better that you didn't know him. I miss my mom."

"I'm sorry," Finn said. He did wish he had his dad at times. As much as he loved his mom, he couldn't talk to her about girls very much, and she didn't understand sports. "So, what did you think of the Jane Addams glee club that came to visit and show us their number today?"

"Oh, that was so lame," Kurt said. "The hairography."

"I know, right?" Finn asked.

"And Mr. Schue wanting us to do a hairography number?" Kurt asked. "We can do so much better."

"Yeah," Finn said. "I thought Defying Gravity would have been good, and why don't we just do Don't Stop Believing and Somebody to Love? Those were good numbers."

"Tell me Finn: who was better on Defying Gravity, me or Rachel?" Kurt asked.

"I thought you were both good," Finn said. "I thought it would have been good as a duet."

"Really?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah," Finn said. When he looked past the fact that Kurt was dating Rachel, Finn had to admit, they sounded good together. "Anyway... you said you wanted to find some stuff for me to wear in case the judges happen to be around McKinley?"

"Yeah," Finn said. "You were mentioning my dad... my mom actually still has his stuff..."

"Okay," Kurt said. "Let's go look through it."

"My mom never threw it out," Finn said.

"My dad's that way, too," Kurt said. "My mom died ten years ago, and he still keeps her toothbrush on the holder by their sink. The broken dresser in their room still smells like her perfume. I know it's stupid, but sometimes I'll sneak in there and open all the drawers and lie on the floor and close my eyes and just smell her."

"That's not stupid," Finn admitted. He led Kurt into the basement, where he pulled out the box of clothes that had been his dad's. "Let's see..."

Kurt began looking at the clothes. "Your dad had good taste."

Finn pulled on some of the clothes. "Wow, they fit..."

"See Finn, you can wear nice stuff," Kurt said. "Wear some of this to school tomorrow, and all the girls will turn when you walk down the hall."

Finn didn't want all the girls to walk down the hall. "There's only one girl I want to impress."

"And who is it?" Kurt asked.

Finn couldn't say. "I'd rather not say."

"Okay," Kurt said. "But still... the girls will be impressed."

x

Finn walked around the hall in the suit and tie Kurt had told him to wear. He felt a bit strange wearing this to school. His mom had asked him why he was wearing a suit and tie to school. He didn't know what Kurt was doing this for...

Then Rachel stopped. "Finn..."

"Hi," Finn said to Rachel. He noticed that she was looking at him. Did she think he looked good? "Did you have something to say?"

"Um... I did," Rachel said. "But I... forgot..."

Finn liked the way Rachel was looking at him. "Well, I was wondering, want to come over tomorrow and practice for Sectionals?"

"Sure," Rachel said. "I'll come tomorrow after your football practice."

Finn smiled. "That's great." Kurt had helped him - but Finn couldn't let Kurt know that it was Rachel he'd impressed. He found Kurt in the hall. "Hey, one of the girls wants me to come over and practice for Sectionals..."

"See, I told you," Kurt said. "Who was it?"

Finn paused. "I'd rather not say... just in case. But she's coming over..."

Kurt looked at Finn. "I'll come over before she comes to help you out."

x

Finn paced around. Kurt was coming over, but before he got here, Finn asked Rachel to come a little later so he could have time to prepare. He remembered the first song that he and Rachel sang together and thought it would be perfect for them to sing.

The doorbell rang, and Kurt came in. "Hello Finn."

"Hey Kurt," Finn said.

"So you won't tell me who this girl is?" Kurt asked.

"Sorry, like I said... in case it doesn't work out..." Finn began.

"Okay, so what song were you thinking of doing?" Kurt asked.

Finn and Rachel hadn't even talked about that. "I kind of wanted to do 'You're The One That I Want' from Grease." It was the first song he and Rachel had done together... and they hadn't even gotten to finish it.

"Then you should channel your inner Danny Zuko," Kurt said. "Let's find you some Danny type clothes."

"What?" Finn asked. "Wasn't this about looking..."

"Finn," Kurt interrupted. "Trust me."

"Okay," Finn said. After some time with Kurt, Finn hoped he and Rachel could have a good night together.

x

Rachel had gotten a text from Finn saying she could just come in. She looked around. "Finn?"

"I'll be right out," Finn called. "You can wait in the living room."

"Okay," Rachel said. "Any songs in mind?"

"I wanted to do the one from Grease, from our first Glee rehearsal..." Finn called.

"Okay," Rachel said.

Finn came into the living room and Rachel felt shocked. Finn was wearing jeans, a white shirt and a black leather jacket, and his hair was sticking up, like Danny Zuko's style in Grease, not like his usual style. He turned on the radio and began the song.

Finn: I got chills, they're multiplyin'

And I'm losing control

'Cause the power you're supplyin'

It's electrifyin'!

Rachel: You better shape up

'Cause I need a man

But my heart is set on you

Rachel turned off the radio. This wasn't going well. "Wait... stop."

"What's wrong?" Finn asked.

Rachel knew what was going on right now. Finn was trying to seduce her. If it wasn't for Kurt, she'd be with him. But she was with Kurt, and she'd already cheated once. "I'm going to be honest, I'm feeling really uncomfortable now..."

"What's wrong?" Finn asked.

"Between the suit you wore to school yesterday, and this tonight... you're not being yourself," Rachel said. "Something feels off."

Finn looked down. "Rachel... I thought you liked this."

"I'm sorry," Rachel said. "I like you when you're being yourself. This isn't you."

Finn looked even more upset. "I'm so stupid."

"I've got to go," Rachel admitted. "I like you a lot, Finn... a lot... but this isn't right."

Rachel felt horrible for hurting Finn as she left. But she couldn't keep doing this. Either she needed to break up with Kurt or stop doing things with Finn behind Kurt's back.

Finn had spent all night sulking in his room after what happened with Rachel. He was sure he shouldn't have accepted Kurt's help. Kurt probably knew that Finn was into Rachel. When they talked about their families, Finn thought that they were friends... but Kurt was just a fake. He was probably trying to sabotage things.

Finn went up to Kurt at his locker. "You made me make a fool out of myself."

"What?" Kurt asked.

"Oh, like you don't know," Finn said. "You had me dress up like a politician going to a rally and then like Danny Zuko to make me look bad..."

"You thought I didn't know that you were trying to steal my girl?" Kurt asked.

"Well, your girl is into me too, and there's nothing you can do about it," Finn snapped.

"That's what you think," Kurt said. "Well, why would she choose you over me?"

Finn groaned. "You think that you're so above me..."

"Let me tell you something, Finnegan, I was helping you," Kurt said. "You can sing with Rachel, you can dance with her, but you will never have her."

"We'll see about that," Finn said. "I'm not going down without a fight."

"You're already down," Kurt said. "You don't even need to fight."

"We'll see about that," Finn said.

When Finn went to glee club that day, he didn't even make eye contact with Rachel. The Haverbrook deaf choir was visiting today, and the New Directions performed their hairography number. Finn was sure it was the worst number they'd ever done, and he was humiliated. Even though these kids that could hear didn't have good hearing, he could tell they weren't impressed.

After the hairography number, Finn sat down with the other New Directions members, listening as the Haverbrook choir began performing... with the New Directions eventually joining in, singing as they followed the Haverbrook choir's signing of the words.

Haverbrook choir: Imagine there's no heaven

It easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people

Living life for today

Mercedes: Imagine there's no countries

It's not hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace. Yoo-hoo-ooh-ooh

Artie: You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you will join us
And the world will be as one

Rachel: Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

Finn and Rachel: No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

New Directions: Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

Mercedes: You may say I'm a dreamer

New Directions: Ooh

But I'm not the only one

Finn and Rachel: I hope someday you will join us

And the world will live as one.

They hadn't even planned it, but Finn and Rachel had ended up singing together. Their voices still sounded amazing together. But had he completely ruined his chances to be with Rachel by mouthing off to Kurt?

x

As Rachel and Kurt left glee club, Kurt turned to Rachel. "Can we be in love again?" he asked. Maybe if things got better with Rachel...

"Can I tell you something?" Rachel asked. "I can't keep lying."

"What?" Kurt asked. Had she cheated on him with Finn?

"Last night I went to Finn's," Rachel said. "We were home alone... and he came out dressed in this Grease type costume... I don't even know why I went, but something could have happened... but nothing happened... I left before anything could happen."

Kurt knew what the plan was. He'd been the mastermind behind that. "Nothing happened though?"

"No," Rachel said. "I only want to be with you."

Kurt wasn't even sure if he still wanted to be with her. But he could try. "I love you, Rachel."

"I love you too," Rachel said as she gave Kurt a hug. As Kurt and Rachel walked away, Kurt saw Blaine watching them with a sad look on his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Finn doing the same thing.

x

"I have something to tell you guys," Mr. Schue told the glee club. "You were right. This isn't who we are. I want us to try something different. To sit on a stools and sing. Just sing."

The next day, the glee club sat in the auditorium, sitting on stools as Tina led them in the song. As they sang, Rachel couldn't help but keep looking over at Finn. She felt horrible for hurting him the other day, and despite her talk with Kurt, she wasn't even sure if she was in love with Kurt.

New Directions: Ah, ah, ah

Tina: You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh, I realize it's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And darkness, still inside you

Make you feel so small

New Directions: But I see your true colors shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow

Tina: Show me a smile, then

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up because you know I'll be there

New Directions: And I see your true colors shining through

Yeah

I see your true colors and that's why I love you

So don't be afraid

Afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors

Tina: True colors

Are beautiful like a rainbow.

At the end of the practice, Rachel chased after Finn. "Finn..."

Finn turned. "Hey Rachel."

"I'm really sorry about the other night," Rachel said. "It wasn't right of me to run off like that."

Finn shrugged. "It's fine. You were right. You're with someone else. I shouldn't have been trying to force myself on you..."

What was Rachel supposed to say? She knew she wanted to be with Finn. But she also knew that she was with Kurt. And Kurt had just told her that he wanted to give things another try. "I'm just so confused..."

"Before I started hitting on you, you were happy with Kurt," Finn said.

Rachel did like Kurt. But in a friends way. Her romantic feelings were for Finn. "I'm just so confused..."

"Don't be," Finn said. He walked away, leaving Rachel there to think.
