This is a two-parter, so the next chapter will be posted immediately after this. :)
They're going to college in the fall, Finn to NYU, Rachel and Kurt to NYADA. Since they'll be living in the "fashion capital of the world", Kurt insists that Finn and Rachel need whole new wardrobes.
First, he deals with Rachel.
They buy a couple of pairs of skinny jeans, in varying shades, and numerous cute tops and jackets that are not adorned with animals of any kind. Kurt made sure of that. The tones are much more muted than Rachel's previous wardrobe, but Finn thinks she looks stunning in everything she's bought and tells her so. It boosts her confidence a little and she smiles brighter for the rest of the day, so he thinks he's done a good job.
She has five large shopping bags (Finn carries all of them for her, being the chivalrous boyfriend he is) and is starting to tire. Shoe shopping is last on Kurt's list for Rachel "for now", his brother adds ominously. It's taking a while because Kurt and Rachel can't seem to agree on anything. They've already bought her a pair of knee-length black boots with a heel that Rachel looks fantastic in, but she wants something more casual and comfortable to wear day-to-day. Finn breaks away to look by himself.
He heads to the converse section, sees a cute pair of bright red ones and is drawn to them. They're very Rachel and it'll add a splash of colour to her now very monotonous clothing selection. He picks up another pair in her size, this time in white.
He returns to his girlfriend, tells her "you might like these" and shows her both pairs of shoes.
She loves them and he grins, proud of himself. He insists on buying one pair for her and Kurt looks away, appalled, when they start kissing in front of him.
"Don't look too happy there, Finn," Kurt says as they walk out of the shopping centre, surrounded by bags. "Next week it's your turn."
