Finding Family

Kurt glares at Rachel before turning away from the annoyed diva to answer his phone. "What?"

"Kurt." Jake's voice is cautious. "Is this a bad time?"

"No." Kurt lets out a frustrated sigh before he moves further down the hallway and lowers his voice so it doesn't carry. "I'm just about to go up against Rachel and she's getting on my freaking nerves."

"Going up against Rachel." Jake repeats words softly before clearing his throat. "What are you talking about? It's almost midnight for you. Are you drunk or something?"

Kurt smiles and shakes his head. "No. Not drunk, unless you're referring to being drunk on energy." He sighs again for the umpteenth time. "Rachel and I are competing in Midnight Madness to prove who's the best."

"What?"

Kurt chuckles. "It's a Nyada tradition to take conflicting people and to put them in the arena to duke it out in song. In this case, it's Rachel and myself and she's being a complete diva about it." Jake snorts and Kurt raises an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"

He hears Jake let out a few more laughs before he answers. "I'm just finding it amusing that you're using the term 'diva' when our glee club assignment for the week is diva."

"Hang on." Kurt stands up straighter. "Did Schue lose his mind? He's seriously run our of ideas if he chose this as an assignment. That man needs to get a life and some inspiration. I mean my god-" Kurt cuts off when he hears Jake laughing through the phone. "I'm being serious Jacob! Don't laugh at me."

"Sorry." Jake quickly sobers up at Kurt's sharp tone. "It's just amusing of how much hating you do on the guy."

"Well he never gave me much." Kurt mutters under his breath before taking in a deep breath. "Sorry for the vent. What were you calling about?"

"Well I was calling to ask what song would be good for diva week, but you seem a bit occupied at the moment." Jake chuckles and Kurt rolls his eyes. "So I'll just sit this one out. It's not like we get to perform every week regardless."

"Well I could think of a few songs in the morning if you want me to." Kurt suggests.

He can hear Jake shakes his head through the small movements in the phone. "Nah. Don't worry about it. I'll sing next week or something. It's not like I'm missing out on anything since we don't really do anything besides sing."

Kurt chuckles and nods. "That is one of Mr. Schue's flaws, but once in a while we'll have an actual lesson. I think the different kind of lesson that he taught was on how to sing in Spanish." Kurt laughs at the memory. "I only participated because we got to dig out some wicked shoes from the props department. But other than that, I don't think he's taught us anything since we sang Fleetwood Mac back in my junior year, and that was only just. That mainly created tons of drama for everyone. It was rather enjoyable if you weren't in a relationship that was on a rocky road."

Jake chuckles. "Well who knows. I'm most likely going to have three years with him if he's still around or I am. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt."

"And I'll let you live in a land of wishful thinking." Kurt chuckles before he rolls his head over and spots someone waiting for him. "Hey. I have to go now. Are you sure you don't want me to look up a few songs for you?"

"I'm good, dude. Get back to your Midnight Madness thing. I'm assuming it's about to start since madness is in the title." Jake chuckles.

Kurt bites his lip and nods. "Yeah. Wish me luck."

"Good luck, Kurt."

Kurt smiles at the sincerity in the voice. "Thanks, Jake. Have a good night."

"You too." Jake responds before hanging up.

Kurt sighs at the phone before bringing it down and tucking it into his pocket. At his action, his one-man audience slowly approaches Kurt. Kurt feels a hand on his shoulder before he hears the voice.

"How are you feeling? Need anything?" Adam asks softly.

Kurt shakes his head and looks away from the dark part of the corridor to the dim part that's illuminated from the room where Midnight Madness will take place. "I think I'm good. Ready to put Rachel in her place for the most part, but sad that I have to do so. Where does she come off on thinking that she's better than everyone else?"

"Well maybe that's because you haven't sang enough." Kurt looks to Adam and sees a smile on that face. "If you were to sing a lot more then maybe she's recognize that her competition.

Kurt smiles. "I'm not exactly competition."

"This is true." Adam slowly nods. "You're so much better than her."

Kurt chuckles softly. "You're sweet."

"I'm Adam." Adam raises an eyebrow.

"And I'm the Doctor." Kurt holds out a hand to Adam. "Nice to meet you."

"Careful." Adam says as he takes the pale hand within his own. "Tell me anymore and I'll have to start singing 'spoilers'."

Kurt snorts and shakes his head. "Like I said, you're sweet."

"And you're laughing." Adam takes a step forward. "That's a good thing. It relieves your stress a bit."

"Well thank you." Kurt smiles softly. "It's been a bit stressful in our apartment for the past few days because of this."

"Well how about this?" Adam holds up their combined hands. "After we're done here, I'm going to take you out to have some fun."

"But it'll be after midnight." Kurt frowns slightly.

"And we'll be in the city that never sleeps." Adam continues on. "We're going to find you a way to get out all of that pent-up aggression. Whether it be eating yourself full of some ice cream, or shouting it all out from the highest open building that we can find."

Kurt's lip twitch into a smile. "You think that will help?"

"I do." Adam nods before he presses a kiss to Kurt's hand. "Then we will return to your place and crash. Once we wake up, we will make Rachel Berry's life a mess by being as loud as we can be."

Kurt chuckles. "Good. Deal. Maybe we can stick her hand in a bucket of water too?"

"And fill her shampoo bottles with hair dye if you want." Adam laughs. "We're doing whatever we can to make you happy and stress-free."

Kurt smiles and pushes himself away from the wall. "That settles it then. Tonight is going to be a night of fun." Kurt tugs on Adam's hand. "Come on then."

I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. :)
