Finding Family

Kurt raises an eyebrow as he settles back against his bed, feeling Rachel do the same beside him. "He has lost all originality."

"Mash-ups and movies." Rachel crinkles her nose. "Even I wouldn't suggest that. I mean we did something like that when we had Miss Holiday takeover that one week, but no one wants to do that stuff. It's too much work."

"And this is coming from the girl that works too hard for stuff." Kurt chuckles at Rachel before looking back to the younger Puckerman brother on his computer screen. "What ideas have the guys come up with?"

Jake snorts. "Nothing. None of us are big on songs in movies. We watch mainly action movies, or play video games. Musicals are non-existent for most of us."

Rachel looks outraged while Kurt just shrugs, knowing that his own boyfriend fits into this category. "Well give me and Rachel some time. A few hours at most. We should be able to come up with a good list for you."

"Sweet." Jake answers as Rachel nods. "We're going to need something good because Marley said their duet was made already."

Kurt raises an eyebrow. "Hmm. I can probably think of what they're gonna use, but I'll work on yours. But the power might go out tonight because the wind is picking up and it's been flickering, but I'll try to email you in a few."

"That works, and it's much appreciated." Jake grins.

"So tell us, Jake." Rachel leans towards the screen. "What's the drama like at school now that we're gone?"

Kurt rolls his eyes and relaxes against the wall that he and Rachel are sitting against. Rachel had finally managed to talk Kurt into letting her talk with him to Jake even though he knew she'd start asking questions like this. He knows she's going to be disappointed, as always, but high school just isn't as interesting to her when she's not in the middle of everything.

"Nothing much, Rachel." Jake's tone goes very polite as he addresses Rachel, not really having talked to her much beforehand. "People are keeping to themselves for the most part, and I think that everyone that caused problems for the most part had graduated and left."

Rachel frowns and leans closer, her own thoughts ignoring those around her. "Are you saying that we're the problem? Well I don't think we caused that much drama."

"It did, Rachel." Kurt pushes Rachel gently back before looking back to Jake. "Our main problems were with the jocks and their issues with the glee club. It's to be expected-" He glares at Rachel. "-that with the jocks joining the glee club did cause many problems. Also-" He continues when Rachel goes to interrupt again. "They did all graduate with us. Hence the end of our problems."

Rachel meets Kurt's glare before she scoffs and rolls off the bed and makes her way to the kitchen. He goes to look back at Jake, but Santana catches his eye as she strolls out of the shower in a too short of a towel. He rolls his eyes and looks back to Jake.

"Sorry. Instead of one diva I have to deal with two now." He gives Jake a fake smile.

"Watch it, Lady." Santana calls out as she makes her way to her suitcase in the living room. "I'll push you outside and let you freeze Little lady off."

"Sorry, dude." Jake cringes as he watches Kurt shake his head. "Is the snow getting bad there?"

"It's the worst." Kurt groans. "I think Rachel wants to do another food run before we get snowed in permanently."

"Which means we should be going now." Rachel announces as she returns from their small kitchen with a list. "Hurry up and finish." She says to Kurt before bowing her head in front of the computer to look at Jake. "Say goodbye to Kurt, Puckerman."

Kurt gives her a gentle push as he looks to Jake. "I guess that's my cue to go. So for tonight I will-"

"Make a list." Jake nods. "And thank you."

"It's no-"

Kurt cuts off as a pounding comes through their apartment.

"I got it." Santana announces.

"No." Rachel screeches as she races to the door. "You will not answer the door dressed like-well not dressed at all. Go-" Rachel grabs a blanket from the couch and throws it at Santana. "Cover up and change in the bathroom."

"Only because I don't want to freeze my nipples off." Santana sneers before she makes her way to the bathroom with a towel and blanket wrapped around her and her arms full of her warmest clothes.

Rachel opens the door and lets out a happy laugh. "Adam. What are you doing here?"

"Adam." Kurt looks up to see that yes, Adam is standing in their doorway with a bag over his shoulder.

"Hello, Rachel. I figured since we're out for the week that I'd come over and hangout with you lovely ladies and Kurt." Adam grins from Rachel to Kurt.

Kurt bites his lip as he smiles at Adam. "Give me on second."

"Sure, love." Adam grins before Rachel drags him in to the living room, leaving the front door to close shut.

"Love?" Jake questions.

"He's British." Kurt shrugs. "I think it's another term of affection other than babe or honey."

"You let him call you love?" Jake questions slowly.

Kurt hesitates before nodding. "He's done it from the first time we met. Who am I to question his speaking habits? That'd be insensitive."

Jake shrugs. "Okay. Well I'll let you get to your . . . friends. Stay safe out there."

"I'll talk to you soon." Kurt smiles before they both log off the call.

Kurt sighs and relaxes into his bed, tired. He only stays there for one second before he moves his laptop to the side and gets up to play host and friend.
