Brand New Start
Chapter 37
Blaine POV
"Dude you know I can't talk about this. He's my brother and it freaks me out."
"All I said was that it wasn't the first time." I laugh as Finn puts his fingers in his ears.
"NO! Blah blah blah blah, I don't hear you."
There is a knock on the door and I jump up to answer.
"Yo!" Kyle says as he walks in and looks over at Finn still jumping around with his fingers in his ears. "What's up with him?"
"He's being immature."
"NO I'm not! I just don't want to talk about it, think about it, imagine it, Oh God, now I'm imagining it!" He sits down on the couch staring straight ahead. Kyle looks over at me confused.
"I had sex with his brother." I laugh.
"OH GOD STOP!" Finn yells and Kyle starts laughing.
"Serves you right for all the times they have walked in on you and Rachel."
"Hey, if we are using that as an excuse then someone still needs to walk in on you naked after you walked in on my girlfriend."
"You volunteering cuz I'm not down with that?" Kyle laughs as he tosses his guitar onto the table.
"OK enough talk of naked men and sex." Finn says putting his hands in his hair.
"Fine, let's look at what we have from last week." I say reaching into my bag and pulling out the papers from our last writing session.
"I was working on something too." Finn says jumping up from the couch and running to his room.
"I might have a gig for us." Kyle announces.
"Oh yeah?"
"It's nothing big. And it's not until next month, but it's something."
"What's something?" Finn asks coming back into the room with a stack of papers in his hand.
"A gig maybe." Kyle says sitting on the floor with his guitar in his hand.
"Oh yeah! Sweet."
"Yeah well don't get excited. It's this grand opening for this yogurt shop. Nothing major, but it's a paying gig. My Uncle knows the owner and he said they were looking for a band to perform. He's gonna put in a good word."
"I like yogurt." Finn says licking his lips.
"Of course you do." I laugh. "So where did we leave off?"
"Well I started writing some of the drum parts for the chorus." Finn says pulling his drum sticks out of the back of his pants and banging out the beat on the coffee table.
"Hey that sounds pretty good." Kyle says as he starts strumming his guitar to the beat.
"You know this would sound really nice with a keyboard melody under the guitar." I say tapping my foot.
"How you gonna play both parts? Kyle says stopping.
Finn and I look at each other and smile. "Sam." We both say.
"Blondie? I thought he went back to L.A." Kyle questions.
"He did. But…" I start.
"What do you think of adding two more to our band?" Finn continues.
"We hardly even have a band right now, but it would be nice if we could add some bass or keys." He says thinking out loud. "Can they play?"
"Oh yeah. Puck can play any thing with strings and Sam plays keys, guitar, you name it."
"You think they can be ready by the yogurt launch?" I ask.
"Let's ask them." Finn says grabbing his cell phone. He dials the number and then clicks on the speaker phone.
"Yo it's Puckerman! Talk!"
"Puck, it's Finn."
"FINNY! Boy what up what up?"
"Hey Puck." I yell toward the phone.
"You got me on speakerphone? I thought you said you'd never put me on speakerphone after that time I talked about your sex life without knowing your mom was in the room."
"Yeah well my mom isn't here so there's nothing you can say to fuck me up!" Finn laughs.
"Oh yeah? Remember that time you and I got drunk and passed out in my bed and when we woke up…." Finn jumps for the phone and turns off the speaker.
"DUDE WE SWORE WE WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT THAT!"
"Woah!" Kyle laughs.
"Hudson, didn't know you had it in you." I chuckle.
"Nothing happened, it was a misunderstanding!" He yells. "I'm putting you back on speakerphone, be nice asshole or I'm changing my mind." He pushes a button and I can hear puck laughing.
"Change your mind about what?"
"Where's blondie?" Kyle asks into the phone.
"Who's there?" Puck asks.
"It's Kyle."
"Yo Sammy, boys on the phone, get in here." Puck yells and I hear some banging and then Sam's voice.
"What?"
"Finn's on the phone. We on speaker." Puck announces.
"Hey Finn." Sam says.
"Hey, so look, we have something to talk to you guys about." Finn starts talking.
"Tell me you didn't get her pregnant?" Sam says seriously into the phone and Finn looks at the phone with a look of disdain on his face.
"Wait what? No, no one is pregnant."
"We want to know if you guys are still interested in One Night Stand?" I shout.
"Seriously?" Puck shouts. "Like for real or are you just messing with me. Cuz if you're just messing with me that's really rude."
"Dude, shut up. We're serious." Finn says rolling his eyes. "Don't make me regret it already."
"So like you want us to haul your gear and stuff." Sam asks.
"What? No, well I mean, yes you will haul stuff around because we don't have a crew, but we were more interested in your musical contribution."
"Like actually join the band?" Puck says loudly into the phone.
"Yes asshole, actually in the band." Finn says annoyed and hits the mute button. "If we have to say it again I'm changing my mind." He clicks the button.
"I gotta talk to the school about a transfer. I looked into NYU when I was there and they were totally interested."
"What kind of grades do you get man?" I say impressed.
"I barely pay attention but it must be good because I have no issue getting in anywhere. Hell, I turned down Princeton when I got the offer my senior year because I wasn't sure I wanted to go to college." Sam says acting as if he's barely interested in school.
"So is this something you could get done by next month?" Kyle asks.
"Like this next month?"Pucks says.
"NO like next years next month. YES this next month you idiot." Finn yells.
"Ok chillax man! I can be there whenever you want."
"Yeah me too. It won't take long." Sam says.
"Awesome, cuz we have a gig next month." I say giving Finn the thumbs up.
"We'll call you guys next week when we know more ok?" Sam announces and Kyle nods.
"Ok, perfect, hear from you then." Finn says. "And Puck, that's THIS next week not next months next week."
"Fuck you Hudson." Puck shouts as the phone disconnects.
"Well this opens up a whole lot to this song." Kyle says scribbling down some notes. "This whole bridge is going to sound better with some bass in it."
We work for the next couple of hours until the song is finished. It's the first real song that we have worked on together and finished. Most of the songs we have sung during our gigs have been stuff our management group gave us to cover. But now we have our first "One Night Stand" original.
"This is going to kick ass." Kyle says staring down at the finished song.
"Now we just need places to play it." I say.
"It's gonna happen." Finn says sitting back on the couch. "I know it is."
Just then Rachel and Kurt burst through the front door giggling arm in arm. "Did you see how she was dancing?" Kurt is saying.
"Oh God yes, and the way George was grinding up on her until she fell over." They both snort until they realize we are all staring at them.
"Oh hey!" Kurt giggles.
"I guess rehearsal went well." I say as he walks over and sits on my lap.
"It was amazing." Rachel says spilling over with excitement. "This is the most fun I've had in forever. You guys have to come out once the show starts."
"Oh I wouldn't miss this." I laugh as I flick the glasses on Kurt's face with the tape knotted up in the center of the frames.
I look over at Kyle who is practically drooling over Rachel's costume. "SO KYLE!" I say loudly and he quickly looks at me.
"Uh yeah?"
"Why don't you tell them what they missed?"
"Oh uh, we got two new band members." He says to Rachel as he puts his tongue back in his mouth. That costume is going to stir up crap again if he doesn't stop staring at her thighs.
"Really? Who?"
"Sam and Puck." Finn says kissing Rachel on the cheek. I'm thankful that he can't take his eyes off Rachel long enough to realize that Kyle can't either. Kurt must have noticed it as well because he jumps off my lap and grabs Rachel by the hand. "That's totally awesome, but we need to go change now."
"Oh, but I want to talk about this. When are they coming? Where are they going to stay? How did this happen?" Rachel says excitedly.
"Well I think we can talk about that once we have changed into something less revealing."
Rachel looks up at him. "What?"
"I mean more comfortable." He says pulling on her hand.
She gets up reluctantly and follows him out of the room. Kyle watches her skirt bouncing up and down until she is no longer visible and then swallows.
"Well I think I need to go home." He announces and grabs his guitar placing it in front of his waist and grabbing his bag as he heads for the door.
"Oh well cool dude. See you at school tomorrow." Finn says nodding at him as he leaves.
Kurt and Rachel come back from the bedroom a few minutes later. I laugh when I see that Rachel is wearing large bulky flannel Pj's and looking around the room.
"Kyle left." I say and I see her breath a sigh of relief.
"Rach what the hell? Why are you wearing that?" Finn says when he sees what she is wearing.
"Oh, uh I was cold." She says quietly as she curls up beside Finn on the couch.
Kurt sits down next to me and winks.
"So what do you think?" Finn asks Rachel. "About Puck and Sam coming?"
"Well obviously I'm happy to have them here. I was sad having them all the way in L.A. But where are they going to stay?"
"Not here!" Finn says loudly.
"I'm sure they can find something. They found something on their own in L.A."
"True." Kurt says to me.
"We might have a gig." Finn says pulling Rachel on to his lap.
"Yeah?"
"Brace yourselves." I announce. "It's a yogurt shop opening."
"Awww, Finn loves yogurt." Rachel giggles and Finn kisses her cheek.
"I miss this." Kurt says smiling up from the floor by my feet.
"What?" Finn asks looking at him.
"Us. We haven't had a Klaine and Finchel night in forever."
"We haven't have we?" Finn nods.
"Let's promise not to forget it again." I say patting Kurt on the shoulder.
"Starting now." Rachel says jumping up from Finn's laugh.
"What are you doing babe?"
"Setting up a game of COD! Finn and I are going to wipe the floor with you two." She says running over to the Xbox.
"I love you." Finn says hopping up and following her over to the game room.
"I'm glad you had fun at your new show." I say looking down at Kurt.
"I did. I think it's going to be a ton of fun. And I'm glad I get to do it with Rachel."
"Are you two coming or not?" Rachel yells.
"Yeah get in here so we can show you how this is done!" Finn shouts.
"They do realize we have beaten them the last six times we have played right?" Kurt says smirking at me.
"It's like taking candy from a baby!" I say high fiving him and following him into the room.
