Chapter 8
"Dude, how can you get sick in the summer? I mean it's hot outside!", Finn said and sat down next to Kurt's vanity table. In the meantime, some days had passed, and the group of friends was back in Lima. However, Kurt got sick one day after they arrived at home. The chestnut-haired boy, who was lying in his bed, grimaced. "There was this sick girl sitting next to me on the plane and sneezing into my face every minute." "But we wanted to have a meeting, all of us, to discuss how we will handle this whole stuff. Rachel insisted to do that, it's going to take place at hers because her dads are on vacation", Finn explained. Kurt smiled. "I'm going to pass. Actually, I'm glad I have an excuse because I couldn't bear to be near Rachel and her loud voice now. I mean, I love her, but sometimes, I wish I could turn her volume down", he said. Finn frowned, then turned to Kurt's face products and took one bottle. "What do you have here? Tonic? I thought tonic was for gin tonic", Finn asked and scrunched his nose up in confusion. Kurt rolled his eyes. "That's facial tonic, Finn. It cleans your face.", he explained as if he was talking to a small child. Finn slowly nodded. "But why don't you just use normal water? I mean it can clean your face too and you don't have to order it on Amazon.", he wondered, as he turned the bottle in his hands. Kurt groaned in frustration and got up from bed. "Give me the bottle, Finn. I paid a fortune to get that water and I don't trust you and your clumsiness." Kurt tried to take the bottle out of his brother's hands, but Finn wouldn't let go. Suddenly, the bottle opened, and Kurt got his hands wet. "Dammit Finn!", he screamed as he fell down on his bed with his tail. "Sorry, dude", Finn mumbled. "Boys? Everything okay?", Burt asked from another room. Kurt's and Finn's eyes widened. "Yes, dad! Everything fine!", Kurt answered back, trying to sound calm. "I don't think so. I'm gonna come check on you guys." Kurt quickly covered himself with his blankets and Finn helped him. "Dude, how could you hide that from us for nine months?", he asked. Kurt shrugged. "Blaine and I got better at hiding over the months." "Boys? Everything okay?" Burt entered his son's room. "Yes, dad. I'm just sick, that's all. Finn is not happy that I can't accompany him to the New Direction meeting, but I really don't care.", Kurt explained with an innocent expression. Finn stood next to Kurt's bed, trying to inconspicuously hide a part of Kurt's fin in the blankets. Burt eyed both of them. "You sure that's all? That's why you were shouting?" Finn and Kurt nodded. "Well, I hope you get better soon, bud. Try to rest until you fully recovered, okay?" "Yes, dad", Kurt answered obediently. "Good. I have to go back to the garage. See you later, boys. Finn, have fun at your meeting." Burt closed the door and went downstairs. "Well, that was close", Finn said, relieved. Kurt glared at him while he dried his tail with his powers. "Yes, it was. But you really need to be more careful, Finn. What will you do when Rachel and I are going to be in New York and Puckerman is going to be in L.A.? You will be on your own and nobody can save you if the secret gets out. From now on, don't go near anything water related ever again", Kurt said. Finn nodded. "I get it, okay? But it was an accident, I swear." "Good, but I need you to be extra-careful from now on. Better safe than sorry, right?" Kurt stood up and went out of the room. Finn sighed. Keeping that secret was going to be harder than expected. His stomach was growling. All that fuss made him hungry, so he got up and followed Kurt down the kitchen. Kurt was about to cook water for his tea when he sneezed. At the same time, everything before him covered with ice. Finn cocked his eyebrows. "Dude, I thought you had a grasp on your powers", he said. Kurt cocked his head to the side. "I do! But I don't know how - " Once again, he sneezed and the cup of tea, but also the water boiler before him froze into a giant ice block. Kurt cocked one of his eyebrows. "Well, that is new." "Did that always happen when you got sick?", Finn asked. "Since the day Blaine and I changed, I never got sick. I guess I was really lucky...", Kurt answered with a frown. Finn backed away. "Dude, I don't want you to infect me. I better get going before it's too late." With that, he quickly turned around and left the house through the backdoor. Kurt shrugged, turned to the ice block and balled his hands to fists. The ice melted within seconds and evaporated completely. He smiled to himself. That training session at the resort totally payed off. He took a glass of orange juice and went back to his room. 'Maybe I could take a nap or something', Kurt thought and went to his bed.
When Finn returned from his "meeting", he went upstairs to check on his stepbrother and to give him an update. "Kurt, dude, we talked about…" Finn trailed off when he saw the room of the other boy. Everything was covered with frost and giant bubbles were floating in the air; Kurt was fast asleep on his bed. Finn carefully came over to the bed without slipping because of the ice-covered floor. "Dude wake up! You're going to freeze the whole house", Finn exclaimed. Kurt blinked, opened his eyes and groaned. "Finn don't shout like that, I can hear you and my head still hurts", he complained, still drowsy. "Come on, open your eyes! You need to see what you have done" ,his stepbrother insisted. Kurt slowly followed orders. "What is it, Finn? You are…OHMYGOD!", he screeched when he saw his bedroom. The bubbles fell down and made everything, including the boys, wet. "Crap", Finn cursed when he fell down with his olive-green tail. Kurt blushed. "Sorry", he mumbled, flicking his fin. He balled his hands to fists and started drying his room. When both of them changed back, Kurt sat up and started thinking. "I lose control over my powers when I'm asleep and when I'm sick… what if that will happen to the others too?", he wondered. "That makes sense", Finn agreed. He retrieved his phone from his pocket and started typing a text. "We have to warn the others. From now on, everyone needs to be careful during illnesses", Finn mumbled. Kurt cocked his head to the side. "So if we can't control our powers while we are sick…maybe you can discover your powers like that?", he joked. Finn, who obviously didn't get the joke, cocked his eyebrows. "I didn't think about it like that, but yeah, that kind of makes sense", he said and went over to his brother, sitting down close to him. Kurt looked at him. "What are you doing, Finn?", he asked. "If I get sick too, I know what my powers are. So would you please infect me with your cold? Can you sneeze on me or something?", the taller boy asked, imitating Blaine's infamous puppy dog eyes. Kurt rolled his eyes. "You are aware I was joking, right? And who says that it would work? Forget it", he said, slightly annoyed. All of a sudden, Finn looked a little bit…sad? "All the others already know what they are able to do, I'm the only one who has…nothing, and that kind of sucks", he admitted. Kurt sighed. "Finn, you don't know how lucky you are. I always have to keep myself under control or else, I could hurt others when I'm angry or outraged because of our monster-like powers. I mean Artie could seriously hurt someone with a thunderbolt, Santana could shatter an entire building, Mercedes could turn our continent into a jungle, Blaine could create a vast inferno within seconds, Sam could be responsible for the next ice age, and I could cause a deadly tsunami with one simple movement of my hand… And don't even get me started with all the others' abilities and what they are capable of destroying. You don't need to worry about all this because you don't have dangerous weapons in you that just wait to be activated…", Kurt said and anxiously looked down his hands. "Like one of these superheroes in the Marvel comics said: With great powers comes great responsibility or something like that. And if you are not in possession of these powers, then you don't have to carry a burden like that one." Finn put his head in his hands. "And what if I want that? Think about it: I could help others with my powers, that would be amazing! I mean we don't have to be superheroes or something, but…Rachel once said: Being part of something special makes you special. But honestly, I don't feel special. I just feel…awkward with you guys", Finn sighed. Kurt compassionately patted his shoulder. "You feel awkward? Imagine how I felt my whole life! I was the weird boy who was interested in tea parties and high heels, not in football or Power Rangers, that's why I was bullied all the time. These powers and me being a mythical creature doesn't make my life easier as well. And there you are, complaining you don't have powers? I really don't get it", Kurt said, shaking his head. Finn sighed deeply. "How can you?"
