Chapter 27
After they picked Rachel up from the hotel, they headed straight to the beach. "Wouldn't it be faster if we took the airplane? Or public transportation?", Rachel asked. Elliott shook his head. "Swimming is faster, believe me. We have to look out for flights, then wait for our flight…but if we swim right now, we could be there in five, six hours without pause." Rachel sprinted to the shore. "Then what the hell are we waiting for? Lets' go!", she shouted, jumping right into a breaking wave. The other three laughed, then followed suit.
It finally took them five and a half hours to reach Darwin, mainly because Rachel insisted on swimming nonstop. Kurt, Mercedes and Elliott sighed contentedly when they reached the shore of Darwin. "My tail hurts like hell!", Mercedes complained. "Same here", Kurt moaned. "Oh, come on, guys! We will be at the hospital in no time!", Rachel, who had already dried off, said. "Actually, it's a fifteen-minute walk to the hospital", Elliott corrected her. Mercedes and Kurt groaned. Rachel glared at them. "Move your lazy bodies, I want to see Finn!", she whined.
Twenty minutes later, the four friends arrived at the hospital. Dani, who was sitting in the waiting room, went straight to them. "Rachel? Kurt? What are you doing here?", she wondered. Mercedes shrugged. "Long story", she just said. "Where is he? Where is Finn?", Rachel asked excitedly. "Yes, where?", Kurt wanted to know as well.
"Calm down, guys. Finn is sleeping now. Do you really want to disturb him?", Dani said. Rachel nodded eagerly. The female selkie laughed. "I totally get that, but you need to let him rest. He swam a lot of miles with his still weakened body, he really needs to sleep now", she said softly. Rachel sighed deeply. "Okay…It's not like I waited almost two years for him to come back…", she mumbled, disappointed. Kurt took her hand and lead her to the waiting room. "We can wait for him to wake up, okay? It's already midnight, we also need to rest a little", he suggested. Rachel nodded, suppressing a yawn. "Alright…"
After some hours, Rachel, Mercedes and Dani fell asleep on the guy's laps. Elliott spotted the wedding ring on Kurt's finger. "Soo…you and Blaine got married?", he queried. Kurt nodded, smiling faintly. "It was Sue's and Brittany's crazy idea; it wasn't even planned." "But before I left, you indicated that it would be over", Elliott frowned. "Yes, and we broke up shortly after. Blaine got kicked out of NYADA, returned to Ohio and he and Dave Karofsky became a couple", Kurt grimaced. "Ouch.", Elliott laughed. "But obviously, it didn't stay like that", the selkie winked. "Yes. There was a turning point after Sue trapped us in a fake elevator and a creepy Jigsaw version of her in a tricycle forced us to kiss, even our powers couldn't break down the elevator doors." Elliott cocked his eyebrows. Kurt just shook his head. "Don't even ask, I don't know what was going on in this woman's head. Anyway, these were the longest hours in my life, after that Surfboard incident or when I was trapped in Sebastian's pool, of course", Kurt said, smiling. "But to be honest: it was less bad because Blaine was also there. And now, we are married"
He nudged his friend. "And how about your love life?", he asked curiously. "There is no love life", Elliott admitted. Kurt compassionately patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. Maybe, the right one is just around the corner. You are so lucky. Bisexual people have so many options. You can choose between men and women", he grinned.
"Kurt, I already told you-"
"-You tend to date men, yes I know. But you can try something new, dare something new, right?"
Elliott nodded slowly and looked down on Dani, who was sleeping. Kurt followed his gaze- and smirked. "You already like Dani, don't you?", he guessed. Elliott went silent. Kurt's eyes went wide. "Oh my gosh! Why didn't you try your luck, then?", he asked him, excited. The selkie shrugged. "Some things are not supposed to be, right? I think me and Dani being a thing is one of them.", he said, sad. Kurt patted his shoulder. "That's what I thought four years ago when I first met Blaine. We were best friends, but then he got together with my nemesis and it hurt a lot to see him together with Sebastian. Blaine also admitted he liked me back since an incident at Dalton, but he never had the courage to tell me. What would have been if he had confessed it to me sooner? We would've been a couple sooner and he never would have been in a relationship with Smythe. What I am trying to say is, that you don't have to wait, and you never know what life has in store for you. Don't make the same mistake as I did. Maybe you could lose her to another person, and believe me, that hurts a lot more than your current situation does.", Kurt warned him. Elliott nodded slowly. "I don't know whether I could cope with it if she turned me down", he admitted sheepishly. "But maybe she won't turn you down", Kurt whispered because Rachel turned around in her sleep, mumbling something intelligible. Elliott just shrugged helplessly.
At approximately seven am, so only one or two hours sleep for Kurt, the nurse woke up the five of them. "Finn's awake, you can see him now", she said, smiling softly. Kurt rubbed his eyes and yawned, Rachel, however, excitedly jumped up and sprinted to his room. "Where does that woman take the energy from?", Mercedes wondered and stretched her arms. Dani and Elliott just shrugged, tired themselves.
Rachel cried the entire time she was with Finn, and Finn just held her in his arms without saying anything.
Kurt, Mercedes, Dani and Elliott decided to give them some space and once again waited outside. "How did you even find Finn?", Mercedes asked the selkies, curious. "He was trapped underwater by an anchor, Dani and I freed him. That was shortly after he mysteriously woke up.", Dani explained. Kurt's eyes widened. "You probably saved Finn's life. How can we ever thank you for that?", he said. Elliott and Dani blushed. "It was no big deal, really", Dani answered, trying to hide her blush. "Yes, you would've done the same for us", Elliott added. When he was about to answer, Kurt suddenly remembered something. "Oh my gosh, I forgot to tell Dad and Carole about that!", he realized. He quickly retrieved his phone and sent a text to his parents. His dad answered immediately.
Burt: Not funny, kiddo. You know how much I hate it if you tell bad jokes
Kurt rolled his eyes. He turned around. "Excuse me, guys", he mumbled and went into Finn's hospital room. Rachel was sitting on Finn's lap, but in the meantime, she had stopped crying. However, both of their lips were swollen. Trying to ignore that detail, he went over to Finn's bed and took a photo with his phone.
"What the hell, dude?", Finn frowned. Kurt turned on his heel and went to the door. "Sorry, guys. Continue with… whatever you were doing", he winked and left.
"What were you just doing?", Elliott asked him, one eyebrow cocked. "My dad doesn't believe me with Finn, so I needed some evidence", Kurt answered, sending the photo to his dad per WhatsApp. Then, he sent the photo to the NDs WhatsApp Group. Soon, his phone didn't stop vibrating.
Burt: Jesus Christ! Rachel was right about Australia? Where exactly are you now, kid, Carole and I are coming over!
Puck: MOTHAFUCKA! I swear to you princess if that pic is fake…
Santana: Finnessa is freaking alive? like resurrected from the dead? what the actual fuck!
Quinn: Resurrection is impossible, San. OR DID HE REALLY REINCARNATE, KURT?
Artie: In this world, everything is possible. If I can move my tail, then Finn can totally reincarnate, btw, that's great, man!
Brittany: Is Finn an angel? A fallen angel? That is soooo cool!
Mike: No, Brittany, I doubt that. There is no such thing. And Finn's back, that made my day :DDDDDDDD
Tina: I want details. HOW is this possible? WHERE is he? CAN WE SEE HIM?!
Blaine: Kurt told me he wanted to fly to Aussie with Rachel, but I didn't take him serious. Now I regret that… BUT WE ARE SO COMING OVER, KURT! FINN IS MY FREAKING BROTHER IN LAW!
Sam: Finn's alive? And YAY, the outback! Can we meet Crocodile Dundee on our way back? That day seems to get better and better *_* *_*
Santana: There is no Crocodile Dundee dumbass… *facepalm*
Kurt decided to put his phone on silent mode for a while, but he quickly texted his parents the address of the hospital. Then, he slipped his phone into his bag and went back to Finn and the others.
