Chapter 4- Action


One thing to know about Kurt Hummel: he detests action movies.

One thing to know about Finn Hudson: he adores action movies.

So when the two settle down to have a movie night, they cannot possibly decide on what movie or even the genre that they're going to watch. One thing about their relationship: they have to decide together. They used to take turns, but their schedules got messed up and they couldn't remember whose turn it was to pick so they scrapped that in favour of a completely mutual decision.

They had gotten together in sophomore year of high school. The more Finn was around Kurt, the more he fell for him. Kurt was obviously enamoured with the jock, so them getting together was not an issue. Finn had taken some crap for it, but he had come out of the closet and proudly walked down the corridors hand in hand and Kurt could not have been happier.

That being said, Burt and Carole had never found each other without Kurt's interaction. Once their parents had met, they hadn't fallen in love so Kurt and Finn could be together without distraction.

Well, that is, until movie night.

"Honey, come on, let's watch Moulin Rouge! It's a musical and it has action in it!" Kurt debated, holding up one of his favourite DVD's with a hopeful smile. Usually, Kurt had Finn wrapped tightly around his little finger, but not when it came to movies. Finn always remaining unrelenting and stubborn with his choices.

"Kurt, we've watched that movie about 80 times this year. I think we need a break." Finn shot back. Kurt raised an eyebrow. It was a completely valid point, so Kurt tossed the movie onto the 'no' pile which so far consisted of every movie-musical Kurt owned, sans a few that Kurt hadn't gotten to yet.

"Rocky Horror?" Kurt smirked, knowing that Finn would be reminded of their junior year almost-production. It had been seven years since that fiasco, but it had never left Finn's mind.

"Baby, I love you, but unless you want me to curl up in a ball and cry, we're not watching that." Finn shuddered. Kurt winked.

"I know we're not, ever since Mr Schue pictured me as Frank, I can't watch it. I just wanted to make you squirm a little. Okay, what about Les Miserables?" Kurt held up his next choice.

"Okay, it's awesome, but I would rather not spend tonight crying about Gavroche. That little dude was so cute." Finn retorted. Kurt rolled his eyes.

"Fine, I hate to say this, but you pick something." Kurt braced himself.

"Okay, cool, uh, Zero Dark Thirty?" Finn posed the question.

"I'm breaking up with you. Whilst I simply adore Queen Chastain, that movie is one of hers I will not put myself through. You know I get scared during war and gun films."

"I know, and it's always adorable when you bury your head into my chest whenever somebody pulls the trigger."

"It's scary!" Kurt protested.

"I know, baby. I guess that rules out The Hurt Locker, Argo and Schindler's List."

"My best friend is Jewish, Finn, that film offends me. It's interesting that you've mentioned all of those that won Academy Awards for Best Picture." Kurt was obsessed with the Academy Awards and had gone through a period of watching every single movie that won Best Picture. He had done it as much as he could, too.

"Yeah, and those are the ones that you skipped from your list." Finn quipped.

"Only because they're scary!" Kurt stuck his tongue out.

"Action movies are the best, Kurt."

Kurt sighed and Finn just knew that he had indeed stepped in it. Kurt was about to rant about action movies.

"Finn Hudson-Hummel," Kurt began (oh yeah, they had legally gotten married). "Forgive me if I fail to see the appeal of action movies when the main feature is the time and effort spent on how real the bullet wound is. Considering that my favourite movies focus heavily upon the plotlines and character development, I just cannot see myself enduring many action movies where all that the director's care about are special effects and making 'a really cool explosion'. That's well and good for you and other action movie buffs, but I prefer to stick to my romance films and my movie-musical features because of the elements of tragedy and romance and suspense. I even enjoy the occasional horror, even though they're terribly predictable and you can always tell when things are going to happen. Remember when we watched The Conjuring with Rachel and Blaine? I tapped my foot everytime something 'scary' was about to happen and they still jumped a foot in the air. They're predictable but even they are better than action movies. Whilst I do enjoy a good hand combat fight sequence, action movies are a complete waste of budget. Those Transformers movies that Sam loves are just the worst things to happen to the world of cinema since Gigi with Affleck and Lopez. Because that was just terrible."

"Are you done? I want to change your mind about car movies."

"Oh please, I'm just getting started and you've just reminded me of something I hate just as much as action movies. Action movies with cars in them. The Fast and Furious movies? Need for Speed? Ugh, the closest I'll get to enjoying something like that is Mario Kart. Trust me, I'm all for cars. I help out with the recently opened New York branch of Hummel's Tires and Lube whenever I have time because I love repairing cars. But those movies have no substance and I would rather spend my money at the movies going to see something that doesn't have people flinching at the sound of tires rubbing against the road surfaces. And those car stunts? Excuse me, they never actually happen. People just get crushed and fall off cliffs, they don't survive and keep driving. So I am going to text Tina and ask her what we should watch."

"Man, I'm looking forward to the next time someone pisses you off and it's not me. I love when you go all diva on me, sweetheart." Finn pulled Kurt into his lap and kissed his neck affectionately.

"Finn, now is not the time. Tina just texted back."

"What did she say?" Finn said, curious.

Kurt just shook his head and rolled his eyes, handing the phone to Finn whilst he readjusted himself on Finn's lap.

Finn just chuckled. "Porn movies? That is so Tina."

"Hm, well I guess now is the time." Kurt reconsidered and kissed his husband fully on the lips, straddling him on the chair.

"See, they do stuff like this in some action movies." Finn protested.

"Don't ruin the moment, Finn." Kurt said, muffled, as he buried his face into Finn's neck and planted kisses up and down his jawline. Finn sat back, content to not ruin the moment. He guessed that this would be another unsuccessful movie night after all.


Author's Note: Writing this actually reminded me of how much I wanted Kinn to happen in Season 1. They would've been amazing in my opinion. If only Finn was gay then. Anyway, review!
