NOTES: Ok, so I've gotten 5 followers and 1 favorite since I've posted the first chapter. Not bad, as this is my first multi-chaptered fanfic. For the record, this work is complete. I plan on posting a chapter a day, and it will only be 5 chapters long, but for my first multi-chaptered fic, I'm thinking that's not bad. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew and it's not exactly my usual Badass-Kurt fic. There are plenty more of those to come in the future. Anyway, I'll shut up now. Merry Christmas readers! Enjoy Chapter 2!

Operation: Brothers

It wasn't much longer before both boys were safe at home, getting ready to take care of super-secret spying business. Only after would they begin their homework and try to play innocent for when their parents would return home.

Once Kurt unlocked the front door, the boys went to their joint room down in the basement.

"Finn," Kurt stated as he gently sat his messenger bag on top of his bed. He looked at his almost-brother who had dropped his bag on the floor before flopping down on his bed. "Please pull up the website. I'm going to write out a script."

Finn jumped to his feet and went to his desk. "Sure, dude," he said as he opened his laptop, booted it up and sat down, waiting patiently for everything to load.

"So," Kurt was sitting at his own desk with a notebook and a pen. "I was thinking we could go to our morning classes and during lunch, get ready and take our field trip, skipping our afternoon classes. What do you say?"

"…Skip our afternoon classes?" Finn asked hesitantly. He turned to look at Kurt in surprise, but Kurt was still looking at his notebook, writing down what he needed to say. "Sounds like a solid plan to me."

"The students will probably still be in their classes," Kurt pressed the pen to his lips in thought, "but we'll be there long enough for them to get out and move onto any extracurriculars they might be heading to, such as glee rehearsal."

Finn just nodded along as he finally got to the website he was searching for. "Stealthy. Awesome."

Kurt finally turned away from his notebook, looking at Finn, he asked, "Do you have the phone number?"

"Right here, bro." Finn pointed at the screen and smiled in achievement.

"Excellent." Kurt put his notebook down, went upstairs and grabbed the house phone. He made quick work of coming back downstairs to their bedroom and moved to stand behind Finn. He looked at the phone number and made the call.

"Dalton Academy. This is Gina. How many I help you?"

Kurt picked up his notebook, switched his voice to a slightly higher pitch and started in. "Ah, yes. Hello Gina. My name is Carroll Hummel and I'm calling in regards to your school. I was wondering if I could ask for some information."

Kurt turned to his bed to sit down. He glanced at Finn who was staring back at him, openmouthed. Kurt smiled at him.

"Of course, Mrs. Hummel. What information is it in which you are interested?"

"My husband, Burt, and I are thinking of sending our youngest son to your Academy and I was first wondering if you take mid-year transfers."

"Not always, no. It depends on the circumstances."

Kurt adopted a saddened expression, despite the fact that the secretary couldn't see him. "Oh well, let me delve a little further into our story. Our youngest son, Kurt, he gets bullied at his school and," Kurt put on his best sigh "it's gotten really bad recently. We have cause for concern that it's just going to escalate and I'm sure you know," Kurt placed his hand on his heart, "because you work with boys yourself, it's like pulling teeth trying to get him to open up to us." Kurt added a matronly giggle for added affect.

"Oh yes, ma'am. I do. I really do."

"We don't want to send him away from us, but we will if we have to. We'll do what we must to protect our son." Kurt looked to Finn and Finn was chewing his lip thoughtfully, looking confused by Kurt's speech. Kurt just shook his head at him.

"I understand your frustration and fortunately, here at Dalton Academy, we have a very strict zero tolerance harassment policy. Nothing gets by us."

Kurt nodded along to everything the woman was saying. He breathed an audible sigh of relief and exclaimed through the phone. "That's wonderful. That's exactly what I wanted to hear."

"Yes, ma'am. Well, although we're not always able to take mid-year transfers, we do sometimes make exceptions. Why don't you come and take a tour of our school?"

"Oh!" Kurt exclaimed in genuine surprise. This'll be easier than he thought. "My husband and I would love to do that! In fact, we were banking on it. Would it be possible to schedule an appointment for tomorrow around 2:30?"

"Most definitely!" Kurt smirked in achievement.

"We mustn't waste time with this matter. Surely you understand?"

"Of course. I have you down for 2:30 tomorrow, Mrs. Hummel. Can't wait to meet you and your husband."

"You as well, Gina. Until tomorrow."

And with that, Kurt hung up. He looked up to Finn who was staring at him in awe.

"Dude, that…was….awesome! You sounded just like a mom. How did you come up with that bullying idea though?"

"It's called acting Finn, and I figured for the sake of an immediate transfer, what else would make them want to take me?" Kurt sat the phone down on his bed.

Finn dropped his line of questioning. "Oh this is going to be perfect tomorrow. I can't wait!"

"Yes, well, do you have homework?" Kurt changed the subject and stood up, rubbing the wrinkles out of his pants.

Finn grumbled from his desk as he slouched down, "Yeeaaahhhh…"

"What subjects?" asked Kurt on his way to his closet.

"English and Math."

Kurt nodded as he looked through his suits. "I finished all mine at school today. I can help you with yours."

Finn smiled gratefully. "Thanks, Kurt. You're the best little almost-brother ever."

"Uh huh. Now do what you can while I pick an outfit for the both of us to wear tomorrow and what you get stuck on, I'll help you with it after. Deal?"

Finn reached for his book bag. "Sure."

Later that night, Finn lay in his bed fast asleep as Kurt sat at his desk, looking over his laptop by lamplight. Staring at the web page in front of him, Kurt couldn't help but be impressed by the pictures in the Dalton Academy virtual photo gallery. He looked at every picturesque building, every face, and every smile and just shook his head with a sigh. There's no way a place like this could exist. A place where different boys from different walks of life could communicate and interact in perfect harmony? That only happens in New York City…or San Francisco. Kurt was interrupted from his thoughts when he heard some rustling of sheets behind him.

"Are you going to sleep anytime soon?" Finn asked Kurt tiredly from his bed. Kurt kept staring at his computer screen. After a brief pause, Kurt answered "In a moment."

"What are you even doing?" Finn rubbed his eyes tiredly. "Tomorrow should be fine. We took care of the appointment and everything. What more do we need to know?"

"Background information, Finn. I'm just going over some background information. I'm doing what Puck told us to do, so that if we're asked any questions tomorrow, we'll seem more genuine."

Kurt was answered by a soft snore. Glancing at his almost-brother, Kurt took in his dopey expression, even in sleep. Finn was sprawled all over the place, the covers half on, half off his body. He looked like a giant four year old.

Sighing, Kurt turned once again toward his computer screen. "Now," he grabbed his mouse, clicking on the 'About Us' tab on Dalton's website. "Let's see more about this zero-tolerance harassment policy."

The next morning, Finn and Kurt were sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast while Burt finished his cup of coffee. Carol had already left for her shift at the hospital.

Burt stood up and putting the cup in the sink, he looked at the boys and said "Well, I'm off to work. See you guys when I get home." With that said he walked over to Kurt and kissed his head, murmuring "Love ya," to which Kurt replied the same. Burt then squeezed Finn's shoulder and walked out the door. When the front door closed, Kurt and Finn both looked to each other.

"You have the outfit I picked out for you yesterday ready to go, correct?" Kurt asked Finn.

The taller teen nodded his head and stood up, dropping his cereal bowl in the sink. "I packed it last night. I just need to grab it, and we can go to school."

Kurt followed his almost-brother's lead and put his plate in the sink as well. They went to their shared room. Picking up their packed clothes for the afternoon and their book bags, they were ready to go.

The morning classes that each boy had to attend were the longest morning classes either had ever experienced. Finn was so excited about that afternoon's super-secret spying mission, he wasn't really able to concentrate. Should he wear his shades while they were touring the inside of the building's or shouldn't he? It would certainly add to the badassness of the situation.

Kurt was much the same as Finn, but he wasn't excited. He was anxious. Even if he and Finn were able to get through the whole tour completely undetected, there's no telling whether or not they'll even find the Warbler's and even if they did, what's to stop them from finding out who they were? For all Kurt knew, the Warbler's could have done some background research too. Finn is the male lead for Gaga's sake. They're not exactly being as stealthy as they'd like to be, that's for sure. And another thing: If the Warbler's have done their research and know who Finn and Kurt are, what's to say they won't beat them up immediately upon sight? Kurt sighed.

The lunch bell rang. Kurt and Finn met up in the hallway by their lockers to get their change of clothes they had stored that morning, before walking into the men's bathroom, going to their respectable stalls and changing outfits. When they walked out, Puck was waiting for them, leaning against the sinks, along with Mike, Sam and Artie who were standing by the door.

"Ready boys?" asked Puck.

Kurt immediately stepped past him and began to look himself over in the mirror. As he made a move to push his bangs back further, Sam came up behind him, looking him in the eyes through the mirror.

"Look," said Sam, whose previous school had been private. "Private school guys are just like any other guys. They're just like us."

"Like us?" Kurt scoffed derisively.

Sam ignored the derision. "Yes. Just like us. Remember that and you'll do fine." Kurt nodded his head and looked at Finn who nodded in return. They were ready.
