AN: Finally updated. Sorry. This is the last chapter except for the epilogue. Kind of depressing :(
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Glee.
Kurt and Finn had decided to meet up in the choir room the next day after school to practice their duet. They had decided to ignore what had happened the night before; neither of them had spoken another word about it to the other since. Kurt had done the job of burning a CD of I'll Cover You. He plugged in the black CD player, setting it on the piano. Finn sat awkwardly in a nearby chair, fiddling with his fingers.
"Okay, Finn. Let's give this a go." Kurt handed a few sheets of music to him. "You sing the parts that are highlighted in yellow."
Finn nodded and Kurt pressed play on the CD player. Finn subtly bopped his head to the beat, trying to get into it. Before long, Kurt started to sing with the instrumental, leaning against the piano...
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses...
Kurt noticed a faint blush on Finn's cheeks. Kurt shot Finn an encouraging smile and finished the verse...
Be my lover
And I'll cover you...
Kurt gestured to Finn, to remind him it was his turn. Finn cleared his throat and began to sing...
Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage
To lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you
Kurt walked over to Finn slowly, looking straight into his eyes. The smaller boy started singing along, harmonizing beautifully with Finn...
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease, you are my love...
Kurt took Finn's hands in his own gently, and yanked the tall boy out of his chair, both continuing to sing...
On life
Be my life!
"Now you spin me out." Kurt said, letting go of one of Finn's hands. Finn raised an eyebrow, but spun Kurt outwards. Kurt quickly spun himself back in (Finn responding with an "Oof.") and pressed his back against Finn's chest. Kurt took Finn's other hand again.
"Are you sure this is what they do in the musical?" Finn asked, seeming uncomfortable and nervous.
"Yep." Kurt replied confidently. It was like he had no fear of showing off his love. He could play it off like he was just getting into the song. Finn sighed.
"Sway." Kurt said, closing his eyes. Finn shifted his weight from foot to foot, awkwardly swaying, still holding Kurt. They continued to sing their duet...
Just slip me on
I'll be your blanket
Wherever, whatever
I'll be your coat
Kurt opened his eyes and tilted his head up to look at Finn...
You'll be my king
And I'll be your castle
Finn glanced at his music and then sang, looking down at Kurt...
No, you'll be my queen
And I'll be your moat
Kurt could feel Finn was tensing up. He unwrapped himself from Finn's arms and just simply held the other boy's big hands. He walked backwards around the room slowly, gently guiding Finn. Finn's eyes were as wide as they possibly could have been.
Sam had been wandering around tiredly. Damn this new school. Too big. He couldn't find where his locker even was. Sam walked right past the music room and froze as he heard singing through the door...
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are my love
On life
All my life
Sam recognized it immediately. Rent was one of his favorites. He pushed a brown bang back and pressed his ear against the door, listening.
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is
So with a thousand sweet kisses...
When you're cold and lonely...
I'll cover you...
With a thousand sweet kisses...
You've got one nickel only...
I'll cover you...
When you're worn out and tired...
When your heart has expired...
Oh lover
I'll cover you
Yeah
Oh lover...
I'll cover-
You.
Kurt froze from guiding Finn around and looked up at the jock. Finn wet his lips nervously and started to say something.
But it was too late.
In seconds, Kurt had pressed his lips hard against Finn's, unable to contain his feelings any longer. Finn stood there frozen with shock for what felt like forever...
And then it was over.
Finn pulled away, looking absolutely disgusted and horrified.
"Wh-what the hell, Kurt?" He shouted. Kurt stood there, his voice caught in his throat.
"I'm not GAY, okay? I'm never going to...to magically fall in love with you! I l-like girls. I love Rachel. I-I'm not gay, Kurt." Finn's voice shook. Kurt winced. Finn gave Kurt one last look and ran out of the room.
Sam watched as a tall jock ran out of the music room, wiping his mouth with his sleeve. Sam started to leave when he heard crying. Loud, painful sobs from inside the room. He peeked through the door and recognized the familiar face from the ice skating rink. Kurt. Kurt was on his knees on the floor, practically choking on his tears. He looked terrible. Sam ran over to him and sat down beside him. He gently placed a hand on Kurt's back.
"Hey...hey...it's alright..."
Kurt looked up. "S-Sam?"
Sam gave a warm smile and sang softly...
You okay, honey?
Kurt laughed slightly, wiping the tears from his face and sang in response...
I'm afraid so.
Sam rubbed Kurt's back...
They get any money?
Kurt sang...
No. Had none to get.
But they purloined my coat
Well you missed a sleeve!
Sam helped Kurt off the ground. Kurt gave him a smile of gratitude...
Thanks.
Sam sang perfectly...
Hell, it's Christmas Eve...
I'm Angel.
Kurt raised an eyebrow and took Sam's hand..
Angel?
Indeed.
