Chapter 6: You Can't Always Get What You Want

...

Surprisingly it did not take Finn long to catch on to the steps that Kurt had been helping him through. Sure, the taller boy stumbled from time to time in the beginning, but as time went on it seemed he was growing increasingly comfortable with the routine. Kurt tried not to think too much on the fact that the times when Finn slipped up, it wasn't because he wasn't grasping the concept or unable able to follow the rhythm of the music (at least not entirely), but because he was staring at the smaller boy. Kurt kind of liked that. For the first time, ever, he had Finn alone.

"You're so good." Finn stated, amazed as he watched Kurt run through the moves one more time by himself.

Kurt smiled and despite his best attempts to control himself he could feel his cheeks flush, "Thanks, Finn." Kurt took a deep breath and made his way over to the couch (that they had moved earlier to make room to practice) and sat down.

Finn took a seat next to him, "Seriously, man. I mean I knew you were good after the whole Single Ladies thing...but, wow. I wish I could move my body as well as you do yours." Kurt blushed furiously at Finn's words and at the fact that Finn's eyes traveled over the entirety of his body and then back to meet his gaze.

"I'm sure you can." Kurt responded, dazed.

"Nah," Finn chuckled and leaned back into the couch, "but it's okay. I'm okay with just watching you."

Kurt's mind was going blank, not to mention if the conversation continued he was sure he was going to blush so hard that his face would burst. "Thank you. That's sweet, Finn." Kurt stood and looked down at the other teen, "Would you like some water, I don't know about you, but I am parched after all of that." Finn nodded with a smile and Kurt returned, "Okay, I will be right back." With that he sauntered off into the kitchen.

First thing's first.

Before he made a move to actually open the refrigerator he stopped and checked his reflection in the smooth surface of the door's metal. He had barely begun to sweat (he made sure to turn the air on before they started), his hair was still perfectly in place, and the tight sweater-shirt he wore clung to his upper body, down to the middle of his thighs; where the bottom of his black exercise tights peeked through and stopped just above his knees. Kurt did a quick spin to make sure his butt looked as good as it should and with a satisfied smile he opened the door and pulled out two bottle of Nestle water.

Kurt practically bounced back to living room, "Here you go, Finn." Kurt made sure to stand right in front of the other boy and it did not escape his attention that Finn's eyes diverted down, taking in the view of his well shaped legs.

"Thanks, buddy." Finn's voice was a little tight and he seemed a little uncomfortable. He twisted off the top and took a long swig.

Kurt beamed, "Not a problem." Kurt followed suit and took a sip from his own bottle before setting it down on the table near the couch. "So, you want to try it one more time? I just want to be sure you have got this down, so you can go in to practice next week and blow them away."

"You mean so you can brag to Rachel about how well you taught me?" Finn corrected jokingly.

Kurt blushed again, lighter this time. "Finn Hudson, I am shocked that you think I would sink so low as to-"

"Oh, save it, Kurt." Finn said with a laugh as he stood, readying himself to go again."You ready?"

Kurt nodded with a big smile and they took their places next to each other in the middle of the room and Kurt began the count, "Okay, 5...6...7..8..." With that they began to step side to side and on the fourth count Kurt turned toward Finn and Finn should have turned in the same directions, but instead he turned toward Kurt. Both boys were already into the next move of taking a step, but because of Finn's mistake they collided, hard. Being as Kurt was only half Finn's size, Finn's body easily over powered the other and they fell; wit Kurt landing on his back and Finn landing on top of him.

"Oof!" Kurt exclaimed as they hit the ground.

"Kurt, are you okay?" Finn was worried as he looked down at the boy below him. Kurt was obviously dazed.

Kurt took several moments to shake off the impact and he looked up to find Finn still on top of him, his face heavy with concern. "Yeah..." Kurt wiggled a little, trying to shake off the collision, but at the same time, causing his body to rub against Finn's. Kurt froze as Finn's face went from concerned to surprised. Neither boy made any move to adjust their position or even stand up. Finn's breath was ragged and heavy, while Kurt had forgotten how to breathe.

"Kurt-" Finn started, but was interrupted as Kurt's lips pressed up against his. "Mm!" Finn's eyes closed and he couldn't help but to kiss back. Kurt's lips were soft and he tasted like berries and lemonade.

The kiss wasn't heated or passionate, just soft and simple and...romantic.

Before the realization of what he had just done hit Kurt, Finn pulled back and looked down at the stylish young man, "Kurt." He said softly.

"Oh, god." Kurt was horrified.

He had not just done that. He couldn't have.

Kurt scrambled to get from underneath the quarterback and found his way to his feet; Finn standing up a few seconds later. "Finn, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to...I wasn't think...please...I'm sorry." Kurt looked away from Finn's gaze. He was too ashamed and too afraid of what was to come.

"Hey," Finn stepped closer and cautiously put a hand on Kurt's left arm and used his other to pull his face towards him, "It's okay. I'm sorry, too."

Kurt looked up into Finn's eyes and he found that the usual blankness that filled his eyes was replaced with genuine emotion. "I'm sorry." Kurt whispered and frowned.

"Kurt, you know I think you're awesome." Kurt looked away, "Hey, Kurt, come on...look at me." Reluctantly the smaller boy looked back at him, "I know how you feel about me and I know it probably doesn't help much, but for whatever it is worth, if I was gay, even a little bit," he paused his face kind and serious, "it'd be you." He used the hand that had been clutching Kurt's chin to lightly brush the side of his face.

Kurt continued to look up into Finn's eyes. There were so many things he felt in that moment, so many things he wanted; he didn't know what to say. It was risky, but he did the only thing he could think of: he leaned up and once again lightly pressed his lips to Finn's. Only this kiss was lighter and said even more than the one before it.

Finn didn't really have a chance to respond before Kurt pulled away and when his eyes opened the darker haired boy was barely smiling and he spoke before Finn could, "Thank you."

Finn nodded and smiled and said nothing as he pulled Kurt into a tight hug.

Kurt did not hesitate in responding to the friendly action. He pressed the side of his face into Finn's shirt and breathed in his scent.

Kurt laughed internally as he thought back to a set of lyrics:

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes, you get what you need

And at this moment he knew as long as he had Finn, even just as a friend, he had what he needed for now.

Author's Note: So, that was that chapter. I hope no one is upset, I love Puck and Kurt, but I am always going to be a Finn and Kurt fan, too, but don't worry. Puck will be back in the next chapter. Please, review and let me know what you think! Thank you and Happy New Year, everyone!!
