Chapter 2
So Close, Yet So Far Apart

Kurt saw him. He knew he had spotted Finn practically run past him and Blaine while they were walking back to their apartment. After having a huge crush on him for nearly all their of sophomore year of high school, Finn was permanently on Kurt's radar, which, when you think about it, was pretty creepy since they were stepbrothers now. He knew that if that had really been Finn, he was going to have to follow him.

"Blaine," Kurt said, stopping. Blaine turned and looked at Kurt with a look that was a mixture of concern and his usual lovesick puppy face. "That man that just passed us… that was Finn."

Blaine was genuinely confused. What in the world would Finn be doing in New York? Nonetheless, he followed Kurt in the direction that Finn had gone. "Are you sure it was him?" Blaine questioned as the pair walked back into the parking lot, "Why would Finn be here in New York?"

"Trust me, it was him," Kurt replied, and then mumbled something about being on his radar, which Blaine decided he would ask about later. "He probably came to see Rachel, and by the looks of it, it ended badly."

Soon, the two men spotted Finn's car still sitting in one of the parking spaces on the far side of the lot. It was pretty difficult to miss the beat up, tomato red pick-up truck in the midst of mostly black and silver cars. The man inside the truck was so busy talking on his cell phone that he didn't notice Kurt and Blaine approaching his car until he heard a soft knock on the window.

Finn raised his head and caught sight of his stepbrother giving him a sad smile from the other side of the glass, as well as his curly-haired boyfriend standing next to him. Damn, Finn thought. He should have known better than to think Kurt wouldn't go after him. He sighed and said something to the person on the other end of the call, (Kurt figured it had been Carole, since he had seen Finn mouth the word 'mom'.) then hung up and stepped out of his truck, slipping the phone into the back pocket of his jeans.

"Finn Hudson," Kurt began, placing his hands on his hips, "What on Earth made you think you could come all the way to New York and not inform your own stepbrother!" Finn looked down, feeling a bit guilty, but Kurt just chuckled and pulled him into a hug. Finn hugged back, grateful that he had such an awesome stepbrother. Blaine merely smiled at them, thinking about how he would give anything to have a family bond as strong as Kurt and Finn's.

When the two brothers finished their embrace, Kurt stared at Finn expectantly until he spilled everything that had happened during his encounter with Rachel. Urged by Kurt to give excruciating detail, Finn explained the entire conversation, right down to the part about Kurt and Blaine sharing a bed. Kurt blushed at that statement, and Blaine nearly exploded into a fit of giggles before he was glared at by Kurt.

"So, you didn't book a hotel? Don't you dare think for one second that I'm going to let you be in New York and not stay with me!" Kurt said once Finn's story was concluded, "Rachel will get over it. Anyway, all she's been doing for the last 2 weeks is rifling through scrapbooks of you two and singing sad love songs to them."

Finn laughed bitterly and Blaine added, "I have an old sleeping bag from when my dad used to take me camping," He said with his usual bright smile, but there was a tinge of pain in his voice at the mention of his dad, "I know it's not that much, but trust me, the carpeting is pretty soft! And you know, it'd be less awkward than sleeping with Rachel."

"Thanks, guys. It means a lot that you care about me so much," Finn said, smiling, "I'm gonna have to call mom back though…"

Kurt scoffed and grabbed Finn by the arm, "No, I'll call dad and Carole later. You should just get some sleep. I bet you're tired from all the crying." Finn was about to retort with 'I wasn't crying that much,' but he was too busy being dragged by his much shorter brother back to their apartment as Blaine just followed along, still beaming like a fool. Finn began to wonder if that kid ever stopped smiling.

Kurt turned the key and opened the door with a flourish and held it open for Finn and Blaine to step inside once they reached their destination. The boys were still laughing about some joke Blaine had cracked, but they ceased their giggling when Rachel stepped into the front room from the kitchen.

She certainly looked surprised when she saw Finn standing there for the second time that day. "Back so soon, I see?" she said simply, quickly shooting Kurt a 'Traitor!' look.

Kurt grinned back at her and pushed Finn closer to her; they would have collided had Rachel not taken a step back. Finn stumbled and turned his head to give Kurt the same look Rachel had given him. "Don't pretend like you're not excited to see each other. We're all aware of how in love you two are!" Kurt smirked, putting emphasis on the words 'in love,' "Finn's going to stay with us while he's in town. You don't have a problem with that, do you, Rachel?"

Rachel didn't hesitate to respond with, "Actually, yes, Kurt. I do have a problem with it!" She clenched her fists and stormed out in her typical 'diva fit' way. Finn expected to hear a door slam, but he didn't. Rachel was never really one for slamming doors when she was upset.

Finn rubbed the back of his neck and checked the time on his phone; it was 9:38. It was way too early for any of them to want to go to sleep, but Finn really just didn't feel like hanging out. "I think I should get some sleep, guys. I'm going to need plenty of energy for whatever you guys are gonna drag me out to do tomorrow," Finn chuckled sadly, and Blaine nodded, walking into his and Kurt's room to search for that sleeping bag he had mentioned.

Kurt was worried about his brother. He was acting so sensitive lately, especially over this whole Rachel problem. Frankly, though, Kurt didn't really know what to do. He was caught in the middle. On one hand, Rachel was one of his best friends and he had come to New York with her to support her in her quest to become a star, which also indirectly meant that he supported her break up with Finn. On the other hand, Finn was his stepbrother and they had had each other's backs ever since his dad and Carole had gotten married. He really wanted Finn to be happy, but he wanted Rachel to be happy too.

Finn and Kurt just stood in the middle of the living room in an awkward silence while they waited for Blaine to return with the sleeping bag. They were both lost in thought. Finn's brain kept telling him to let Rachel go because he loved her. But his stupid heart wouldn't let him give up. Almost without his consent, Finn's heart began to formulate a genius plan to win Rachel over in the span of a week.

But then what? Even if they did get back together, Finn still lived in Ohio and was attending Ohio State, while Rachel was here in the big city going to Juilliard. All of these thoughts were really starting to make Finn's head hurt, and he wished that Blaine would just hurry up with that damn sleeping bag.

Luckily for him, the curly-haired man soon reappeared, the sleeping bag and a pillow in hand. He unrolled it and spread it flat on the carpet in the corner of the living room, then fluffed the pillow and set it down. "There you go, Finn!" Blaine, once again, smiled brightly, "I hope you feel better in the morning. Sweet dreams." Blaine walked over to Kurt and took his hand, giving his boyfriend a smile that said, 'He needs to be alone right now.'

Kurt complied with Blaine's wishes and the two walked hand in hand back to their room, but not before Kurt turned his head to face Finn and mouthed 'We'll talk later.'

Blaine flopped down onto the bed when they got into their room, and Kurt closed to door lightly. "I know you're worried about him." Blaine said as Kurt sat next to him, "But we can't really make Rachel love him."

"But Rachel already loves him, Blaine. She just can't handle a long distance relationship," Kurt replied, "I don't blame her; I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't see you or kiss you."

Blaine smiled lovingly and pressed a quick, chaste kiss to Kurt's lips. "I know, me either. But it's heartbreaking to see how lonely they are without each other." Blaine continued, "Maybe for now, they should just be friends. It's better than nothing, right?"

Kurt folded his arms and sighed, "I'd like to believe that they could just be friends, but with them, there's always so much sexual tension when they're not dating." He huffed, resting his head on his pillow and staring at the white ceiling, then the white walls. "We really need to add some color to this damn apartment." Kurt said, changing the subject.

Blaine laughed and wrapped an arm around Kurt's waist. "Yeah, it's pretty bland in here, but I think we should get some furniture first, don't you think?"

Kurt's head turned to face Blaine, and he couldn't resist laughing at the goofy smile on his face. "Blaine Anderson, you smile way to much," he said, raising one eyebrow.

"Yeah, but you still love me!" Blaine beamed. He knew that Kurt loved him; he was confident in his statement. Besides, they had said 'I love you' to each other plenty of times before.

"That I do." Kurt responded with a sweet smile before tangling his fingers in Blaine's curls (He thanked whatever was holy that Blaine hadn't put a ridiculous amount of gel in his hair today) and kissing him. The kiss wasn't too passionate, but it definitely conveyed passion.

Blaine pulled away after a few seconds and chuckled. "Hey, we haven't even changed into out pajamas yet," he said, and for a moment, Kurt looked slightly annoyed that Blaine had ended the kiss so soon.

Both men felt a bit guilty that they were happy and content in their relationship whilst Finn and Rachel were having so many issues. They quickly changed into their pajamas, and after Kurt called his dad and Carole to inform them that Finn would be staying with them, they spent the rest of the night talking and listening to Rachel sing along loudly to some sad break up song until they fell asleep.

Finn heard Rachel singing too, and it made him cry a little. He would never tell anyone that he cried over Rachel's singing, but he was silently weeping because it reminded him of how much talent she had and how she deserved to be a big Broadway star. But mostly it reminded him that she still loved him but couldn't be with him. And it kind of broke his heart.

Well, there you go! Reviews are always helpful, and I will love you forever if you leave one!
