What Do You Suppose Would Happen?
Chapter Six
Kurt woke up from a restless night with a plan. He quickly put his ingenious scheme into place by texting his boyfriend. Finn replied, slightly confused about why Kurt would want to get to school early. A simple reply came that if he could shorten his morning skin care routine just to spend more time with him, then surely Finn could be ready at the appointed time. The other boy's response was less than eloquent but at least he did agree. Kurt quickly finished in fifteen minutes what generally took him an hour, with a smile on his face.
They had started riding together to school and neither parent seemed to think anything of it. Usually Kurt drove just because he was nervous riding in Finn's beat up Ford truck… he did want to make it to school safely. He pulled up to the Hudson house and texted Finn that he was there. He would normally go to the door, but then Carole would start up a conversation, and they only had a short amount of time as it was. He also didn't want to answer any questions about why they were leaving so early. Finn, on the other hand, could just play dumb…
Luckily, Finn rushed out with a bagel sticking out of his mouth as his hands tried to juggle his backpack, a soda, and some loose notebooks. Kurt just shook his head as he pushed the door open for him.
Finn mumbled something unintelligible as he scrambled to get in the Navigator.
"Excuse me?"
Stuffing the rest of his stuff in the backpack and putting his soda in the cup holder, Finn was finally able to remove the bagel from his mouth long enough to answer.
"I said, 'Thank you'."
Kurt shook his head again as he pulled out of the driveway and on to the main road.
"Kurt? Why are we leaving so early?"
"You'll see," he said.
"Are you mad at me Kurt?"
Kurt looked over at him then. "Why would I be mad, Finn?"
"Because I hung up on you last night… but dude, I had to."
"Finn, what have I told you about calling me dude? Just don't, okay?"
"Okay, Kurt … but are you mad?"
He let out an exasperated sigh. "I'm not mad, Finn. I was a little frustrated, but I'm fine now."
"I know, I'm sorry. My mom was listening though so I couldn't talk."
"Finn…"
"Yeah?"
"That's what texting is for!" Kurt glared at the other boy before returning his eyes to the road.
"I know, but texting is hard to do while… you know… and I was afraid I would still make noise."
"It's fine."
"You are mad, aren't you?"
Kurt sighed. "No Finn, I'm not mad. I'm just tired of pretending. I want to be able to kiss you without worrying about who might see us."
Finn started to open his mouth, and Kurt interrupted him.
"I know it was my idea."
They sat in silence for the remainder of the trip. Or at least until Finn noticed they weren't headed toward the school.
"Wait, Kurt you missed the turn."
"We're not going to school yet, Finn."
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see," Kurt said with a smirk.
Finn didn't have long to wait. It was a short trip to the deserted park. There were a few runners here and there but other than that, it was secluded. Kurt parked in a place that was somewhat shielded from view.
"So we're not here so you can yell at me right?"
"Of course not, Finn. I told you… I'm not angry."
"So what are we doing here?" Finn asked with a confused look on his face.
"I just want to spend some time with my boyfriend, okay?"
Finn seemed to relax then as he smiled at Kurt. "Okay, cool."
"I just really miss you Finn. I really, really hate this. It's so hard," Kurt sighed.
"So let's just tell everyone, Kurt."
"We can't," he said sadly as he took Finn's hand and kissed his palm. Finn cupped the side of Kurt's face, rubbing his thumb over his cheek.
"I miss you, too, Kurt."
As he looked into Finn's eyes, he was caught up in the emotions he saw there. As he leaned in, they were suddenly kissing and clinging to each other. Frantic little kisses … and then Finn was kissing his face, his chin, and his neck like a man starving …
"Kurt," he groaned before pulling him in for a deeper kiss which Kurt returned eagerly.
After a few minutes Kurt pulled away slightly, smirking at the dazed expression on his boyfriend's face. He maneuvered his body so he was straddling the other boy, pressing tightly against him.
Finn responded, trying to get as close to him as possible.
"Did you really miss me, Finn?" Kurt asked him while grinding against the other boy.
"Kurt," he whispered. "I need you so much." He gripped Kurt's thighs tightly.
Their kisses became more insistent, and Kurt could feel the familiar pressure building inside him.
Suddenly he pulled away.
"Wait, Finn. We have to stop." Kurt took a deep breath trying to clear his mind. He'd almost forgotten his plan.
"No…why…no…" Finn groaned.
"I have to meet Mercedes this morning. We're working on a song for Glee."
"What the hell, Kurt!"
"I'm sorry, Finn."
"I just don't get it. Why did you even bring me here if we couldn't stay?" He sounded really frustrated. But then he seemed to have a moment of lucidness. "Wait… this is about last night, isn't it? This is your way of getting back at me for hanging up on you."
Kurt didn't say anything, but he knew he had a guilty look on his face.
He thought Finn was going to be angry but then surprisingly, he smiled. Although actually, it was more of a smirk…
"So how's that working out for you, Kurt?" he said looking down at Kurt's obvious discomfort.
"Okay, so I didn't really think it out very well," he said squirming a little. "Shut up, Finn."
"Oh, Kurt. You're so cute when you're trying to be revengeful."
"I'm not sure that's even a word, Finn."
But the other boy was no longer listening. He pulled Kurt toward him once again, kissing him sweetly and biting at his lower lip. Kurt soon found he was again having difficulty thinking clearly.
"Call Mercedes," Finn said forcefully, and Kurt found he liked this side of the other boy. "Tell her you're not coming…"
"But…"
And right on time, Kurt's phone rang.
"Hello?" he said breathlessly.
"Kurt? Where the hell are you?" Mercedes voice could clearly be heard through the phone.
"Sorry, Mercedes. I got distracted."
As he said that Finn's hands moved causing him to be even more preoccupied.
"You're supposed to be here now, Kurt."
"I…kn…um" he was having trouble forming words as Finn ran his thumbs teasingly along the inside of Kurt's thighs.
"Are you even listening to me?" she asked, clearly annoyed.
"Yeah… I am…" He tried to focus as he attempted to push Finn's hands away. Unfortunately the other boy would not be deterred.
"Holy hell!" Kurt exclaimed as Finn's hand grazed along his erection.
"What happened?"
"I just… spilled something on my pants."
"Well, hurry up, Kurt. I'm tired of waiting for you."
"Okay…" and then Finn squeezed him through his jeans and all thought left the smaller boy.
"Oh, God Finn!" he moaned.
And suddenly there was nothing but quiet. Kurt slapped his hand over his mouth. Finn was doing the same thing… only trying not to laugh. He was sure Mercedes had her hand over her mouth, too… in shock!
Crap! What was he going to do now? They had tried so hard to keep anyone from finding out about them. He just wanted to keep it secret for a little longer. Mercedes was going to be so mad at him for not telling her. The silence seemed to stretch on until…
"Oh, Hell no!" she exclaimed angrily.
"Mercedes…"
"Just shut up and listen to me, Kurt. I drag myself to school at an ungodly hour so we can practice and all the time you're at home jerking off? You need to stop what you're doing and get your white ass down here right now…"
"Okay," he said weakly, not sure whether to be disturbed or happy that she had come to the wrong conclusion.
"And Kurt…Just a little tip? If you're in the middle of doing… well that, you don't answer the phone. What the hell's wrong with you, boy? I'm gonna need all kinds of therapy from this… you've scarred me for life, Kurt."
"Sorry," he mumbled, trying to placate the other girl. As soon as Mercedes hung up, Finn burst out laughing. Kurt smacked him on the arm.
Although, really… he had no one to blame but himself.
*)(*)(*)(*
Kurt was having a fantastically crappy day. He was more frustrated than ever, and while that was mostly his own fault, the fact that Finn seemed to be in such a good mood made it even worse. Every time he saw him Finn would give him a big grin. Kurt had to actually tell him to cut it out or everyone else would notice. Finn just smiled even wider causing Kurt to shake his head.
It wasn't just that either. Mercedes was really mad at him. Again, yes, it was his own fault. That didn't make it any easier. Why was it that his plans always seemed to backfire on him?
Mercedes finally started speaking to him again at lunch.
"Kurt, we need to talk."
Although he didn't want her to be mad at him anymore, he wasn't sure he wanted to talk to her about what happened that morning.
"Okay… look Mercedes, it was just a mistake. Can we just forget it? Please?" He gave her his pleading look… one she usually couldn't resist.
"No, we can't Kurt," she said. "I waited until there was no one else around, but we are going to talk about this. Really, all you have to do is listen."
"Fine. Go ahead," he said, glumly. He might as well get it over with.
"I want you to understand, Kurt, why I'm so pissed. It's not because I got up so early and you didn't show… or that now we aren't ready for our Glee song … or even that you were at home dancing by yourself when you should have been at school singing with me…"
"Okay…"
"It's because you still haven't gotten over your hopeless crush on our freakishly tall male lead who will probably be your brother in the near future. Really, Kurt… sweetie, what is it going to take for you to get over this?
"Gee, thanks Mercedes. Way to be supportive."
Kurt, you know I love you, but Finn is impossibly straight. You're just hurting yourself by continuing to crush on him."
And in that moment, he almost told her. Because she was his best friend… because he hated keeping anything from her… and really because she was just plain wrong about Finn, and Kurt loved being right.
But he didn't. She loved to gossip and while she would keep it a secret if he asked, she wouldn't be able to keep from making a fuss over the two of them, and someone was bound to notice. He would tell her as soon as they were ready to tell their parents. He silently promised her that.
"I do love him, Mercedes," he said honestly. "It's hard to just get over someone. I promise though that I will have more realistic expectations in the future, okay?"
"Okay, Kurt." She smiled at him then, and he realized how much he relied on her as a friend.
"Thanks for looking out for me," he said as he pulled her into a big hug.
She hugged him back. When she pulled away, she had a few tears in her eyes.
"Okay, love fest over. Let's get to class." And once again she was all business.
He pushed away his guilt feelings as he followed her to class.
Kurt's day improved somewhat after that. His best friend was talking to him again. It was Friday and the weekend promised to be Finn filled. And with Finn smiling at him all the time… well it was hard to be angry at him for too long.
They finally got a moment alone. Kurt had to go to the nurse's office in the middle of class because of a starting headache. He knew if he didn't get something it would become unbearable. He really didn't need that. The hallways were empty except for a very tall and handsome Finn Hudson.
"Hey Kurt," the other boy said with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Finn. What are you doing?"
"Oh, I had to run an errand for Coach Tanaka. What are you doing?"
"I'm going to the nurse's office to get some headache medicine."
"Sorry you're not feeling well. I'll walk with you."
Kurt just smiled at him and led the way down the hallway.
"So, can I see you after school?"
"I have to work in the shop…"
At Finn's suggestive smile, he knew he was thinking about their little fantasy.
"With my dad," Kurt added.
"Oh, well I can still stop by, right?"
"Sure , but I don't know if I will be able to talk much."
"That's okay, Kurt. I'll just enjoy watching you work." The smile was back on his face causing Kurt to blush.
"Aren't you and your mom coming over for dinner later?"
"Yeah, but I really want some alone time with you."
"I know, me too," Kurt said softly, touching the other boy's arm.
They reached the door to the nurse's office, and Kurt turned to face him.
"I wish I could hug you right now," Kurt said, "but someone might see."
And before he could stop him, Finn had gathered him into his arms, holding him tight.
"Don't care," Finn mumbled.
Kurt couldn't be mad at him for it. He needed the contact as much as Finn did. He squeezed him tightly for a second and then pulled away.
"I feel better already," he said with a smile.
"But wouldn't a kiss make everything alright?" Finn asked with a grin.
Kurt moved back just in case he tried to act on his impulse.
"See you later, Finn."
"Bye, Kurt," Finn said as he winked at him.
Kurt watched the other boy leave before turning to enter the door in front of him.
In his preoccupation with his boyfriend, Kurt missed the person at the other end of the hall watching them both intently.
