Sorry for the slow updates, school, holidays, etc. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. I struggled with deciding whether to put this under Klaine, Finchel or Furt, but I decided on Furt because it's Finn's POV and it focuses a lot on Kurt. All three, plus a Blaine/ Finn friendship, will be featured heavily. The New Directions will be in the next chapter, as I was asked in reviews when they'd appear. Merry Christmas to all my readers. I'd like reviews as a Christmas present ;)
Finn turned to Rachel once they'd left the room. "I need you to help me with something."
Rachel gulped looking at Finn. "What is it?"
Finn took a deep breath and handed Rachel some shears. "I need you to shave my hair off for me."
Rachel looked at the shears in her hand. "W-What! Oh my God Finn! Wait..are you doing this for Kurt?"
Finn nodded. "I don't want him to be alone in this. I know I'll look terrible, but it WILL grow back."
Rachel sighed looking at the shears. "You know that I love you right?" She smiled a little. "I'll do it."
Finn kissed Rachel and sat down. "Thanks babe. I'll miss it, but at least he won't be the only one."
Rachel turned on the shears and made a swipe on the side of Finn's head. "Tell me if it hurts, okay?"
Finn gulped. He couldn't believe he was actually letting Rachel do this. But then again, Kurt could die. Finn's hair would grow back within a few months. But Kurt... Kurt was in there fighting for his life. Finn began feeling a rush of guilt as he heard the buzzer make its way around, but he was really crying for Kurt.
"Are you okay?" Rachel asked.
"I can't lose my brother," Finn said. "I can't. Everything I did to him is coming back... the basement incident... when I refused to defend him to the football players..."
Rachel kissed Finn's forehead. "It'll be okay." She turned the shears back on and made a big swipe down the center of Finn's scalp. Finn winced.
"That hurt," Finn said. "But if that hurts- how bad will it be for him when he goes through chemo - it's a lot more powerful."
"It's Kurt, he's strong," Rachel said. She sighed and turned off the shears. "I'm done. And actually, you look hot."
Finn looked at Rachel. "Really?" He looked down at the piles of his hair on the floor and began scooping it up, putting it in a ziplock bag.
Rachel nodded smiling and hugged Finn. "I'm proud of you."
Finn gave Rachel a kiss. "Let's go back now, shall we?"
Rachel nodded and smiled. They went back to the room and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Blaine called.
Rachel smiled and kissed Finn's cheek before walking in. "Mm Kurt, Finn did something..."
Blaine looked at Rachel. "What?"
Kurt narrowed his eyes at Rachel. "Did he get in trouble."
Rachel shook her head and opened the door, letting Finn in. Kurt had yanked all of his own hair out and was now wearing the hat Blaine had brought. When Kurt saw Finn, his jaw dropped. "Y-Your hair..."
Finn smiled. "What about it?" He held up the bag with the hair in it. "It's in here."
Kurt laughed a little. "W-Why you did it..? I mean you love your hair... Rachel loves it."
Finn smiled. "So you aren't the only one. How are you feeling?"
"Better now. You're awesome ya know?" Kurt said.
Rachel smirked. "I tell him how awesome and how hot he is every day."
Kurt bit his lips and smiled a little. "Finn..I feel like crap right now..I mean you loved your hair.."
"Rachel loves it more and she's the one who shaved it," Finn said. "Are you really feeling like crap? Anything I can get? Ice, food, drink?"
"Can you go get me a drink?" Kurt asked.
"Of course," Finn said. He went to the vending machine with Blaine. At the vending machine, Blaine began breaking down again. "Finn- he's so scared."
"So am I," Finn said. "But nobody's ever going to be alone in this. The Glee club will be there for us when we go back, I know it."
"Have you told anyone?" Blaine asked.
Finn gulped. "Yeah, I texted all the Glee guys... Rachel texted the girls. Mr. Schue's having an emergency meeting tomorrow, but the four of us are excused."
"I wish there was something I could do," Blaine said.
"Being a good boyfriend is doing something," Finn said. "I don't know how I'm getting through this. I'm terrified all the time."
"How's the school going to react?" Blaine asked.
"All I know is if the Glee club sticks together, we'll all get through this," Finn said. As they began heading back to the room, Finn heard his phone go off. He looked to see a text from Sam. "Is Kurt okay?"
Finn started typing a reply when a text from Puck came up. "When can the rest of us come see him?"
"Who's that?" Blaine asked.
"It's Puck and Sam," Finn said. "Maybe I'll stop at the meeting tomorrow... but if you want to stay here with Kurt I understand."
"I really do, thanks Finn," Blaine said.
"I'll talk to Rachel and see what she wants to do," Finn said.
"I'm worried about the next round of chemo," Blaine said. "This chemo's really powerful. Only his first round and his hair's already falling out - but I think you made that easier already for him."
"I didn't want him to be the only one, you know?" Finn said. "Rachel was actually really flexible about letting me do it, she didn't protest at all."
"We're so lucky to have you and Rachel with us in this," Blaine told Finn. They shared a look before going back in, knowing that while things were tough, they'd just begun.
