A/N: So, I decided to continue this - kind of. It's probably going to be a collection of sorts about Furt conversations about what happens on the show :P (not necessarily involving warm milk, though, like the next chapter) They may or may not be in chronological order, and this takes place after the end of BIOTA. Hopefully you'll enjoy it! :)
A knock on Finn's bedroom door signalled the arrival of his stepbrother, once more at 8:30 PM sharp. And with him came, of course, two mugs of warm milk.
"Thanks, Kurt," Finn said, taking one of the mugs in his own hands. He wasn't necessarily a big fan of milk, but it was nice, every once in a while. Apparently, Kurt had seen this as a sign to bring him some every single night. Except that time when he'd had a sleepover with Mercedes and Rachel. Finn hadn't been able to sleep very well that night – not that he'd ever admit that to Kurt or anything.
"Hey, Finn?" He looked up, not really knowing what Kurt needed. They would talk sometimes, yes, but it wasn't a normal thing to happen. "Do you know what Rachel could've meant when she told me she had to go… compose?"
For a second, Finn froze, and he hoped that Kurt hadn't noticed. He and Mercedes (and after that, the rest of New Directions as well) had somehow come to the agreement not to let Kurt in on the whole original songs thing they were planning for Regionals. Though he could probably keep a secret, it was still somewhat unsettling to have their competition know exactly what they were up to.
"No," he replied in the end. "No, I have no idea, Kurt. But – you never know what Rachel's planning, right?"
"Right," Kurt echoed, a strange look crossing his face. "No, you're right. Rachel's completely… unpredictable." He was positively frowning by now, which alarmed Finn somewhat.
"When did she tell you that?" he asked as casually as possible. "What did she say she was going to compose… about?" Now, Finn frowned for half a second before letting it go.
"This afternoon," Kurt responded, sitting down at the edge of Finn's bed. He stared down at his mug. "She – uh… you know what, you probably don't want to hear this."
"I'll probably hear about it anyway," Finn reminded him. "It's not like Rachel can keep something a secret for long, right?"
"I suppose you're right," Kurt muttered, which was a first. "She thought it was amazing how she just got out of a relationship with a guy who turned out to be gay. You know, I think normal girls wouldn't be so happy about something like that…"
"Rachel was in a relationship?" This was new for Finn. "When? With who? Why didn't I know?"
"I'm not even sure if it was a relationship," Kurt muttered. "I mean, they went on one date, kissed twice, and that in the span of – less than a week."
Either Finn was exceptionally clueless tonight, or there really was no one his brain could come up with as a probable candidate to be Rachel's boyfriend. "And it's over already?" he asked in the end.
"Well, yes," Kurt told him with an odd look on his face. "Fortunately."
"You didn't like him much?" Finn guessed, hoping that that was it. At least he could have a reason to not like Rachel's potential ex-boyfriend as well, then. It didn't need to have anything to do with the fact that he hadn't realised that Rachel might move on too.
"Oh, on the contrary," Kurt sighed. "I'm actually in love with him. It's Rachel I don't like too much these days. Again."
Finn stared at him for a moment. "Blaine?" he asked incredulously. Well, it was the only explanation. "Rachel dated Blaine? Your best friend, the lead singer of the Warblers, Blaine?"
"How many Blaines do you know, Finn?" Kurt asked, but Finn was glad to see a hint of a smile on his stepbrother's face now. "Yes, that Blaine. After Saturday, he was convinced that he had feelings for Rachel that weren't alcohol induced."
"But they were – well, because of the alcohol?" Finn asked, and Kurt nodded. "Well, I'm happy for you, man. Is that why you haven't been hanging out as much these past few days? Because he was too busy with Rachel?"
Kurt shook his head. "I think they only went on one date. That's still one date too much if you ask me, though. Blaine and I – we had a fight. Things were said, and – we haven't talked since."
"But you'll work it out, right?" Finn asked, somewhat concerned. Blaine was the only Dalton student he knew, and he wasn't sure who would keep an eye on Kurt if Blaine wasn't around.
"I guess," Kurt answered vaguely. "We'll need to talk it through. I just wasn't feeling up to it today. Maybe tomorrow." As Finn frowned at him, he smiled a little. "Don't worry, I'm not fully dependent on him or anything. There are other people around at Dalton I can hang out with."
"It's just not the same," Finn said, wondering if he had always been this wise.
"No, it's not. It's just nice to know that I don't have to beg for him to take me back as his friend because no one else will have me."
"If that ever happens, just let me know," Finn told him, suddenly more serious. "I'll get Puck and the other guys to come with me to Dalton and we'll help you out."
"Thanks, Finn, but I don't think that's necessary," Kurt said. "I can stand up for myself, you know."
"I know," Finn replied, "but that doesn't mean we have to act on it."
Kurt rolled his eyes, but he seemed a little happier now. "That's true."
"Did you hear about that assembly we had to perform at?" Finn asked after a minute. "The one about the bad consequences of alcohol?"
"Mercedes told me about it," Kurt responded. "Brittany and Santana threw up, right?"
"But Figgins loved it. Nobody has come to school while drunk for over a week, which is apparently some sort of record."
"I miss all that craziness," Kurt admitted. "Nothing ever happens at Dalton. It's so boring."
"I'll try to keep you posted," Finn promised. "Except if Mercedes does so before I get the chance."
"Thanks, Finn," Kurt said again. He got up from the bed and stretched. "Anyway, I've got some homework to complete and I have to get up early again tomorrow."
Finn pulled a face. "Just don't sing too loudly in the shower. The walls are rather thin here."
