It was nearing midnight, and the boys had been playing video games for hours, talking and laughing as they did so.

"Okay, serious question," Puck began as he sent a pass to his wide receiver in Madden on X-Box. "If you could hook up with one girl from glee club, who would you do?"

"Puck, that question is not valid considering Blaine and I are gay and Finn is dating Rachel." Kurt pointed out.

"Oh, c'mon, it's just for fun!" Puck urged.

"Hmm...Well if I was straight, I would definitely say Tina." Blaine said. "She's got a lot of different sides to her. I think she's really cool."

"I'd say Tina too, dude!" Puck said, giving him a high-five. "But I'd do it because she's like the only one I haven't dated or fooled around with in Glee Club."

"Okay, fine, if I'd have to choose, I'd pick Mercedes." Kurt confessed. "She'd rock my world!"

The boys laughed, and then looked at Finn expectantly. "Rachel." He said.

"Boring." Puck yawned sarcastically. "C'mon, choose someone else."

"Someone other than my girlfriend? No thanks." Finn said firmly.

"There must have been at least one time where you-"

"Forget it, Puckerman." Finn said easily.

"Fine." Puck sighed, defeated. "Rory?"

Rory's face lit up. He didn't think he'd be invited into this upperclassman conversation. "Well, um, I'd have to go with Brittany." He blushed, and added, "But I wouldn't say no to Quinn Fabrey, either. She's very pretty."

The boys laughed, and then Finn said, "Okay, fine, I'll admit, I've always kind of wondered what sex with Quinn would be like."

The boys cheered. "Now you're talking!" Puck said. "And it's great, by the way."

"Shut up!" Finn laughed, throwing his X-Box controller at Puck's head. "And that still doesn't change how I feel about Rachel! It was simply just an answer for the game!"

"Yeah, yeah." Kurt said.

Blaine left around midnight, and Kurt went to bed shortly after that. Puck, Finn, and Rory spent the remainder of the night, playing video games, watching TV, and having 'bro talk' as Puck called it. Rory had never had a more enjoyable night in America.

"Mrs. Hudson, do you need help cleaning up?" Rory asked in the morning when he finished his pancakes at breakfast.

"Oh, no, Rory, you're our guest. Enjoy yourself. But I wish my son was as courteous as you were." She said with a glance at Finn.

"Dude! Stop being so polite!" Finn joked through a mouthful of food. "You're gonna get me in trouble!"

Puck offered to give Rory a ride home, and shortly after they finished breakfast, the boys were heading home.

"It's always a pleasure, Mrs. Hudson." Puck said kindly.

"Oh, you know you're always welcomed here, Puck." Carole said as they headed towards the door.

"Mrs. Hudson, that you for graciously inviting me into your home." Rory said genuinely. "You have a lovely house, and make some of the best pancakes I've ever tasted." Carole looked smitten, and Kurt rolled his eyes as he paged through his Vogue.

"Oh, Rory, it's our pleasure. And you are welcomed over any time. Seriously, come right in." Carole said, giving him a hug.

"Be careful what you wish for, Mrs. Hudson. If I could I'd be here every day, but goodness knows you'd get sick of me!" He joked charmingly, and Carole laughed.

The boys gave one last wave goodbye to the Hudson-Hummel family before leaving.

"I love him." Carole said immediately after she shut the door.

Burt and Finn chuckled. Kurt let out an annoyed sigh. "He's nice, isn't he?" Finn said.

"Nice?!" Carole said in disbelief. "He's the sweetest, most charming boy on the planet!"

"It's an act." Kurt said bitterly.

"Even if it was an act, you could learn something from him, Mister." Burt said, taking a seat next to him on the couch. "I've never met a more well-mannered boy."

"He's absolutely adorable." Carole gushed. "Who is he staying with again?"

"Brittany Pierce from Glee Club." Finn said.

"And how's that working out?" Carol asked.

"Good, I think." Finn said, piling another stack of pancakes on his plate. "Although, Rory says it sometimes gets lonely. Brittany seems to ignore him when she has friends over, and he's not very close with the family."

"Well, if he ever gets sick of it, he is more than welcomed to stay at our house." Carole said brightly.

"Hey, Rory." Blaine said at school on Monday between passing periods.

"Hiya, Blaine!" Rory said brightly. Rory was on cloud nine today. He had had a spectacular weekend. He had had a hilarious conversation with Finn about how Mrs. Hudson wouldn't stop talking about him all weekend. Puck had stopped a hockey player from bullying him before lunch. And now Blaine had come to talk to him. Rory was finally starting to feel secure with friends.

"You seem cheerful today." Blaine noted.

"Just enjoying America, that's all." He said casually.

"You know, it was a lot of fun hanging out with you this weekend." Blaine said, "I haven't had a guy's night since I came to McKinley. And truth be told, I didn't have many when I was at Dalton either. The boys at Dalton thought they were a bit too sophisticated to play video games all night." He laughed.

"Well, truth be told, I've never had a guy's night, like ever." Rory said.

'Well, I gotta thank you. Because it was a lot of fun. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have felt comfortable joining in on it. Finn doesn't like me very much, and Puck kind of scares me." Blaine admitted. "But I think we all bonded a bit. So hopefully Finn won't hate me anymore. And I wasn't afraid to look Puck in the eyes when I saw him this morning!"

Rory laughed. "I get what you mean. Puck intimidated me greatly. But now we're friends! And I understand where you're coming from with Finn. It's just like me and Kurt."

"Rory, he doesn't hate you-"

"But he's not too fond of me either. Just promise me one thing, okay?" Rory said seriously.

"Sure, anything."

"Don't let our friendship come between you and Kurt's relationship." Rory said, and mumbled, "I'm not worth it."
