Song: Thought I Loved You Then - Brad Paisley

Timeline: Monday

--Chapter 8: I Thought I Loved You Then--

It was the last class of the day, and Kurt was incredibly bored; but that was understandable when you were in last period biology and learning about cloud patterns. Not to mention that the teacher seemed to have no sense of fashion at all...

He didn't know why he felt so rebellious, but a part of him just wanted to put on some of his old clothes and run around kissing guys.

No! No… He couldn't do that! Or… Could he?

--Breaking the Rules--

Finally the bell rang and Kurt headed to his daily practice with Rachel. He arrived there first and sat down at the piano, running his fingers reverently over the keys.

A throat was cleared behind him, and Kurt swung around on the piano bench.

The smile fell from his face as his gaze met Finn Hudson.

"F-Finn… Hello. What are y-you doing here?"

Finn smiled. "Hey Kurt. Rachel said something about getting things ready for the Sound of Music or whatever, and she asked me if I could come here and help you practice… Is that alright?"

Kurt bit his lip for what must have been the hundredth time this week. "Ye-yeah, that's fine." He smiled slightly, shifting on the bench so that there was enough room for Finn to sit down.

--Breaking the Rules--

Kurt pressed the play button on the CD player and turned to face Finn.

"O-okay big guy, you lead, I'll sing back up."

Finn nodded.

I remember trying not to stare the night that I first met you

You had me mesmerized

And 3 weeks later in the front porch light taking 45 min to kiss goodnight

I hadn't told you yet but I thought I loved you then

Kurt almost forgot to sing, he was so busy looking down at the music sheet. This was the song that Rachel had chosen?!

Sigh… Finn's so dreamy.

No! No… The rules.

Finn is a very talented person, nice manly singing voice… Likes girls, got one pregnant. I like girls… Yep, like them a lot, Rachel's just a bundle of fun and… girly bits.

Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl

Like a river meets the sea

Stronger than it's ever been

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then.

See, 'feel about you girl'. Meaning someone that is female.

I can be feminine…

No, not going to happen!

I am a strong and self-sufficient male… I am a strong and self sufficient male… I am a strong an-

I remember taking you back to right where I first met you

You were so surprised

There were people around

But I didn't care I got down on one knee right there

And once again I thought I loved you then

Finn's voice was so dreamy… Kurt felt like he was melting into a puddle of goo.

Oh damn it. Strong and se-

Sexy, incredibly sexy; words that described Finn perfectly…

No.

Wistful sigh. Oh yes…

No, I don't think so.

Yes…

N- Oh damn it.

Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl

Like a river meets the sea

Stronger than it's ever been

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then.

He smiled, continuing to add little touches of background singing here and there. He was so happy right at this moment. This was better than the practices with Rachel, more free and relaxed. Rachel pushed him too hard.

Sissy. You can't handle singing how the fuck are you going to support your future children then you lazy son of a-

I'm not having kids! I'm gay.

YOU ARE NOT GAY! DON'T BE SUCH AN UNNATURAL SON OF A BITCH. You will marry a girl and have children, work a nice manly job and support your family!

But Finn's the only family I want…

I can just see you with a baby on the way

I can just see you when your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before.

Kurt watched Finn sing. He was so handsome… And kind of pretty in a jock kind of way…

I wonder if he's a good kisser.

Stop thinking like that. Not going to happen.

I think he would be…

Now you're my whole life now you're my whole world

I just can't believe the way I feel about you girl
Well look back some day at this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say and I thought I loved you then
And I thought I loved you then...

After the song finished, they stood there for a moment, staring at each other.

Kurt coughed awkwardly. "I better go, have to start heading to Rachel's… Umm, s-see you tomorrow."

Kurt hurried out of the auditorium, leaving Finn staring at the door. Watching as it swung closed, putting even more distance between him and Kurt.
