Timeline: Saturday

-Chapter 31: Forgot-

When Mercedes' mom dropped him off at his house, he was giggling as he walked through the door. Strangely, no one was home.

He and 'Cedes, his newly dubbed 'girlfriend', had gone to her house, and they had watched Hairspray while giving each other facials. It was so much better than the sleepover he'd had at Rachel's as his friend hadn't paused the movie to explain the significance of each minor event; watching the movie at Rachel's house had ended up overlapping over to the next day.

When Mercedes' mom had called out that it was time for him to go home, 'Cedes had been quick to pull him to her chest tightly.

"Stay safe, white boy," she had whispered, and he knew that even thought she didn't know what his dad had done, she did know that something had caused him to change.

-Breaking the Rules-

There was a knock at the door and he froze before realizing that his dad would not have knocked.

He opened the door to a grinning Finn Hudson and a semi-awkward Noah Puckerman.

"Uhh… Hello." Kurt tried to smile but now he was even more worried about his dad arriving home.

Puck gave a short nod, his arms crossed while Finn was bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet, a stupid grin on his face.

"Hel-lo Kurt!" Finn practically sing-songed, still grinning like a maniac.

"Err," Kurt scratched the back of his head, eyes wide as he stared at Finn. "W-would you like to c-come in?"

Puck looked like he was ready to run off, his eyes kept shifting between Finn and Kurt. Odd, very odd.

"Okay!" Finn yelled and Kurt flinched at the loud tone. The quarterback instantly looked sheepish. "Sorry Kurt, I forgot."

Kurt, who was halfway towards leading Finn and Puck to the lounge room, froze.

"F-forgot what, exactly?"

He turned in time to see Finn slap a hand over his mouth. Puck let his hand run over his face while heaving an exhausted sigh.

"Finn… No-Noah? Forgot w-what?"
