Find Yourself

OK so I've also had requests for some K-Finn interactions and so I am delivering, also I am revealing the songs Krissy/Artie will be singing. Anyway thanks for reading this. If you like what you see review, as that is gas for the muse, well that and watching random movies I haven't seen in ages and then seeing someone from Glee is in it…

After that first rehearsal it seemed that something just clicked and life for the moment had fallen into a place of routine if only for the moment.

Wednesday she got to school, casually chatted with Noah in homeroom about things went to a couple of classes, hung out with her friends at lunch, a few more classes, then AP English Lit with Kurt and time for the final bell.

"So what are your plans right now," Kurt asked as they began to pack up their books after the end of the school day.

Kristina shrugged her shoulders.

She really didn't have any plans other then school, rehearsing her duet with Artie after glee practice the following day and her study date, if she could even call it a date with Noah on Saturday.

Cocking a devious smile in Kurt's direction she shook her head.

"Catch the bus home, get started on my homework, maybe go over the duet…why do you ask."

"Cancel the bus. I'll drive, that is if you're up for some hump day lattes and dissecting some literature."

"Wow with your charm I'm shocked you don't have a boyfriend yet."

"Hey it's not my fault the guy I'm so hopelessly in love with plays for the straight team."

Kristina smiled thinking about Finn Hudson and wondered if one of these days she could use her Davis powers of persuasion that had made her captain of Madison's debate team to try to lore Finn to go the other way. But then again was her friends happiness worth the wrath of Rachel Berry, she had to think about it.

--

They spent the better part of the afternoon in starbucks going over the novel they were reading in Lit and talking about the prose when he showed up and what was better he was alone.

Kurt didn't see him so Kristina decided to make a move.

"Kurt, I'll be right back," she said smiling.

The young man nodded as he began to hi-light a passage in the book in his hand.

With a spring in her step Kristina headed to where the young man had just placed his order with the barista.

"Finn hey," she said causing the young man to flash a nervous smile back at her.

Man he thought she was pretty, like really pretty but he was with Rachel and although he thought of the iritic brunette for the latter part of his relationship with Quinn he wasn't going to keep the cycle going.

"Kristina, hi, so what are you doing here."

The young girl shrugged thinking that it was obvious why she was at the coffee shop on a Wednesday afternoon.

"I'm working on my AP Lit assignment with Kurt, what about you."

He smiled sweetly at her.

"I'm just here for some coffee, you people say it stunts your growth and all but obviously that's a myth."

Looking into the tall young mans eyes Kristina couldn't help but giggle a bit before composing herself. She was on a mission, to try to lore Finn to the other team, to her best friend, not to flirt with the guy. Besides she was with Artie… well technically and she wasn't going to ruin a good thing with him and her friendship with Kurt all at the same time.

"So, do you want to join us?" She finally asked.

Finn looked over to her curiously.

"I don't take AP Lit."

"I know you don't, but we could use a study break."

Finn smiled. Well in that case he was glad to join the duo. He didn't want to admit it but he kind of liked hanging out with Kurt.

--

"I'm Back," Kristina said approaching the table moments later with Finn right behind her.

"It's about time, man I hate it when the ladies room has long…"

Kurt paused as his eyes met Finn's.

Turning from his crush to his friend he simply shook his head.

'Oh no she didn't' he thought before opening his mouth. "So Finn where's your better half this afternoon?"

Finn scratched his head before realizing that Kurt was referring to Rachel.

"You mean Rachel, well it's Wednesday so she's at her weekly Yoga class."

Kurt nodded.

That would be a Rachel thing wouldn't it.

Finn took a seat between his friends and looked over at the book they had both been reading and knew he couldn't make any conversation with them about that and so he decided to stick to a subject he knew that both he and his company was familiar with.

"So Kristina, you and Artie are doing a duet for the showcase."

Ok so he was stating the obvious but that was all he had.

Kristina just smiled and nodded.

"It's a mash up of Love Bug by the Jonas Brothers…"

Kurt just rolled his eyes still not believing Artie would of picked out that song.

"…and I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. It's a bit rough around the edges but by the showcase it should be flawless."

"Well I can't wait for you two to be ready to run through it during practice."

Kristina just nodded and the trio went about more conversation for the next hour and a half when Kristina's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello," she said to her mother who was on the other end.

"Kristina," Alexis said, "Where are you."

"At Starbucks with Kurt doing homework."

That wasn't a total lie she just neglected to tell her Finn was also there and that they had long since put away their Lit assignments and were just chatting idly.

"Well why don't you invite Kurt to come over for dinner. I'd really like to meet him."

"Well I don't want to be rude to the other friend that is with us."

"You didn't say you were with another friend, it wouldn't be that Artie or Noah you've talked about perhaps."

"No mom it's not either of them."

"Oh…well…still invite your friend too I guess."

Kristina could tell her mom was interested in meeting Artie and Noah and was slightly disappointed.

"It depends, are you cooking."

Alexis let out a laugh.

She was a notoriously bad cook whose only real specialty was the many ways she could prepare popcorn.

"Take out," her mother replied.

"Well in that case, I'll ask them and get back to you."

Hanging up the phone the two boys looked at Kristina curiously.

"Your mom wants us to come for dinner?" Kurt said.

Kristina nodded.

"Let me just text my dad," Kurt said pulling out his cell phone while Finn gave Kristina a look.

He wondered if this was a good idea, going to another girls house, meeting her family like this. He wondered what Rachel would think if she found out. He honestly didn't want to find out and so he decided to make an excuse.

"I can't," he said, "maybe next time if there wasn't such short notice."

Kristina nodded as Finn got up and got ready to leave.

However he paused to turn back to Kristina and flashed her a half smile.

"See you tomorrow at glee rehearsal."

She smiled at him telling him she couldn't wait till then.

Soon Kurt arrived back at the table noticing an empty spot where Finn sat.

He was heartbroken.

"Let me guess, Finn baled."

Kristina nodded.

"Yea, so anyway what did your dad say?"

Kurt smiled.

"He said it was alright."

Kristina let out a little squeal of delight as she finished packing up her things before leaving the coffee shop to go to the Davis home.

--

They arrived to see Alexis's car not in the driveway, which was weird since when she had called earlier she was on the house phone.

Shaking her head Kristina thought nothing about it as she entered the house with Kurt only to instantly spot Molly sitting down on the couch reading her own book.

In hearing the door open Molly tossed her book down and turned her shoulder to where her older sister was standing with her friend.

"Kurt hi," she said with joy in her voice, "so have you been taking good care of Kristina."

Kurt nodded and the younger girl smiled happy for that.

"So Molly where's mom."

"Mom went up to pick up dinner, Kurt I hope you like Thai food."

He nodded as he watched Kristina place her things down and take a seat on the couch motioning to take a seat between her and her sister.

Kurt took the seat between the two girls and smiled before looking around the room which seemed more put together then the previous week when he was at the house. For starters there were now pictures on the mantel that had caught his attention. Pictures of Kristina and Molly as younger girls, some with another young brunette, some with a young strawberry blonde boy that looked to be Kristina's age, maybe slightly older, some with a young dark haired boy that was Molly's age, and still others with older looking men, presumably their fathers.

He didn't plan to ask about the pictures he just admired the big family his friend had. He was envious really as ever since his mother died it had just been him and his father.

It was then that the door opened and a woman entered carrying a pair of paper bags.

Standing up he instinctively walked over to her.

"Let me help you Miss Davis," he said taking one of the bags.

The woman smiled. She definitely liked this Kurt character already.

"Thank you," she replied as she placed her own bag on the dining room table while Kristina and Molly were already in the process of getting out plates and silverware.

--

"You and my mom really hit it off," Kristina said to Kurt after dinner as they were watching dishes while Molly was explaining to Alexis the assignment she was working on.

"Was there any doubt," Kurt asked flicking a soap bubble in Kristina's direction.

Kristina let out a little laugh as she shook her head before reciprocating and flicking a bubble back in Kurt's direction.

"Oh no you didn't Davis," he said looking down at his cloths which now had soap marks on it before flicking back yet another bubble in her direction.

"Oh I think I did Hummel," she said flicking a second bubble on him.

Back and fourth they went giggling as they did so. They made sure not to make too much of a mess keeping most of the dish liquid bubbles in the sink or on each other.

Soon they were done with the dishes and Kurt looked over at the clock. It was getting on the later side now and it was a school night.

"I should head home," he said, "but do you want me to give you a ride tomorrow to school."

Kristina smiled and nodded.

She liked that idea. Riding in Kurt's care was far more comfortable then having to get up to ride the bus or worse have her mother drive her.

"That would be great."

Kurt smiled telling her the time he'd be there before yelling his goodbyes to her mother and sister and heading out.

All and all it was another really good day.
