Arrangements: Season 2 Episode 21 Funeral


Kurt had invited Blaine to Jean's funeral. He knew that he would need his boyfriend's emotional support, reliving memories of his mom's funeral, and he knew Rachel would need her brother.

Kurt greeted Sue with Finn and explained the odd decor before he rejoined the Anderson's, linking hand with Blaine. Sue started her eulogy but her voice broke and Schue took over reading. There was no a dry eye in the church as Sue's words were read by Mr. Schue. Rachel reached over and held Kurt's other hand. She felt Blaine's arm reach behind Kurt's back to rest on her shoulder. Rachel couldn't believe how unbelievably lucky she was to have both of them in her life.


"-Cuz I'm breaking up with you." Blaine stopped dead in his tracks. He had been walking toward Kurt's car to meet Kurt and Rachel when he heard this sentence. He glanced around and saw Finn and Quinn sitting in a truck a metre or two away. Blaine was about to walk away when he heard his sister's name so he ducked behind the car closest to them to hear what they were saying about her.

"Because of Rachel? 'Cause you still love her?" How can her still love Rachel? Blaine thought, he's with another girl! And he heard about the things he'd said to Rachel, not seeing fireworks when kissing her. Not backing her up on original songs in front of the group only in private, etc.

"I shouldn't have done this with you. I thought that I could fix everything from last year, but I- I can't I just can't because that feeling that Sue was talk about in there of being tethered to someone I- I just- I don't feel that way with you." Was he serious? Rae had just told him that she felt like that with him. He thought of it as a sibling thing. Because, you know, Sue's sister had just died.

"But you do with her?" "No. We're not breaking up. I can handle your confusion with Rachel until you get over it. We're gonna stay together, and next year we'll be prom king and queen- and" Wow, this girl was still trying to fix everything? She was a freaking saint.

"Just stop it. Okay? I don't want that life. Don't you feel anything anymore? This is real. This is happening." The bumbling giant pulled another dick move right after a funeral service had ended.

"Are you happy now? Is this me feeling enough for you?"

"Quinn, I'm sorry. I still love you."

Blaine took this as his cue to leave before either of them left the car and discovered him. He made his way over to Kurt's car and leaned against it as people kept trickling out the door. His distaste of Finn just kept growing.

He schooled his features into a more neutral look as he saw Kurt and Rachel exit the church, holding hands. Thoughts of Frankenteen were banished and a genuine smile graced his face. He was so lucky to have both of them and they were friends as well, which made it all the better.


A/n: Another rant about Finn and then I'll try to stop. Jesse makes a point in this episode and Finn is awful. Really, you break up with someone after a funeral and when they want to work it out, you accuse them of having no feelings.

It also drives me crazy that RIB use upsetting and life-changing events to further Finchel: Jean's death, every time they lose a competition, and Karofsky's attempted suicide. It pisses me off!

Okay, I'll try and make this my last rant about Finn being a douche. Can't promise the same for my Blaine, though...

One more and we're done! (Not with the story- don't freak out on me)
