Author's Note:
Alright, so once I get 10 chapters of this written, I should be more than halfway through with the story, so I'm either going to start a Brittana fanfiction or a Klaine fanfiction. If I get enough requests for Finchel fanfiction, I might consider that as well.
What this means for you, my dear readers, is that you might not get chapters for more than a few days. It might turn into once-a-week, or it might turn into all of them at once. But, I'm not sure.
I will definitely try to keep this updated, but actually, you don't have to worry about my updates changing until I hit chapter 10 or 11, which is still not going to be for a little bit. I'll try my best to keep you guys updated and happy, so just enjoy this attention right now, considering it may stray in a little while.
Thank you for your amazing reviews; they are deeply appreciated. I would love some more prompting or suggestions, I'm open to anything.
On to the chapter!
Once they had all arrived at Burt and Carole's, Finn, Rachel, Kurt and Blaine went to unpack their things. Santana had been dropped off at her mother's house, where she was planning on staying. They were all meeting up in an hour or so to go to Breadstix and meet up with their old friends. Finn had finished packing first, and he was now looking around his room and reminiscing as Rachel unpacked her own things.
Finn smiled as he stared at the board beside his desk that was cluttered with pictures from high school. There was one or two of Finn and Sam, quite a few of them were of Puck and Finn, and 6 or 7 were with Kurt and/or Blaine, and the rest were of him and the glee club. Finn then realized that Rachel might not know what the glee club looked like and who they all were, so he grabbed his laptop from his bed and logged onto Facebook quickly.
"Done!" Rachel said triumphantly, sitting on the bed next to Finn. "Whatcha doin'?"
"I'm showing you the pictures of the glee club so that you know who we're meeting." Finn said, smiling at her. Rachel chuckled.
"Kurt showed me them when we became friends. I already know who they are, even if they don't know me. I've met Mike and Tina before, I've seen many embarrassing photos of Puck, Mercedes came to visit Kurt last year and I absolutely adore her, Quinn sounds like a sweetheart and I've heard many stories about all of them from Santana. Artie is amazing and he's such a great person; I met him when he came to visit Santana. They're actually really good friends, which apparently shocked Kurt and Blaine. The only people I haven't met in person are Puck, Quinn, Sam and Brittany." Rachel said as Finn pulled up pictures of Puck.
"Well, have you seen any recent pictures of Puck, Quinn, Sam or Brittany?" Finn responded. Rachel shook her head.
"I saw some when I first met Kurt and Santana, but nothing recent." Rachel said. Finn grinned.
"This is Puck. He thinks he's a stud, he's my best friend in the world and he'll probably make some inappropriate comments. But, if you've heard about him from Kurt and you live with Santana, you'll be fine."
Rachel nodded and looked at the picture. He looked almost the same as before, just a little happier. There was a blonde girl in the photograph, standing next to him and laughing at something. Rachel recognized her as Quinn, and told Finn that. Finn nodded and told Rachel that Puck and Quinn had finally gotten back together and that they were both much happier.
"Alright, so that's Puck and Quinn, here's a picture of Sam." Finn said, clicking on a different profile. Rachel held in a snort as she remembered Santana's nickname for him. His mouth is quite large.
Sam looked pretty much the same, as well. His hair was still obviously dyed (yes, Rachel and Kurt both knew that Sam's hair was dyed; it was way too obvious), his lips were still humungous and he still had the same build. The only change was that he looked less like a boy and more like a man; his jaw was more defined and he had light stubble shading in his neck. Finn clicked on the next profile, and Rachel immediately recognized Brittany.
Santana had many pictures of Brittany in her room, but none were very recent. Brittany looked almost identical to her former self, the only change being her hair, which had grown quite a bit. Rachel nodded at the picture and then turned to Finn.
"Santana and Brittany need to talk. That's my main goal for tonight; to get them to talk again. But, from many things Kurt and Blaine have told me about Brittany, she isn't the brightest. Has that changed?" Rachel asked, looking hopeful. Finn nodded.
"Brittany was always a little confusing and ditzy, but when she went to college, she toned it down a bit. She's a little easier to understand, but she's still a little confusing. You'll get the gist of it, and she's a really sweet girl. I'm sure that she'd love to talk to Santana and work some things out." Finn reassured Rachel, smiling at her lightly. Rachel nodded and sighed in relief.
"Ready to go? I think Kurt and Blaine should be unpacked by now." Finn said, turning off his laptop and running a hand through his hair. Rachel nodded and smiled, hopping up from the bed and heading into the hallway. Rachel went towards Kurt's closed bedroom door at the end of the hallway and smiled brightly, turning the knob.
"Are you guys ready to- Oh. My. God." Rachel squeaked as Kurt flushed a bright red and Blaine fell to the floor with a thud, buttoning up his shirt quickly.
"Wow, I haven't landed on this floor that embarrassed since high school, babe." Blaine said, smiling through his blush at Kurt, who let out a chuckle.
"Hi, Rachel. Yes, we're ready to go. At least it wasn't my dad this time." Kurt said, winking at Blaine and fixing his hair. Rachel's eyes widened slightly and she pivoted, rushing out of their room. Finn was standing in his own doorway, laughing loudly.
"You learn to never barge into that bedroom when the door is closed and Blaine is here, eventually. It only took one time of walking in on them when they were completely naked to scar me for life and to never go near that door again." Finn said between loud laughter. Rachel's eyes widened at that mental image, too, and she flushed again.
"That was awful. I always call Kurt before heading over, so I've never seen them in a compromising position before. Santana has, but that was because she has no respect for Blaine or Kurt's privacy and would probably kill to see that." Rachel commented, shaking her head slightly. Suddenly, the door to Kurt's room swung open and they walked out, both still blushing slightly. Blaine cleared his throat.
"Ready to go?" He asked, walking towards Finn and Rachel. Finn started laughing again, causing them all to look at him with confused expressions.
"What's so funny?" Blaine asked. Finn laughed for a few more seconds before responding.
"Just thinking about the good old days. This is such a deja-vu. I thought you would know better by now to lock the door, little bro!" Finn replied, nudging Kurt playfully.
"Oh, shut up." Kurt grumbled, glaring at Finn before turning and heading down the stairs. Rachel giggled lightly before following behind Kurt, and once the two had left, Blaine had burst into loud laughter and followed Finn down the stairs.
Once they arrived at Breadstix, which the group had actually rented out, they headed inside to greet their friends. Rachel immediately hugged Mercedes tightly and said hello to everyone else that she had met before heading over to meet the people that she recognized from the internet.
"You must be Rachel! How'd you end up with a beauty like this, Finn?" Sam said, leaning in to hug her. Rachel returned the hug and smiled at Sam. Finn rolled his eyes.
"Please, Sam. You and Puck aren't the only lady's men." Finn replied with a mock-grin. Sam laughed and hugged Finn, as well.
"Good to see you, man. Have you seen Kurt?" Sam asked, squinting to look for him. Finn smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, he's with Tina." Finn said, pointing to his brother. Sam nodded and went towards that direction.
Rachel looked around for other people she had to meet and caught the eye of a petite blonde, standing with a tall and muscular man. Rachel recognized them both as Puck and Quinn, and smiled as they headed their way.
"Finnster! How are ya, bro?" Puck said, fist pounding Finn. Finn smiled at him and gestured toward Rachel.
"This is-" Finn started, but was cut off.
"Rachel, I'm guessing? Geeze, Finn, what a babe." Puck said, winking at him. Finn rolled his eyes and Rachel giggled.
"You must be Puck. I've heard tons about you from Kurt and Santana." Rachel said, smiling at him. Puck grinned at her.
"Everything you've heard about him is true. Even if it's coming from Santana." A raspy voice interrupted, leaning in to hug Rachel.
"I'm Quinn. You must be Rachel. Finn's been gushing about you weeks." Quinn said, winking. Finn blushed and leant in to give Quinn a hug.
"Thanks, Quinn. You're making me seem really cool." Finn commented as he pulled away from the hug. Quinn just smirked at him before kissing Puck on the cheek.
"Let's go say hi to Blaine and Kurt. It was wonderful meeting you, Rachel. We'll talk to you guys later." Quinn said, waving to them and heading in the other direction. After Rachel waved to Quinn and Puck, she caught sight of Brittany and walked towards her.
"Hi! I'm Rachel. Finn's girlfriend." Rachel said, smiling. Brittany smiled back.
"Hello! I'm Brittany. You smell like flowers and cinnamon. Is Santana here? She always smells like cinnamon." Brittany said, a yearning and hopeful look on her face. Finn nodded.
"She's near the back, with Mike and Mercedes. She really wants to talk with you, Britt. After dinner, of course." Finn said, giving Brittany a quick hug.
"Speaking of eating, let's go grab our seats." Rachel said. Finn smiled at her and waved to Brittany before heading over to one of the chairs, catching Kurt's eye and nodding, signaling his brother to start eating and make the announcement.
A few minutes later, everyone was seated and eating when Kurt tapped his knife to his glass.
"Attention! Big news, guys. You're probably wondering why I gathered you all hear today, and no it isn't to reminisce or meet Rachel, although that is reason enough on it's own." Kurt said, flashing a smile in Rachel's direction, who returned the smile.
"Do you want to say it?" Kurt asked Blaine, smiling widely. Blaine nodded like an excited puppy and jumped a little, grabbing Kurt by the waist and pulling him closely.
"I proposed to Kurt. We're getting married!" Blaine exclaimed, jumping slightly and squeezing Kurt closer. The entire group burst into applause and wolf-whistles, all of them congratulating Kurt and Blaine on the engagement as the couple smiled and blushed at the attention.
"Santana and Rachel are our bridesmaids, and Cooper and Finn will be our best men, once Cooper finds out. We're getting groomsmen, as well, and we would be honored if Mike and Puck would be two of our 4 groomsmen. We'll get back to you on the bridesmaids once we've figured that out, so in the next couple days." Kurt said, smiling at everyone.
"Thanks, guys, I would love to be one of your groomsmen." Mike said, smiling at them. Puck sniffled, drawing everyone's attention.
"I'm not crying, I just have allergies!" Puck said, turning away from the table to wipe a tear from his eye and sniffle again. Blaine smiled and pulled himself away from Kurt, hugging Puck.
"You're the best, bro. I can't wait to be your guys' groomsmen." Puck said to Blaine, hugging him back. Blaine nodded and pulled away.
"Thanks, Puck." Blaine said, smiling. Puck nodded at him before turning back to Quinn, who smiled softly and kissed him on the cheek.
After everyone was done congratulating the newly-engaged lovebirds and eating their food, they all headed over to Quinn and Puck's apartment for some drinks and to hang out. Rachel and Finn didn't stay long, due to the party getting a little wild and the people getting a little more drunk, and decided to head home early after saying goodbye to everyone. Once they had gotten back to the house, Burt and Carole were at a friend's house, so Finn and Rachel decided to watch a movie.
Kurt and Blaine arrived back at the house, 2 hours later, drunk out of their minds. Tina had dropped them off, and thank gosh they didn't drive; if they did, they would have crashed. Blaine stumbled in first, the least drunk of the two (he wasn't as drunk as Kurt, but he was pretty damn close) and had his arm around Kurt's waist, helping him through the door.
"Rachel! Blaine, look at who's here! Rachel and Finn!" Kurt slurred, running towards the pair who were cuddled together on the couch. He kissed them both on the cheek and then proceeded to lay on top of them, sighing contently. Blaine giggled drunkenly and pulled him off of the couch, whispering something into Kurt's ear. Kurt nodded excitedly before turning to Rachel.
"We're gonna go have some sex, shhhhhh don't tell Finn or Dad. I'll get grounded and then I won't get to see Blaine after glee practice after school. Shhhhhhh!" Kurt said loudly. Blaine giggled and pulled Kurt up the stairs, the door to their bedroom slamming a few seconds later. Rachel pivoted slightly to look at Finn.
Finn looked half-amused and half-mortified. Rachel let out her repressed laughter.
"You look like you've just been told your dog died!" Rachel gasped out, nudging Finn.
"Kurt just kissed me on the cheek and announced that he was having sex with Blaine upstairs." Finn said, still pale but chuckling slightly.
"And?" Rachel pressed.
"Kurt doesn't touch me. I'm lucky if I get a hug or a pat on the knee. He just kissed my cheek. Also, Kurt has never spoken to me about sex. I've walked in on him I don't know how many times, but he doesn't comment on it and acts like he has no idea what I'm talking about when I bring it into a conversation." Finn said, stunned. Rachel snorted.
"I'm glad one of us is censored. Kurt brags and gushes about sex with Blaine to me daily. And, Kurt kisses me on the cheek daily, as well." Rachel replied. Finn started laughing again.
"Nice to know that Kurt likes you more than Kurt likes me. That's always a good sign. He does have a way of knowing people." Finn commented, smiling at Rachel.
Rachel just blushed and kissed him on the cheek, cuddling into him again and watching the rest of the movie.
