AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Sucker (Tell Me About Your First Kiss)" by New Found Glory. Just a little brotherly bonding between Kurt and Finn. Given Kurt's comment to Rachel at Sectionals about not talking to Finn much after the wedding, this would probably take place after Sectionals.
~This wasn't such a bad idea after all,~ I thought, settling down on top of the sleeping bag I had spread out on the living room floor, the furniture having been pushed off to the side. Not far away, Kurt sat Indian style on top of his own sleeping bag, fighting to open a bag of marshmallows, his portable cd player nearby playing show tunes softly.
'Camping out' tonight had been Kurt's idea. Our parents had made hotel reservations not far away, their version of a honeymoon given that they had spent the vacation money on Kurt's tuition. That left me and my stepbrother of two weeks home alone for the weekend.
"Give me those things," I said, reaching out to take the bag from him, and trying to open it myself.
"Not so easy, is it?" Kurt taunted just as the plastic gave way sending several marshmallows flying.
As we sat there munching on the marshmallows it occurred to me how little I really knew about Kurt despite our year and a half in Glee Club together. Granted before that I had been helping him to toss him into dumpsters but that had changed. I had changed. Perhaps it was time I changed how well I knew him too. So I asked him a question. Nothing to personal but something to break the ice. After his initial surprise he answered it and we went back and forth.
"First Kiss?" Kurt asks.
"Abigail Moore, at the eighth grade Halloween Dance, " I reply, without hesitation. I'm about to ask what his first crush was, but scared that it might be the one I knew he had on me at one time, I quickly change gears. "Same question - first kiss?" I ask, knowing it's a safe topic.
Kurt freezes and I see the flash of panic that passes across his face before he replies, "As I choose to believe that a true first kiss can only happen when both people involved in the kiss have feelings for the other, I don't think either of my two experiences constitute a first kiss."
I can tell there is more of a story behind Kurt's reply but know this isn't the time to press. Maybe once this being brothers thing isn't so new to us. "First person you kissed then?" I said, rephrasing the question in the hopes of getting a reply. The reply I get is not one I was expecting.
"Brittany."
