AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Love The Way You Lie" by Skylar Grey. Sorry about the lack of posting lately, but I haven't done much writing lately and I keep forgetting to post these. All I can say is Real Life is the problem. Hope you enjoy this one!


"Actually, I'm the one who told them. Because I think you guys are making a mistake. A huge mistake."

Kurt's word this afternoon had stuck with me. Like he always is, Kurt had been up front about his disapproval of my engagement. Though others might see him as easy-going, and upbeat all the time, I knew a side of Kurt that most people didn't see. Yes he probably had the most compassion of any of us in Glee Club, maybe the school, and his capacity to be able to forgive blew me away at times, but Kurt was also very opinionated. There was a time when he might have hesitated voicing those opinions but since returning from Dalton, those times have passed.

Now Rachel and I were on the receiving end of that. It wasn't so much him voicing his opinion that bothered me; it was the nagging feeling that he might be right.

Maybe I was rushing things. Perhaps needing to feel like I had something going on in my life was the only reason I had proposed to Rachel. I did love her, but was love enough to get us through.

One thing I did know though, whether he approved of the decision or not, I wanted my stepbrother at the wedding despite what Rachel had said.

Reaching his room, I found Kurt's door open. I had intended to barge in and demand an explanation from him but feeling calmer then on my drive home, I simply reached out and knocked on the door.

Kurt looked up from the magazine he was leafing through.

"If you're here to chew me out, please wait," Kurt said over the top of the magazine. "I just had to hang up on Rachel and turn off my cell phone to put an end to her tirade. You can't make me change my mind about this."

"Fine," I told him, not missing the look of surprise that came to his face. "I know yo,u so I'm not even going to change your mind. However, whether you approve of what I'm doing or not, I want you to know I want you at my wedding. You're my brother and I want my family there."

"But Rachel. . ."

"I don't care what Rachel said. I can live with you not supporting us getting married but I need to know you'll be there for me even when I do make mistakes."

"Of course I will, Finn. You're the first person who ever stood up for me. And even though you went along with some of the stuff at the beginning, you were the first one that showed any kind of remorse about what was happening. You've been my hero since the day you got on Puck for pushing me into a locker, even if you are making a mistake."

It was one of those moments where you debate on whether to hug or punch your sibling. I finally settled for mumbling "thanks" and leaving the room.
