AN: Just a little possibility of life in the Hummel-Hudson household after the season 2 finale. Hope you enjoy. Inspired by lyrics from "Quicksand" by Lit.

In frustration Finn let his cell phone drop onto his desk. Other than Rachel, nobody was answering his calls. It had been a week since Nationals, and other than Santana's tirade at the hotel, most of the Glee Club was talking to him or Rachel no matter how many times they tried to apologize.

Getting to his feet, he left his room, and walked the short distance to his stepbrother's room. He knocked on the open door. At his desk, Kurt looked back over his shoulder toward the doorway.

"Hi, Finn." Kurt replied.

Finn wasn't sure if he was imagining it or not but he thought Kurt's greeting was a bit on the cool side. Given that everyone else wasn't talking to him he guessed he should count himself lucky.

"Well at least you're talking to me," Finn commented, not leaving the doorway.

"Still, getting the cold shoulder from everyone?" Kurt asked, swiveling his desk chair to face his stepbrother. At Finn's nod, he continued. "Give them time, they'll come around. They're just bummed about Nationals."

"Then why are you talking to me?"

"Oh, I'm not thrilled with what you and Rachel did, but she's my friend and you're my stepbrother so I figure you both deserve a little slack. Besides, being in New York was an experience in itself and there is always next year."

"Was our kiss really that bad."

"They're billing it as 'the kiss that missed' on YouTube," Kurt replied, point a thumb over his shoulder at his computer.

"You're making that up."

"No, I'm not. Come see," Kurt said, turning around.

As Kurt quickly brought up his bookmarked version of the video from Nationals, Finn made his way over. Looking over Kurt's shoulder, Finn was more interested in the comments than the video itself.

"I really screwed things up this time."

"At least you didn't get Rachel pregnant," Kurt commented.

"Not funny," Finn said, hitting his stepbrother in the shoulder.

Kurt looked up at his stepbrother, who was still standing behind him. "Seriously Finn, this will blow over and there is always next year."

"Thanks, Kurt," Finn replied, making a silent vow to lead the New Directions to a win at Nationals next year. After blowing their chances this year it was the least he could do.
