Prompt: Dana Scully - "A dream is an answer to a question we haven't learned how to ask." -'X-Files'
"Finn, get up or you're going to be late for school!"
Finn groaned as his mother's voice cut through the dream he was having. He opened his eyes and looked around, blinking as his mind tried to differentiate the real world from the dream he had been lost in. The dream in which he had gotten into a fight with Karofsky and Azimio because he had stood up for Kurt. Stood up for him, but he hadn't been doing very well against the other two jocks.
"Finn!" his mother called, knocking on his bedroom door.
"I'm up!" Finn called back, throwing back his blanket and sitting up in the bed.
As he got ready for school he kept thinking about the dream. He was aware of his teammates, especially Karofsky and Azimio, giving Kurt a hard time. In fact, only a few short months ago he had been a part of it. That was before he had joined Glee. Before he had rescued Artie from the port-a-toilet. He had thought that just laying off Kurt himself would be enough to ease his conscious. It hadn't been though. Kurt was a good kid, even if he was different, and he didn't deserve the harassment he was getting. Still, Finn knew that standing up for him would even be a greater degree of social suicide than standing up for Artie. More than even joining Glee Club had been.
But perhaps it was what he needed to do to put his conscious at ease. He really didn't want to have a repeat of the dream he'd had last night. Dreaming about Karofsky and Azimio beating him up once was quite enough. And maybe he wouldn't need to actually confront the two bullies directly. Maybe just showing Kurt that he was on his side would be enough to clear his conscious. The question was, how did he do even that?
