Prompt: Witt Shettfield - "Sometimes first impressions are wrong."-'Class'
AN: Okay, really I don't mind Adam but if you're a big Adam fan this might not be your cup of tea.
Kurt stared at his reflection in the mirror, the angry red marks left from Adam's hand clearly visible. He was relieved that Rachel had left to spend the weekend back in Lima with her dads because the last thing he wanted to do was answer questions. Everything had happened so quickly. One minute they had been sitting on the couch, holding hands and watching The Notebook and then the next thing he knew Adam was taking liberties that Kurt was uncomfortable with this early in their relationship. His protests hadn't been met with understanding but anger and Adam's open hand landing on his cheek.
Kurt felt tears welling up in his eyes at the memory. He hadn't thought Adam capable of such quick anger. The elder NYADA student had always seemed so easy going and sweet. That was the person that Kurt had fallen for not the person he had seen tonight.
How had he been so blind?
Kurt let his fingers go up to his face and gently probe the area where Adam's hand had made contact. The skin still stung. He knew he should probably put ice on it but he couldn't seem to move.
His cell phone going off startled him. From the ring tone he knew it was Adam but he didn't move to answer it. He didn't want to talk to him right now or ever to be exact.
Shortly after the phone stopped ringing there was a knock at the door. Kurt automatically headed in that direction stopping several feet from the front door. What if it was Adam? There would be no way of knowing until he opened the door. What he wouldn't give for a peep hole.
The knock sounded again, and Kurt stayed rooted to the spot in fear even as he heard the sound of a key in the door. Adam didn't have a key to the apartment. The only one beside him and Rachel that had a key was Finn though his stepbrother hadn't been to New York since he and Rachel had broke up.
Still rooted to the spot, Kurt watched the front door open and watched his stepbrother was walking through the door.
"Oh, hey, you are home," Finn said, surprised to see Kurt standing in the living room of the apartment after not opening the door. He pulled the front door shut and locked it. "I thought I'd take advantage of Rachel being out of town to come see you," he explained turning around. It was then that he noticed the red mark on Kurt's cheek. "What happened?" Finn asked, anger coming into his voice at the thought of someone hitting his stepbrother.
Kurt didn't answer even as he started walking toward Finn. As much as he hadn't wanted to face Rachel, now that Finn was here he needed the safety that his stepbrother offered.
Without hesitation, Finn opened his arms to his advancing stepbrother, and pulled Kurt close. Now was not the time for questions.
