Looking for someone like you

AU. Finn has a life in New York as a teacher. He's really happy but somehow something is missing. When one of Blaine's old childhood friends decides to move to back into town, he doesn't come alone. And maybe this girl, Rachel Berry might be his something missing.

Hey all! I hope you are great! I know I have a bunch of stories still around but this just won't leave me alone as I am obsessed over Jonathan Groff's new show "Looking." I'll be using his character of Patrick for the propose of this story since I love him so much.

I don't own Glee or Looking. Try both belong to their rightful owners.

Chapter 1: looking at a fresh start.

He couldn't believe he had let Kurt drag him out again. On a school night. He was so tired of any kind of ideas his brother might have about how he's miserable because he doesn't have a life outside work. Outside of grading papers and somehow deal with the existential problems of a classroom full of fifth graders. One of which is his nephew.

Yes. Shane was an incredibly talented 10 year old kid who like Finn, loved to play drums and play video games. Kurt constantly complained over the fact that he too was an uncle but his only contribution to Shane's life at this point was to spoil him rotten.

"Tell me again why I let you convince me?" Finn groaned as they sat at the bar table.

"Because you love me." Kurt smirked.

"Lets just try and not kill ourselves with our eyes please." Amber said nudging Finn in the arm. She always had to be a peace maker between the two of them.

"Don't even try it." Blaine said ashamed. "They've already started."

"When is your friend getting here anyway?" Finn asked. He could see his brother tense a bit over this. How could he not be jealous of Patrick Murray? A guy Finn had actually never met but heard all kinds of things about? He and Blaine had not exactly dated but he knew Kurt was insecure over the guy no matter what.

"Would you relax Frankenteen?" Amber used his annoying nickname which Santana had now a thing for too. "Live a little will you?"

"Shouldn't you be at home with your kids?" Finn hissed at his sister. Her head dropped instantly and he regretted the words coming out of his mouth.

"Okay, enough of this, I need another drink." Kurt called the waiter and Finn rolled his eyes at him. "Don't make me witness you two fighting like little kids, when you do that, I drink." This, made Blaine roll his eyes too until his face seemed to turn into a smile.

"Here they are." Blaine waved to Someone in the distance.

"They.."

"Anderson!" The guy Finn recognized as Patrick reached the table. "Didn't recognize you without the Afro.."

"Well, they have now since then invented hair gel". Blaine hugged his friend excitedly until Kurt's cough got their attention. "Oh right, sorry,Paddy, you remember Kurt right?"

"Yeah sure, hi. Nice to see you again," he said with a bright smile.

"You too, I didn't even recognize you with glasses." Kurt was polite but Finn knew better.

"Yeah well, when you spend much time on the computer with tiny dots, the glasses are sort of a requirement for not going blind." Kurt let out a laugh. Then Blaine introduced both Finn and Amber. They had heard whispers of each other out there but had never met. "Nice meeting you both." Patrick said smiling as he shook hands with them. "And I hope you don't mind me bringing a friend.."

"Yes, where is she..." Blaine asked curiously.

And then Finn saw her. A tiny but beautiful brunette with moon like eyes.

"Sorry it took me so long, I had to go take care of something..." The girl said with a smile. Finn smiled instantly. He didn't know why.

"You were in the little girls room Rachel. Don't be so formal. " Patrick teased her.

Rachel. Her name was Rachel.

"Oh shush.." She giggled "aren't you going to introduce me?"

"Oh right this is ... Blaine of course you already know all about him." Kurt frowned. "And this is his boyfriend Kurt."

Kurt kissed both of Rachel's cheeks. She shook hands with Amber. Then her eyes focused on Finn. "And this is Finn, he's Kurt's brother.."

"Nice to meet you Finn." She said with a smile. Then their hands touched. It was like there was fire between both of them. Patrick turned to look at his friend.

"Umm... You got a strong grip the Rachel, but the boy might need his hand back.."

"I don't mind..." Finn said without thinking making Rachel smile but she finally let go of his hand.

"Okay then" Amber giggled. "Rachel why don't you tell us about yourself.."

She did happily, with sudden interruptions from Patrick which made Kurt give him weird looks. She had been born in LA and had lived her whole life there until her dads were relocated to San Francisco where she had met Patrick.

She was a professional dancer and actress, not really surprising for someone from California, but then again, she only talked about doing theater. Her dream had always been Broadway. "So when I heard Paddy was moving here I just packed my bags and decided to take on New York." She fished. And somewhere along the line Finn knew Kurt loved Rachel already.

"And don't let her fool you, she has the most amazing voice. All Barbara, and that's her second name too." Rachel blushed.

"You're named after Barbara? oh now we have to go do karaoke some day, Blaine and I do it at home anyway."

"Of course, I would like that very much." Rachel smiled. "And what about you Finn, what do you do?"

"Ah, well no, you don't want me to bore you." Finn sipped on his beer.

"He's pretty proud about cleaning buggers for a living.," his sister joked.

"I don't.." Rachel smirked. "I'm a fifth grade teacher and my kids already know how to clean their noses, thank you very much." Amber stuck her tongue out.

"That must be nice.." Rachel said honestly. "Working with kids.."

"Yeah, it is, I mean it gets out of your hands some days, but, I love teaching, it's the best feeling in the world, plus vacations are good.."

"Although he has to have a second job to pay the bills." Kurt added. It wasn't really a second job but more of a hobby to help his dad on his tire shop, it was his place to think and relax when he had to. Finn had been born and raised in a small town in New Jersey, but soon enough his mom had gotten this job as a nurse in New York, so she had packed the kids and the family had moved to The big city, much to Burt's dismay, since his dad was kind of a small town guy.

"It's not... I mean the pay is not that good, but I do okay."

And he did, of course not as much money as Kurt, his interior designer brother, but he really did love his job. Kurt would always bring him down jokingly about it though.

"Yes, Shane says uncle Finn is a good teacher.." Amber added with a smile. Amber was older than Finn. She was 28 and a single mother of two. Shane who was ten, was most like Finn, goofy and sweet and somewhat into sports as he played hockey. Then there was Joey , he was four and somehow insisted on doing everything his brother did. Amber worked as a school nurse to be close to them and not have long hours so she could care for her kids,. Plus she and the boys sort of lived with Finn, he didn't mind of course, but that didn't really give him an open window to date a lot.

" I had fun tonight." Patrick said as he and Rachel walked back to their place.

"Yeah."

"And you and Finn were making eyes all night... You think he'll ask you out?" Patrick inquired.

"I... Well he's nice but...I'm not really looking for anyone right now."

"Oh please!" Paddy said. "You two were practically finger fucking each other with that handshake and you seemed to be really interested in his job."

"I... Okay yeah he's... Attractive.."

"Drop dead handsome you mean... And the size...can you imagine his..."

Rachel pouted at his language and he just smiled cuddling closer to him. "Do we have a little crush ?" Rachel said like a little girl.

"Girl if he played my way I would totally go for it.." Patrick said

"I don't really think he's going to ask me out." She sounded truly disappointed. He seemed like a nice enough guy.

"Wanna bet?" Her best friend nudged her. Rachel rolled her eyes.

Okay so this is just the set up chapter to the story. What did you think? It was a little weird writing Patrick and imagining Jonathan not being really like Jesse but I never liked his character much, and I love both Jon and Patrick so...

Please share your thoughts with me and thanks for reading!
