A/N: Sorry it's taken so long for another (short) chapter. Writer's block sucks. But I figured a short chapter was better than no chapter at all, so here you are. Please let me know what you think! Please let me know what you think. If you like it - tell me why. If you don't like it, tell me why! Bel x

Monday morning finally rolls around. Finn is still terrified everyone will know about him and Kurt. He isn't even sure they are dating, they've just fooled around and that's it. He's worried that he will betray himself even if nobody knows, so he spends the day avoiding the other teen. It's a strategy that proves successful for most of the day, until he feels a bony finger poking his shoulder whilst he's at his locker.

"Are you avoiding me, Finn?"

Finn turns around slowly. "Kurt! No, why would I be avoiding you? I've just not seen you around, that's all."

He's not very convincing. "You're not very convincing, Finn" Kurt says. "And you're not very conspicuous. You're over six feet tall, I can see you over the heads of most people, and I can tell when someone turns on their heels and walks in the opposite direction because they want to avoid someone they've just spotted."

Finn shrugs his shoulders. "Fine. I'm sorry. I just... it's a lot to get to grips with... I don't know how to act around you now." He bites his lip, before continuing in a quieter voice. "I like you, Kurt, but you know, I'm falling down the ranks already being in Glee, and if people found out, you know, about this, then I might as well just move to Alaska or something."

"You care too much about what other people think, Finn. But I can't expect you to change overnight. You're a people pleaser. In your mind, it's safer for you to still be macho quarterback Glee stud Finn Hudson." Kurt smiles then turns to walk away.

Finn grabs his arm and pulls him back gently. "My mom's working late tonight." He hopes Kurt gets the hint.

Finn sits in his living room. He's looking at the television, but he's not really paying attention. He is more attuned to the noises going on outside – every time a car drives past he peeks through the curtains to see if it's Kurt. His lip hurts from chewing it nervously. Somehow, Kurt employs stealth mode on his 'baby', because Finn doesn't hear him pull into the driveway, so the first he knows of Kurt's arrival is a sharp rap on the front door.

He rushes to open the door, and ushers Kurt into the living room. They sit there, at opposite ends of the sofa, for several minutes (that feel like hours), before they both start to speak at the same time.

"Finn-"

"Kurt-"

Kurt sighs. "It's still weird, huh?"

Finn screws his mouth up slightly and nods. "When I think about it, it doesn't feel weird. But it does now that you're here. And I feel bad. It's not you."

"I think you're right. We can just sit here for a while. What's on TV?" Kurt reaches for the remote, which is sitting on the arm of the sofa next to Finn. He sits a little closer. "We could watch a movie?" Flicking through the channels he finds one. "Homeward Bound in five minutes! I love this, it's so sad though."

"I've never seen it," admits Finn, much to Kurt's incredulity.

"You've. Never. Seen. Homeward. Bound?"

"Nope. I just know it's about some dog."

"Shadow is not 'some dog'. Shadow is five kinds of awesome. Go grab some kind of snack. And some tissues. You're gonna blub, I guarantee."

Finn manages to keep himself in check up until the last minute. And then Shadow appears, just as all hope is gone. Kurt turns to him and smirks slightly as he sees tears spill over. "Tissue?"

"Yeah, thanks. This never leaves the room, OK?" Finn wipes the tears away, slightly embarrassed. "We should do this again, though. Except no more films to make me cry. 'Film Night at Finn's', yeah?"

Kurt's happy with that. Next time, he thinks, he'll bring his DVD of The Notebook.
