Finn Hudson sat at the counter in the kitchen. He sat in front of a bowl of corn flakes, but was simply moving them around with his spoon instead of eating them. He wasn't really concentrating on his breakfast.

Kurt Hummel sat at the table, near Finn, reading a fashion magazine, looking extremely comfortable. A year ago, this would have been extremely awkward for both Kurt and Finn. But now that the two boys had become stepbrothers, this sort of thing had become part of their routine. Finn was more comfortable around Kurt than he was around Puck. Kurt tried to deny it, but Finn was his only friend other than Mercedes (and Blaine, but it was questionable whether or not Blaine belonged in the friend category).

This was the first time that Kurt and Finn had ever had the house to themselves for the week. Their parents had recently come into a little bit of money, and they were still able to manage Kurt's private school tuition, along with their honeymoon in Waikiki.

As a result of this, the two boys would be depending on each other quite a bit for the next week. Because Kurt no longer owned his car (his baby had been taken away when his dad found his tiara in his hope chest), Finn had agreed to drive his stepbrother to school and pick him up afterwards.

Several minutes later, Kurt glanced up at the giant cuckoo clock that hung on their living room wall. They had only seven minutes left to get to school.

Finn and Kurt made a mad dash for Finn's ancient truck. Finn pulled out of the driveway and headed down the street, only to turn around; stopping for the short amount of time it took for an irritated Kurt to hop into the car. The two boys did not even pause to speak to each other until they arrived at the Dalton Academy.

Kurt got out of the truck as quickly as possible, obviously not wanting his new friends to think that he couldn't afford his own car. He had never cared about those things at McKinley, where Finn's truck would have been considered nice.

Instead of driving towards his own school, Finn remained in his parking space. Through his review mirror, he saw Kurt. He was walking with another boy, slightly shorter than Kurt, although Finn hadn't even considered this as a possibility.

After a few minutes of watching Kurt and his new friend, Finn finally recognized the other boy. It was Blaine Evans. Finn and Sam, the new kid at school, had had a group Spanish project that required Finn to come over to Sam's house. There, he had met and had dinner with Sam's entire family. Sam's parents were very welcoming to Finn, obviously thrilled that their son had made a friend. Sam's thirteen year old sister, Erica, spent the entire length of dinner trying to text under the table. Then there was Sam's older brother, Blaine, was curious to Finn. He didn't resemble his younger brother, but it was something about his goofy expression that let Finn know that he was Sam's brother. Through the course of dinner, Finn learned that Sam used to go to school with his brother, until he had gotten kicked out for bullying another student.

Finn looked back at Kurt and Blaine, once again. He did a double take when he saw what they were doing. Was Blaine Evans kissing his brother? No, it couldn't be. There was no way that Sam's older brother could possibly be gay. Finn was not homophobic in the least; he practically had to be accepting, living in the same house as Kurt. But it just seemed a little too weird for this to be happening, so Finn tried to think of some logical explanation for this. When he couldn't think of anything, Finn came to the realization that Sam Evans and Kurt Hummel might be… dating.

Blaine and Kurt were finally out of Finn's sight, and Finn drove off towards his own school. Who would have thought that this would have happened? Certainly not Finn Hudson.

After the school day was over, Finn dutifully went to pick up Kurt from his own school. A million questions were forming in Finn's head. As he drove up toward Dalton Academy, he saw Kurt sitting on the curb with Blaine.

"Hey," said Kurt to Finn, out of breath and still wearing his royal blue gym uniform. "Can you drive Blaine home, as well? His brother borrowed his car."

This made sense to Finn, as Sam had been planning on taking Quinn out to dinner tonight, which would have been pretty hard to do without a car.

"Oh, I'm sorry Blaine. This is my stepbrother, Finn. He goes to McKinley, and he's in New Directions. Finn this is Blaine. He, er, has been showing me around," said Kurt, trying to be polite.

"I think we've already met," said Blaine, smiling the same crooked face that Finn had seen on Sam's face earlier that day, when he had been partnered with his girlfriend, Quinn, for a project. It was weird to see such similarities on such different looking people. Finn momentarily wondered if Sam's natural hair color was similar to Blaine's. He thought about this for several moments, before being brought back to reality by Kurt.

"Earth to Finn," said Kurt, waving his hand in front of Finn's face. "Are you planning on driving us home any time soon? Or are you just going to sit here for the next few years with that dopey grin on your face?"

Normally, Finn would have quickly offered a not-so-clever retort to Kurt's insult, but at the moment he was so consumed in thinking that he simply obeyed Kurt's command and took off driving.

"So, how do you two know each other, anyway?" asked Kurt. Finn glanced in the mirror and caught a panicked look on Blaine's face. Even Finn could tell that the boy obviously wanted this to remain a secret.

"Oh. I bumped into Blaine at sectionals. Literally. I was running towards the door and practically barreled him over."

Kurt laughed, and then turned to Blaine. "I'm sorry you had to endure that, Blaine. My brother is an idiot."

Blaine laughed a restrained laugh, sending Finn a grateful look. "It was actually kind of funny. Don't worry about it Finn."

"Finn? Would you mind stopping at the drugstore for just one second?" asked Kurt. "I need to get a pack of colored copy paper. It's for a geometry project. Things are so different at Dalton, even math class is interesting."

"Sure, sure," said Finn, pulling into the parking lot. Kurt went into the store, his eyes wide open, searching for that colored copy paper as if it was a do or die mission. With Kurt's absence, this left Finn and Blaine in the car alone.

"Thanks for covering for me. I owe you one," said Blaine.

"Why don't you want him to know that you're related to Sam? It's not like it's a big deal or anything," said Finn, nonchalantly.

"No, no, you have it all wrong," said Blaine. "I'm not trying to keep Kurt from finding out that Sam is my brother. I'm trying to keep Sam from finding out that I'm… with a guy," he explained.

"Why?" asked Finn, genuinely confused. "Sam's not a homophobic, I'm sure he'll support you no matter what you are."

Blaine looked at Finn with the expression of a man who had been through so much. "Did Sam ever tell you why he got kicked out of Dalton?"

Finn shrugged, unconcerned, obviously unaware of where Blaine was taking this. "He got kicked out because he was bullying someone. That didn't really seem in character, but I heard Dalton's pretty strict about that stuff."

"Well, the person Sam was "bullying" was the boy who insisted that I was gay. He called me names and followed me around, much similarly to what that Karofsky fellow is doing to Kurt. Anyways, Sam was pretty popular at Dalton and he was upset that people were messing with his brother. He talked to me about it, and I insisted that I was not gay, because I was afraid that even my own brother wouldn't accept me this way. Sam attacked the boy and he got kicked out. I'll never be able to repay that kind of sacrifice. If Sam found out that I lied to him, he would be absolutely devastated. I couldn't have him find out this way."

Finn didn't respond at first, he had a quizzical expression on his face, obviously processing this information. "Just tell him, Blaine. He'll be glad that you're being honest with him, I'm sure of it. Sam's a good guy."

Blaine appeared almost frightened. "I will, I promise. Just give me a few days. And promise me that you won't tell Kurt."

"I wouldn't do that. Just try to tell Sam," said Finn.

"I promised didn't I? A promise is a promise. And in my world, that's that," said Sam. These words seemed oddly familiar to Finn, and he tried to figure out why. He finally realized that this was exactly what Sam had told him when he had tried to convince Sam that he should back out of a duet with Kurt, something he was now ashame of. These Evans boys were sure stubborn.

Kurt walked back to the car, empty handed. "The incompetent salesman could not help me find my colored copy paper. I decide that if the staff was that unpleasant, then I would take my business elsewhere."

"Where to now?" asked Finn.

"Home, James," said Kurt.

Finn listened to Blaine and Kurt chatter until they arrived at Blaine's house. Blaine got out of the car, saying good-bye to Kurt and Finn.

Before Blaine left, he thanked Finn for the ride.

"Don't mention it," said Finn. In a lower tone of voice, he added, "Tell your brother."

Blaine nodded and hurried up the steps to his house.
