For Finn/Kurt Winter Fest Prompt:
85. Burt and Carole tell Finn and Kurt to invite their significant others over for dinner. Problem is, Finn and Kurt are secretly dating each other.
Finn Hudson couldn't wait to go home for the holidays. He’d just finished the last exam of his first semester and he was exhausted. As he headed back to his dorm to pack he checked his phone and noticed his mom had left a voicemail during the test.
“Hi honey, it’s me mom. Burt and I have decided it’s time we meet whoever is keeping you from coming home and making you sound so happy. It’s either this or I’m getting a Facebook to keep an eye on you. Give me a call when you leave campus. Love you!”
Finn reached his room and flopped down onto his bed. His roommate had already left so at least he had the room to himself. He sighed and hit #1 on his speed-dial and left a simple message, “Hey, it’s me. We’ve got a problem.”
Kurt Hummel had loved his first semester at Oberlin. Not only had he been able to walk the campus without fear, but he was free to dress and sing what he wanted as well. Having a hot boyfriend didn’t hurt, even if they didn’t live in the same city. As good as college life was he was looking forward to spending time with his family. His parents had been understanding when he’d decided to spend his Thanksgiving break doing volunteer work at a Cleveland soup kitchen with his friends instead of coming home, but it didn’t mean he wasn’t in a rush to spend some time with his dad. As he left the last chorus rehearsal of the season he decided to check his voicemail.
“Hey kiddo, it’s me. Carole and I are expecting to meet whoever has you so happy. Don’t think I can tell, your credit card bill is half of normal. Invite them over for dinner during the break. I’m sure their parents will understand. I’ll see you when you get here, no texting on the road!”
Kurt had two thoughts after that message, first, that he wasn’t so sure his parents are going to understand and second, that his dad and Carole should lay off the Dateline specials. He pressed a key for the second message.
“Hey, it’s me. We’ve got a problem.”
Well, unless Finn had totally frozen and bombed one of his exams it seemed this dinner invitation had been a parental tag-team. He couldn’t argue with Finn’s message, this was definitely a problem. Their parents were expecting to meet Kurt’s boyfriend and Finn’s girlfriend for the holidays, when the truth was much, much closer to home. During the last several months Finn had fallen for Kurt, and since Kurt had never really gotten past his feelings for Finn the two had started dating. They knew that some people wouldn’t understand given the whole step-brother thing, so the boys’ college friends only knew them as the other’s boyfriend and nothing else. They had decided that they would keep their relationship a secret from their parents at least for a while, if things didn’t work out it would be awkward enough without them knowing. They’d only been dating for a few months, but things had started changing for them a few months before that.
