a/n: we have a mention of a character death here (I'm not sure if I'm supposed to warning for that or not)
Quinn ambushed them at the grocery store the next day, jumping out from an adjacent aisle and calling Finn's name. Kurt stopped his intent studying of the jars of organic peanut butter to glare at her but Finn stepped forward so she could wrap her arms around his waist.
"Thank you for fixing my car. It works great." She peered around Finn's arm. "Hi, Kurt. Nice boot."
Kurt popped open one of the jars and jabbed a finger through the seal.
"Dude," Finn said. "Not cool." He took the jar from his brother's hands and set it in the cart.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Quinn nodded down the aisle for him to follow. As soon as Finn's back was turned, Kurt reached for another jar of peanut butter.
"How is he?" Quinn asked once out of ear shot.
Finn shrugged. "He's Kurt. You know, chasing away housekeepers and trying to set the house on fire." He paused and gave her a look. "You don't need a second job or anything, do you?"
"Oh, no!" Quinn threw her hands up. "I love you and I love Kurt, but I've heard the stories, Finn. There's no way I'm babysitting him."
"But-"
"No. Listen. Why don't the two of us get together tomorrow for some coffee? We can catch up."
"I can't leave Kurt alone."
"Bring him with you. He can sequin a coffee mug or something."
Finn shifted, glancing between the two of them uneasily as he slowly turned the offer over in his mind. Going out for coffee was, like, a date, right? He couldn't date right now, not with Kurt and the shop taking up so much of his time.
"Maybe some other time?" Quinn suddenly said, a sad smile on her lips.
"Yeah. Sorry."
She nodded and turned to walk away. Finn watched her until she disappeared around the corner.
"She wants you to kiss her," Kurt said.
Finn spun around to stare at a fourth jar of peanut butter open in Kurt's hands. "Seriously. What is up that?"
Kurt stuck a peanut butter covered finger into his mouth, licked the food off, then said, "This peanut butter sucks."
"Kurt." Finn took the jar and put in the cart with the rest. "Why do you keep eating it?" Hell, Kurt ate any type of peanut butter he could get his hands on.
"Lauren said I have to make sure they don't suck."
Finn stared at him, uncertain what to say. He finally settled on, "When'd you talk to Lauren?"
"She called yesterday."
Finn looked away and muttered under his breath.
"What'd you say?" Kurt asked as they started down the aisle. Finn grabbed the fifth jar out of his hands and tossed it in the cart.
"It's nothing. Let's go home."
He couldn't bring himself to remind Kurt that Lauren Zizes had died last year.

He couldn't bring himself to remind Kurt that Lauren Zizes had died last year. I think my heart may have died a bit after reading that. I loved their supermarket trip. Kurt being extra helpful with the peanut butter, of course! There was such wonderful interactions between both him and Finn and then Quinn. Then that last part made me feel so much for both of them!
