“Finn, if you touch that tie one more time I’m going to strangle you with it,” Kurt scolded from the other room.
Finn immediately dropped his fingers from where they’d frozen an inch from his tie. He heard Blaine laugh and he turned to glare at his brother’s boyfriend, who was standing beside the couch under strict orders from Kurt not to sit and wrinkle his suit. Finn had the same orders so he was standing by the television.
“Nervous?” Blaine asked.
“No,” Finn lied.
“Liar,” Blaine accused and Finn glared again.
If there was one thing Finn had learned since he’d announced who’d asked him to the prom, it was that Kurt would do anything to make sure his date was perfect. He was pretty sure Kurt was more excited about his prom date than he was about going with Blaine. And some days Blaine acted just as excited.
“Kurt, I can’t do this,” Finn called, watching the realization dawn on Blaine’s face. “Blaine’s making me nervous. This isn’t a good idea.”
“Blaine Anderson!” Kurt stomps into the living room and Blaine immediately pales. “What did you do?”
“I just asked him if he was nervous,” Blaine quickly defended himself. He had to admit Kurt was sexy when he got riled up about something; he just wished the anger wasn’t directed at him.
“Are you trying to sabotage all my hard work?” Kurt demanded before he turned to face Finn, anger melting from his face into a compassionate expression. “Finn, it’s going to be fine. Blaine and I will be there, and so will Puck and Mike and Quinn. No one is going to mess with you guys.”
The doorbell rang, signalling the arrival of Finn’s date. Blaine moved to answer it since Finn was just staring in the door’s direction with huge, scared eyes. Kurt’s pep talk had just given Finn reason to be nervous.
“Come on in,” Blaine smiled and stepped aside. “Finn’s in the living room freaking out.”
Sam just chuckled as he made his way to the living room. When Finn and Rachel had found him at the bar and convinced him to come back to Lima, Sam had planned on getting back together with Mercedes. Then he’d found out she had a boyfriend and every effort he’d made to get her to notice him again had failed. He was staying at Mike’s house but he spent most of his time at Kurt’s and Finn’s, mostly to avoid the happy couple of Mike and Tina and that resulted in lots of time to talk to Finn. It seemed like the more he talked to Finn, the more he realized everything he thought he knew about the other boy was wrong. Finn shared the same insecurities, the same worries, and the same issues as he did and it was hard not to feel a connection.
“Hi,” he said softly, smiling as Finn turned to look at him and earned a growl from Kurt, who was trying to fix Finn’s tie. Sam wondered how often Kurt had already fixed it so far tonight.
“Hi,” Finn echoed and Sam could see a blush on his cheeks. He’d made Finn Hudson blush.
“Oh, you both look so nice,” Carole’s voice came from somewhere behind Sam, sounding giddy and slightly terrifying. “Stand together. I need pictures. Where’s Blaine? I want pictures of him with you Kurt. And my boys together. And all four of you.”
“Right here Mrs Hummel,” Blaine spoke up from behind her. “I was just fixing my cufflinks.”
“So handsome,” Carole smiled at him. “Burt, come see the boys!”
They spent the next half-hour letting Carole position them into every pose imaginable before Kurt finally announced they had to leave. They were meeting their friends at Tina’s house for dinner instead of going out to a restaurant. Sam suspected their plans were for his benefit so as not to run into Mercedes and Shane at Breadsticks, the only restaurant in town big enough to accommodate a group their size but he didn’t complain. Having a pot lock dinner was cheaper for everyone and with graduation so close, they were all saving their money.
“Hey guys,” Mike greeted them after he’d opened the door. “Everyone else is in the dining room.”

They followed him to the dining room where the table was already full of dishes of food. The four of them found room for their own dishes and took their seats so everyone could start filling their plates. Artie, Puck, and Rory were the singles boys of their group and had declared a threesome bro-date, Quinn and Sugar had follow their example with a girls-date, and Mike and Tina, Brittany and Santana, Kurt and Blaine, and Sam and Finn were the couples. Mercedes was off somewhere, probably Breadsticks from what Quinn had heard, and Rachel’s name was never mentioned.
Sam had been the one to find Finn after she’d not only broken up with him, but almost succeeded in breaking him. She’d announced that she was transferring to another school, one in New York, to finish out her senior year and to give herself a better shot at Broadway. NYADA had rejected her but she’d make New York accept her but to do that, she couldn’t have Finn in her life. Or more specifically, she didn’t want Finn in her life. It was less than a week after Finn had found out the truth about his father and while he’d been reaching out to her for comfort, Rachel had abandoned him.
At their first practice after Rachel left, it became clear that Finn was the most affected but they all felt abandoned and betrayed by her. They were never her friends; they were merely a stepping stone for her on her way to what she truly wanted: stardom. Some of them, Kurt and Mercedes, wanted the same thing but couldn’t imagine walking over their friends or someone they claimed to love just for the chance at fame. It was a conversation with Quinn that opened Sam’s eyes to just how manipulative Rachel was during her relationship with Finn. Quinn, who after Finn was the most-changed because of Rachel’s actions, recognized how Rachel manipulated Finn until he felt he couldn’t live without her but she never really loved him in return. Finn loved her so much that he wanted to be someone better, someone who deserved the love of another person, but Rachel had no interest in being deserving; she was more interesting in playing with someone’s heart and being worshipped. Quinn admitted that she feared she’d come close to being like Rachel and she didn’t want that to happen.
Finn slowly got over Rachel but the hurt was always present and made him unwilling to trust many people. Oddly enough, it was Santana who was the angriest about that, saying how even when she and Finn were fighting he still saw the good in her that even she didn’t think existed, something normally only Brittany saw. Sam was practically living at Finn’s house and they were all working on undoing the damage Rachel had done, wondering how they had missed how worthless Finn felt because of her.
With all the drama, they’d all forgotten about the upcoming prom. Tickets were laying forgotten in a drawer in Finn’s desk for him and Rachel and a suit already bought and approved by Kurt hanging in his closet. Finn had decided not to go and Sam was all set to stay at home with him but the others stepped in. They were the ones to convince Finn to attend the prom and for Sam to take the extra ticket since he’d missed out when they were sold at the beginning of the year. The plan was for them to go as friends but the more they got to know each other, the more they started to question themselves.
Sam felt bad for Kurt and Blaine, since they got the most of the questions, the freak outs, and the late night conversations. Sam didn’t know what Finn talked about with them but he could tell from the yawns and huge coffee cups that there’d been more than one late night talk. There were a million reasons why they shouldn’t try a relationship: they were both rebounding, they were both questioning their sexuality, they both had a bad track record with relationships. Their first date was a safe triple-date with Kurt, Blaine, Mike, and Tina and it went so well that the next weekend they went to a movie by themselves.

The closer the prom got, the more Sam was getting pressure from the girl to ask Finn to be his real prom date. Finn was getting the same pressure and the intense glares they got from the girls whenever they were in the same room were almost unbearable. That must have been how Kurt and Blaine felt for the week they’d broken up and the girls kept trying to get them back together.
It was him who’d asked Finn. He stole Finn’s prom ticket from his drawer when he went to the bathroom and gave it back to him the next night after their date. He’d been rewarded with one of Finn’s smiles and a whisper of ‘I really like you’ in his ear. They weren’t at the love stage, they might never get to that stage, but there was definitely something more than just friends trying to date between them.
“I propose a toast,” Blaine said, lifting his glass. Everyone else quickly copied him. “To a great night full of fun and friends and to not being the entertainment for once.”
Finn immediately dropped his fingers from where they’d frozen an inch from his tie. He heard Blaine laugh and he turned to glare at his brother’s boyfriend, who was standing beside the couch under strict orders from Kurt not to sit and wrinkle his suit. Finn had the same orders so he was standing by the television.
