FILL (Part 4: KURT)

[anonymous]

Kurt had arrived at Rachel’s around 3:00 and they’d been rehearsing steadily since then. Even Rachel was ready to quit when they realized it was almost midnight. Kurt was starving, they hadn’t even stopped for dinner, just chugging water when their voices seemed ready to give out.

Kurt was pulling on his coat when noticed Rachel’s untouched cell flashing on the coffee table. “Tou’ve got a text, Ms. Popularity. I’ll bet my Wicked playbill that it’s my dear brother bemoaning his hungry state, and miffed that we didn’t join him for dinner.”

Rachel skipped over, smiling fondly as she grabbed her phone. Her smile faded quickly as she read the text.

“Oh no, Kurt, check your phone. We’re terrible people.”

Kurt grabbed for his phone, reading the same message. He couldn’t disagree with her. The fact that it was Noah Puckerman calling them out made everything that much worse. Kurt, and he knew Rachel too, had dragged Finn through hoops on their birthdays and they had left Finn alone on his.

Climbing into his Navigator, he was not surprised to find Rachel already closing the door to the passenger seat.

“I just feel awful.” Kurt admitted. “Dad and Carole are still away and I just… I guess I just forgot. How do you forget your brother's birthday?”

“How do you forget your fiancé's?” Rachel whispered.

They were mostly silent for the rest of the drive home, and shared an apprehensive look before opening the front door.
