Fic: Finn is Bi and Life is Hard (Part II)
Part I
Part II
Finn walked into his house ten minutes later to find both parents in the living room. He spied on them for a moment, trying to figure out if they were mad or upset or something. When he realized that they weren’t going to move from their huddled position, he stepped into the room and cleared his throat.
“Mom? Burt?” he said, voice low.
Both adults looked up, relief on their faces. “Oh, Finn, baby, we were so worried about you,” said Carole, standing and going to her son.
“Worried?” Finn asked, confused.
“You just came out and left, son,” explained Burt, following his wife to Finn’s side. “We weren’t sure what to think.”
“Oh,” Finn felt guilty, realizing that he had left without saying where he was going. He’d never done that before. “I’m sorry. I just went over to Puck’s for some video games.”
“Well, next time tell us that,” said Burt, walking back to the couch and grabbing the tv remote. “It doesn’t matter how big of an exit you want to make, we need to know where you and Kurt are.”
“Speaking of Kurt,” said Carole, “I’m assuming he’s on a date with Dave?”
“Yeah,” said Finn, momentarily distracted, “He said he’d be home by midnight.”
“When did he tell you?” asked Burt.
“Before he left.”
Burt nodded, watching barely a minute of his tv show before muting it. “About him,” he started, but Carole cut him off.
“We don’t care what your sexuality is, Finn,” she said, guiding him to the couch. “You are our son, and we love you, just as we love Kurt.”
“But I don’t know what to think about you two both liking other boys,” said Burt.
“But I still like girls,” pointed out Finn. “You still have a chance for grandkids. Even if I did marry a guy, we could adopt.”
“While that is a concern, I know all that, and that’s not what I was talking about.”
“I’ve been trying to talk him out of this for the past hour,” said Carole.
“Do I need to have a 24/7 open doors policy?” asked Burt, as if Carole hadn’t even spoken.
Finn’s eyes went wide. Did they already know? “W-w-what do you mean?”
“Kurt did have a crush on you last year,” said Burt.
“He has a boyfriend,” defended Finn, thinking there might still be hope.
“And what if they break up? Do I have to worry about you and either of them?”
“Uh,” Finn frowned, not quite understanding, but decided to avoid having to give an actual answer. “I don’t think they’ll be breaking up any time soon.”
Burt stared at him, as if analyzing the answer and deciding whether or not it was satisfactory. After a moment he nodded. “Good.” Then he unmuted his program and relaxed into the couch.
Finn chuckled a little before standing up. “Well, then I guess I’m going to get ready for bed. Night Mom… Burt.”
Burt waved in his direction, seemingly ignoring him, but Finn saw the little smile on his lips that had nothing to do with the commercial currently talking about adult diapers.
He was wearing his pajama pants, lying back in his bed, debating whether or not to text Kurt with an ‘all clear’ when his mom knocked softly before stepping in.
“Yeah, mom?”
“I think you and I need to talk,” she said, sitting on the edge of the bed, taking his hand. “How did you figure out you were bisexual?”
Finn blushed. “Mom, do we have to talk about this? I thought you had already accepted it.”
“I did. I do. But I’m your mother, I want to understand it better.” She held up a hand before he could recite Kurt’s usual explanation. “I know you were born this way, but not everyone discovers this about themselves before college. How did you figure it out?”
“A friend helped me, Mom. I was watching Dave and Kurt for a few weeks, I had some questions and thoughts, and a friend helped me out. Simple as that.”
“A friend?”
“Yeah, Mom, nothing more.”
Carole grinned and nodded. “Well, knowing that, I feel I need to ask exactly what’s happening between you, Kurt, and Dave.”
Finn looked up like a deer in the headlights. “Why do you ask that?”
“Because you avoided all of Burt’s questions.”
“No I didn’t,” replied Finn, looking away.
“You could have said that you didn’t think of Kurt in that way,” she explained. “And you didn’t think Kurt and Dave would ever break up, which is probably true, but you could’ve just said no to Burt’s question.”
“So?”
“So,” Carole caught his gaze and held it. “Is anything going on between you three?”
Finn bit his lip, he’d never been able to resist that gaze. It was so open and inviting and pleading for the truth. “Not yet?”
Carole just grinned. “Did I tell you that when your dad and I first started dating, I was dating someone else at the same time?”
“You cheated on Dad?” Finn was appalled, why was she telling him this?
“No. Both men knew I was dating the other.” Carole squeezed her son’s hand, trying to keep him calm. “I just want to let you know that I’ve been there. I understand a little of what you may be going through, or will go through.”
Finn sighed. “So dad was bi, too?”
Carole shrugged. “Not really. He and Charles kissed, but they never did anything more with each other. It was mostly just them taking me-”
“OKAY! MOM!” Finn shrieked, covering his ears. “TMI!”
Carole laughed, gently pulling his hands away from his ears. “Okay, I’m sorry. So there isn’t anything at all between you three?”
“No mom. I think Kurt might want something, but it might have something to do with his crush. I told him to talk to Dave about it first.” Finn shrugged, playing with his comforter, “I don’t think I’d really say no, though, if they asked.”
“That’s fine,” said Carole, putting a hand on her son’s cheek. “Just remember, if you three need to talk to someone outside of your relationship, or if you just have some questions, I’m willing to listen.”
Finn nodded in understanding. “What about Burt?”
“I won’t say anything to him until you all are ready, or I’m forced by the circumstances. But I will keep trying to talk the three of you into saying something.”
“Okay, Mom,” said Finn, squeezing her hand, “Thank you.”
Carole smiled and stood, kissing Finn’s forehead. “Get some sleep, baby. I’m guessing you’ll want to talk to Kurt when he gets home.”
Finn nodded. “Night mom. Love you.”
“Love you, too,” she whispered, closing the door behind her.
~*~*~*~*~
Kurt licked his lips, pulling away from Dave’s newly spent cock. “Hmm, I love saying goodbye like that.” When all he heard in response was a light snore, Kurt smacked Dave’s thigh. “David,” he scolded.
Dave smiled, looking up at Kurt. “Couldn’t help it,” he teased.
By way of forgiveness, Kurt leaned up, kissing his boyfriend. “Okay, I have to go or else I’ll be late.”
“Yeah okay,” Dave sighed, watching as Kurt moved to the door. “Kurt?”
“Yeah sweetie?” Kurt paused, looking back.
“Do you really think Finn will go for this?”
Hearing the nervousness in the boy’s voice, Kurt returned to the bed and sat down, resting a hand over Dave’s arm. “I think he will. It may be temporary, but I really do think the three of us would work very well together.”
“Okay, as long as you think so.”
“I know so.” Standing up he quickly returned to the door. “Goodnight, Dave.”
~*~*~*~*~
Finn was only half asleep when Kurt got home and he clambered to his door to try and catch him. When he opened the door to find Kurt waiting there his cry of surprise was silenced by Kurt’s hand over his mouth.
“You’ll wake Dad and Carole,” Kurt hissed, pushing his way into Finn’s room.
“What are you doing, Kurt? It doesn’t matter if mom and dad wake up, you’re home on time.” He glanced at the clock, seeing that it was five after midnight. “Well, sort of.”
“I don’t want to wake them because I don’t want to be interrupted by them.” He turned to Finn then, kissing him on the lips. Pulling away he smirked at the surprised look on Finn’s face. “David and I talked. We want to try this with you.”
Finn looked away, taken a little off guard but looked back and grinned. “I think I want to try it too.”
Biting his lip, Kurt leaned in, taking another kiss, moaning as Finn pulled him back towards the bed. Just as Finn began to tumble onto it, Kurt pulled away and took out his phone.
“What are you doing?” asked Finn.
“I’m calling Dave,” said Kurt, straddling Finn’s waist, “I promised I would.” Putting the phone to his ear he leaned down and kissed the tip of Finn’s nose. “Besides, I don’t want to do a lot without Dave.”
“Kurt?” came Dave’s tired voice. “You okay?”
“He said yes,” sing-songed Kurt, his free hand running up and down Finn’s chest
“You couldn’t have told me in the morning?”
“Well, I’m in his bed. I didn’t think you would want to wait or miss anything.”
“Fuck. Are you naked?”
“No, but we could be.”
“Kurt,” Finn whispered, his hands rubbing the boy’s thighs. “What’s going on?”
“Dave is imagining us naked,” said Kurt, “Should we oblige?”
Finn was about to say yes, but the quiet squeak of a door made him snap his mouth shut. “Maybe not while Burt is in the house?”
Arching a brow, Kurt turned his head to listen, and sure enough he could hear his dad pretending to go get a glass of water from the kitchen to make sure that Kurt’s car was parked in the driveway. Sighing, he climbed off of Finn and whispered into the phone. “Scratch that, Dave. My dad is snooping around. Maybe some other time.”
“The three of us need to talk together,” said Finn. He didn’t know where such reasonable thoughts were coming from, but he still didn’t know what being involved with these guys meant, and the conversation with his mom wouldn’t let him ignore it.
Kurt nodded and promptly invited Dave over the next day while Carol and Burt were out. It sounded like Dave accepted as Kurt said a sweet farewell and put the phone away. He turned back to Finn and smiled. “So, we’re really doing this? You want to be in a three way relationship with us?”
“Is that what this is going to be?” asked Finn, propping himself up on his elbows. “A real relationship?”
Kurt tilted his head, thinking, but nodded. “I’d like to think so.” He glanced at the clock and stood. “But that’s what tomorrow is going to be about, isn’t it? Go on and sleep and we’ll solidify everything tomorrow, with David.” Leaning over he gave Finn a quick deep kiss before going to his room.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Finn was expecting the next day to be awkward, but it wasn’t. He and Kurt worked together, making lunch until Dave arrived and he happily joined in. All together, it helped Finn feel more comfortable with his decision to create this triad. Maybe it would succeed. And he said as much when they finally started talking about it after they finished eating.
“We do seem to fit together really well,” he said, smiling as Dave returned from taking the dishes to the sink. “Maybe this won’t be as hard as I keep thinking.”
“Well we don’t want to overthink it, do we?” said Dave, “I mean, it’s not like this is a common thing. People don’t usually have a triad relationship, so we have absolutely no reference to compare to.”
“Well, I did find some websites online that seemed to give legitimate advice,” said Kurt.
“And my mom offered to answer questions,” said Finn, forgetting that he hadn’t mentioned the conversation yet.
Dave choked on his water and Kurt looked at Finn in surprise.
“Carol knows?” Kurt’s voice was definitely higher than usual.
Finn shrugged. “She kinda figured it out on her own and I couldn’t bring myself to flat out lie to her. Besides, she was apparently in a triad with my dad and some other dude when they were in college. But I suggest we use her as a last resort.”
“Agreed.” Kurt nodded emphatically.
“Will she tell, Burt?” Dave finally managed to regain his composer.
“No. But she said she wouldn’t stop telling us to.”
Hugging himself, Kurt nodded. “As much as I don’t like the idea of telling my dad about us, I don’t like keeping a secret from him more.”
“But we don’t have to tell him right away, right?” The idea clearly scared Dave.
“Definitely not,” reassured Kurt.
There was a minute or so of silence as they all tried to think of what to talk about next. They all knew there was a lot to discuss, but none of them knew where to start. It took them a while, but eventually they came up with a few guidelines for themselves to maintain a healthy relationship. The top being open communication and all three should be aware of any sex. They didn’t all have to be present, but they all needed to know about it.
So two hours later, Dave gave both of his boyfriends a deep kiss before leaving. Finn was wondering what he and Kurt would do now. He knew that they had hung out plenty of times but now he wasn’t sure how long he’d last without wanting to make out. Fortunately, Kurt solved the problem for him by declaring that he was going to go out shopping with the girls. Finn lasted less than an hour alone before deciding to hang out with Puck.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The three managed to keep their relationship a secret for about a month before everything fell apart. It was a Friday night and the three had just managed to escape discovery by the glee club after their practice. Dave had decided to surprise the boys after practice and Finn was about to kiss him hello before turning it into a bro hug that Dave barely managed to explain away.
Now they all stood in the kitchen debating if they should come clean to someone and who that should be.
“I know you guys don’t like keeping secrets from your friends,” Dave argued, “But I don’t think it’s a good idea to tell the club. I feel like it would spread around the school really fast.”
“They won’t tell anyone outside the club if we ask them to,” defended Kurt.
“I’d rather just tell our closest friends,” suggested Finn. “Maybe just Mercedes and Puck?”
“And Rachel, and Tina, and Sam and Mike,” Dave held up his fingers as he rattled off the names. “You guys have to admit that everyone in glee is a close friend.”
Finn shrugged. “I just don’t like having to keep this part of me secret from Puck.”
Kurt tilted his head at that but before he could comment on it, Dave spoke up.
“You can always come clean about being bi, that is completely separate from telling anyone about the three of us.”
“But if I say I’m bi, people will ask how I know, and I’ll just end up telling them about how the three of us are in a relationship. Whether by accident or on purpose. You know how I can be.”
“Say that again.”
Finn opened up his mouth to repeat it, but Dave’s quiet curse and Kurt’s less quiet curse made him stop. And it was then that he realized that it was Burt who had spoken.
“Umm…” Finn had no idea what to say.
“You’re home early,” said Kurt in an attempt to avoid the inevitable.
“It’s my turn to cook the family dinner. You three are dating?”
Suddenly Carole appeared and smiled. “So you’ve finally decided to tell him?”
“Finally?! You knew?” At least Burt sounded more surprised than angry or upset.
“Well I had my suspicions since Finn came out to us.”
“That was a month ago!”
“I’m sorry Burt, but it wasn’t my place to tell you. I never stopped urging them to tell you though. Now why don’t you start on dinner? Let the boys talk and you can grill Finn and Kurt later.” Then Carole kissed Burt on the cheek and left the room.
Burt still looked stunned and the boys took their chance and left the kitchen, moving instead to the living room, knowing it would be better for Burt’s state of mind if they stayed away from bedrooms.
“Well at least we don’t have to worry about my dad anymore,” said Kurt.
“Speak for yourself,” said Dave. “He was scary enough when I was just dating you. Now add Finn? I’m screwed if I ever mess up.”
“You won’t screw up,” said Finn. He was clearly thinking about something, and Dave and Kurt didn’t have to wait long before he shared. “I need to tell Puck about us. We’ve been friends since before grade school and I can’t keep this from him any longer.”
Kurt smiled and nodded. “I’d be okay with that.”
Dave nodded as well and let out a sigh. “And you guys can tell the club whatever you want. Just, not Schuester. You know he’d try and get involved.”
“Ugh, yes. No Mr. Schue,” agreed Kurt.
After a few seconds of silent nodding from all three, Finn suggested a video game and Kurt happily took out his fashion magazines and let the others enjoy their game. Then, a few minutes before Dave had decided to leave, Burt asked him to stay for family dinner night. Dave reluctantly agreed and both Finn and Kurt managed to relieve some of his nerves before they sat down to eat.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Since they would be telling the glee club, Finn made sure to get together with Puck before Monday. Luckily, it was at Puck’s place and they had the house to themselves. They were between video games when Finn just burst out what he had been trying to say all afternoon.
“I’m bi, and I’m dating Kurt and Dave.”
Puck immediately muted the tv and stared straight at Finn. Apparently, after a minute or so he saw what he was looking for and returned his attention to the game. “Okay.”
“What?” Finn was definitely confused. “That’s all you have to say?”
Puck paused the game just before Finn died and sighed. “Dude, I’m a member of the glee club. After your girlfriend had my kid and Kurt started dating his ex-bully, there’s not a lot that can surprise me anymore.”
“I… okay. Cool.”
Needless to say, when the boys told the glee club they reacted much the same way.
The End
A/N: There is a third (and probably final) story from this verse in the works. It should be longer. So hopefully that will make up for the speed I had this one go. I think I was really wanting to get to the third story.
