Kurt and Rachel Go GLAM (Kurt, Rachel)
He had said no. He had said it was a bad idea (and it was).
Still, he finds himself the vice-president of McKinley's first-ever GayLesbAll.
He gets her to change that horrific name to GLAM. It stands for Gays & Lesbian At McKinley, but they pitch it to Figgins at as Gays, Lesbians And More. She does all the talking during the faculty meeting.
They meet Wednesdays after school.
Rachel lets him bang the gavel. Although every time he does it, her eye twitches and he's pretty sure a part of her soul dies.
The group starts small at first.
They invite Santana & Brittany, but only one shows up.
Mercedes & Tina come to a few meetings, but they're trying to drop the hag label they've been given by the rest of the school.
One of the jazz band members joins. And a few guys from the lacrosse team.
Jessica Miller joins and spends every meeting hitting on Rachel with an increasing enthusiasm. Rachel bakes her a tray of "I'm sorry, but I'm straight" sugar cookies. They do not deter Jessica in the slightest.
Miller's ex shows up with her current girlfriend and they start an angry lesbian faction within the club. Things get political; Rachel handles it with the swift ruthlessness of a South American dictator. "I will not stand for a junta," she proclaims and Kurt thinks that: okay, he still hates her but he would not totally hate a world ruled by Rachel Berry. Especially if she lets him bang the gavel.
The group grows steadily. There are gay guys. Lesbians. The bi-curious. The queer. Their supporters.
(Rachel is still the gayest person in the room.)
There's an afternoon where Puck saunters in and everyone does a double-take. Nobody really knows what to make of it until he jumps into a discussion between Georgia Finkles and her flavour of the week. "And all I'm saying is that you can't rule out the cock until you've tried it. Bring your girlfriend, too. We'll make a night of it." That's right about the time Rachel kicks him out of the club with a sigh and a shake of her head. He gets up, gives her a kiss on the forehead and says "I tried, Berry. I tried." on his way out.
They do fundraisers for charity. Sign petitions for the community.
When Ronny Perkins comes out and gets kicked out of his house, he and Rachel find him a spot at the youth hostel for the night.
She hugs him afterward and he lets her.
Rachel talks the Glee club into performing at the school's first GLAM night.
She asks him to dance and he humors her, and when Jeremy Greener asks her if he can cut in and she winks before walking off, he finds himself winking back.
So, it was a bad idea. But they both look fierce as all hell in the yearbook club picture.

The Square Root of Four (F/B, P/R)
They brought her to practice after school one day. She was passed around, fawned over and more than a few of the Gleeks teared up when they hold her.
When Finn asked quietly if he could hold her, just for a little bit, Puck passed her off without hesitation. Finn cupped her head, careful to shift the new weight in his arms properly, unlike Puck who had to be told time and again how to do it. Finn had read the baby books.
Finn held her for less than a minute before his face clouded over and he choked out an apology, pressing her into Kurt's arms and walking briskly out of the room.
They didn't bring her to practice again after that.
Quinn had tried to be the one to get Finn out of his slump. But no matter how much they both wanted to go back to before, she was always going to be the one who had taken that child away from him, paternity be damned. There were some things even Finn Hudson couldn't forgive.
Although the one who did finally bring a smile back to his face came as a shock to the rest of the club.
"Really? Brittany?" Puck asked him as Finn rinsed the suds off his Golf. "Really?"
“Puck, it's been three months. So yes, really.”
When Finn had first shuffled up to her before practice, bright red, and mumbled "Wouldyouliketogetsomedinnersometime?" and Brittany answered "Sure! Do you want to come with me?" the rest of the club spent the afternoon throwing bewildered looks at each other.
They didn't know about the walks home, when he would let out all his pain about the betrayal and his temporary life as a father or the way she would invite him into her house and read him her favorite children’s books in a misguided attempt at cheering him up.
They didn't know about how he always grinned at her courtside when he sunk a basket or that she would tell him "I cheered hardest for you, Finn, because you're so sad sometimes and I'm a cheerleader so it's a good thing we're friends now because this is my job."
She'd been the one to follow him out after he first held the baby that wasn't his.
He'd been the one to suggest they befriend the foreign exchange student in an effort to improve their Spanish.
(Rachel had been the one who had to tell them Jacques was from France, not Spain, but they found that they both really liked the croissants he packed for lunch so they still hung out with him, anyway.)
She called him whenever Coach Sylvester complimented her in practice, and he'd have to explain that sometimes Sue Sylvester said one thing but really meant another.
He texted her whenever he saw a rainbow.
When Puck had asked him what was going on between the two of them, Finn had just said "She makes me happy." and there's not much one can say to that, so he had left it alone.
Until the following day when Brittany had brought Finn some cookies she had baked for him after their date and he ate them without complaint even though they were suspiciously fuzzy. Puck just raised an eyebrow, and Brittany stage whispered "My cat helped me make them" and flounced off and all Puck could say was "Really, Hudson? Really?"
Finn once admitted to him how nice it was to date someone that didn't come with all that extra baggage of having been with both best friends. And that was why Puck never mentioned anything about that night during Spring Break (although Santana had done most of the legwork so he didn't really know if that even counted.)
Finn never told Puck that he knew about Spring Break, and that he sometimes asked Brittany to tell him the story in detail, minus any mention of Puck because that was a weird image to have in your head when... you know.
- - - -
It’s been years, now. Puck still tends to question it every once in a while and Finn still always tells him yes, really, he’s sure.
He wants to ask how Puck even has room to talk what with his weird on-again-off-again relationship with Rachel. Brittany never throws all of his clothes into the middle of the street after an argument or calls him when she's on dates with other guys to let him know how much fun she's having. Brittany doesn't go out on dates with people that aren't him.
What he does say is, "Puck, it's been five years. So yes, really." And then he asks Puck if he's sure about his relationship, Puck just snorts and says no, and they spend the night drinking beer while waiting for Rachel to come home.
After a while he can't really remember a time in his life without her. But he can't remember a time in his life where Puck ever left him alone, either.
So when Finn turns to look at his friend with an expectant look on his face he is not surprised when Puck asks him, one last time, "Really?"
He just grins and says "Hand me the ring, Puckerman."

Strange Bedfellows (P/Q)
"He's left us," she mumbles.
He. Us. There is a difference now.
"No biggie," he says, pulling on a strand of golden hair. "He's still Finn. He'll be back."
A tear drops down her cheek. She doesn't want him to make her feel better. "He's changing..."
"He's not." His patience is waning. If he wanted to feel worse about this he'd let himself think about how he is losing his best friend and can't do a thing about it. So he doesn't think about it. And he hates her for forcing him to.
"God, don't you even care? You don't even care that he doesn't like you anymore? That he's replaced you?"
"Shut up," he says coldly. "And stop fucking crying. There’s nothing to care about. Finn’s fine."
He doesn't mention getting laughed out of the florist shop when he tried to buy a Get Well Soon bouquet for Mrs. H's prostate operation. Or the hours he spent online trying to figure out what the fuck was so funny about it.
Instead he lets out a belch and throws an empty beer bottle over the side of his truck. In lands in the grass with a soft thump and he turns to her. "He’s just joined ‘cause he’s jonesing for that Gleetard," he says and then hands her a second wine cooler as she looks down with teary eyes.
She starts her pathetic sniffling again, so he mumbles “The stars are nice,” half to distract her and half to distract himself. She lets out a hollow laugh.
“Shut up, Puck,” she says tiredly, curling up into a small ball on the bed of the truck.
“Whatever,” he mutters, leaning back to rest his head against his folded arms.
