Three Times The Hummel Verse

Teasing Siblings

"Oooo. Somebody's in love!" Carson teased as Kurt closed the front door behind him.

"Shut up Carson." He said before walking into the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Ha! You didn't deny it!" Carson chimed as he followed him. Chris and Finn were sitting at the table doing homework and they both looked up when they walked in.

"Why do you always pounce on me every time I get home from a date Carson?" Kurt opened the fridge and pulled out lettuce for a salad. "I don't jump on you when you go out with someone."

"That's because you know I don't really care for the people I go out with. You wuv him?" He said trying to be funny.

"No, we haven't said I love you." Kurt said, not looking up from where he was chopping vegetables.

"Why not?" Finn voiced, joining the conversation.

"Because that's not how it works guys, we've only been dating for a month." Kurt was clearly getting annoyed at the questions. Chris saw this and tried to change the subject.

"Back off guys. Carson, Dad's going to be home soon, did u take out the trash like he wanted?" Carson groaned and left the room. Kurt flashed Chris a grateful smile.

The kitchen went silent as Chris and Finn went back to their homework and Kurt continued to make his salad. The sound of a door slamming startled everyone. "I'm home!" Burt shouted.

"In the kitchen Dad." Kurt shouted back. Burt appeared in the doorway.

"Hey, didn't you have a date with Blaine tonight Kurt?" Kurt dropped his head into his hands and Finn started laughing. "What?" Burt said confused.

"We beat you to the punch Dad." Chris replied. "Carson already interrogated him. Just let it be." Carson came back into the room at the mention of his name.

"I did the garbage dad."

"Thanks Bud. So what's for dinner Kurt? Carol gets off her shift in ten minutes, want me to tell her to pick up some take-out on her way home?"

"Sure, but I'm going to eat this salad now. I'm starving." Kurt said as he carried his plate to the kitchen table next to Chris.

"What, your boyfriend doesn't feed you?" Chris jabbed, making Carson and Finn laugh.

"Oh here we go again." Kurt started, looking angry again. "We spend most of our afternoons together at a coffee house, where we drink coffee. Coffee does not fill one's stomach!"

"Ok guys, back off your brother. Speaking of dates, how was yours yesterday Finn?" Burt said, trying to make the playing field more even.

Finn seemed to squirm in his seat. "Ok I guess. Every time we go out we basically go to eat and I listen her talk." Everyone in the room began to chuckle, making Finn's cheeks grow warm. "I like Rachel, but our relationship is so one sided."

"There you go Carson. Someone else to annoy with your dating questions." Kurt said around a mouthful of lettuce.

"I don't have dating questions. I just like watching you be uncomfortable when I bother you." Carson said defensively.

"Well Carson, who was the last person you dated?" Burt said curiously. Carson tended to keep to himself and Burt had no idea who Carson was interested in.

"Hmm let me think. The last person I dated was that new girl Sugar. She was annoying as hell. I can't stand to be around her anymore."

"No one can dude. How long did you guys go out for?" Finn questioned.

"Eh, two weeks maybe. That was about as much of her as I could take." He said as he went to sit on the other side of Finn.

"Alright. Your turn Chris." Burt said, glad he was able to give everyone the attention they had been giving Kurt.

Chris gave Burt a double take. "Me? I didn't attack Kurt. If anything I defended him."

"That's only partially what I'm doing. I got to everyone else. I'm just generally interested."

"Oh um. I'm not dating any one right now." He said awkwardly, avoiding everyone's gazes.

"Well is there anyone you're interested in?" Kurt asked kindly. He didn't want to push him, but he was curious as to who had caught his brother's eye.

Chris was quiet for a couple seconds before giving a timid reply. "Not really. The guys at McKinley aren't that great. They're all just a bunch of Neanderthals."

"Ok, we won't pry. I'm going to go call Carol and see if she can pick up dinner." Burt said before he left the kitchen, leaving the four boys alone facing each other. An awkward silence fell over the room.

Carson was the first to speak. "So, you guys can't stand Sugar either, huh?"

Sudden bursts of laughter broke out, getting rid of any lingering feelings of uneasiness.
