Oh, Brother?

Which Hudson Wins?

My Gunnar, Kaya muse has left the building. Everyone seems to hate Kaya any way so I'll be doing away with her. I have plans for Gunnar and his drumming, never fear.

It was here, the final two rounds of the Battle of the Bands. Ever since the Hudson revelation, Finn and Gunnar have forged a tentative relationship. They've gone out had coffee alone, with Blaine and Kurt, even with Rachel. Kaya always seems to have something else to do. She's been distant. Taking secret phone calls and texts. He knows she's pulling away from him. He just hopes she'll do the right thing before she cheats on him again. Maybe he'll break up with her. Make it easier on both of them.

Gunnar thinks she's still intimidated by Rachel, but what he's seem out of Rachel she seems like a wonderful girl. Kaya is being insecure. Gunnar wishes he could help her.

"Hey, bunny! You home? Gunnar calls out after making his way through the apartment. He hears some whispered voices. He is still walking to the living room and he sees Taylor sitting on the couch with Kaya. They are drinking some beers and sitting a little too close for Gunnar's comfort.

"What's going on? Gunnar asks.

They hear him and are startled. Kaya jumps up and away from Taylor to give Gunnar a hug.

"Baby, when did you get home? I missed you" Kaya says standing to kiss Gunnar on the mouth.

"I was yelling from the door, how could you not know I was home? Gunnar questions

"I guess we were so into our conversation we didn't hear you." She says back to her boyfriend before grabbing her beer and going to the kitchen.

"You want one?" she asks Gunnar. He nods, she looks at their lead guitarist "You?"

Taylor looks at Kaya like she's crazy. He can't believe her. They had just been discussing them and now she's all in Gunnar mode. Why does he let her do this to him, to Gunnar? He should tell Gunnar the truth. He is in love with Kaya. But what good would that do? It would only server to undermine the band. Damn her, why can't she make up her mind.

"Nah, I'm going to bounce. I'll see you two love birds tomorrow night at the Mercury" with that Taylor moves to the door.

"Taylor" Kaya calls to him

"It's fine Ky, you know whatever" he spats out in disgust.

"What was that?" Gunnar asks

"I don't want to talk about Taylor, I want to focus on you and me. I know I've been distant but that's going to change. I'm going to change. I can't let that Rachel girl get into my headspace so much."

"How long have we've know each other Kaya? Don't treat me like an idiot."

"I-I'm not. What do you mean?" Kaya asks knowing Gunnar knows the truth. She just can't bring herself to believe it.

"I know." He looks at his girl, trying to find the truth he knows is there. "I know you're in love with Taylor and he's in love with you."

"I'm –no-not. Gunnar. I" she can even deny it while looking into his eyes.

"Look Kaya, I've loved you since we were sixteen. I don't know any more if it's romantic or friendship love. All I do know is that you're not in love with me. We should do the adult thing and just let us go" Gunnar says in a matter of fact way.

Kaya starts to protest, but can't even find the fight for them. "I think you're right Gunnar. I never meant to hurt you, you know. I do love you Gunnar. I hope you know that. I've been looking at dorms at the BCM since I've been talking to... I can move into one tomorrow."
