Three Times The Hummel Verse

Will You Be My Valentine?

"So boys, what are you doing for Valentine's Day?" Burt found himself asking his four sons one cold February day. The Hummel-Hudson family was all gathered around the dining table eating dinner. During a rather long silence with no one saying anything, Burt realized that he had no idea what was going on in his boy's lives at the moment.

Kurt was the first to speak. "Well, Blaine can't go to Sugar's party because of his eye, so I was going to go straight to his house after school and stay their until the party."

Carol cooed from her spot across the table. "How romantic!" Kurt blushed deeply.

"I on the other hand, being single and all, am having a slumber party at Mercedes' place. We are going to pig out on chocolate and other junk we probably shouldn't be eating." Chris added from his spot between Kurt and Carson.

"Sounds just as fun." Burt stated, earning himself a smile from his oldest child. He turned to Carson expectantly, waiting for an answer. Carson rolled his eyes at his father's eagerness.

"I don't know." He said bluntly.

Burt couldn't help but be surprised. "Really? You don't have anything planned?"

Carson shrugged. "Puck asked if we could hang out at his place, but I don't know. I'm definitely not going to Sugar's party. She hates me because I dumped her last month."

Burt was about to say something more when Carol interrupted him. "Sounds good to me. Honestly, I feel like Valentine's Day is too played out anyways."

Carson smiled at her before shoveling another spoon of soup into his mouth. Beside him, Finn was squirming in his seat.

"I don't want to spend Valentine's day with Rachel." When everyone's eyes widened in shock, Finn tried to explain himself. "She's so bossy! Our conversations are always one-sided, and quite frankly, I cant stand to be around her lately because all she can think and talk about is her plans for college."

Kurt nodded in agreement. "It's true. She hasn't stopped nagging me about how we HAVE to be roommates when we move to New York."

Finn nodded, happy someone else had noticed the same thing. "I think we should break-up."

Instantly, all the people sitting around the table began to protest. "Absolutely not!" Kurt shouted the loudest over everyone. "I will not have you ruin my Valentine's Day just because your tired of the girl who you've been on and off with for years. We all know you guys will get back together in a month or two, so spare us all the trouble. Don't turn your problems into our problems!"

"Amen." Carson said quietly as he sipped his soda. Finn sat quietly, with a rather dumb look plastered across his face.

"All right boys. That's enough tormenting Finn for one day." Burt decided to say before the other two got too far into their argument as well.

"God, it's no fair! It's three against one!" Finn exclaimed, resulting in a chorus of laughter to follow.

"Sucks to suck." Carson tried to say through his laughter. Finn continued to pout around the house the rest of the night.

Chris found himself waiting by Mercedes' locker the next day. It was Valentine's Day, and Chris found that it seemed everyone at school was in love. He didn't mind being single, but sometimes all he wanted was someone to cuddle with and be cute with.

"Hey boy." Mercedes said when she got to her locker. She had saw the dazed and dreamy look that had been upon Chris's face as he looked down the hall at all the couples. Mercedes knew that look well. It was a look that she had made many times over the years.
