Best friends brother (a Finchel fanfic)

Rachel's sophomore year; finn's senior year.

I don't own any of the characters. Or songs. Also, some of the lines/ plot is similar to ones on the show. Most are mine, but some are not.

•Sophomore year started out wonderful for Kurt and Rachel.

Rachel spent large amounts of time practicing for her audition for the school musical, West Side Story.

Finn even helped her (which included making out, which did improve her vocal range), even if it wasn't with the actual singing.

But as for Finn, Senior year wasn't going as smoothly as he wanted it to. He wasn't enjoying football anymore, and he had no clue what he wanted to do with his future. He liked helping Rachel sing, but he didn't know if it was too late to join the Glee club.

"Rachel! Guess what?" Kurt says, grinning after school one day.

"What?" She asks, laughing at how happy he was.

"Blaine is transferring to McKinley tomorrow!" He squeals.

"Kurt! That's great!" Rachel smiles.

"I know! I'm so happy," he smiles.

"Finn?" Rachel asked in the hallway.

"Hey, Rachel," Finn said, smiling at her.

"Will you help me with this duet during lunch? It's a Journey song," she said, raising her eyebrows.

"Okay," he said. He actually liked singing, and he secretly hoped Rachel would ask him to join their little glee club this year. Even though he was a senior, he heard that they were hoping to go to nationals this year. And they have only been in school for like a week. So it's not too late.

"Meet me in the auditorium," she says.

"Highway run

into the midnight sun

Wheels go round and round

You're on my mind," Finn sang, smiling at Rachel who was already smiling at him.

"Restless hearts sleep alone tonight

Sending all my love along the wire," Rachel sang after him.

"They say that the road ain't no place to start a family

Right down the line it's been you and me

And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be," they sing together, walking toward each other.

"Oh, boy, you stand by me," Rachel sang, looking into Finn's eyes, and walking past him as he passed her.

"I'm forever yours

Faithfully," Rachel and Finn sing together.

Mr. Schuester could hear the tune of Faithfully playing, but he couldn't hear who was singing. Maybe it was a new glee kid he could recruit! So he opened the doors silently, and he saw Rachel, but also a kid he had in his Spanish class his Sophomore year named Finn Hudson, singing together.

He slipped into the back room and decided to watch them until the song ended.

"Circus life under the big top world," Rachel sang.

"We all need the clowns to make us smile," Rachel sang, with Finn joining with her. They were both looking out into the empty audience.

"Through space and time
