           ❛— sort of? you’re still in charge of the glee club while schue’s gallivanting in washington, aren’t you? i know things got weird for a hot second, but, i dunno.❜ she pauses, shrugging as her eyes drop to inspect her cuticles. ❛when i came back, you seemed to really like doing it. thought you might’ve been a little more pumped about finding your niche.❜

           there’s a softness to her words that’s a little unusual, but not unwelcomed. ( maybe living with berry and hummel was making her totally lame. ) still, her lips turn up as the focus shifts. ❛anything’s better than lousiville, ❜she states easily. ❛that place was a hell hole full of dead dreams and a bunch of freakin’ nobodies. but here? ❜she nods.❛ i’ve finally found my people. i scored an awesome gig bartending at coyote ugly, and i make a stupid amount in tips from people who don’t know any better.❜

“no, no, i am,”           he cut in, quickly. and he was. for all the time he’d spent the year prior feeling so desperate and hopeless, thinking himself doomed to selling hot dogs outside madison square garden for a time and subsequently overwhelming himself trying to wrap his head around the responsibilities of one day owning burt’s tire shop, it was really awesome to feel like something was finally falling into place. but, of course, there was a caveat; he’d learned his lesson more than once by now about jumping into things head first. “i just know that teaching is a lot more complicated than that, y’know?” finn shrugged a shoulder, almost dismissively. “coaching glee club’s one thing, but being able to teach for real is ... a long way away.”

he had to admit,           he was sort of surprised to hear her speak so negatively about louisville. but then again, he guessed there had to be some reason for her to not only leave, but to give up that scholarship. and if santana was happy here, with her bartending job and this crowd of people she’d apparently so comfortably falling into, then that was really the only thing that mattered. “that’s cool,” finn answered, offering a warm little smile that was proof enough that he meant it. “i mean, if you’re happy and stuff, then i’d say you’re doing pretty good. more than a lot of people could say for themselves, probably.”

finn couldn’t think of any other time at which he felt more at ease than any time he was spending with betty.           even when they were in a group, her presence made him feel more relaxed and comfortable; even when drama within the glee club was at its most turbulent and most exhausting, a sideways glance to her either at his side or across the room had the same effect as taking five deep cleansing breaths. she was kind, she was fun, she was compassionate, and she was everything he thought he could possibly want in a friend           and as that had evolved into something more, finn could only see more virtues in her. he was a bit of a romantic, but even he could acknowledge that there was something sort of cheesy about saying he liked her more and more with each day. that, of course, didn’t make it any less true. but she could seem a little far away sometimes. finn couldn’t empathize with how moving away from ones hometown must have felt, but he could imagine some semblance of it and could assume that that was often what got her distracted. the frustrating thing about it was that there was nothing he could do for such a thing, except just try and provide her company that might lift her spirits even just a bit. he had a feeling that that was what was on her mind when she seemed to snap out of some trance. rather than be annoyed that she hadn’t caught any of what he’d said, finn just shook his head gently and cracked an affectionate, lopsided little smile. “nothing important,” he dismissed. “was just reminded of how me and my grandpa used to go for milkshakes, and stuff, after baseball when i was a kid,” he clarified, tapping the side of his tall, frosty glass before looking to her with a brightened smile. “these are better, though.”

ownworth   :

THERE  WERE  MILITARY  OFFICERS  THE  DAY  OHIO  MET  ITS  END.                    In  they  marched,    guns  akimbo,    a  flurry  of  khaki - coloured  uniforms  among  the  DISCONCERTED  crowd  of  the  living.    She  didn’t  know  whether  they  made  it    better    or  worse,    or  if  more  people  would  have  died  if  they’d  simply  been    left  to  it.    Everything  was    CHAOTIC  ;  nothing  was  set  in  stone.    People  fled  their  homes,    the  streets  became  rife  with  looters  and  bandits.    She  doesn’t  need  to  remind  him  of  that.    The  entire  state  was  there,    whether  they    s u r v i v e d    or  not.

                    ❛❛    Is  it  because  of    your  dad  ?   ❜❜          Hands  fondle  a  box  of  old  cigarettes  ;  she  flips  the  lid,    snaps  it  shut  again,    repeat.    They’ve  been  sitting  in  her  pocket  for  days    ————    a  remnant  habit  from  her  time  with  the  Skanks.    She’d  agreed  to  kick  the  habit  when  she  rejoined  the  New  Directions,    but  she  doesn’t  see  the  POINT  now.    Fingers  push  the  lid  open  once  more,    neatly  sliding  one  out  from  its  casing  and  pressing  it  between  her  lips.    She  lights  the  end,    takes  a  DRAG,    s i g h s.           ❛❛    There  are    worse    jobs,    I  suppose.    Imagine  working  in  the  supermarket  when  all  the    CRAZIES    came  to  take  their  share..   ❜❜

he only gave a nod in response to her question,           eyes lowered, watching his fingers pick at callouses on the opposite palm           a habit he’d picked up as of late, when he was feeling especially fidgety or when his mind was particularly far off or when he was upset about something he felt he couldn’t actually talk about. maybe some combination. finn couldn’t really explain it, as was the case with most things these days ( and with more things than had been normal for him before ), but he seemed to have developed quite a few of these physical idiosyncrasies, something oddly but ultimately futilely therapeutic about them. this time, it was mostly prompted by the juxtaposition of what he knew of his father to the memories he has now of the officers that had come to ohio, the ones who’d so frighteningly seemed to be harbingers of the apocalypse. the ultimate truth to that only made it churn his stomach even more.

“yeah, right,”           finn answered, quietly, short chuckle absolutely mirthless and his tone as flat and faraway as his gaze. he didn’t know what he’d been expecting when he brought this up           though it was perhaps more accurate to say that it hadn’t been brought up with much thought at all. it was more something he needed to just get off his chest. perhaps he thought that doing so in front of quinn would allow him to do it before an audience that could receive it casually. there was no use getting up in arms about it now, anyways, and what was once a big secret and the only aspiration he’d ever had for his future that felt remotely attainable now felt worth nothing more than an off-hand remark. “it’s weird, thinking about how scary they all were. y’know? and, like ... if that were me...” he paused, swallowing. “or him...” finn stopped himself again, more consciously this time, and gave a shake of his head, a clearing of his throat, and a more direct gaze, speaking curtly and with clear effort to curb whatever emotions he’d been stirring up, to try and invalidate whatever he’d just started saying. “sorry.”

“ why  would  you  be  embarrassed  about  a  doctors  appointment ? ”  she   questions  the  jock,  brow  raising  in  curiosity  and  wonder.  glee club,  she  had  never  thought  about  joining  it  before,  singing  was  never  her  forte.  “  glee  club ?  i –  i  don’t  know,  i  don’t  think  i’d  be  a  good  fit. ”

“not important,”           finn mumbled with a shake of his head after a beat. it had been mostly just an excuse, anyways, and obviously a pretty lame one at that. “but           you would totally be a good fit,” he answered, much more emphatically and enthusiastically in contrast to his previous dismissiveness. “i mean, the only reason you wouldn’t be is if you couldn’t sing at all, which is obviously not true. and honestly, the team could kinda use someone as nice as you to even things out in there.”

shoreabove   :

            her eyes narrow as she stares at finn, unable to make out what would cause him to drop by like this. ( last she heard, he and rachel left things a little… uneasy. despite being here for kurt – which was another thing altogether – she can’t imagine it’s easy to tip toe around the loft in case she bursts in with her new boy toy. )

            either way, she simply shrugs.❛ good, ❜ she states. ❛there’s literally no more room. considering you can’t even fit on hummel’s weird, misshapen couch, you’re better off cozying up in your childhood bedroom. ❜ ( it’s not a direct insult, but it’s a moment to reflect on the fact that she’s made it out. ) ❛still teaching, then? ❜ she adds, allowing a minute of peace. 

“uh, sort of, i guess,”           finn answered with a shrug. he wasn’t sure what he was doing really counted as teaching; he didn’t have an actual class, nor a salary, and the team still all called him ‘finn.’ even though it probably would have been weird to hear people he’d shared classrooms with not even a year ago call him something like ‘mr. hudson,’ he still didn’t think any of that were indicators that what he was doing was actually teaching.

though not always the most perceptive,           finn certainly caught the undertones           and, thus, the sting          of her comment. it made him blink, gave him a nanosecond’s worth of pause, a moment to swallow both the difficult emotions and any snarky responses he might have impulsively offered in return. but the sting passed, and he knew he should just be happy for santana rather than continue to be sorry for himself. “how’s the city been for you so far? better than louisville?”

“definitely not,”           finn replied immediately, unable to help laughing a bit, even though he knew santana was only joking when she’d asked if he was planning on squeezing himself into the loft, too. he’d joined his mom and burt for a weekend visit out to see his brother, but he still wanted to make a point to catch up with santana for a bit ( even though he knew she’d probably be averse to anything lasting longer than fifteen minutes, or so ). he was out taking them for a little walking tour, anyways, and finn had seen that stuff before. “no, don’t worry. it’s a quick visit for me, i’ll be outta your hair just as quick as i got into it.”

           there’s admiration in her eyes as she watches him navigate his way through her own personal struggles. ❛all kittens were returned safely to shelters, or given to family friends,❜ she assures, giving him a slight nod.❛ it was just an example, anyways – i can be slightly over critical of my own choices, is all. so i wanted to make sure that you knew ahead of time, i guess. ❜a beat, a little embarrassed. ❛in case you were disappointed.❜

“i’m not going to be disappointed,”           finn assured her with utmost sincerity, a little smile on his face and some amusement in his tone at such a perceivably silly notion that he could have been disappointed in whatever she had gotten him. his eyes were serious, though, made heavier by the weight of his earnest honesty. “it’s the thought that counts, anyways,” he added, more brightly and with a casual half-shrug of his shoulders. “giving is the whole point of the holidays. a big one, at least. and anyone who’s receiving is just lucky to be receiving anything at all.”

his head dipped forward with a light chuckle,           settling in beside her           he too had lost count at this point. “nah, just the real deals.” finn glanced her way with a little smirk, shrugging one shoulder. “the numbers work more in our favor,” he joked. it wasn’t that finn was in any kind of rush to get married, or anything, but it was sort of weird to watch people he’d known as kids start taking this big step, making big commitments           in some cases, like artie’s and tina’s, they were making these big commitments to one another. it was sort of wild. “i think it’s probably a little bit of both,” finn mused, after a short little laugh at the question. “and my wallet would be super thankful if both of those things slowed down a little. it is cool to get to see everyone all under one roof, though. or           mostly everyone, i guess, depending.”

“ HOW  MANY  WEDDINGS  IS  THIS  NOW? ”  quinn  pondered  as  her  and  finn  slid  into  one  of  the  rows.  it  had  to  be  almost  double  figures  by  now,  she  was  sure  of  it.  “ and  are  we  counting  almost  weddings? ”  quinn  let  out  a  breath  through  her  lips.  this  time  it  was  artie  and  tina’s  turn.  she  had  a  lot  of  faith  in  those  two  though.  she  doubted  that  tina  would  leave  artie  sitting  at  the  alter  but  who  really  knew?  it  seemed  anything  could  happen  and  they  had  all  been  witness  to  some  of  the  wedding  disasters  and  surprises  over  the  years.  “ i  seriously  think  i’ve  spent  more  money  on  wedding  outfits  than  anything  else   …   i  can’t  help  but  feel  like  i’m  behind  in  my  life  every time  i  come  to  one  of  these  things.  are  our  friends  getting  married  young  or  are  the  years  passing  us  by  quicker  than  we’d  like  them  to? ”   @frnknteen​
