Kurt had just heard his Navigator pull out of the driveway when the door clicked shut behind him. He saw Noah sitting on the bed staring at his hands. Kurt tapped his toes against the bottom stair. He wanted to get this taken care of before Finn got back from dropping Mercedes off at home.
It seemed weird to him that he was anxious to get his heart broken but he really didn't see the point in drawing out the inevitable. Of course Noah was here to stomp all over his heart and tell him the BIG, GAY FREAK OUT was narrowly averted. Back to the regularly scheduled program of bullying and unrequited love.
“What are you doing here, Puck?”
Kurt saw the visible flinch as the blow landed and felt righteously indignant.
“She knows, Kurt. I sat her down and told her. But I guess she always knew. She's okay though.”
Kurt was momentarily stunned into silence and Noah took the opportunity to approach him, his hands stuck deep in his pockets.
“Wait, you came out?”
“Yeah. I wanted her to meet my boyfriend. She can't really do that if I didn't tell her that I put the capital B in bisexual.” Noah's voice is shy, the fear of rejection screams at Kurt and brings tears to his eyes.
“Are you sure about this? I mean what happened today isn't the last hateful thing that's ever going to happen in this town.”
“Kurt, I'm sure. I want you to meet my family. My mom even invited you to Temple this week. That's really major. She never did that for any of the girls I told her about. Even she can tell I'm serious about this. So will you come? I'll lend you one of my yarmulkes. It'll be awesome.”
“You really want me there? It's going to cause trouble.”
“When have I ever given a fuck about causing trouble?”
“It's gonna cause the kind of trouble that I don't think I worth.”
“Babe, you're like my sunshine. That's worth everything these ignorant fucks have to throw at us. Plus I'm Reform. They won't give a shit.”
Kurt just pulled his bottom lip between his teeth and shrugged. Fuck. What did he just get himself into?
**
Saturday morning saw Kurt standing in front of his vanity mirror, struggling to place the light blue, satin yarmulke. Despite his shaking fingers he had managed to pull it off pretty successfully.
He was running his hand down his lapel, one of his secret nervous gestures, when he heard the timid knock from the top of the stairs. Then he heard the slow creak of someone creeping down the stairs. That's when he set eyes on a disheveled Mercedes.
It had been almost a week since everything had turned upside down for her and she had disappeared from the face of the earth. Even Finn showing up on her doorstep and serenading her bedroom window wasn't enough to pull her out of hiding.
She refused to take anyone's calls and every day that passed Kurt could see Finn's heart breaking a little bit more. She sent Kurt an apologetic look and moved past him to sit on the bed Finn was sleeping in. He gave her a small wave before blowing her a kiss and heading up the stairs.
Finn seemed to know the minute Mercedes walked in the room. Stirring restlessly, he sat straight up, eyes searching the room frantically.
“Mercy? Is that really you?” Sleep groggy and confused looked good on Finn.
“Hey baby. I'm sorry I flipped. I was just so scared. I couldn't live with myself if something else happened to you because of me.”
“You think this is your fault?” Finn's face scrunched up in anger.
“It never wouldn't have happened if you stayed with Quinn or Rachel.”
“This is hate. This has nothing to do with us. Me and you, that's love. You let this take you away from me and they win.”
Mercedes gingerly placed her hand on his cheek and her eyes softened.
“How'd you get so smart?”
“Me and Burt had a talk. He says him and Kurt's mom had the same problem when they were living in Delphos.”
Her roving fingers probed a sensitive bruise and Finn pulled back with a hiss.
“Sorry, baby.”
“Don't worry. It's not as bad as it looks. Kurt gave me this weird smelling cream and he says it's healing really fast.”
“Damn, Finn. How can you still want this?” Her voice dropped and her eyes filled with tears. “How can you still want me?
Finn grabbed her hand and pulled her down until her hair pooled on his chest.
“You're my forever, Mercy. I'll always want you.”
Curled up next to him, his heart thumping wildly under her ear, she let herself believe. She placed a kiss over his heart and whispered I love you into his neck.

Kurt was running his sweaty hands over his lapel when he spotted the Puckerman Family across the parking lot. Noah was pulling at his tie and the woman Kurt assumed was Noah's mother was helping a preteen girl straighten the hemline of her dress. Noah's eyes shot up and met Kurt's. He gave him a nervous wave and made his way towards the family. Kurt managed to sneak in one more lapel wipe before Noah's nervous voice made the woman's head pop up.
“Ma, this is the guy I wanted you to meet.”
“This is my mom. Norah Puckerman.”
Kurt extended a shaking hand and was surprised by the firm handshake that followed.
“Shalom, Mrs Puckerman. Hashem sheli Kurt. Nayim mayod.”
Norah gave Kurt a surprised smile. “ Nayim mayod, Kurt.”
Norah was pulled towards the door by Noah's little sister and the boys followed quickly behind her. Noah bumped his shoulder against Kurt's while they walked.
“Someone had a fun night with Google. Good work, babe. I think you passed.”
Kurt just gave him a shy smile and followed them inside.
Temple Beth Israel-Shaare Zedek was just as beautiful as Kurt thought it would be and he spent the entire service fighting back tears. Noah's arm draped around his shoulder made a warm feeling settle in his chest and he was happy to see that no one was looking at them like they were about to bring the building down on everyone's head.
Afterwords, they all stayed behind to speak to the Rabbi. Norah hooked her arm through Kurt's and pulled him right to the front of the line.
“Rabbi Adler, this is Kurt Hummel. The boy I told you about.”
“Kurt, Norah's told me all about you. You're quite the talk around here.”
“Boker Tov, Rabbi.” Kurt glances around like he's trying to figure something out. Something inside him says that this is the right moment to tell the truth and let Noah in completely, for the first time. For there really to be no secrets between them. He takes a deep breath in and goes for it.
“Hannah Rossman sends her regards.” Kurt notices all four faces pull back in confusion. The Rabbi seems to recover first.
“Yes, Mrs Rossman. She's a great friend. How do you know her?”
Kurt sends a sideways glance to Noah. “She's my bubbe. I'm Jewish.”
Norah raises her arms to the sky before grabbing Kurt's chin between her hands and kissing his cheeks. While she's peppering his face with frantic, happy kisses Noah stands beside him. Shocked and confused.
Secondary AN: All will be explained next chapter. I took Kurt in a different direction and I hope that's okay.
