I´ll keep you at arms length (so that you can´t touch my heart).

Summary: She looks so dejected that had Rachel been some other girl, and had Kurt been some other guy, he might feel the need to hug her.

This was amazing. Kurt is so cute in it, and I love how you did the football thing leading into the Fall eps. It's nice to see him get some fic, finally.

And now my slight Grammar Nazi tendencies come out:

From the very first time Finn had come to rehearsal, and singed Grease...
Sing is one of those weird English words that switches the vowel when it goes into past tense, so it should be "sung". "Singed" means scorched.

A blonde, cheerleader, girlfriend who hates me.
You don't need the comma between cheerleader and girlfriend. With adjectives, you only add commas if you have more than one, and then it's just to separate one adjective from the other, never an adjective from a noun.

Because frankly, as if Rachel crush wasn’t obvious enough Finn had seem to take a likening of her too
You just forgot to put in the possessive for "Rachel's". And seem needs to become "seemed"

But it wasn’t the usual super-intense Rachel Berry speech Kurt and the rest of the glee club had grew accustumed to..."grew" should be "grown", once more a ( ... )

HAH, so awesome. If the nazi came out is because I know that you care. And I get most of the crits, like I´m all "damn, how the hell I put dear instead of deer. I mean,my a+ cambridge exam would be so ashamed" and the grease phrase, I don´t even tell you, I wrote that sentence every possible way, I wrote singed, sang, sunged, sanged, sung, and couldn´t decide, so I looked on-line and singed was the most used form, so I decided to leave at that, but you, the internet is not known for correct grammar. and I go crazy over commas, even in my native language I´m always like, comma-comma-comma, because when I write I always imagine someone saying, and having this dramatic, cliped tone, you know. and in the dialogues, some of the mistakes were on porpuse, cause I wanted to write like how people speak, to be more natural, you know. but certainly I gonna fix some of the possesives. thanks very much for the review and the grammar love

Haha, you're welcome for the grammar help. The internet really does drop the ball on grammar for any language. What might help is getting a Beta if you plan to write more, as they can do grammar checks for you before you post.

and, one more thing, the grew accustumed was actually a litlle reference to my fair lady, so I think I´ll leave grew, instead of grown.

Truly awesome. You made me laugh. I love Kurt's voice (totally in character) and I love the Finn/Rachel (so cute). Yes, definitely a wonderful fic.
