brows sink , his features appearing thoughtful before his lips part and a sigh passes them. “ the MAIN thing on my mind after school is : what am I going to do ? do either stay in Lima, or go to college ? I dunno, I just don’t wanna take FOREVER sitting around, especially since i have no clue where i’m headed. “ his gaze flickered from the floor to blaine, his expression soft. “ hey – we’re friends, right ? you just helped me. you wouldn’t be bothering me, blaine. i’d like to listen if you needed someone to talk to. it’s not any TROUBLE to me. “
Blaine watched Finn as he opened up, teeth worrying against his bottom lip as he listened to Finn’s concerns. His heart went out to him. The unknown can be terrifying. He wished there was a way to reassure Finn he’d be fine. No. Better than fine. Finn had an amazing future waiting past McKinley. Even if it takes them a while to figure out what he wants that future to be. His faith in him was beyond those doubts and he’d do his best to make Finn see that.
“I promise. I’ll do whatever I can to help you figure it out. But, Finn, take your time. It’s only natural to change your mind a million times between now and whenever. Not everyone has things as planned out as Rachel or Kurt. They’re an exception to the rule. Not the rule itself,” he paused and rubbed the back of his neck trying to give as much honesty as Finn gave him without troubling him. “I guess it’s hitting me, too. That’s all. That come this time next year..Kurt’s going to be gone..and I’m going to be here.”
