Good Friends, Good Food, Great Calls || Finntana & Tike

Tagging: Mike Chang, Tina Chang, Finn Hudson and Santana Lopez Location: Lima, Ohio. Hospital and Breatix's Time: Sunday Evening. Notes: The group goes out to dinner and Mike gets some good news about his father.

Finn swallowed thickly as he took Santana's hand in his and walked next to Tina. It was hard to be in a hospital and see all the action and fast pace nurses rushing around, so he can't even imagine how Mike felt after practically living here the past couple of days with his dad. It was hard to hear how badly he was doing and all he wanted to do there was be there for his brother. There wasn't much that any of them could really do physically, but the drive out here and being there for Mike was definitely needed in this hard time. He sent a text to mike to let him know they were here as they stood by a nurses station who said they had to wait to be escorted back. "I already booked us a hotel room for later tonight so we don't have to worry about leaving early or driving home tonight." He told the girls lowly.

Santana gripped onto Finn's hand tighter as they walked into the hospital. She was still a little hungover from last night and then long ass car ride they just made didn't make her headache any better but she knew she had to put on a brave face for her friend and be the strength he needed right now. The hospital was crazy and there was like people running all over the place and she grabbed Tina's arm to pull her closer as one of the nurses pushed past them. All three of them walked up to the nurses' station and gave them Mike's last name and waited. "Okay. Thanks, babe." She let out a little sigh and leaned her head against Finn's arm. "I hope he's doing okay. This sucks."

Tina walked closely by Finn and Santana. They has only been here for a a couple of minutes and she was already feeling uneasy about being here and she could not imagine how Mike must have been coping the first few days here. She swallowed a lump in her throat. They were here for Mike this was all they could do, even though she wished there was something more that could be done. She stood by the nurses station and licked her lips,"Thanks Finn," she looked at the boy than Santana,"I hope Mike is okay," she mumbled lightly.

mike looked up when he heard one of the nurses come to him, "I think you have some company, would you like for me to bring them over?" asked the young looking nurse."Um, No..I'll go greet them..Thanks though." he said softly, biting his bottom lip before waving off the nurse. Mike walked over to his mom and kissed her head, not wanting to wake her up from her nap, since this was the first time that he had seen her asleep since this all had happened and then headed down the hallway towards the nurses station.When Mike saw his friends a big grin spreaded across his face, "Hey guys.." he said softly, walking over them, giving them each a hug."Thanks for coming.."

Finn let out a long breath "Yeah, me too." He said feeling pretty down as he pressed a kiss to the top of Santana's head and waited for Mike to arrive. As soon as he stepped out, he did his best to return his smile and hugged him back. "Of course, wouldn't want to be anywhere else." The taller boy said with a nod. "How uh, how you holding up?" He asked wanting to know what was going on without coming right out and asking

Santana turned around and smiled wide when she saw Mike walking down the hall. She let him hug Finn first before she wrapped her arms around him, "Hey, you." She hugged him long and hard before pulling away and letting him hug Tina. She linked her arm around Finn's and leaned her head back on his arm. "How's your mom?" She asked after he answered Finn's question.

Tina eased up a little now actually seeing Mike, she pulled a brave smile on his face. When he hugged her Tina hugged him tightly after he hugged the others. She tilted her head to the side looking at Mike,"No need to thank us Mike, we are always here for you," which was the honest truth.

mike kept an arm around Tina as he spoke, finding it nice to have someone familiar beside him, someone who wasn't so heavily involved with the drama going on."She's alright..I mean she's not great..But she's holding in there..keeping hope.." he said softly,trying his hardest not to think about what was going on, because to be honest it was easier for him to ignore it."So are you guys hungry?"

Finn held Santana close as he listened to Mike, nodding his head as he breathed out lowly. "We're all keeping hope too, man. A bunch of people are sending you and your family all nice wishes and you're int heir thoughts." He told him as a few reached out to him today to let Mike know they were thinking about him. "Yeah, I'm always hungry." He said with a chuckle and patting his stomach with his other hand

Santana rested her hand on Finn's stomach and laughed, "We're starving. That ride here was hell." She said with a little chuckle trying to lighten the mood. She knew this was probably really hard for him and the fact that he was actually holding himself together and not falling apart was making her happy and even if he let a few of his walls break down, she knew there would be people there to help him back up. "But this is your cow-town, Mikey, you choose where we go."

Tina smiled up at Mike who seemed to be holding it together, pretty well at that. Her stomach rumbled a little guess that is what happens on a long car journey and not eating dinner the other night, She laughed a little tucking some hair behind her ear,"I could defiantly do with something to eat too," she nodded in agreement to Santana pocking Mike a little,"I am in agreement with Tana it is your pick."

mike chuckled at the three of them, they definitely knew how to make him smile without even trying which is what he needed at the moment."Well, down the street there is a restaurant called 'breadstix' it's really good.." he smirked, poking Tina in the side playfully as he waited for their vote, "If you don't want to go there then there is a few fast food places all around town" he added, scratching the back of his head.

Finn nodded his head with the girls words, it was a long drive and there wasn't that many places to stop along the way to get some real food. "Works for me, if you like it, I'm sure I will." He said watching the two together and turning to Santana slightly and smiling at her before shaking his head back to Mike. "We should probably sit down and eat, you deserve a good meal."

Santana scoffed, "Hell if the place is called Breadstix, I know I'm gonna like it." She told him with a wave of her hand. She looked behind him and raised an eyebrow, "Uh, where's Quinn?" She asked suspiciously as she eyed the two people in front of her. She shared a look with Finn before turning back to Mike.

Tina kept her hand on her stomach hoping that it wouldn't rumble too loud. She nodded her head vigorously in agreement,"Breadstix sounds good to me. Even just having breadsticks right now is good to me," she tried to keep the conversation light an playful since it must haven a heavy few days for him. The one thing she could do was try and be a little cheerful.

mike nodded at the three "Sounds good, Umm we can either walk or drive, which ever one ya'll want to do" he smiled gently, shrugging at Santana's question."I told her to go get some rest and take a shower and eat and stuff."

Finn tilted his head "Why don't we walk, you said it's right down the street and I'm sure some fresh air will do us good after being in a car all day and you in here." He suggested as he was happy to know that they all would get time with their friend without his girlfriend around. He kept Santana close as he searched for the exit.

Santana rolled her eyes as Mike spoke about Quinn but didn't say anything. "Walking sounds good." She held onto Finn tightly as they walked out of the hospital side by side and followed Mike toward the restaurant. Santana looked around and saw people like, staring at them and she shot them a few glares as they walked. "Mike, seriously, what's up with this place? Are you not allowed to like, be a visitor or something?"

Tina was glad that they were walking it. Finn did have a point the fresh air would do them good especially being in hat stuff car for hours, it was nice to be able to stretch out her legs. She walked closely by them looking around at the people staring at them as Santana had a point,"Yeah why do they keep looking at us like we are animals or something?" She raised an eyebrow.

mike shrugged as they walked down the hallway, "Well most people in this town are older and they think that young people are nothing but trouble...You get used to it eventually.." he reassured them, smiling sweetly."So, how was ya'll valentine's day? Had a good time?" he asked, trying to make conversation, especially since he knew Santana didn't want to talk about Quinn.

Finn cleared his throat a little "I think uh, I might be the tallest person they have ever seen. Or at least they looked at me like it." He said with his eyes a little raised seeing how a few people kept staring at him. He held the door open for everyone and got a slight chill at the coldness "It was really nice, yeah." He told his friend, not wanting to get too much into it and make him feel bad since that was his birthday and a holiday he had to miss

Santana shook her head at all the starers and walked into the restaurant with the rest of them. She signaled to the waitress how many people and smiled at Mike. "It was great. Happy Belated Birthday by the way." She bumped his hip a little before they were seat. She and Finn sat on one side of the booth while Mike and Tina sat on the other side. "What's good here?" She ticked up an eyebrow at Mike.

Tina sighed about the comment on the old people,"That is at as expected." She followed into breadstix taking a seat next to Mike across from the happy couple. She looked at Mike as he questioned Valentines day," yeah it was good," she grabbed one of the menus looking over at it. "Oh and happy belated birthday- I got your present ready and waiting at home for you," she smiled lightly. It didn't feel right bringing it to Lima and it must of been the last hung that was on Mikes mind right now.

mike "Well, I usually get a bunch of breadstixs and then any of the pasta dishes are great." he said, nodding, happy that his friends had a great valentine's day."Thanks guys..and you didn't have to get me anything, Tina!" he shook his head, bumping her playfully."So, what's this I hear about you having a boy toy now?" he asked, turning his attention to Tina.

Finn said happy birthday to him well as he started to graze over the menu. "A boy toy?" He chirped up as he decided what he wanted and sat back, sliding his hand over the back of Santana in the booth and ordering a soda when the waiter came over to ask. "What are you getting?" He asked lowly to Santana as he was debating his food choices in his head like always

Santana sucked in her lips and tried to stop the laugh that wanted to burst out, "Yeah Teeny, tell us about your 'boy toy'" She made fake air quotes and bowed her head down as she chuckled a little. She ordered an iced tea when the waiter came before hiding her face in Finn's shoulder, laughing quietly. She heard him whisper to her and she turned her head up to look at him. "Chicken Alfredo probably." She said with a shrug.

Tina hid her face behind the menu as she burned bright red as Mike questioned her about her so called 'boy toy'. She hit him on the arm lightly enough to hurt him but not so drastically. "Don't say boy toy! You make me feel like I am a cougar or someone who gets around a lot," she sighed a little,"What is there to say?" She turned to Mike," It is is cute guys named Cole. He is sweet. He cooked me dinner and was quite the charmer. And that is all you need to know."

mike scoffed when she whacked him on the arm, "You know I adore you, Dimples." he chuckled, biting his bottom lip as she spoke about Cole, "Sounds like a cool guy.." he said feeling twig of something in his stomach."Quite the charmer, huh?" he asked, looking over the menu.

Finn could see a little something in Mike when they talked about another guy with Tina that didn't sit right with him. The two seemed really comfortable around each other and it was nice to see his buddy with a smile on his face and himself around Tina. "What did he make you?" He questioned seeing what the guy really did before nodding at Santana. "Don't gotta worry about me stealing any of it." He joked before kissing her cheek

Santana looked between the two people in front of her and narrowed her eyes. The gears in her head were turning and she got a little smirk on her face. "Tina." She called, "Does this mean you're /dating/ him now?" She asked, her smile only widening at how Mike was reacting. She put her hand on Finn's thigh when he kissed her cheek and rolled her eyes, "I feel like you're the only person in the entire world who doesn't like Alfredo, Finny."

Tina smiled,"Of course you adorable me," then looked around as it seemed to be twenty one question about her and Cole. Something seemed off about Mike as she spoke about Cole so she decided to keep her answers sort and sweet,"He made pasta and chocolate cheesecake. He actually called his grandma for the recipe." Tina licked her lips a little looking at Santana,"Um...I guess you can say we are." She looked back down at the menu.

mike raised an eyebrow at her final answer, biting his bottom lip, "Cute." was all he said before finally deciding on what he wanted."So what do you want to get, guys?"

Finn furrowed his eyebrows a little and shook his head. He could tell that Mike wasn't really digging Tina with another guy, so he wasn't going to ask more about it and make it awkward or anything. "Alfredo just taste weird." He said with Santana with a laugh. "I think I'm gonna go with Penne with Vodka Sauce and chicken, how about you?"

Santana definitely didn't miss the change in Mike's attitude when Cole was brought up and she saved that one for later. Right now it was just about good thoughts and praying for Papa Chang. "You're weird." She fired back at Finn, scrunching her nose up at Finn. She leaned forward and grabbed one of the breadsticks and took a bite. "Chicken Alfredo all the way." She said, chewing happily.

Tina opened her mouth to ask if something was wrong but then closed it not wanting to know. She looked over at the menu closing it and crossing her legs under the table," I think I am gonna get the spaghetti vongla," she said in her best Italian accent.

mike smirked "You guys are like an old married couple." he laughed, throwing a piece of a breadstix at the couple across the table."And you my dimpled friend are a dork" chuckled."I think I'm gonna get mushroom ravioli." he said, looking around for the waiter.

Finn chuckled as he moved to try and dodge the breadstick and picked it up out of Santana's lap to eat it. "Don't call us old. We definitely do things that old people can't." He joked pointing his breadstick towards him smugly. "Sounds good." The boy let out even though he wasn't a fan of ravioli, mushrooms were always good.

Santana gasped when Mike through a breadstick at them and felt her jaw dropping. "You suck. We are not all old and boring." She turned to Finn and put both hands on his cheeks and kissed him long and hard before pulling away with a satisfied smirk and turned to Mike, "Old my ass." She winked at him and their waitress came up and they all ordered what they wanted and she thanked the woman before turning back to Mike, "So, did your mom tell you how all of this even happened?" She questioned lightly.

Tina laughed at the two of them,"you are aware Finn that is the type of thing old people say," deciding to side with Mike because two against was fair.she rolled hey eyes lightly as the two of them kissed. But then looked at Mike to answer Tana's question as she was curious.

mike grinned at Tina's answer, "Finally! Someone with a brain sides with me!! Asian power!" he exclaimed, giving Tina a quick side hug while sticking his tongue out at the loving couple."Well, she said that they were at a family function and he started to have a bit of chest pain..so she took him home instead of to the hospital..so she's kicking herself for not taking him to the doctor sooner...blaiming herself for the whole thing.." he sighed, as he took a bit of one of the breadstix.

Finn kissed Santana back with a smirk on his lips and settled his hands on her sides as he did so. He only pulled away when she did and laughed. "Don't call us old ever." He teased throwing a piece of breadsticks at the two of them and hoping the waiter didn't see that as he passed. He stayed quiet then as Mike started to talk. "She shouldn't blame herself, I know it's hard not to, but its not her fault."

Santana turned back to the table and leaned against Finn a little more. "Absolutely not her fault. This is just God's fucked up game of chess that he uses us as his pieces. Your dad's gonna be okay, Mike. I know it." She gave him a wide smile and tried to show her full support. Honestly she didn't know what was gonna happen but all they could do was keep their faith.

Tina wrapped an arm around Mike giving him a quick squeeze for a comfort and looked at him,"Your mum really shouldn't beat herself up...things like this happen sometimes. But it will always look up in the end. It always does," she said softly looking down at the table for a moment.

mike poke Tina's shoulder to make her stop looking down at the table because there was no reason for her to be upset about it, "Hey, she'll be alright..I know she will..She'll be alright she's just really stressed and stuff right now.." he said softly, as if he were trying to convince himself as well.

Tina left the chat 3 hours ago

Finn nodded his head and wrapped his arm around Santana. "Maybe you can order some stuff to bring back to her, I'm sure she hasn't had a chance to have a good meal the past couple days." He suggested as it was hard for him to know what to say with some of this stuff, just silently hope for the best.

Santana put her hand on Finn's thigh again and gave him a little squeeze of comfort and smiled up at him. She knew that this wasn't easy for him, just a few months ago he was by her side while she went through the grief of her Abuela dying and it was just really hard on all of them. "I'm sad now. Let's change the subject. Spring Break. Are you guys going on the trip?"

Tina looked up a little licking her lips. She was making sadder than it needed to be. Tina tucked her hair behind her ears actually looking up a little, snapping a breadstick in half shrugging a little to Santana's question,"I dunno just yet. I am still thinking about it and get the money for it. What about you guys?"

mike nodded his head, agreeing with Santana, "I don't know either..I mean it sounds fun, but like Ti said I don't know about the money part.." he shrugged before grabbing two breadstix and playing the drums on the table with them.

Finn looked down at Santana and returned her smile. The topic of Spring break was exciting, but money is a big issue for most students. "Why don't we do something on greek row to raise some money for people to go. You know, a bake sale since Tina is awesome at it and us guys can do...I don't know, something to raise money to split with everyone that is trying to figure that part out." He suggested with a half smile and shrug of his shoulders

Santana kinda frowned when her friends said that they didn't know if they were going. She and Finn were planning on going and it would totally suck if they couldn't go too. Finn's idea made a smile pop up on her face and ideas were already flying into her head. "Yeah, we can totally make this a whole Greek Row thing. I mean, like, everyone needs to go on this trip. It's gonna be legendary."

Tina had to admit those ideas never came to mind,"You know that doesn't sound like half a bad idea. Spending spring break with you guys would be way much better than going home." The gears in her mind starters working as she thought of a few ideas,"A bake sale sounds good and we could go old school with maybe car wash when it's warmer. Even a fashion show or something? I like this idea!"

mike "I mean I guess I could like teach some dance classes..Shirtless for some of the girls.." he chuckled, secretly mocking the time when Quinn got upset at him for dancing shirtless in dance class."But yeah count me in guess."

Finn laughed at Mike an nodded his head. "The fashion show would be awesome, Mike can teach people how to dance and do skits during it too. Then the bake sale, car wash, shoveling some snow. We'll have all that money in no time for everyone to split and go on this trip!" He said excitedly with his hand running up and down Santana's arm

Santana felt herself getting excited. "Holy crap, Teeny you could totally like design all the outfits and all the girls from the different sororities could model, the pretty girls of course, and like we could do this whole block thing! It's gonna be awesome." She smiled up at Finn before turning back to her friends. Their waitress came and dropped off all their food. Everything looked delicious and they all dug in like, immediately. They were starving after all.

Tina could notables but smile laughing a little,"That was kind of had ideal. It would be fun doing a mass fashion project and such. I am already thinking of ideas some for guys too," she smiled looking at her food and her stomach seemed to rejoice as she started to eat,"okay this is good Pasta!"

mike raised an eyebrow, "Well you're incredibly talented so I have no doubt that whatever you come up with will be amazing." he said before taking a bite of his ravioli."See, I told you guys this place was great.." said, taking a sip of his drink, smiling at his friends finally feeling relaxed for the first time in several days.

Finn had no idea what really went into making stuff for the fashion, but Tina and Santana seemed to which was great. "Make sure you make mine a large" He chuckled out before starting to eat his food and added some cheese to the top of his pasta. "It is pretty great. For a place called breadsticks, i was afraid that was their best item." The boy said jokingly as he smiled over to Santana

Santana scooped up some noodles onto her fork and put it in her mouth, chewing happily. She looked up at Finn and let out a chuckle. "You're a dork. But the food is the bomb so could choice, Chang." She said with a smile and went about eating some more.

Tina ate her food much quicker than expected but hey the girl was hungry she couldn't help it a bit,"I think this is the only thing that I am liking in Lima," she confessed twisting the spaghetti onto her fork.

mike "Hey now! Respect the town I came from Cohen-Chang" he teased, before using his fork to take a bite of her food."Eh, not as good mine, but it's alright." he shrugged."Lima is pretty small, and a farm town but it's home and I love it."

Finn turned his face down to Santana over his arm and raised his eyebrows up and down as it seemed like Tina and Mike were really hitting it off. He leaned in to kiss her and scrunched up his face. "You know it's love when I kiss you with alfredo sauce on your lips and I hate it." He chuckled out before turning back towards his plate. "Tina, whats your hometown like?"

Santana looked up to Finn and smiled, nodding slightly to the two in front of them. Okay so seriously, they were about as subtle as a freaking rollercoaster. But, she'll let them play. She leaned up and kissed him back, chuckling at his words as she pulled away. "You love me." She wiped off some sauce from his lip and turned back to her food.

Tina glanced at Finn as he asked her about her hometown. In all honesty she hated it there cause of her family always breathing down there neck but she just shrugged,"It is lively at times, quite at others. Some people are nosy and just don't mind there own business. It is nothing special."

mike "Sounds like a lot of other towns out there..But it has to have something you like? Any food places that you enjoy? Any thing?" he asked, before taking another bite of his food, glancing over at Finn and Santana for a brief moment.

Finn listened to Tina and nodded his head side to side. "Can see a lot of hometowns like that. Mine's big enough to have a lot of stuff going on in it, but small enough that a lot of people know each other." He shared as his thumb brushed against the inside of Santana's thigh. "Yes I do."

Santana ate her food quietly, just watching as her friends talked. Okay, she's a smart girl, she definitely did not miss the way Tina and Mike were like, constantly touching, or like, sharing food, it was cute honestly. She liked it. She leaned up and whispered into Finn's ear. "I feel like we're intruding." She gave a little chuckled and hid her face in his neck.

Tina played with her food a little thinking about her hometown. "There kinda is this one place," she looked at Mike as Santana and Finn seemed couple,"This small cafe isolated from everyone, no one goes there. They have the best coffee and I spent most my time there either sketching or thinking....that is maybe the only thing I like back home."

mike smiled as he listened to the girl beside him speak, intrigued by her words, "So maybe you'd want to take me--Us there one day?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, taking a sip of his drink waiting for her answer."You guy would want to go right?" he asked, loving over at Finntana

Finn wiggled his eyebrows a little at Mike catching his slip up as he leaned down to kiss Santana's cheek and whispered "I know" into her ear with a smile. "Yeah, sounds nice." He said nodding his head as he brought his glass up to his lips with his free hand.

Santana turned back to her friends with a shocked look on her face, "Wait, you guys are talking to us?" She pointed between she and Finn. "Well, I'm sorry, I must've missed what you said. Repeat please." She said playfully, chuckling a little at the both of them.

Tina tossed a breadstick at Santana,"Sorry for being the ones who were not being couply and actually talking," she looked at the couple across,"I was telling Mike about this quite cafe backhome and he wants me to take him," then she added quickly,"and you two there sometime."

mike rolled his eyes at Santana, shaking his head at her "Yeah, it would be a lot of fun..Like a road trip.." he added, before feeling his cellphone vibrating.

Finn chuckled at his girlfriend and finished off his meal before rubbing her back softly. "How far do you live from Penn State, Tina?" He asked wondering how far this road trip would be

Santana dodged the breadstick Tina threw at her and stuck her tongue out at her friend before nodding. "Totally. We love roadtrips." She said happily but her smile faded a little when Mike pulled out his phone and answered it. She looked around the table and they all shared similar looks as they kinda just waited.

Tina thought for a moment,"I would say 4 hours 5 hours tops depending on traffic," she told Finn- which was still not far enough. But she looked at Mike as he picked up his phone biting her lip hoping everything was okay while swapping glances with the others.

mike "Mom..mom..Are you okay? What's going on?" he asked, a bit frantic in his words. After a few moments of listening his eyes started to well up with tears, "Are you serious? That's amazing mom!" he said, wiping the tears off his face, as they continued to fall."Okay..I love you too." he said softly, before resting his head in his hands."He's awake."

Finn chewed on the inside of his lip as his hand gripped a little at Santana's shirt, not knowing what to do or say while Mike talked. Seeing him with tears in his eyes was not something he was used to and didn't know what it could mean. His breath was caught in his throat before finally being able to let it out when Mike hung up. "That's great man. You should go see him, Santana and I will wait for the bill and you two head to the hospital." He said nodding at him and Tina

Santana almost jumped with freaking joy when Mike said his dad was awake and she out the breath she didn't know she was holding. She glanced at Finn before nodding to the two of them. "Yeah, go. You're dad is awake. Go tell him you love him or something!" She said happily, her smile wider than ever before.

Tina 's heart skipped a heart beat hearing the good news,she covered her mouth smiling,"Thank god." She nodded at the two of them as they said for the two of them to go, she took Mike's hand, "Come on let's go."

mike smiled, wiping the rest of his tears, before, getting up and taking Tina's hand out of excitement, "I'll text you two later? Let you know what's going on" he said softly."Thank you guys so much.."

Finn watched the two get up and nodded his head. "Yeah of course man, go see your dad." He said waving to the two as they left and keeping his smile as his arms were both now around Santana, drawing her in against himself and kissing her a few times over.

Santana nodded to Mike and watched them basically freaking skip off happily and she turned back to Finn with a smile on her face. "Papa Chang is okay and that means everything else is okay." She said, leaning up to kiss him. "God. Let's get the check and get the hell out of here."
