Chapter 2:
"What the fuck ?" Puck yelled. Kurt jumped out of sleep, looking around. Puck was standing by the bed, glaring daggers at Kurt who didn't understand what was going on.
"Wh, what ?" Kurt asked, scared by the jock standing menacingly before him.
"What ? You kidding me ? Why the hell am I naked and why is there a fuckin' used condom here ?" He yelled at Kurt.
"You... you came here yesterday night and you-"
"I ain't a fag Hummel, that's what you are, what the fuck did you do to me ? I am so beating the fag out of you !" Puck shouted, raising his fist. Kurt was stuck on the bed, unable to run out of it without taking a chance of being beaten up by the very guy who had made love to him the night before. He tried to hide under the covers but, if they were able to save him from nightmares, they weren't able to save him from an enraged jock.
"I swear I didn't do anything. You came and I just... I just let you do what you wanted to do, you didn't even ask me." Kurt explained, tears going down his cheeks. He didn't see Puck's fist coming but he felt it hard on his cheekbone.
"I ain't a rapist either !" Puck shouted. Kurt was terrified now, he didn't think twice and ran out of the bed to rush into the bathroom, locking the door and collapsing against it in tears. There were heavy blows against the door, Puck was outraged now.
"Please stop !" Kurt begged.
"You fuckin' go out of here !" Puck yelled, kicking the door with all his might.
"Leave me alone !" Kurt implored once more.
"What the hell ?" Kurt heard Finn ask, and he blessed his brother for being here right now.
"Finn make him leave please." Kurt told his brother through the door.
"Kurt, did he hurt you ?" Finn asked, concerned.
"He hit me, please make him go." Kurt asked again still in tears. He heard a noise that sounded like a slap or something.
"The fuck dude ?" Puck yelled.
"You get out of here now !" Finn yelled back.
"No. I gotta talk to Kurt." Puck stated.
"There's nothing to talk about you leave my house now I never want to see you again !" Kurt shouted at him, feeling humiliated, dirty and used. He stood up when he heard the heavy steps on the stairs and put on his robe, opened the door and collapsed in Finn's arms.
"What happened ?" Finn asked softly.
"N... nothing, he just woke up very angry and took it out on me and hit me I don't know why."Kurt lied, not wanting to out Puck.
"I heard you two yell from the attic, I got so scared. I didn't even wonder where Puck was when I went to bed, I was too drunk."
"He came here to ask me about Blaine and fell asleep." Kurt made up. Finn nodded.
"I need to talk to him, will you be okay ?" Finn asked still concerned.
"Yes, don't worry about me." Kurt answered feeling completely traumatized. Finn patted him on the shoulder brotherly and left the room. At that moment Kurt's phone buzzed announcing a text. He grabbed it from his nightstand and saw a text from Puck.
U say a thing, ur dead.
Kurt shivered, but gathered the strength to reply.
Told him that you came to ask me about blaine and fell asleep. Never want to hear from you again.
He felt strong when the text was sent but his legs were still shaking. He had no idea what had happened, earlier that night, Puck had been really nice to him, offering him to kick Blaine's ass for ever hurting him. Then he had sneaked in Kurt's room and almost jumped on him to have sex with him in a way Kurt had never known. And Puck was hard even before Kurt could touch him, he wanted it, he was aroused at the idea of having sex with Kurt, it was not all Kurt's imagination.
He had to admit that Puck was the last person he would have though of as a closeted case but it appeared that he was a huge one. Maybe was it even unconscious, because clearly, sober Puck would never admit that such thing happened and that he was the one to make the first step. Kurt would even sympathize with Puck's struggle because he knew how hard it was, if it was not for the violence he had showed. Puck had never been so violent to Kurt before, and it scared Kurt because clearly, Puck was mad at him now and he knew how violent Puck could get.
In fact, Puck reminded him of doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde, except that he changed radically when he was drunk and the nice Puck was now the drunk one.
It was half past seven when Kurt realized that he had to go in class that day. He felt exhausted and ill at ease, but the worst part was that he would have to face Puck at school. He would have to go to glee club where they had a song to sing together, it paralyzed him in fear.
"Hey bro. You okay ?" Finn asked, going down the stairs.
"Yes, I'm not ready yet though, you should take your car and I'll take mine." Kurt said, trying to steady his voice.
"Okay, you let me know if you need something okay ?" Finn said. Kurt nodded, stood up and started getting ready.
"Hey homo, trying to look badass with your bruise on the cheek ?" Karofsky asked as he entered the school building.
"Shut up." Kurt said as he realized that he had forgotten to conceal the bruise.
"What did you just say ?" The jock asked.
"I said shut up, do you want me to say it again or what ?" Kurt snapped. "But if you want to know where it comes from ask your friend just here he'll be proud to tell you." Kurt said, pointing at Puck who was standing next to Karofsky, glaring at him. Karofsky and the other jocks high fived with Puck who didn't look amused in the slightest. Actually he looked like he was ready to kill someone, and in that case, the someone appeared to be Kurt. The boy just kept on walking into the school and soon enough he was sitting in class, safe. At least that's what he thought until Puck sat down on the seat beside him, looking angry. But he wouldn't lay a hand on him during class would he ?
"You're dead." Puck whispered to Kurt.
"I didn't say a thing, I promise." Kurt retorted, his voice quivering in fear. "Why don't we... why don't we forget about it and go ahead, not acknowledging the other's existence ?" Kurt asked, hopeful.
"You can't forget about it and I can't either." Puck answered, hatred in his voice.
"If you remember, you know that I'm not the one to blame." Kurt dared to say.
"You really want to suffer, don't you ?" Puck answered. Kurt swallowed hard, looking down.
"Hummel, Puckerman, would you please stop talking and tell me what I was talking about." The history teacher asked, startling both of them.
"I don't know, sir." Kurt answered.
"I figured that out. Well, obviously Puckerman's influence is not the best one, you get into fights, you don't listen in class." The teacher listed. Kurt lowered his eyes remorseful, secretly dreaming of crushing Puck's head in a pancake shape. "As for you Puckerman, no one questions your incredible sexual life but we don't want to see the details of your hickeys on your neck, hide that right now." The courageous half of the class laughed despite Puck's glare as he grabbed the collar of his T shirt and put it up. As soon as everyone's attention was back on the teacher, Puck shot Kurt the coldest glare Kurt had ever seen, but he didn't lower his gaze though, he looked straight back into Puck's eyes.
Kurt didn't get to see Puck anywhere else that day, until glee club. However, he couldn't avoid his best friend when she ran to him at ten.
"Kurt, oh my god, are you okay ? I spent the whole morning looking for you, I heard Puck hit you !" She said in one breath. Kurt sighed, now all the school knew about it, it would only make Puck angrier.
"I'm okay 'Cedes." Kurt answered.
"But what happened ? I thought you were getting along quite well." The black skinned girl said, looking a bit lost.
"We were." Kurt replied, thinking it was stupid the situation now when they got along so well just the day before.
"Then what happened ? Boo tell me so I'll go cut his head, no one hurts my boy without getting something in return." She stated.
"I'll tell you tonight." Kurt decided, someone pushed his back at that moment and turning around, he found Puck glaring at him.
"Ah hell to the no !" Mercedes shouted, walking up to the mohawked boy. "Noah Puckerman, I don't know what's your problem with my boy and he won't tell me, but just so you know, you touch him again, you're dead !" She threatened him. Puck didn't even shoot her a glance, he looked at Kurt once more before storming off in the hallway, shoving students on his way.
"What the hell is wrong with him ?" Mercedes asked, shocked. Kurt sighed, he knew what Puck was going through. Okay, he had never had sex with someone of the same gender drunk, thinking he was straight. But he knew that Puck was confused and could understand that. Kurt would have loved to talk to him calmly to try to make things somewhat easier for Puck but he wouldn't if he was to be beaten up.
Kurt knew he would be safe in one hour, there was only one class left before school ended, but this class was glee club.
"So, Finn, Rachel, would you please sing your duet to us ? Then we'll get to hear Kurt and Puck whose voices melt really well as we got to noticed last week." Mr Schue said.
"Mr Schue ?" Mercedes asked, raising her hand.
"Yes, Mercedes ?"
"I don't want Puck to get close to Kurt. I'm against their duet." She stated calmly.
"What ?" Mr Schue asked.
"Mercedes it's okay." Kurt told her, he didn't want to make a scene and that's all she was doing.
"Puck hit Kurt this morning, I'm not letting him near my boy" She simply stated.
"Puck, is that true ?" Mr Schue asked him severely. Puck had been avoiding everyone's gaze the whole day and he had quite a hard time making eye contact with the teacher.
"Yeah, so ?" He replied defiantly.
"Puck, I want to know why did you do such thing to your friend."
"Mr Schue it's okay." Kurt answered quickly. How could they explain why it happened ?
"What d'you want me to say ? That I fucked Kurt yesterday night and hit him this morning coz' I'm a monster like that ?" Puck said, making Kurt gasp and blush furiously. The Spanish teacher sighed.
"I only want the truth Puck, but apparently you think it's a game."
"And don't you dare insulting Kurt here, he'd never do anything with you !" Mercedes shouted to him The situation was desperate at that point, if Puck challenged Kurt to answer or showed the scratches and hickeys he had on his body everyone would know. Kurt couldn't get Puck anymore, he had been threatening Kurt to hurt him or whatever, if he ever told anyone and now here he was, telling the truth to the entire glee club. However, he was totally confused when Puck said he was a monster. He really seemed to be aware of what he had done and how much it had hurt Kurt, but still he kept on behaving like a jerk.
"I'd never touch him either." Puck simply stated, looking at Kurt in his eyes. But Puck's eyes said something else and Kurt felt even more confused now.
"Guys, I don't know what's going on between you two but you were ready to sing the song last week so I'd like to hear you now." Mr Schue stated.
"Kurt you don't have to sing with him." Mercedes told him firmly.
"I ain't gonna kill him in front of y'all. I don't want any witnesses." Puck shrugged.
"I don't want any threat in my classroom, Puck, it stops right now." Schue warned him. "Now, you two in the middle of the room, you sing your song and I want to feel thee emotions." He said. Kurt stood and walked to the middle of the room where Puck met him. It felt awkward to be standing beside him. Flashes of the night before popped up in his mind. He saw Puck sweating above him, sucking the skin of his neck, thrusting in and out and-
"Dude !" Puck snapped.
"What ?" Kurt asked.
"I don't know, maybe sing the song..." Puck said annoyed.
"Sorry." Kurt said, blushing. Despite his annoyed tone, Puck looked confused as well. Kurt started singing, his flawless voice taking over the quivering one he had before.
"Okay, stop." Mr Schue said, interrupting Kurt.
"Excuse me ?" Kurt asked, scandalized at being interrupted.
"I said I wanted to feel the emotion of the song, trying to look everywhere but in the other's eyes won't help you." The teacher stated. Kurt turned his eyes to meet Puck's. He started singing again and had to do a great work on himself not to lower his eyes. Puck's chocolate eyes burned him with their intensity. Then it was Puck's turn to sing and Kurt saw his eyes soften. Yet the feelings his eyes were transmitting didn't match the lyrics of the song, he looked guilty. Puck's eyes wandered over Kurt' bruise and he bit his lip slightly. He lifted his hand to brush it but Kurt smacked his hand away, making Puck break eye contact ad go back to his jerk-self.
"there's one thing I don't understand, why the hell was Puck sleeping in your room ?" Mercedes asked at night.
"He... he came to check if I was okay after I broke up with Blaine. We talked and fell asleep." Kurt said.
"Just like that ? Look Kurt, I'm not Finn, I can tell when you lie to me, and right now that's what you're doing. Puck had been acting weird for a while, just tell me he was lying when he said that thing in glee club."
"What thing ?" Kurt asked.
"You know, that you had sex.""
"Mercedes, how dare you ? It's Puck, I'd never do such thing !" Kurt lied. "I'd better go, it's half past eleven."
"Alright, be careful boo." She said, hugging him.
"Don't worry about me." He replied. He went to his car and drove home. When he parked his car in the alley, he was glad to find Finn's missing, he entered and threw his bag and jacket on the couch and went down to his room to sleep. He did a quick moisturizing routine and went to bed. His bed sheets smelled like sweat, sex and Puck. Kurt didn't care though, he was far too tired to care about anything.
