Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Glee, obviously.

Note: This chapter will be in Puck's POV, but it'll be Kurt's POV next chapter. But you guys already knew that, right? Oh, and I also got a wonderful email with ideas that I'll use in the story. They're as sweet as candy, as my sister would say. Thanks for the ideas Renee; I'll probably use the ideas in the upcoming chapters, so be on the lookout for them! :D


Afterschool on the same day that I had put my revenge plan into action, I had caught Mercedes shouting insults at a couple of the jocks during my trip to football practice. They were shoving around someone, but I couldn't really tell who it was because they were pushing the person pretty fast, almost like they do with a football. They shouted stuff back at her, and I decided to go join in on the fun. God must really be liking me right now, because I saw that it was Kurt once I got closer.

I think I'm a great actor, especially when I'm in a this-is-too-good-of-an-opportunity-to-pass-up mode. In this case, I was going to act like I was coming to Kurt's rescue, but in reality, I was only trying to put myself in a position where I'd be able to get on his good side. Genius, I know. So I yanked on Kurt's arm and pulled him away from the other jocks, quickly putting his hood over his head and turning to my friends with a look of anger. Even though Kurt might've been a mess after all the shoving, Mercedes was still watching. Time for my big debut.

"Back off, or else you'll get your asses singled out next time Coach Tenaka decides to do one of his check-ups!" I shouted at them, obviously working up a scene that I was pretty sure would start to get the cogs in my plan working. "I'll make sure to tell him all about those vitamins you got from the nurse that get you high before a game!"

"Why are you sticking up for him?!" Mike shouted back at me. He was pretty pissed of, and when he is, he's quick to speak up for himself. "Just last week we were all shoving him in a dumpster!"

I had to keep the gig up, or else saving Kurt would've gone to waste. I couldn't tell them straight out what was going on while Kurt was right next to me, or even tell them my plan at all, but I had to come up with something quick.

"Things changed," I whispered quickly. "I'll explain it all later at practice, okay?"

I don't know what happened to Kurt while all this was going on, but I guess he fainted and his head hit the gravel, which I could tell was not good. He probably knocked out on contact, and Mercedes wasn't happy about it.

"Kurt!" She exclaimed as she saw him fall. She glanced at me fearfully as the rest of my teammates began to laugh. "Puck, do something!"

"You've got to be kidding me," I grumbled, but scooped him up anyways.

I told myself that this would be worth it eventually as Mercedes rummaged through his bag to find the keys to his car. Once she found them and managed to unlock the car, I used my foot to kick the door handle and pop open the closest door. Once I set Kurt in the back I turned to the other jocks, but they were already heading back to the school to get ready for practice.

I turned back to the car, where Mercedes was already in the drivers' seat trying to figure out how to work the car. I figured that I might as well try to get Kurt to return to the world of the living so I started to shake him, but not too hard, because I didn't need for him to wake up and slap me or something like that. It would bump me back down to square one of my revenge plan.

His eyes suddenly flew open and he gasped, trying to shoot up in his seat. Unfortunately, I was hunched over him and he smacked his head against my chest. His face turned red, and I mean blood red, and I couldn't help but smirk down at him. And it wasn't because I thought he was cute or anything; it was because he looked funny.

"Looks like Sleeping Dorky woke up from his slumber," I chuckled. He scowled and shoved his hands against my chest roughly. Even though he's scrawny, he's actually kind of strong. Never knew that? Well, neither did I until he used his strength to shove me against the drivers' seat.

"That's so original," He grumbled.

"At least I'm not the one who fainted in front of everyone," I snorted.

"I was just…shocked that you'd come to my rescue." He sighed. He glanced away from me and I slid down into the seat beside him.

"Are you going to come to practice, or are you and Mariah Carey going someplace else?" I asked, crossing my arms. He looked at me for a moment, then turned his head in the opposite direction.

"I'm not going to go today, but I'll be there tomorrow." He replied after a moment of silence.

Now it was time for the grand finale. Oh, this was going to be good. I leaned my head down a bit, so my lips were only inches from his face. I whispered softly into his ear, "I'll see you tomorrow then…lightweight."

I made sure to let my hand touch his, but barely, so that I could leave him wanting more. It was as if I was trying to seduce a girl, but it was Kurt instead of one of the Cheerios. He turned to me with wide eyes, which I only had a few seconds to lock on to as I jumped out of his car. I shut the door and tapped on the window to signal that Mercedes could leave with Kurt now. And that was the end of my amazing performance that probably left Kurt speechless, if that's even possible.

I knew for sure that the other jocks would hit me up when I got to practice so they could know why I stood up for Kurt, so I was prepared when Mike and Matt walked up to me while I was talking with Finn in the locker room as soon as practice was over.

"So Puckerman, care to give us that explanation you promised?" Mike questioned.

"I'm just trying to get on his good side," I replied casually. "If I get closer to him, maybe I can hurt him from the inside."

While Mike and Matt seemed to consider this, Finn gave me a weird look. "Who are you talking about?"

"Kurt Hummel," Matt spoke up. "While the rest of us decided to gang up on gaykin, Puck thought it would be better to come to his rescue."

Finn might be a real idiot sometimes, but it didn't take him long to put all the pieces together this time. He glanced at me uneasily, "So…you're trying to get close to Kurt just so you can hurt him?"

I shrugged, "So, what's your point?"

"It just seems wrong. I mean, what has he ever done to us?" Finn asked. See, this is exactly why I find it hard to believe that this guy has the girls falling for him left and right. It's not that Kurt's ever done anything, it's just because he shouldn't be allowed to exist. But Finn was my best friend, so I took his words into consideration.

"Well he has sick fantasies about almost all of us, so I take that as a good reason." I shrugged.

"Last time Kurt said anything, he thought you were unattractive, Puck." Mike spat, grinning slyly.

"As if I care," I scoffed. "One less gay guy I have to worry about stalking me."

"Whatever you say, Puck, whatever you say." Matt sighed and the two walked off to change. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Finn, who was already dressed.

"I'll catch you later, man." He said, but hesitated slightly. "Can you…can you just try not to get too close to Kurt? It's not cool that you plan on hurting him."

I frowned, "I can't make any promises."

"Well, it isn't always the best thing to do. Using someone, I mean. It'll end up coming to bite you in the ass," He replied curtly and rushed off towards the exit. I rolled my eyes once more and pulled my pants up just as I heard a familiar groan coming from Coach Tenaka's office.

"Are you sure you won't be able to make it to practice tomorrow?"

"Yeah; I hit my head pretty badly and I think I'll have to rest for a bit until I can heal it, but I'm sure I'll be ready for the game next week."

"Alright then, Hummel, as long as you're okay with it."

"I am, don't worry."

I blinked once, unable to comprehend what was going on with Coach. I shoved my shirt on and slipped toward the end of the locker row. Peeking around the corner, I saw Kurt standing beside Coach Tenaka with a bandage wrapped around his head. His dad must've grilled him when he got home. And since there was no sign of Mercedes anywhere, I guessed that she went home as soon as she got to Kurt's place.

"See you next Friday, then." Coach Tenaka sighed and returned back to his office. Kurt let out a sigh of relief and walked off in the opposite direction of my locker. For a split second, I wondered if I was the cause of this sudden change in his plans, but I quickly brushed it off and continued on with what I was doing. I would just ask Kurt the next time I saw him, and I was sure that it would be soon.
