AN: I usually never post two chapters in a day, but I had to post this ASAP. I really love this chapter. I hope you guys do too :)
"So, do you think it worked?" Kurt inquired.
"I dunno. Looks like it, though." Puck smiled and shoulder-bumped Kurt, who smiled back, blushing a little.
"Well, we shouldn't get our hopes up until-" Kurt stopped suddenly. Puck started to ask why, but Kurt shushed him, listening hard.
"Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Listen." Kurt leaned closer to the wall next to them. He swore he could hear two girls giggling in the hallway next to theirs. Puck listened in and heard it too.
"That sounds like—"
"Mercedes," Kurt finished.
"And Quinn…"
Puck started towards the next hallway. Both boys looked slyly around the corner, seeing Quinn and Mercedes sitting next to each other on the floor, holding hands. Their faces were only inches apart, and they were both smiling brightly. As they watched, Quinn's smile faded a little, and she whispered to Mercedes, "I think someone's watching us."
The girls turned to face Puck and Kurt, who stepped sheepishly into view. Puck suddenly felt guilty for spying on them. Kurt, however, couldn't stop smiling.
"You boys really shouldn't spy on other people," Mercedes scolded playfully.
"Sorry," Kurt apologized. "I'm just so excited that our plan actually worked!"
Quinn frowned. "What plan?"
"Well, we've sort of been…"
"Matchmaking you girls."
Quinn and Mercedes looked at each other and suddenly started giggling. Puck and Kurt exchanged confused glances. Mercedes finally explained.
"Boys, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but…we've sort of been together for a while."
Quinn stepped forward and wrapped an arm around her girlfriend's waist. "Sorry we didn't tell you, Kurt."
"It's okay," Kurt said, smiling. "I understand not exactly wanting to make that public just yet."
"Well guys, I'm sorry to skip out like this, but I really gotta leave," Mercedes announced, slipping away from Quinn. She kissed her quickly and waved to Kurt before gathering up her things.
"I should really leave too," Quinn said. "Bye, Kurt!"
"Bye, girls! Congratulations, by the way!"
"Thanks!"
Quinn and Mercedes got their bags and left, leaving Puck and Kurt alone in the empty hallway. Kurt watched with a smile on his face as the girls left, when he felt Puck's hand on his shoulder. Kurt slowly turned around to face him.
"So I guess our efforts kinda failed, huh?" Kurt said, grimacing.
Puck half-smiled. "Well, not entirely."
Kurt frowned in confusion. "What do you…?"
Puck took a step closer to Kurt and started to play with the other boy's fingers, still smiling that cocky half-smile. Kurt froze, unsure of what to do.
"You wanna hear a secret?" Puck said quietly, his face inches away from Kurt's.
"Yes," Kurt answered, his breathing hitched.
Puck leaned forward further still, so that their faces were almost touching. Kurt shivered slightly at the close contact, but he didn't move. Puck's voice was hardly a whisper.
"I think I really like you."
Kurt shouldn't have been this surprised by this announcement, especially with the way Puck had been flirting with him recently. The fact that Puck had even helped him in the first place was suspicious enough. Even still, it came as a complete shock. As did the fact that in the next two minutes, he had his arms wrapped around Puck's neck, kissing him hard. Sure, Puck was hot, but geez. Kurt would have never expected to make out with him, much less enjoy it. Besides, Puck wasn't even…
"Wait," Kurt muttered, attempting to pull away from Puck. Puck just stared, saying nothing.
"I-I can't do this." Kurt avoided Puck's eyes as he spoke. "I-I just…you're not even gay, Puck! How do I—" Kurt stopped short when he saw Puck's face creep into that cocky half-smile. "What?"
"Nothing is impossible when it comes to love, Kurt."
Kurt stopped, realizing what Puck was saying. Slowly, he smiled back. He wrapped his arms even tighter around Puck's neck and relaxed against him. Puck pulled him in closer.
"So…I guess our efforts weren't totally wasted."
Kurt sighed into his shoulder. "Definitely not."
"I love you, Kurt," Puck whispered.
"I love you too, Noah."
