Chapter 9:
Puck was still sitting on Kurt's bed feeling like crap. He had been so stupid. Kurt was right he had acted like a fucking child.
He took his phone out of his pocket and called Finn. He heard a noise at the other end of the line but no one spoke.
"Finn ?" He asked.
"What do you want Puck" Finn asked.
"Just to tell you what I said was a lie, Kurt and I aren't together." Puck said.
"Then why did you say that ?" Finn asked angry.
" I just want you to understand that I'm gonna do Kurt no harm okay ? You're always thinking I'm gonna kill him or something but I won't" Puck explained.
"Why do you call me to say that ?" Finn asked sharply.
"Because Kurt is really mad at me and I wanted to show you I'm not mean to him." Puck explained.
"But you've been mean to him in the past, why would you stop ?" Finn asked coldly.
"So have you, why did you stop ?" Puck asked.
"Because I'm about to become his brother Puck, to what I know you're not."
"Let's just say that I care about him okay ? I've seen what Karofsky did to him and I realized that he's a good guy who needs to be protected."
"That's what I do, he doesn't need you for that." Finn's tone was still cold.
"You've hurt him more than I have Finn and I'm not always telling him who he can or can't talk to."
"That's for his own good okay ?"
"What good was in telling him not to talk to Sam ?" Puck asked
"It was for Sam's own good okay ? I don't want to talk about that" Finn said sharply.
"Alright, see ya" Puck answered before hanging up.
"Thanks Puck" Kurt said, Puck hadn't seen him going out of the bathroom.
" I'm sorry Kurt, I really didn't mean to piss you off" Puck told him.
" I know but don't do it again okay ? Finn is too naive to joke about that with him."
" I won't. But did he really think I wanted to do a threesome with him ?" Puck asked laughing.
" I think he did" Kurt conceded smiling back.
"Let's watch a movie ?" Puck offered Kurt nodded. They watched Big Fish against Puck's will.
When he woke up in the morning Puck's back hurt. He had fallen asleep in front of the movie in a sitting position.
Kurt was sleeping next to him, his head on Puck's lap. He looked at the smaller boy sleeping and didn't have the heart to wake him up. He stayed there although his back hurt and waited for Kurt to wake up. The door opened and footsteps went down the stairs.
"What is that ?" Burt asked frowning.
"Hi Mr Hummel. Uh... We fell asleep in front of a movie yesterday night." Puck explained
"On your lap ?" Burt asked suspiciously.
" I guess it's comfortable..." Puck said. Burt looked at him severely.
"Okay, wake him up or you'll be late for school." Burt told him before heading back upstairs. Puck looked down at Kurt and told him softly.
"Hey sleeping beauty it's time to wake up." Kurt moved a little but didn't wake up. Puck shook gently the sleeping boy's shoulder. Kurt whimpered something. "Come on Kurt or we'll be late at school."
"mmm Don't wanna go to school" Kurt mumbled.
"We have to perform our song today come on I can't do it alone." He tried to convince Kurt.
"Yes you can."
"Not without standing up"
"Then stand up and let me sleep." He mumbled.
" I need my lap for that and it's actually taken." He explained.
"But you're comfortable" Kurt argued.
"You won't have time for your moisturizing routine if you don't get up now." Puck said smirking. Kurt suddenly sat up
"Oh my god I already forgot it yesterday night !" He said before heading to his vanity desk, after staring at his reflection in the mirror he added "You're a skin killer Noah Puckerman !". Puck chuckled as he stood up and went to the bathroom to have a shower.
When they were in the car on their way to school Kurt turned to Puck.
"We have to stay away from each other today for Finn not to suspect anything"
"Oh fuck Finn, if I wanna talk to you I do !" Puck replied annoyed.
"Puck please ! My dad and Carole will marry and if Finn tells Carole that he thinks we're boyfriends Carole will tell my dad and there's no way he thinks that !" Kurt explained.
The day went quite well for Kurt. He got slushied just once at lunch time but he had spare clothes in his locker so he was okay. He shared almost all his classes with Mercedes and they gossiped about the last few days since they had barely seen each other.
" I saw that Mr Schue had paired you up with Puck, that's not cool, he knows you two don't get along at all." Mercedes said during Geometry class. "Did he try to hurt you or something ?" She asked glaring at the mohawk head in the corner of the classroom.
"No he didn't, it was almost cool to work together, we have some common musical tastes." Kurt explained.
"Well he'd rather not hurting you ! I'll cut his face if he does." Mercedes threatened.
"Don't worry Mercedes, he won't, and anyway we'll perform our song today so it's okay."
"If you say so white boy..." She shot one last glare at Puck who sent it back to her this time. "He's creepy" She added.
Kurt laughed to himself, if only she knew that he had spent the night on his lap.
