Finn must've told her about the whole present thing with Kurt, and now they were probably wondering what he could have bought for him.
He found out that he was right with his thoughts when Finn came to his locker and asked him the question he had been waiting for.
"So, what did you get as a birthday present?"
"A new guitar case."
Finn's eyes widened, "Kurt bought you a new guitar case?"
"No," Puck answered, closing his locker with a little slam of the door, "My parents bought it."
"Oh." Finn frowned, "What did you get from Kurt then?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"Nope, nothing."
"But-"
"Look, Finn," Puck was getting annoyed and rounded angrily on his best friend, "Even if he would've bought me something, it's none of your business ok?"
"Ok..." Finn was taken aback a little, " Fine, whatever you want. I'll go and see what Quinn's doing."
Puck didn't say anything and just let Finn walk away.
He felt eyes watching him and turned around to see Kurt staring at him.
He seemed nervous and almost a little scared.
Puck didn't say anything. He just walked up to Kurt and draped his arm around his shoulders.
Kurt looked at him, wide-eyed, but Puck just smiled at him, leading him through the hallway.
"What are you doing?" Kurt whispered, looking around nervously.
"Leading you to class," Puck answered simply, " What does it look like I'm doing?"
"I'm not..." Kurt shrugged Puck's arm off of him, "I'm not really comfortable with this."
The look on Puck's face was so full of hurt from rejection, that Kurt almost regretted his doings.
Yes, almost...
"I just..." Kurt tried to find the right words to say, but apparently couldn't, "I'll see you later, ok?"
Without waiting for an answer, Kurt just left Puck standing there alone.
Mercedes and Rachel had seen the whole interaction between Kurt and Puck and were confused and curious at the same time.
They decided to ask Kurt about it and cornered him at his locker a little later on in the day.
"Kurt, what's going on between you and Puck?" Mercedes asked in her usual way.
"Me and Puck?" Kurt asked, semi-confused, "I don't know what you're talking about, Mercedes. There's nothing going on between me and him."
"Are you sure?" Rachel asked while both her and Mercedes crossed their arms over their chests.
"Yes, I'm completely sure."
"Then what did you buy Puck for his birthday?"
Kurt turned around with wide eyes, his friends eyeing him intently.
"How do you girls know about that?"
"Quinn." Mercedes and Rachel answered in unison.
"I should've known..."
"So," Rachel asked again, "What did you buy him?"
"Not that it's any of your businesses, but, I bought him nothing."
"Nothing?" The two girls asked at the same time again, sharing a look between each other.
"Yes, nothing."
"But, Quinn said-"
"I think I know what Quinn said, Rachel." Kurt interrupted her, "And if you don't believe me, then you can always ask Puck."
With that, he closed his locker, gave them a meaningful raise of his eyebrows and walked away.
Leaving Mercedes and Rachel more curious and confused then ever.
He was pretty confused about this all as well...
But one thing was for sure, none of them had to know what he had done for Puck's birthday.
Because it was way too personal and they would only think something wrong about it.
This was something between him and Puck and he was determined to keep it that way.
And he hoped Puck would do the same...
