Chapter 12:

When there was a knock at the door Kurt ran to open it. Puck was setting the table when Helen entered the kitchen.

"Hi Noah, how are you ?" She asked him. Puck really liked the woman, she was warm and there was something in her that screamed "freedom" and it was really pleasant. Kurt had told Puck about her story, she had left home when she was eighteen to live in San Francisco with her girlfriend. She was kind of a hippie and it was unusual of a thing to see since there were none in Lima.

Helen said hi to everybody and they sat at the table. When she took a spliff out of a little box Kurt opened wide eyes.

"Don't look at me this way Kurt, you think I haven't noticed your weed-closet ?" She asked pointing at the closet.

"Wow, we need to hide it better." Keith stated.

"Actually I smelled it, there's no way you can enter without smelling this pleasant scent." She smiled.

Everyone laughed, she had a way of making everyone comfortable it was amazing.

The dinner went well, there was animation around the table, everyone was talking to everyone it was a really nice moment.

"Kurt, I think I'll go visit your dad this week."

"What ? Why ?" Kurt panicked.

"Hey, calm down, I just want to visit him to see how he is and cheer him up a little. I won't tell him what I know." Kurt sighed in relief. "If I see that he's devastated do you think you could call him ?" There was concern for her brother in her voice. Kurt nodded.

"Great ! It would be a good idea for you too Noah, Burt told me that your mother is very sad as well." Puck nodded he intended to call his sister soon anyway.

When they were done eating they sat around the living room table and kept on talking for a while.

When a comfortable silence settled Keith asked.

"Kurt why don't you sing us a song ?" Kurt blushed.

"Uh … yeah why not. Noah, along with me ?" Puck nodded grabbing his guitar. He played the first notes of Run Joey Run and Kurt burst out laughing. " I can't believe you took part in that !" Kurt said.

"What's funny ?" Keith asked. Kurt explained the whole story and everyone burst out laughing.

When they regained composure they sang the song together, Keith put a possessive arm around Kurt's waist at the middle of the song. When they sang the last notes they laughed again at the thought of the stupid video clip Rachel had made.

After that Helen decided it was time for her to leave, she said bye to everyone and hugged Kurt tightly.

She asked Puck to take her to the door of the building and he did so.

" I don't like him at all." She said out of nowhere.

"Who ?" Puck asked.

"The same one you hate." She stated.

"I don't hate him I just ..." She raised an eyebrow.

"You just can't stand how he behaves with Kurt. It's the same for me. I hate how this guy tries to show he owns Kurt. Have you already talked to Kurt about that ?" She asked him.

"Yes I did but he's his first boyfriend and Kurt really likes him." Puck explained bitterly.

"I see, I'll talk to him. Oh, and if you don't want him to notice anything, stop looking at him that way. Bye Noah" She said before turning on her heels and leaving.

Puck watched as she went away. He knew what she meant and that was exactly what he had dreaded. He was seeing Kurt differently since a little while. He was his only real friend now and was the only one who knew everything. Puck didn't even know if his mother would have comforted him as well as Kurt had. He was very grateful to Kurt for taking him here. He made him forget about everything when they were just the two of them, he told him a lot of senseless things and they could talk this way for hours without Puck remembering of Max's touch on his skin.

Yet, as soon as someone appeared and joined them, Puck felt very much alone and everything invaded his mind again. He had tried to find someone else to erase the memories but Kurt was the only one to have these effects. He hadn't told Kurt since the boy would freak-out thinking that Puck was in love or something. But Puck was not in love or anything, he was just in need of forgetting about his trauma and Kurt was the only one who could provide him that. But that was all, just comfort. Not any bullshit like love. Yet, Puck could not really explain the hatred he had grown towards Keith.

True, what he had told Kurt was mean, but even after that he did not hate him like now. Kurt looked happy with him, but the more Puck saw them together the more he hated Keith. The guy had always been all kinds of nice to him, except for the little jealousy he showed because of the relationship Kurt and Puck had. He had never talked about it but he showed it constantly and it pissed Puck off. Not only did this guy had Kurt in every possible way he could have him, well, not in every way since Kurt was not ready for him. But he spent days and nights with Kurt and needed to show he was his in every single way. And Kurt never said anything, he just smiled as if he didn't mind being shown as an object.

"Hey, we thought you got lost or something." Puck was leaning against the wall when Keith appeared. "Are you okay ? You're all frowning you look angry." Keith inquired. Puck knew he was only being nice to him but it achieved to irritate him.

"Look Keith, I don't like the way you treat Kurt." He stated. He really wanted to keep cool and not yell at him. Keith opened wide eyes.

"What are you talking about ? I treat Kurt damn well."

"No you don't, you're always acting like he's yours but he doesn't belong to anyone. You use him as an object you're proud of owning and show him to everyone."

"Kurt never complained about anything I don't see what's your problem." He sounded irritated too now.

"Kurt doesn't complain because he's not self-confident enough to realize how great he is. That' why he won't realize that you use him."

" I'm not fuckin' using him !" He was angry now.

"Yes you are. You are when you come back from I don't no where and drag him to your room to jerk you off. He's never been with anyone before so he doesn't see that it's not how things are supposed to be. But I do and I know that in a normal relationship the two are supposed to get pleasure and you barely give him. I hear you at night and to what I hear you're just using him as your fuckin' sex toy !" Puck was almost shouting now.

"You have no idea what you're talking about ! And what we do in bed is none of your fuckin' business !"

"Yes it is, it started to be when you tried to force him into having sex while he was not ready ! Don't you understand when someone tells you no ?"

"He told you that ?" Keith asked.

"He didn't need to tell me I heard you and I fuckin' wanted to beat you up when you made him feel guilty enough to give you head after what you told him !" Puck clenched his fists at the memory.

" I always knew you wanted him like mad ! When Kurt told me you were coming I knew you wanted him for yourself ! But he's mine and nothing you can fuckin' tell him will change that !"

" I don't want him ! I want to protect him from the jerk you are to him !" The door opened and they both stopped talking when they saw Kurt appearing.

"Hey guys what are you doing ?" He inquired.

"Spliffin" Puck answered hastily when he remembered he still had a spliff in his hand. Kurt rolled his eyes.

"Let's go back inside babe." Keith told Kurt before grabbing his hand and dragging him inside.

Puck clenched his fists once more but didn't say anything. He did not want Kurt to know what he had told Keith.

Keith didn't seem to want Kurt to know either since there was no change in Kurt's behavior the following days. That proved him that Keith knew Puck was right, but he did not change anything as well. He just acted more possessive in front of Puck. He also screamed louder at night now he knew Puck could hear them.

A/N: Another chapter with Aunt Helen since you liked her, unfortunately we won't see her a lot after that since big things will happen almost all of a sudden. But of course i won't tell you anymore.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and that you all want to shout "Go to hell Keith !"
