This Chapter covers Good Boy Kurt Chapter Fourteen
From the Other Side Chapter Fourteen
Mercedes Jones:
"Don't look at me Mercedes," Kurt says looking baffled, "I only knew about the beer keg incident." Turning to Karofsky he asks gently, "Why didn't you tell me? You didn't get hurt did you?" And her boo is clearly worried about his man.
"I'm fine babe," Karofsky says reassuring him, "I was going to tell you, only we got a little," he pauses and she swears the boy might be blushing slightly, "distracted when I got home and I forgot this morning when you came out to breakfast wearing that." And the boy's eyes graze over Kurt's body as her friend now flushes slightly
Tina Cohen-Chang:
"Distracted," Tina says, "Hmm I wonder how you got distracted?" And she can't help giggling.
To her shock Karofsky blushes and Kurt hides a smile.
"Uh-huh girlfriend and where was my phone call to tell me all of the details and gossip? What were you up to that kept you from something so important?" Mercedes asks sniffing out gossip.
And now Tina blushes, "Um, well Mike and I were, that is we, his abs, um, you see," she pauses and wonders how to get out of this, "we got distracted a little too and then I was late for curfew, and now I'm here." She points at Artie feeling bad about throwing him to the wolves, "Anyway he was there too, he could have told you."
Artie Abrams:
Damn Tina had just set Mercedes on him so he holds his hands up to fend off the diva's attack, "Hey don't look at me, I had Brittany and Santana to deal with and well, we kind of got distracted a little too."
And they had gotten distracted by Brittany and the saucer of milk for the fairies.
Mercedes Jones:
Huffing she hides her loneliness at not being with a certain blonde and grumbles, "Damn lovebirds and their damn distractions getting in the way of my gossip, bet this is a hot topic today too."
Beside her Kurt stirs and asks, "But what happened?"
Karofsky shrugs and says, "The fuckwit insulted you, I hit him, some of the guys hit him, end of story."
"He missed out all the drama and tense suspense moments," Tina says, "and the thing with Chastity." Chastity?
"The frog!" Artie laughs, "I thought I was going to pass out from lack of air when that happened! It was SO funny!" Frog?
Kurt links his arm with hers and they both demand the details, and somehow Mercedes manages to keep her arm there, Karofsky hasn't seemed to notice so she breathes a sigh of relief and she turns her attention to the story being told.
Tina Cohen-Chang:
She can see Mercedes and Kurt sitting there just like they used to do so she decides to start the tale.
"Well," Tina says, "I was in the main room with Mike, and there were jocks and cheerleaders everywhere, bad music, bad fashion, couples making out, drinking, and the other normal party stuff," and it's also quite boring. "David here was wandering around looking annoyed and checking his watch every five seconds, when this hockey jock in the middle of the room said something." She frowns, "I couldn't get it all but I heard Kurt's name and the words 'slut, whore, and waiting at home'."
They all been strung out keeping an eye on Karofsky and trying to gauge his mood, and it was clear he didn't want to be there, that he wanted to go home and was only there to because that's what winning teams did.
Artie Abrams:
Artie takes up the tale, "Oh I heard all of it, Santana and I were there, he said 'Karofsky dude, chill, that Kurt bitch is such a well trained little slut and whore he'll still be waiting at home for you to give it to him.'" Looking impressed at Karofsky the smaller boy continues, "Seriously Kurt your sweetheart here moved so fast and then," he mimes a punch, "Bam! The jock is down and people were trying to get away from an enraged Karofsky loose in the room."
Santana had been standing near Artie at the time and he'd heard her growl ready to tear the jock a new one until Karofsky had stepped in so quickly.
Tina Cohen-Chang:
Tina joins in, "He was like a blur, I've never seen anything like it." She leans forward, "And then when the jock is down he went even more scary and advanced slowly towards him flexing his fist, you just knew there was going to be a punch up."
And secretly she'd been cheering Karofsky on, even though she wants her friend back and away from this boy she's happy Kurt's boyfriend defended him.
Dave:
Snorting at their overly dramatic retelling of last time I disagree, "Oh please, like that little piece of shit could bring it, anyways he was crawling backwards to get away from me."
He'd made me so mad, no one calls Kurt that, no one.
Mercedes Jones:
Oh my god.
She'd missed so much last night, and then Tina says, "And that's when he bumped into Puck."
"Puck?" Mercedes stares at them and prays Puckerman didn't make it worse, he might be one hot stud but the guy had an amazing ability to screw up.
Tina Cohen-Chang:
Both Mercedes and Kurt's jaws have sagged at this news, "Yes, and Puck hauled him up onto his feet and said 'Dude I think your mouth said something bad about my little Princess,'" she carries on and hides her smile at Kurt's nickname, he pretended he hated it but his face always softened just like it has now. "Then Puck punched the jock in the mouth, hard." This time she mimes the punch.
Kurt and Mercedes are clinging to each other and hanging on every word.
Artie Abrams:
If Puck blew their minds they were gonna love this bit, "So the jock is on his hands and knees to get away from those two and then," he pauses, "Azimo steps up."
And Kurt's jaw drops completely, "Azimo? Azimo Adams?" Even as Mercedes gasps.
"Yep," Artie grins at their faces, "he stands there, folds his arms and just stares down at the guy on the floor before saying 'You being disrespectful to a football player's steady?'"
Mercedes Jones:
"He did not!" She gasps unable to cope with that bullying jerk standing up for Kurt.
Nodding Tina backs Artie up, "He did! I swear, and in front of everyone. And then he picks the guy up off the floor and punches him in the stomach."
Stunned Mercedes sits there, why the hell didn't someone phone her last night? Someone's gonna pay.
And then Tina says, "So the guy is surrounded on three sides and made a break for it, but he ran straight into Finn and Sam."
Sam, now Mercedes is worried about that bimbo and she waits impatiently for them to continue.
Dave:
Kurt's clinging to Mercedes and they're both on tender hooks, which is when Artie helpfully says, "So Finn picks the guy up and says 'Dude, seriously that looked super painful, here let me help you,'" I thought the guy was being his normal 'nice' self and wanted to punch him for not being there for Kurt when, "And then he knees the guy in the balls, the guy squeaks and Sam punches him in the face," Artie mimes yet another punch.
And that I was not expecting, god please let them finally be coming to their senses and stepping up for Kurt, else they don't deserve him and I hope I can get them back for hurting Kurt.
All four of them at the table are wide eyed and I roll my eyes, they are such drama queens, I can see why Kurt fitted in with them so well, "See I told you, just a few hits, no big deal."
However, "Scott Cooper and the rest of the hockey team turning up, now that was a surprise."
"David!" Kurt whines, "Details honey, details!" And he's gazing at me so sweetly that I get momentarily distracted.
Tina Cohen-Chang:
Taking pity on them Tina says, "Well Scott, Finn and Sam started arguing about one team going for another team's player up until Cooper found out what the guy had done then he walked over to the jock curled up on the floor and stared down at him and said coldly 'You got three choices, leave the team and don't come back, or you get to partner Karofsky for all body checks in practice for a month, or you can face me here now and then I better not hear about you pulling something like that again.'"
The whole room had gone silent and it had almost seemed like the hockey and football teams were going to fight and then Cooper had shocked everyone, though all the hockey jocks had glared at the downed player.
Dave:
And I nearly got a chance to knock the shit out of the kid, though I hide it behind the excuse of, "I was looking forward to those body checks, no one volunteers for them, the shit took the cowards way out and let Cooper hit him instead."
Kurt's hand sneaks into mine and squeezes in sympathy so I smile at him.
"Poor baby," he tells me knowing how much I miss being able to body check people, he doesn't understand it, but then he's so gentle I just wanna keep him safe from the world.
Artie Abrams:
"Poor baby my sweet behind," Artie interrupts, "After Cooper hit him the jock made a run for it and he passed by Dave, you should have heard the scary growl he got, and the death glare," and the growl had made the hair on the back of Artie's neck stand up.
"So of course while David's all riled up Chastity plastered herself against him." The boy sounds disgusted, "I can't stand that girl, she's even made a play for me, luckily Santana out bitched her," he'd been sure to thank Santana for that and had set her up with Britt for some alone time, it was the least he could do.
Tina Cohen-Chang:
"Don't get me started on her," Tina huffs, "I had to peel Chastity off Mike, and now he hides every time he sees her."
The girl didn't know how to take 'No' as an answer.
Mercedes Jones:
It was universal, no one likes Chastity, and she asks, "So then what happened? I thought you mentioned a frog?"
"Well," Artie says, "Chastity was stuck to Dave and he was doing his best to push her off and saying how he didn't want to catch anything from her diseased body." Mercedes can see Kurt's hand curl in annoyance, "When Quinn walks up to her and rips her off of him."
"Quinn?" Kurt sounds surprised but then Quinn's had to listen to all of them bitch about Chastity and Quinn was having to fend off the girl's attempts to become Head Cheerleader too.
Tina leans forward, "And that's not all, she pulled the scrunchie out of the girl's hair!" From another cheerleader that's a huge insult. "Then Brittany wandered over and said 'I really don't like you.' And Brittany likes everyone."
Artie sniggers, "Then Santana joined in and bitched at the girl and pushed her, and then all three of them were herding her towards the door saying how she really needs to leave coz no one wants her there." He laughs, "But then Lauren entered the fray and bodily picked Chastity up, hauled her to the door and flung her out into the night."
Oh Mercedes wishes she'd been there, the next party was going to be at Quinn's so she'd be allowed to go, stupid social hierarchy at school.
Tina giggles, "The best part is she landed in the ornamental fish pond and fountain in the middle of the drive with a giant splash." Tina, Artie and even Karofsky laugh, "When she came up, she…" Tina laughs too hard to continue.
Artie says, "There was this bright green frog stuck to top of her head, and it promptly slid down her face, it was hilarious!" He fishes his phone out and hands it over, "It's not a good picture but still so funny."
Mercedes and Kurt peer down at the screen, and there is a blurry red-haired cheerleader, soaking wet with a green blob on her hair. OMG, there really was a frog, she really feels sorry for the frog.
Recovering Tina then mentions "And at that point a jock carrying a beer keg, tripped and it went all over poor Dave, who turned, growled at the other jock and right in the middle of the room the guy's eyes rolled up in his head and he fainted dead away." She shrugs, "The party pretty much broke up at that point, it was a good party though."
Artie nods agreeing with her, "Yep, especially the frog."
Why does she always miss the best bits at parties?
Dave:
Kurt's sitting there smiling and surrounded by his old friends. Mercedes has taken care of him this morning and defended him from Rachel. Both Tina and Artie were acting fine with Kurt, perhaps they were coming around.
Taking a chance I take Kurt's tray, he's finished the crappy little salad, "Okay I gotta to go, see you later Kurt, guys."
I lean in to kiss Kurt's cheek when the goth chick coughs, what the fuck is her problem, but she doesn't look upset, and she coughs again, "Hot man kisses," cough.
You have got to be kidding me.
Rolling my eyes I take this as a good sign that they're accepting Kurt, sighing I catch Kurt's eyes, "Well I suppose just this once."
Leaning in again I take my time and Kurt's eyes lock on mine until they drop down to my mouth. I press my lips to his gently and he closes his eyes. I lift a hand up to his face and slip it around the back of his head ruffling his hair and then gripping firmly as I slide my tongue into his mouth, our tongues tangle and he moans softly into my mouth.
Hands reach up to my chest and his fingers cling to my t-shirt, god I want this to last, I know I've told him what I want after school, but damn I'm not sure I can last that long. Pulling back I take a deep breath to steady myself and press a loving kiss to his swollen lips.
"And does that fit your hot man kiss criteria?" I ask Tina amused and use her as an excuse as to why I don't drag Kurt off, plus it gives him some time to recover he's blinking a little to clear his head and tonight can't come soon enough, just the thought of what that sinful mouth can do is getting me hard.
"Uh-huh," Tina says staring at us.
"Now I really have to go, later babe," grabbing the trays I leave with good intentions and the promise of later.
Artie Abrams:
Two chicks is acceptable, always has been, but now two guys apparently are too, and he shifts on his chair wondering how he's supposed to explain that watching Karofsky kiss Kurt had been hot, none of the guys would understand.
At least Tina and Mercedes look like their thinking the same thing.
Tina Cohen-Chang:
She'd said that to try and show Karofsky that they were all fine with him being gay, she'd thought it would be a little kiss, she wasn't expecting that. And Kurt clearly enjoyed it.
As did Mercedes and surprisingly Artie.
Mercedes Jones:
Oh my god.
She has to stop thinking that.
And that was so hawt it melted the hot'o'meter.
The little noise Kurt had made was not an upset noise, no that was a 'this is one hot kiss so I have to make a hot noise too' noise.
She knows it's wrong of her to be so into that kiss, and please god let Karofsky have made everything that good for her boo.
Normally pale her friend has a slight flush and his eyes are a little unfocused, and damn why did he have to be gay? She thought she'd gotten over her little crush, and she was but he was still damn sexy.
Sighing she turns to him and he blinks back.
Mike Chang:
Sam and Santana had cornered him and now he's lurking outside the canteen waiting, then he sees Karofsky leave and the guy's smiling for a second before his scowl snaps into place.
Giving him a few minutes to walk off Mike peered into the canteen and the four of them were sitting at a table. Tina, Mercedes and Artie were all looking at Kurt so Mike takes that as good and nips around the corner to send a text letting people know they were safe.
Sam Evans:
Yes, they're okay.
He wasn't thinking of just Mercedes, he really wasn't.
Santana Lopez:
And now Britt doesn't need to worry, because that was the only reason she was worried.
Except she's having to start admit that might not be all of it.
A/N: Sorry for any and all mistakes, I'm only human. And I'm doing my best to keep them all in character but it's hard bouncing from POV to POV thank you for bearing with me on this one.
I refuse to promise how often I'll update this one, its tough to write.
