Here be chapter 14!
Thank you jjake09 for beta'ing for me, he's awesome! Thanks to all who review, you rock!
The song in this chapter is Faithful Lover by Declan Bennett, yes I have a little crush. You can find it on you tube, though the version I found has part of a different song as the opening.
Glee still isn't mine, really
Kurt
Thursday afternoon came and Kurt was exceedingly happy that he would be heading to Dayton after school the next day. He missed his boyfriend so much. Things around McKinley had changed, sadly for the worse, but he would never tell Noah that. Karofsky had started bullying him again now that Noah was gone. It wasn't anything he hadn't dealt with before though so he wasn't going to bother telling his man. Knowing him, he would fly off the handle and rush to Lima to kick Dave's ass. It did help that he had Mercedes and strangely enough, Sam. The blonde and him had become pretty good friends. They had been seeing a lot of each other lately and Kurt welcomed the friendship. He didn't really understand why Noah thought that Sam had it for him; he had been nothing but a friend these past few weeks. Kurt found it funny that in some ways Sam was nerdier than himself. Kurt was not a fan of Avatar, neither has he ever been into role playing, well at least not like Dungeons and Dragons. Not that Sam would admit to playing D & D, the only reason he admitted it to Kurt was because he saw his Buffy DVD's. Kurt had to inform Sam that his nerdienes was gay, not just nerdy. Sam had been over at his place every day this week. They had been working on his "payment" for his advice giving. Kurt was getting more and more excited about seeing Noah each time him and Sam got together. No matter how much he enjoyed hanging out with Sam, he always missed Noah more when he was with him. Probably because what they were doing was all about Noah.
Kurt was in his room after school packing and waiting for Sam to show up. He was listening to a mix that always made him think of Noah, sex with him, cuddling with him, just him. He was dancing and singing as he took things from one place to his suit case. Then he was struck with incredible embarrassment when he realized that Sam had been watching him.
"Nice butt," Sam said with a chuckle.
"Oh shut up,' Kurt squealed as he launched a pillow at him. "How long have you been here?"
"Long enough to know that you hold back in glee club. With your dancing at least." He gave Kurt a look that was slightly alarming, but Kurt just brushed it off as playful, friendly flirting. They had been doing that some lately.
"Ok, whatever, lets get to this eh?"
"Yeah ok, I guess. Or we could…"
Kurt was suddenly aware that Sam had gotten way closer to him. "Um, we could what?" Kurt asked him, getting suspicious.
Sam closed the distance between the two of them. "I'm sure we could think of something."
Kurt backed away from him, going to grab his latest purchase. "How about we just get right to it? Then maybe after if we want we can watch a movie or something? I really want to get to work, cause I'm going to see Noah tomorrow. For the weekend." Kurt really emphasized that last part and he was pretty sure he saw Sam's face fall. Good. Sure Kurt didn't want to hurt him, but he had to understand that Noah and him are together and in no way does Sam stand a chance. It seemed to work because they did stop talking and get to what they were supposed to be doing. This time their session was strained though, less easy going and fun than the previous ones. Kurt didn't like it, but he also didn't know what to do about it. So he just stuck with it and suffered through. Once they had decided that they had had enough, Sam turned to Kurt, a strange look on his face.
"So…"
"Yes?"
Sam stepped up so that their bodies were as close as they could get without actually touching. "Am I crazy, or is there something here?" He gestured at Kurt, then himself as he spoke.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is…" Sam leaned in closer, licking his lips.
Kurt put a hand on Sam's chest and gently pushed. "If you are about to try what I think you are, you should just stop right now."
Sam sighed, "come on Kurt, like you've never thought about it. Especially with Puck so far away now."
That really pissed Kurt off. "Ok Rock Star Barbie, I don't know where you got the idea that even a sliver of me could possibly be attracted to you, but you are sadly mistaken. You may be entertaining some kind of ideas that because you play football and guitar that I would be falling all over myself to get a piece. But if that's what you think, then you obviously don't even know me a little. I would like it if you left now. Thanks for the lessons, even though I'm sure they were just some ploy to get into my pants."
"But, Kurt-"
"No! There is absolutely nothing you could say to make this ok. I was actually beginning to consider you a friend so I will think about whether I still want you to fill that spot. But know this Sam, if we stay friends you have to know without a doubt that we," he pointed to Sam and then himself, "will NEVER be more than that."
Sam looked as though he was going to say something and Kurt just put a hand up to stop him before shooing him up the stairs. Sam stood there, a look on his face like he was trying to figure out what he should do before finally just leaving. Kurt collapsed down on his bed feeling stupid, confused and hurt. He reached for his phone, intending to call Noah before thinking better of it. He would just get pissed off and want to come out to Lima to teach Sam a lesson. No he would wait to drop this news on his boyfriend until he was in Dayton with him.
The next day Kurt couldn't wait for school to end. After he had calmed down some, he finished packing and put his stuff by the stairs so he would remember it in the morning. He was so excited that he decided to leave as soon as school was over. His day couldn't have gone by more slowly. It didn't help that he was desperately trying to avoid Sam. He was pretty successful though, only seeing him during glee which he could only avoid if he skipped. That he didn't want to do. So he had to endure Sam's pleading glances and attempts to speak with him. Finally he just had to stop him and reiterate all he had said the night before, reassuring him that he would consider continuing a friendship with him. Only if he got rid of any romantic ideas concerning the two of them. After glee, his day thankfully went by much faster and he managed to avoid Sam for the rest of the day. While he sat in his last class, he was practically holding his breath, watching the seconds tick by. When the final bell rang he jumped up, grabbed his bag and was outta there faster than you could say "hello designers." He was almost to his car when Karofsky stepped in front of him.
"Where do you think you're going homo?"
"Away from you," Kurt said as he made to walk around the oaf in front of him.
"Not so fast," he said while advancing on Kurt, who expertly ducked out of the neanderthal's way and ran the few feet to his navigator.
Kurt got in his car, started it and was heading away from the school before his heart stopped pounding so hard. He headed to the garage so he could say goodbye to his dad and listen to lectures about being safe. He thinks Carole has been talking to Burt because he seems to no longer think his son will never have sex. Hence embarrassing (one sided) conversation that Kurt mostly doesn't listen to. That out of the way, he got back into his car and pulled out his phone to text Noah that he was leaving. Then he started the car and was on his way.
Puck
When Friday finally arrived, I was so freakishly happy that I was almost ashamed, so not badass. When the last bell sounded, I found myself rushing to get to my truck. I got to my locker and realized that I was being ridiculous cause he wouldn't be here for at least a few hours. I tried to calm myself down as I grabbed my stuff and headed out to the parking lot. I started focusing on figuring out what I could do until Kurt got here. I was so in my head that I didn't notice that Heather was waiting for me outside my truck.
"Hi Puck!" She waved at me and gave me that sickly-sweet smile that I have come to know as her "I want something face."
"Heather, what's up?"
She stepped up so that she was right in front of me and placed a hand on my arm. "My car is in the shop. My mom gave me a ride to school, but she can't pick me up, so… I was hoping that I could get a ride home from you."
"You know I have plans, right?"
"Yeah, but that won't be until later, your date lives in Lima, she won't be here for a couple hours at least. My place is only a ten minute drive from here." She actually gave me puppy dog eyes complete with a bat or two.
"Fine, but I'm not going into your house or anything like that."
"Why would you say that if you weren't thinking of doing just that?"
"Because I know people like you." Really, the more I got to know her she was proving to be a Rachel, Santana hybrid. "I wouldn't put it past you to still try to date me even though you know I'm taken."
"Puck, really I'm shocked!"
"Oh shut up and get in the truck." Just as I said that I felt my pocket vibrate. I pulled out my phone and saw that Kurt had texted me.
On my way baby!
I smiled so damn big when I typed in my response that of course Heather noticed.
"A message from the girlfriend?" She smiled all coyly at me, yeah like I believe that.
"Yeah, about that-" but I couldn't finish cause she was just suddenly climbing into the truck.
So I got in myself and she immediately snatched my ipod out of my hand before I could hook it up. "What are you doing?"
"You can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to and I want to know more about you. You're very guarded you know."
I tried to get the music player from her, but she was too fast. "Did you ever think that maybe I'm guarded because I don't want people to know me really?"
She wasn't even listening anymore and I was getting pissed. But before I could say anything she squealed. "You have Gaga? Oh my god, and Sara Mclaughlin!"
"That isn't mine, dammit Kurt!"
"Wait, who's Kurt?"
"Kurt is the person I'm seeing tonight, and all weekend. He's my boyfriend."
"Oh!" she whispered, deflating a bit.
The cab of my truck suddenly became uncomfortably silent. "If you have a problem with that, then I can just let you out here. We can't be far from your place."
"No, its, that isn't it. I just, wait, you're gay? That kinda blows my mind!"
"Well, yeah, mostly gay anyway." I could feel her staring at me and it was unnerving. "Would you stop staring at me? And where are we going, your place should be right around here, right?"
"Oh… uh…Yeah, right up here, the third house on the right."
I pulled over and she went about gathering her things. "Hey, Heather?"
"Yeah," she said as she looked up at me.
"Can we keep this between us? I mean I want to be the one who comes out, ya know? Plus I'm still trying to assess how cool the kids at school are."
"No problem Puck, your secret is safe with me!" She smiled that ridiculous smile, then hopped out of my truck. "Thanks!" She called just before shutting the door and running up to her house.
I headed back home (it still feels kinda weird to think of Isa's place as home) and decided on the way that I would lift weights in the exercise room. It was the perfect thing to pass the time until Kurt showed up. It turns out that Heather lives pretty close to me so I was home within seven minutes. I went straight to my room to change, then texted Kurt to let him know to text me when he got here so I could go let him in. I made my way to the exercise room which is pretty minimal, I mean she ain't rich. The room consists of two treadmills, two stair machines, a weight bench and a rack of free weights. I sat on the bench and decided to start with the free weights. Before getting started I put my phone on the bench behind me after starting my favorite mix of hip-hop, rock and rap on its built in mp3 player.
About an hour later my muscles were all screaming at me so I decided a shower was in order. I stopped by my room to get a change of clothes then went to the bathroom, turned on the shower, undressed then got in. The hot water felt do damn good on my sore tired muscles. It felt so good that I stayed in the shower until the water started to turn cold, which is a long time in an apartment. I got out and immediately heard someone else in the apartment.
"Isa, is that you?" I called out while opening the door and looking down the hall. What I saw had me rushing out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel. "Kurt! What the hell, you didn't call or text, did you, how did you get in here?" I made it to him and grabbed him, pulling him into a feverish hug.
"Whoa, down boy! Isa let me in. She had just come by to grab something right when I pulled up. That's why I didn't call or text. When we heard the shower I just decided to let you finish. Cause if you had just gotten into the shower, then you must have been working out for a long time. I wanted to make sure you were nice and clean." He smiled at me before pulling me into a kiss. When the kiss broke, he stepped away. "I have something for you." He walked over by the couch and I suddenly noticed that there was a guitar there. He pulled it out of the case and slung the strap around his shoulders, then began tuning it. "You know, you were right about Sam. He came on to me last night. But I assure you, I told him off in a serious way. He had been giving me secret guitar lessons."
"What? Why? Baby you know if you just asked I would teach out."
"I know that honey, but if you taught me, then this wouldn't be quite as exciting."
He began to play and I immediately recognized the song. He stumbled over the opening slightly, but it was pretty good for someone as new as he was to playing. I know I had a stupid grin on my face, I couldn't help it. He continued to play, then started singing.
I cant wait to get you on your own and dive into that skin
I love hanging off your every arm you can tell by my grin
I cant wait to get your clothes off and explore what I call mine
I'll introduce you to my friends and family I'll make them genuflect to my shrine
Don't speak, don't act any other way Just do it like I told you to, just say…
I could see that the playing was getting difficult for him. So I grabbed my guitar which thankfully I had left in the living room last night. I smiled at him to let him know how mushy I was feeling, then looked a question at him. He nodded then I started playing with him.
I'm gonna be a faithful lover
I'll live up to every task you ask of me
I'll be the daughter or the son that you never had you'll see
I'm gonna stand beside my loved one till death deletes our time
Even if you decide to fuck me over in one or two years time
He stopped playing and set his guitar down without missing a beat, continuing to sing.
I cant wait to rush into whatever and devote to the unknown
Slap that sticker upon my head saying 'My! How I've grown!
I cant wait to feel those multiples that I've heard so much about
I'm pretty sure that you can satisfy me inside as well as out
He started slowly walking toward my while unbuttoning his shirt as he did.
Don't stall, don't try and be something that you're not
Just bask in all the beauty that you've got
I'm gonna be a faithful lover
I'll live up to every task you ask of me
I'll be the daughter or the son that you never had
you'll see I'm gonna stand beside my loved one till death deletes our time
Even if you decide to fuck me over in one or two years time
He stopped just in front of me, his shirt forgotten on the floor. I started singing with him and I'm pretty sure he started undoing his pants.
I can't wait, I can't, I can't, I can't uh uh uh uh, I cant wait, I can't
I can't wait…
You might call me impatient but I can't wait oh I just can't wait
For a cold dark winter evening when I get home really late
I can't wait for you to tear at my testosterone all night
I'm willing and able and naked on the table baby lets make love tonight!
I let him sing that last line himself, then sang the last bit with him, not taking my gaze away from his eyes, even though I part of me really wanted to.
Don't speak, don't act any other way
Just do it like I told you to, just say
I'm gonna be a faithful lover
I'll live up to every task you ask of me
I'll be the daughter or the son that you never had
you'll see I'm gonna stand beside my loved one till death deletes our time
Even if you decide to fuck me over in one or two years time
The song was over, I stopped playing and looked down. My boyfriend was standing in front of me stark naked. I carefully but quickly discarded my instrument and pulled him to me, kissing him like the world would end if I didn't. When I pulled away I stooped down, keeping one hand on his hip while I grabbed his pants. Then I stood back up, lifted him and headed for my bedroom.
Reviews make me like super gay (you know, like happy I'm pretty sure its impossible for me to be any gayer in the sexuallity sense lol)
