Chapter 21:

It had been one week since Kurt had last talked to Puck and Puck hated that situation. Okay he had screwed up everything, but it was not a reason for avoiding him like the plague. Puck had been texting the boy tens of times to apologize, he had called him many times too but Kurt had never answered. Puck was still not talking to Finn and didn't hang around anyone anymore since he had only Finn before all of that. Santana had been trying to have him to talk but she was always assuming he was in love with Kurt and shit like that so Puck always ended up ditching her.

"I told your mother we needed to talk so she's leaving us alone for a while." She said once when she had come in his room.

"I'm glad, you have no idea." He said with not an ounce of enthusiasm. "We could, I don't know, have sex instead of talking." He offered to ditch the conversation again.

"Not a chance. Besides, I'm pretty sure you couldn't get it up with all the moping you've been doing." She replied.

"I could totally get it up !" He exclaimed offended.

"I know you could get it up, but I was talking for me, not for Hummel." She stated.

"Go if you wanna talk like that." He muttered.

"I'm not going anywhere, we're having this conversation cause you can't spend your life like that, not talking to anyone, staying alone every time."

"What if I'm happy like this ?" Puck asked.

"If you were happy it would be okay, but since you're not, we gotta talk about it. So, what it is about Hummel ?" She asked.

"Why would it be about Hummel ? Maybe it's about Finn ditching me for Karofsky." Puck suggested.

"Finn's been ditching you long before last week and you were somewhat okay with that." She stated. Puck didn't answer, he turned his head to the side not to face her. "So, I'm right, it's about Hummel." She said in victory. "So what is the damn problem ?"

"I don't know okay ? It's just … I introduced him to my cousin, thinking it would be a good idea for them to talk and stuff. But the bastard immediately made him his boyfriend and I don't think that's a good idea anymore." Puck explained.

"Wasn't it your aim when you introduced them, for them to date ?" She asked.

"I... yeah it was but I don't think Julian's good for him." He explained.

"There's not so many gay guys in Lima, if Julian's not good for him, then who would be ?" She asked.

"I don't know, maybe he shouldn't have a boyfriend." Puck said, that was the conclusion he had come to.

"I think he should have one." She stated.

"Julian's not good for him."

"I'm talking about Julian."

"Then who ?" He asked, fearing she'd know a gay dude and introduce him to Kurt.

"You don't want to hear the answer." She said.

"Whoever is it, don't introduce Kurt to him he doesn't need a boyfriend now okay ?" He told her to make sure.

"They already know each other." She said.

"At least I hope he's better than Julian." He said half heartedly, because if the guy was better than Julian Kurt would be happy with him and Puck didn't really want that.

"He's way better than Julian because he started caring for him before even being attracted to him."

"No one cares about him." Puck replied honestly.

"You're so fuckin' dumb ! I'm talking about you idiot !" She said. Puck felt somewhat relieved by what Santana just admitted. The perfect guy she had described didn't exist, that was a good point.

"Fuck you." He said, not to show how relieved he felt.

"Fuck, you were so anxious !" She exclaimed.

"Sure I was, I told you, he doesn't need a boyfriend right now !" Puck admitted.

"I don't understand. You say you have no feelings for him but you admit that you care for him. You should be happy for him then. But instead of being happy you're jealous."

"I'm not being jealous ! It's just that I'm the one who introduced them and if Kurt gets hurt by Julian he'll take it on me and hate me for that." Puck explained. "I gotta go." He added, taking a decision.

Ten minutes later he was parking his car in front of Kurt's house. Yet, before he went out of it he saw Finn walking up the alley and knocking at the door.

"What the fuck is he doing here ?" Puck muttered angrily. Kurt was the one to open the door, he let Finn in without any question. Puck grabbed his mobile angrily.

WTF is finn doing at your place ? He sent. He hoped Kurt would answer to this. One minute later, Kurt went outside, looking around. Puck went out of his truck, but before he could walk to him, he saw Julian going out of the house as well. He clenched his jaw and kept on walking.

"What the hell Puckerman, are you spying on me ?" Kurt asked when he saw him.

"I came to apologize since you didn't give me any chance to. But I saw Finn going in like it was the most natural thing in the world. So tell me, what the fuck is this ?" He asked again.

"He's here because my dad and Carole are dating again." Kurt explained.

"And your dad lets him in your house after what he told you ?" Puck asked.

"He said that he was ready to give Finn a second chance." Kurt explained.

"Come on Kurt, let's go back in." Julian offered. "You don't need to talk to him, I told you."

"And who do you think you are, Julian ? His lawyer ?" Puck asked.

"His boyfriend. And all I want is for him to be okay." Julian retorted. "Unlike you I'll never hurt him."

"I didn't want to hurt you Kurt. I wanted to protect you and the words were out before I even realized what I was saying." Puck said apologetically.

"I know." Kurt said looking at the floor.

"Happy now ?" Julian asked. "Let's go back in Kurt, your dad is going to worry." He said taking Kurt's hand. Puck could tell that Kurt wasn't really pleased by Julian's affection.

"Kurt can take his own decisions Julian." Puck replied.

"Can you go in Julian ?" Kurt asked. "I'm not going to take long."

"Are you sure ?" Julian asked, looking less than thrilled by the idea of leaving the two alone.

"Yes I am." Kurt replied a little sharply. Julian nodded, kissed Kurt and went back in the house.

"You don't love him do you ?" Puck asked, trying not to look as happy as he truly was.

"You betrayed me Puck." Kurt accused back.

"I know, and I'm really sorry, in case you didn't notice in the fifty three texts I sent you." Puck answered making Kurt chuckle.

"I noticed yes."

"Why don't you break up with him if you can't stand him ?" Puck asked.

"I can stand him." Kurt retorted.

"You wanted to slap him when he took your hand and kissed you." Puck accused him.

"I didn't. It's just that, he can be a little clingy sometimes. Why would you want me to break up with your cousin anyway ?" Kurt asked.

"I don't think it was a good idea to introduce you to each other." Puck admitted.

"Why ?"

"I don't really know." Puck admitted. "The way he forbade you to talk to me, I hated it."

"He didn't forbid me." Kurt said. "But I didn't like it too." He admitted. "But he was kind of true. I should not be hanging around you like that." Puck was totally lost. Kurt had just told him that he wanted to hang around him but that he didn't want to ?

"Why ?" Puck asked, not liking it at all.

"Nothing. It's not important." Kurt shrugged it.

"Yes it's important ! Why would you rather stop hanging around me ? We had a nice time together."

"You don't want to know about it." Kurt said.

"Everyone stop telling me what I want or don't want to know about ! I'm big enough to decide !" He said irritated.

"It's the same reason why I started dating Julian in the first place even though I didn't really like him." Kurt said mysteriously.

"You forced yourself to date Julian ?" Puck asked in disbelief.

"It was not so hard. He was nice and all but a little too much, not my type." Kurt explained. "But I started dating him because I needed to get over something else."

"What thing ? Don't tell me you still have this stupid crush on Finn."

"I'm over Finn. I've been over Finn for a while now. I've been over Finn ever since I started having this new stupid crush." He explained. Puck didn't know why but he was starting to get anxious.

"A crush on who ?" He asked.

"Don't hate me, Puck." Kurt implored.

"Why should I hate you ?" Puck asked.

"The reason why started dating Julian is because I wanted to get over my crush on... on you."

TBC...

A/N: I know the end is like the end of a bad episode of a soap opera, I'm not really proud of it, but a little cliffhanger sometimes is not that bad.

I wanted to thank you all for the amount of reviews I got last night, I was so pleased to read all them you have no idea, I'm working on answering them right now.

Love you all and keep telling me what you think of the chapters !

Ant.
