Benefits of a Tragedy

"You don't have to be my bodyguard anymore."

Puck chuckles before tossing an arm around the smaller boys shoulders and leading him through the hallways.

"Think of it as . . . precautionary."

"Big word." Kurt teases.

Puck shrugs. "Some of the jocks aren't that smart and still might try something. So I'm here as a bonus to your day. A big bonus I might add." Puck winks at him.

Kurt rolls his eyes and pulls away from Puck to open his locker. "You know, one of these days, you're going to say the wrong thing to the wrong person and get raped or something."

"I can take 'em. I mean, have you seen my guns?" Puck pulls his shirt sleeves up his arms and flex.

Kurt ignores him and slams his locker shut. Puck throws his arm around Kurt's shoulder again.

"So for the next few days, you're my little project. A chance to be kinder to the world." Puck explains.

"Great." Kurt replies sarcastically. "What did I do to deserve this honor?"

They step into the choir room. "Seriously. Can't I get you to find someone else?"

"No can do." Puck answers as they sit down in the empty room. "Santana's orders."

Kurt lets out a groan. "Come on. Can't I get Sam or something. We're at least friends."

Puck frowns. "Kurt. Do you think that I would spend the night at any guys house. Or . . . get stuck in the back of the car with one. Or put my arm on you. I'm trying to be a friend. I thought that we were becoming . . . closer." Puck gulps and stands up. "I guess I was wrong."

"Puck." Kurt calls out as Puck starts walking away. "I'm . . . I'm sorry." Puck turns to look at him. "Sam's just the first guy that hasn't been nervous around me. I'm more comfortable around him, but . . . I do want to try . . . with you. I need new guy friends."Kurt admits.

Puck's frown turns into a huge smile. He runs up to Kurt and pulls the smaller boy into a hug. Kurt lets out a squeak before relaxing into the hug.

"I got a new friend." Puck smiles. "I got a new friend. Can you guess who it is?"

Kurt rolls his eyes and pulls back from the hug. "You're worse than a kid in a candy store."

Puck ignores him and pulls Kurt into their seats. He drags an arm over Kurt's shoulders again.

"You're stuck with me now. Now we have to get you to come to guys night instead of girls night."

"But I like-"

"You'll enjoy guys night. Video games and food. Pranking Finn and more food. For me. Please" Puck puts into his puppy dog eyes and best pout.

Kurt laughs at before nodding. "Alright. Alright I'll go."

"Yay." Puck smiles.

Kurt rolls his eyes as the room starts filling up. Sam smiles and takes a seat next to him. Kurt watches Mercedes sit by Tina. Santana takes a seat behind Kurt.

"Everything go okay today?" Finn asks as he approaches the boys.

Kurt nods. "Puck has been my bodyguard for the last few classes."

Puck smirks. "I do my best."

Finn smiles and sits down by his next friend. Kurt's lap is suddenly filled by Brittany.

"Hello."

"Hey Kurtie. How are you doing today?" She asks with a smile.

"Great." Kurt answers.

Brittany smiles before turning to Sam. "And how are you today Sammy?"

"I'm great Brittany." Sam answers as he leans up to kiss Brittany on the cheek. "And how are you?"

"Great. I had a sucker earlier."

"That's great." Sam smiles. "And I forgot to ask you earlier, but how is Lord Tubbington?"

Brittany scrambles off of Kurt's lap and onto Sam's lap. "He asks about you? Always the same question though."

Kurt and Sam cock their heads.

"What is that Brit?" Sam asks.

"He keeps asking about when you're going to be a dolphin. He's really curious." Brittany says with a straight face.

Kurt chuckles. "Brit-"

Sam holds a hand up. He smirks at Kurt before leaning up to whisper in Brittany's ear.

Kurt looks at Puck. He looks as confused as Kurt does. Kurt arches an eyebrow as he looks back at Sam and Brittany.

Brittany's smile is wide as Sam pulls back. She places a finger to her mouth.

"Shh." She hops off Sam's lap and goes to sit by Santana behind them.

"What was that?" Kurt asks curiously. "What did you tell her?"

Sam smirks. "Nothing. Nothing at all."

Kurt raises an eyebrow but doesn't say anything as Mr. Shue walks in.

"Alright guys . . ." Kurt slowly drifts out of focus.

He feels a tap on his shoulder. He turns around to see Santana leaning towards him.

"Was Puck good to you today?" She asks quietly.

Kurt rolls his eyes. "Yes. He's been with me since lunch. A little annoying, but it's okay. Finn's worse." He chuckles when Santana nods in agreement. "He even invited me to guys night."

Santana smiles. "Good. I was hoping he would. I guess you proved that you're good enough to hang with the guys."

Kurt nods before turning to face his teacher.

So what do you think? There will be a guys night soon. Lots of broments. And what do you think Sam told Brittany? I decided to add some new mystery. I hope you enjoy. Please leave a long review and criticize everything.
