Chapter 28:
"So Kurt's gone too."
"Yes, you asked me to tell you if I had news from Noah, I thought you would like to know about that." Burt explained.
"Thanks a lot I appreciate what you did." Mrs Puckerman said. "Can I ask you a question ?" Burt nodded. "In the letter Kurt says something like 'now that you know where we stand'. What does he mean by that ?"
"Oh Puck didn't tell you ?" The woman shook her head. Burt felt embarrassed now. " Well I don't know if it's my place to tell you about that."
"Please Mr Hummel it can't be more terrible than what happened to my son."
"No it's not terrible at all. It's just embarrassing of a thing to say."
"I have barely talked to my son while he was there I'd just like to know if there's something I should worry about."
"Well, our sons are together. Like boyfriends you know. I ran into them at hospital and saw them kissing." Burt blinked at Mrs Puckerman's reaction. It was the last he expected. She smiled proudly.
" I'm so glad they finally found each other."
"What do you mean by 'finally' ? You have no problem with your son being gay ?"
"Oh please Burt, you must have seen the way Noah looked at Kurt, it was so tender, I didn't know my son was able to have tender feelings towards a person. I just feared that he didn't face them and never admit it to Kurt. I'm so happy to know that they finally have each other." Burt hadn't seen her that happy since he had met her.
"You look like you're not surprised in the slightest, your son is not exactly the type of men you'd say they are homosexual." Burt tried to understand, he had almost always known that Kurt was gay but the Puckerman kid was really unlike his son.
" I know my son and I already suspected something when he ran after Kurt. When I read the first letter and saw how they got along I understood that my son really cared about Kurt." She explained.
"He seems to be very protective of him when you see what he did to that ex boyfriend Kurt has."
"Yes and Kurt is more than protective of him too, he really looked ready to do anything for Noah not to go back to juvie."
" I had never seen my son shouting like that, I have to admit I was quite proud of him."
"You have no issue with our sons being boyfriends right ? Because I know that Noah is not the kind of boy you'd love to be your son's boyfriend." Mrs Puckerman inquired.
"I have to admit that, in other circumstances I wouldn't have liked the two together at all. But I've seen them together, how they stand up for each other, I don't think they could trust each other more than they already do. Finn told me that when they went to school to see their friends, some brainless jocks had been waiting for Kurt to be alone before picking on him. Apparently Noah stood up for Kurt against his former friends. I think he's really changed."
Puck was lying on his bed, waiting. This had been his main activity for the past two weeks. He knew perfectly well that Kurt wouldn't be back before a long time, his dad had poor health and it wouldn't change in two weeks.
Puck had really felt betrayed by Kurt's decision, he knew the boy and what he was ready to do to help people, but he had given his word they would leave together. And now Puck was alone in San Francisco, more worried than ever. He had intended to go back in Lima to beat the crap out of Karofsky for hurting his boyfriend, but his friends had talked to him into not doing that.
Puck still couldn't believe he had a boyfriend. He had never thought he could be gay or bi. True, he had never found a girl interesting enough to be worth being in a relationship. And it was Kurt. Before going to juvie he had never seen anything in the boy, he was just a gay dude to him and that was all.
During and just after juvie Kurt was his only way to go on and ignore all the crap that was eating him from the inside. But then he wanted to spend all his time with Kurt and it was not only to forget about it, it was because he really liked him, he had grown really attached to the smaller boy.
After that Keith had been the biggest jerk ever and that's when Puck had realized that all he wanted was Kurt to be single, he didn't like the idea of Kurt being with someone else at all. He almost meant it when, at the bar he had told the guy that they were together, it was the same when he had written it in the letters, even if he hadn't admitted it to Kurt. He loved so much to hug him and to sleep with him that it was almost insane.
Puck would have told Kurt that he wanted to be his boyfriend earlier if they hadn't had had to go back to Lima. He would have taken him in a nice place when they would be just the two of them, something romantic like Kurt loved. He had feared Kurt not to want him, to reject him because of what he had done in the past. But Kurt had been clearly hurt when he had refused to kiss him in McKinley, that's what decided Puck to make a move.
Kissing Kurt for the first time in the hospital after being touched everywhere to prove he had been raped was not the most romantic declaration he could have made but he hated when Kurt said he was not his boyfriend. And Kurt had said that it had been perfect.
It was not a question of being gay or bi or straight, it was a question of being with Kurt. All the assholes who didn't see that he was the greatest person on earth were just jealous cowards. Kurt had refused to tell Karofsky that he was his boyfriend, but he wanted so much everyone to know about it. Kurt was the best thing that ever happened to him and he was proud of it.
Here were all the thoughts that circled in Puck's mind ever since he was back in SF.
Puck sighed, he had nothing to do and didn't want to do anything anyway. His life was on hold. It would be so until the end of the trial. He would have to face Max, to tell everything again under Max's gaze. The mere idea of the scene made him want to throw up.
There was the noise of a key in the door. They were all coming back. They were all going to try to cheer him up as they always did. Puck didn't bother moving from his bed. He waited to see them.
However the person he saw was not the one he had expected.
