A/N: Just wanna share to you one of my favorite lines from a song.

"When I fall in love, I take my time. There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind. You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why."

The Remedy – Jason Mraz

Chapter 13:

Kurt's eyes drooped sadly when they landed on Puck. He quickly run towards him and shared his umbrella. Puck was soaked to the bone and his black v-neck shirt clung to him obscenely. Kurt could see the trembling of Puck's lips and he could almost hear the chattering of his teeth.

"You came." Puck said hoarsely then he coughed violently. Puck bent down and put his hands on his knees while he coughed. Kurt rubbed Puck's back in a soothing circle.

"How long have you been waiting here?" Kurt asked softly despite the fast beating of his heart. He couldn't believe it. Puck actually waited for him. A smile started to form on his face and he couldn't help the fluttering feeling in his stomach. Suddenly, Puck stopped his coughing fit and he stood up straight, completely facing him.

"Doesn't matter." Puck answered. Kurt was disappointed with Puck's answer but he knew better than to push it, instead, he just asked why the hell he didn't look for a place to shield himself from the rain. "Well, I don't want you to miss looking for me, you might think I stood you up again."

"You moron, you might get sick." Kurt said as he gestured for Puck to hold the umbrella. When Puck was already holding it, Kurt draped the jacket around Puck's shoulders.

"Thanks." Puck muttered softly as he stepped closer to Kurt then slid his free arm around Kurt's waist and buried his face at the crook of Kurt's neck. "Thanks for coming here." He said in a muffled voice. Kurt felt the warm breath of Puck on his exposed neck and he felt goose bumps all over himself. No matter how hard he tried to deny it, Puck really has an effect on him.

Kurt felt awkward with their position and Puck's wet state didn't help either but it was surprisingly comfortable. He automatically wrapped his arms around Puck's neck then he shivered when he felt Puck planted a soft kiss on the side of his neck.

"Puck, you're hot." Kurt said as he tried not to get turned on from Puck's kiss.

Puck chuckled softly. "I know."

Kurt pulled away. "Silly. You're hot literally. I think you have a fever." Puck stared at him with those seductive hazel eyes and blood slowly crept on his face. Damn, he was such an easy blusher. "C'mon, let's get you home and don't look at me like that."

Puck smiled at him. "I just can't believe you are really here. Well, after all I have done to you, I really didn't expect you to show up." Then Kurt watched as Puck dug something from his jeans pocket. When Puck extracted out his hand, he was holding his silver band. "Wear this again please?"

Kurt swallowed hard as he stared at the ring. Should he? Would he be able to trust Puck again?

"I..well." Kurt trailed off as Puck's face fell. Truth be told, Kurt was scared to trust Puck. Puck's been on and off with him to begin with.

"Well I understand. You still need time to think it over." Puck muttered as he pocketed the ring again. "Cameron might be worried, you should go back there." Puck added as he took off the jacket from his shoulders and handed it back to Kurt.

"Thanks again for coming Kurt. It made my day." Puck said one last time as he turned around and started to walk away from him. Kurt really wanted to call him back and assure him that everything would be alright between the two of them but something must have held his power of speech because all he could do was to stare at Puck's retreating back as rain pelted heavily on it.

OoOoOo

When Kurt walked in his Calculus class, he immediately spotted Puck hunched over on his desk and he felt panic rose to his chest. He completely forgot that this was the one class he shared with Puck and now he was completely off-guard. It was a good thing that Puck's head was bent down so he immediately navigated his way to his seat without the risk of Puck seeing him. He had a clear view of Puck's back from his position.

Honestly, he didn't know how to deal with Puck right now judging from the epic fail of their meeting yesterday. But he knew that there was a huge possibility that Puck might have gotten the idea that he was no longer interested in staying with him in their forced marriage. He still had yet to talk with his dad about the arrangement but Mr. Hummel was currently out of the country on an indefinite time. This would give Kurt time to think about his situation with Puck, if he would still give him a chance or not. But every time Kurt thought about being separated with Puck, he felt a painful tugging in his chest. Call him crazy or stupid but Puck has an effect on him in a way that was unfathomable.

He then glanced at his watch. Five more minutes and their class would start. Suddenly, Kurt watched as Puck stood up from his desk and tried to walk and Kurt's hand flew to his mouth when Puck fell down on the marbled floor. Some of his fellow students swarmed over Puck and he didn't waste any time and immediately run for Puck.

"Excuse me please. " He said through gritted teeth as he pushed a blonde girl out of the way and dropped down to the floor next to Puck's unconscious body. Kurt cradled Puck's head on his lap and when his hand made contact to Puck's skin, he felt like he was burned. Puck has a high fever judging from the heat coming from him.

"Puck, can you hear me?" Kurt said as he tapped the side of Puck's face gently. Puck's eyelids slowly fluttered open. I knew it, I knew it. He's going to be sick. Kurt thought as he shrugged off his sweater and placed it over Puck's chest.

"Kurt. Hey." Puck said hoarsely as he slowly sat up. "What's happening?" He asked as he eyes darted around the room then he coughed violently.

Kurt wrapped a slender arm around Puck's shoulder as he tried to calm the taller guy.

"We're going home." Kurt decided as he helped Puck to his feet. "You shouldn't have come to class in your condition."

"We have an important quiz today." Puck answered in a weak tone and he coughed again.

Kurt scoffed. Screw that Calculus quiz. He would just have to talk with to professor to give them a special one. Puck's health was more important so he grabbed Puck's clammy hands and together they left the room.

OoOoOo

"This is my fault." Kurt said as he spooned the chicken soup he made for Puck and slowly brought it to Puck's waiting mouth. Puck was lying down on his bed with tons of blanket on him and Kurt was sitting on his side, feeding him with chicken soup.

Puck scrunched his forehead. "This is not your fault okay? I'm just too stubborn."

Still, Kurt was guilty for not following Puck last night because if he had, he would have known that Puck has a fever and he could take care of him but instead, he went back to Cameron, watched a movie and ate popcorn like nothing happened.

"I've been an asshole to you so I understand why you chose not to be with me." Puck said and Kurt could feel the sadness in them. Then realization hit him, Puck thought that he chose Cameron over him and he knew Puck was letting him go. Kurt suddenly felt really sad. "If you want to be with Cameron, I understand, I just came to realize that I have been selfish for wanting you when I still have Quinn. It's not fair for the both of you."

Kurt's heart made a somersault when he heard Puck said that he wanted him. Was Puck saying all of these because of the cough and fever medicine Kurt gave him earlier?

"You…you want me?" Kurt asked as his heart started to beat rapidly against his chest.

"The night you gave yourself to me. Never wanted anyone else after that." Puck said. "I know it sounded bull but that's what I feel. I don't expect you to believe me, I mean why would you?" He added as he slowly closed his eyes as the medicines finally took its course.

Kurt was certain he was going to explode with emotions when he heard Puck's answer. He really wanted to believe Puck. He really wanted to but he was still scared but then, what did that song say?

When we run, when we hide, we deny, what's inside.

What good is a heart if you're not gonna use it? What good is a love if you're too scared to choose it? If you're heart is beating then it's for a reason..If you're not even willing to start, what good is a heart?

"Hey." Kurt called softly and Puck slowly opened his eyes and looked at him then Kurt slowly leaned down and cupped Puck's face and gave him a slow sweet kiss.

"I believe you Noah Puckerman."
