Italics = Thoughts
"Noah get up already."A small voice said as the bedroom door closed and small footsteps could be heard walking over to the bed. "I'm hungry and there's no milk left for cereal." She said in vain as her brother didn't budge from his position on the bed." So you need to get up and cook me breakfast." His little sister said in between coughs as she pated down on jocks back.
Waking up to a sick kid coughing and trying to wake you up was not how Noah wanted to get up. But it was better than waking up with a hangover and he would take sick kid over hangover any day, but right now he didn't have any motivation to budge.
A groan could be heard as the jock buried his face deeper into his pillow. It was way too early for him to even be thinking about getting up. He shrugged her hand off as she placed it on his back and he rolled over facing the opposite direction from her.
Emily huffed and crossed her arms." Fine then I'll just call Kurt and get him to come over. He'll cook me breakfast since he loves me."She said as he spotted her brothers phone lying on the small table beside the alarm clock that was blinking 8:54 a.m.
Emily was never to touch her brother's phone for no reason what so ever. When he first got it he showed it to her and told her, only once, that she was not to touch it no matter what sound it made.
Picking up the small red phone she started to click buttons going through his contacts. She didn't know Kurt's number, but she knew how to go to the contacts in her mother's phone to call Noah.
Each button she pressed made a sound and when she scrolled through the contacts it made another sound when it highlights a name." You have so many people in your phone." She said as she made it to the K when the phone was snatched from her hands.
"Fine I'm getting up." He said sitting up and stretching. He rubbed the back of his head as he let out a big yawn." Just go sit on the couch or something while I make you scrambled eggs." He said reaching over the side and picking up a shirt.
"Ok." She said with a big smile as she skipped out of the bedroom and into the living room. A few moments later Hannah Montana could be heard playing and all Noah could sigh as he knew he would be listening to that for the rest of the day.
Noah groaned as he slide his feet out from under his covers. He looked down at his phone and was a little surprised at what he seen.
Out of all the numbers he had in his phone he figured he would have a lot of names that started with K, but to his surprise he didn't and the number that his sister had been own before he snatched the phone from her was Kurt's.
Smiling he put his phone down on his bed and looked around and spotted a muscle shirt and a pair of pants or were they shorts? Noah could tell that today was going to be a long and uneventful day for him, but in the back of his mind he couldn't help but think it might not be.
Noah was good at a lot of things. He was good at sports, he was good at playing guitar and singing, he was good at picking up girls and older women, but one of those things he wasn't so good at was cooking.
He couldn't even cook the simpler things like grilled cheese or scrambled eggs. One time he tried to boil collard greens for his mother and ended up catching the whole oven on fire.
No one had told him your suppose to add more water when it runs out or that you're not suppose to hand more greens then the pot could handle.
But in the end he always found himself in the same situation of attempting to cook something even if he knew he was going to mess it up like he already had.
Noah scrapped the burnt bits of pancake off the fryer and set it in the sink for later. It looked so much easier when Kurt cooked it last time he ate dinner here. Every time Kurt cooked anything it always looked easy and mouthwatering that Noah was a bit jealous.
Settling on ice cream Noah grabbed it and walked it into the living room where his sister was watching TV.
Emily didn't hesitate or question the older teens concept of the word breakfast as when she opened the carton of cookie dough ice cream she was all smiles." So since you can't cook." She said as she took her first bite." You brought me ice cream?"
Noah nodded and sat back on the couch.
"Why didn't you just call Kurt to come over and cook? He loves to do that sort of thing." She said stuffing her face with ice cream.
"Cause he doesn't want to come over and get sick like you. Besides he probably has plans for something." Noah said as he flipped through a sports magazine.
He rarely ever lied to his sister as he felt that it was something he never wanted her to do when she got older. He was the one who told Kurt that his sister was sick and that he couldn't come over, but he wasn't going to tell her that.
"But all he does is spend time with you." Emily said letting her spoon drop into the half empty carton." You never bring him over to play with me and he promised he would come over a lot more."
Noah just nodded as he continued to read. After what he did yesterday he wouldn't be surprised if Kurt didn't every want to talk to him again.
"Did something go wrong with your date with him?" She asked as she took long breathes to get rid of her sudden brain freeze.
Looking up and over at his sister he wondered what she meant by that." Emily I don't take guys on dates and Kurt's not a girl."
Looking at him she nodded." O so you don't take people you love on dates?"
Noah was a little confused by what she said and in his mind he was wondering why she would say that. "What do you mean?"
"I overheard you and Quinn talking. You said that you can't help it because you love Kurt."
Noah face went red as he looked away. His little sister had heard him talking about Kurt to Quinn. She must have heard every conversation he had with the blond.
Realizing that if his little sister heard him maybe his mom did to, but she never mentioned anything to him about it or asked.
"Well." Emily said snapping Noah out of his thought." Do you like Kurt?"
Looking at her he didn't know what to say." It's complicated."
His little sister rolled her eyes and giggled." Kurt would make a good brother if ya'll date. Quinn said he was real fun to be around."
Nodding Noah smiled and agreed with her on how much fun the soprano was.
It was already dark when the medicine he gave Emily started to kick him and she fell asleep on the couch. He carried her into her room and returned to his own.
He spotted his phone on the bed forgetting he even left it in his room.
Picking it up and clicking a button it light up and revealed a missed call and a voicemail.
They were both from Quinn and the voicemail said to answer the phone. Soon after he hung up the phone started to vibrate and he answered only to hear Quinn yelling at him telling him how worried she was.
"So how did it go? Did you and Kurt kiss yet." She asked sounding so excited about it not even finishing her sentence.
"Yea we did. At the mall in one of those stores he goes to." He heard a loud squeal coming from the phone and giggling soon after.
"What did he think about it?" She asked as the excitement in her voice couldn't be contained any longer.
"He totally rejected me. Like shoot for the basket and just miss it completely."
There was a long pause as the girl was silent on the other end.
"Quinn you there?" He said as no one answered him.
Waiting Noah was about to hang up until he heard his name.
"Puck you still on the phone?" Quinn said.
"Yea." He said as the blond girl clicked some buttons on her phone before speaking again.
"Santana, Brittney you there to?" Looking at the phone Noah wondered if he was still talking to Quinn.
"Yea were here. Why couldn't you come down to the pool where it would've been easier to do this conversation?"
The two started arguing about not wanting to do what the other wanted since this vacation had started.
The Latino huffed and was the one who agreed to just drop it.
"Whatever so Puck has you Hummel done the deed yet." Santana asked. Brittney could be heard in the background asking if they have could she join in next time.
"No and that's none of your business Lopez." She started to laugh and not in a nice way.
"Wow the great Puckzilla got shot down by ole Hummel. I was a little surprised when Quinn told me about this, but I have to give it to Kurt he must have standards or something."The Latino said as she pulled the phone away and yelled at Brittney for running around the edges of the pool.
"Thanks Santana you're a real help." He said as the girl just mumbled something about growing a pair.
"Well you should try again Puck. Maybe he was a little confused at you coming onto him and didn't know what to do."Quinn said as Santana was still yelling at Brittney about poking people sleeping in their chairs.
"I don't know Quinn. It was awkward afterwards because when he asked why I kissed him all I did was tell him I don't know why and then there was like this big elephant on the way back to his house." Santana could be heard laughing on the other end and Brittney asking how an elephant could fit in Puck's truck.
Over the next couple minutes Quinn and Santana spent trying to convince the jock to try again and just tell Kurt the truth, but Noah felt like he couldn't.
Quinn went to say something, but a knocking could be heard over the phone and someone calling the blond by her last name.
"Don't anyone say anything ok. It's Sue." Quinn said as she fumbled with the phone and placed it behind her. A door could be heard slamming open and the other two girls on the phone could be heard snickering.
"Fabray why are you up in this dinky room." Sue said wiping a finger over a small table." and not outside like everyone else having fun? I don't want people to find out I drive you all into the ground with none stop training to be true." Sue Sylvester said as she walked into the room with Becky right behind her.
"Sorry coach I was." A smile formed on the girls face as he she thought of a way to help her delinquent friend." I was just thinking over a problem I have now."
Everyone went silent over the phone except for the Latino and blond girl sitting besides her asking about her problem.
"Q you know how much I hate helping and being nice, but if it will get people to stop spreading these facts about my training methods and you getting out of this room then I will attempt to help you."
Silence filled the room as Quinn weaved the lie she was telling the cheerleading coach. She managed to tell her everything that has happened between Puck and Kurt, but used her name and some random guys' name she made up.
"So you see Coach I kissed the guy, but he didn't react the way I wanted him to. He just questioned it and it felt awkward afterwards. What should I do?" The blond girl asked as the Coach paced back and forth.
"Well Q the problem is you're a chicken puss. Grow some lady balls and get back on the saddle. Confront this "guy" and tell him how you feel about him and if he doesn't listen well you can do what ole Sue does."
Noah could hear Brittney whispering to Santana and telling her about the time Coach Sylvester made her eat some strange things because she said it would improve her cheering.
"Thanks Coach." The blond girl said as the older women just waved it off and walked out of the room yelling at Becky to chase after that maid cart because she need towels and toilet paper for her home.
The conversation went silent as Quinn announced she was still on the phone.
"See Puck you should just try again. Coach may seem like a total bitch, but her advice always works." Quinn said as Santana agreed with her.
There was no answer from the jock and the two girls called out his name. Finally fumbling could be heard and Santana yelling at Brittney to let go and finally the ditsy girl started in the conversation.
"Puck listen Kurt is stubborn person. You have to keep at him until he finally gives in. When were pretending dating it took me two days to convenience him to finally kiss me. It was hard at first but I told him I just kissed a guy and he agreed to kiss me."
Quinn couldn't help, but smile as Santana was shaking her head. Noah knew how stubborn the boy was and knew she was right. Kurt did have feeling for him, but was just scared to saying anything like he was scared to admit he liked him.
After a long pause a smile formed on the jocks lips as he knew what he should do now." Thanks you guys. I think I know what I'm going to do now." The girls all said their goodbyes except for Santana who just called him an idiot for waiting so long.
Setting his phone down he looked over at the clock on his nightstand. It was a little after nine and he knew his mom wouldn't be home for awhile, but when she did get home he was going straight to Kurt's and going to talk to him his feelings for him.
Lying back on the bed it didn't take long before sleep overtook the jock and he drifted to sleep. He started to dream of how Kurt would react to him confessing to him and he almost wished it was what would happen.
Noah woke up to someone calling his name and he slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes.
His mother was standing in his doorway. She was smiling as she flipped the lights on and Noah forced his eyes to close and soon they adjust to the sudden lights.
Noah said a few cuss words under his breath as his mother told him she was home and walked out of his room.
Looking over at the clock he noticed it was 11:30 and was surprised he slept so long.
Remembering the promise he made to himself Noah got up and walked out of his room.
Telling his mom where he was going she fussed about it being late, but he didn't listen as he slipped on some flip flops and was out the door.
Driving down the road Noah pulled his phone out after he realized that it was pretty late and didn't want to drive over if Kurt was asleep.
When went to press send his low battery icon flashed and his phone turned off. Throwing it down on the seat Noah cussed and kept driving down the road.
Pulling in at the gas station a few block away from the Hummel-Hudson residence Noah got out to get gas. After going inside to pay and coming out and pumping his gas he got back in and tried to crank it.
The key turned over and it could be heard trying to crank and then dying down. He tried this a few more times until he was convinced that it wasn't going to crank.
Getting out he started walking towards Kurt's house.
On the way there he thought about every possible way he could tell Kurt. He never had to tell anyone that he loved them except him mom and sister, but telling Kurt that he loved him was something that life hadn't prepared him for.
Walking around a corner Noah could see Kurt's navigator in his driveway and a smile formed on his face as he was almost there.
He started to jog until a barking noise could be heard and looking the only thing he seen was Mr. Neel's English bulldog. Noah tried to calm it down by talking to it like a baby until it barked a few more times and the jock took off running.
Running in flip flops was a difficult task for the jock as he would have to stop and grab his shoe again and run some more, but by the time he ran onto the Hummel-Hudson lawn the dog had given up and turned around to head back to its home.
Panting Noah stopped by a tree in the yard to catch his breath. He should have just lost all the weight he might've gained over the summer from eating with Kurt and his family.
Looking up at the dark and empty looking house he had second thoughts about turning around, but looking down the road towards Mr. Neel's house his dog looked ready for round two.
Breathing heavy Noah walked up to the front porch and hesitated to knock on the door, but his body knew what it wanted and before he knew it he was knocking on the door.
A few moment of knocking he could heard the door being unlock and he stopped. The door slowly opened to Kurt, half asleep, looking up at him.
"Noah why are you breathing so heavy?" Was all the boy could say as he let the jock come in and closed the door behind him.
"My truck broke down by the store a few blocks away and my phone died so I walked here until I got to Mr. Neel's house and his dog started to chase me." He said and every other word he took a deep breath and let it out.
Kurt giggled at the thought of the big bad Noah running away from a small dog.
"Well what are you doing here? It's late Noah." The soprano said leading him into the living room where Gilmore girls had came on.
Noah sat down on the couch and patted his chest a few times and got his breathing under control. Take a deep breath he got what he wanted to say on his mind.
"I want to talk to you about something." Noah said with doubt in his voice. He make it come out like he didn't want to say anything.
Kurt raised an eyebrow and "Talk about what, Noah?"
Noah turned and faced Kurt, not looking at him but towards the TV. He had a blush on his face and it made Kurt curiosity grow.
"I want to talk about the other day and what happened between us." Noah said calmly as he watched the facial expression on Kurt's face change drasticly from confused to down right terrified.
Why would he be so scarred about what happened the other day in the mall or did something happen when he got drunk? Noah thought as his head started to throb from remembering how much he drank that night and images started to appear afterwards.
