This one's for kittendragon, who kept pestering me for this song! ;-) Kidding, it always a joy to hear from you! I'm not sure if it's what either of us wanted, but hope you enjoy nonetheless... now that I've listened to the song like 8 times, in a row...
04 Crossfire – Brandon Flowers
Kurt pulled on the loose sleep pants as Puck watched from the doorway. The storm outside forgotten as Kurt flicked off the overhead light, leaving the room bathed in the light from the lamp by the bed.
'Why didn't you tell anyone?' Puck asked, he had come over under the guise of playing video games with Finn, but he had just wanted to talk to Kurt, alone.
Kurt whirled around, clutching a stuffed dragon to his chest, only to cry out in surprise when thunder boomed in the sky. The damn thunderstorms had been on and off for a week and they were starting to rattle Puck, it was like they were caught in the crossfire of some epic battle.
'I have no idea what you're talking about Noah,' Kurt replied, hastily shoving the dragon under the pillow.
It only took a few long strides for Puck to reach Kurt, and he pulled him into his arms, 'I saw what Jerkofsky did to you today. I heard what he said. I called my uncle, he's a cop. Just say the word and they can come down on him like holy hellfire.'
Kurt didn't reply, his voice was caught in this throat, he simply leaned against the bigger teen, letting him hold him.
'Holy hellfire?' he finally spoke, his lips twitching in amusement.
Puck shrugged, 'whatever, look the point is that I want to help you, I want to protect you, but you won't let anyone in. We know what we're getting into. It's Karofsky, he's big but that doesn't mean the guy could fight his way out of a wet paper bag with scissors and a map.'
Kurt studied Puck for a long time, not moving from his arms, finally he sighed and nodded, 'bring the holy hellfire.'
'You won't regret this, Jerkofsky might, but you won't,' Puck grinned before giving Kurt a quick kiss to the lips. 'Now come on, I know you can't sleep when there's a thunderstorm,' Puck pulled Kurt onto the bed and into his arms.
When Kurt was asleep, he tucked the dragon into his arms, and headed up to talk to Finn. He would yell at the other teen, who was supposed to be the one defending Kurt, before reigning hell on Karofsky.
Watching you dress as you turn down the lights
I forget all about the storm outside
Dark clouds roll their way over town
Heartache and pain came a-pouring down
Like hail, sleet and rain, yeah, they're handing it out
Still taking requests for the next round, and I'm working on the prompt stuff... I've just had some computer issues again... :-S
