Summary: Puck has been keeping a secret from his boyfriend. From everyone of his friends actually. It takes a fight between the couple for Kurt to realise what's wrong.
5 years later.
The whole old Glee club, plus mr. Schuester, were sitting in the Puckermans living room, waiting for Kurt and Puck to get back from the hospital.
The last time he would need a full check-up before he woulde be sentenced completely cured.
The tension was cutting through the air,almost nobody spoke, all anxiously waiting for the boys' return.
Sarah Puckerman was sitting on her mother's lap, looking at the doorway, willing her brother and his boyfriend to walk through it right now.
Both mother and daughter were one ball of anxiety.
It's almost 2 hours later when they finally hear a car stop in thhe driveway and they all perk up, staring at the doorway like Sarah.
Kurt and Puck walk inside the living room together, holding hands, their faces completely unreadable except for their downcast eyes and the tear stains on their cheeks.
Nobody says anything, all holding their breath. All expecting the worst.
It's Santana who finally stands up and goes to stand in front of the two boys.
"Puck?" she asks quietly and that's what does it for the two boys.
They share glance, then a wide smile breaks out on both of their faces.
"The cancer's gone," Puck says happily, tears in the corners of his eyes, "I'm cured."
Cheers break out in the silent room, while Santana falls into Puck's arms.
The others join her and they all envelop Puck in a group hug.
When they pull apart, mr. Schuester pours himself a drink then heaves the glass up to the sky.
"Let the party begin!"
-..-
After the party, when all the guests are gone, Kurt helps Julie Puckerman clean up the living room while Puck watches T.V. with his sister.
Sarah has suffered a lot, not seeing her brother for so long and then Puck moving out to rent an appartment with Kurt while they both went to college.
They both had work too because they didn't want to be dependent on their parents, although they did shove the some money in their hands once in a while.
Kurt just has to smile when he sees Sarah curled up inside Puck's arms and wants to take a picture.
Puck's mother is faster than him though and Puck makes a face at her. There had already been taken too many pictures that day.
His mother didn't care though. She said it were memories for later.
A reminder of a very happy day.
The doctor said that Puck was in remission and that the coming back of the cancer would be unlikely.
They didn't want to think about the possibility of it coming back now though. This was supposed to be a happy time, so they were gonna make the most of it.
They finally said goodbye to Sarah and Julie, then jumped into Kurt's car and drove back to their apartment.
Puck's hand was resting on Kurt's thigh, stroking a little bit sometimes, until Kurt told him to stop it because he had to pay attention to the road.
Puck's hand stayed on it's spot, but he didn't tease. Kurt smiled the whole ride and Puck had a matching smile on his own face as well.
When they arrive home, Puck settles himself down on the loveseat after putting a DVD in the player while Kurt is making popcorn and getting them something to drink in the kitchen.
When Kurt takes his place beside him, snuggled up to him, the bowl of popcorn between Puck's legs and the glasses on the coffee table, Puck presses play on the remote for the DVD-player and they both watch the screen.
It only takes a good ten minutes into the movie when they start making out, the images on the screen already forgotten.
Puck's hand is carding through Kurt's hair, while one of Kurt's hands is on Puck's scalp, lightly tracing his fingers over the scar.
Kurt, who's lying underneath Puck, thrusts his hips up, which gets a groan out of his boyfriend's mouth.
"Bedroom." Puck growls, then moves to stand up from the couch, careful to take Kurt with him.
Kurt wraps his legs around his boyfriend's waist and let himself be carried upstairs and into the bedroom where he gets plopped down onto the bed.
Their clothes are off in absolutely no time at all and soon enough they're a tangled, sweaty mess.
Now their true party has started.
-..-
Puck makes love to Kurt...Three times before they clean each other up and snuggle up against each other as close as they can.
Kurt smiles as he thinks about his boyfriend. Hiding behind all of his badass-ness, is just a big teddy-bear with a huge heart of gold.
Puck matches his smile, closes his eyes and gives Kurt one last peck, before he whispers;
" 'Night Princess."
"Goodnight, Noah." Kurt whispers back.
Then they both fall asleep, still with matching smiles on their faces.
Dreaming about their happy ending after all.
