Chapter 17:

"Puckerman ? What are you doin' here ?" Karofsky asked.

"We need to talk." Puck said clenching his fists at the mere sight of the jock.

"We've got nothing to talk about."

"Listen, either we talk here in front of your family or you come with me and we talk in the forest." Puck said. Karofsky shot a glance behind him where his family was gathered for a family lunch.

"Alright." He said following Puck. They walked in silence Karofsky following Puck. Once in the forest he stopped. "What d'you want Puckerman ? Coming-out ? I know what you did with the fairy."

"You don't call him that !" Puck said. "And yeah we did things in the shed, things he'll never do with you coz' he doesn't give a damn about you." Puck added. Karofsky punched Puck in the face. Instead of punching back Puck grabbed the jock's arm and twisted it on his back, paralyzing him.

"Now you will listen to me. I have no freakin' idea what you did to him and what you threatened him of if he ever denounce you but you're not going away with what you did understand ?" As Karofsky didn't answer, Puck twisted his arm a little more. Even with only one arm he was far stronger than the dumb guy. "Answer."

"Yeah I understand." He said reluctantly.

" I swear if I ever see him in the state he was in yesterday you're dead Karofsky. You scared him so much that he was fuckin' paralyzed ! If it happens again, I don't care what your fuckin' threats are, you'll pay for it."

"You'd better care about the threats." Karofsky smirked. Puck grabbed the back of his head and slammed it against the trunk of the tree.

"You wanna go in the shed for a few days Karofsky ?" Puck asked.

"That's precisely what you should avoid to do, as well as hurting me. If I ever disappear this little queer of yours will suffer." Karofsky smirked again despite his bleeding forehead.

" I swear you're gonna regret ever touching Kurt." Puck shouted slamming his head against the tree again before leaving.

Walking towards his truck, Puck kicked everything that was on his way. What the fuck was that threat that terrified Kurt so much ? There was nothing to be scared of if Karofsky was in jail right ? He was the problem so if he was put out of harm's way, they would live at peace.

Puck drove to Kurt's house since Kurt knew what the problem was, it had made him cry the day before. Kurt never cried but he had looked totally petrified by fear so it was something huge and the boy knew precisely what it was.

"Puck ? What are you doing here ?" Finn asked after opening the door.

"I need to see Kurt."

"He doesn't want to talk to anyone." Rachel stated, Puck hadn't seen her because she was standing behind Finn.

"Yeah man, he won't want to talk to you." Finn added.

"I don't fuckin' care I gotta talk to him." Puck said making his way inside the house. He knew where Kurt's room was since he had fell down the stairs once. Finn and Rachel didn't make any attempt in stopping him, he entered without even knocking at the door and went down the stairs. Kurt was sitting on his bed writing something in his little notebook. He had bruises all over his face and was wearing pajamas. Damn he looks beautiful. Puck thought.

"So you're going to stand there watching me the whole afternoon or are you going to tell me what you're doing here ?" Kurt asked sarcastically. Puck ignored the comment and sat on the bed next to Kurt. He took his shoes off and rested his back on the headboard of the bed. "Make yourself at home." Kurt commented on the same tone.

"Already done." He said and Kurt rolled his eyes.

"Alright." Kurt said slowly. "So you came here to sit on my bed and watch me write stupid things ?"

" I want you to tell me what has Karofsky threatened you of if you ever denounced him." Puck said calmly.

"I thought you had understood that I wasn't going to tell you."

"I had, then I had a little chit-chat with our friend Dave and I realized that even if you don't want to tell me you will." At that statement horror settled on Kurt's face.

"You... You went to talk to him ? But I told you not to ! Now he will..." Kurt trailed off.

"Now he will what ? That's precisely what I need to know. He said that things would happen to you if he disappeared and I have no idea how it is possible but you do and I want to know." Puck stated.

"I can't Puck. If I do they will..." Kurt quickly lifted his hand to his mouth as if to prevent himself from talking more.

"They ?" Puck asked. There were other guys ? Were they jocks or adults ? And what the fuck did they want to do to Kurt ? "Who ?" Kurt shook his head. "Kurt, tell me who 'they' are !"

" I can't." Kurt said his voice shaking.

"You can't fight alone against several guys Kurt." Puck said wrapping Kurt's shoulders with his valid arm to show him he was not alone. "Tell me who they are."

"I don't know who they are. Karofsky took them to the shed the day after he released you. They were... They are older than us." Kurt started to cry as he remembered the event.

"What have they done to you Kurt ?" Puck asked, tears invading his eyes as he imagined the worst.

"They didn't do anything. They... They wanted to but Karofsky stopped them claiming that I was his. But then Karofsky told them my name and where I live and he told them that if I ever denounced him and that he ended up in jail they were free to find me and to … to do whatever they want to do to me." Kurt said between hard sobs. Puck hugged him tightly angrier than ever.

"They won't do anything to you Kurt." He whispered in his ear. " I'll never let them touch you."

"There's nothing we can do Puck. If we don't do anything nothing will happen." Kurt said.

"You spend your days terrified, we need to stop it." Puck answered, stroking Kurt's hair gently as Kurt let go of the tension he had kept bottled up ever since he was free. Looking at him, Puck realized that there was nothing he could do to fight the feelings he had for the smaller boy. Even if it made him bi or even gay he didn't really care. He kissed him gently on the cheek. All he had to do now was find a plan. No, not a plan, THE plan. A badass plan that would save Kurt for good.

A/N: This chapter is quite short but i coudn't make it any longer. The story is getting really dramatic but hopefully Puck will find the plan !
