The Event

KURT

Puck came down the stairs with two plates of food. He entered the room to see a smiling Kurt sitting back on the bed with his back against the wall.

"Hey." Puck said hesitantly.

Kurt sighed. "Come here."

Puck quickly sat down the plates on the white couch and crossed over to Kurt.

"What's wrong?" Puck asked as he sat down by the boy. "Are you hurting?"

Kurt chuckled. "I'm fine. I just wanted to say . . . that I'm sorry."

Puck cocked his head to the side. "What do you have to be sorry about?"

"Most recently . . . a few minutes ago."

Puck blushed. Kurt stared at the tan skin. "Don't. It's partly my fault too."

Kurt sighed. "I'm still sorry. But the main thing that I'm sorry about, was the other day."

Puck wrapped his arms around the smaller, paler boy. "You don't need to talk about this. I don't want to make you."

Kurt reluctantly pulled himself out of the muscular boys arms. Puck slowly released his grip.

"I need too. I almost killed you." Kurt bit his lip and let out a shaky breath. "I was just selfish and stupid." He blinked away a few tears. "I just should have never brought you up to that edge with me."

Puck reached a hand out to cup Kurt's face.

"I never should have pushed you up to it."

Puck leaned forward slowly.

Kurt shut his eyes.

Please . . .

He felt the lips of Puck graze upon his cheekbone. His jawline. His chin.

Kurt flipped his eyes open as Puck moved back.

"Kurt."

Puck slowly slipped his hand over Kurt's.

"Yeah."

"Can we . . ." Puck takes a deep breath. "Can we-"

"Kurt!"

The two boys looked at Kurt's staircase to see Mercedes and Tina racing down. They slowed down once they reached the bottom. Kurt kept eye contact with the two. He watched a nervous Puck out of the corner of his eye.

Are they afraid of me?

Tina and Mercedes glanced nervously at each other.

They are.

Kurt gave them a small smile.

"Hey guys."

They smiled.

"Come here. I miss my girls."

Smiles were an immediate reaction upon the girls faces. Kurt jumped off the bed to meet them in a tight hug.

"My baby boy!" Mercedes cried out.

"Kurt!" Tina cried out.

Kurt caught Puck edging across the room out of the corner of his eye. He gave a quick nod before Puck took off up the stairs.

PUCK

Puck entered the kitchen. Burt was sitting at the table.

"How is he doing?" Burt asked as he sat down.

"Good. He seems to be in a better mood. The girls?" Puck asked.

"They're his best friends. I promised myself that I'm not going to let him be alone. He needs them." Burt explained.

Puck nodded. "He looked happy."

"Good."

Puck glanced around the empty kitchen.

"Where's Mrs. H. and Finn at?"

Burt sighed and glanced down at the floor.

"I asked Carole if they could stay away for a bit. Got them a hotel." He let out a deep breath. "I think Kurt needs to be as close to normal as possible. No family issues. Just him, me, and his friends."

Puck bit his lip. "Should I go?"

Burt glanced up at him. "No. You can't leave." He takes a breath and sits back in his chair. "He needs you. Or at least he thinks he does."

What?

"You mean . . . he's not going to want to be my friend. Once he gets past this." Puck hesitated.

"I don't know. You've bullied him for years. I don't want you to get attached to being his friend when he may leave you when he gets better." Burt explained.

"No. He's not going to stop being my friend. He cares for me."

"I'm not trying to get you upset kid." Burt got up and placed a hand on Puck's shoulder. "I just don't want you to get hurt over this. I've seen that you changed, but once this heroism that he has for you fades, he might realize that you haven't changed."

Puck glanced of at the older man as his lip trembled.

KURT

"You better not do that again." Mercedes commanded with flare.

Kurt smiled a bit. "I won't. I've realized how stupid, and how selfish I was."

Mercedes hugs him for good measure.

"How are you feeling? Is it great to be home?" Tina asked as she cuddled into Kurt's side.

Kurt flings an arm around and Tina and pulls her closer.

"Much better. I finally have good looking clothes to wear." He sighs as he looks down at the girl. "How is everyone else doing? I know I probably scared them to death."

Mercedes squeezed his hand. "They're all worried about you. Terrified."

"We're just glad that you're okay and that you have all of our support." Tina confirmed.

Kurt raised an eyebrow, "Support."

"Well . . . what you did . . . you know" Kurt nodded at Tina's explanation. "You've started, like, a huge controversy."

Kurt looked back and forth between each of the girls. "Controversy?"

"You pointed out the jocks. The cause of all your trouble. Well after you were taken to the hospital, the news people showed up and began talking to everyone. This whole bullying thing is causing an uprise. Especially since Coach Sylvester was on TV. She and Beiste are forcing a no-bullying policy on the cheerios and football players once school starts back up." Mercedes explained.

"I saw that on TV. What do you know about that meeting?" Kurt asked.

"I think half the school is going. According to Quinn, Sylvester is making sure that there will be news coverage and that the entire district will enter a no-bullying zone. You're changing things Kurt." Tina squeezed his arm. "It only sucks that it had to reach this far."
