Chapter 5 :
Puck had no idea how many time he had been sitting there in the bus. More than one day, for sure. He had been listening to his music, has listened the album Rock'n Roll by Ryan Adams a few times before his I pod had run out of battery. He had been sleeping too. Had been looking out the window and seen the changes of landscapes. He had never seen anything else than Lima and Columbus, once.
And here he was in a bus, in California. He smiled at the thought of being away of everything. Most of all he was away of juvie and its freaks. The bus driver announced that they were approaching Market street, terminus of the bus. Puck guessed that Market St was in SF and grabbed his bag. The city was huge and looked old but nice. When the bus stopped he was the first one to get out of it.
He found himself on the sidewalk of a huge street. He looked around but decided to walk a little before calling Kurt. He needed to move his legs because the ride had been super long. He walked and found himself on a square named Union Square. He decided to sit on a bench face to Macy's and called Kurt.
"Puck ?" Kurt asked.
"Yep, I'm here." He said.
"You're already in San Francisco ? Right, where are you ?" Kurt asked he didn't sound hurt, that was a good thing.
"Union Square apparently, there's a Macy's in front of me." He informed.
"Great I'm not far from you I'll be there in 8min don't move." And Kurt hang up.
Puck sighed and stayed here. It was a really nice place. He lit up a cigaret and looked around to see if he saw Kurt coming. There were a bunch of young people sitting on the square and they looked quite happy.
Someone sat on the bench beside him. He turned his head to find Kurt. They didn't say a word for a moment, just sitting there and looking in front of them. Finally Puck broke the silence.
"You're not hurt right ?" Kurt shook his head.
" I'm fine, it's a very nice city." Kurt stated.
"The guy wasn't a perv or anything ?" Kurt frowned at him.
"As I told you he's not."
"Where do you stay ?"
"At his place, it's a big apartment, he lives there with 4 other students, they're really cool. He told me there was no problem if you wanted to sleep there a few days." Kurt explained.
"Great I have nowhere to stay." Puck said. He didn't really know how to talk to the boy since they had barely talked to each other their whole lives.
"Puck are you okay ?" Kurt inquired looking concerned. Puck looked at him.
"Yeah I'm okay, I'm in California how could I not be okay ?" He said smiling.
"You told me terrible things had happened while you were in juvie." Kurt told him. Puck frowned, he had almost stopped thinking about that. Almost because there was always a part in his brain that relived the two weeks of hell he had had.
" I don't wanna talk about that"
"Puck you told me you needed help and that you'd tell me about it, that's the only reason I told you where I am."
" I'll tell you but just not now, I'm trying to have fun and talking about that will only ruin my mood." He explained to the smaller boy.
"Alright, then let's head to Keith's place I'll introduce you." He stood up and motioned Puck to follow him.
They walked out of Union Square and went through some streets to end up on a huge street called Bush st. They climbed the street and Puck discovered the reality of the hills of San Francisco. He had always thought they exaggerated in Starsky and Hutch but it was really like in the show. They ended up in front of a Starbucks and Kurt entered a door and climbed a bunch of steps.
Puck followed him and once on the first floor Kurt entered a door where a list of names were written. He guessed it was the names of the people living here. Some were barred and the name of Kurt Hummel had been added at the end of the list. He followed Kurt inside of a huge living room with two people sitting on the couch.
"Hey guys, this is Puck, the friend I told you about." Kurt said. They lifted their heads to see them and stood up to welcome him.
"Hi Puck I'm Sarah" A girl told him before hugging him.
" I'm John" The guy standing next to the girl said.
"Hi everyone." Puck said uncertain. They were all so familiar it was weird.
"Kurt is he your friend ?" Said a guy who went out of the bathroom. He only had a towel around his waist and went behind Kurt to put his arms around his waist.
"Yes Keith, it's Puck." Kurt said smiling. Keith lifted his hand to shake Puck's and Puck shook it.
"Come in with us we'll welcome you as you deserve it." Puck swallowed hard, it reminded him of the first day at juvie when his room mate had met him. Yet Keith had no intention to harm Puck, he led him to the living room, they all sat down and he started rolling a spliff.
"Kurt didn't want to smoke on it but I guess you'll like it." Puck smiled and nodded. Kurt rolled his eyes, he was sitting next to Keith, like very close to him. Puck was shocked. Kurt had only been there for one day and he already seemed to be this guy's boyfriend. Puck had never seen Kurt with another boy but he looked very at ease with this guy. And Keith looked quite cool so Puck was happy for them.
Once rolled, Keith gave the spliff to Puck. He lighted it and tasted it. It was the best weed Puck had ever tasted, his head was already spinning.
"You don't have weed like that in Lima, have you ?" John asked smiling at Puck's face.
" I just realize how terrible is our weed compared to yours." Puck stated. John stood up and went to a closet not far from them, he opened it to show a string on which hang several branches of cannabis drying. He opened wide eyes. Everyone laughed.
"This is our own weed, one of the best of the city" Keith said smiling with pride.
"Puck have you told anyone where you were going ?" Kurt inquired. Puck shook his head.
" I just told my little sister that I was leaving for a while that's all."
"Great." Kurt said.
" I really love this place" Puck said giving the room an appreciative glance.
"We have a spare room, you can stay there as long as you want." Keith told him.
"Thank you guys." Kurt smiled and kissed Keith on the lips. There was no more ambiguity. Puck smiled and gave the spliff to the Sarah girl.
" I'm going to show you your room Puck so that you'll put your stuff there." Kurt said. He stood up and led Puck along a corridor with a few doors. He opened one that led on a small room with a bed, a desk and a closet. "it's not huge but I think you'll be able to do with it." Kurt said. Puck smiled.
"That's great, I really love this place and the guys are cool !"
"Yeah they are ! They're great."
"How many time d'you plan to stay here ?" Puck asked. Kurt looked embarrassed.
" I don't really know, I love this place and everyone's fabulous and-"
"Especially Keith" Puck smirked. Kurt blushed and looked at his feet.
"Yeah him too." Puck smirked even more at the embarrassment of the boy.
"Hey you don't need to be embarrassed ! He seems great !" Puck reassured him. Kurt smiled. " I know what happened with Finn and your dad, I'm sorry Kurt" Puck said.
"That's okay Puck I wouldn't have come here if it hadn't happened and I'm so happy here. I just wish my dad hadn't agreed with Finn, but it was the truth so..."
"It was not the truth ! You can talk to whoever you want you won't ruin their lives !" Puck said. Kurt looked sad at the thought of what had happened. "Come here." Puck said, he hugged the smaller boy to reassure him. Okay, it could have looked like an awkward situation, the umber one badass hugging the gay kid but fuck it. "Everything's gonna be fine now, we're in San Francisco no one's gonna hurt you for what you are." Kurt smiled. " I think we should go back to the living room if we don't want Keith to be jealous of the Puckosaur." Kurt laughed and broke the hug.
"You've changed Puck." Kurt stated.
" I already told you so." Puck said. Kurt smiled and went back to the living room.
"Hey guys I hope you didn't do too much things in my absence" Keith joked.
"don't worry he's all yours" Puck answered smiling.
