Chapter 20:

"Look who's back here ! Our favorite little faggot." Karofsky said. There were three other jocks with him, Azimio and two others Kurt didn't know. "We've been missing you you know ? There was no one who was worth being thrown in a dumpster after you left."

"Don't raise your hope, I'm not staying." Kurt replied, still walking away. Karofsky walked faster and stopped in front of him, the other jocks made a circle around him so that there was no way he could escape.

"You're not going anywhere Hummel. They say you've turned Puckerman gay is that true ?" The big jock asked with a threatening tone.

"So what if it's true ?" Puck asked standing behind Karofsky, no one had seen him approaching. "You're all fuckin' cowards, I saw you avoiding me when I came to my truck, you didn't say anything and you were just waiting for Kurt because he's weaker than you."

"So Puckerman really turned gay ! Look at this cute little couple." Azimio said when Puck broke the circle to come closer to Kurt.

"Personally I don't want any trouble but I'd be glad to punch all your faces just for what you did to Kurt, so does anyone want to taste my guns ?" Kurt was scared, Puck hadn't been violent since he came out of juvie but he knew about his pocket knife and didn't want him to get into more troubles.

"Noah stop please, they're really not worth it." Kurt told him. Puck was still looking at the guys with a threatening glare.

"Yes they are, they're the fuckin' reason why you left." Puck said angrily. "So d'you wanna taste them ? Some say I became crazy in juvie, if you wanna check you just have to try and lay a single finger on Kurt." The jocks didn't look so proud, they shot glances at each other.

"Why d'you protect him ? You've always bullied him just like us." One of the two jocks Kurt didn't know asked.

"Because he's worth better than the three of you, now fuck off before I really get angry." Puck said. There was a little crowd around them now and no one dared to say anything.

" I've never believed that you went crazy after juvie, gay probably but not crazy." Karofsky said.

"So you really wanna mess with me Dave ?" Puck asked in a threatening tone.

"Actually I wanted to mess with your adorable boyfriend but you just stopped us from doing so."

"Anyone who messes with Kurt messes with me." Puck said grabbing Kurt's arm. Kurt had no idea what to do, he really didn't want the situation to deteriorate.

"Noah please just drop it and let's go." Kurt tried again.

" I already told you you're not going anywhere faggot !" Karofsky stated again, Puck clenched his fists and walked towards the jock with a threatening step. Kurt looked around to see if there was any teacher there to help them but knew that even if there were, they wouldn't react.

"Don't you fuckin' dare talking to him that way or I'll rip your head off and I swear I can do it !" Puck said, his head inches away from Karofsky's. The boy panted but didn't move backward.

He regained his self-confidence when Azimio and the two other jocks grabbed Puck by the shoulders to move him away from David.

"You don't look as proud as you did seconds ago Puckerman !" Karofsky said.

"You're just cowards ! Four against one, really ? Even saying you're cowards is insulting cowardice itself !" Kurt shouted at them.

"Oh look your boyfriends stands up for you isn't it cute ? Kiss him to comfort him Puckerman he looks all shaken." Puck shot a death glare to Karofsky.

"The fuck I'm not kissing Kurt" Puck stated angry, and Kurt couldn't do but feel hurt at the statement.

True the circumstances weren't ideal. True he had always known that Puck was straight. But since a little while their relationship had changed and they had gotten closer to each other. He had always known that there would never be anything more than friendship between he and Puck. But he had always had a utopian side to tell him that maybe Puck could be feeling something for him. After all he's been the only one to run after him. Puck had never told the story to anyone before Kurt and he had admitted that Kurt was the only one who could take away the bad memories. He had even told a guy that they were together one night in a bar. Puck thought that Kurt didn't remember but he did and was really glad for that.

"Oh look you hurt him." Karofsky stated in a false afflicted tone.

"He didn't freakin' hurt me now leave us alone for Christ's sake !" Kurt said pissed off before walking towards Karofsky, slapping him right in the face and walking towards Puck's truck. Puck followed him hastily and when they were in the truck he said.

"Wanna get killed or something ?"

"Oh go to hell Noah !" Kurt stated irritated. Puck looked at him while Kurt struggled to keep his head turned to the window.

"Look Kurt, I'm sorry okay ? I didn't mean to hurt you."

"You didn't hurt me for Christ's sake why does everyone think I'm hurt ?" Kurt asked.

"Maybe because if it was written on your forehead with huge red letters it would be less obvious ?" Puck stated.

"Well I'm not, so sorry if it hurts your ego." Kurt lied annoyed.

"It's not about my ego Kurt. Look, it's not that I didn't want to kiss you, that I was disgusted or anything, it's just that given the circumstances it wasn't at all appropriate." Puck explained.

Kurt had no idea what to think of this. Did it mean that Puck wanted to kiss him or not ? It didn't mean anything. Kurt kept on pouting on his seat looking out the window. Puck didn't try to argue any more since Kurt had clearly shown he was not going to answer.

A/N: A little chapter based on Kurt's feelings. The previous ones were hard for Puck so i thought that it would be nice to let him breathe a little. It's not exactly a light chapter but it's a break for Puck.

I hope you enjoyed it !
