Chapter 22:

"Will you sleep with me tonight ?" Puck asked Kurt.

"I need to ask my dad first, he didn't really mind us sleeping together this afternoon but now he ran into us kissing I don't know if he'll agree." Kurt explained. He knew his dad would've disagreed in them sleeping together in other circumstances, but everything had changed, he had left home and so much things had happened. Puck kissed him one last time.

"Then go and ask him, I'll wait for you there." Kurt was reluctant in leaving Puck alone after what he just went through, and Puck was reluctant too since none of them seemed to be willing to let the other's hand go.

Finally, Puck let go of Kurt's hand and motioned him to go. Kurt walked at the door and shot one last glance at Puck before closing the door. He found his dad sitting in the corridor just where they were sitting twenty minute before.

"Isn't Puckerman coming with us ?" He asked frowning.

"Yes he is but I wanted to ask you something before we leave."

"Spill." Burt told his son.

"I'd like to sleep with Noah tonight." Burt frowned again. "We've got used to sleeping together even before we decided to be boyfriends, since we only decided of that two minutes ago. But we never had sex don't assume wrong things, we just sleep together that's all."

"Look Kurt, I really like what you're doing for this boy, it's really nice of you but you're going really far to help him now." Burt stated. Kurt looked at him like he had grown a second head.

"Wait, are you implying that I'm only doing it to help him ?" Kurt asked scandalized.

"Yes that's what I'm saying, I know how you can be when you want to help someone, you got this from your mother, but as much as this boy's hurt there are other way to help him." Burt explained.

"I want to be with him as much as he wants me ! I wanted him far before knowing there was a risk for him to be thrown back in juvie !" Kurt was outraged now.

"And did you want him before knowing what happened to him ?" Burt asked.

Kurt didn't know what to answer to this statement. He had no idea when he had grown feelings for Puck.

" I had a boyfriend before he told me all of that so I have no idea if I had feelings for him before. All I know is that I really want to be with him. He's helped me through many things as well as I have been for him." Kurt tried to explain his dad. Burt sighed.

"You're alike Kurt, you have nothing I common, I know now you really care for each other but when everything will be over you'll realize that. I don't want you to get close to a boy to the point of sleeping with him if I know he'll hurt you in the future."

"I had lots of things in common with my first boyfriend and he hurt me more than anyone ever hurt me dad. Noah's the one who had seen there was something wrong in our relationship, is the one who made Keith go away and I'm really glad he did." Burt winced at hearing his son had been hurt by a boy but Kurt didn't care.

"This guy hurt you ?" Burt inquired.

"Yes he did, all he wanted was to have sex with me and I wasn't ready. Noah heard us and stopped him from forcing me. D'you still think he'll hurt me ? If there's someone who won't ever force me into having sex it's him after all that happened to him." Kurt explained. He had never intended to tell his dad all that but he really needed to now.

"Okay, I kinda get he won't hurt you. But I really think that you should come back home tonight son, you've been gone for so long, I really need to spend time with you, and I think it's the same for Puckerman and his family." Kurt sighed, he had missed his dad so much and knew his dad had missed him even more.

"But we can't sleep without each other dad." Kurt tried for the last time. Burt shook his head.

"You can call him if you want but it'd be better for tonight. Maybe later he'll can come at home but for now let's just sleep your respective beds." Kurt hadn't realized that his dad was still thinking they were staying just like Mercedes.

"We're not staying dad. I'm sorry but just when we went to school I've been kind of attacked by my former bullies. And now everybody knows something happened to Noah. We'll stay here as long as it takes to sort the juvie mess out and then we'll go back where we were." Burt's face faded instantly.

"But you can't leave again, you've already been gone for so long."

"We can't stay here dad, in the letters you said you understood why we had left, you can understand again this time." Kurt told his dad, feeling bad for hurting him again. " I need to go tell Noah we can't sleep together." He added going back in the white room.

When he entered Puck looked at him with a hopeful smile on his lips. Kurt shook his head weakly.

"My dad thinks we should stay with our families tonight." Kurt explained. Puck's smile disappeared.

"But I want to sleep with you, it' been so much of an awful day for us." Puck argued.

" I want it too but we can't. Let's just go home for now, we'll see each other tomorrow." Kurt told him softly. Puck pouted until Kurt took him in his arms and put a peck on his lips.

"I want to go back in SF, there was no one to tell us what we could or couldn't do." Puck said.

" We will, don't worry about that, as soon as everything's over we'll go back and have fun like we used to." Kurt comforted him.

" I wanna see you dance rock again, I didn't tell you but were kinda sexy when you danced it." Kurt blushed a lot.

"Huh... Thank you ?" Kurt answered not sure of what to answer to that statement. Puck smirked at the blush.

"Let's go then." He said heading to the door.

"Noah ?" Kurt called him before he could open the door. Puck turned to look at his friend. "You have no problem with me being a guy right ?" Kurt asked unsure. It had bothered him a little, even if they were really close Kurt had always been certain that he was straight.

"C'mon Kurt, why would I have problem with you being a guy ? You're the best person I've ever met. I already hugged you and slept with you when we weren't together why would it change ?"

" I don't know it's just, you used to be straight so I thought that..."

"It's not about being gay or straight, it's just about you okay ? I won't fall for any hot girl while I'm with you, you're too important for that." Puck told him hugging him again. Kurt felt his heart growing warm at his boyfriend's ? statement.

"So we're like... boyfriends or something." Kurt asked uncertain.

"Something like that I guess." Puck stated with a smile, Kurt smiled back.

They dropped Puck at his place before heading back home. Kurt felt really bad for leaving his maybe boyfriend alone after all that happened. But his dad was right and he needed to be there for him since his health didn't seem to have improved during the last months. Kurt hated himself for worrying his dad so much, when he had left he had only been thinking about himself and his own grief.

During the next couple of days he couldn't see Puck. The boy was constantly called by the police to complete his statement or take pictures of his scars. He didn't spend his whole day at the police station though but when he was not there, Burt found something to occupy Kurt. Kurt knew perfectly well that it was a plot for him and Puck not to leave again. Preventing them from meeting was the best way to keep them in Lima.

Kurt felt really bad because he wanted badly to go back in San Francisco with Puck resuming their life where they stopped it, but he also didn't want to take chance on his father's health and leaving would probably make it worse.
