This took me ages to write. I hope it's worth all the time and effort I put into it.
So, as you know, Kurt finds out in this chapter. What will he do when he knows who it is?
Enjoy!
Finn returned home after dropping Rachel off. He was still having trouble believing that it was actually her that had pranked Kurt, twice! He'd expect that sort of thing from Puck, but Rachel? He knew that he'd probably say something to Kurt if he saw him, and it didn't help that they shared a room. He hoped that he could just say he was tired and Kurt would leave him alone for the rest of the night.
As he'd assumed, Kurt was sat before the mirror, rubbing some new moisturiser into his orange skin. It had started to fade now, but the colour was still pretty visible. Finn frowned as he saw how short Kurt had had to cut his hair in order to make it look normal again.
"How'd you date go?" Kurt smirked as he noticed him coming down the stairs.
"Good," he replied, flopping down onto his bed. Well, most of it was
He saw the smile slide onto Kurt's lips, but ignored it, grabbing some clothes to get changed into. When he emerged from the bathroom, hair a little wet from his shower, he found Kurt still doing his face. Sighing, he got into bed and pulled the cover over his head in an attempt to block out the light.
It didn't work very well and there was no way he could fall asleep when it was so bright, no matter how tired he was.
"Kurt, could you turn the light off? I'm, like, really tired," he said," Can't you do that in the morning?"
Despite the fact that he wanted to finish off his facial cleanse, Kurt knew how late it had become and switched off the light, himself getting into bed.
"You know Finn. When I find out who did this, they're going to have hell to pay," he announced. It was a good thing that it was dark, because Kurt had no idea how panicked Finn had become as he said those words.
- glee -
"Why did you tell him? Don't you understand not letting people find out? Especially the guy who lives with him! I thought you were supposed to be smart?"
"Noah," Rachel placed her hands on her hips, giving him a stern look," I am not saying that it was a good thing that I told Finn but honesty is very important to me, and I wasn't about to lie to my boyfriend."
"Oh, fine. Yeah, I guess honesty is important. Why don't you go and tell Kurt it was you who turned his face orange?"
She looked down, not having anything to answer him with.
"Exactly!" he threw his hands up into the air," Now come on! I've had an idea."
"No, I refuse to be a part of it any more."
Rachel folded her arms stubbornly, a determined expression set on her face. Puck glared at her, still very angry and so, he stormed out of the room, not caring whether she was going to help or not. But if he got caught, she was going down with him! He would make sure of that.
He was on the verge on running when he arrived at the Hummel's house. Rachel, before they'd argued, had informed him of how everyone was out today, so he was sure that no one could possibly see him.
Cautiously, he moved around to the back of the house to where the window to Kurt's room was. Before he'd joined glee, he'd broke into the house more than once, and he hadn't lost his touch. The familiar sound of the latch clicking open rang in his ears and he pulled himself through the small gap. Feet hitting the floor, he checked again to make sure the house was completely empty. You never could be too safe. Satisfied, Puck went into Kurt's bathroom. He pulled out the dye from his back pocket, a smirk on his face.
This is going to be so good he thought to himself. He'd managed to steal the dye from his mum, so didn't really have any idea what colour it went, but any would do really. Scanning the room, he found the toothpaste, squirting it out into the bin and then adding the dye.
Puck heard something from upstairs, rushing more. He shoved the toothpaste back into it's place and squeezed himself back out through the window. If Rachel would have helped him, she could fit through it with no problem, being so small.
As soon as he was a good way away from the house, he grinned. It was going to be fun tomorrow when Kurt came into school with his teeth a completely different colour, and hopefully Finn would use the same toothpaste too.
He placed his hand in his pockets, walking smugly down the street, when a sudden realisation dawned on him.
"The dye," he panicked, mentally kicking himself," I've left the damn dye!"
- glee -
"Are you alright Finn?" Kurt gave him a funny look," You've been really quiet all day."
The boy nodded quickly," I just haven't been feeling well. I must have eaten something bad."
Not at all convinced, Kurt remained silent, looking out of the window of the car. His dad and Carole we were having their own conversation, and he was pretty sure that it was to do with some sport, so he decided not to join in. And Finn had been giving everyone the silent treatment all day. Had he said something wrong?
They finally got home, after what had seemed like the longest day ever. Kurt was ready to go for a relaxing facial in his room, hoping that Finn would watch football somewhere else. He needed some alone time. Once inside the house, he hurried to his room, reaching the bathroom in a matter of seconds. He began gathering everything he needed, when he noticed the purple spill on the sink, seeing the bottle beside it.
Curious, he took it in his hand, reading the label. Purple hair dye.
Now he was even more angry than he had been all week. They'd snook into his house and messed with his things. He walked over to place the dye in the bin, seeing the long stream of toothpaste inside. With a sigh, he opened his tube of toothpaste, seeing the purple dye inside. As he made his way into the bedroom, he saw Finn sitting on the bed, trying to do some homework but, by the frustrated look on his face, he didn't really understand any of it.
Kurt cleared his throat, waiting for him to look in his direction," We no longer have toothpaste."
"What? Why?" Finn gave him a confused stare. To answer his question, Kurt pulled up the tube of hair dye, seeing as Finn instantly recognised what it was, giving out a groan," I told her not to do anything else?"
"You told who not to Finn?" he took a step closer, his voice serious.
"Rachel!" the reply came as a shout," She promised! How could she lie to me?"
He could see the hurt expression of Finn's face, causing him to frown. Though he was still a little shocked to find out that it was Rachel, he knew he'd have to get payback for Finn.
"Well, if she wanted to get us with dye, I suggest that we just return the favour. I wonder what Rachel will look like with purple hair."
Finn's eyes widened," Kurt, no. I'm sick of all of this. Why is everyone so hell-bent on getting revenge? Can't we all just apologise and carry on with things the way they were?"
"Okay. Fine," Kurt frowned. Glancing at the hair dye, he knew that Finn wouldn't be happy with him doing this, but it was for his own good. It will make him feel better. It will make both of them feel better.
- glee -
Puck smiled at Quinn as she walked past, receiving a nod in return. At least she was acknowledging him. That was an improvement, right?
Any attempts at beginning to talk to her were ruined when a very angry Rachel appeared in front of him. He flinched, where the hell had she just come from?
"Why're you wearing a hat Berry? It really doesn't suit you," he laughed, but it died off when her expression didn't change.
"What the hell did you do to Kurt?" She demanded to know, fury deep within her eyes. He leaned against the locker, acting nonchalant," Wouldn't you like to know?"
She looked like she was about to attack him right there," Yes, I would Noah. Because of your little stunt, I have suffered a great drawback."
"Excuse me?" he smirked, having no idea what she was talking about. She glanced around, dragging him to an empty corner, before pulling the hat off. Her hair slid down her back, and Puck had to hold back his laughter.
"Your hair... it'-"
"Purple. I know," she fumed," And it's all your fault. Did you say something to Kurt? I don't know how else he'd find out?"
Rachel began placing her hair , her bright purple hair, back into the hat, tucking it in so no one could see it. Puck raised his brow," You really don't know? Finn told him obviously. I sure as hell didn't"
He failed to mention the fact that he'd left the dye at Kurt's house, but he couldn't find out who did it from that. Though, he had a feeling that, if Rachel found out, he'd be in serious trouble.
However, it looked like Rachel believed him that it was Finn. Her jaw locked into a tight position and he was so glad that he wasn't Finn right at that very moment. She spun on her heel, storming off down the hall.
"What's wrong with Man hands?" he heard from behind his, turning to see Quinn.
"Hair malfunction," he muttered, then it hit him that she were talking to him, normally," You're... talking to me. Something must be wrong."
"No, nothing's wrong. I'm ready for my apology. My real apology," she carried on when he looked at her confused. Hadn't he already apologised enough?" You know, the reason why you did it?"
"I already told you Quinn-"
"You lied to me! I know you did. I want the truth Puck. You owe me at leas that."
"Look, I'm gonna prove that it's the truth. Glee is next right? Come on, I'll get Kurt to tell you," he grabbed her arm, beginning to pull her towards the choir room. She pushed it away, frustrated,"I can get there myself, you know?"
He ignored her, heading into the room to find Kurt, and most of the group, watching the argument between Rachel and Finn.
"I can't believe that you did that to me. I trusted you."
"No, I trusted you," he began into a long speech about everything he'd told her. Puck walked up to Kurt, setting Quinn in front of him.
"Kurt, please tell her the truth."
"What truth?" he was obviously confused. Finn and Rachel still carried on, oblivious to everyone else.
"You promised me Finn," the tears brimmed in her eyes," You said that you wouldn't tell him."
"Yes I did, but you also promised that you wouldn't do anything else to Kurt. You put dye in our toothpaste!"
Puck spoke over them," Tell Quinn that you hypnotised me, and I fell in love with Rachel because of it."
He knew that it sounded ridiculous, but it was the truth. Kurt opened his mouth to speak, but the words which Rachel said sort of ruined everything.
"I kept my promise Finn. I didn't do anything. It was Puck who did that. I even told him not to!"
Kurt looked at him with accusing eyes, before turning to Quinn," I have no idea what he's talking about. Sorry Quinn."
She frowned, glaring at him, before walking out of the room, not bothering to give him a second glance. Puck stared at Kurt with his mouth wide open," Why did you lie?"
"Oh, I don't know," Kurt said sarcastically, pointing to his hair and face," Good luck with Quinn."
He groaned, running out after her. All the time, Finn and Rachel were still glaring a each other, still unable to speak from a mixture of shock and anger.
"I'm sorry for what I did, okay?" she looked into his eyes," But I didn't think you'd let Kurt do anything back. Why didn't you make him promise to stop?"
Finn looked towards Kurt, and then back to her," What are you talking about Rach? He didn't do anything."
She couldn't believe that he was pretending not to know. Taking a deep breathe, she removed her hat for the second time that day, seeing the shock register on his face. From beside her, she knew that everyone was laughing at her hair, but her eyes were glued onto Finn, who just stared at her with wide eyes.
"H-how...?"
"I didn't do this to myself!" she yelled, throwing an accusing look in Kurt's direction," he did it."
"You don't know that Rach," Finn defended, but Kurt came to stand next to him," Nope, I did it..
"Why Kurt? I thought I made it clear that I'm sick of all of this."
"Just getting even. But then again, you did two things two me, didn't you? I'd watch my back if I were you Rachel," Kurt smirked at her, returning to sit with Mercedes and Tina. Rachel, overwhelmed by the events of the day, forced herself not to cry, slowly stepping out of the room.
She heard Finn's voice shouting from the room, but once outside, she ran to the bathroom, knowing he couldn't come in after her And then finally, let the tears fall.
