Lies And Truths

Chp. II - Flashback

Kurt woke up the next morning and thought over the previous day's events. He decided to still keep it from Blaine, but talk to Puck about it. Clearly he was just confused.

He drove to Blaine's house to pick him up and texted him he was there. He saw Puck's name in his phone and felt the need to ask him why he did what he did yesterday. But how could he do that?

Kurt-
Hey I was just wondering, why did you do that yesterday?

Kurt shook his head and deleted what he wrote. It was just so unexpected, so how was he supposed to do this? Did Puck like Kurt? No there must be another explanation... somehow.

"Hey, sorry I took so long," Blaine said as he entered Kurt's car, causing Kurt to quickly shut off his phone and plaster on a smile. He was happy to see Blaine, but he was just worried for Puck. "But I got you these." He handed Kurt a bouquet of red and yellow roses, with a huge grin on his face.

"They're beautiful, I love you," Kurt smiled back at Blaine, but felt guilty. "I'll try and find Puck again today." Truly, Kurt was going to ask Puck about the kiss.

"I need to talk to you, Noah." Kurt said as he approached him at his locker.

"No, you don't. I need to get to class." Puck closed his locker and started to walk away. Kurt just followed.

"Since when do you care about school?" he questioned.

"Since now, so leave me alone."

He ignored Puck's comment. "What were you thinking yesterday?"

Puck stopped in the middle of the hallway. "I wasn't, ok? Just stop talking about it and I'll leave Blaine alone. That's what you wanted!" He walked away, but this time Kurt didn't follow. He wanted to help his friend but right now he needed some space.

Puck walked into the boys' locker room after the last bell had rang. He had planned to clean out his locker since they weren't doing anything important in glee that day. No one else was in there, until he heard the door open.

"Puckerman?" he heard a high voice say.

This was Kurt's voice, no doubt. Why's Kurt in here? What if he knows I'm skipping glee? Puck thought as he walked out from behind the lockers.

He decided to play it cool. "Oh, hey there Kurt, I was just about to walk to glee. Why aren't you there already?"

"Actually, I needed to talk to you about somethi-"

Oh my god, he knows about the jello. Deny everything. "I didn't do it!"

"No, Blaine told me you've been threatening him," Puck watched the air-quotes Kurt put around the word 'threatening.'

Why did I think Blaine wouldn't tell him.

As Kurt talked, Puck continued to stare at nothing on the floor. "I mean, I knew you would be protective, but this has been happening everyday. I was just wondering why."

Blaine's gonna leave you behind just like I did to-He cut his own thought off and before he knew it, he was yelling that at the only other person in the room. Kurt stopped him, but he wasn't listening to what he was saying.

Puck's brain stopped thinking straight. He took a step forward and he had his lips on Kurt's. Before he knew it, he was running out of the locker room.

Puck went directly to his car. When he got there he looked back to make sure Kurt wasn't following him.

Screw glee practice, I'm going home.
He sat in the parking lot before starting his car, thinking about what had just happened. His head rested on the steering wheel. When he looked at the time, fifteen minutes had passed and he started the ignition. The song playing on the radio blasted out of the stereo.

After the next class, Kurt went to lunch. He mindlessly grabbed his tray of food and walked over to the table where Blaine and Mercedes were. Normally Puck would sit there, too, but Kurt didn't expect him to be there after their conversation.

Mercedes and Blaine were talking about something but Kurt didn't really notice. He spaced out a while ago.

"Are you gonna eat your tots?"

"Hmm? Oh, no you can have them, 'Cedes." Kurt was barely even eating his salad.

"Kurt are you okay? You haven't said anything," Blaine said, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm okay, but have you guys seen Puck lately? I haven't since I talked to him about how he ki- messed with Blaine." Kurt caught himself before anyone noticed what he was about to say. At least he hoped.

"I haven't either, but no doubt, he's most likely skipping school," Blaine said, matter-of-factly with an eye roll.

Kurt knew that even if he did, he would come back for glee practice. He just had to wait.

Everyone was sat down in the choir room-except for Puck.

"Okay everyone, let's get started," Mr. Schue said as he clapped once. Puck walked in the room after that and asked if he could perform a song.

He took out his guitar, glanced at Kurt for a barely noticeable split second then started to sing.

You remind me of a former love that I once knew
And you carry a little speech with you
We were holding hands walking through the middle of the street
It's fine with me, I'm just taking in the scenery

You remind me of a few of my famous friends
Well, that all depends what you qualify as friends
You remind me of a few of my famous friends
Well, that all depends what you qualify as friends

Take a chance, take your shoes off, dance in the rain
And I was flashing around and the news spread all over town
I'm not complaining that it's raining, I'm just saying that I like it a lot
More than you think, if the sun would come out and sing with me

You remind me of a few of my famous friends
Well, that all depends what you qualify as friends
You remind me of a few of my famous friends
Well, that all depends what you qualify as friends

It was just a simple version of a simple song. After he finished singing, he immediately left, causing everyone to be confused. Class continued but Kurt kept wondering about what's happened.

Kurt was expecting to talk to Puck after glee, but figured he went home.

"Yo, Hummel," Puck said from down the hallway.

"Oh, Puck, I actually wanted to ask you-"

"Can I come over?"

"Yeah, that's what I was just gonna-"

"Ok, good I'll be there in half an hour." With that, Puck left, yet again, leaving Kurt confused.
