When Puck got off the phone with Kurt on Thursday, he immediately set out to pack a bag.<p>He couldn't stay away from New York for one more day when Kurt still sounded like he was minutes away from launching himself off the empire state building. Grabbing some clothes, his guitar and driving through taco bell for some food to mac on while he was driving; he set off for New York.</p><p>He was sure the girls were doing their best, but bottom line...it was still Santana and Rachel. Despite how much they both cared about Kurt, they weren't exactly used to handling situations like this, both neither of them had siblings and both had spent the majority of their lives putting themselves first and stepping on everyone possible to get what they wanted. Sure they were different now, they cared and actually...thought about how the things they said and did effected people, but in reality they could only do so much.</p><p>Back home when things got tough who was it that was there for Kurt? His main support system since his mom died? His dad. While Puck wasn't exactly a perfect substitute maybe some male company would be of some good to Princess, and technically speaking he WAS a dad. Now that he and Shelby had finally worked out some boundaries, once a month he got to visit her and every week he got to see her on Skype and get updates on everything. Puck had come to realize he really did love being a dad, and while he couldn't be a real father to Beth, he would take whatever he could get. Having a kid changes you. It wakes up some part of your subconscious that makes you want to take care of people, or in Puck's case...take care of Hummel.</p><p>Over the summer they had gotten just THAT MUCH closer. Kurt had even volunteered to go with Puck to visit Beth the first time because he was nervous, naturally Beth LOVED Kurt, and every time he opened his mouth she would just gaze at him with stars in her eyes. He was a wizard with babies apparently. The first time he held her he started crying and Puck couldn't help but snap a picture which was currently safely in his phone as his background. His two favorite people. When he asked Kurt why he was crying he just said "For the first time in my life, I can honestly see myself being a dad" he whispered wiping the tears out of his eyes.</p><p>Santana had teased him all summer that he was 'so gay for Kurt' which wasn't exactly 100% false. He knew it would never ever in a million years happen, but he was a sex shark...he didn't discriminate...and even he had to admit Hummel was sort of beautiful...and he did have the best ass like...ever. Seriously...especially in those damn tight ass pants of him that left NOTHING to the imagination. Part of him did have a special sort of love for Kurt, but more like a best friend than anything. So even if maybe a small part of him was 'gay for princess' it wasn't enough to act on it. He loved their relationship exactly how it was. Besides...Hummel and Hobbit were like...destined and shit...star crossed lovers and soul mates and all that mushy crap.</p><p>When Puck got to Kurt's apartment building...he was exhausted. 11 hours of driving was enough to wear out anyone. Grabbing his bags he trudged along till he was outside Kurt's door and knocked hard twice.</p><p>When Kurt open the door his eyes went wide with shock and a large grin stretched across his face as he yelled "NOAH!" and threw his arms around Puck's shoulders who caught him laughing.</p><p>"Surprise Princess"</p><p>"what are you doing here? Come inside! Can I get you some coffee?"</p><p>After accepting a cup of coffee and settling down on the couch with Kurt he explained how he missed him and decided now was as good a time as any to come and visit.</p><p>Kurt raised an eyebrow at Puck and responded "and I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the big bad Puckzilla was worried about me right? Because badasses don't worry."</p><p>Puck rolled his eyes at Kurt and poked him in the stomach "shut up...so maybe I was a bit worried...but I HAVE missed you princess, that's the truth"</p><p>"admit it Puckerman you loooooovee me." He teased</p><p>Puck grinned and pulled him into a hug "that's just cuz you are so damn ADORABLE kurtie-pie!" he said with an exaggerated pinch to Kurt's cheek. Kurt slapped away his hand with a laugh and hugged him back.</p><p>"Thanks for coming Noah" he said softly.</p><p>"Don't mention it Princess"</p><p>*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*</p><p>Later that night Kurt was shoved into his room and told to get ready because Noah, Santana and Rachel were taking him out. So here he was sitting in his room trying to put together an outfit even though he seriously had no desire to leave his apartment. But Noah DID drive 11 hours to come see him, so he supposed he could suck it up for one night if only to get them all off his back. After 10 minutes of glaring at his closet he decided to throw caution to the wind and dress down for a change. Pulling on some dark wash Jeans and a Black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he slipped on some converse that he had to pull out of the very back of his closest, to this day he still had no idea where he got them, but they were comfortable so they would work for now.</p><p>Looking in the mirror he couldn't help but think Blaine would probably like the outfit. Shaking his head free of his traitorous thoughts he walked back out to the group in the living room and was startled by the whistles that greeted him.</p><p>"DAMN Hummel, wanna be straight for the night? You look hot" Santana leered causing Kurt to take a panicked step away from her and put up his fingers in the shape of a cross to which she cackled hysterically.</p><p>"Be gone Satan!" he said dramatically causing all three to break down into chuckles.</p><p>"You look very nice Kurt" Rachel said kindly<br />"Yea yea we all agree Hummel looks all sexy in his outfit...can we go now?" Puck groaned sarcastically.</p><p>They ended up at some Karaoke Bar. Naturally within the first 10 minutes Rachel was on stage belting out some dramatic Broadway number that garnered a huge applause much to her satisfaction. 3 hours later and many shots all but Kurt had gotten up on stage to sing.</p><p>After enough begging and pleading ...and shots. He finally agreed to sing. When he walked up to the stage he told them the song he wanted to sing and Santana automatically pulled out her phone to record it.</p><p>At the first opening notes the three of them exchanged a look.</p><p>''I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing</p><p>Just praying to a God that I don't believe in</p><p>'Cause I got time while he got freedom</p><p>'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even''</p><p>Santana continued recording as an idea began forming itself in her head, keeping her camera phone focused on Kurt they kept on listening. He was singing in his lower register, not something they got to hear often.</p><p>''His best days were some of my worst</p><p>he finally met a man that's gonna put him first</p><p>While I'm wide awake he's no trouble sleeping</p><p>'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even... even... no</p><p>What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?</p><p>And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?</p><p>I'm falling to pieces, yeah,</p><p>I'm falling to pieces</p><p>They say bad things happen for a reason</p><p>But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding</p><p>'Cause he's moved on while I'm still grieving</p><p>And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even... no</p><p>What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?</p><p>And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?</p><p>I'm falling to pieces, yeah,</p><p>I'm falling to pieces, yeah,</p><p>I'm falling to pieces</p><p>(One still in love while the other one's leaving)</p><p>I'm falling to pieces</p><p>('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)</p><p>Oh, you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain</p><p>You took your suitcase, I took the blame.</p><p>Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, ooh</p><p>'Cause you left me with no love and honour to my name.</p><p>I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing</p><p>Just praying to a God that I don't believe in</p><p>'Cause I got time while he got freedom</p><p>'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break...</p><p>No, it don't break</p><p>No, it don't break even, no</p><p>What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?</p><p>And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?</p><p>(Oh glad you're okay now)</p><p>I'm falling to pieces, yeah</p><p>(Oh I'm glad you're okay)</p><p>I'm falling to pieces, yeah</p><p>(One still in love while the other one's leaving)</p><p>I'm falling to pieces</p><p>('Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even)</p><p>Oh, it don't break even no</p><p>Oh, it don't break even no</p><p>Oh, it don't break even no..."</p><p>When Kurt finished the song he had tears in his eyes. The entire bar was on their feet cheering for him and he just nodded gratefully to them before stepping off stage and walking towards the bar, he ordered a shot. Downed it and stepped outside to get some air, avoiding the looks he was getting from his 3 friends.</p><p>He couldn't help the thought that kept running across his mind.</p><p>"What AM I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?" he whispered sadly.</p>
