"How long have you been in love with her?" Kurt asked, somewhat whispered.
Puck didn't say anything. His eyes grew wide and he stared at he boy in the driver's seat. His mind trying to wrap around what exactly he had just said. He quickly looked to Rachel to make sure she hadn't woken up and then back to Kurt.
"What did you say?"
"Dammit, Puck. How long have you been in love with her?" He sighed and shook his head, whispering something about a mohawk letting all the brains and insufferable idiot or something of the other.
Puck still didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. "How do you know?" he whispered, turning his head to look out the window.
Kurt gave a small smile. "I'm gay not blind. Hell, Brittany could tell that you're in, well, still in love with her." He shook his head and looked at the football player.
"Well, its true."
"Duh. And you know what Puck?"
"What?"
"I'd say she's still in love with you too."
The ride back to the Berry's household remained quiet. Puck was still trying to wrap his mind around what Kurt said. "I'd say she's still in love with you too."
Did that mean that Rachel was finally over Finn? And Jesse? Puck wouldn't lie. Ever since that four day stunt the two had a year ago, Puck hated breaking up with her. He hated the way he had treated her, let the other members of the Glee club treat her.
"We're here," Kurt's voice broke through his thoughts as he turned the car off and climbed out to help Puck carry Rachel inside. Puck didn't say anything as he followed and got the tiny girl from the back.
Rachel's dads met them at the door and smiled as they stepped aside to allow Puck to bring her up to her room. Kurt hung back to tell them how the day went, slipping Puck a little smile.
Puck didn't want to wake her up and knew his way around Rachel's room pretty well now, even without turning the lights on. Laying her down in her bed and covering up, he smiled. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
"Goodnight Rachel," he whispered and made his way to the door. He was about to close it when he heard Rachel's voice from behind her.
"What was that?" He asked, not sure if she had actually said anything and was awake or if she was just mumbling in her sleep again.
"I heard you in the car"
