"We're actually stuck here!?" moaned Kurt.
The snow was rapidly falling outside the cabin.
Kurt thought the getaway would help him get over the fact that his ex-boyfriend broke up with him over the holidays, but now - sitting here stuck in a cabin - all Kurt could think about was what he could have done better to maybe keep his ex. He wanted to feel miserable and wallow in his own self-pity; but this trip was supposed to be like a fresh start. The vacation was supposed to be filled with skiing. And having a sexy ski trainer fall in love with him while sipping hot chocolate. And they end up making love in front of a raging warm fire.
Oh, if dreams could come true.
Puck sat on the couch, his legs stretched out in front of him. "I don't see what the big deal is."
"Of course you wouldn't think it’s a big deal! This is pretty much how Neanderthals live. No cells phones, no internet, no outside interactions! Oh gaga, I'm going to die here wi- with all you!"
"Stop being so dramatic, Kurt," Santana said popping her gum while her fingers twirled around Brittany's hair. "This is going to be fun. Just think. No parents banging on the door while you’re trying to make out with your girlfriend."
Brittany frowned. "I thought Kurt didn't like girly parts. Isn't he our gay dolphin?"
"Don't talk. Come with me," said Santana leading Brittany to one of the rooms.
Kurt rolled his eyes. Not only was he here with most of the glee club members, but everyone was basically coupled up. Finn and Rachel, Tina and Mike, Santana and Brittany. Kurt eyed Puck, even though they were a little friendly towards each other it seemed as though they would most likely be stuck with one another.
"Cool it with that shit alright," said Puck "The rangers know we are here. We won't be here any longer than three or four days. It’s just like we were supposed to be while we were on vacation.
"Yeah we'll be fine, right?" asked Tina. Looking around the room she spotted the bookshelf. "Look there's board games, books, movies. We'll be fine."
"I think this is wonderful actually." said Rachel coming from the kitchen. "After this year we'll all be separated and moving on with our lives. Maybe getting stuck here was our time to spend as much time as we could with one another."
"We can always sing," said Finn.
"What a great idea!" said Rachel clapping her hands together and facing the room.
"Not happening. I get enough of that in Lima." Puck said leaning further onto the couch and closing his eyes.
"Well Noah you don't have participate. Finn and I'll just go to one of the back rooms and sing to one another."
"Ha! Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays ?" said a smirking Puck.
In the corner Mike and Tina were giggling giving another Eskimo kisses.
"Get a room you two!" shouted Kurt flopping down onto the couch. Kurt sighed. He might as well face his fate being stuck with Puck for the remainder of the trip. I mean who wouldn't want to be locked up in a room with their significant other while there were no interruptions and no worries. When there were rapid teenage hormones running wild and free. Tina stuck out her tongue at Kurt while pulling Mike up from the armchair.
"Don't mind if we do. We're just going to go sing to one another." Mike said winking at Puck.
With his arms crossed over his chest, Kurt sighed again. Leaning his head back onto the couch he released another breath.
Puck opened one of his eyes, looking over at Kurt. Smirking, Puck closed his eye again. Kicking off his boots he placed his feet up onto the coffee table.
"Really?! Puck, remove your feet from that table," said Kurt sounding scandalized.
“I know this may be hard for you to do but live a little Hummel worst shit has happened,”
Kurt looked over at the other boy. He at least got that right. They could have been in worst consequences. He knew he was acting a like a stubborn five year old but who could blame him.
"It looks as though we're stuck together huh, Princess?"
Kurt rolled his eyes again. Yeah it looked as though it was going to be a long couple of days.
***GLEE ***
Kurt had survived the first day of being stranded in the cabin. He was hoping he could get through a second night. He dipped his foot into the bubbling hot water. Perfect, thought Kurt. Sliding the rest of his body into the hot water he began to relax. The hot tub sat in a closed-in balcony on the upper level of the cabin. The glass windows gave them an amazing view of the now setting sun. It would have been a perfect night for lovers.
"Move over, Princess,"
Kurt rolled his eyes but scooted over onto the other side of the tub. Well there goes the relaxation, Kurt though.
"Ah, this feels great!" said Puck sinking into the water.
Silence wrapped around them as they enjoyed the pretty colors the setting sun cast in the sky.
Kurt sunk lower into the warm water. Lost in thought he felt water flick onto his face.
"I know you’re not thinking about that jerkface?" asked Puck.
"Can't help it," said Kurt with a shrug.
"He was a fucking asswipe. Still is."
"He was good to me sometimes,"
"He was an asshole, definitely not worth as much time as you gave him," said Puck making a fist under the water.
Even though Puck wouldn’t admit aloud how he felt about Kurt just yet he didn’t want to have to witness the outcome of Kurt being let down again. Something had to give and Puck would have to up the ante on getting there semi friendship to the next level. Puck hated the crappy guy Kurt was going out with. Maybe because he had to see Kurt firsthand with another guy to finally realize for the last two years all he had been doing was pulling pigtails with Kurt. He sometimes wished that Kurt would look at him like he did that asshole ex-boyfriend. He could be better for Kurt. He was better for Kurt. Kurt just didn’t know that yet.
"I thought he cared for me. I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong,"
"You didn’t’ do anything wrong. Dude, I witnessed how he treated you. Not cool. You can do way better, Kurt."
Kurt jerked his head up at the sound of his name coming from Puck. It was always Hummel, dude, or Princess. But hearing Puck actually say his name made him feel like Puck was talking to him not at him. And now looking into the other boys eyes Kurt could actually say that maybe, just maybe, he didn't need that sexy ski trainer after all.
***GLEE***
After being stuck in the snow for the last three days the group had become restless even sex couldn’t keep Santana and Brittany that entertained. This was surprising to Kurt because he hadn’t seen Mike and Tina for the last three days the couple had been venturing out for dinner which was made a rule by Rachel herself but other than that they stayed locked in there room. Santana even joked that if she knew beforehand that they were going to be stuck she would have bought along more toys. Kurt didn’t even want to know the half of it. Even though the snow was falling more slowly and they were still stuck and it was still considered unsafe on the roads to travel anywhere the small group gathered outside. Santana did deem it worthy enough to get some fresh air and play in the snow after Brittany insisted. So here Kurt was bundled up in his snow coat which he didn’t think he was even going to have to use after he snagged his sexy ski trainer.
"Noah Puckerman, if you throw that snowball at me you'll never see the light of day again!" said Kurt as he glared at the other boy who was tossing a freshly made snowball from one hand to the other.
"Come on Princess, don't act like that. Everybody has to play in the snow at least once."
"Try never. Now drop the snowball and no one will get hurt," said Kurt slowly backing away but keeping a steady eye on Noah.
"If you value your life dude, I'd drop the snowball," said Finn to Puck as he stepped around them.
"You heard Finn, drop the snowball Noah," Kurt’s eyes flicked back forth to Noah’s hand to his face.
"Your pretty pissy today--," before Puck could finish, a snowball hit him in the back. “What the hell!?” exclaimed Puck turning to look at the culprit. "Santana, really?!" said Puck looking at the Latina girl holding her stomach from laughing so hard.
"You should have seen your face. Funny as fuck!"
"Come on Kurt! Play in the snow with us!" the blond haired girl shouted. Brittany was too busy to see the face Kurt gave her as she rapidly waved her arms back and forth as she made a snow angel.
"Come on. Loosen up a little," said Puck making another rather large snowball.
Maybe this was what he needed thought Kurt. He didn't need his slimy ex-boyfriend to be happy; he had good friends that he knew truly cared for him. Hence him actually being here was showing him how much they cared was enough.
"What the hell," he murmured dropping down into the snow and waving his arms back and forth wildly.
"That's the spirit Kurt!" shouted Rachel. "Ahh! Santana that hit me in the face!"
"Duh, Rachel that was the whole point."
Kurt couldn't help but laugh at that lifting up from the snow he saw Rachel trying to clean the snow from her face. "Hey Princess you wanna see my big balls!?" Puck said coming into his line of vision holding the two large snowballs in front of his crotch. All Kurt could do was laugh harder and fall back into the snow. "Oh-kay, I think you've been stuck in the cabin for a little too long," said Puck dropping the snow.
"Come on Rach we can go in and warm up now. I believe it's our turn to get the hot tub," said Finn coming up behind the poor girl who still had snow on her face.
"Ew," said Kurt scrunching up his face while still lying in the snow. Glad that Noah and him got to actually use the hot tub before anyone else corrupted it.
"Definitely a double ew to that. Want some company?' asked Puck as he lay down in the snow as well.
"This is crazy. We'll be sick."
"We'll be all right," Puck said.
"Whatever, Dr. Puckerman,"
"Hmm, that has a nice ring to it. Maybe I should examine you when we go inside…"
"You’re a pervert."
"You'd love it though. When was the last time you had a prostate examine Mr. Hummel?" said a smirking Puck.
"Oh Gods," Kurt said blushing.
Kurt didn't know how or when it happened but after talking and being stuck with Puck for as long as he had been their friendship had shifted. There banter at one another turned into flirting. He sometimes felt Puck staring at him longer than necessary or the touches that linger longer than normal. The weirder thing was that Kurt allowed it. Not only did he allow it but he felt himself enjoying it as well. Call him crazy but wasn’t this what he wanted; to be wanted again and loved? Even though Puck wasn't the sexy ski trainer that Kurt had had in mind. Puck did have a certain sexiness about him though. Kurt was indeed going crazy.
“I'm going back in." Puck said snapping Kurt from his thoughts. Walking towards the cabin's front door turning back slightly Puck looked at Kurt. "Coming, Princess?"
"You promise you’re not holding a snowball behind your back?" he asked getting up and looking suspiciously at the other boy.
"Nope, none at all," he said holding up his hands as if he was surrendering.
Kurt narrowed his eyes and walked towards the door. He felt Puck place his arm around his shoulder. Kurt felt as though a big burden was being lifted from his shoulders. He'd never felt as carefree and happy as he did just now. Even though he could feel the snow seeping in through his coat and have had been stuck in the cabin for more than three days he never felt happier. And that was saying something. He never laughed and felt so good like this during his relationship. Yeah okay so Kurt could admit that he had some good friends and maybe Puck was helping out more than he even knew.
***GLEE***
After everyone had grudgingly agreed to uphold to Rachel’s idea of cooking dinner and everyone eating together Kurt found himself in the kitchen with Puck. Everyone had decided to at least be put on dinner duty one night while breakfast and lunch was a free for all.
"It’s our turn to make dinner tonight," said Kurt glancing at the food that was inside the refrigerator. He could only thank the stars for the people who owned the cabins to have had filled the cabinets and fridge with food and snacks. Otherwise they would have really been out of luck.
"Yup. What do you have in mind?" Puck asked while he hopped up onto the counter.
"You do know people eat off that counter, right?"
"My ass is clean, Hummel."
"That’s beside the point," tuning back around Kurt held up random vegetables in his hand. "How about a stir fry?! It's good and healthy."
"Whatever dude, I'm just going to sit back and watch."
"Not happening. I'll rinse and you'll cut. And don't call me dude."
"Give me these," Puck grabbed a knife beginning to butcher the poor vegetables.
"Stop! You’re killing them," said Kurt with a horror stricken expression.
"Chill out. It's not that serious,"
"Of course you wouldn't understand you need to put love into the food. There is a certain grace about this,"
"Princess I thought we were trying to make food, not love?"
"Shut your mouth and rinse."
"Yes sir!" Puck said marching over to the sink.
"You're an ass."
"I don't know Hummel; you've been talking about ass a lot lately. I think maybe you’re infatuated with mine," said a smiling Puck.
Kurt scoffed and rolled his eyes. But a grin slowly spread across his face. Well he did have a nice ass but he wouldn't admit it to Puck at least.
"Come on admit it Hummel. It is a pretty nice ass right? But you know I'm more of a leg man myself. Nice long legs to hold onto and bend whichever way you desire. Having them wrap around your waist as you get deep and harder inside a nice wet --"
"Shit!" Kurt had nicked his finger while cutting up the carrots. Listening to Puck had distracted him a little too much.
"Damn. Let me get the first aid kit," Puck rushed into the other room where the kit was placed on a shelf.
"Is everything okay?" asked Tina who was writing in her notebook on the couch.
"Yeah, Hummel just nicked his finger, gonna clean it up now," he said while walking briskly back to the kitchen.
Kurt was standing by the sink and rinsing the cut with warm water. Puck came up behind him while placing the kit on the counter.
"How is it?" asked Puck. His breath fanning across Kurt's neck making the slighter man shiver.
"Erm-- it's not as bad as it looks," said Kurt. Feeling Puck close on his back was making his heart beat faster and his breathing picked up.
"Maybe I should kiss it better," said Puck.
"I don't think that's necessary," said Kurt turning around to face the other boy. Now being chest to chest didn't make this any easier.
"Not the cut per se," said Puck leaning closer to Kurt. He kissed the soft pink lips. A whimper escaped from his lips as Kurt gripped Puck's biceps.
"Wha--?" Kurt truly didn't know what or why Puck would kiss him. It only made him more confused. Did Puck like him? Was he just doing this to make Kurt feel better about himself after their heart to heart the day before? Kurt didn't know but right now as Puck's tongue licked at his lips trying to gain entrance Kurt just went with it.
***GLEE***
The trip was coming to an end and while Puck and Kurt sat on the couch everyone else was enjoying the last night in the cabin. They were finally getting rescued. Apparently that was deemed another reason to have more sex.
"You’re not that bad Hummel," said Puck placing his arm around Kurt's shoulders.
"Not bad? I'm the best you ever had." said the other boy turning his body so that he could fully snuggle into Puck's chest.
"Yeah, whatever and if you ever tell anyone that I'm totally into this cuddling thing, I'll put snow down your pants."
"Shut up and kiss me," said Kurt pulling Puck closer down to his lips.
Even though they were finally going to get back home with some other civilization; Kurt didn't think that being stuck in a cabin would bring him any closer to Puck. Kurt had been really looking forward to falling in love with that sexy ski trainer. Feeling Puck pull him onto his lap he could admit that this was close enough too.
