Summary: It wasn't there first fight, but it was by far their worst...
It wasn’t there first fight, but it was by far their worst. Puck wasn’t even sure how it happened. All he knew was that it was probably his fault, it was always his fault. Which explained why he was currently sitting on his bed fiddling with his guitar, trying to figure out how to fix this. Although, no matter how many ways he looked at it, there was nothing he could do to apologize besides begging for Kurt’s forgiveness. Which at this point, didn’t seem like such a bad idea but Noah Puckerman didn’t back down, no matter what!

When Puck called Kurt three hours later, he wasn’t surprised when Kurt didn’t pick up. “Kurt. I know you’re by your phone and are just ignoring me.” Still Kurt didn’t answer. “Fine. Just do me a favor and come over to my house as soon as you can.” With that, Puck hung up the phone and did the only thing he could, wait.
Lucky for him, his waiting on lasted for twenty minutes, which was a shorter wait then he had original prepared for. After a second or two of Puck just sitting on his bed and Kurt standing in his doorway, Puck took the initiative and walked over to his stereo. He took a calming breath and pushed play. William Fitzsimmons’ voice softly filled the room as Puck made his way over to Kurt. He then held his hand out to Kurt. “Dance with me?”
Kurt looked down at Puck’s hand before sliding his hand into Puck’s. He then took a step closer to Puck and placed his other hand on Puck’s shoulder. Puck’s empty hand found it’s way to Kurt’s hip, pulling Kurt closer to him.
They swayed to the music without saying a word to each other for half the song before Puck spoke up. “I’m sorry.”
Kurt said nothing, just leaned in closer to Puck so that he could rest his head on Puck’s shoulder. They danced in silence until the end of the song. Only then did Kurt talk. “You were in my dream last night.”
Puck wanted to move so that he could see Kurt’s face but at the same time, he really didn’t want to lose the warmth of Kurt. “Oh yeah? Good or bad?”
Kurt nuzzled Puck’s neck. “Good.”
A smile found it’s way onto Puck’s face. “Wanna tell me about it?”
“I don’t remember much.” Puck’s smile faltered a little but he said nothing. “All I remember is that we were together but were mad at each other. All I remember you saying was ‘come home.’ I don’t know why you were saying it or what I did but when you called and told me to come here, all I could think was that my dream was telling me to come here instead of still ignoring you, which I had planned on doing.”
The song in the background changed to Jakob Dylan and Puck took the opportunity to twirl Kurt around before responding. “Your subconscious is telling you that you belong with me”
Puck heard a soft chuckle come from his shoulder. “I guess so.”
The background music picked up pace by switching to Snow Patrol and the lyrics hit Puck as he wrapped his arms tighter around Kurt. Kurt made a small sound of protest before trying to snuggle closer. “I love you Kurt.”
Kurt froze in his spot as Puck’s words rang in his ears. They had been dating for two months and it had been the first time either of them had said ‘I love you.’ Kurt honestly never thought that those three words would ever come out of Puck’s mouth. That thought wasn’t the one that made him freeze though. The thought that did was the fact that all Kurt wanted to do was say ‘I love you’ back and then stay like this for the rest of his life. “Who would have thought that at seventeen I would find a guy I want to be with for a long time.”
“A long time?” Puck found himself repeating the last part of Kurt’s response.
After hearing how scared Puck sounded, Kurt assumed that he said the wrong thing and tried to pull away, but found that Puck just pulled him closer. So, Kurt did the next best thing, he whispered and hoped that Puck heard him. “Is a long time too long?”
Puck sighed when he realized that he did the wrong thing by taking too long to answer. “It isn’t long enough.” Kurt felt himself inhale at Puck’s response. Puck took it as a good sign and continued talking. “I want to be with you for a really long time. I mean, every time I see you I’m blown away by how amazing you look. You are truly beautiful and I love how you’re willing to be with me of all people. I’ve fallen for you, and I’ve fallen hard.”
There was silence after that. They just continued to sway to the music that was now Pink Floyd. They had many fights through out the course of their relationship but they were always able to make up a few days later. Their relationship wasn’t easy, but after their first big fight, no matter what, if you asked them, they would say that being in a relationship was truly paradise.
