Welcome to the fifth day of
30 Days of Puckurt Drabble in June!
You can see the rules post
here. Remember to put your theme and the rating (if the piece is anything past PG) in the subject line.
Keep up the good work. I'm impressed by how many people are actually managing a post every day!
It worked, mostly. Puck kept somewhat in touch with Finn via email. Every once in while, Puck actually answered the phone when Rachel called him. She was the only one from Glee club who had his address and whenever a few weeks passed without Puck picking up the phone, he’d find a box of real New York bagels on his doorstep, express shipped and still soft. Rachel’s bagels weren’t part of his past, though, so Puck wasn’t inclined to give them up. Mostly, Puck was happy with his new, history-less life.
Then he walked into the club and saw Kurt Hummel shimmying on the dance floor. The dancing Kurt was taller and a little broader across the chest and shoulders than Puck remembered. He didn’t carry himself like a boy afraid he was going to break if life touched him too hard. He moved like a man who knew exactly who and what he was, like a man who liked more about himself than he didn’t, like a man who wasn’t afraid to wear his past lightly, like the lacy shirt he wore over a skin-tight black tank.
The song transitioned into another with minimal change to the beat, but Kurt seemed to take it as a sign for a break. Puck watched him walking off the dance floor, sliding through the crowd like he had a map to exactly where he needed to be. Some movement seemed to catch Kurt’s eyes, because he turned his head toward Puck. When he saw Puck, his didn’t even look surprised; his face broke into a brilliant and joyful smile as he changed direction and headed towards Puck.
That was when Puck’s life without a past went right out the window…and he didn’t even mind.
