Part XXXI
Morning took too long to come for most of them, with little time to sleep between watches or completely unable to do so because they were just too worried. They spent most of the night looking out for zombies and trying hard to avoid thinking about the way their friends had left with all the odds against them.
Almost everyone had tried to go back to their chosen duty, and their lookout places. Some were trying to get some sleep downstairs or those rooms with less contact to the exterior, but Kurt went back to Puck’s bed. The earplugs would keep the shots at bay; he had said when the boy told him it was fine if he wanted to be with the others, the partners shouldn’t split even when they were in a safe zone.
But his mind just couldn’t shut up.
Mercedes was gone, as it was her father and the rest of her family, Lauren’s mom was dead, and Lauren herself might as well be if she was really infected, they had lost Stevie and Stacy, Artie was probably gone too, all parents were gone excepting for Rachel’s, Quinn was missing, he had killed an innocent boy, Stanley… among the countless nameless zombies he had shot while Puck was asleep.
How it was that things got so messed up in least than a week?
Should they just keep thinking that everyone was either infected or dead? And if it was like that, why were they alive? How had they managed to be uninfected when everyone else was like that?
And what about their parents and family? Should he just stop hoping to find them?
He really didn’t want to think like that, he just couldn’t. With time, when all of this got easier, his family was going to appear. Maybe his dad had gone to his grandma’s or to Toledo to see Carole’s family. And maybe the same could be said about Puck’s mom and sister.
Now, it was just a matter of time. They just had to keep surviving until things calmed down, until the zombies went away.
Then, and only then, they’d be able to get out of town, to look for their families elsewhere. He could even detour a little to check on Blaine at Dalton, who, really, was the safest of them all as long as he kept enclosed at the building and didn’t venture outside like Kurt had done.
Sometimes he really wished he had listened to what the warblers had said and stayed there. But then Kurt looked around, looked at his brother, his friends, Puck, and just knew there was no way he could live with himself not knowing what was happening in Lima where all the people he cared about was.
Blaine was safe at Dalton, so Kurt wasn’t really worried for him right now, but as risky as it was being on Lima right now, Kurt wouldn’t change it for the safety of Westerville. No if it implied not knowing what was happening with his family.
Should he start worrying about Blaine too, about zombies on Westerville? Maybe what had happened in Lima had happened everywhere and here he was thinking that Blaine was safe at Dalton, when in reality Blaine was just as screwed as he was.
“Kurt, shut your brain down. It’s been an hour and half and you are still awake” Puck said, after he took the earplug from without Kurt noticing. He turned around in bed and looked at the guy, who was grinning down on him.
“It has been that long, really?”
“Yup, and if you don’t fall asleep soon you are going to be a zombie tomorrow” he said with a smirk.
“Ha-ha. You are so funny,” Kurt deadpanned. “My mind is all over the place. I can’t get asleep like that, no matter how tired I am”
“Do you want me to tire you out faster?” Puck said, with a grin.
“Don’t let your mouth write checks that your body can’t cash out, Puck” he answered with a smile that had more to do with Puck’s willingness to get his mind out of the situation than what was being said.
“Dunno, man, Matt’s ass felt really nice when we were fucking April. I’m almost sure I could cash it” Puck said with a laugh, while Kurt’s eyes got huge.
“Why were you touching Matt’s ass?” he asked.
“I needed the leverage if I wanted her to scream” Puck shrugged, sitting on the bed and looking at him calmly. “Just go to sleep, Kurt. I don’t want you tired tomorrow; we’re going to have one hell of a day”
“I’m trying. I just can’t stop worrying about everything” Kurt said, letting his head fall back on the pillow.
“Ok, worry about this instead” Puck said, kissing his lips softly. It was barely there, and it lasted less than ten seconds, but it was a kiss. One that really didn’t have a reason other than to keep him distracted. Did it?
Also, did that count as cheating?
God, what did it mean?
“Puck, what was that about?” he asked, sitting up for a little. Puck had gone back to his place on the window and was licking his lips while looking outside.
“Dunno for you, man, but I can tell that the last thing from my mind right now is the hell outside. I think, as far as distractions go, it was one hell of a good one” he said, looking back at him with a grin. “Think about the kiss, man, about me cashing that check out after all. I bet it’s going to be a nicer distraction than whatever you were thinking before. You’ll fall asleep easier”
Kurt laughed and fell back to bed with a small disbelieving smile on his face.
Fifteen minutes later Puck looked back to check on him, and found him out like a light.

“We need to go somewhere bigger. Not to offend you, Puckerman, but your house barely held you, your mom and your sister, it can’t hold all of us” Santana said, eating small crumbs of bread and ham.
Hiram and Leroy were trying to be as conscious about stuff as they could, giving them all the perishable food now, before it started to go bad, and leaving all the canned and non-perishable stuff for later. They just didn’t know how long they were going to have to resist like this, but they needed to be make it last as long as they could. Some of them, like Finn, might have complained a bit, but Rachel was enough to make everyone obey even if just to have her shut up.
Everyone was tired and no one wanted to listen to her rant if they could help it.
“Man, don’t I know it” he said. “We never thought that so many people would end up staying here. It was going to be Finn, Rachel and her dads, and me” he said, shrugging while he served himself some milk and cereal.
“We should try to find something near the river. If what Kurt noticed is true then at least we won’t have to worry about them coming from the water” Tina said. She had her eyes closed, and Mike was giving her a massage on the shoulders.
“What about McKinley?” Mike asked, looking at Kurt and Puck for an answer. “At least there’s a distance between it and everything else, if you take on the baseball fields, parking lots, and stuff, so we’d be able to see if something is coming much earlier than when it knocks on our door”
“But it’s a big building. It must have all sort of creepers inside by now” Santana said, looking tired.
“It sounds good” Finn said, rubbing his eyes.
“The only other place that has that much amount of distance to the streets is the cemeteries, and it’s a bit too morbid right now” Rachel supplied, while trying to get Kurt to eat some more. “Besides, maybe there will be more people in needing of refuge, and the school has enough space for everyone”
“I don’t even know where we are going to sleep there. I don’t want to sleep on the floor” Kurt said, letting his head fall to Puck’s shoulder. The mohawked boy just put a hand on his hair, ruffling it, before going back to his cereal, letting him rest some more.
“Maybe we could pile up some mattresses over your car and take them there. You are right, if we are going to be living at school we might as well get as comfortable as we can” Rachel said, nodding to herself.
“First, we need to go kill the fuckers at school, ‘cause I’m sure there must be some around and I don’t want surprises in the middle of the night” Puck said, before muttering a sorry to Hiram who was looking at him like he was going to chastise him for his language.
“We are going to need more bullets, man. I’m not the best shooter out there, but if we’re going to be shooting as much as we did yesterday we are going to need way more for the next days” Lauren said.
Not everyone knew about her possible infection yet, but those who did tried hard not to look at the way she just wasn’t touching her breakfast, but kept staring at it like it would bite her a soon as she didn’t.
“Well, my dad always complained that the only place in town to get any ammunition was Lynn’s pawn shop. If we don’t find anything else we might be in need to go out of town, to Wapakoneta or Ottawa, maybe” Kurt answered, not even bothering to open his eyes.
“Ok, then. Kurt goes to Lynn’s and everyone else goes to McKinley. Easy peachy” Santana said, with a shrug.
“Not a chance that I’m leaving Kurt to go alone. I’m going with him” Puck said, almost immediately.
“Well, we are going to need every hand at school, Puck” she said.
“We are partners, and in zombie apocalypse, if there’s one thing you know is that no one goes anywhere alone” Puck replied.
“Finn can go with him, we need good shooters there”
“No, you are all going to be fine with people who actually know the place. Before last year I didn’t even knew we had a library. I’m going with Kurt and that’s final”
