Chapter 35

When a shirtless, tearstained Kurt showed up at his door, Puck wasn't sure what to do. The brunette had collapsed almost instantly, nearly hitting his head on the doorjamb before Puck caught him. He started mumbling incoherently, "so sorry, didn't know, please."

"Guys! Get down here now!" Puck yelled down the hall, helping his shivering friend into the living room and setting him on the couch. Kurt whimpered in pain as he connected with the furniture, shifting uncomfortably.

Sam and Sebastian came trooping into the room, barely dressed and looking confused. When the blonde caught his of his friend however, he launched onto the couch beside him and held him tightly. Kurt whined in pain again but leaned into his friend, clearly desperate for comfort.

"Kurt what happened?" Sebastian asked, trying to get a grip on the situation.

"S-said I was in trouble... dunno what I did... so sorry." Kurt sobbed into Sam's shoulder again. Sebastian rubbed his temple and stormed into the kitchen, grabbing the phone off its cradle and calling Blaine.

"Hello?" the voice on the other end sniffled.

"Blaine! What the fuck did you do to him?" Sebastian demanded instantly.

"What? Is Kurt there? Is he okay?" Blaine demanded, his voice urgent.

"Yes he's here and no he's damn not okay. What did you fucking do?"

"I was punishing him for what happened with Jace. I told him to stay at the table and wait for me. He safeworded and ran out." Blaine explained, exasperated.

"Fuck Blaine! What's the first thing they tell you in sex Ed?" Sebastian growled, running a hand through his hair. "You never punish a sub when you're mad; it fucks up your judgement! Did you even consider that he might have been too plastered to even remember what happened? Did you think about how hard you were hitting him?"

A pained noise, nearly a whimper, sounded from the other end of the line before Blaine spoke. "I'll be there in a few minutes."

"No, Blaine, I think you need to give him some time. Let him stay here for the rest of the weekend. You'll see him Monday and you can talk then." Blaine sighed but agreed reluctantly. Sebastian talked to him a little longer, mostly digging about how utterly stupid he'd been.

*break*

"Sammy... hmm... gonna get us in trouble." Kurt mumbled as Sam's arms tightened around his waist, his lips playing against the brunette's pale neck.

"Wanna make you happy." He smiled against his skin and nuzzled it with his nose the way Kurt liked. The tiniest of smiles crept onto Kurt's face and he giggled a little.

"So you're making me happy by giving me a neck job?" he asked. Sam rolled his eyes.

"Well, he didn't think you'd take so well to me asking if you wanted to take a ride on Puckzilla." Puck snickered from beside them. Kurt's eyes widened in horror as a throat cleared behind him. All three turned to see an amused Sebastian.

"I- I'm sorry, I ju-" Kurt stuttered, trying to scramble off of Sam's lap as the blonde boy held him firmly.

"It's okay Kurt." Sebastian assured, smiling. "If we're being honest, they're both horny little bastards." He chuckled, ruffling Puck's mohawk as the footballer protested.

"Well lucky you." Kurt mumbled.

"Kurt?" Sebastian asked slowly. The brunette looked at him curiously. "Do you remember what happened last night?"

A slightly worried look and a shake of the head answered him. "You were pretty drunk. Blaine left you alone and Jace, god only knows how, convinced you to dance with him. He got a little inappropriate and when Blaine came back he pretty much broke his nose. That's why Blaine was upset with you." He noticed the tears welling up in Kurt's eyes, the look of shame.

"Hey, that's no reason for him to hurt you." Sebastian insisted. "It says very clearly in your contract that he's supposed to explain why you are being punished. His judgment was blurred by anger and he fucked up. You did nothing wrong here."

Kurt nodded slowly and slumped back into Sam, processing everything he'd just heard.

*break*

"Daddy?" Puck mumbled into Sebastian's chest that night, cuddling closer when he kissed him on the head.

"Yes baby?"

"What's gonna happen to Kurt?"

Sebastian sighed. "He'll be fine baby boy, I promise. Blaine would never hurt him intentionally. They're just going to need some time to get back on track." He smiled down at Puck and tilted his chin up so he could kiss him softly. "Hang out with him tomorrow okay? He needs his friends right now."

"Okay daddy." Puck smiled a little before yawning. Sebastian chuckled and suggested they get some rest.
