Klaine Advent 2015 Day 19, "Shift"

I may be facing the impossible,
I may be chasing after miracles.
And there may be the steepest mountain to overcome.
But this is step one.

Step One - Kinky Boots

Kurt Hummel and Noah Puckerman are nothing alike. That is probably why theyre best friends. Okay, that is not entirely true. They both signed up for glee club for different reasons and the fact that they were both part of the New Directions didnt make them friends. But when Puck found Kurt crying in his car one day after the jocks mistreated him again, Puck vowed to protect him.

At school, many people didnt know. Sure, Puck openly threathed every douchebag that even tried to hurt Kurt, but to many, it wasnt more than that. The glee club knew different. They knew how they were always together outside of school. Most suspected they were plotting to kill Dave Karofsky, but theres never been proof.

They could always rely on each other. So when one year after graduation, Kurt found Puck outside his apartment after his LA pool cleaning business dream crashed, he took him in without hesitation.

Also, he needed someone to pay the rent with him.

And to everyones surprise, Puck came to love New York, especially the nightclubs. The only thing he didnt like was his job. The preferred cleaning pools over working in a diner, but they pay well. He has to endure horrible singing waitresses, but so be it.

But then there is this one waiter.

Blaine Anderson is new, and he got the job after Günther heard him play piano. Puck is quite envious of the guy, because he spends more time doing that than actually serving tables, but hes good.

And Puck knows he is the guy Kurt needs. Kurt keeps on insisting that he is happily single, but that Bruce boyfriend pillow shows that he needs someone to hold him. Romantically. Puck is still Kurts bro.

Kurt never worked on the days Blaine Anderson was working/playing, but Puck saw him almost every other day. Over the span of three weeks, Puck makes it his mission to get to know Blaine. Basically, the only thing he needs to know is if hes gay, single, and ready to mingle.

So when he overhears Blaine telling a girl that hit on him that hes not playing for her team, Puck dances. A couple of days later, one of their co-workers asks if Blaine is seeing someone, and Blaine grumbles and shakes his head.

Step one of Pucks "let Kurt woo Blaine" plan is done.

Step two is making sure they meet. Kurt avoids the diner when hes not working there, so thats a bit difficult.

But when Puck meets a chick, he has an idea (it wasnt his plan to meet someone, but he isnt complaining).

"Pleaaase," Puck begs his friend.

"No Noah. Im busy enough," Kurt mutters, "the Winter Showcase is approaching. I am trying to get a spot."

"Youve been practising for days. Fuck, even I know the words to Being Alive by now! You sound great and you need a break!"

"A break means taking over your shift on Wednesday at the Diner?" Kurt snorts, "What a break!"

"Please, dude, Louisana is totally worth it!" Puck continues.

"You say that about every girl you meet, its getting boring. Tell me something new."

"Ill make you my nanas infamous chili and Ill buy you Vogue for a year!" Puck says. Kurt remains silent and Puck can see hes considering it. Kurt cant say no to nana Puckermans chili and Vogue.

"...deal."

Puck throws his arms in the air and then hugs Kurt. "Fuck yeah, happy early Hannukah to me!"

In the end, it didnt work out with Louisana. After two disatrous dates, she met a girl at Columbia and that was that. Completely bummed, Puck went home, but when he saw Kurt and Blaine making out on their couch, it was so worth it.
