Song: Why Am I the One? by Fun

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

Rachel wasn't even really his girlfriend but it still stung when he was dumped even from the girl everyone hated.

Quinn was beautiful in that kind of way that makes you want to show her around and tell all the boys that she's your girl. Puck liked to call her his own for a while. She broke Puck's heart more than anyone else ever could. The first time he fell in love. The first time he was left wondering what was wrong with him. He calls himself a fool for thinking that nothing could go wrong.

Lauren was the love he didn't see coming. So different from the girls he was used to, Puck was sure that it meant that things were changing. Except that they never really did. In the end, he was still left broken-hearted.

Finishing high school with no girlfriend is perfect because he has kind of given up on love and relationships. If no one ever wants him past the sex, he won't want anyone past the pleasure.

When Puck moves to Los Angeles there are more people, the start always different, the ending always unchanging. He falls in love without planning to and waits for the next in line to break his heart and people never disappoint him.

He's twenty-five when he gets back to Lima for the first time. It's Summer and if it wasn't for the fact that his business got so successful that he now has employees, he wouldn't even have considered going back.

He sees Kurt for the first time in seven years at Burt's garage. Kurt's dressed in his usual strange clothes but holds himself with real confidence like he's not pretending to not care about other people but actually couldn't give a damn about it. He's sitting on a stool next to a car where Burt is working passing things before his dad has to ask for them.

Kurt looks up just as Puck is about to call out to him. Kurt stops mid-sentence and then smiles with honest happiness and it warms Puck in a strange way, it reminds him of being in high school and crushes that never really went away.

“Look what the cat dragged back inside!” He's up and hugging Puck before Puck can say anything.

“Hey Kurt,” he finally manages returning the hug.

From there it's almost all surreal. Kurt asks him out to lunch and they find themselves sharing a meal and old stories as if they were the best of friends, as if they were still eighteen and it feels perfect.

They've been together for three months, time pretty much lived between airports and phones, when Puck realizes that he's not waiting for the other shoe to drop. He's still in that stage where everything feels ten times better just because of the person at his side. He even thinks that the sun shines more brightly in the morning while he's cooking breakfast to Kurt and Kurt is still half-asleep on the other side of the table.

He realizes that for once he gets the feeling that he's right where he belongs, not somewhere but with someone, the right one, and he doesn't want to think about how everything could finish.

Yet, sometimes he wonders if Kurt feels as much as he does, he almost wants to ask Kurt, “if you love me, could you let me know?”

It takes him another month to realize that Kurt says it with facts more than with words and it's the best way. It's in the way Kurt holds him and in the way they kiss and Puck wouldn't have it any other way.
