"I work at Hors de Prix," Puck replied with a little smile, followed by a short laugh. "It's funny. I always thought as a teenager that working at a strip club would be the coolest job ever. Like, it would be some kind of heaven of employment. But now I've got that... What I used to think would be a dream job... And it's just a job. Does nothing for me. It's just a living." It was true. He could remember being 15 or 16 and hoping that he'd grow up to run a strip club or be a porn star, but none of that really appealed to him anymore. He liked getting to work with Mike, and Remy was a good guy to work for, so that was why he liked his job. It had very little to do with the gorgeous women dancing on the stage. "Hey, a guy needs friends, no matter what. There are different kinds of friendship for sure, and I can use buddies to share a drink and a game with just like I need friends like B... It's just... My roommate... Mike, he was sort of the third musketeer to me and Blaine. We're roommates here, and we're tight as anything. It's like... Like we both miss B so much we've kind of had to make up for his not being here by getting closer ourselves. He's awesome. But even with that, there's just... There's a connection between me and Blaine that nobody else ever got or was ever able to replicate. It was a joke with all our friends, because we were so damn different, but we would've killed to protect each other."

Puck couldn't believe the kindness that was being shown to him out of the blue by this stranger, but in a way, she wasn't really a stranger. She knew the story that had rocked his world completely, and she understood where he was coming from even if she wasn't there herself. "Blaine would never forgive me if he showed up here and I hadn't taken care of Kurt," he replied. "It was always kind of an understanding we had. If anything happened to him, I was supposed to look after Kurt, and he would take care of my... My wife. If anything happened to me. But now Kurt's here, and my marriage isn't even a thing here, so... I guess watching out for Kurt is kind of the one thing I can do."
